עמוד 161 - Their van will be upon us Before the bridge goes down; And if they once may win the bridge, What hope to save the town ! " Then out spake brave Horatius, The Captain of the Gate : "To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late; And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds For the ashes of his fathers And the temples of his Gods...
עמוד 309 - Island folk feel in despair of attaining to such graceful precision of language as we read. Now the book appears in an English form and with its English title, very much increased in bulk, and one of the best illustrated volumes of the season — dressed, in fact, in purple and fine linen — a pleasure to handle, a joy to read, and bearing with it, when one gets to the end of it, a conviction that one has become a much more learned man than one was a week ago, for that somehow one has absorbed a...
עמוד 308 - I envy this man his style, his subtlety, his lightness of touch, his thoroughness. ... At last we have — or rather shall have when the work is complete — a real History of literature." — Dr. AUGUSTUS JESSOPP in the Illustrated London News. " M. Jusserand's qualifications for the task which he has undertaken are of a high order. . . . We cordially commend both to English and French readers this brilliant and thoughtful book, and shall look forward with high expectation to the appearance of its...
עמוד 310 - Sketches BY AUGUSTUS JESSOPP, DD Fourteenth Impression. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. " The papers which show Dr. Jessopp at his best are, without doubt that on 'Village Life Six Hundred Years Ago' and the two on 'The Black Death in East Anglia.' These reveal that historic imagination, that power of making the past live again, of taking one beyond the record of the court roll to the man who signed the deed or the suitors who formed the court, and finding out how they lived and what they did, which Dr. Jessopp...
עמוד 280 - Evil for evil, a good despotism, in a country at all advanced in civilisation, is more noxious than a bad one; for it is far more relaxing and enervating to the thoughts, feelings, and energies of the people.
עמוד 69 - Church preferment;' and in another place (p. 275) says that 'he often lays down with great confidence what turns out afterwards to be wrong.' In the House of Lords he once said that ' he did not know what the mass of the people in any country had to do with the laws but to obey them.
עמוד 310 - It is delightful to have them thus collected, for few writers have Dr. Jessopp's gift of painting to the life. His 'Village Life Six Hundred Years Ago' is as graphic and as truthful as one of Richard Jefferies's sketches of to-day. His papers on 'The Black Death' and on 'The Building of a University ' are full of teaching ; and no one has ever discussed with more intelligent appreciation that mediaeval Salvation Army of which Franciscans and Dominicans were the two main corps.
עמוד 305 - It is primarily a description, and a very pleasant one, of the Carpathian forests and valleys, and of the kindly, genial, picturesque peasantry that inhabit them." — Manchester Guardian, " Miss Stratilesco's fascinating work." — Scotsman. " A comprehensive book written by one who knows the country and people intimately." — Daily Graphic. "The book is very full and useful, amounting to a complete study from all points of the Roumanian peasant-nation. It is well illustrated from photographs,...
עמוד 306 - ... storehouse of good things, for in the course of various mineralogical expeditions the author has roughed it in many remote quarters of the globe, and a large share of strange and thrilling experiences has fallen to his lot. At the same time he possesses a literary skill with which few travellers are gifted. The episodes in his career which the book relates fall under three heads. In Part I., " The Frozen North," he gives some vivid sketches of rough and tumble life in the Klondyke region ; Part...
