The rest of this route you had better travel slowly & deliberately in an open Droskey i.e. Droshky . You cannot take too many cloaks & shawls - the waiters are generally slow & the Landlords for the most part greedy. The Beds as a general rule are clean tho' the sheets are often damp if the chambermaids be not well looked after - you may be always sure of good eggs & good milk. & the tea is better than the coffee -'. The text continues with more information concerning inns and food before turning to the weather the 'simple rule' regarding which is 'that if during breakfast the mists rise on the mountain side it will be a fair day if they fall a wet one. Put no confidence in Lowland prognostics even in the landlord respecting the weather . In short always suspect the sincerity of a highland Landlord in an inferior Inn in a well frequented road'. The document ends: 'Andersons is the best guide Book - it has a capital map & much curious information - legends &cc.' Without place or date. [ On paper watermarked 'R MUNN & Co | 1838'. ] unknown

Nevertheless he fears that nothing can be done regarding Ward's 'noble offer'. He presents in columns headed 'Yearly Income' and 'Yearly Expenditure' 'as correct a statement' as he can give: 'We have a good Chapel which will seat about five hundred persons two small houses a stable and a piece of ground let for building situated in the best part of the town.'

Prima edizione di questo noto scritto del grande patriota e scrittore messinese Giuseppe la Farina che si inserisce nelle opere di viaggio legate alla tradizione del Grand Tour.

Fondatore e redattore di numerosi giornali, fu autore di opere storiche e politiche (Studi sul secoloXIII; L’Italia dai tempi antichi fino ai nostri giorni), geografiche (L’Italia nei suoi monumenti; Messina e i suoi monumenti) e letterarie (Studi sopra alcuni canti della Divina Commedia).

Nel Veneto fronteggiò gli austriaci nel 1849 quale consigliere del re sabaudo. Emigrato dapprima in Francia, verso la fine del 1856 assieme a Daniele Manin e a Giorgio Pallavicino Trivulzio fondò la Società nazionale italiana, una associazione avente l’obiettivo di orientare l’opinione nazionale verso il Piemonte di Cavour. La Farina ebbe parte attiva alle annessioni del regno sabaudo e favorì la spedizione dei Mille in Sicilia. Eletto deputato al primo parlamento italiano, nello stesso 1860 fu nominato Consigliere di Stato, successivamente Ministro dell’istruzione, dei lavori pubblici dell’interno e della guerra.
