United States or Italy ? Vote for the TOP Country of the Week !
But being allied with the workers, I can laugh. "Speaking still in words of one syllable, Elfigo, I can safely prophesy what will happen first when the Alliance begins its active campaign. Scarehead news in extra editions will be printed. The uprising will be greatly exaggerated, I have no doubt.
I have never seen an American college football game, but from all I can learn from accounts in the Paris editions of the American newspapers the effects physical in our fight and that game are about the same."
In its later editions this tentative attitude was changed to the statement that Mr. Hayes lacked the vote of Florida "claimed by the Republicans" to be sure of the required votes in the Electoral College. The story of this surprising discrepancy between midnight and daylight reads like a chapter of fiction.
Within a week the doors to the deserted city were opened, and the earthmen passed through. When they glimpsed the interior, they stopped in consternation, then started to laugh. Huge worms covered the ground, and smaller editions of the same species, crawled around them. They were using the dome for a hatching place! They had only entered it to bring forth their young!
The reward of an author who meets them half- way in these respects, who neither puzzles nor distresses them, who asks nothing from them, but compliments them on their great possessions and sends them away rejoicing, is a full measure of acceptance, and editions unto seventy times seven. The evils caused by the influence of the audience on the writer are many.
The day's doing had packed the always-crowded money lane. The newsboys were shouting afternoon editions. "Terrible panic in Wall Street. One man against millions. Robert Brownley broke 'the Street.

The spread of the English-speaking race since 1850, and the cheapness of printing, have brought in primers and handbooks by the million. All the books of the older literatures are being abstracted and sown abroad in popular editions. The magazines fulfil the same function; every one of them is a penny cyclopedia.
Aside from its extensive publication in the newspapers, various editions of it appeared in pamphlet form, one of the best of which was issued by Messrs.
Montaigne, and Swift, he read continually. He was a collector of rare editions of the Classics, and would dawdle over a Greek play, edited by some learned German, for a week at a time, losing himself in the profundity of elaborate foot-notes. He was an ardent admirer of the lighter Roman poets, and believed the Horatian philosophy the only true creed by which a man should shape his existence.
At the present time a beginner can more quickly awaken the interest of a publisher by submitting a manuscript the title of which contains the words, "For Children." "Authors' editions" of books we have long had offered us by publishers; "éditions de luxe" too; and "limited editions of fifty copies, each copy numbered." These are all old in the world of books.
