POWDER TOWER, AT PRAGUE, BOHEMIA 



There was a time when Shakespeare's shipwreck on the shores of Bohemia, described in 

 "Winter's Tale," was a possibility, as the dominions of King Premysl Ottokar were washed 

 by the Baltic and the Adriatic seas. A stone thrown at Prague, it has often been said, 

 carries a fragment of history (see page 165).
