Excerpt from My Prisons: Memoirs of Silvio Pellico of Saluzzo ON Friday the 13th of October, 1820, I was arrested at Milan, and carried to the prison of Santa Margherita. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. I was immediately subjected to a long examination, which was continued through several days. But of this I shall say nothing.

He civilly requested me to give up to him (to be restored in due time) my watch, my money, and every thing else that I had in my pockets, and respectfully wished me a good night.

I was unable to resist the thought, and I wept even as a child. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
