CEREBRUM

(Lat.) The third medullary ma of the brain, counting from behind forwards: it is divided in the mesial line into two lateral lobes or hemispheres, and is the only part of the cerebral organ whose develop, ment bears relation to the intelligence of the species. CEREMONIAL OF EUROPEAN POWERS, comprises—1. The particular titles due to sovereigns in different states; the imperial title being considered as expre ing some sort of superiority over the royal, and having been in consequence a umed by various kings in their public acts (as the King of England since the union of the crowns ). 2. The acknowledgment of sovereign titles, the right to confer which was formerly claimed by the Popes as their own prerogative, but they are now a umed by princes, and confirmed by the acknowledgment of other sovereigns. 3. The respective prerogatives of different sovereigns; which species of precedence is that which has occasioned the greatest amount of discu ion and dispute when sovereigns, or their representatives, have been brought together. In 1504, Pope Julius II. arranged the rank of European powers in the following order: 1. The Roman Emperor; 2. The King of Rome; 3. France; 4. Castile; 5. Aragon; 6. Portugal; 7. England; S.Sicily; 9. Scotland; 10. Hungary; 11. Navarre; 12. Cyprus; 13. Bohemia; 14. Poland; 15. Denmark; 16. Republic of Venice; 17. Duke of Britanny; 18. Burgundy; 19. Elector of Bavaria; 20. Saxony; 21. Brandenburg; 22. Archduke of Austria; 23. Duke of Savoy; 24. Grand Duke of Florence; 25. Duke of Milan; 26. Bavaria; ^7. Lorraine. This arrangement, however, gave birth to repeated contests. At present, where precedence is not considered as established between rulers of equal dignity, each concedes to the other precedence at home; and when they meet on the territory of a third party, they take precedence alternately until some arrangement is effected CEREMONIES, [s. 223]
