prosperity which has attended their enterprises. And never
more inustrious than to-day, this family, having its origin in
the mists Of antiquity, early in the 18th century, were taking
a prominent part in the affairs Of the 4" Holy Roman Empire
and from the l4th century have steadily made advance in ter
ritorial and political influence.

never been more brilliant or more fortunate than now. His

ton OF his father in Isi9, has gathered around him the most
ilustrious statesmen and the most glorious -warriors-CayOur
and Garibaldi. To mention their names is sufficient, without
comment. Under this reign, conflicting interests have been 50
far reconciled as to make a United Kingdom Of the Italian Pc
ninsuIa, and the ancient mistress Of the world is, once more,
