Стр. 202 - DIBDIN In ancient times — that is to say, upward of three centuries ago — the city of Augsburg was probably the most populous and consequential in the kingdom of Bavaria. It was the principal residence of the noblesse, and the great mart of commerce. Dukes, barons, nobles of every rank and degree, became domiciled here. A thousand blue and white flags streamed from the tops of castellated mansions, and fluttered along the then almost impregnable ramparts. It was also not less remarkable for the...
Стр. 345 - To our admiration the organ burst forth with a power of intonation (every stop being opened) such as I had never heard exceeded. As there were only a few present, the sounds were necessarily increased by being reverberated from every part of the building ; and for a moment it seemed as if the very dome would have been unroofed and the sides burst asunder. We could not hear a word that was spoken ; when, in a few succeeding seconds, the diapason stop only was opened . . . and how sweet and touching...
Стр. 99 - What a lesson for dabblers in criticism and readers of reviews ! He said that he was first put upon collations of Greek MSS. by our Dr. Musgrave, for his edition of " Euripides ;" and that he dated from that circumstance his first and early love of classical research. This attachment had increased upon him as he became older ; had " grown with his growth, and strengthened with his strength," and had induced him to grapple with the unsettled, and in parts difficult texts of Oppian, Epictelut, and...
Стр. 234 - ... what shall I say of these ; all the fruit of the munificent spirit of Maximilian ? Truly I would pass over the whole with an indifferent eye to gaze upon a simple altar of pure gold, the sole ornament of the prison of the unfortunate Mary Queen of Scots, which Pope Leo the Eleventh gave to William the Fifth Elector of Bavaria.
Стр. 44 - ... letter is not of the time; namely, of 1440. It should rather seem to be of the sixteenth Century. Perhaps at the commencement of it. ... The younger Schweighaeuser thinks my doubts about its age not well founded; conceiving it to be a coaeval document. But this does not affect its authenticity, äs it may have been an accurate and attested copy — of an original which is now perished. Certainly the whole book has very much the air of a copy: and besides, would not the Originals have been upon...
Стр. 164 - ... almost the immediate approach or descent to that city — the last in the Suabian territories, and which is separated from Bavaria by the River Danube. I caught the first glance of that celebrated river (here of comparatively trifling width) with no ordinary emotions of delight. It recalled to my memory the battle of Blenheim, or of Hochstedt; for you know that it was across this very river, and scarcely a score of miles from Ulm, that the victorious Marlborough chased the flying French and Bavarians...
Стр. 202 - ... streamed from the tops of castellated mansions, and fluttered along the then almost impregnable ramparts. It was also not less remarkable for the number and splendor of its religious establishments. Here was a cathedral, containing twenty-four chapels ; and an abbey or monastery (of Saints Ulric and Afra) which had no rival in Bavaria for the size of its structure and the wealth of its possessions. This latter contained a Library, both of MSS. and printed books, of which the recent work of Braun...
Стр. 525 - ... streets of Vienna, in a carriage of state drawn by four or six horses, receiving the homage of the passing multitude. To return to the Schonbrunn Palace. I have already told you that it is vast, and capable of accommodating the largest retinus •of courtiers. It is of the gardens belonging to it, that I would now only wish to say a word. These gardens are really worthy of the residence to which they are attached. For what is called ornamental, formal, gardening — enriched by shrubs of rarity,...
Стр. 387 - It proved to be most exquisite. The past labours of the day, together with the growing heat, had given a relish to everything which I tasted, and in the full flow of my spirits I proposed ' Long life and happy times to the present members, and increasing prosperity to the monastery of Qottwic.
