In the middle of a beautiful summer day fifteen German aeroplanes appeared over London and dispatched their death-dealing burden of explosives on England's capital; 157 men, women, and children were killed, and 432 injured. Considerable material damage was caused, although the raid lasted only fifteen minutes. All but one of the German planes escaped.
The letters of Sir Samuel Hood have not come under the author's eye. Rodney's Life, vol. ii. p. 248. There were only twenty-five in all. Guérin, vol. v. p. 511. Rodney's Life, vol. ii. p. 246.

To him that country is hills and vales, woods and fields, rivers and swamps, real things he has seen and among which he has moved. As an example of this we may perhaps give his description of the line of the Argonne which occurs on page 157 of The French Revolution: The Argonne is a long, nearly straight range of hills running from the south northward, a good deal to the west of north.

Chron. Mailr. p. 157. Gul. Gemet lib. 7. cap. 31. Order.
