Volume 2 · 118 words · 1797 Edition

a town of the Low Countries, in the province of Guelderland, capital of Veluwe. It was adorned with several fine churches, particularly that of St Walburg and of St Eusebius; which last has a very high tower. The town has five gates, and several fine ramparts, part of which are washed by the Rhine, and the other parts have wide and deep ditches before them. There is a canal made between this place and Nineguen, at the expense of both towns, on which boats pass backwards and forwards to carry on a trade between them. The air is very healthful; on which account it is inhabited by persons of distillation. E. Long. 5. 55. N. Lat. 52. 0.
