Dramatis Personae

________________________________________________
_ [Note: In the Travels of M. Beanjolin into Sweden, he mentions
having, in the year 1790, met carriages laden with the knapsacks of
Swedish soldiers, who had fallen in battle in Finland. These carriages
were escorted by peasants, who were relieved at every stage, and thus the
property of the deceased was conveyed from one extremity of the kingdom
to the other, and faithfully restored to their relations. The Swedish
peasants are so remarkably honest, that scarcely any thing is ever lost
in these convoys of numerous and ill-secured packages.]
