- 4 DRIVE AROUND THE GIT.
The NEXT day we took drive around the
city to see the sights, ylsiung tlrst u church
with very large old tower which has, IN
stead OF slnircase, wide spiral inclined
plane, by which 1t Is said Peter tho Great
drove to the top'with coach and four; and
We taw no reason why lie should not have
have had. some difficulty In turning round,
for the staircase ends suddenly within q few
feet Of the top. Since be nsccnded, no ono
has been allowed to ride or drive up It. We
then drove over the river, pushing on our left,
as we crossed the bridge, the great pleasure
garden Of Tiyol!, which Is partly situated on
the outside Of one Of the Immense mounds Of
earth which form the walls Of the city. It Is
the great summer resort Of the citizens. AZ
ter long drive We reached the celebrated
road on TIE sea shore which makes
the city 80. pleasant IN summer. The
cmbankment on which tile road IL laid out i5
one Of The onter delences of the citadel, the
principal defence Of the city. and is separated
from It by ., large moat full of water The
citadel IS fortress formed by large mounds
Of earth which rise about any or sixty feet
aboye tue wnter of the moat. The mounds,
which are planted with, trees, give It
4 picturesque appearance and make it an Of
namc4:t as well as defence for the city, The
outer fertilization Is between the moat and
The sea; tho drive is the highest part Of II,
behind which the cannon arc placed. This IS
the great drive Of Copcnhagcn; which well
deserves its celebrity, for althorg II We saw IT
In winter, Il ,s:s plain to see that in sarnms,
when the trees are green, With The sp1cnliy
view OF The buy it Affords. where the smalc
remains Of the Danish feet nro seen restlad
at anchor, it must be one Of thl
most charming drives In the world
and gives an idea Of what tie drive on the.
On our wny through tho city We pas=4d
through the squaro in which the Kings pal
ace I: situated. 1T contains four paiaces. all
mike, and belonging to the Grown. In the
