396 InftruEiions to a Traveller.
At Bafil, lodge at the Three Kings, where you
will be well entertain’d, but at a dear Rate. See
the Cabinets of Rarities belonging to Mr. Tech,
and Mr. Mangold, the Logic Professor ; the Arse-
nal; the Hall where the General Council is held ;
the Statue of Munatius Blancas at the Town-house ;
the House where David George liv’d, who call’d
himself the Eternal Father ; * the Library of the
* must ap- University ; the Cannon, Fusils, and other Wind-
dd'n Arms, at John George Gintners House; the Gre^t
Council assembl’d; the College ; the House arid
Epitaph of Erajmus. The University was found-
ed by Pius II. Ann. 1460. If you can meet with
an Opportunity, it will be convenient to be pre-
sent at the Commencement of a Batchelor or
Mailer of Arts; at the Meeting of some of the
Tribes or Corporations; at the Wedding of some
rich Burgher; at the Publick Feast of the Magi-
ilrates, or that of the Professors of the Univer-
sity. They will give an Account of the Cere-
mony of the Eggs, and of the Race at Him-
n'mghen on Eafier-Monday.
Friburg in Brijgow on the little River Threfeim,
at the Foot of the Mountains of the Black Forefi,
was built about the Year 1180. by the same
Berchtold IV. Duke of Zeringhen, who built Bern
and the other s Friburg which I mention’d be-
-— There is an University here, which was
founded Ann. 1470. by Albert VI. Duke cfiAupria.
Bertius says, That the four molt remarkable
Things at Strasburg are, the Tower or Steeple of
the Cathedral, the Arsenal, the Unicorn’s Horn,
and the University: But, by his leave, I wou’d
take away the Horn, and put the Dial in its
place. Erasinus cou’d not find Expressions strong
enough to praise this City and its Inhabitants:
