ment may rival that of Schonbrunn, and appears to me to be o. 

 the first consideration. 



As to the interior of the chateau, the apartments that I saw 

 were very small, dark, and ill fitted up with decorations. In 

 general, though it is doubtless a noble structure, in a situation 

 very agreeable, with gardens like a paradise, it does not rank so 

 high, in the character of a splendid and august edifice, as that 

 of Eszterhazi. The principal defect of the latter, is its disad- 

 vantageous situation. The chateau of Eisenstadt, from the em- 

 bellishments introduced, reminded me of the English country- 

 houses, where the manner of building and living was, at once, 

 convenient and comfortable, but not well befitting the character 

 of magnificent. Many chateaux that I have seen in Germany 

 and France, are not so handsome or elegant as this ; which, 

 however, is an object by no means so well calculated to fill the 

 eye with its grandeur, or to inspire emotions of admiration. 



I entered Vienna again about the middle of November, exceed- 

 ingly fatigued with my excursions, after leaving Kesztely, and 

 standing greatly in need of repose. After spending a few days 

 at Vienna, I prepared for my departure, but winter had already 

 set in, and though it was fair weather, the thermometer was ten 

 degrees below zero.
