Nice is called, in Italian, _Nizza maritima_, to distinguish it from other towns of the same name: [Greek: nichê], _victory_, was a name of good augury for a city. Massena, the "enfant gaté de la victoire," was born at Nice: I saw the house and shop in which he employed his youth in the useful art of making and retailing vermicelli. FOOTNOTES: [94] What does that signify? [95] But there, in the street opposite, near the port, there is one: it will cost you a sous; but, if you remain here for any length of time, you may subscribe. [96] "I wish you a deal of riches."--"His lordship wishes you what you do not wish for yourself."--"Ah! no." THE END. _Printed by A. J.

THE HISTORY OF THE COMMONWEALTH of ENGLAND: from the Commencement of the Civil War, to the Restoration of CHARLES THE SECOND. By William Godwin. Volume the Second, 8vo. ***There is no part of the history of this island which has been so inadequately treated, as the characters and acts of those leaders, who had, for the most part, the direction of the public affairs of England, from 1640 to 1660. The men who figured during the interregnum were, immediately after the Restoration, spoken of with horror, and their memoirs were composed after the manner of the Newgate Calendar. What was begun from party rage, has been continued from indolence. No research has been exercised, no public measures have been traced to their right authors; even the succession of Judges, Public Officers, and Statesmen, has been left in impenetrable confusion. It is the object of the present Work to remedy this defect, and to review the transactions of that period with the same calmness, impartiality, and inflexible justice, as if they had preceded the Universal Deluge, or had taken place in one of the remotest islands of the South Sea. 2.
