_Serius, where situated?_--In requesting the information upon a point in
geography with which this note concludes, I shall not, I trust, incur
censure for introducing it by quoting a few of the lines in which the
poet Vida conveys to parents his advice upon the choice of a master for
their sons:
"Interea moniti vos hic audite, parentes,
Quærendus rector de millibus, eque legendus,
Sicubi Musarum studiis insignis et arte,
Qui curas dulces, carique parentis amorem
Induat, atque velit blandum perferre laborem.
* * * * *
Ille autem, pueri cui credita cura colendi,
Artibus egregiis, in primis optet amari,
Atque odium cari super omnia vitet alumni."
