). ^^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. ' from which Lardner (Works, vol. Viii. Pp. 89- 90) reproduces the following... as to his Jewish experience. At the port of Faleria he went ashore. At the station he found the Gentile people celebrating the feast of Osiris. 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. Doubly unfortunately for him it happened, that he had to endure the discomforts which the Jewish Sabbath entailed. And what was still worse, his fare consisted of " mashed shrubs and beaten sea-weed, " — a most frugal one indeed.
