There is an 8vo Edition of the G. D.'s Laws (I suppose
the general not temporary ones) from I know not
what Period, to I know not what other.. will you
believe me when I tell you that I rummaged all
the Capital Booksellers Shops for it at Florence —
without success? It is printed, forsooth, at Sienna
and might perhaps be got from thence, at some
uncertain time, perhaps in some weeks, perhaps in
some months; for as to any regular communication
between any Town and any other, in this small &
well roaded State, there is none; the same Observation
may be applied, (I was told by an Italian, may be applied to Italy
no, not even between Leghorn, the Port, of Florence
the Capital. English and Italians joyn in assuring
Me that there is not a Chaste married woman in
all Tuscany, you may venture to extend the Observation
to all Italy. Those who disapprove of the Suppression
of Prostitutes will naturally be disposed to attribute
the former Fact to the latter operation as it's Cause, but as
far as I can understand the supposed effect existed
long before.
