Excerpt from Germany in 1831, Vol. 2 Potsdam contains about inhabitants, with a garrison of nearly men. Frederick the Great, the common mechanics of Potsdam live beneath porticoes and colonnades, that vie with those of Greece and Rome in their best days; while the many Splendid edifices which he required for the constant exercise and the comfort of his army, which he always kept around him, give to this town the aspect of a miniature Berlin another town of palaces. The streets, like those of Berlin, are broad and regular. Many of them are planted with trees, which are beautifully ornamental, while, as a relief from noise, and to gratify still more the love of ease, wooden railways of about thirty inches broad, are laid along all the principal avenues, leading from the old Palace in the town, to the new Palaces in the suburbs. This is certainly a luxury, but it is one which could not be transplanted to the crowded cities of Great Britain.
