Sect. 4. The North-European Plain. Under this name is comprehended the large flat expanse of country bounded on the north by the Baltic, the North Sea, and the Channel separating England from the Continent, and on the south by several groups of mountains, of which the Hartz and the Weser mountains are the most northern; to the east and west of these two ranges, the elevated country retreats more and more from the coast, and thus the plain becomes wider at each extremity; but there, however, a projection is formed by the Danish peninsula, which, as well as the Danish islands (excepting Bornholm), Riigen, and some small ones lying off the north coasts of Holland and France, must from their natural characters be combined with this region.

Thus in the N.W. parts rise the range of hills called the Montagues d'Arree, having a mean elevation of 500 feet (the highest point 1000); then to the east f...
