Crop than the Soil of the richest Coun∣tries.
If Norway had not so many Sea
Towns very populous, and full of Stran∣gers,
the Corn growing there would be
sufficient, without any Importation, to
feed its own Inhabitants. There are
some districts up in Norway, as Hede∣mar••en,
Todten, Gulbrandsdalen, &c.
which in Fertility and good Corn, do
not yield to any part of Danmark.
It will not be improper here to re∣mark
two things, which the Author
formerly advanced, in which Norway
clearly convinces him to the contrary.
First, p. ••1. There is no other Town or
City belonging to the King of Danmark
much better than St. Albans; whereas
Norway is full of large Sea Towns, such
as Bergen, Christiania, Christiansand,
Trundhiem, Frideriksstadt, &c.
Secondly, he says, p. 34. That the
King of Danmark has not in all his Do∣minions
one Navigable River for Vessels:
But in Norway are abundance of great
Rivers and Friths, running far into the
Country, as Sarp near Frederickstadt,
••ramen, Lomen, Aggers-Elf near Chri∣stiania,
Nideren near Trundhiem, &c.
