A land tax, equably levied and collected, permitted the repeal of all other direct imposts. The civil list was fixed at onehundred thousand ducats per month, and one moiety of this sum was discharged in cere tificates receivable in payment for public lands, Of which the king made presents to many of the inhabitants of Naples who were attached to his court. These domains encircled his residence at Capo di Monte. His principal motive in adopting this course was a wish to inspire the Neapolitan nobility with a taste for a country life. In furtherance of this view, he created an_order to which persons of all pursuits and professions were admitted, and he appointed a grand dignitary of the order in each province, to reside on an agricultural establishment, the government and management of which were intrusted to him. This was intended as a species Of model farm, the best means which could be devised for extending a knowledge of the most approved theory and practice of culture among the people. At the same time, he in fluenced the barons, Whose domains he traversed, to re-establish their ancient residences, and invited them to accompany him in his pro gresses, and upon all occas1ons to hold'themselves forth as protectors of the country and friends to the poor.
