After visiting the Lake, we reached Rome on the 9th, about one o'clock, passing, on the approach to our inn, the Coliseum, the Forum, the Columns of Trajan and Antoninus, and other interesting objects, impressed upon our minds from the earliest period of our youth; and the sight of which, even in more sober age, made my heart beat with enthusiasm.
