The entry of xi s. paid to "pytt " for the surgeon's "boord " is rather perplexing. Does this mean the surgeon's "wurste '"' or keeping or does it refer to an operating table ?

ARTHUR T. WINN.

AN ITALIAN LITERARY REPUBLIC IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY:

LUDOVICO ANTONIO MUBATORI.

IN previous articles attention has been drawn to the peculiar activity of the early Settecento in literary criticism and espe- cially in the theory of poetry. But the eighteenth-century critics were not content with mere enunciation of theory, they desired to see it actually realized if not in creative at least in instructive work. The consequence was that while poetry lan- guished through lack of a sympathetic atmosphere and through exhaustion of the old forms, old subjects, old impulses, the critics themselves, ever keen to notice such langour in creative literature, set out to create an atmosphere, an. ambiente. We might see in this one of the prime motives for the creation of the Arcadia. The salons of France were undoubtedly of importance in this gathering of brilliant churchmen at Rome under the patronage of Queen Chris- tina of Sweden. But one can find no trace of direct imitation, and in the early eigh- teenth century the power of the French salons had declined, before coming again into greater brilliancy at the end of the century. The creation of the Arcadia could only be termed at best a modification of existing academies, like the Accademia della Crusca, in a more generous, more definitely literary direction. As a school of poets or dramatists it had no value and, with the possible exception of Alessandro Guidi, produced no writer of original power.

To realize a more genuine literary academy Muratori outlined a scheme in a small book published in Naples in 1703, ' I Primi Disegni della Repubblica Letteraria '
