THE JUNIAN LATINS.
December 28, 1884.
This afternoon I paid M.Flamaran a visit.

I had been thinking about it for the last week, as I wanted him to help my Junian Latins out of a mess.

I am acquiring a passion for that interesting class of freedmen.
And really it is only natural.

These Junian Latins were poor slaves, whose liberation was not recognized by the strict and ancient laws of Rome, because their masters chose to liberate them otherwise than by 'vindicta, census, or testamentum'.
