Cook for the transport of all the exhibits, which were sent via Harwich and Antwerp. I myself and a few others started two days afterwards with a desire to see NUREMBERG AND SIR ANTHONY ROTHSCHILD 127 some noted places on the way, and, as I had been more than once on the Rhine, I pushed on to Nuremberg, which I had long desired to see, as being the home of Albrecht Diirer, the cradle of his genius, and the receptacle of much of his artistic works. This city far exceeded my most sanguine expecta...tions ; I think it is nearly the most interesting town in Europe, being only surpassed by our own classic Oxford. I went into a restaurant which I was told Hans Sachs was accus- tomed to frequent, and sat on the same bench, at the same table, that this noted poet used. Further, I was served with the same description of food, with the same pattern of dishes, plates, knives, and Black Jack out of which to drink the same class of beer that used to be served to him. There are famous specimens of Albrecht Diirer's metal work and wood and stone carving in the streets and the churches ; and the torture chambers and dia- bolical implements of punishment were too horrible to be described.
