Sweden likewise held, in the north of Germany, Anterior or Hither 

 Pomerania, as far as the river Peene, with the island of Rugen, the 

 town of Wismer, and the bailiwick of Neucloster, situated in the 

 duchy of Mecklenburg. Swedish Pomerania, together with the island 

 of Rugen, forms a territory of 1440 square miles, with a population of 

 from 100 to 110,000 inhabitants. 



This province was taken possession of by France, and formed part 

 of the Kingdom of Westphalia. It was, however, reconquered in 181 3, 

 by the crown Prince, Bernadotte, and has since been given to Den- 

 mank in exchange for Norway. 



Face of the country, mountains, forests, ...The face of the coun- 

 try in Sweden presents a pleasing diversity of the romantic and the 

 beautiful : a profusion of mountains, hills and eminences, intermingled 

 with extensive lakes, numerous rivers and winding streams, rocks, 

 cataracts, and cultivated lands. The principal mountains are found in 

 the chain which separates Sweden from Norway. The mountain 

 Swucku is esteemed the highest of this chain. The mountain Kine- 

 kulle, on the banks of the lake Wenner, consists of a number of terraces 

 rising one above another, the highest of which presents a scene equal- 

 ly rich and variegated. Rsetvik, another mountain, is estimated to be 

 6000 feet high above the level of the sea. These, as well as all the other 

 mountains of Sweden, are composed of granite, calcareous stone, and 

 slate. The basis of the greater part of them is granite, which is fre- 

 quently found in large separate masses, rising to a considerable height. 

 Jetteberg in West-Gothland, forms a mass of this kind. Taberg in. 

 Smalland, is composed entirely of iron ore. 



Vast forests, principally of pine, overspread a great part of the coun«
