In 1829 Guerrazzi was asso- ciated with Mazzini and Bini in the establish- ment of the Indicator Lirornese, a short-lived liberal organ. A little later came his Elogio di Cosimo del Fante, and as a result of the liberal opinions enunciated in this treatise he was sent to Montepulciano. There he wrote La serpicina, a little essay delightful in style, intended to prove the paradox that man is in every way inferior to the brutes. He was imprisoned in 1831, and again in 1834, when he was taken to Portoferraio. At this place he employed his time in writing his Assedio di Firen.7e, an historical novel, replete with patriotic fervor, which was published at Paris in 1S30, and was a favorite with the young- er generation during the events prior to 1848. In January of this last year he was again incar- cerated for a few months. On the eve of the definite breach between the people and the Grand Duke of Tuscany, in 1849, Gueri-azzi was induced to accept ofiice in the Jlinistry. On the flight of the Grand Duke he was proclaimed member of the Provisional Government, and subsequently Dictator. During this crisis of the State he pre- served the strict autonomy of Tuscany until the return of the grand ducal rule, when he was im- mediately seized and imprisoned on the ground of having neglected due measures of repression when the revolution first gathered strength dur- ing his Ministry. His defense, entitled Apologia dclUi vita politico di F. D. Guerra!:zi, published at Florence (1852), is a masterjiiece. After an im])risonnient of three years, he was condemned to the' galleys, but was subsequently permitted to select Corsica as the refuge of his perpetual banishment. Restored to liberty and acticm by later events. Guerrazzi sat in tlic Parliament of Turin in 1862 and 1805. Guerrazzi's vocabulary
