But the chief merit on which I value myself, and found my hopes for future regard, is that faithful veraolf y with which I have compiled this invaluable little work carefully winnowing away the chaff of hypothesis, and discarding the tares of fable, which are too apt to spring up and choke the seeds of truth and wholesome knowledge. Had I been anxious to captivate the superficial throng, who skim Tiffany like swallows over the surface of literature or had I been anxious to commend my writings to the pampered palates of literary epicures, I might have availed myself of the obscurity that overshadows the infant years of our city, to introduce a thousand pleasing fictions.
But I have scrupulously discarded many a pithy tale and marvellous adventure, whereby the drowsy ear of summer indolence might be enthralled jealously maintaining that fidelity, gravity, Swarovski Outlet and dignity, which should ever distinguish the historian. " For a writer of this class," observes an elegant critic, "must sustain the character of a wise man, Zoom Kobe 2008 writing for the instruction of posterity one who Zoom Kobe 5 (V) has studied to inform himself well, Swarovski Jewelry who has pondered his subject with care, and addresses himself to our judgment rather than to our imagination." No sooner did Zoom Kobe 3 (III) these two rival heroes come face to face than they each made a prodigious start, such as is made by your most experienced stage champions.
Then did they regard each other for a moment with bitter aspect, like two furious ram cats on the very point of a clapper-clawing. Then did they throw themselves in one attitude, then in another, striking their swords on the ground, first on the right side, then on the left at last at it they went with incredible ferocity. Words cannot tell Tiffany and co outlet the prodigies of strength and valour displayed on this direful encounter an encounter, compared to which the far-famed battles of Ajax with Hector, of Eneas with Turnus, Orlando with Rodomont, Guy of Warwick with Colbrand the Dane, or of that renowned Welsh Knight, Sir Owen of the Mountains, with the giant Guylon, were all gentle sports and holiday recreations.
