Chap. V. through Austria, Bohemia, Moravia^ Wc . 751 
above 300 Years ago ; who diftinguifli’d the Students 
into four feveral Divifions or Nations, each of which, 
befides the General Conftitutions, had their peculiar 
Rules and Privileges ; they were AujlrianSi Nations of 
the Rhine ^ Hungarians, and Saxons, 
To the Aufirian Divifion belonged thofe of Friuli and 
5 T rent, all Italy, and other Provinces beyond the Moun- 
tains. Under the Nations of the Rhine were compre- 
hended the Suevians, Alfatians, Franconians, Hefians, 
and the other Provinces, France, Spain, Navarre, Hol- 
land, and Brabant To the third Clafs of the Hungari- 
ans, are jdined the Bohemians, Moravians, Sclavo- 
nians, and all that ufe the Sclavonian Tongue, as alfo 
the Germans. To the Clafs of the Saxon Nation, belong 
the Saxons, Wejiphalians, Fhuringians, Mifnians, Bran- 
denburgers, Pruffians, Livonians, Lufatians, Pomeranians, 
with the Ultramarine Kingdoms of England, Scotland, 
Ireland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, 
As in thefe feveral Divihons all Europe is compre- 
hended fo it muft be confefs’d, that there are in this 
Univerfity Students of many Nations, who fometimes, 
when any Differences arife among themfelves, Hand up 
each for their refpedlive Divilions ; but are fure to unite 
together, if any Contentions happen betwixt the Stu- 
dents and the Citizens, or Jews. As for their natural 
Philofophy, they have not yet attain’d to our new Way 
of explaining Things, by Corpufcular Motions, and 
Experimental Philofophy ; though fome of them were 
very inquifitive after our Royal Society, as well here as 
at Altorff-, and I have been folicited even from Cajfo- 
via in Upper Hungary, to fend the Tranfadlions of our 
Society thither : A manifeft Sign, that if they were 
once lead into the Path of our modern Philofophy, they 
would without all Queftion follov/ our Footfteps. For 
the reft, they are well verfed here in Languages, Hiftory, 
and Antiquity. , 
I remember I was prefent here at a publick Anatomy- 
Ledlure of a Woman, which lafted nineteen Days j 
perform’d by Dr. Wolfflregel, a learned Phyfician. I ob- 
ferved the Pyramidal Mufcles to be very plain and large, 
and the Uterus of a Size larger than ordinary ; the Car- 
tilago Enfiformis was double, and the Lungs very black. 
The Motions of the Eye were very nicely ftiewn by an 
artificial one of Ivory, and another of Paftboard, con- 
trived and made by himfelf ; and after the Diffedfion of 
the Mufcles of the Pharynx, Larynx, Os Hyoides, and 
the Tongue, he reduced them with an admirable Dex- 
terity into their proper Places, to difeover their natural 
Pofition. The Anatomy -Theatre was capable of hold- 
ing a hundred Perfons. 
16. This Univerfity has, among other Privileges, the 
Power of Life and Death, in refpedl: of their own Mem- 
bers. But what gives the greateft Luftre to this famous 
City is the Refidence of the Emperor Leopold, born in 
1638. His eldeft Brother Ferdinand, King of the Ro- 
mans, dying before his Father Ferdinand III. Leopold 
fucceeded in the Empire, and married Margareta In- 
fanta of Spain, the Daughter of Philip IV. He is the 
Darling of his People, and equally beloved both by 
the Soldiery and Clergy. He is of a grave, but 
graceful Afped, and has the long Chin, and remark- 
able Lip of the Family of Aufiria. He is well verfed 
in the German, Italian, Spani/h, and Latin Languages ; 
and as he takes Delight in Reading, fometimes for feve- 
ral Hours together, fo he is always forward in counte- 
nancing learned Men. He alfo delights in Mufick, and 
frequently compofes himfelf ; which makes all the 
Church- men, and others, encourage Mufick and Mufi- 
cians. The Emperor himfelf has excellent Mufick, 
both Vocal and Inftrumental, in his Palace, and fome 
of his own Compofitions are play’d in his private Cha- 
pel, where eight or ten Pages of the Emperor, Earls 
Sons, ferve at the Altar, with white Torches in their 
Elands, whilft the Eunuchs are finging. 
