We stopped at the next house, a picturesque old stone mill, over the Chipre, --for so the name sounded, --such as you will nowhere see in the States, and asked the millers the age of the mill. They went up stairs to call the master; but the crabbed old miser asked why we wanted to know, and would tell us only for some compensation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
