Cellarius bestowed much pains on ancient geography. That branch of the science which pays more especial regard to the distances of places, was much advanced by Sanson, in France; Blew, in Holland; and Buraeus, in Sweden. We must now turn to the progress of commerce during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
"'Within one hundred feet of you, in those willows; when it is dark, I will go and get it and put it on that stump by the big tree; go then and get it. But where will you put it? "'I'm going to pack it in the bottom of a jar of butter. "'Good idea, little girl! I think you'd make a good thief yourself. How's my friend, Sanson?
Hondius and the geographers who have followed him, with the exception of De L'Isle , and of Sanson , place the province of Amapaja erroneously to the east of the Orinoco. Where are the rivers Dauney and Ubarro? The Orinoco above the confluence of the Apure was at that period as little known to Europeans, as in our time the course of the Niger below Sego.
Then, we'll go to the Opera. We'll get in with the hired applauders. The Opera claque is well managed. I wouldn't associate with the claque on the boulevard. At the Opera, just fancy! some of them pay twenty sous, but they're ninnies. They're called dishclouts. And then we'll go to see the guillotine work. I'll show you the executioner. He lives in the Rue des Marais. Monsieur Sanson.
The name of Niagara, written Onguiaahra by Lalemant in 1641, and Ongiara by Sanson, on his map of 1657, is used by Hennepin in its present form. His description of the falls is the earliest known to exist. They are clearly indicated on the map of Champlain, 1632. For early references to them, see "The Jesuits in North America," 143.
They have over fifty pounds of gold-dust and nuggets hidden under the floor of the old mill. "'Well, says I, 'that hadn't ought to worry you so. "'But that isn't all the story, she continued; 'we have discovered a plot on the part of Mr. Sanson to rob papa of the gold and burn the mill and sluice-boxes, to hide the crime.
On the maps of America, published in 1587 by Abraham Ortellus, of Antwerp, in 1626 by John Speed, of London, and in 1656 by Sanson d'Abbeville in Paris, the whole region to the north of the Orinoco is marked Caribana.
After burning seventy of the best warriors, they put out the eyes of the old men, and cut away their lips, and then left them to drag out a miserable existence. Behold the scourge that is depopulating all this country!" Relation des Hurons, 1644, 98. In the map of Sanson, they are placed in the southern part of Michigan; and according to the Relation of 1658, they had thirty towns.
M. Sanson you know the great training man? wanted me to sing in one of my thoraxes or glottises or oesophaguses. I believe I have several, but I don't know which is which. He said my voice would last better. But I said I would have both helpings at once; a recollection of nursery dinner, you know...." "I understand Achilles's view. There, you see!"
Sanson, cried my father, striking the point of his compasses through Nevers into the table and nodding to my uncle Toby to see what was in the letter twice of one night, is too much for an English gentleman and his son, Mons. Sanson, to be turned back from so lousy a town as Nevers What think'st thou, Toby? added my father in a sprightly tone.
