“Let a wall of rocks be imagined from three to six hundred feet in height, and rising between France and Spain, so as physically to separate the two kingdoms–let us fancy this wall curved like a crescent, with its convexity towards France. Lastly, let us suppose, that in the very middle of the wall, a breach of 300 feet wide has been beaten down by the famous ‘Roland’, and we may have a good idea of what the mountaineers call the ‘BRECHE DE ROLAND.'”–“Raymond’s Pyrenees.”