His Recreations abroad confift chiefly in Hunting, 
efpecially the wild Boar. The young Nobility formerly 
ufed to encounter a wild Boar, fometimes a Angle Perfon 
alone, but fmee the unfortunate Accident that happened 
to Count Nicholas Seirini, who was kill’d by one of thofe 
Creatures, the Huntfmen are always at Hand, when 
the Boar is at a Bay, that the Emperor, or others' there 
prefent, may the miore fafely kill it. There are great 
Numbers of thefe Creatures hereabouts, their Flefh be- 
ing a common Difh at Vienna, and of a delicious Tafte 5 
for they feed upon Acorns, Beach-maft, and ChefnutSj 
and upon the Sprouts of Broom, Juniper, and other 
Shrubs, as alfo upon the Roots of Fern j they will fome- 
times leave the Forefts, and range in the Corn-fields 
and Vineyards. It is the Huntlman’s Bafinefs to keep 
a watchful Eye over them 5 and they are fo Ikilful in 
that Game, that by the Tread of their Feet, and caft- 
ing their hind Feet out of the Track of their Fore-feet^ 
they will tell you, whether it be a wild Swine or tame 
Hog ; nay, whether it be Male or Female, Young or 
Old, Lean or Fat, 
The Emperor, as he is a good Huntfman, fo he takes 
a great Delight in Horfes : Fie has a very fine Stable 
fill’d with manag’d Horfes, brought from Turkey, Tar- 
tary, Poland, Tranfylvania, Germany, Bohemia, Hungary, 
and Naples. It was fomething furprizing to me, to find 
in an inland City fuch confiderable Magazines of Naval 
Stores, as I found at Vienna : Thefe are employ’d in 
the Fleet upon the Danube againft the Turks ; being a 
kind of Gallies, carrying great Guns, and a confidera- 
ble Number of Soldiers, befides Seamen. They are 
laid up behind one of the Baftions of the City, and fome 
of them are kept at Raah and Comc>rra. 
The Imperial Court was at this Time compofed of 
many wife Counfellors, great Generals, and refined 
Courtiers ; fuch as, Eufebius Wenceflaus, Duke of Sagan. 
Prince Lobkowitz, Lord High Steward, chief Minifter 
and Favourite of the Emperor, being the Perfon who 
difeovered the late Hungarian Revolt, for which Count 
Peter Serini, and Nadajli, paid with their Pleads. Henry 
William Count Stahrenherg, Marlhal of the Court, 
“John Maximilian, Count Lamberg, Lord Chamberlain, 
who has near a hundred Gentlemen of the Bed-Cham- 
ber under him, all Barons and Counts : They wear a 
Golden Key upon the Breaft, as the GroomS of the 
Bed-Chamber wear one of Steel : Two of each attend 
every Night. Gundaker, Count Dietrichliein, Matter of 
the Horfe. Count Zinzendorff, chief Hunts-Mafter, 
The Count of Averjberg, chief Faulconer, who has 
twelve others under him. The Count de Paar, Poft- 
mafter-General. Leopold Wilhelm, Marquis of Baden, 
Captain of a hundred Hartjhires, who are a kind of a 
Horfe-Guard of the Emperor’s Body, arm’d with Pi- 
ftols and Carabines, without the City *, but within, the 
Foot carry Launces and Javelins with broad Points. 
Francis Aujtin, Count Walleftein, Captain of a hun- 
dred of the Emperor’s Foot-Guard of his Body. Sixty 
Pages, moft of them Counts and Barons. Raymund 
Count de Montecuculi, who has fignaliz’d himfelf in Po- 
land, Hungary, and Germany the Emperor’s General, 
Prefident of the Council of War. Next to him was 
Count Souches, a Native of Rachel •, and his Son Go- 
vernor of Leopoljladt. Count Lejly, Nephew to Count 
Lejly, who was fent in the Quality of Ambaffador to 
the Port from the Emperor, is alfo look’d upon as one 
of the beft Commanders the Emperor has : Befides a 
great many other brave Officers, who have fhewn their 
Valour upon a thoufand Occafions 5 fo that though the 
Emperor never takes the Field in Perfon, yet has he 
been very fuccefsful in his Wars, efpecially againft the 
Turks. The Courts of both the Empreffes are filled 
with Perfons of great Worth. Among the Clergy, and 
Men of Learning fof which the Emperor is a great 
Lover,) the Jefuits, Moelner, and Boccabella, are the 
chiefeft. And to fum up all, it is certain, that Vienna 
is the moft likely Place for any Foreigner, whether 
Soldier or Scholar, to make his Fortune, provided he 
be- of the Roman Catholick Religion. 
17. It will perhaps be furprifing to fome, that upon 
the'utmoft Limits of the learned Part of Europe, the 
Emperor is Matter of a Library, which both for the 
Number and Value of Books, gives Way to no other 
Library in Europe. The worft is, that the Receptacle 
is not fuitable to fo vaft a Treafure % for though it is 
divided into eight fpacious Rooms, in which the Shelves 
ftand fo clofe, that there is fcarce an eafy Paffage left 
betwixt
