84 SWEDENBORG’S TRAVELS AND DIARIES [Doc. 206.
August 8. I was in several churches ; there are five of them,
besides the Calvinistic Reformed and the Roman Catholic
churches. The cemeteries are all outside the town; there large
churchyards are situated.
August 9. I visited the royal stables, which contain up
wards of a hundred horses, carefully selected both with regard
to size and colour ; some are of a bluish shade ; there were
also a number of mules of considerable size. Another stable
is at Celle. I was in the so-called " Mummelgarten," or "Mont
brillant, " which is rather handsome with its living hedges,
trees trimmed in various forms, its orangery, fountains, etc.;
there is also a water-wheel turned by little brooks.
August 10 and 11. I studied matters connected with on
tology ; took a view of the situation of the town ; inspected its
ramparts, and saw every thing else that was interesting.
August 12. I travelled from Hanover to Osnabrück. On
the first day I came through a little town, called Wunstorf,
but did not go beyond Leese, the first station, where we stopped
for the night.
August 13. We crossed the Weser at Stolzenau, and after
wards came through Diepenau to Bohmte.
August 14. I arrived at Osnabrück, which belongs to the
Elector of Cologne. Three Roman Catholic and two Evan
gelical churches are in the place ; likewise Jesuit schools ; four
convents, of which one is in the town, called "Gertruden
Kloster," for ladies of the nobility ; a castle ; a garden outside
the town called "Petersburg." They have alternately a Ca
tholic and an Evangelical bishop. I travelled thence through
Ibbenbüren to Rheine.
August 15. I arrived at Bentheim, a town of no importance,
which is situated on a mountain ; it is crowned by an old
castle, and belongs to Count von Bentheim ; it is garrisoned
by soldiers from Cologne.
August 16. I then proceeded through Delden to Deventer,
which is a large town in the Dutch province of Upper Yssel.
After crossing the river Yssel I came to Voorthuizen, and
then through Ammersfort to Naarden ; thus coming from
the province of Upper Yssel through Geldern to Holland.
Naarden is the best fortress in all the seven United Provinces;
