faring that season, the country is poorly supplied with 

 "" ""T"' butcher meat, which is then chiefly imported from 

 <.ick and Holstein. The butter is excellent and 

 well lasted ; but the cheese is described as of the worst 

 kind. A few goats are found in the heathy grounds ; 

 but are prohibited inmost other parts of Denmark Pro- 

 per. ( >n the east coast, the swine are very small, and 



- 1 ley are of a considerable 

 .1 good deal of lard is exported from the pro- 

 vine- particularly of the aquatic tribe, 

 :. .1: >;i in the country ; and pheasants are found 

 in the forest*, even of this northern region. 



, The fisheries of Jutland are remarkably productive, 



and fumiih a principal source of employment to the in- 

 habitants, particularly on the west coast, where the 

 fishers are singularly intrepid. The numerous gulfs, 

 which penetrate the province, abound with fish ; and 

 their water* are so moderately salt, that several kinds 

 of fresh water fish, especially carp, are taken on their 

 banks. Lymfiord is peculiarly productive, and fur- 

 nishes multitudes of herring and eels. The principal 

 sorts taken on the- coast* and inlets, are cod, flout 

 bret, and salmon ; great quantities of which are export- 

 ed to the isles, and southern provinces of the kingdom, 

 and the last mentioned fish generally in the state of kip- 

 per. Considerable beds of oysters are also found on the 

 coasts, sufficiently rich to supply an ex port.it ion ; and a 

 little alkali is made from the sea-weed by the inhabi- 

 tants of the maritime district*. 



. - . The country people of Jutland spin a considerable 

 tuiefc portion of their wool, and knit the yarn into stockings 



fur exportation, to the annual value of 16,000 rix-dol- 

 lars. They also manufacture for their own use a kind 

 of coarse cloth ; which, like the highlanders of Scotland 

 ami Walrs, they d. .der as gaudy as possible, 



by weaving together various coloured stuff*, particu- 

 larly bliu ! yellow. There are several manu- 

 factories of woollen cloth in the province ; and one at 

 Aalbourg lw* sometime* exported this article to the va- 

 lue of 00,000 rix-dolLar* per annum. In several vil- 

 , particularly around the town of Wartle, a kind 

 ick pottery is made of a fine blui-h city i: 



1. and exported to a considerable amount, 

 :nburgh and Ilollai. dumlund, 



a few n.iles from Aalbourg, are large works for prepa- 

 ring potash, alum, white- lead, and soap. There are 

 also manufactories for haU, gloves, and fire-arm* at 

 Aalbourg ; and at the mine plac*, a gentleman, who 

 had upland, has recently established one for 



. but is said to experience considerable dilli- 

 m the apathy and sluggishness of his work- 

 men. 



r . The i which penetrate the province, 



tend gr< .te the inland trade ; but the 



t harbours are not duly cleared 



of tli<- mud and sand, which are apt to accumulate, es- 



; the port* are situated at the entrance of 



t.iple comma' tland i* grain, 



rhieHjr rye and oaU, with which ',( vessel*

and Norway. 



Jutland contains above 400.000 inhabitants, on a 

 surface of above (>300 square mile*. The natives of 

 the province are not a handsome race , but the men, 

 though generally in-kneed, and (lender limbed, .-re tall, 

 and tolerably good-looking. The women, who are r< - 

 markaMy utr- haired, are not so handsome in propor- 

 " the men, but uncommonly good humoured and 



obliging. The dress of the lower class among them is 

 extremely unbecoming, and tends to detract from the 

 beauty which they do possess. " They are not only 

 wrapped up, but literally screwed or twisted in, from 

 the. hijs to the nose, in innumerable volumes of cloth 

 and linen ; and, below the waist, they are of such a 

 tremendous bulk, that, at a distance, they look like so 

 many hogshe:ul.s ;" ( Miicdonald). The men dress much 

 more suitably ; but generally wear wooden shoes, of a 

 great weight and clumsy shape, which give them a 

 hobbling duck-like walk ; which is said greatly to in- 

 crease the difficulty of drilling them in the army, and 

 which they are apt to retain even after being accus- 

 tomed to shoes and boots. There is a general appear- 

 ance of ease and comfort among the peasantry ; and 

 the price of labour is generally high, though the work- 

 men are extremely sluggish, and do not perform two- 

 thirds of what an English labourer would do with ease. 

 In ISOp. at Aalbourg common labourers received two 

 shillings a day, and tradesmen frequently five, or even 

 six ; but, it must be admitted, that a time of war may 

 luve coiiUibuted to produce this high rate of wages. 

 The language spoken in the province is, of course, the 

 Danish ; but. persons of rank and education, and, in 

 general, all the middling classes in the larger towns, 

 apeak German, and a few understand English and 

 French. See Playfair's Geography, vol. iii.; Macdo- 

 don.il.!'- Travels through Denmai i; vol. i. ; and Tableau

.11 \ I'.N \I.. l)r.< IMI , .Ii-Mi . - JI-VKXM.IS, the cele- 

 brated Roman satirist, was born at Aquinum, a town 

 c Volacians, about the year 38 of the Christian era. 

 Of his parentage, education, and the circumstances of 

 hi* life, very little can be related with certainty. He 

 waj the contemporary of Martial, the epigrammatist, 

 and is said to have been bred to the study of eloquence, 

 which he seem* to have cultivated rather with a view 

 to In- own amusement than from any intention to pre- 

 pare himself either for the schools, or the courts of law. 

 He appear* to have been well advanced in life before 

 he betook himself to poetry, and produced those satires, 

 which have car > une and reputation down to 



our times. T! ' .its of his satire seem to have? 



been directed against Paris, a young pantomime dancer, 

 and the fivouritr of Domiiiaii, who wa* then at the 

 head of the government. His compositions were, at 

 first, secretly handc-d about among liis friends ; but be- 

 coming bolder by degree*, he incurred the severe re- 

 sentim tit of Pans, who prevailed upon the emperor to 

 send the author into a sort of honourable banishment 

 I" 1'gypt. This account, however, is doubled 1 . That 

 Juvenal was in Egypt is certain ; but whether he was 

 thither as a punishment, or went from motive* of 

 personal safety, or of mere curiosity, cann< 

 twined. The punishment, however, if he nifl'c:vd any, 

 had no other effect on him, than that of iniT-a.,ing his 

 hatred of tyranny, and turning his indignation on the 

 emperor himself, whose vices became, from that period, 

 the object of his keenest reprobation. 



In the year 95, when Juvenal was in the ;>4th year 

 of his age, Domitun banished the philosophers from 

 Home ; and to thin period Mr. Gifford incline;: to fix 

 Juvenal's journey to Egypt. Nerva, who RIICI 

 I).. initial), recalled the exiles; and, from tLi> time, 

 there is little doubt that Juvenal was at Rome, where 

 he continued his studies in tranquillity. 



This is all that can be collected respecting the parti- 

 culars of hi* life. He appear* to have been easy in his 



Jutland,
