...Austrian Low-Countries (Belgium) during the eighteenth century. It also possessed a collection of old coins and seals, very interesting for the history of the Low-Countries. The university has also lost all its archives and all its souvenir portraits and busts of professors and benefactors, among artistic beauty, like the portrait of Pope Adrian III or the bust of Chonissen, the scholarly criminologist.
