[Stieler's _Deutschland_ (excellent Map in 25 Pieces), Piece 12 .-- Till is a mile or two northeast from Moyland; Moyland about 5 or 6 southeast from Cleve.] Mors--which is near the Town of Ruhrort, about midway between Wesel and Dusseldorf--must be some forty miles from Moyland, forty-five from Cleve; southward of both.

So that the place, "A DEUX LIEUES DE CLEVES," is, even by Voltaire's showing, this Moyland; were there otherwise any doubt upon it.

"CHATEAU DE MEUSE"-- hanging out a prospect of MORS to us--is bad usage to readers.

Of an intelligent man, not to say a Trismegistus of men, one expects he will know in what town he is, after three days' experience, as here.

But he does not always; he hangs out a mere "shadow of Mars by moonlight," till we learn better.
