LIFE OF CARDINAL MEZZOFANTI
Home > Mezzofanti > Biography > 1798 to 1802 > Private Tuition

To meet this increased expenditure, the Abate's only resource lay in that wearisome and ill-requited drudgery in which the best years of struggling genius are so often flittered away private instruction. He undertook the humble, but responsible, duties of private tutor, and turned industriously, if not very profitably, to account, the numerous acquisitions of his early years.There are few of the distinguishedfamilies of Bologna, some of whose members were not among his pupils—the Marescalchi, Pallavicini, Ercolani, Martinetti, Bentivoglio, Marsigli, Sampieri, Angelelli, Marchetti, and others. To these, as well as to several foreigners, he gave instructions in ancient and modern languages, to some in his own apartments, but more generally in their houses.
