It will deal with and determine the
destinies of more nations and a larger
aggregate population thair any other

also mark the concI0,ion of that di-

especially prominent, the edict was
suspended, not to be revived again.

language which was a medium of in-
ternational communication, while the
*lavic dialect had a very circum-
scribed area.
This policy brought upon them the
hostility of the Cechs, whose leaders.
the historian Francis l'alacky and
Ladislaus Rieger. called them Shy-
locks and charged them with resopn-
