LIST OF INDIGENOUS PLANTS FOUND NEAR HAMILTON. 



[1854- 



Tiber, gave rise to the tradition mentioned by Justin Martyr, 

 (Apol. L, 26) that Simon Magus was worshipped as a god at 

 Rome, and that a statue in his honor had been erected by Clau- 

 dius Caesar. 



This family of nations inhabited the districts known by the 

 names of Umbria, Picenuni, Sabinum, Samnium, and Lucania. 



The chief element of Italian population which we have hitherto 

 left unnoticed is the Greek, purely derived from Latin Greece, 

 and distinguished from the Pelasgic population which had settled 

 in Italy long previously. The earliest Greek colony in Italy was 

 CumEe, in Campagnia, which is referred to a fabulous date. 

 There were, no doubt, many other towns of which there is no 

 distinct record. Even in Southern Etruria we can trace in the 

 legend of Tarquinius, and the story of the arrival of Demaratus 

 from Corinth with the artists Euchir and Eugrammus, a link 

 between the sea-board of Etruria and the maritime cities of 

 Peloponnesus. In Magna Grascia the Greek element was most 

 firmly planted, and there, both in religion and in philosophy, it 

 gave rise to a school as distinguished as any in old Greece itself.
