[161] He died in April, 1820.

[162] [NOT so—­as I understand.  It is re-established in its previous form.]

[163] So I heard him called everywhere—­in Austria and Bavaria—­by men of
    every degree and rank in society; and by professional men as
    frequently as by others.  I recollect when at Landshut, standing at the
    door of the hotel, and conversing with two gallant-looking Bavarian
    officers, who had spent half their lives in the service:  one of them
    declaring that “he should like to have been opposed to
    WELLINGTON—­to have died even in such opposition, if he could
    not have vanquished him.”  I asked him, why?  “Because (said he) there
    is glory in such a contest—­for he is, doubtless, the FIRST CAPTAIN OF
    THE AGE.”

[164] Dr. Bright, in Travels in Lower Hungary, p. 90-3, has an
    animated passage connected with this once flourishing, but now
    comparatively drooping, city.  In the Bibl.  Spenceriana, vol.
    iii. p. 261-3, will be found an extract or two, from Schedel’s
    Nuremberg Chronicle, fol. c., &c. edit. 1493, which may serve
    to give a notion of the celebrity of Nuremberg about three centuries
    and a half ago.

[165] Or rather, walls which have certain round towers, with a projecting
    top, at given intervals.  These towers have a very strong and
    picturesque appearance; and are doubtless of the middle part of the
    fifteenth century.  In Hartman Schedel’s time, there were as many of
    them as there were days in the year.

[166] [A large and most beautiful print of this interesting Shrine has
    been published since the above was written.  It merits every
    commendation.]

[167] This is a striking and interesting print—­and published in England
    for 1_l._ 1_s._ The numerous figures introduced in it are
    habited in the costume of the seventeenth century.

[168] The author of this work was Franciscus de Retz.  As a first
    essay of printing, it is a noble performance.  The reader may see the
    book pretty fully described in the Bibl.  Spenceriana, vol.
    iii. p. 489.

[169] See p. 320 ante.

[170] See a copy of it described at Paris; vol. ii. p. 126.

[171] See p. 182 ante.

[172] [He is since DEAD.]

[173] Only three livraisons of this work have, I believe, been yet
    published:—­under the title of “Gravures en Bois des anciens
    maitres allemands tirees des Planches originales recueillies par
    IULIAN ALBERT DERSCHAU. Publiees par Rodolphe Zecharie Becker.” 
    The last, however, is of the date of 1816—­and as the publisher has
    now come down to wood-blocks of the date of 1556, it may be submitted
    whether the work might not advantageously cease?  Some of the blocks in
    this third part seem to be a yard square.
