near the coalt nourish numerous cattle; but the country 
does not produce corn Sufficient for the consumption 
of its inhabitants. Oil and filk are the chief exports

colony .; when the Lombards overran Italy, it became tri¬ 
butary to them ; afterwards it was annexed to the domi 
nion of the Franks, and from-them the emperors of Ger¬ 
many claimed its Sovereignty. In the reign of Charles IV. 
it became an independent Slate, and has, during three 
centuries, maintained its liberty, under the protection of 
fome foreign power. In the recent revolutions of Italy, 
this State adopted a constitution Similar to the French ; 
-and became a principality, with the addition of Maffa 
Carrara, and Garfagnana. The fate of Lucca, and of all
