England, and 11 to America. The rest were despatched to Italy,
Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, Holland, and other countries.

It remains to be said that Koenig and Bauer, united in life, were not
divided by death. Bauer died on February 27, 1860, and the remains of
the partners now lie side by side in the little cemetery at Oberzell,
close to the scene of their labours and the valuable establishment
which they founded.

"Intellect and industry are never incompatible. There is more wisdom,
and will be more benefit, in combining them than scholars like to
believe, or than the common world imagine. Life has time enough for
both, and its happiness will be increased by the union."--SHARON TURNER.

"I have beheld with most respect the man Who knew himself, and knew the
ways before him, And from among them chose considerately, With a clear
foresight, not a blindfold courage; And, having chosen, with a
