abridge the time devoted to Naples and
Rome, pass the summer in Tuscany, go

common in these seasons to see the lakes
pass, in the short space of half an hour,
from a state of perfect calm to the most
tremendous agitation.

the posts well furnished with horses, and
robberies not common ; travelling is there-
