Vasilkoff is within a day's Journey from Kioff; It stands
on the Declivity of a Hill; and is the last Town belonging
to Russia in that Part; The Place is but small tho'
well fortified, & provided with a Strong Garrison &c
After about an hour's Ride you come to the Borders
of Poland, where is an Out-Post, and a Strong
Guard of Russian Soldiers. This Place is called
Iastave, very necessary in time of war. The
Territory of Poland is divided here from That
of Russia by a deep Ditch drawn across the
Middle of a spacious Plain, along which is to
be seen neither House, nor Tree till you
come to Belozerkoff, the first Town belonging
to Poland in that Part.
