The extensive buildings attached to this seminary are built on the slope of a mountain, which is washed on one side by the waters of the lake, and surrounded on the other by the beautiful park-plantations.
Before leaving Stockholm I had the honour of being introduced to her majesty the Queen of Sweden.

She had heard of my travels, and took a particular interest in my account of Palestine.

In consequence of this favour, I received the special permission to inspect the whole interior of the palace.

Although it was inhabited, I was conducted, not only through the state-rooms, but through all the private rooms of the court.
It would be impossible to describe the splendour which reigns here, the treasures of art, the magnificent appointments, and the evident taste every where displayed.

I was delighted with all the treasures and splendour, but still more with the warm interest with which her majesty conversed with me about Palestine.
