<blockquote>Presburg, upon the Danube, the capital City of Upper [[Hungary]], that gives Name to a County, which is a Province of Hungary, between [[Moravia]], and [[Austria]], and the [[Danube, River|Danube]]. It's called in Latin Posonium, Pisonium, and Flexum, and by those of that Country Poson. It stands within eight Leagues of Vienna, in Austria, and as many from Newhausel and Comora, to the N. W. 70 from Raab. * Dr. Brown in his Travels says, it was the chief City of Hungary in the Emperor's possession, before he re-took Buda. That it's the place of Convention for the Estates, and since the Loss of Strigonium, the Metropolitan City; that it's pleasant, the Castle stately, beautifull and well situate on the top of a Hill, and all built of white Stone. Herein is kept the so highly esteemed Crown of Hungary commonly said to have been brought by an Angel from Heaven unto St. Stephen, their King, and of a different figure from other Crowns. The Garden of the Archbishop is very fair, the Walks, the Grotto's, the Figure of Jeronymo, the Labyrinth, Fish-ponds and Fountains are noble. In the Dome or cathedral Church lieth the body of St. Joannes Eleemosynarius, Bishop of Alexandria. The Jesuits have a part of the same Church and a Noble Apothecary's Shop full of Rareties. The Lutherans have also a Noble Church here. Raynaldi in Annal. Fumeus Hist. Hung.</blockquote>
