Mr.Falkland met with some of these.

But his undaunted spirit and resolute temper gave him a decisive advantage even in such perilous rencounters.

One instance, among many, of his manner of conducting himself among this proud and high-spirited people it may be proper to relate.

Mr.Falkland is the principal agent in my history; and Mr.Falkland in the autumn and decay of his vigour, such as I found him, cannot be completely understood without a knowledge of his previous character, as it was in all the gloss of youth, yet unassailed by adversity, and unbroken in upon by anguish or remorse.
At Rome he was received with particular distinction at the house of marquis Pisani, who had an only daughter, the heir of his immense fortune, and the admiration of all the young nobility of that metropolis.

Lady Lucretia Pisani was tall, of a dignified form, and uncommonly beautiful.
