766 ANNUAL REGIST,ER, 1804. 



believing; the Englishman devout ; 

 the Frenchman zealous; the Italian 

 ceremonious; the Spaniard a bigot. 



" In keeping his word, the Ger- 

 man is faithful; the Englishman 

 safe; the Frenchman giddy; the 

 Italian cunning; the Spaniard a 

 cheat. 



" In giving advice, the German 

 is slow; the English resolute; the 

 Frenchman precipitate ; the Italian 

 nice; the Spaniard circumspect. 



" In love, the German does not 

 understand it: the Englishman loves 

 a little here and there ; the French- 

 man every where ; the Italian knows 

 how one ought to love; the Spani- 

 ard loves truly, 



" In external appearance, the 

 German is tali; the Englishman 

 "Well made ; the Frenchman well 

 looking ; the Italian of the middle 

 size ; the Spaniard frightful. 



" In dress, the German is shabby; 

 the Englishman superb ; the French- 

 man changing ; the Italian a tatter- 

 demalion; the Spaniard decent. 



" In manners, the German is 

 clownish; the Englishman barba- 

 rous; the Frenchman easy; the Ita- 

 lian polite ; the Spaniard proud. 



" In keeping a secret, the Ger- 

 man forgets what he has been told ; 

 the Englishman conceals what he 

 should divulge, and divulges what 

 he should conceal ; the Frenchman 

 blabs every thing ; the Italian does 

 not utter a word; the Spaniard is 

 mysterious. 



" In vanity, the German boasts 

 little; the Englishman despises all; 

 the Frenchman praises every thing ; 

 the Italian values little what is of 

 little value ; the Spaniard is indiffe- 

 rent to all. 



*" In eating and drinking, the 

 German is a drunkard ; the Eng- 

 lishman a lover of sweets; the 



Frenchman delicate ; the Italian 

 moderate; the Spaniard niggardly. 



" In offending and doing good, 

 the German does neither good nor 

 bad ; the Englishman docs both 

 without reason ; the I(alian is prompt 

 in beneficence, but vindictive; the 

 Spaniard indifierent in both re- 

 spects. 



" In speaking, the German 

 speaks little and badly, but writes 

 well ; the Frenchman speaks and 

 writes well ; the Englishman speaks 

 badly, but writes well ; the Italian 

 speaks well, writes much and well ; 

 the Spaniard speaks little, writes 

 little, but well. 



" In address, the German looks 

 like a blockhead ; the Englishman 

 resembles neither a fool nor a wise 

 man; the Frenchman is airy; the 

 Italian is prudent, but looks like a 

 fool ; the Spaniard is quite the re- 

 verse. 



" In laws, the German laws are 

 indifferent; the Englishman has bad 

 laws, but observes them well ; the 

 Frenchman has good laws, but ob- 

 serves them badly ; the Italians and 

 Spaniards have good laws ; the for- 

 mer observes them negligently, the 

 latter rigidly. 



" Servants, are companions in 

 Germany ; slaves in England : mas- 

 ters in France; respectful in Italy; 

 submissive in Spain. 



" Diseases — Germans are parti- 

 cularly infested with fleas ; the 

 English with whitlows; the French 

 with the small-pox ; the Italians 

 ■with the plague ; and the Spaniards 

 with wens. 



" The women are housewives in 

 Germany ; queens in England ; la- 

 dies in France; captives in Italy; 

 slaves in Spain. 



" In courage, the German re- 

 sembles a bear ; the Englishman a 



lion J
