In addition to the above works, this district abounds with furnaces and forges, for the treatment and purification of 

 iron. There is a large manufactory of Brass at Ocker, belonging to the Duke of Brunswick. Near Neustadt there * 

 is a small establishment for the evaporation of a water containing salt which is extracted from a well, hard by. The 

 construction and order observed in these works is really very beautiful. The Hartz contain two manufactories of ozar of 

 Cobalt ; the mineral here treated is brought from the Rhine. The smoking sulphuric acid termed Nordhansen is manufac- 

 tured from iron pyrites at three different places, namely, Nordhausen, Braunlage and Tanne. The method given by 

 Mr. Hauseman in his travels in Scandinavia, for the collecting of sulphur from iron pyrites is practised at Victor Freder- 

 ic's silver works in the department of Anhalt. The white lead works, situated at Osterode, are very large, and this is 

 the only establishment that we were not permitted to visit during our stay in the Hartz. Finally, there is a manufactory 

 of arms at Hertzberg which enjoys a very high reputation throughout Germany. We cannot quit this interesting coun- 

 try, without commending the cordiality of the inhabitants towards strangers. The people are simple, frank and unwea- 

 ried in their services, and the word Gluckavf (the miners' salutation) is the only passport necessary in journeying through 

 this land of science, in which the means of instruction are very great.
