Excerpt from Diary and Notes of Horace Templeton, Late Secretary of Legation, 1848

Here am I, at the Hotel des Princes, en route for Italy, whither my doctors have sentenced me! What a sad record would be preserved to the world if travellers were but to fill up, with good faith, the police formula at each stage of the journey, which asks, the object of the tour! How terribly often should we read the two short words To die. With what sorrowful interest would one gaze at the letters formed by a. Trembling hand and yet how many would have to write them I Truly the old Italian adage, Vedere Napoli 3 poi morire, has gained a new signification and, unhappily, a far more real one.
