THE ITALIAN,
OR THE
CONFESSIONAL of the BLACK PENITENTS.
A ROMANCE.
BY
ANN RADCLIFFE,
AUTHOR OF THE MYSTERIES OF UDOLPHO, &c. &c.

Broods o'er his passions, bodies them in deeds,
And sends them forth on wings of Fate to others:
Like the invisible Will, that guides us,
Unheard, unknown, unsearchable!
