Vesuvius is about nine miles from Naples, and six miles from Pompeii.^ Its height is 4400 feet.
During my stay I made many delightful excursions to places that history or poetry had consecrated. Not the least interest- ing was a visit to the subterranean regions immortalised by the genius of Virgil, and which he described as the realms of Pluto.
I found from the easy manner that we made our way thither that there was no exaggeration in his familiar lines, ' Facilis descensus Averni : Sed revoca...re gradum, superasque evadere ad auras, Hoc opus, hie labor est.' I am bound, however, to declare, in the face of Virgil's strophes, that we got back as comfortably as we descended to Italy. 1 7 1 the Stygian lake. In the figurative sense, beyond doubt the great poet is fully borne out by all experience that it is easier to descend into folly than to retrace our steps.
