There was nothing for him to do but fight; and then and there began the peaceful Joseph's career as a general of unsurpassed strategy in conducting one of the most masterly retreats in history.
Sproat took among the Ahts, and when his account of Melanesian myths reads like a close copy of Mr. I also cited at length Dr. Tylor's masterly argument to the same effect, an argument offered by him to 'a great historian, apparently. Mr. Max Muller's Method of Controversy Now no member of the reading public, perusing Mr. He could not guess that Dr.
The decisive battle of Thapsus put an end to this uncertainty; and meanwhile Cicero had resumed work on his De Legibus, and had once more returned to the study of oratory in one of the most interesting of his writings, the Brutus de claris Oratoribus, in which he gives a vivid and masterly sketch of the history of Roman oratory down to his own time, filled with historical matter and admirable sketches of character.

The policy of which Lord Lytton was the figurehead had come down with a bloody crash, and the 'masterly inactivity' of wise John Lawrence stood vindicated in the eyes of Europe and of Asia.
