The whole was so compact as to require, on ordinary occasions, but a single extra horse. As the Turkish post furnished only horses, they were obliged to add saddles and bridles to their other accoutrements; and to their saddles, as was usual, were attached holsters, to deter from hostile attacks upon them. To avoid unnecessary ...

Lafayette would agree to frighten the cowardly little corporal himself; they need not provide a sword for him, for he would take the corporal's.

Every day he would watch ...

The chief interest in this abnormality centers in the fact that the two small chromosomes ...

Spawn.—If brick spawn is used cut up the bricks (standard size) into ten or twelve pieces with a sharp hatchet, and avoid, as much as possible, making many crumbs, as is the case generally when a hammer or mallet is used in breaking the bricks.

A composer may so easily be tempted to forget that it is after all by his music, and by his music alone, that he stands or falls.

The listener will inevitably concentrate on the unessentials, and will as likely as not get them quite wrong; he may indeed indulge the habit ...
