Gregr founded the Narodni Listy in Prague in November, 1860, to support the policy of Rieger, and in January, 1861, the latter, with the knowledge of Palacky, concluded an agreement with Clam-Martinic on behalf of the Bohemian nobility, by which the latter, recognising the rights of the Bohemian State to independence, undertook to support the Czech policy directed against the centralism of Vienna.

On September 9, the Czechs, united in a party of fifty-two members, entered the Reichsrat to maintain their protest against the dual system. In parliament it became clear that the Old Czech Party, now led by Rieger, was inclined to be too conservative and too opportunist. In 1887 the Young Czechs left the national party and entered into opposition.

It is therefore not at all surprising, as C. Rieger puts it, that the loss of the male germ glands in maturer age should exert no new influence on the psychic life of the individual.

Rieger thinks that he belonged to a wealthy family "De Metis". Though the "i" is long in the original, and Simrock uses the form "Ortewein" in his translation, the spelling with short "i" has been chosen, as the lack of accent tends to shorten the vowel in such names. "Gere" is likewise a late introduction.

"We used to settle the universe in that little back restaurant room," said Rieger. "Not one of use had ever got a thing into print and me, I haven't yet, for that matter. I've kept my oath, though; I've never compromised never for a moment." "Yes," Canby responded feebly, wondering what the man was talking about. Wanda Malone was surely on the stage, now.

On November 15, the parliament was summoned to Kremsier, in which the Czechs, Ruthenes, Yugoslavs and some Poles formed a Slav bloc of 120 members. On December 2, Francis Joseph ascended the throne, and a constitution was proposed by a parliamentary committee of which Rieger was a member.

A shabby, shaggy, pale young man, with hot eyes, checked his ardent gait and paused, extending a cordial, thin hand, the fingers browned at the sides by cigarettes smoked to the bitter end. "Rieger," he said. "Arnold Rieger. Remember me at the old Ink Club meetings before we broke up?" "Yes," said Canby dimly. "Yes. The old Ink Club. I came out for a breath of air. Just a breath."

If he turned, walked about thirty feet, and opened a door, he would see her hear her speaking! "I've had news of your success," said Rieger. "I saw in the paper that Talbot Potter was to put on a play you'd written. I congratulate you. That man's a great artist, but he never seems to get a good play; he's always much, much greater than his part. I'm sure you've given him a real play at last.

During the period of Karl Eugen's worst recklessness the decade beginning with 1755, he was loyally abetted by two men, Rieger and Montmartin, who made themselves thoroughly odious. Rieger was a man of talent and knowledge, but without heart and without conscience. It was he who managed the cruel and lawless conscriptions whereby Duke Karl raised the desired troops for France.

In 1865 Rieger openly warned Austria: "Those who direct the destinies of Austria should remember that institutions based on injustice and violence have no duration. If you desire to save Austria, the whole of Austria, you must make justice the basis of your policy towards the Slavs. Do not then say that we did not warn you. Discite justitiam moniti."
