Rome in 1860

CHAPTER VI
4/10

Things are taken very easily here, and the _Giornale_ never appears till six o'clock at night, so that writers and printers can take their pleasure and be in bed betimes.

There is no issue on Sundays and Feast-days, which occur with delightful frequency.

This ideal journal, too, has no fixed price.

The case of any one being impatient enough about news to buy a single number seems hardly to be contemplated.

The yearly subscription is seven scudi, which comes to between a penny and five farthings a number; but for a single copy you are asked half a paul, or twopence halfpenny.
