The baths of Aix are very celebrated, and the town is much visited by

valetudinarians: they are chiefly recommended in scorbutic humours,

colds, rheumatisms, palsies, and consumptions. The waters are warm, and

have in fact no taste but that of warm water.

Upon the whole, Aix is most delightfully situated, and the environs are

beyond conception rural and beautiful. They are a succession of

vineyards relieved by groves, meadows and fields. I did not leave them

without regret. The carriage drove slowly, but even under these

circumstances we repeatedly stopt it.

We reached Marseilles without further occurrence; and as a ship was

ready there, after two or three days spent in the company of my friends,

who very kindly refused to leave me, I took my departure, and left a

kingdom which I have since never ceased to think.

THE END.
