E. Mitchell sculp't name in Switzerland, adjacent to Neufchatel and Vaud, and united with another named La Grua de Fonds. Both these districts occupy some valleys formed by the mountains of Jura; the greatest part of which not many years ago was one continued forest, though now converted into fine pasture ground filled with flourishing villages. The inhabitants of these districts are remarkable for their industry, and excel in many mechanical arts, particularly in watch and clock making; 40,000 watches, it is said, are made in a year.
