IT DOES NOT FOLLOW THAT per se IT WAS A CRIME. The negroes who were sold to the dealers in the factories were most of them either slaves already to worse masters or were servi, servants in the old meaning of the word, or else criminals, servati or reserved from death.
Filippo was buried by his sons in S. Michele Bisdomini, on April 13, 1505; and while he was being borne to his tomb all the shops in the Via de' Servi were closed, as is done sometimes for the obsequies of great men.
Ces lumieres jointes a l'esprit de comparaison toujours necessaire a quiconque entreprend de percer les voiles dont la nature aime a se cacher, ont servi de guide a notre philosophe pour parvenir a des connoissances plus interessantes.
"J'ai servi, commandé, vaincu quarante années; Du monde entre mes mains j'ai tu les destinées, Et j'ai toujours connu qu'en chaque événement Le destin des états dépendait d'un moment." But he had hours, we might say days, to settle his destiny, and was not tied down to a moment.
If we take the second street to the right, Via de' Servi, we shall come at once into the beautiful Piazza della Santissima Annunziata. Before us is the desecrated convent of the Servites, now turned into a school, and the Church of SS. Annunziata itself, now the most fashionable church in Florence.
The contest would be between the Frari and the Servi; there was a new brother who had just entered their order, and very learned, it was said, but the name was not known. He would appear to respond to the propositions of the Frari. "Yes, the theses would be in Latin and harder, it was said, had never been seen.

"It hath not the beauty of the 'Venezia' in the palazzo," said one. "And the church is dark," said another, "and the people like the red and blue of the colors of the true Madonna." "And a frate, of the Servi since it hath been painted for the convent here kneeling," suggested another, more timidly; for it was known that the Veronese was not always docile in these days, since he had become great.
Calvert to His Majesty as "son jeune et bien-aimé secrétaire, qui avait servi dans la guerre de l'indépendence sous le drapeau de la France, commandé par Monsieur de Lafayette, pour qu'il avait un respect le plus profond et une amitié la plus vive," the young man was quite overcome by the graciousness of his reception and retained for the rest of his life a very lively impression of the King's kind treatment of him.
This singular picture was dedicated and placed over the high altar of the Conception in the church of the Servi, who, under the title of Serviti di Maria, were dedicated to the especial service of the Virgin Mary. Ital. La Nascit
