This palazzo of Cosmo the Elder is a good type of Florentine architecture at its ultimate epoch, just as Cosmo himself was the largest expression of the Florentine citizen in the last and over-ripe stage.

The Greek holds beauty and truth closely akin and inseparable; "cosmos" is his common expression for the world and for ornament.

" "Cosmos is a delight at the end of the season," remarked Mr. Emerson.
