In Conrad Botho's Cronecken der Sassen, printed by Schoeffer the following year, most of the armorial illustrations and pictures of the foundation of towns are merely decoratively treated, but in one cut in which a rather wild-looking charlemagne with lean legs is shown seated in a chair of state surmounted by an eagle, an idol crushed under his feet, the designer has given free play to his imagination.

They will rebuild charlemagne; not in the brute force of earlier days; but as strength adorned with knowledge, as empire imposing law.

He would have crossed the orbit of Venus about the time of charlemagne, and that of Mercury soon after the discovery of America.
