MEMOIRS Of the Haufe of Savoy, -with fomt account of the Court of Sardinia. ... p p THE sudden aggrandisement and fpe?dy decline of the house of Savoy, is ft problem only to those th endear'd, unacquainted with its history. The rocks of Mount Cenis proved as lucrative formerly to the Princes of .Piedmont, as the found I r does at present to. the Kings of Denmark. Du e renew , ring the long and bloody wars, between the houses I ' „ of Bourbon and Aaftria, this turnpike road into I flow, Italy was frequented by each of them, and a toil '' frown regularly levied on the favored army. Nay, if we 1 believe hiftory,.it was actually put up to au&ion, I ' n and let to the highcft bidder. 1 Little slates, as they possess no real phyficial I F , strength, provided they enter the vortex of Euro- " P ean intrigue, muftaccuftom themfeJves tea certain J 0 degree of political and their governors I nme, must frequently appear in the humiliating but nee Aired gaze, ceflary character of perpetaal'balance mailers. In " c " (liort, it is by a change of position alone that they J w can preserve their and prevent a sudden I subversion. tl If was owing to this policy, that the petty Counts oi of Maarienne became Dukes of* Savoy, and the I V ■nd ; Dukes of Savoy Kings of Sardinia. It is in con- [th i sequence of a departure from such a system, that m i, J newl y cr sated royalty has been recently shorn J ham ?
