Demorest's Family Magazine. February 1886. Vol. 17, No. 4 DEMOREST'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE. 223 granted liberty- of trade and the rights of duty and coin, so that in the eleventh century Nuremberg must already have become an im­ portant town. Its history for several centuries was one of warfare between the governing families, who, as they acquired wealth and power, took the title and put on the state of princes, and the differ­ ent emperors and labor guilds, the first fighting for possession and unity in their dominions, the second for civic rights, and privileges guaranteed them by successive emperors and rulers. Nuremberg was a favorite place of residence with many kings, from the Em­ peror Conrad III., who gave a grand levee here in 1147, to Freder­ ick Barbarossa, and Ludwig der Bayer (Louis the Bavarian), who conferred upon it many privileges of trade, and died in 1347, very deeply mourned. In the fourteenth century the town was enlarged, and its bound­ ary extended to the fortifications, which consisted of massive walls with round towers at intervals, and a moat thirty-five feet deep. These ramparts encircled the city, but some parts have recently been removed to make way for " modern improvements." During this period also the Church of Our Lady (Frauen-kirche) was erect­ ed, also the Schone Brunnen (beautiful fountain) by Meister Hein­ rich der Balter, and the nave of St. Sebalds. A beginning was made to pave the streets, and the first stone bridge was erected. A curious law promulgated by the emperor (Karl IV.), successor to King Ludwig, was called the “ Golden Bull,” and was the first, or fundamental law of the German Empire. It was framed in Nuremberg in 1356, and is still extant, kept in the Museum at Frankfort. The law obliged every German Emperor to spend the first day of his reign at Nuremberg. King Karl seems to have liked the busy, opulent, prosperous city, for he favored it greatly, and his son Wenzel was born here in the Burg and baptized in a metal font at St. Sebalds, the first ever cast here, and which still stands in the CHURCH OP ST. LAWRENCE, NUREMBERG. church before the high altar. A brother of Wenzel was. the Emperor Sigismund, whose portrait, by A l­ bert Dürer, stands beside that of Charlemagne, also by Dürer, in the gallery of the Germanic Museum. The ancient title of Burggraf was conferred first by the Emperor Sigismund upon a member of the Hohenzollern family of Nuremberg, and the title still ranks among those that are proud­ ly held by the present German Emperor. This was in the early part of the fifteenth century, dur­ ing which it reached a very high degree of emi- n e n c e in art and science, cul­ minating in the labors of such men as Martin B e h a i m , who constructed the first glob e— Hans Sachs, W olgem ut, Dürer, Adam Krafft, Pirk- heimer, Laben- wolf, Peter Vis-' eher, Veit Stoss, and others.

It is a sarcophagus of bronze in the form of a temple, with figures of the twelve Apostles in niches, twelve smaller figures of prophets and father’s above, and about seventy-five, still more reduced and fantastic figures of genii, mer­ maids, elves, and animals, which w ill repay the labor of looking for them. The structure rests upon bronze snails and dolphins, and shows on one side, the figure of the artist in his apron, and with his chisel in his hand. The great master in bronze, and his five sons, were engaged thirteen years upon the detail of this wonderful work ; its statuettes and ornamental portions, which are fine as the work put upon jewels and lace. The price paid by the adminis­ trators of the church property was 8,145 florins, and sixteen pence. The figures of the twelve Apostles are considered especially beau­ tiful, while at the base of the eight principal columns, are the figures of the four strong men— Samson, Hercules, Perseus and Nimrod; and allegoric figures of Strength, Temperance, Love and Justice.

  • Assessment Booklet
    Jenkins County School System Test Booklet: School City Practice Assessment C Name: Date: School City Practice Assessment C "A Gentleman Friend" A Gentleman Friend by Anton Chekhov 1 The charming Vanda, or, as she was described in her passport, the "Honorable Citizen Nastasya Kanavkin," found herself, on leaving the hospital, in a position she had never been in before: without a home to go to or a farthing in her pocket. What was she to do? 2 The first thing she did was to visit a pawn-broker's and pawn her turquoise ring, her one piece of jewelry. They gave her a ruble for the ring, but what can you get for a ruble? You can't buy for that sum a fashionable short jacket, nor a big hat, nor a pair of bronze shoes, and without those things she had a feeling of being, as it were, undressed. She felt as though the very horses and dogs were staring and laughing at the plainness of her dress. And clothes were all she thought about; the question what she should eat and where she should sleep did not trouble her in the least. 3 "If only I could meet a gentleman friend," she thought to herself, "I could get some money . There isn't one who would refuse me, I know." 4 But no gentleman she knew came her way. It would be easy enough to meet them in the evening at the "Renaissance," but they wouldn't let her in at the "Renaissance" in that shabby dress and with no hat.

    The Bostonians Henry James The Bostonians Henry James BOOK FIRST I “Olive will come down in about ten minutes; she told me to tell you that. About ten; that is exactly like Olive. Neither five nor fifteen, and yet not ten exactly, but either nine or eleven. She didn’t tell me to say she was glad to see you, because she doesn’t know whether she is or not, and she wouldn’t for the world expose herself to telling a fib. She is very honest, is Olive Chancellor; she is full of rectitude. Nobody tells fibs in Boston; I don’t know what to make of them all. Well, I am very glad to see you, at any rate.” These words were spoken with much volubility by a fair, plump, smiling woman who entered a narrow drawing-room in which a visitor, kept waiting for a few moments, was already absorbed in a book. The gentleman had not even needed to sit down to become interested: apparently he had taken up the volume from a table as soon as he came in, and, standing there, after a single glance round the apartment, had lost himself in its pages. He threw it down at the approach of Mrs. Luna, laughed, shook hands with her, and said in answer to her last remark, “You imply that you do tell fibs. Perhaps that is one.” “Oh no; there is nothing wonderful in my being glad to see you,” Mrs. Luna rejoined, “when I tell you that I have been three long weeks in this unprevaricating city.” 1 The Bostonians Henry James “That has an unflattering sound for me,” said the young man.
