Addison, Joseph: Remarks on several parts of Italy: &c. in the years 1701, 1702, 1703 (London: Tonson, 1718)

supply the whole City of Naples. While
the Banditti continu’d their Disorders
in this Kingdom, they often put the
Snow-Merchants under Contribution,
and threaten’d them, if they appear’d
tardy in their Payments, to destroy their
Magazines, which they say might easily
have been effected by the Infulion os some
Barrels of Oil.
It would have been tedious to have
put down the many Descriptions that
the Latin Poets have made of several
of the Places mention’d in this Chapter:
I shall therefore conclude it with the
general Map which Silins Italians has
given us os this great Bay of Naples,
Most of the Places he mentions lye
within the lame Prospedt, and if I have
pass’d over any of them, it is because I
(hall take them in my Way by Sea,
from Naples to Rome.
