THE SUN REVIEW: (co. Vtlt.) A VOYAGE to the ISLE of ELBA, with Notices of the other Islands in the Tyrrhenian Sca. Ttat ',laird from the French of Anst:NxE TuIIIIWCT m r,F.II NE.tep, Emeritus Secretary of the Class of Literature, Ilis tory, and Antiquities, of the Italian Acat:einy, &c. Pub lished by LONGMAN, HURST, .BEES, 0101E 2 and BROWN, Fp; 163, price 7s. This volume, one of the earliest fruits of our renewed intercourse with France, has appeared very opportunely, to afford us some information respecting a spot rendered so peculiarly interest itig-,• at This moment, and of which so. little is known It is accompanied by an excellent map, prphatty the only one extant, which furnishes, -from Actual survey and ob9ervation, a correct idea of the iiew Empire of the Emperor .1?oz. A De dication ro CHARLES LONG informsus, that, in the Transistor's opinion,,Elha might have slum bered among the onnotedislets of the ocean, had it 'not been for the political tenets of the School of PITT, and the firm and persevering adherence of the country to this Right - Hon. Gentleman, and such of his frknds at the bead of affairs as main tained these doctrines, and rallied round them the Sense and spirit of Grer,t tritain, against an over weening and presumptuous combination, pre tending to the possession of all the talents in the empire. • Aa intrnduction of M. rrg BERNEAUD'S deve lopes the character of the ,Writer, his theoretic opinions,. the nature of his travels from 1801 to so.late a period as 1807, and the objects he had in view in visiting 14:11iA. The work consists of fite chapters, subdivided into sections, of which the following is an ana• lysis :—Chap. I. A general View . of the Island, its geographical Situation, Names, and their Ety mology.—Chap 11. POpniation, Natural History,. Agriculture, Industry, and, including. the Man- , hers of the People, their possessions in Mines, Botanical Productions, Animals. ComMerce, &c: &c Hr. Political History, Ancient end Modern.---Chap. IV. Geology, as deduced from a consideration of the physical Constitution, Mountains, Climate, and Waters of the Island.— Ch i ip. V. Torography, with Notices of the chief Vlaces, such as Porto Feriajo, Rio, Porto LlM gane, Capo Luciri, Campo, St. Ilario, San Pietro, Marciana, Poggio, &c. ; and, lastly, General Re flections, together with very brief Sketches of the adjacent Isles of Pianosa, Monte Cristo, Giglio, Sardinia, Corsica, Capraja, and Gorgona. . Of these matters it will, occur.to our Readers, that, though the philosophical portion of this work may be most acceptable to men 'of science and not • devoid' of entertainment to any class, the most amusing part must be that which treats of the population of Elba, their customs, mode of life, disposition, and whole natural history. So• it is, and _from the second chapter, replete with intelligence of this description, we :select the fol lowing . passages, as specimens of the style in which this Voyage is written and translated " The Isle of Elba was peopled long before the ttse of that iron which it furnishes sb abundantly . was known : before Rome was built*. The Etruscans were its first occupants. Its popula tion must have been very considerable, as we know from Virgil that it contributed three hun dred chosen soldiers to Encas in his wars with Turnus Itaiicus also informs us, that after the unfortunate day of Trabia, it sent (the same number with Sicily) three thousand excel lent archers, armed and equipped, and a vast quan tity of arms, to the Roman Consuls I. " In 1778; the Isle of Elba contained scarcely eight thousand inhabitants: At present (1808) the number amounts to nearly twelve thousand. From a Comparative calculation of the births and deaths, it appears,- on an average estimate, that the births are equal to one in twelve, and the deaths to one in twenty-three. " The character of islanders is always marked with some original trails.,. The peculiarities of the.Elhoise, of which I am about to treat, have strongly interested me. _ _ " Remarkably attached to their native soil, the inhabitants of the Isle of Elba love labour ; and in the hour of common danger they aye all sol diers. Like the early Romans, we observe them with equal pleasure and eagerness pass from the cultivation of the earth to the toils of the camp. Oftner than once they have been seen repulsing the hordes of barbarians who sought to invade their country,- or reap their harvests. Pianosa, whence they procure a large quantity of grain, is still red with the blood of Turks slain by them in defence of their. rights. They have, indeed, been sometimes overcome, but their despair and bold ness have rescued them from the horrors of a long and oppressive slaveyy, . . _ . "1 1;e I , ..lboise are, in general, good and . hospita ble, and bear no resemblance to the PiICiICCATiS (that slmiderous people, of whom the wise.Nau sicaa speaks to the subtle Ulysses) §; . but, like all weak nations they are flatterers. .