Notes
This work is an extract of the Travels of Cosmo the Third, Grand Duke of Tuscany in 1669, published at London in 1821, with a memoir of Cosmo the Third's Life. While the name of the translator is not given;
he or she is referred to as 'distinguished pen'. [Crinò, p. xiii, reproduces a note saying the manuscript was 'translated into English and published by J. Mawman'.]We are very grateful to Dr C. J. Woods, author of 'Travellers' accounts as source material for Irish historians' (Dublin 2009) for calling our attention to this travel account.
