Volume 1 · 100 words · 1778 Edition

a city in the Netherlands, in the province of Utrecht, seated on the river Ems, E. long. 5° 20'. N. lat. 52° 14'. The most remarkable things are, The town-house; the grand palace, which is triangular; the public walk, planted with trees; and the great church, dedicated to St George. The land to the east and south of this city is very fruitful; on the north there is nothing but pasture-ground, and on the west it is woody. Not far from hence is a mountain called Amersfort-berg, on which they have planted a vista of trees, which reaches to Utrecht.
