Its northern boundary is the North Sea; on the south it is bounded by the Prussian do- minions ; on the east by Prussia and the course of the River Elbe, which divides it from Mecklenburg and Holstein; and on the west by Holland. A small detached portion of Hanover is separated from the rest of the kingdom by the little te...rritory of Brunswick. In the detached part of Hanover, to the southeast, is the metallif- erous group of the Hartz Mountains, their highest summit, the Brocken, famous for its spectral appearances — a gigantic repro- duction of the figures of the spectator and of surrounding objects upon the white veil of mist which envelops the mountain at early dawn. The kingdom of Hanover is formed out of the duchies formerly possessed by sev- eral families of the junior branch of the house of Brunswick. The reigning family derives its origin from the union of the Marquis d'Este, in the 11th century, with a wealthy princess of Bavaria, the issue of which received the surname of Guelph from his maternal ancestors, and inherited the dukedom of Bavaria.
