Extract of a letter from Vienna, in Germany, dated February
21, 1783. A race of men called Bohemians, who are dispersed
all over Hungary, have carried profligacy so far, as to
oblige the government strictly to prohibit their living
together. . . [15 lines] The pedlars, or wandering traders,
who travelled with boxes of goods from town to town, were
chiefly the victims of those monsters, who way-laid them,
and having dragged them into the woods, butchered them in
the most ferocious manner, to the sound of their musical
instruments:. . . [12 lines]
