"So am I. Till my boat sails. I thought before I left I'd look at a merrier end of France. By Gosh!

"I heard they made you a Brigadier. Yes? And you've chucked it?"

The privilege is more important in officially marking the rank of a school as a Studium Generale, i.e. a place of higher education, in which instruction was given, by a considerable number of masters, in at least one of the Faculties of Arts, Theology, Law, and Medicine, and to which students were attracted, or at least invited, from all countries.

Moreover, he swiftly went far toward verifying his boast to the Lady Catharine Knollys; for in less than a month his name was indeed on every tongue in Paris. The Banque Générale de L'as et Compagnie was seized upon by the public, debtor and creditor alike, as the one new thing, and hence as the only salvation. As ever, it pleased Paris to be mystified.

Thus, I suppose, if any noble visited Pisa, the Battaglia generale would be fought in his honour. The challenge of the side defeated at the last contest having been received, a council of war was held in both camps, and permission being given by the authorities, on that evening, the city was illuminated.

We should bear in mind that horns are always transmitted through the female, and that she has a latent capacity for their development, as we see in old or diseased females. Isidore Geoffroy St.-Hilaire, 'Essais de Zoolog. Generale, 1841, p. 513. Other masculine characters, besides the horns, are sometimes similarly transferred to the female; thus Mr. On the Cervulus, Dr.

Furthermore, the Abbe Prevost had translated a good deal of Purchas' Pilgrims into French, in his 'Histoire generale des Voyages' , and there Buffon found a version of Andrew Battell's account of the Pongo and the Engeco.

On the other hand, the Société Générale was granted by the Germans the exclusive right to issue bank notes, which had hitherto been the privilege of the Belgian National Bank.

Déscription et Histoire Générale du Gröenland. Par Egede, traduite du Danois. Genève, 1763. 8vo.

A continuation of this history was published by Crantz, in German, 1770, which has not been translated.

In the Studium Generale instruction was given by several Masters, in one or more of the Faculties of Arts, Law, Medicine, and Theology. In time the term came to be synonymous with "University"; it is so used in this book. The theoretically complete mediaeval university contained the four faculties of Arts, Theology, Law, and Medicine. These we find reproduced in some modern universities.

On his way back to Ravenna by land, for the Venetians added to their shame by refusing him the sea passage, he caught a fever in the marshes and returned to Ravenna only to die: the mightiest of all those emperors and kings who lie in that "generale sepolcro di santissimi corpi."
