For there he furrowed the lofty mountains with roads, in skilful contrivance equal, in greatness scarcely inferior to that of Mount Cenis. There he improved and adorned the harbour with fine quays, and light-houses of beautiful construction, created fisheries, and advanced agri culture. There he quelled feudal oppression, reformed the law courts, upheld justice, and honestly gained the affection of the labouring people by unceasing exertions, always evinc ing that benignity of purpose which renders the labours of peace glorious.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
