We gratefully recognize this; and yet, how many educated Englishmen have studied that little known chapter of our history, which gave to the progress of mankind a contribution to political science which your Gladstone praised as the greatest "ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man"? If "peace hath her victories no less renown'd than war," this achievement may well justify your study and awaken your admiration; for, as I have already said and cannot too strongly emphasize, it was the work of the English-speaking race, of men who, shortly before they entered upon this great work of constructive statecraft, were citizens of your Empire.

Pope has written a bad verse in the Windsor Forest: "And Kennet swift for silver Eels renown'd." The word renown'd does not present the idea of a visible object to the mind, and is thence prosaic. But change this line thus, "And Kennet swift, where silver Graylings play." and it becomes poetry, because the scenery is then brought before the eye. B. This may be done in prose.

"Sing out, boys!" shouted Mark, "so the girls can hear you! It's time they were comin' to look after us." "Sing, yourself!" some one replied. "You can out-bellow the whole raft." Without more ado, Mark opened his mouth and began chanting, in a ponderous voice, "On yonder mountain summit My castle you will find, Renown'd in ann-cient historee, My name it's Rinardine!"
