Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Subalpine Kingdom, Vol. 2 of 2: Or Experiences and Studies in Savoy, Piedmont, and Genoa
IF you converse in Piedmont with any advocates of the old order of things, you are sure to be informed that the moral character of the humbler classes has marvellously deteriorated of late. According to them, the simplicity of the population, urban and rural, exactly eight years ago, was something Arcadian. Now, they aver, all are corrupt. Respect for religion has disappeared, and with it respect for morality. The natural affections are daily trampled on. Crime and murder stalk through the land.
