I do not say it was you, Selvagee; I but deferentially inquire. In plain prose, Selvagee was one of those officers whom the sight of a trim-fitting naval coat had captivated in the days of his youth. He fancied, that if a sea-officer dressed well, and conversed genteelly, he would abundantly uphold the honour of his flag, and immortalise the tailor that made him.
No; feeble as it is, I'll boldly raise My willing voice, to celebrate her praise, And with her name immortalise my lays.
It is his favourite, his most original, and novel work. For many triumphs of mind over matter Edison has been called the 'Napoleon of Invention, and the aptness of the title is enhanced by his personal resemblance to the great conqueror.

"Of course not; but I almost wish they would, that we might have an opportunity of putting my admirable plan of defence into execution. I'd give anything to see Biddy hurling defiance at the savages from the ramparts. I'm confident that we should make an heroic defence, and immortalise our names." "I wish you would not joke about so serious a matter," exclaimed Maud.

"Where would your heroes be a hundred years after their death, but for the men who immortalise them on canvas, and in print?
Of this poor sailor, and of the page in the ship's books that bore his name, Cowper wrote: No poet wept him; but the page Of narrative sincere, That tells his name, his worth, his age, Is wet with Anson's tear. And tears by bards or heroes shed Alike immortalise the dead.

He could only wish for the daylight to come, which was to immortalise him, and that was why he had come "a little" before his time.
