The Vatican.

Tais phrase j. often used, but
there are many that do not UNDER
stand its import. 1t refers to a
coll. ction Of buildings on one of
the seven hills Of Rome, which
covers space of | 1850 feet in
length, and 900 eel in breadth.
II is built on the spot once Occupi-
ed by the garden ofthe cruel Nero.
1t owes It's origin to the Bishop Of
Rome, who, in the early part of
the sixth century, erected an hum
BILE residence on its site. About
the year 1160, Pope Eugenius re-
built 1t on a magnificent scale. In
nocent III, few years afterwards,
gave it up as lodging TO Peter
III, King Of AragOn. In 1906,
Clement V, at the instigation of
the King Of France, removed the
Papal See from Rome TO Aviguon,
when the Vatican remained in a
condition of obscurity and neglect
for more than seventy years. But
soon after the return of the Ponti-
fical Court to Rome, an event
which had been earnestly prayed
for by poor Petrarch, and which
finally took plack in 1865, the Vat
lean was put into state of repair,
again enlarged, and it was thence
forth considered as the regular
palace residence of the Popes,
who, one after another, added
fresh buildings to it, and gradual
ly enriched it with antiquities,
statues, pictures, and books, until
it become the richest depository
in the world. The library of the
Vatican was commenced 400
years ago. 1t contains 10000 man
uscripts, among which are some
by Pliny, st. Thomas, st. Charles
Borremeo, and many Hebrew,
Syrian, Arabian and Armenian
Bibles. The whole of the immense
buildings composing the Vatican
are filled up with statues found
beneath the ruins of ancient Rome;
with paintings by the masters, and
with curious medals and antiqui-
ties of almost every description.
When it is known that more than
10000 statues have been exhumed
from the ruined temples and pal
aces of Rome, the reader can
form some idea of the riches of the
Vatican. 1t will ever he held in
veneration by the student, the ar
list and the scholar. Raphael and
Michael Angelo are enthroned
there, and their throne will be as
enduring as the love of beauty and
genius in the hearts of their WOr-
shippers.
