The Gorales are a fierce, highland race, constantly armed with
the axe, with which they can strike an object at the distance of forty yards; and they
brandish this weapon even at their dances and festivals. Till repressed by the vigorous
measures of the Austrian government, they were accustomed to make most formidable raids
upon the low country adjoining.
