40 TRAVELS THROUGH 

 that many could not do that. But, from 

 his expreffions, I judged, that he included 

 others, who had not fo much as locol. 

 And I found that they calculated loool. to 

 be fufficient to flock fix hundred acres of 

 land j which muft be much more than the 

 farmers in England would think of taking 

 with fuch a fum. 



Leaving thefe intelligent people, I fet 

 forward for Lunneville, where I expected 

 to be well entertained in many refpe&s, ha- 

 ving been aflured it was the moft agreeable 

 refidence, for a ftranger, in all Lorain : 

 but I was greatly difappointed. The death 

 of King Staniflaus, who ufed to refide here 

 a part of the year, and the reft at Nancy, 

 and kept a court, which much enlivened the 

 place, has rendered it, fo far from being agree- 

 able, that it is quite melancholy. The people, 

 who remember better days, complain highly.. 

 While Lorain had a fovercign of its own, 

 the academy alone would have rendered a 

 fmall place flouriming, being greatly re- 

 forted to by foreigners ; but it has, fince 

 that, fallen much, and is quite in decay, 

 compared to what it was. But, in thefe re- 

 marks, I meao, that Lunneville is not the 



place.