• They are of ari , ordinary height and well made, robust, and of an excellent constitutinrr; they are born seamen, are passionately found of the chase, and "of all manly exercises. Their hair is generally black, their complexion brown, and their looks lively and penetrating. The active and frugal life to which they are accustomed con tributes to render them hardy, ardent, and brave, and to preserve their health. Although eduCation, which always exercises a direct and material influence upon the habits of life, and upon the happiness or misery of rnanL kind, is much neglected in theJsle of Elbe; al though perpetual revolutions and violent commo tions, AV kid! have so often struck at the root of the security and prope rty o f t h e peop l e, have im- " I found this assertion on a precios►s memorial discover ed i n, the b oso m of the earth in the. Isle of Elba. It is the point of a lance nettle of t► siliceous stone or petrOilex. I, SaW it in the cabille of my karned friend Gio Fahbroni at Flo rence. This motitunent of the highest antiquity reeuis to me mory th at p i ece o f, it stone anchor which is said to have been left by Jason in the city of Ea, and which the inhabitant s pre served to the tints of Arrian. t x. v. 173, • "Dc Bello Punic°, riii. r. 612. " parted to their character a singular degree .of as perity, the''Elboise do not inherit 'that spirit of hatred , and reven.e which is the distingnishing feattne of 4onle other nations. 'lacy have neither the ferticitY of tht glootuy Sardiniat!, nor-of the fiery Sicilian.: I have Inn discovered among. them either the cunning s the laziness, or the listless ness so_ natural to a southern pet , ple. They are extremely irritable, and impatient of contradic tion ; more addicted to superstition than to fana ticism, and almost universally ignorant and cre dulous. They are nevertheless endowed with a certain sprightliness of imagination, ‘th;ch ren ders. them capable of receiving the strongest im pressions ; thence proceeds their excessive pre dilection for. extravagant and romantic tales, for all that belongs to the marvellous, or is connect-, ed with quackery and deception. They are un acquainted. with the monstrous luxury of cities. A hat of black straw, _a white boddice, a short petticoat of red or blue; is the whole attire of the • women. A flower, ribbons, a huge ring, large ear-rings, a gold chain : (of which the pre cious metal is lost in alloy) : these are the - objects of a fethale coquetry, which is not destitute of charms., . . " In Elba, the vital current is of pure quality. The old men are not decrepid.. I have known many of them who had reached their ninety-fifth year without experiencing the slightest ailment'. The women . are.not iu general beautiful; 1 have, ' however, met with pretty girls in the western mountains, and at Rio. They press their swain , ' bosoms ruder enormous husks laced tight with • ribbons. This troublesome custom, at once absto and barbarous, is among them the cause of a fore ed and disagreeable proatinency in front, and int parts an unpleasant stillness to their arms and motions. They arc excessively jealous; and Pos sessed of a high deice Of sensibility. At the age of thirteen.or fourteen they are marriageable.; but when they arrive at thirty, they qnieldy become old, and exhibit at thisage many sympxoms of having reached a l,tratore advanced period of life. They are good muthers,.entirely devoted to their families, s punctual and faithful in the discharge of all their duties. . “. The food of the inhabitants consists of dried, pulse, cheese made from the milk of ewes, of which the smell and taste resemble had grease, good bacon of a light quality, salted and smoaked provisions, coarse brad, fresh fish, of which the. tunny is the • chief, and a very lcw vpgetables. The salted cheese of Sardinia is an article of great consumption. They, also eat an immense quan tity of chesnuts, the crop of which is gathered to wards the end of October. After they have been dried by the fire till their double rind peels off, they are ground in the corn mill, •with the upper grindstone raised to accommodate their bulk.