308 Route 23. LIEGE. From Mechlin

Environs : Immediately outside the walls, inthe Convent of
S. Julian, is buried Sir John Mandeville, the Eng. traveller,
who died here in 1372. The Chapel-still stands, but there is no-
thing to show which is his grave. :

Good views, which will well repay the trouble taken by the
tourist in climbing up, may be obtained from the heights above
the town, especially from the old citadel of S. Walburge. Ano-
ther. excellent point of view is the Fort Chartreuse on the height
called le Cornillon: the junction of the valleys of the Ourthe,
Meuse and Vesdre close to the town, with the outline of the Ar-
dennes in the distance form avery agreeable prospect. A fine
view may also be obtained from the gardens of M. J acob Makoy,
7, Rue de Joie (South), one of the most celebrated horticulturists
in Belgium.

FLEMALLe, 6 m., Cuoxier, 7 m., and ArcremonT, 9 1/2 m. from
Liege on the road to Huy, are celebrated for their Castles; see
Rte. 40.

The Castles of Grexuz and Wanruske, 10 m. from Liege, are
also worth visiting.

At Grary, 1 1/2 m. from the Porte S. Laurent, ona height above
the valley of Sclessin, is the desecrated Chu rch of an anct. Priory
founded in 1147 by Siv Gerard and Sir Antony de Bolzée, 2 bro-
thers descended from the family of Warfusée by the branch of
Awans, and consecrated, 22 July 4151, by Bp. Henry If. The
Chancel is an interesting specimen of Romanesque architecture ;
the body of the church was rebuilt in the XVIT cent. on a much
smaller scale than the original edifice. Here may still be scen,
in the farmyard, the incised slab of Sir Antony de Bolzée, 1148,
the earliest in Belgium.

In the Church of Hocnovt, 6 1/2 m. from Liege, onl. of road
to S. Trond, are an incised slab of a knight, Sir Eustace,
surnamed le Franc Homme de Hognoul, 1260, and another of a
knight and lady with brass incrustations, 1438.

AncrnTeav, on the Meuse, § m. below Liege; see Rte 27.

The Castle of Sarvz, 4 1/2 m. from Liege, on rt. of road to Visé,
contains some finely carved chimney-pieces.

The Gastles of Micurroux, 5 1/2 m., and of WectmonT, 6 m.,
andthe Church of Herve, 9 m., from Liege, on the road to Aix-
la-Chapelle, are all worth visiting; the latter contains a fine paint-
ing of the Doctors of the Church discussing the doctrine of the
Real Presence. The view from the summit of CazyremonT, 6 m.
from Liege, is extensive and fine; here isa small chapel, ded. to
the B. V., erected on the site of the castle of a cruel and rapacious
knight, demolished by Bp. Notger : on either side of the pathway
leading up to it are small stone niches containing groups repr. the
