On the other side of a point covered with thick bush they came upon the remains of a large Indian camp, which had evidently been occupied very recently. Indeed, the ashes of some of the fires, Rollin declared, were still warm; but it was probably Rollin's imagination which warmed them.
I know I threw out a good many valuable and pretty things by the roadside. I remember six volumes of Rollin's Ancient History, nicely bound, with my name on the back, that were piled up and left. We followed along near the Santa Clara River till it emptied into the Virgin River. It was somewhere along here that we first saw some Yucca trees. The boys often set fire to them to see them burn.
Massol, as being on the Council of State, and Claude Vignon, erewhile Professor of Greek, had related to the ignorant damsels the famous anecdote, preserved in Rollin's Ancient History, concerning Combabus, that voluntary Abelard who was placed in charge of the wife of a King of Assyria, Persia, Bactria, Mesopotamia, and other geographical divisions peculiar to old Professor du Bocage, who continued the work of d'Anville, the creator of the East of antiquity.
Ce n'est pas la victoire, c'est le combat qui fait le bonheur des nobles coeurs. Montalembert. Si le Tout-puissant tenait dans une main la vérité, et dans l'autre la recherche de la vérité, c'est la recherche que je lui demanderais. Lessing. Dryden, of Shakspeare. Miss Ferrier. Mrs. Napoleon's remark on Rollin's History. 1 Cor. x. 31. 1 Pet. iii. 1.

'Find it! was all she said. He had been absent for a few minutes after a sheep that had got into difficulties in the Red Brook, and when he returned, his volume of Rollin's 'Ancient History' 'Lias's latest loan which he had imprudently forgotten to take with him, had disappeared.
Also, I cannot help remembering, that, on the whole, I have been more intensely bored with works of fiction, beginning with "Gil Blas," and ending with on the whole, I won't even mention it, than I ever was by the Latin Grammar or Rollin's History.

Heap better thtory than that big book that you're a mumblin' over, Mr. Puddin'." "We don't like interesting stories," said the sleepy reader. "They put us to sleep. This is the best book in the world. It's Rollin's Ancient History, and it hasn't got but a few interesting spots in the whole of it. Those we keep sewed up, so that we can't read them.
