When in Italy we went to vifi: a
curiofuy not retorted by traveler , and
as our guides teld us, nor worth our fae.
ir.g. But as 1 have an old maxim, when
j I ana come a great way to fee things,
< always to fee them, ail, I would go,—
And this proved no final! continuation
to tne of the utility of the m xim ;
firce, bad it rot be n for that I bad
not faen this, which is, in my opinion, cue
of the molt stupendous feenes in the
world. We were told that there were
pvop'c, that lived on the top of the
mountain Solfatara, and got their bread
by making alum, and ftilphur. I hed
before faen the alum works of England
and (favita Vecchia } but having sr ver
seen r.y lulpner ones, I happily resol
ved to fee toefe We travelled for
many hours, and with great fatigue, up
thi mountain, over rocks of fu'phurand
ither tmttrals, ard in many placet with
out herb or tree for valt spaces, till at
length we arrived near the top. We
found this furmur.ded v ith deep and
wholly and inacccfiib'e hills of twenty
or thirty faet high, and with their fidvß
either as deep as a wall, or doping in.
wards, and their tejes hanging over.—
Our guides, who wts not acquainted
with the mountain, told us they were
sensible they had brought us to the
wrong place; but that there was one way
and only one, into the plain within
these hills, which was not Ly climbing
over them, but by a cut through them,
and,that we. Had nothjng to do but to
go round till we came to it. It hai*
p. ned, that this patfage was then w itn.
none hundred feet of us to the nght
nand ; but we. g - ing to the left, wtie
orced ‘o wa'k rcui.i the whole fun
