The Commanding officer of the troops in Trent, ftarted many difficulties
to us relative to our future journey through Germany and carried them fo
far, as to give us great uneafinefs. He even advifed our returning back
again to Leghorn, and taking our paflage from thence in fome fhip bound
to England. In fpite however of every thing he alledged to the contrary,
we refolved to purfue our plan, and agreeable thereto, this evening about
five o'clock left Trent, in our way to Infpruck. Betwixt thefe two cities

February 11. At Neumark we began to pay forty-five creutzers for each horfe (fixty
make a florin) the fame price was continued all through the Queen of
Hungary's dominions. On the other fide of the city of Trent, we took
notice, that both the men and women's drefles were made in the Italian
faftiion, but fince we left Trent, the German mode has taken place. The
male peafants all make ufe of gallowfes to keep up their breeches, and the
females wear a thick quilted worited cap upon their heads. They are alfo
remarkably large and indelicate.
W e flept laft night at Bolfang, (which for a Tirolefe town, is a very good
one) and this morning iet out again on our way for Infpruck. In the road
between Brixen and Mitlewald, we palled by an immenfe quantity of pine
trees, many of which being felled, had impregnated the very air with their
tarry fmell. During this poft too, we once more crofled the river Adige,
by a large bridge. Between Stertzingen and Brenner, we pafied by the
higheft of all the Alpine mountains we had yet feen in our whole journey >
