The inhabitants of the most northern regions are extremely pale and lean, redhaired, a clear skin, of a middle stature, broad-shoulder'd, eyes of a fea-green, a weak voice, but far from delicate. The Germans and English are generally fair. The northern differ greatly in their eyes from the fouthern people, thefe being black eyed, whereas the eyes of the former are either of a fea-green, or a skyblue; thofe of the middle region again are not unlike goats eyes, of a dull brown yellow.
