The Alhambra and the Kremlin : the south and north of Europe (1873)
Prime, Samuel Irenaeus, 1812-1885 · New York : Anson D.F. Randolph · leaf 212
ALHAMBRA AND KREMLIN, all that is worth seeing in the quaint old city of Berjie , — the German for Bear, — the city of Bears, so called because it is built on the spot where its founder, Berchthold, of Zahrin- … Cathedral and Platform at Berne. gen, slew a bear long time ago. So the people keep three or four of them in a stone pit, at the public expense, for the idle and youthful to look at and feed and see them climb a tree. It is amusing to see a city worshipping bears.
