Excerpt from Marston a Novel, in Three Volumes, by a Lady Rosalia St. Clair, Vol. 1 of 3 During a journey in Italy, some years ago, my carriage was overturned at a short distance from Florence. Being seriously hurt, the postilions carried me to a large mansion, situated at a short distance from the road, and solicited the good offices of its inmates in behalf of an English lady. A young man soon appeared, who accosted me in my own language, and expressing his sorrow for my accident, received me with the kindest hospitality.
