“…The Nice of Austria” is the name by which Gorizia, or Goritz, is known among its habitues, owing to its mild climate. Curiously enough, the city furnishes a link with the French Bourbons, for in a Franciscan convent there lie the remains of Charles X. of France, the last of the Bourbons; of the Duke of Angouleme, his son, and of the Duc de Chambord, who died as recently as 1883. Gorizia, under Austrian rule, was the capital of the crown land of Gorz Gradisca and first appears in history toward the close of the tenth century, when it was bestowed on the church. It is still the seat of an archbishop, and its special industry, significantly, perhaps, has long been the printing of Hebrew books for the east.—London Spectator.
