a city in the Dutch province of Utrecht, seated on the river Ems. E. Long. 5° 4'. N. Lat. 52° 14'. The most remarkable objects are, the townhouse; the grand palace, which is triangular; the public walk, planted with trees; and the great church, dedicated to St George. The land to the east and south of this city is very fruitful; on the north there is nothing but pasture ground, and on the west it is woody. Not far from hence is a mountain called Amersfort-berg, on which is planted a vista of trees, which reaches to Utrecht.
