In Poland the Officers of the State and Household have no salaries nor fees[68]; but are content with the honour, unless the King chose to reward them with a _Starostie_, a kind of Fiefs inherent in the Crown for this purpose. [68] See Letters concerning the present state of Poland, printed for T. Payne, 1773, Letter iii. p. 57. At the Court of Turin, the salaries of the Officers of the Court are extremely small, and every way inadequate to their rank. Frugality and œconomy, exercised in a Royal manner, are the characteristics of that Court; insomuch as that, if the Officers of State had not an income arising from their patrimony, their salaries would not afford them food and raiment[69].

The Emperor of Germany has one very singular prerogative, very inconvenient to the inhabitants of Vienna, that of taking to himself the _first floor_ of every house in the City (a few privileged places excepted) for the use of the _Officers of his Court and Army_; so that, on this account, says my Author[70], "Princes, Ambassadors, and Nobles, usually inhabit the second stories; and the third, fourth, and even fifth floors (the houses being large and high) are well fitted up for the reception of opulent and noble families." The houses being so large, a single floor suffices for most of the principal and largest families in the City. [70] Dr. Burney, in his Present State of Munich, in Germany, vol. I. pp. 205, 295. For particulars relative to the Court of Denmark, it may be sufficient to refer to the account given by Lord Molesworth, who resided several years as Envoy Extraordinary from King William III.
