The next day was agreeably fpent in a vifit to Mr.
Haill’s country feat, which is fituated about five Englifh
miles from Gottenburg, ‘The fituation is moft beautiful
and romantic ; it is environed with rocks of various {hapes,
which run in ridges for many miles; below, appears to
the view, a fine extenfive Lake, far exceeding thole of
either Cumberland or Weftmorland; it abounds in pike,
perch, trout and a variety of other fifh. The woods
confift chiefly of oak, horfe-chefnut, birch, and mountain-
afh, which grow tall but are flender, owing, I imagine, to
the very thin furface of foil. The cattle which we faw
here were, in general, fmall, the fheep, few and bad, their
cloathing more refembles hair than wool. The horfes are
{mall, like the welch ponies, but amazingly a@tive; their
common pofling is about nine or ten Englifh miles an
hour. The drivers are truly ridiculous both in manner
and appearance. They have no harnefs for their carriages
but ufe only ropes tied together with knots, which often
flip and impede your expedition; otherwife the velocity
would be beyond the traveller’s conception,
