a province of Sweden, at the end of the gulf of the same name. It is divided into two parts called east and west Bothnia, the former of which belongs to Finland. West Bothnia is full of mountains; the earth is sandy, and yet a scarcity of provisions is seldom known. Cattle and game are too common, salmon and a sort of herrings too plenty, and the trade of skins is too gainful, that the inhabitants can command what they want from their neighbours. There are only two towns worth mentioning, viz. Tornea and Uma. The inhabitants of this province are Protestants; and are a civil well-behaved people.
