virtu

“The motto of my battalion was Ne desit virtus – Let valor not fail.”

Small articles of virtu, as jewelry, trinkets, etc.

In connexion with the natural history society there is a valuable museum, and the scientific institute possesses a large library and a rich collection of antiquities, coins and articles of virtu.

It may be the foundation of a set of bronzes, if stout Lord Walter should turn to virtu.

Not only articles of virtu, but also artists themselves, were sent over to this country from the continent, who displayed their skill in building temples, making images, decorating shrines with fresco paintings, and so forth.
