for afpiring to divine honours. Ovid. 
The roads over Mount Haemus are now almoft im- 
. practicable, and are rendered more terrible, as they are 
the retreat of thieves and banditti. Yet this celebrated 
mount is indeed the (ite of all thofe s beauties in land- 
fcape which the poets have defcribed as peculiar to it, 
and Hill realifes their happieft imagery. Deep glens, 
impenetrable ftiade of gigantic chefnuts, ftuubs aro¬

Here the forefts abound in many kinds of fruit trees, 
particularly cherries, apricots, and vines. Flowers are 
found as numerous and exquifite as in the mod culti¬ 
vated gardens in a lefs genial foil. Art may here 
ftrive in vain to equal nature; and the richeft garden 
niuft yield to thefe mountain recedes ; but which, as 
totally uninhabited, are loft to mankind. At the op- 
pofite bale of Mount Haemus we enter Romelia, through 
a winding glen, occafionally a torrent bed, but gene¬ 
rally a fmall ftreain, with huge Hones, precipitated from 
the fummit. The lkreens on either fide are inconceiv- 
H A E 
ably lofty, with broad mafles of rock, impending fo fa»* 
that immediate falling might be, dreaded. The trees 
are moftly the dwarf oak, with jafmine, wild rofes, and 
fpring flowers, in the greateft perfection and plenty. 
At Kafanlik are groups of peafant women, who con¬ 
gratulate travellers on .efcaping the perils of Mount 
Haemus, which affords them a fpecious pretence for beg¬

HA'EN (Anthony Van),, profeftbr of medicine in the 
univerfity of Vienna, born at Leyden, in 1704, and ftu- 
died under the celebrated < Boerhaave. After taking 
his degree as M. D. he fettled at the Hague, where he 
praftifed with great fuccefs and approbation. Vara 
Swieten, however, who was fully acquainted with the 
value of his talents, prevailed on him to remove to 
Vienna, that he might aflift him in the plan he had 
drawn up for reforming the medical faculty in that ca¬ 
pital. He repaired to that city in 1754, to be profelTor 
of medicine, and fully anfwered the expectation which 
had been formed of him. He died in 1776, at the age 
of feventy-two. This eminent phyficutn rendered him¬

HA'ERLEM, or Har'lem, a large, handfome, rich, 
and populous, city of Holland, the capital of a country 
called Kemmer, fttuated about a league from the fea, 
on the river Sparen. It holds a fecond rank among the 
principal cities of Holland. William, king of the Ro¬ 
mans, and comte of Holland, granted the citizens great 
privileges, becaufe they had fignalized themfelves in 
the crufades: the crufaders, defirous of feizing Dami- 
etta, a feaport town of Lower Egypt, found a chain 
thrown acrofs the river, which the citizens of Haerlem 
found means to break, and thus gaining admittance into 
the port, compelled the Saracens to lurrender, the 4th 
of June, 1249. Haerlem was nearly burned down ia 
1347, and again in 1351. It alfo fullered feverely from 
the faftion of the Caes-cn-Broot, who feized the city, and 
pillaged it, in 1492. Albert, duke of Saxony, retook 
it, punilhed the principal mutineers, condemned the in¬ 
habitants in a fine of twenty-feven thoufand crowns, and 
took away their privileges. The magiftracy was com- 
pofed of an efcout, or baily, a penfionary, two burgo- 
mafters, feven echevins, and twenty-two common-coun¬ 
cil : the efcout was chofen once in four or five years by 
the echevins ; the burgomafters were eledfed every year 
by the common-council.
