[Footnote 11: Petrarch and the senators of Rome were
ignorant that the laurel was not the Capitoline, but the
Delphic crown, (Plin. Hist. Natur p. 39. Hist. Critique de
la Republique des Lettres, tom. i. p. 150 - 220.) The
victors in the Capitol were crowned with a garland of oak
eaves, (Martial, l. iv. epigram 54.)]
