Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

We know well that this is impossible, but we so not desire it the less for that. Are not our most i rrealizable desires the most ardent? Doubtless−−and this is our great misery−−doubtless we cannot escape from ourselves. We are condemned, irrevocably, to see all things reflected in us with a mournful and desolating monotony. For this very reason we t hirst after the unknown and aspire to what is beyond us. We must have the unusual. We are asked, 'What do you wish?' And we reply, 'I wish something else.' What we touch, what we see, is nothing: we are drawn toward the intangible and the invisible." It is a philosophy of disillusion, the graceful sigh of an Epicurean who has concurred in the wisdom of Heraclitus: an Epicurean, however, in whose wisdom is the fragrance of compassion and understanding, and who has achieved to the dignity that is incap able alike of enthusiasm and despair.

    Fall 2015 CERVANTES' DON QUIXOTE Prof. Julio Baena Syllabus

    Fall 2015 SPAN 3700: SELECTED READINGS. SPANISH LITERATURE IN TRANSLATION. CERVANTES’ DON QUIXOTE Prof. Julio Baena Office: McKenna 24 Office hours: Mondays 10-12; Wednesdays 1-3, and by appointment e-mail address: [email protected] Syllabus Don Quixote de la Mancha is one of the most important books ever written. No literary critic in the world, or cultural critic, or even philosopher fails to mention it, to analyze it to interpret it. It has been influential to thinkers from Lukács to Foucault to Bakhtin to Girard to the Frankfurt School, and to writers from Sterne to Nabokov to Borges to Flaubert. No other book in the world, except for the Bible, has been translated to more languages, or undergone more editions and reprints, or generated so many books and articles about it. It is, of course, a novel, the first modern novel according to most critics, a herald of modernity, but it is also a book that scrutinizes the human psyche, the nature of empire and domination, the reality of the real, or the way in which it is reality that imitates fiction as much as the other way around. The purpose of this course is to read and comment this one book. Or it can be argued that it is two books, because Cervantes published Part I in 1605, and Part II in 1615… or it can be argued that it is three books, because a “fake” Don Quixote was published in 1614, which Cervantes incorporates in a brilliant intertextual exercise, or it can even be argued—following Borges—that we are dealing with an unlimited number of Don Quixotes.

    Van Tassell & Kearney Auction Mart Designation Report

    Landmarks Preservation Commission May 15, 2012; Designation List 38 LP-2205 VAN TASSELL & KEARNEY AUCTION MART, 126-128 East 13th Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1903-4; Jardine, Kent & Jardine, architects Landmark Site: Block 558, Lot 43, in part, consisting of the property on which the 1903-04 structure is located On September 7, 2006 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the Van Tassell & Kearney Auction Mart and the proposed designation of the related Landmark site. The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with provisions of law. Twenty-four people spoke in support of designation, including Council member Rosie Mendez and representatives of Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, State Senator Tom Duane, State Assembly member Deborah Glick, the Union Square Community Coalition, the Municipal Art Society, the Metropolitan Chapter of the Victorian Society in America, the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, the Society for the Architecture of the City, the Historic Districts Council, Landmark West! and the New York Landmarks Conservancy. Summary The former Van Tassell & Kearney auction mart is a three-story Beaux-Arts style building on the south side of East 13th Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues. Built in 1903-04, the handsome structure is one of the last remaining buildings in New York City that was erected for staging horse auctions. Designed by the New York architects Jardine, Kent & Jardine, the fifty-foot- wide red brick facade terminates in a rounded cornice, echoing the shape of the central window. Enlivened by four bull’s eye windows and limestone trim, the apex frames a projecting limestone element that originally supported a flagpole.
