 he out of sight,
when the gold in the receiver's hand was changed to straw, or to round
slices of gilded horn,--a shabby trick indeed, as he could have as much
money as he liked.

How much we have to believe of all these popular stories we may learn
from Dr. Phil. Begardi's "Zeyger der Gesundtheyt," (Guide to Health,) a
book published in 1539, at Worms, at a time when Faustus seems to have
already disappeared from Germany, after having lost caste there
completely, and when he was trying his fortune in other countries.

"There is still another famous man," says Begardi, "whose name I would
rather not mention at all, only that he himself would not wish to
remain hidden or unknown. For he was roving, _some years ago_, through
all the different countries, principalities, and kingdoms, and has made
known his name and his great skill, boasting not only of his medical
science, but likewise of Chiromancy, Necromancy, Physiognomy, Visions
in Crystals, and more arts of the kind. And he called himself Faustus,
a celebrated experienced master, _philosophum philosophorum_, etc. But
the number of those who have complained to me of having been cheated by
him is very great. Well, his promises were likewise very great, just
like those of Thessalus, (in Galen's time,) and his reputation like
that of Theophrastus; but in deeds he was, I hear, found small and
deceitful. But in taking and receiving money he was never slow, and was
off before any one knew it."

Thus we see the historical Faustus, the esteemed scholar, the skilful
physician, gradually merged in the juggler, the quack, the adventurer,
and the impostor. The popular legend follows him to foreign countries.
His magic mantle carries him, in eight days, over the whole world, and
even into the Infernal regions. He is honorably received at the
Emperor's court at Innspruck, introduces himself invisibly at Rome,
into the Vatican, where the Pope and his cardinals are assembled at a
banquet, snatches away
he out of sight, 
 when the gold in the receiver's hand was change to chaff, or to round 
 slices of gilded horn,--a moth-eaten trick indeed, as he could have as much 
 money as he like. 

 How much we have to think of all these democratic stories we may learn 
 from Dr. Phil. Begardi's " Zeyger der Gesundtheyt, " (lead to Health ,) a 
 book published in 1539, at Worms, at a time when Faustus seem to have 
 already disappeared from Germany, after having lost caste there 
 completely, and when he was trying his fortune in early countries. 

 " There is still another celebrated man, " says Begardi, " whose name I would 
 rather not mention at all, merely that he himself would not wish to 
 remain hidden or unknown. For he was roving, _ some years ago _, through 
 all the unlike countries, principalities, and kingdoms, and has made
