b o o k As we approached the capital, the country was extremely
. . wild and rocky, and ftill more thinly inhabited : I fcarcely
ever obferved a more defolate, yet more pi&urefque, region
than the environs o f Stockholm. We entered that city on
the evening of the 20th o f February; and immediately
drove to an inn in the center of the town, where we met with
excellent apartments, and- every accommodation we could
.defire, to alleviate the fatigues of our late journey.
