Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

'il'he wine of Orvieto, being esteemed the best, is commonly to be found u on every good table in Rome. There ll a kindof rough red wine, but thisiis not relished by strangers, on account of an acid taste which it leaves behind; For the labour"'8 hand there is a kind of 'brandy drawn with aniseed, which may be had in the streets early in the morning and all day long. As the Romans are inferior to the French in cooking, the travellers of this nation in particular are fond of dining at the houses of the Milanese or French Restaurateurs, though the attendance is extremely tardy.
