One of these monuments resembles a mountain; it covers the ashes of a general, and is large enough to have covered his whole army; his relatives probably took the graves of Troy as a specimen for their monument.

It is moreover inscribed by very peculiar signs, which seemed to me to be runic characters.

The good people have united in this monument two characteristics of the ancients of two entirely distinct empires.
The university or library building in Upsala is large and beautiful; it is situated on a little hill, with a fine front facing the town.

The park, which is, however, still somewhat young, forms the background.
