Sclioonoven ; this caftle was entirely demolifhed by the 
citizens, in 1581. In 1438, it was entirely deftroyed by 
fire, but afterwards rebuilt in a better manner; the 
grand market is in a triangular form, with a handfome 
town-houfe, built in 1449, (landing in the centre. The 
great church is one of the handfomeft and larged in the 
country, and is particularly celebrated for its painted

cheeie, and tobacco-pipes : there ai'e boats which pafs 
regularly to Amderdam, the Hague, Rotterdam, U trecht,

her relidence : nine miles north-ead of Rotterdam, and 
twenty-two Couth of Antderdam. Lat. 52.1.N. Ion.
