3j8 account of t«e city CP hieres, 



perfons with whom I had any thing to do, poffefTed 

 both of thefe good qualities in an eminent degree ; and 

 have left in my mind a pleafing recollection of them 

 in conjunction with the fentiments of gratitude and 

 eileem. On my arrival I went into a wretched inn, 

 before the gate of the city, and remained in it only one 

 night. Confequently the people did not make much 

 money by me, However, I found during the time of 

 my flay there, as much friendly ofricioufnefs from the 

 landlady, a good old creature ; the daughter, an agree- 

 able girl, and the fon, who is the cook of the houfe, 

 as if I had been their nearer! relation. I had nothing 

 to do but to make a fign for what I wanted ; and they 

 immediately fet about doing their utmoft to procure it 

 me. It was the fame with the cook-maid that had been 

 hired for me ; a tender, delicate girl of about 20 years 

 of age : the fame with the people who lived in a fmall 

 building adjoining to the houfe in which I dw r elt. No 

 where have I met with fo much hearty ofricioufnefs as 

 here. 



I cannot refrain from giving one more in fiance of it; 

 for, trifiing as thefe things may appear, they never- 

 thelefs are really to be claffed among the moil remar- 

 kable obfervations of a traveller, I had one day gone 

 . out upon a walk, attended only by my fervant, and 

 had rambled to a pretty conficlerable diftance from the 

 town ; when all at once I found myfelf fo entangled 

 among the hills, that I no longer perceived any outlet 

 before me. From the fummit of one of them I looked 

 down and faw a little cottage ; which I attempted to 

 reach, that from thence I might difcover fome good 

 way to the city. It was very difficult to defcend the 



fide
