ate 11_). 8. House on the "Keizersgracht" (now No. 208) of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, the principal person in Rembrandt's painting _The Anatomical Lesson._ Next to him lived Dr. Aernout Tholinx, whose portrait was etched and painted by Rembrandt. 9. House on the "Singel" (now Nos. 140-142) of Mr. F. Banning Cocq, the Captain in Rembrandt's masterwork, _The Night-watch_ (see _plate 23_). 10. House on the "Kloveniersburgwal" (now No. 47) in which apparently lived Mr. Jan Six, a well-known and influential person in Rembrandt's life, whose painted and etched portraits count among Rembrandt's finest productions. 11. House in the "Kalverstraat" (now No. 10) of the print-dealer and publisher Clement de Jonghe whose portrait Rembrandt etched. 12. The old St. Anthony-gate, in Rembrandt's days Public Weighing-House, and, on the first floor, the seat of the Surgeon's Guild, of which Dr. Tulp and Dr. Deyman were the foremen. 13.

The Staalhof, the office for which Rembrandt executed his celebrated picture known as _The Syndics._ 15. The inn called De Keizers Kroon in the Kalverstraat (now No. 71) where Rembrandt's collections were sold at auction, after his bankruptcy, in 1657 and 1658 (see _plate 22_). 16. The Dam, with the town-hall on the right and the Public Weighing-House in the middle (see plates _2_,_3_,_4_). 17. The bridge called Grimnessesluis (see _plate 5_). 18. The St. Anthony-gate (see _plate 6_) at the end of the street where Rembrandt lived. 19. The spot where Rembrandt has apparently sketched the mills and the views of the town (see _plate 7_). 20. The tower called Montelbaanstoren (see plates _9_ and _10_) and the bridge from which Rembrandt sketched it. 21. The bridge called "Leliebrug," from which Rembrandt sketched the tower of the church called _Westerkerk_. This church, on the map, is between the bridge and the house numbered 8. (See _plate 13_.)
