a large, strong, and populous town of Miffinia in Germany, with a castle, and a famous university. It is neat, and regularly built, and the streets are lighted in the night; it carries on a great trade, and has a right to stop and sell the merchandises designed to pass through it, and the country for 75 miles round has the same privilege. There are three great fairs every year; at the beginning of the year, Easter and Michaelmas, which last 15 days each. There are six handsome colleges belonging to the university, besides the private colleges. The townhouse makes an indifferent appearance, but the exchange is a fine structure. The town was taken by the king of Prussia in the late war, but given up by the peace in 1763. It is seated in a plain between the rivers Saale and Muld, near the confluence of the Playffe, the Elster, and the Barde. E. Long. 12° 55'. N. Lat. 51° 19'.
