الصفحة 212 - To a mere student of nature, to an artist, to a man of pleasure, to any man that can be happy among people who seldom affect virtue, perhaps there is no residence in Europe so tempting as Naples and its environs. — What variety of attractions ! — a climate where heaven's breath smells sweet and wooingly— the most beautiful interchange of sea and land — wines, fruits, provisions, in their highest excellence — a vigorous and luxuriant nature, unparalleled in its productions and processes...
