BOLOGNA.
My chief business in this city was to see
and converse with the learned Padre
Martini, and the celebrated Signor Fari-
nelli, the former being regarded by all
Europe as the deepest theorist, and the
other as the greatest practical musician of
this, or perhaps of any age or country;
and, as I was so fortunate as to be well
received by both, I shall make no apo-
logy for being minute in my account of
two such extraordinary persons.
