498 THE PRE-HISTORIC RACES OF ITALY. 



parts of Loinbardy Teutouic village uaines are numerous, aud Teutouic 

 names, of Gothic or Lombard origin, are common among the nobility. 

 Filiberto, Humberto, iiiul Garibaldi are genuine Teutonic names; so 

 also is that of the Italian seaman, Amerigo Vespucci, who bore the 

 Gothic and Lombardic name of Amaric, which he has given to the New 

 World. 



It is curious that America, the continent which has become the pat- 

 rimony shared nearly equally by the Teutonic and Latin races, should 

 itself bear a Teutonic name, whose Latinized form bears indisputable 

 witness to the Teutonic conquest of the oldest seat of the Latin race 

 in Italy.
