reign’d for fome Years in many Cities, Towns, 
and Villages of the Kingdom of Poland , where it has 
fwept away a vaft Number of Inhabitants, and has even 
left fome Places quite defolate. As I have been credibly 
inform’d, it firft began near Pinczow or Pikporv in the 
Year 1702* foon after the unfortunate Battle between the 
Saxons and Srvedes. The next Year it appear’d here and 
there towards Cracow and RuJJia , and had already caufed 
great Mortality near the Hungarian Mountains, called 
Crapack $ till it went Eaftward to the Upper Volhinia , 
and again. Weft ward to Lemberg.
