William Flynn’s journal The
Hibernian Chronicle was published twice weekly and ran from 1768 to
1801. The following excerpt appeared on
25 June 1772 and outlines the romantic advantages of travelling to Italy:
A certain great Lady was telling one of her
own family,
that her husband had
never slept a whole night with her
before he went to Italy:
I have heard, says Lady ---,
who overheard the
discourse, that one of the greatest
advantages of going to
Italy is, that it teaches a man
to sleep all night by
his wife (Vol IV, No 52, pg 403).
