He hated bad men; and it was besides necessary for him to denounce somebody, and get relief of some kind. Italians edged away from him. He was beginning to feel that he had no country. The detested title 'Young Italy' hurried him into fits of wrath. 'I am, ' he said, 'one of the Old Italians, if a distinction is to be made.'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
