[Footnote 14: Mount Garganus, now Monte St. Angelo, in the
kingdom of Naples, runs three hundred stadia into the
Adriatic Sea, (Strab. - vi. p. 436,) and in the darker ages
was illustrated by the apparition, miracles, and church, of
St. Michael the archangel. Horace, a native of Apulia or
Lucania, had seen the elms and oaks of Garganus laboring and
bellowing with the north wind that blew on that lofty coast,
(Carm. ii. 9, Epist. ii. i. 201.)]
