The Rennes judiciaries should have sat there, to lend further ironical point to their decision.
The stadhuis has other possessions interesting to anti-quaries: valuable documents, gold and silver work, the metal and leather squirts through which boiling oil was projected at the enemies of the town; while an iron cage for criminals, similar, I imagine, to that in which Jan of Leyden was exhibited, hangs outside.
Travellers visit Kampen pre-eminently to see the stadhuis chimney-piece and oak, but the whole town is a museum.

I wish now that I had arranged to be longer there; but unaware of Kampen's charms I allowed but a short time both for Zwolle and itself.

On my next visit to Holland Kampen shall be my headquarters for some days.

A boat from Amsterdam to Kampen sails every morning.
Despite its Judgment Hall and its other merits Kampen is the Dutch Gotham.
