Full Text
The Alb, the passage of which by the army of Moreau has been officially announced, is not a river. It is from the mountains, of the Black Forest that the chain of mountains of the Alb, or Alp of Suabia rises itself, running in a direction clearly parallel to the course of the Danube. Between Koenigsbronn and Geislingen their summits are most elevated, and here are the sources of different rivers, which run in opposite directions. From thence they gradually diminish towards the Danube along the Brenz. They occupy a space of about twelve German miles in length and three or four in breadth. They are covered with woods and present very rural landscapes and difficult communications. They are connected by different branches with the Black mountains with those of the country of Darmstadt and of Franconia.
