The books, too, were all in handsome editions Meredith in green leather with a gold-worked monogram, Pater in red half-morocco, Swinburne in light-blue with red and gold tooling rich and to some extent unobtrusive, but reiterating unmistakably the first impression that the room had given, the mark of something superficial. Robin was there now, dressing for dinner.
The genuineness of the series of Letters on Episcopacy between the King and Henderson, first printed in 1649, immediately after Charles's death, and included since then in all editions of Charles's works, does not seem to have been questioned by contemporaries on either side, or by subsequent Presbyterian critics.
The old editions we buy mainly for their beauty, and the sentiment of their antiquity and their associations. But I don't take my own advice. Probably it was for love of Sir Walter Scott, and his mention of this truculent treatise, that I purchased it. Or rather there is nearly a column more of title, which I spare you. But the pictures are so bad as to be nearly worth the price.
This letter found in the earlier editions is now one of the most choice curiosities of libraries. Well it may be, for it is the first public announcement of the greatest event of modern history. Ferdinand and Isabella directed him to wait upon them at once at court.
What a wonderful and long-continued series of variations must have led up to the perfect "trap" in Utricularia, while at any stage of the process the same end might have been gained by a little more development of roots and leaves, as in 9,999 plants out of 10,000! Is this an imaginary difficulty, or do you mean to deal with it in future editions of the "Origin"? Believe me yours very faithfully,
This supposition finds further evidence in the fact that the ninth part of Shandy, as issued by Lange in the second and third editions, was still a translation of the spurious English volume, although the fraud was well known and the genuine volume was read and appreciated. Of this genuine last part Dr. Zückert never made a translation.
To whatever cause conjecture may trace it, they did not become friends, although such lack of sympathy as existed shows itself only in an occasional pin-prick, traceable particularly in the later editions of their writings.
Collier's famous folio were anticipated by this "king of the dunces"; and it must be owned, that his edition is as far superior to Warburton's and Hanmer's, which were not long after brought out with a deafening flourish of trumpets, as the editions of Steevens and Malone are to his.
Wrenn and I will exploit this contest in our newspapers let the whole universe know that it is coming off; advise the people that the aviators are to be provided with the most modern airplanes, and equipped with wireless by means of which they will keep us informed frequently of their whereabouts; that they will have cameras and send us pictures; that these bulletins shall be issued in extra editions of our newspapers at least three or four times a day; and to cap the climax, we will put up large bulletin boards in front of our buildings, on which there will be painted a chart of the trip, showing every scheduled stop, country, and ocean crossed.
While waiting he wrote two telegrams in feverish haste. Several of the newspaper people wrote hasty, excited dispatches to their papers for the evening editions. The messenger boy, when he arrived on a run, was all but loaded down with paper. Then the yard's owner and the newspaper folks dashed back to the shore. Out on the harbor the water lay unruffled.
