Turning to the work of the excellent Canon Torrotti, published in 1686, I find he writes as follows:- "Oh, what fannings is there not here," he exclaims, "of the assiduous Zephyrs; what warmth in winter, what Gelidness of the air in summer; and what freaks are there not of Nature by way of caves, grottoes, and delicious chambers hewn by her own hand.
