Excerpt from Advance Australia: An Account of Eight Years' Work, Wandering, and Amusement in Queensland, New South Wales, and VictoriaThree days after leaving Marseilles we got to Naples. I had been there before, but as I never can be twenty minutes in a steamer without wanting to get out, of course I went ashore. There was nothing fresh to be seen, and certainly nothing fresh to be smelt. In appearance the whole place resembles a very inferior chromo-lithograph and I cannot help thinking that the saying, Vede Napoli 6 poi Mari, has more reference to the asphyxiating nature of its smells than to any over powering beauty about the place.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
