soon the masts of the snipping in its harbour
became visible ; and by six o'clock we were
already in port, having effected our passage
of about seventy miles in ten hours. •
Here^ as at Heligoland^ I found much of
the severer kind of labour performed by wo-
men. They officiated on the wharf as por-
ters, and conveyed our baggage to the Cus-
tom-house and the inn, where they did not
fail to make us pay for the honour of being
served by females. In our company was a
Russian officer going with dispatches to En-
oland, who, on enterino; the inn. was instant-
]y horror-struck at beholding the walls of the
apartment ornamented with the portraits of
lionaparte and his present Empress. It is cer-
tain that this little circumstance might be
LOiisidered as indicative of a different tone
of 0])inion in the country where we werc„
from that which we had just left, and the
llussian did not fail to record his sentiments,
by marking rogue on the one picture and a

<i;ons used in Sweden are in general much
smaller and lighter than those in Germany;
the Swedish nnle is equal to about six and
two-thirds English ; and the rate of tra-

this, an advanced courier, called here a Fore-
bud, is sometimes sent on before ; but as he
is detained by the same imjjediiiients whilst
you have the advantage of tlie horses which
lie has ordered, it is not unusual to over-
take him on the road. TI;c man at the inns
who goes for the horses is called the liolkar-
len, and although he may frequently have
a considerable distance to go for them, he
is contented with two or t'ircc shillings,
equal to as many English pence. The pos-
tillion or driver, who is generally a common
peasant, is equally moderate, and seldom or
ever complains of the smaihiess of your do-
nations. Add to this, that the roads are
excellent, and it m-iy be allowed tiiat Swe=-
den is in many rcs]:)ects a country fitted for
a traveller.
Immediatclv after quitting Ystad, the
countiy becomes more uneven than almost
any which I had seen between Breslau and
the sea. It appeared however, in general,
to be ^''ell cultivated, and divcrsihed by small
'216 E5VERL0F,
woods of oak and ehn. From the first
high ridge which wc pass we have an exten-
sive view of a weh-wooded country on the
right, and to the left see tljc Bahic stretched
out before us, upon which a f;"vV vvhite sails
are scattered. Directly on j)a?.;5ing tliis
ridge the rr^ad bec^unes a deep sand, and
mic^iit make us dread a I'cnewal of tlie v, astcs
of Brandenburg, biit that it extends to no
great distance. Tjic corintrr people, al-
thiOugh gcnei-ahy fair, did not appear to me
handsome, and the great use of v\ ooden shoes
i>as one proof of their jjovcrtv. The road was

also over which we passed was com])os(^d ot
bare sand. The greater part of the stage
consisted of a succession of ridgc?^ which
afibrded good views of the country, and on
the summit of the last, before desccndirig
to more level ground, was a mass of bare
rock, tlie first wiiieh we liad vet seen thus
exposed. Haviug travelled upwards of ten
English miles we arrived about eiglit o'clock,
at Dalby, a little place consisting of pea-
sants' liouses scattered, small and low, but
neat, and which being surrounded with trees
might be called peasants' nests. Amidst
them the low white church tower formed a
conspicuous object, in unison with the rest.
Here, as during the whole day, we noticed
tobacco, hops, and potatoes, growing toge-
ther in tlie peasants' gardens of a few feet
square, giving an idea of comfort and lux-
nr}^ Oil a small scale. From Dalby v/e pro-
ceeded itboiit seven miles, mostly over a
llat country, to L'und, aa ancient town, where
we did not arrive till Ions afier dark, an(i

In tl;e mornini: wq had l)ut a short time to
examine this to\vn, uhieh was formerly
highly renowned, and far more extensive
than at present, of whieh many traces still
remai;i. A venerable cathcdrah and a uni-
versity still in great repute, arc some ves-
tiges of its former ii'reatness. althoufrh the
population be now dwindled to little more
than three thousand souls. About half-past
Six wc set oft, and soon after leaving Lund
passed two tumuli, close on the right of
the road, and another at a little distance on
the left nearlv obliterated by the i^loupli.
About eiglit we reached Kyoflinge, consist-
ing of a few houses near a small stream nm-
iiing to the west, whicli we passed on a rude
stone bridge of five arches. Wc found here
])art (4 tlie smte of Lord Aberdeen, who
^â– ad already passed on to Ystad; on his way

