Product Description

Excerpt from Sentimental Sketches: Written During a Late Journey Through the North of Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway

At Bremen, I took leave of that travelling ale-house, but only to draw] on still more tediously, b the extra-(post. The fine high-road which Napoleon cause to be ma e through all this poor district, but which was not completed, and will now remain for a century as it is, presents a great monument to his memory. Posterity will have reason to remember him for it, when the vexations he occasioned to these countries are forgotten; as they will likewise the name even of Davoust, for the brid es he raised over the swamps of the Elbe, in the line from arhurg to Hamburg. In peaceable times, it should be the work of government to prosecute undertakings of public utility, without however bearing too heavily on individuals for that purpose.
