live to see the end of the war, for he died in 1705, his sons Joseph I., and at the latter’s death Charles VI., following him. With the latter’s demise in 1740 the Austrian male line became extinct, and his daughter, the famous Maria Theresa, continued the Habsburg succession. In her forty years’ reign Vorarlberg was joined to Tyrol, for being an imperial fief it fell back to the Crown when the line of feoffees became extinct. Of her handsome but somewhat faith less consort’s sudden death {1765

) during their sons marriage festivities at Innsbruck, I have had occasion to speak in the opening chapter. With Maria Theresa’s son and successor Joseph II. (1780-1790) a new era commenced lor Tyrol, though his useful and eminently liberal-minded reforms naturally met with strenuous opposition on the part of the Church, which deplored the fate of hundreds of churches, priories, and other religious institutions that were abolished by a stroke of the auto cratic Joseph’s pen.

The effect of such treatment was to separate them completely from their fellow-townsmen. The Jews of Prague have preserved more strictly than in most other parts of Europe their ancient manners and customs. They have even retained their own institutions. Be sides 5 synagogues and several schools, they

The Old Jewish Burial-ground (Alte Friedhof) is a truly singular spot. If is a vast enclosure in the middle of the Jewish city, piled up with the dead of centuries. It is now no longer used, as it will hold no more, and is crammed with grave-stones. The last person was interred about 100 years
