This book deals with the history the Germans.
The whole of Germany is thus bounded; separated from Gaul, from Rhoetia and
Pannonia, by the rivers Rhine and Danube; from Sarmatia and Dacia by mutual
fear, or by high mountains: the rest is encompassed by the ocean, which forms
huge bays, and comprehends a tract of islands immense in extent: for we have
lately known certain nations and kingdoms there, such as the war discovered.
The Rhine rising in the Rhoetian Alps from a summit altogether rocky and
perpendicular, after a small winding towards the west, is lost in the Northern
Ocean. The Danube issues out of the mountain Abnoba, one very high but very
easy of ascent, and traversing several nations, falls by six streams into the
Euxine Sea; for its seventh channel is absorbed in the Fenns.
The Germans, I am apt to believe, derive their original from no other people;
and are nowise mixed with different nations arriving amongst them; since
anciently those who went in search of new dwellings, travelled not by land,
but were carried in fleets; and into that mighty ocean so boundless, and, as I
may call it, so repugnant and forbidding, ships from our world rarely enter.
