4. One critical Englishman in particular found the French "wines in good quantity, but without any flavor, and most of them tart and crabbed; provisions of no kind excellent, their poultrey lean, little or no fish, scarce any beef, mutton, nor veal that's good."

3. Ibid., p. 46. Coryate, Crudities, i, 58, 59, had already complained of the cimices in Italian beds. Cf. also Ray's Travels, in Harris's Collection of Voyages and Travels, ii, 688.
4. Manners and Customs of Italy, i, 25. The Italians appear, indeed, to have been exceptionally hospitable to strangers. "An Italian nobleman, hearing an Englishman complain of the accommodation at country inns, expressed his surprise that he frequented such places, and observed, that with a few recommendatory letters he might traverse Italy from one extremity to the other, without being once under the necessity of entering an inn."Eustace, Classical Tour in Italy, iii, 153.

2. New Voyage to Italy, i2, 585. Cf. also Duclos, Voyage en Italie, Œuvres Completes, ix, 167, 168. Duclos says that the inn at Viareggio was the only one in Italy, outside the cities, where his party found a good supper and clean beds.
