This shows very convincingly that they are amply supplied with mere necessaries; but it must be admitted at the same time, that they have not the same command over the conveniences and luxuries of life as their Swiss neighbours. We need not stay to inquire the causes of this comparative poverty, whether it proceed from Austrian misgovernment or from a want of the mountain pastures, which, in Switzerland, enable cattle to be kept at a trifling expense. We need only ascertain that it has no conne...xion with peasant proprietorship, and in order to be satisfied on that point we have only to cross the line which separates Upper or German from Lower or Italian Tyrol. ' The moment we leave Botzen and travel towards Trent, a new order of things is perceptible; the same noble-looking peasantry are no longer to be seen ; poverty begins to show itself, and the air of comfort about the dwellings, and independence about the in- mates, are no longer visible. All the land in Southern Tyrol belongs to great proprietors, and the peasantry have no longer an interest in the soil.
