    of ^ he world , and can command Fortunatus-s wishir ^ ca , p to . transfer me hither in an instant , I will come and live at AmalfL" But my reaoliatien was altered before the day was spent , for I found something still more to npy taste . On landing at Scaricatojo , we climbed up , by a most romantic path , to the top of a ridge of hi Us , whence , if the day had not been hazy , we should have enjoyed a magnificent view of the two Gulfe of Naples and Salerno . Thence we descended into the celebrated plain of Sorrento , where

    we wound about through more labyrinths than were constructed by Daedalus , ia the midst of gardens , the galdea fruits of which almost templed ua to pluck them as they hung over our heads . This most delightful plain , three miles in length , is completely occupied by vineyards and orchards , and is a very favourite residence during the summer season , not only from the abundance of excellent fruit which it produces , but from its coolness . As viewed from the sea , the coast on which it is situated , and still more thai of Viqo a tittle

    to the north , have the most enchanting appearance imaginable . We saw them i ® all their beauty as we sailed from Sorrento to Gastello a Mare . The hold wall of rock which rose above us , was worn , by art or nature into a number of picturesque caves at its base , and was crowned above by a thick succession of orchards and plantations , which were interspersed with churches and villas , and shut in by a fine ridge of hills at the back . The day , too ,

    was as lovely as the scenery , and the 4 e " ciQUS breeze played gently around us , as if to add the last inducement to make us stay . 1 was much inclined to remain , but our carriage was waiting for us at da $ place appointed ; ( the money which we had brought with us * wa $ nearly " exhausted , and my companion was to sail for Sicily the next morning , so that we were under the necessity of returning to Naples , where we arrived late in the evening .
