city of Bavaria, the capital of the circle of the Upper Danube, celebrated in all the periods of German history. It is built on a beautiful plain between the rivers Lech and Wertach, and is surrounded with walls and ditches; but these form very imperfect defences against an enemy. The city is generally ill built, and most of the streets are narrow; but the Max street is very Augsburg magnificent, both for its breadth and the grandeur of the Confession buildings. The public buildings especially are very noble edifices. The inhabitants amount to 28,900, of whom 16,800 are Catholics, and 12,060 Lutherans. The manufactures are respectable, and produce, though in diminished quantities, silver goods, linen, parchment, tobacco, leather, paper, silk goods, looking-glasses, soap, sealing-wax, and printed cottons. The commerce is still very respectable, as this city is the centre of communication between the south of Germany and Italy. Long. 11. 0. 14. E. Lat. 48. 21. 24. N.
