Metternich's Error

The royal Italian embassy says
the phrase, "Italy, geographical
expression" is attributed to Prince
Metternich, who probably meant
that Italy was not a historical
unity, but only geographical one.
After the constitution of the king
dom of Italy the phrase was often
recalled to demonstrate how short
and wrong were the views of the
famous Austrian statesman.

Getting Things Straight

The sentence: "All men are born
tree and equal" Is a quotation from
the constitution of Massachusetts
which was framed in 1779. The
complete sentence says: "All men
are born free and equal, and have
certain natural, essential and un.
alienable rights" Many people
enormously suppose the phrase
born free and equal" occurs in
the Declaration Of Independence
That document says "all men are
created equal. l."-Exchange.
