a rich and considerable city of Sweden, in Upland, with a famous university, and an archbishop's see. The town is pretty large, and as straight as a line; but most of the houses are of wood, covered with birch-bark, with turf on the top. On an eminence, to the south of the town, is a ruined castle. Those that view the town from hence would take it to be a garden, whose streets represent the alleys; and the houses, which are covered with turf, the grass-plats. It was formerly the residence of the kings, and is now the usual place where they are crowned. It is seated on the river Sala, over which there are two bridges. It is 27 miles north-west of Stockholm. E. Long. 17° 48' N. Lat. 59° 52'.
