Historical Description

Lituania is a most large Province, fenny and woody, so as in summertime there is no passage into it; but in the winter when the Fens are frozen, Merchants trade with the Inhabitants. The chief Cities are, 1. Vilna, the Metropolitan City, the Seat of a Bishop, and an University. 2. Vilcomire 3. Brestia. They have plenty of Honey, Wax, wilde Beasts, and rich Furrs, but they scarce know the use of money.
