MONACO (French Monegue), the smallest of the sove reign principalities of Europe, with an area of 8 34 square miles, a population (1878) of 7049, and an army of 72 men, is situated on the coast of the Mediterranean, 9 miles east of Nice, and bounded on all sides by the French department of the Maritime Alps. Previous to 1861, when the communes of Mentone (Menton) and Roccabruna (Roquebrun) were sold to France for 4,000,000 francs, the area was about a third larger ; but the population, which with those portions again included would now be 15,000, was only about 8000. Monaco has long had the reputa tion of being one of the most beautiful and sheltered spots on all the Franco-Italian coast : non Corns in ilium Jus habet aut Zepliyrus ; soltts sua littora turbat Circius, said Lucan ; and a luxuriant growth of aloes and prickly pears (introduced in 1537), palm-trees, eucalyptus, lemon- trees, and geraniums gives a warmer colour to the scene than Lucan can have known. The town occupies the level summit of a rocky headland, rising about 195 feet from the shore, and still surrounded with ramparts. Though largely modernized, the palace is a fine specimen of Re naissance architecture; the new "cathedral" (French Re naissance style), the new church of St Charles, and the museum may also be mentioned. Behind the rock, between Mont Tete de Chien and Mont de la Justice, the high grounds rise towards Turbie, the village on the hill which takes its name from the tropsea with which Augustus marked the boundary between Gaul and Italy. On the eastern side lies the little port or bay of Monaco ; along the lower ground at the head of the bay stretches the vil lage of Condamine with orange-gardens, manufactures of perfumes and liqueurs, and the chapel of Ste Devote, the patron saint of Monaco ; farther to the east, on the rocky slopes of the Spelugues (Speluncae) are grouped the various buildings of the Casino of Monte Carlo and the numerous villas and hotels which it has called into existence. Previous to 1828 the Spelugues were mere barren rocks; but after Reference 1 Prt/rt/V MoTULOO 2 Cathedral 5 Bath* 4 OtapeOe de S"DeroU b CCLSUW - Montt Caria 6 Jlottl dt Parit MONACO* MEDITERRANEAN SEA Plan of Monaco. they were traversed by the new road to Mentone, Count Rey caused them to be covered with soil by Italian convicts ; and since 1858, when the first stone of the Casino was
laid, the process of artificial embellishment has been carried
