 and New, or Frederick Town (the two separated by the Goth's street, 4200 

 feet long), Christianshaven on the "island of Amak, and the citadel Frede-

 buildings are the royal 7'esidence Amalienburg, with two other castles, that 

 of Rosenborg (with a cabinet of coins and a fine garden), and the new 

 Christiansborg (containing a beautiful chapel, a large library, and a museum 

 of art consisting of paintings and antiques) ; adjoining the palace is the 

 Thorwaldsen Museum, containing all the works of the great sculptor, and 

 valuable collections of paintings, coins, medals, gems, &c., bequeathed by 

 him to his native city ; the Church of Our Lady, with statues by Thorwaldsen, 

 representing Christ and the Apostles ; the Church of the Trinity, with a tower 

 111 feet high, access to which, even for wagons, can be had by a flat spiral 

 ascent ; the Frederik or Marble (Church (ruin of an unfinished edifice) ; the 

 Church of the Redeemer, with a high spire, the top of which is reached by an
