Vol. I. to ITALY.
There are very fine Houses at Inspruck, but the
manner after which they cover them, seems at
first very disagreeable to those who are not ac-
custom’d to them; for not only the Roofs are
ssat, but instead of rising to a Point, they are
reversed, and the Gutter runs into the middle of
the Roos.
After the Duke of Lorrain had the misfortune
to lose his Dominions, the Emperor gave him the
Government of Tirol; and the Residence of this
Prince was at Inspruck, in the Palace which for-
merly belong’d to the Arch-Dukes. This Palace
hath many Conveniencies, and is of a sufficient
extent, but it was built at several times, and is
neither beautiful nor regular. The place
call’d the Manage, which is also made use of for
Publick Shows, is almost like that at Munich,
but larger.
They (how’d us one thing that seems to be ve-
ry lingular, but tho’ I made a very diligent En-
quiry, I cou’d not meet with any Pgrson that
cou’d satisfie my Curiosity. The House which
they call the Chancery, looks into the Publick
Place in the midst of the City. The Portal of
this House, which resembles a little Porch on the
outside, has a Roof that leans against the Wall
of the House ; and is as they assur’d us,
cover’d with Plates of Gold. They gave
us the following account of it. A Rebellion,
and almost general Sedition being rais’d against
an Arch-Duke call’d Frederick, whom they par-
ticularize no otherwise; that Prince was forc’d
to hide himself, but not being willing to go far
off, that he might be ready to appear when his
Affairs Ihould be in a better Pollute ; he engag’d
himself in the Service of a Miller in a Village of
the neighbouring Mountain. In effetft, the Tu-
mult was quieted, and Frederick recall’d: But
