dull modern aspect.

Plate V.
Fig. a. Crownof the former Schau-Amt (coinage and income
tax control office) now main guard-house, opposite the town-hail,
Nuremberg. This most interesting building, which was in
harmony with the picturesque ancient environs, was destroyed
by ignorance in the year 1811 and replaced by the present
guard-house which forms an absolutely tasteless constrast with
St. Sebald's cathedral and the town-hall.
Plate VI.
Fig. c. A most interesting and magnificent door from the
period of the duke Ulrich of Wurtemberg, found and drawn
by the author in 1808 in a Ioft of the old castle of Hohen-
tubingen, the residence of the prince. The subsequent fate
of this door is unknown to the author; it was, together
with many otherhighlyinteresting antiquities, no doubt doomed
to the hammer of the auctioneer or to other barbarous
purposes.
Plate VII.
Fig. &. Baptistery of the ancient abbey, now parish-church
of St. Amand, Urach. This eminent piece bears the date of
1518. It was so much defaced and coated with lime that all
the decorations have lost of their value immensely. This bap-
tistery is divided into eight sections. It bears the representa-
tions of a certain number of persons from the history of the
old testament, whose heads are the portraits of the courtiers
