ABSTRACT
Signore Palaggi, one of the most eminent artists of Lombardy, has just finished for him a fine picture from the history of Milan. The M. Malaspina de Salazar adds to his noble birth, the character of one of the most learned antiquaries of Lombardy; and his admirable Guida di Pavia, notwithstanding its modest title, embraces much deep erudition concerning the history and antiquity of his Country. There deep glens and groves enclose antique monuments and classic inscriptions: an undulating park commands the plains of Lombardy, while the Alps, rising at intervals above the horizon, terminate and adorn the various and ever-changing landscape. The culture of the silk-worm is very general in Lombardy, and is amongst the most lucrative branches of agricultural industry. The order was signed by the Grand Duke, and countersigned by the Governor of Milan: and it was dispatched the night before our visit to the Chapter of Monza.
