_Mount Etna._ Printed notice found attached to the wall of one of the rooms
in the Casa degl' Inglesi, Mount Etna, October, 1844:
"In consequence of the damage suffered in the house called English set
on the Etna for the reprehensible conduct of some persons there
recovered, the following provisional regulations are prescribed,
authorized, and granted to M. Gemmellaro[1], who has the key of the
mentioned house for his labour, honour, and money spent to finish such
edifice, besides his kind reception for travellers curious to visit the
mountain.
I. Any person desirous to get the key of the house is requested to
apply to M.G., and in case of his absence, to ... signing his name,
title, and country, in the same time tell the guide's and muleteer's
name, just to drive away those have been so rough to spoil the
moveables and destroy the stables ... are the men to be particularly
remarked.
II. Nobody is admitted without a certificate of M.G., which will assure
to have received his name, &c. &c., except those are known by the
fore-going strangers.
III. According to the afore-mentioned articles, nobody will take the
liberty to go in the house and force the lock of the door: he will
really suffer the most severe punishment fixed against violence.
