Journey through a fine country,and, as before, with de-
lightful roads. I cannot omit a proper commendation of,
this attention to travellers. Indeed the advantage muft be
great to every country where fo much care is taken of the
public roads. Tho’ we have no great reafon to complain
in England of ourpublicturnpike roads, yet nothing there-
is comparable to thefe; fwamps, morafles &c. are all
equally made good; and thofe fine woods and gravel roads
have fo beautiful. an effe€t that the traveller might fre-
quently {uppofe himlelf entering the avenue or approach
_ to fome great Manfion.. We flopped ata very neat town
called Lidkioping near the beautiful Lake Wenner which
is the largeft in Sweden being about one hundred miles
long, and feventy-five broad. The river Gotha runs from
hence by Gottenburg to the Sea. At Trolhetta there
are feveral catarafls of great height and magnificence.
In one place it falls over a rock fixty feet high with
fuch a noife that itis heard-at the diftance of two
hundred furlongs. The timber that is floated down this
river falls over this precipice with fuch impetu-
ofity. that it difappears: for a. confiderable time before
it ‘makes its appearance again. [he bed into whicli
this cataraé&t falls has been founded by. lines of feyeral
litindred. fathom< but .never “difcovered, ..The* fame.
