Johnson in a bellum internecinum against Jonas Hanway, or any other impious person who should presume to disparage it." The only stimulant that Hazlitt indulged in was strong Black tea, using the very best obtainable. Wordsworth was a lover of tea, and he sweetened his tea beyond the taste of ordinary mortals.

The meal was very simple but not unpalatable, finishing up with excellent Turkish coffee. I am writing now of the status quo ante bellum, and I must say I was struck with the well-to-do aspect of the peasants in Servia. By peasants I mean the class answering to the German bauer.
Under this pax in bellum sort of compact we might have come off scot-free, had we not partaken very liberally of the shot intended for large ships, which did serious damage among our people. The two British lines running down parallel to each other, and nearly perpendicular to the crescent line of the combined fleets, was the grandest sight that was ever witnessed.
We of the same continent recognize no right in a very few millions to seize on the land which belongs as much to our descendants and to the labor of all Europe and of the world as it does to them.

This may be more properly considered as the sequel to Livius, but the few fragments remaining show that his versification was based on that of Ennius. Gellius, with his partiality for all that was archaic, warmly praises this work. HOSTIUS wrote the Bellum Istricum in three books. This was no doubt a continuation of the great master's Annales.
