In Lauenbnrg there are no towns of more than 5,000 inhabitants. Altona, as the most populous town, might appear to be naturally the capital or Holstein; but Kiel, only about one-third its size, has alwavs been the oentre of the German movement in the Duchies and of hostility to Denmark. It is a natural port, and its fine situation on an arm of the Baltic, and its university, among other oauaes, have made it the favourite residence of the Mite of the moneyed and titled aristocracy of the country.
