No one expects to get an honest service of them. For that reason some good people warned me to be on my guard against them. They told me that they cheat both man and beast, and that you could buy better things for less money at Frankfort than at Venice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
