Travellers passing through Carlsbad are not in- 

 scribed in the Visitors List , and those who do not 

 remain above five days, have no tax to pay. That 

 tax [Cur- Tax) is four florins silver a head 5 children 

 under fifteen years, as well as domestics, are free 

 from it 5 children above fifteen, coming with their 

 parents, pay the half- tax. That revenue is entirely

Carlsbad, sixty german miles distant from Vienna, 

 and sixteen from Prague , is situated in a deep and 

 narrow valley, between granitic rocks, on both sides 

 of the Teple, which throws itself into a larger river, 

 the Egra, very near the town. The houses are all 

 built on the declivity of the hills, and on the banks 

 of the Teplc. Those hills, beautifully wooded, offer 

 innumerable and well kept walks, the greatest variety 

 of prospects, and an interesting field to lovers of 

 geology and botany. 



According to the last observations of the Rev. 

 A. David, royal astronomer at Prague, Carlsbad lays 

 50 13' 38" of latit. , 30 32' 47 ' long., and 182 

 fathoms above the level of the sea near Ham- 

 burgh.
