Olaus Magnus specifies among its visitors ' Ootid, Suedi, Eussi seu Beuthini, Dani, Prussi, Angli, Scoti, Flandri, Galli, Finni, Vandali, Saxones Hispani. ' A code of laws, styled ' The Supreme Maritime Law of Wisby, ' was long of paramount authority with seamen on the waters. The town contains about 4300 inhabitants, lodged mostly in poor cabins, but within an ancient wall, by the side of costly buildings, and in connection with well-paved streets, provided for the accommodation of full 50, 00...0. The wall, built in the year 1288, thirty feet high, is entire, as are nearly all the foi-ty-five towers upon it. The ruined churches, eighteen in number, are most interesting objects to the antiquary ; and supply models of the style of building, ornament, and workmanship of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. t O No specimens so entire of equal date are to be found in England. The Helige Ands Kirken, or Church of the Holy Ghost, a small octagonal structure, built in 1046, has a round massive Saxon arch for the main entrance, with windows and other arches in the same style.