to Vienna, and I was regaled with the sight
of some English newspapers. Contrary to
our expectations wc soon procured horses,
and proceeded to Tagarp, a single post-
liouse, which wc reached in two hours and
a quarter, over an excellent road, and through
a country generally fertile and well culti-
vated. Wc still continued to see tobacco
growing in the peasants' little gardens, toge-
ther \vith potatoes and the Scotch kale. Bar-
rows were scattered here and there in the
country round, and into one of them to the
left a poor man had dug, and by the aid of
a little wood and a door had fashioned it
into a kind of habitable cave above c;round ;
the ignoble living thus h.erding Vvith the
ashes of the once mighty dead.
From Tagarp, an hour and three quarters
brought us to Morarp, a small scattered
place with a low cliurcli. The greater part
of the road was over wide heaths, on whicJi,
ill spots, were scattered heaps of large stones,
FroH) this in another hour we reached In-
^50 ES'GKLHOL^?,
gelstorp, a single post-iiouscj and by a roact
the latter part of which was diversified bv ash
and willow trees, Anotlicr stage brought us
to Enirelhohn, a town consisting; of a single
street, but containinfi about five liniidred
people, where all the houses app(.-ared as if
recently built. From Lund to iNlorarp our
road liad been nearly ijaral'el to the .Sound,
winch sc])arates Sweden from the island of
Zealand, and at the latter place we vvere
nearly opposite to Elsineur, as Lund is to
r.openhci:'';n. In approaching; to Engel-

on foot, while day-light still remained. This

the ridge, we see on tlie other side a rapid
descent, ^ud a wide spread country, seem-
ingly better A\ooded and more interesting
than that which we have left behind. Here
and tlicre bare rocks project, but we do not
see the uTeat number of loose stones which
are spread about near Margretetorp.
Had I waited for the carriage I should
have missed this fine view^, as it became
dark before I began to descend ; and I
reached Karu]), a sinall \illage in the plain
on the opposite side, distant about eight
nhlcs from INlargretetoi-p. a full hour before
my companion ajipeared. Here we rested
till day-break. On the I9th we continued
our journey for s(jme time over a flat heath,
until at the end of seven or eiaht miles we
passed through Laholm, a neat little town
well sheltered In- hills, and situated on the
Laga, a fine stream Vvhich we crossed.

Above the town it divides into two branches,
which tumble over their rocky beds for some
distance, and tlien unite, forming beautifui
cascades, which few travellers will fail to
stop for some minutes to admire. A few
miles farther on we reacli Karrby, consist^i
uv^ of a few iiouscs on an elevated plain
above the river, and distant between eleven
and twelve miles from Karup. lacing de-
tained here upwards of an hour we again
pursued our journey across wide heaths,
above which on every side rose blocks of
gneiss, and over wdiicli the wind blew keen
from the J3altic, now constantly in sight on
onr left : looking back we beheld the
beautiful ridge of Ilallandsos,, stretching into
the sea, and seemiugly terminating in sevc-
i-al low islands off the |)0!nt. About eleven
we reached Ilalmstad, a good town near the
mouth of tlic ?Mssa, where lay vessels of

howevei'j we arrive upon barren heaths ter-

see the masts of vessels in the mouth of a
river, on the right bank of which stands
Frankenberg, an ancient town, containing
about seven hundred inhabitants, and dis-
tant about eleven miles from Sloinge. A
considerable salmon fishery is carried on
iiere, but the port is nearly blocked up by
sands. We arrived near dark, after crossing
trie river named after the tov^'n^ which re-
sembles that of Ilalmstad, by a good bridge.
Having asked for supper, salmon, milk, and
beer were set before us, on which wc re-
galed in despite of tlie aphorisnis of our
own country, which denounce such a mix-
tuie as unwholesonic. Vv'e set off again at

a large church is the most conspicuous.
The town is defended bv fortifications, but
they are in bad repair, and from the nature
of tlie ground it v/ould perhaps be better to
erect v.orks on the ncigbouring heiglits, than
immediately round the town itself. There
