But, first, to correct an _erreur de plume_ of DR. BELL'S. He says, in stating the position of Vineta (Vol. ii., p. 283.), "opposite the small town of _Demmin, in Pomerania_." DR. BELL has mis-written the name: there is no such place on the Baltic. The real name is _Damerow, on the Isle of Usedom_. A little lower he remarks, speaking of Wollin, "No _rudera_, no vestiges of ancient grandeur, now mark the spot; not even a tradition of former greatness." In this I think DR. BELL will find (and, I am sure, will readily allow, in the same spirit of good faith in which I make my observations) that he is in error, from the following narrative. The gentleman who has kindly given me, by word of mouth, the following particulars, is a native of Wollin, and of one of the most ancient and noble families in that island, a relative of that Baron Kaiserling who was the Cicero of Frederick the Great, but of an elder branch of that family, the Counts of Kaiserling. M. de Kaiserling states that, when a young man, in his native town, he took a delight in reading the records of its bygone glory, and in tracing out the ruins in the neighbourhood of the town, extending to the distance of about one English mile from its outskirts. The foundations of houses and tracks of streets[1] are still exposed in the operations of agriculture, and any informant has in his possession several Byzantine and Wendish coins which he at that time picked up. He has likewise seen a Persian coin, which was found in the same neighbourhood by a friend. Having been led by circumstances to examine the evidence _pro_ and _con._ in this question, he has come to the conclusion that Wollin and Julin or Jumne are identical. He treats the story of Vineta as a nursery tale and a myth. [Footnote 1: Particularly the Salmarks (Wendish for Fishmarkets), as they were called.] From the recently-published work on Wollin (_Die Insel Wollin und das Seebad Misdroy. Historische Skizze von Georg Wilhelm von Raumer_: Berlin, 1851) I extract the following account of Wollin in 1070, as I think it important to have all the best evidence attainable[2]:--
