Last autumn I had an opportunity of examining some reliques recently acquired by the Museum of Zürich, which appeared to me to possess considerable interest. I am now in a condition to place these matters before the Society, having been furnished with the necessary drawings and illustrations, through the kindness of our friend and colleague, Dr. Ferdinand Keller of Zürich. Much, also, of what I am about to say is derived from the same excellent source.

page 109 note b Breslau, 1855. This treatise is perfectly exhaustive. The innumerable citations from ancient records, poetry and romances, prove that “reiterei” was of old an all-important consideration in Germany. The splendid horse-gear, so perpetually referred to, sometimes leave us doubtful whether we are to regard it as an actual imitation, or merely as a traditionary reminiscence of Roman magnificence.
