[[Turin]]

In this Country I ~~was~~ could not
but take notice of the tumidium
Guttur Alpinum w'ch [which] [[Horace]] mentions -
It is said to be a Disease arising
amongst ~~from the~~ poor people from their
drinking Snow Water - It is a sad
sight when got to any considerable
Degree - Some I saw who had
a swelling on their Throats & Necks
as large as their Heads, projecting forw'd [forward] -
& some hanging down an enormous weight
or rising up so as entirely to cover
one Side of their face, a most shocking
Sight -

About two leagues before we
reached [[Turin]], on the Summit of a
high Mountain is seen the Sepulcre
of the late King of [[Sardinia]] - It had
a magnificient appearance, looks like
a stately convent with a fine Portico
& loftty Dome - The Ascent seems to be
gradualy from [[Turin]] along a ridge w'ch [which]
by slow degrees seems to reach this Summit
