[Footnote 38: From Peter I will copy one or two of these privileges; the whole of which were once, at the origin of universities, in full force. For instance, a student can compel a citizen to let him his house and his horse; an injury, done even to his relations, must be made good fourfold; he is not obliged to fulfil the written commands of the Pope; the neighborhood must indemnify him for what is stolen from him; if he and a non-student are living at variance, the latter only can be expelled from the boarding-house; a Doctor is obliged to support a poor student; if he is killed, the next ten houses are laid under interdict till the murderer is discovered; his legacies are not abridged by _falcidia_, &c., &c.] [Footnote 39: _Literary Germany_, a work (I believe of no great merit) which Richter often twitches in the same style.--Ed.] [Footnote 40: See _Schmelzle's Journey_, p. 289--Ed.] [Footnote 41: As in the State.--[V. or Von, _de_, _of_, being the symbol of the nobility, the middle order of the State.--Ed.]] [Footnote 42: In Erlang, my petition has been granted. The _Bible Institution_ of that town have found instead of the 116,301 As, which Fixlein at first pretended with such certainty to find in the Bible-books (which false number was accordingly given in the first Edition of this Work, p. 81), the above-mentioned 323,015; which (uncommonly singular) is precisely the sum of all the letters in the Koran put together. See _Lüdeke's Beschr. des Turk. Reichs_ (Lüdeke's Description of the Turkish Empire. New edition, 1780).] [Footnote 43: _Paravicini Singularia de viris claris_, Cent.

Timotheus lost his.] [Footnote 45: Their prayer-barrel, Kürüdu, is a hollowed shell, a calabash, full of unrolled formulas of prayer; they sway it from side to side, and then it works. More philosophically viewed, since in prayer the feeling only is of consequence, it is much the same whether this express itself by motion of the mouth or of the calabash.] [Footnote 46: In German, as in some other languages, the common mode of address is by the _third_ person; plural, it indicates respect; singular, command; the _second_ person is also used; plural, it generally denotes indifference; singular, great familiarity, and sometimes its product, contempt. _Dutzenfreund_, _Thouing-friend_, is the strictest term of intimacy; and among the wild _Burschen_ (Students) many a duel (happily however, often ending like the _Polemo-Middinia_ in one drop of blood) has been fought, in consequence of saying _Du_ (thou) and _Sie_ (they) in the wrong place.--Ed.]
