Readers of Tyler's 'Henry V., of Agnes Strickland's 'Queens, Tytler's 'Scotland, and Barante's 'Histoire de Bourgogne' will be at no loss for the origin of all I have ventured to say of the really historical personages. Mr. Fox Bourne's 'English Merchants' furnished the tradition respecting Whittington.
There's no doubt, sir; there's no doubt that it was the spirit of Mr. Frederick Massingbird." Matthew's clear, intelligent eye was fixed firmly on Mr. Bourne's his face, as usual, bending a little forward. Mr. Bourne had never believed in "spirits"; clergymen, as a rule, do not. A half smile crossed his lips. "Were you frightened?" he asked.
Roume, the French Commissary, wrote a letter to Toussaint, on this occasion, advising him to seize his guest, as an act of duty to the republic: on the route, General Maitland was secretly informed of Bourne's treachery; but, in full reliance on the honour of Toussaint, he determined to proceed. On arriving at head-quarters, he was desired to wait.
"Dan Duff's nothing," remarked he; "and Cheese is nothing; and others, who confess to have seen it, are nothing: and old Frost's not much. But I'd back Bourne's calmness and sound sense against the world, and I'd back Broom's." "And they have both seen it?" "Both," replied Jan. "Both are sure that it is Frederick Massingbird." "What will Mr.

An admirable account of the activities of English seamen in the sixteenth century is given by Walter Raleigh in volume XII of his edition of Hakluyt's Voyages.

If it be just for one moment, it is hallowed forever; and if it be inequitable, not a day should it be tolerated."

Before the door of the little inn they found a bicycle propped up drunkenly against the wall, and the Amorians, pumped though they were, had breath enough left to explode over Bourne's machine. It was a "solid" of pre-diamond-frame days, guiltless of enamel or plating, and handle-bars of width generous enough for a Dutch herring-boat's bow.

I looked at the bandages across his cheek, and I didn't think it small. "But, Aspinall, even if we leave you out of the business, it isn't a small matter for us, especially for Bourne." "Well, no; hardly for you," he admitted. "'Twas a piece of sheer bad form. It shouldn't be done at our place at all." "If you were in Bourne's place would you bar him his place in the eleven?"
