^^The reader will we hope not deem it amiss if we insert in this place some sentiments on the Sabbath, the Jewish customs in general, and the Jews as a nation, so very con- genial to those of Seneca, though they were uttered several centuries later. Rutilius, a high-bred Roman of the fifth century, originally coming from Gaul, who made a voyage to his native country in the year 418, has left behind an ' Itinerarium.

Ill luck threw him on the mercy of a Jew who had farmed the revenues of the port, and was at the same time keeping an inn or hotel. In it he stopped.