— The flour produced is not mixed with bran ; it is soft, saccharine, and ofd yellowish grey colour, which approaches nearer to white in proportion as the chessnuts have been carefully picked and dried with attention. This flour combines ai:tl hardens when squeezed together. In order to preserve it, it is necessary to shut it up iii t (irk place, to compress it- Avith considerable tore, and to cover it over to the depth of two or three inches with ashes or sand., Thq Elboise, make from it pollenta and pastry, .far superior to any which can be manufactured from maize. " The strictest economy prevails in their use of food. It is only upon holidays that fresh meat, and a white wine, rendered excellent by theta most care in making, arc perMitted to he placed upon their tables. On ordinary clays, they break fast upon pollenta ; towards noon. they eat bread and beans, lentils, or some other 'species of pulse boiled and seasoned with oil ; and in the evening their repast is soup, and sometimes salt fish, or suet' as the sea yields. " Their houses are low : the interior arranged with neatness, and the furniture simple, bat solid. " All their kitchen utensils are of baked earth, which they- import from Naples , and Tuscany. Their beds are remarkable for their size ;• three, four, • and often six persons sleep upon them to. gether. - One is frequently held to be sufficient for a whole family. The use of these beds, so com mon in Italy, may be traced to the sera of the.bril liant age of chivalry. In the 17th century, their counterparts were to be seen in France and Ger.: many, • _ . • "The inhabitants of the towns, as is usually the case, bestow more regard upon their tables and . habitations. They enjoy the most excellent bread, meats and fish, vegetables and fruit, the chief part of which they procure at a heavy ex pence from the continent. • " At Elba, the pleasures and diversions of the people are not of the livelieit description. Danc ing is the favourite amusement of the young, hut it wants that expression of sentiment, that viva city of movemept, and that variety of attitude, which - are' So - enchanting in the countries Of Rome, Naples, Tarentum, rouille, and Calabria. Even in the time, of harvest there is little gaiety.; the - coriyis threshed out under a burning sun, and in the evening we do not hear, as in the plains of Tuscany, the violin or the mandoline announce that the toils of the day are at an end—that every heart is happy ; the 'pleasures of the table do not here cause the neighbourhood to resound with the joyous Shouts of the labourer. The period of the vintage is the carnival of the cultivators of the - vine. Mirth is then most obstreperous, and while the grapes are gathered, echo is taught to repeat the loud notes of musical instruments. "The amasementsof the Elboise are few in num ber, and little diversified. The principal are races, the game of 'bowls, ninepins, quoits, and a kind of tennis, in which they employ the band, and sometimes the wrist, armed with a sort of wooden bat, cut into the shape of a pine apple, • '' Among the. young men, as among' the Greeks and Liparots, it is a disgrace. not to be able to row and navigate a bark. They also attach a high estimation to being the best marksmen at a butt. " The diversions of the women, principally engaged in the cares of housewifely, and in at tendance to the cattle, are more monotonous and quiet. " Licentiousness is at all times an indelible stain upon the female character. Although garri sons-have introduced it into the towns, and it has thence spread into th© interior of the Island, the corruption consequent therenpon is not ..hy any means equal to that which prevails in Italy. , The language of the . countly is a Pat :s, of which the radical words are in the Tuscan' dia . " legit it is of easy.pronunciation, and far from diSagreeable. The amusement id which the people take the greatest delight, is that Of the Ipmpro visatore;lir recitations in verse Upon a given sub ject; on their days of festivity, and in their ta verns. As at Florence, Rome ; and.- Vaples, have. recognised in these songs entire pieces from Tasso, Ariosto, and Metastasio, which the Im provisatore has adroitly adapted to his own subject. The colonies Which .repeopled the Isle of Elba, after the devastations of Barbarossa and Dragutt, came from Naples and Tuscany : owing to this ; it is by no means uncominon to find in particular . families the habits of the metropolis, and in the midst of gentlen e s s , ease., and natural feeling, we encounter the studied politeness and gravity of the Tuscans, the. gross, niannep and the ungracious behaviour of the, Neapolitans, and the vices which spring from selfishness, whether allied to love, ambition, wealth, or • passion: " The practice of carrying stilletoes, and of employing them upon the most trivial quarrels, a practice so common among the Genoese and no - - mans, does not exist in the Isle of Elba. , - I also been assured, that the indigenous inhabit ants held' it in abhorrence ; and that there has not occurred a single assassination of this sort, within the memory of rnatL .. . " Robbery is very uncommon ; murder still "more rare. The number of paupers is very inconsider able.' active inclination to love and succour their fellow-creatures influences the Elboise' to diminish, without relaxation, the number of the (To be continued.)
