Full article There are reckoned to be four equestrian monuments in our city - to Nicholas I, Alexander III and two to Peter I. If we go back to the beginning of this century, we come across this same number, the so-called "mystical quadrangle". The most typical in this respect is the monument to Nicholas I in St. Isaac's Square, in front of the Mariinsky Palace. When the horses were ready, Nicholas I sent two of them to Berlin as a gift to the King of Prussia; the new pair of bronze horses did not stay long in Russia either - they were presented to the King of Naples. www.whererussia.com /spb/fullarticle?id=1216   (676 words)

BBC NEWS UK Magazine The never-ending search The monument, built around 1748, features an image of one of Nicholas Poussin's paintings, and beneath it the letters "D.O.U.O.S.V.A.V.V.M." Poussin was said by some to have been a Grand Master of the Knights Templar, named after the order that captured Jerusalem during the Crusades and who were known as the "keepers of the Holy Grail". It has long been rumoured that these letters - which have baffled some of the greatest minds over the past 250 years, including Charles Darwin's and Josiah Wedgwood's - provide clues to the whereabouts of Christ's elusive cup. news.bbc.co.uk /2/hi/uk_news/magazine/4044765.stm   (676 words)

Guardian Unlimited The Guardian Has the mystery of the Holy Grail been solved? The monument includes a marble relief of Nicholas Poussin's 17th century painting Les Bergers d'Arcadie II, though the image is reversed. The choice of the Poussin picture could also be significant - he was said to be a member of the Prieure de Sion - while the fact that the image was reversed may also be important because members of the society were keen on inventing codes which involved mirror writing. For a start, the Anson family reputedly had connections with the Prieure de Sion, a secret society which had its origins in the Knights Templar, the legendary keepers of the grail. www.guardian.co.uk /uk_news/story/0,3604,1360111,00.html   (676 words)

Bublos.com: Compare Book Prices ›› Nicholas Hawksmoor: Rebuilding Ancient Wonders - Vaughan Hart - Hardcover "The diverse works of architect Nicholas Hawksmoor (?1661-1736) ranged from small architectural details to ambitious urban plans, from new parish churches to work on the monument of his age, St. Paul's cathedral. As a young man Hawksmoor assisted Christopher Wren and John Vanbrugh, emerging from these formidable apprenticeships to design some of the most vigorous and dramatic buildings in England. In addition, Hart offers the first coherent explanation of Hawksmoor's theory of architecture."

The Observer Business Much to do about the bleedin' obvious Gordon Brown is now the longest serving Chancellor since Nicholas Vansittart (1812 to 1825) - a contemporary of William Wordsworth's but whose reputation, as I pointed out a few months ago, has been wandering lonely as a cloud for some time. The MPC and 'stability' are only the backdrop to what one suspects is the monument Brown hopes for, namely a dramatic lifting of public sector standards and services that would remind people of the achievements of the Attlee government. And the institution that has encouraged this, as Sir Edward George implicitly acknowledged, is the Chancellor's pride and joy, the innovation that most commentators have picked out as his place, so far, in history: the MPC. observer.guardian.co.uk /business/story/0,6903,1242836,00.html   (924 words)
