58 CLAUSHOLM. Chap. XXXII.
“ pastilles à brüler” along the morass, would have
reminded me of parts of Dorsetshire : every house is
protected by a wood; every village nestles in a dell.
The Jutland clergy are not badly paid on an
average : he of Hornslet, the village church we last

the Government, partly by the community, an
apothecary and doctor: gymnastics too are the fashion,

family, great people once in these parts. In the year
1404 one of this family, Jens Brok, was slain by
