n the Gothic style of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Sées has also an episcopal palace, several schools, and cotton factories. Pop. 5205.Ulrich Jaspar, a German traveller of some note, was born near Jever, on the 30th January 1767. He received an excellent education, first at Jever and subsequently at the University of Göttingen. Here he studied medicine, the natural sciences, agriculture, and political economy. He formed an acquaintance with Alexander Von Humboldt, who became afterwards such a distinguished traveller. Seetzen likewise gained the friendship of Heyne, Gatterer, Eichhorn, and Blumenbach, who encouraged him in his design of making the field of his enterprise Asia and Africa. He was recommended by Blumenbach to the notice of Baron Von Zach, who subsequently introduced him to the Duke of Gotha, by whom he was fitted out for his future travels, and had an annual sum allotted him for the prosecution of them. Seetzen accordingly set out on the 13th June 1802, with the intention of gathering all available information respecting the mathematical and physical sciences, the arts, statistics, geography, and archaeology. He directed his route by Vienna and Constantinople, at which cities he spent nearly a year in active preparation for his coming expedition. Having made his way as far as Haleb in the end of 1803, he there spent fifteen months in the study of Arabic. From Haleb he proceeded to Damascus, through Syria and Palestine, until he gained the deserts of Arabia. Thence proceeding northward he visited the region of Lebanon, and directed his course to the country east of the Jordan. We find him at Acro towards the end of 1806, whence he made excursions into Palestine, and finally crossed the isthmus of Suez and entered Egypt, where he remained for the next two years. Here he continued to collect, with his accustomed industry, manuscripts, archaeological, mineralogical, botanical, and zoological specimens for the museum of Gotha. Having externally espoused the Mohammedan faith, he next thought of visiting those places in Arabia to which Mohammedans alone have access. After various unsuccessful attempts, he at last succeeded in gaining Mecca and Medinah, where he spent some time in executing drawings and plans. Early in the year 1810, he set out for Mocha. A letter, dated November 17th of the same year, and addressed to Lindenau of Gotha, was the last authentic news received of this enterprising traveller. Mr Buckingham, in a letter to Von Hammer, dated from Mocha 1815, said that Seetzen had died suddenly at Taes in 1811, and it was currently reported that the unfortunate traveller had been removed by poison by order of the Imám of Sana. Nearly the whole of Seetzen's diary and collections were subsequently recovered, and were placed in the hands of Professor Kruse of Dorpat with a view to their publication.
