Murray, Longmans, Colburn, Bentley, ALL the publishers have offered me unlimited terms, but I have always refused not that I am a rich man, which makes the temptation of the thousands I might realise the harder to withstand; 't is not that the gold is not precious to me, but there is something dearer to me than gold it is my character for veracity! and therefore, as I am convinced the public would not believe the wonders I have witnessed, I confine the recital of my adventures to the social circle.
Those who are interested in the archaeology of the bow should read the volume on archery of the Badminton Library by Longmans. Various peoples have excelled in shooting, notably the Japanese, the Turks, the Scythians, and the English. Others have not been suited by temperament to use the bow. The Latins, the Peruvians, and the Irish seem never to have been toxophilites.
I had undertaken, at Reeve's request, to review a rather important historical work published by Longmans, but on reading it was so unfavourably impressed by it that I wrote to say that the best thing I could do would be to return the volumes; that the book was bad, and if I reviewed it I must say so; but that doing this in the publisher's own Review would have a certain resemblance to seething a kid in its mother's milk, and might probably be objected to.
The problem of a soldier is, not to find a soft and easy place in life, with plenty to get and little to do, but "to take his share of hardship," and as the passage goes on, "to please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier." Longmans, 1891. Ephesians iv. 13.

Very condensed and in somewhat technical language; but the work of one of the greatest masters of the subject. A full Bibliography is appended to the various chapters. Lehrbuch der Religionsgeschichte, von P. D. Chantepie de la Saussaye. Freiburg, 1887. The English translation has an altered title, viz. Manual of the Science of Religion, Longmans, 1891.
The moral sense was extinct when such a pupil was intrusted to such a tutor. For the following details I am principally indebted to 'The Memoirs of the Dukes of Urbino, by James Dennistoun; 3 vols., Longmans, 1851. It has, moreover, all the value of a personal memoir, for Vespasiano had lived in close relation with the Duke as his librarian.
Marsh's contributions to the study of English, a judgment which we are glad to see confirmed by the weighty authority of Mr, Müller. On Translating Homer. Three Lectures given at Oxford by MATTHEW ARNOLD, M.A., Professor of Poetry in the University of Oxford, and formerly Fellow of Oriel College. London: Longmans. 1861. pp. 104. Homeric Translation in Theory and Practice.
A contribution to "The Wampum Library"; Longmans, Green & Co., 1904. This paper, later included in Pen and Ink, 1888, has since been published by itself in a little volume: Longmans, Green & Co., 1901. It has subsequently been repeated in nearly every book that deals with this special aspect of the art of fiction. The second story of the second day, and the sixth story of the ninth day.
