The Hungarian, Gustavo Frigyesi, who for a long
time served in Garibaldi's volunteers, has, besides writing
a political and military history of Italy in 1867, found lei-
sure to translate the book of Jules Barni, of Geneva into
Italian, under the title " I Martini del Libero Pensiero."
There is a great demand for this kind of literature just
now in Italy, while the clergy of Rome are taking such
decisive steps in the opposite direction. Barni has chosen
his heroes from all times, beginning with Grecian idolatry
and ending with contemporary Cmsarism.
