Description
Excerpt from Rural and Historical Gleanings From Eastern Europe
The wealth upon its surface is equalled by that beneath it. In the bowels of the mountains metals and precious stones of almost every de scription are to be found; the Hungarian gold and silver mines being the richest in Europe, and the fiery Opals the most in demand. The features of the country are not less remarkable than its productiveness. There the lover of nature meets with an endless variety of landscape, from the wild and gigantic Alpine scenery in the Carpathian and Matra mountains - Where the boar, Chamois, and bear have to this day their inaccessible recesses - to the simple grandeur of the unadorned plains between the Theiss and the Danube.
