From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For a little light relief, in these troubled times, I thought it would be amusing to translate an Italian court manual dating from about 1908. It has lost its hardcover and frontispiece, is spoilt by damp, so I can't be sure, but it was published in Rome in 190_. I will try to resist the temptation to add multiple exclamation marks!!!!!
Times have obviously changed since my ancestors devoured this book for tips and advice - at least they have in Italia. I wonder if they have on Wikipedia?
