Again, no editor of 540 B.C. could construct an harmonious picture of the Over-Lord in relation to the princes out of the fragmentary repertoires of strolling rhapsodists, which now lay before him in written versions. If the editor could do this, he was a man of Shakespearian genius, and had minute knowledge of a dead society.

By Oltmann's tables the elevation is 18,540 feet. The tension of vapour was .0763, and the dew-point was 5.8 degrees, or 43.5 degrees below the temperature of the air. The difference between the dry cold air of this elevation and that of the heated plains of India, is very great.

The casual and territorial revenue yielded only eighteen thousand pounds but the export duties reached almost twenty thousand pounds.
Quickly and silently Long tied the handle of the door 511 in which we were to the handle of 540 which he was vacating. As both doors opened inward and were opposite, they were virtually locked.
