Nothing now lay between London and the invading forces but the utterly inadequate army and the lines of fortifications, which could not be expected to offer any more effective resistance to the assault of the war-balloons than had those of the three towns on the Kentish coast. The same work mentions no such vessels belonging to Britain, nor yet any prospect of her possessing one.
"But see," said Felix, offering Minard the "Constitutionnel," "here's the paper; not only does it announce that Monsieur Picot is the maker of the discovery, but it mentions the rewards which, without losing a moment, the government has bestowed upon him."

The said Rabbi Benjamin set forth from Tudela, his native city, and passed through many remote countries, as is related in his book.

This was in broad daylight, in the town of Charlestown. It was raining hard at the time a thing so common in Ireland that no one mentions it any more than they do the fact of the daily paper appearing each morning and the unfortunate victim had an umbrella up, so the mob could not see his face. They shouted, 'Here's Hussey, and tried to pull him off the car, but the parish priest stopped this.

Shortly afterward the esophageal tube was removed and recovery was virtually complete. Little mentions an extraordinary case of a woman of thirty-six who was discharged from Garland's asylum, where she had been an inmate for three months.
It should be observed that neither Polybius nor Plutarch mentions the use of burning-glasses in connection with the siege of Syracuse, nor indeed are these referred to by any other ancient writer of authority.
