Natural woods abound in that region, also peat-bogs not yet drained; and fishy lakes and meres, of a dark complexion: plenteous cattle there are, pigs among them;--thick-soled husbandmen inarticulately toiling and moiling.

Some glass-furnaces, a royal establishment, are the only manufactures we hear of.

Not a picturesque country; but a quiet and innocent, where work is cut out, and one hopes to be well left alone after doing it.

This Crown-Prince has been in far less desirable localities.
He had a reasonable house, two houses made into one for him, in the place.

He laid out for himself a garden in the outskirts, with what they call a "temple" in it,--some more or less ornamental garden-house,--from which I have read of his "letting off rockets" in a summer twilight.
Rockets to amuse a small dinner-party, I should guess,--dinner of Officers, such as he had weekly or twice a week.
