    and the title of which was " JBeweis _, dasz die Frauen-zimmer eigentlich Keine Menschen sind ; " ( i . e . Proof that women are

    properly no human beings . ) If the Germans , chose to support such princiles by creating so great a demand for this book

    that it had p now appeared in the eighth edition , they might do so ; but there was no reason why the Bohemians should not

    give preference to the more elevated opinions of women that were entertained by Englishmen .

    Mr . _JSTaprstek ' s lectures were listened to with great interest ; they were also published and eagerly read by the people of

    Bohemia , and are sure to produce a salutary effect , especially on the fair sex , as they are the products of a comprehensive ,

    clear , and vigorous mind , aiming at the amelioration of the political condition of the Bohemian people in general , and the

    improvement of the social and intellectual position of woman in particular . _^ B y their intrinsic value his words produced

    lasting impressions , and the roost practical results . From the accounts published in the " Ndrodni _Lisby" we see that a

    large sum was realised for the object for which , the lectures had been givenviz . the foundation of the Prumyslove Museum .

    He made , , not onl , y in Bohemia , but in the whole Austrian Empirea stir fpr the amelioration of the socialmoraland

    intellectual , condition of the people . A remarkable , proof , of how his sagacious plan with regard to the Prumyslove Museum

    was appreciated , is to be found in the fact that the Emperor of Austria gave orders that a similar museum should be founded

    in Vienna . Bringing his seven years' stay in Americaand his experience

    gathered during the time of the International , Exhibition in Londonto bear upon the hearts and minds of his fellow

    citizens , , Mr . ISJaprstek , by the extraordinary accuracy of his speechand by the happy manner in which he mingled

    instruction , with entertainment , received a homage from his audience such as has rarely been accorded to men on such

    occasions in Prague , and it can truly be said that his lectures excited a larger interest than the speeches of the most eminent

    and respected of his compatriots who have on various occasions come forward to speak on matters touching the moral and

    physical improvement of the people .
