Mountains, lakes, rivers, canals... .Russia is in general a plain 

 country, but between Petersburg and Moscow are the high grounds 

 called the Valday Mountains, though the highest is only 400 yards 

 above the level of Petersburg, or the sea. Between the lakes Ladoga 

 and Onega is the chain of Olonetz, which runs in a direction almost 

 due north for a great extent. The vast Uralian chain, which divides 

 European from Asiatic Russia, extends from about the 50th to nearly 

 the 67th degree of N. lat. or more than 1000 English miles. The 

 Russians call this range Lemnoipoijas, the Girdle of the Earth. Ural 

 also is a Tartarian word signifying a belt or girdle. These moun- 

 tains are supposed to be the Montes Hyperborseij or Riphsei, of the 

 ancients.
