They shewed us in it their deep Well for fresh water in the midst of a high rock; their excellent pieces of Artillery, one of which is said to carry four miles, that is, to Fort Burreau a little Fort belonging to France, which is two leagues from hence, and which you see from this Castle.

From Montmelian we had rough way to Aiguebelle; thence to S. John Morian, to S. Michel, and at last to Lasnebourg, which stands at the foot of Mount Cenis, the highest of all the hills I passed over in my several voyages into Italy, or out of it; to wit, Sampion, Berlin, Splug, and S. Godarde.

This Hill of Mount Cenis parting Savoy and Italy, shall be the place where I will now begin my Description of Italy, having hitherto onely described the several wayes into it.
