From three different quarters; from Bubenetsch northward; from the Upland of St.Lawrence (famed WEISSENBERG, or White-Hill) westward; and from the Ziscaberg eastward (Hill of Zisca, where iron Zisca posted himself on a grand occasion once),--which latter is a broad long Hill, west end of it falling sheer over Prag; and on another point of it, highest point of all, the Praguers have a strong battery and works.

The Prag guns otherwise are not too effectual; planted mostly on low ground.

By much the best Prag battery is this of the Ziscaberg.
