HISTORY.
next
one
in
the
same
city
was
the
Cafe
Procope,
es-
tablished
by
the
Sicilian
Procopio,
in
the
year
1725;
it
was
frequented
by
all
the
literary
men
of
France
that
visited
Paris,
and
soon
became
fashionable,
but
also
the
meeting-place
of
republicans
and
revolutionists.
Vienna
opened
its
first
cafe
in
the
year
1694;
the
privilege
was
granted
to
a
Polish
citizen
for
the
ser-
vices
he
had
rendered
when
the
capital
was
besieged
by
the
Turks
in
the
year
1683.
Berlin
received
its
first
mocha-temple
in
the
year
1721.
King
Frederick
I.
of
Prussia,
an
obstinate
enemy
of
coffee,
made
the
coffee-trade
a
monopoly;
nobody
but
the
clergy
and
the
nobility
were
permitted
to
roast
their
own
coffee.
The
people
at
large
had
to
pay,
in
the
royal
roasting-houses,
from
six
to
seven
times
more
than
they
would
have
paid
at
the
merchant's.
In
Leipsic
the
first
coffee-house
was
opened
to
the
public
in
the
year
1694,
in
Stuttgart
in
the
year
1712.
The
infamous
Jew
Suss,
founded
in
Wuertemberg
a
coffee-monopoly
by
granting
the
privilege
of
sale
only
to
such
people
as
were
able
and
willing
to
pay
him
for
it
liberally.
The
colonists
that
sailed
out
to
find
new
islands
and
to
found
new
settlements
took
the
coffee-beans
the
decoction
of
which
had
become
already
a
necessity
with
them.
A
mayor
of
Amsterdam,
Wieser,
is
said
to
have
brought
the
coffee-tree
from
Mocha
to
Batavia,
where
he
established
great
plantations;
this
took
place
at
the
end
of the
seventeenth
century.
From
Batavia
