Excerpt from On the Heights, Vol. 1 of 3 Matins were being sung in the chapel of the royal summer residence. This residence, not far distant from the palace, was situated on a slight declivity in the middle of the park. The eastern side of the hill was planted far up with vines, and its summit crowned with magnificent beeches. In the park there were maple-trees, plane-trees, and elms, spreading out their rich foliage by the side of pines and fir-trees, even the Siberian stone-pine had been brought here from the highlands, and, by its thick needle tufts, showed that it had become indigenous to the soil. On the level meadows stood single lofty firtrees, with their rich growth of foliage to their very top. Shrubberies of various leaves and flowers presented a refreshing appearance. Artistic arrangement was evident in the whole design. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
