less rigid than in Schools and Colleges but it is
uniform, so consistent, that accompshes with
all its purposes

Tobacco IS cultivated to some extent, and is almost The
only article which the soil produces. IL is Of very
inferior quality, and has peculiarly offensive flavor
but The peasants, who alone it, think it of The
rarcst Injuries which the world affords.
The Kingdom Of Hanover embraces area of II 100
square miles, and contains population 600 600 inha
btants The soil in the Northern part of it is sandy
covered with extensive heaths but IN the centre of IT,
near the Harz, land is fertile and yields fine crops oil

In Hanover, the duty Tobacco, manufactured,
is not much by about two. thirds in Prussia
only little more than Spanish dollar on The 100
