By assuming the medical character, he secured a good reception at several of the provincial towns, and protection from the governors, as far as their authority extend ed; but the banditti which at that period infested every part of the country, obliged him always to travel in haste, and often in the night; and he was not qualified to de rive as much advantage fromjourneys made under such circumstances as a more expe rienced and more enlightened traveller might have done. He was generally care ful in noting the time employed in each stage; but the names of places are often disfigured by his careless mode of writing.
