It is strange that the records of those days should be chosen by the public to be held as the measure of the American cowboy. Those days were brief, and they are long since gone. The American cowboy atoned for them by a quarter of a century of faithful labor. The amusements of the cowboy were like the features of his daily surroundings and occupation they were intense, large, Homeric.
All the records were duly made, witnesses were examined, or said to be examined, and care was had to spread the rumor in the city that the tribunals were at length occupied in deciding on the case of the extraordinary man who had so long been permitted to exercise his bloody profession with impunity even in the centre of the canals.
For that and no other is the true note of your Welt-politik which desires to live. The German eagle with a Prussian head looks all round the horizon, not so much for something to do that would count for good in the records of the earth, as simply for something good to get.
Chiefly, however, has "the land of mountain and of flood" bulked largely in the records of the world, from the stern and heroic character and statesmenlike tendencies of its titled nobility, the lights and shadows of whose characters, as they are developed in the historic page, go a long way towards conferring upon Scotland the distinguishing qualities that have made her famous.
The document thus drawn up, which has come down to us known as the Constitutions of Clarendon, records in its opening paragraph the fact and form of this agreement and the names of the consenting bishops.

I think I have made it sufficiently evident in these records that my practice was not an extensive one, and my hour for receiving patients arrived and passed with only two professional interruptions. My task concluded, I glanced at the clock, and determined to devote the remainder of the evening to a little private investigation of my own.
All real writing has got to be lived before it is written lived not only once or twice, but lived over and over again. Mere reporting won't do in literature, nor the records of easy voyaging through perilous seas.
The site of the town, described in Colonial Records as "healthy, pleasantly situated, well watered and commodious for commerce," was the property of John Phelps, who gave his consent to the laying off of 100 acres for the town on condition that he should retain his own house and lot, and four lots adjoining him.
The last manager of the mill gave him to me, but you'se sees he can't never go out and walk around because of the dogs, so I just keeps he under that settle." Pathetic as were her efforts at stock farming, I must admit that my sympathies were all with the incarcerated rooster. The problem of the dogs seemed an insurmountable one. The Moravians' records abound in stories of their destructiveness.
It may be prudent to say, just here, that it will be quite useless to make any further inquiries of me upon the subject, or to ask of me a request which has been repeated till I am fain to put an end to it for either loan or copy of these records for the benefit of either personal or scientific curiosity.
