Note 863 — Chapter III · LANGUAGE AS THE BASIS OF SOCIAL INTERCOURSE.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
The place, too, of the dialect in the usage of daily life was clearly understood. Gioviano Pontano ventured especially to warn the prince of Naples against the use of it (Jov. Pontan. De Principe). The last Bourbons were notoriously less scrupulous in this respect. For the way in which a Milanese Cardinal, who wished to retain his native dialect in Rome was ridiculed, see Bandello, parte ii. nov. 31.
