PRELIMINARY DISCOURSE.
observations are confined, the little country
inns are dirty, but the greater inns, parti-
cularly in Rome, Naples, Florence, and
Venice, are good, and in general the linen
is clean, and the beds are excellent. As
for diet, in country towns, the traveller will
find plenty of provisions, though seldom
prepared according to his taste. But,
“ il faut bien,” says Mr. De la Lande,
“ racket er par quelque chose les agremens de
Vltalie”
This representation of Italian accommo-
dations, which it is hoped, will be found
on experience tolerably accurate, is not
on the whole discouraging, and our tra-
veller may commence his journey without
the apprehension of any very serious or
distressing inconvenience. He who can
content himself with plain food and a good
bed, will find abundant compensation for
the absence of the supernumerary pleasures
