(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The purpose with which this book has been written is explained in the motto upon the titlepage. I have attempted to describe that vast conflpiracy of things and men, of passions and prejudices, of history and po Utics, which impair the security of the Neapolitan provinces and the forces of I taly. Though they are not so divided, these volumes consist of three parts. The First, consisting of five chapters, gives a rapid review of the historj of brigandage from the earliest times down to the year 1860. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Educated Rock River Seminary, Mount Morris, Illinois. (Master of Arts, 1858; Doctor of Divinity, 1867, Cornell. Doctor of Laws, Northwestern University, 1881).
Active in politics, he was a fierce advocate of public education, which was then a core part of the Republican party platform. In the 1850s, he taught at Cornell College in Iowa and Shimer College in Illinois. He later taught at Northwestern University, where he served as interim president from 1868 to 1869.
He subsequently became president of Allegheny College, serving from 1883 to 1888 and again from 1890 to 1893.
In addition to his educational and political work, he was known for his writings on Italian history, including Brigandage in South Italy. He entered the Rock River Seminary in 1848, completing his studies in 1851.
Wheeler first joined the staff of Cornell College in 1853, as an instructor in Greek. Because of his wife"s connections to Mount Carroll, Illinois, Wheeler early joined the faculty of the Mount Carroll Seminary (which later became Shimer College).
He is listed in the school"s first and second catalogs, issued in 1855 and 1856, as a professor of elocution.
He also served for a time as editor of the town newspaper, the Carroll County Republican, and was active in working for educational reform and the formation of a union school in the community. Wheeler returned to Cornell in 1857, and continued to teach there until receiving the ambassadorship to Italy in 1861. He received an honorary Master of Arts from Cornell in 1858, which was later followed by an honorary doctor of divinity in 1867.
Wheeler obtained the Italian ambassadorship due to his effective service to the 1860 presidential campaign of Abraham Lincoln.
In Italy, he published a two-volume study of Italian brigandage and a translation of The Conspiracy of Gianluigi Fieschi. Foreign a time after leaving the ambassadorship, he served as a foreign correspondent for the Chicago Tribune and New York Tribune.
Wheeler obtained his first taste of administrative grandeur when he assumed the presidency of Northwestern University on an interim basis in 1868. He stepped down from the post in 1869, but continued at Northwestern as a professor until 1875.
From 1875 to 1883 he worked as editor of The Methodist magazine.
From 1883 to 1888, and again from 1890 to 1893, Wheeler served as president of Allegheny College in Pennsylvania. There he saw the college through a difficult period of internal dissension, and oversaw administrative and curricular changes that included the start of postgraduate education at Allegheny. Exhaustion compelled him to retire in 1893.
Wheeler died of apoplexy at his home in Meadville, Pennsylvania in 1902.
