1782. They told that they live in dark forests, and that there they look ugly, having animal-like faces and shaggy hair, and that they roam about like wild beasts. They are quite numerous, but they do not dare to inflict anything like this on their own companions, who in such a case would be allowed to treat them cruelly almost at pleasure - at the thought of which they shudder, so they dare not inflict anything like this on them. They also roam about all alone, and are thereby kept under restraint.
