The country is a tableland crossed by mountains and lies chiefly in the basin of the Danube. It is a busy agricultural state: half the soil is tilled; the other half is under grass, planted with vineyards and forests. Salt, coal, and iron are widely distributed and wrought. The chief manufactures are of beer, coarse linen, and woollen fabrics. There are universities at Munich, Wurzburg, and Erlangen. Munich, on the Isar, is the capital; Nuremberg, where watches were invented, and Angsburg, a banking centre, the other chief towns.
