There is Munro, who helped him in that Scottish survey, declares that nothing would induce him to again put himself in Mr Butler's power; and you will remember what a shocking report Mr Butler gave of Munro's behaviour during the survey. Yet the rest of us have found Munro to be invariably most good natured and obliging in every way. Then there was Fielding and Pierson and Marshall "
Munro's being of cast iron, while the others to which we have referred are of carbon rods such as are used in electric lighting. In connection with this apparatus Mr. Munro has observed that rust has no appreciable effect upon the efficiency of the instrument unless it be to such an extent as to cause the two to adhere, or to be "rusted up" together.
And then all the girls began to cry and wipe their eyes with their aprons, while the master and Bob shook hands silently. From that day and hour Bob Fraser would have slain any one offering to make trouble for the master, and Archibald Munro's rule was firmly established.
The place was extremely unhealthy, and great numbers died from malaria and fever, thirty of Munro's musketeers dying in a single week. During this time the king was negotiating with the Elector of Saxony and the Landgrave of Hesse.
There was sufficient moonlight to have enabled me to discern any object moving up or down the lane, but not a creature was in sight, not a cat or dog even traversed the weird whiteness of that lonely thoroughfare. Despite Munro's dictum, I passed out into the night air, and went down to the very banks of the Thames. There was not a boat within hail.
This is a powerful lever of which Indians may quickly learn the use. In another important direction the first session of the Legislature bore out Sir Thomas Munro's view, expressed, as we have already seen, a hundred years ago, that in India as elsewhere liberal treatment will be found the most effectual way of elevating the character of the people.
"Not acquainted with Macleane's Juvenal?" said the reverend scholar; "you will be greatly pleased with it; here it is, a posthumous work, edited by George Long. I can lend you Munro's Lucretius, '69. Aha! we have some scholars yet to pit against the Germans." "I am heartily glad to hear it," said Kenelm.
This attitude of suspense is not without precedent in archaeology. "Antiquarian lore," as Dr. Munro's very able arguments for adopting the second course, and deciding that the unfamiliar relics are assuredly impostures of yesterday's manufacture. Dr. Munro's acute and interesting book, Archaeology and False Antiquities, does not cover the whole of its amusing subject.
Finally, "there are indications that a bronze culture intervened in the south between the stone and the iron phases."* *Munro's Prehistoric Japan. The neolithic sites occur much more frequently in the northern than in the southern half of Japan. They are, indeed, six times as numerous on the north as on the south of a line drawn across the main island from the coast of Ise through Orai.
Three days before Christmas Hepburn's brigade had been moved in from their bivouac in the snow covered trenches, and assigned quarters in the town, and the count, who arrived on the following day, at once repaired to the mansion inhabited by the colonel and officers of Munro's regiment, and inquired for Malcolm Graheme. "You will find Captain Graheme within," the Scottish soldier on sentry said.
