This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1876 edition. Excerpt: ...a quarrel rings like steel. The brave old strife the fathers saw For Freedom calls for men again Like those who battled not in vain For England's Charter, Alfred's law; And right of speech and trial just Wage in your name their ancient war With venal courts and perjured trust God's ways seem dark, but, soon or late, They touch the shining hills of day; The evil cannot brook delay, The good can well afford to wait.

Above the Pyramids Stretches once more that hand, And tranced Egypt, from her stony lids, Flings back her veil of sand, And morning-smitten Memnon, singing, wakes And, listening by his Nile, O'er Amnion's grave and awful visage breaks A sweet and human smile. Hot, as before, with hail and fire, and call Of death for midnight graves, The Arab by his desert well Sits choosing from some Caliph's daughters, And hears his single camel's bell Sound welcome to his regal quarters.
