Chaucer was succeeded by H. Wads. Longfellow an American Writer. His writings were chiefly prose and nearly one hundred years elapsed. Shakspere translated the Scriptures and it was called St. James because he did it. In the middle of the chapter I find many pages of information concerning Shakespeare’s plays, Milton’s works, and those of Bacon, Addison, Samuel Johnson, Fielding, Richardson, Sterne, Smollett, De Foe, Locke, Pope, Swift, Goldsmith, Burns, Cowper, Wordsworth, Gibbon, Byron, Coleridge, Hood, Scott, Macaulay, George Eliot, Dickens, Bulwer, Thackeray, Browning, Mrs. Browning, Tennyson, and Disraeli—a fact which shows that into the restricted stomach of the public-school pupil is shoveled every year the blood, bone, and viscera of a gigantic literature, and the same is there digested and disposed of in a most successful and characteristic and gratifying public-school way. I have space for but a trifling few of the results: Lord Byron was the son of an heiress and a drunken man. Wm. Wordsworth wrote the Barefoot Boy and Imitations on Immortality. Gibbon wrote a history of his travels in Italy. This was original. George Eliot left a wife and children who mourned greatly for his genius. George Eliot Miss Mary Evans Mrs. Cross Mrs. Lewis was the greatest female poet unless George Sands is made an exception of. Bulwell is considered a good writer. Sir Walter Scott Charles Bronte Alfred the Great and Johnson were the first great novelists. Thomas Babington Makorlay graduated at Harvard and then studied law, he was raised to the peerage as baron in 1557 and died in 1776. Here are two or three miscellaneous facts that may be of value, if taken in moderation: Homer’s writings are Homer’s Essays Virgil the Aenid and Paradise lost some people say that these poems were not written by Homer but by another man of the same name. A sort of sadness kind of shone in Bryant’s poems. Holmes is a very profligate and amusing writer. When the public-school pupil wrestles with the political features of the Great Republic, they throw him sometimes: A bill becomes a law when the President vetoes it. The three departments of the government is the President rules the world, the governor rules the State, the mayor rules the city. The first conscientious Congress met in Philadelphia. The Constitution of the United States was established to ensure domestic hostility. Truth crushed to earth will rise again. As follows: The Constitution of the United States is that part of the book at the end which nobody reads. And here she rises once more and untimely. There should be a limit to public-school instruction; it cannot be wise or well to let the young find out everything: Congress is divided into civilized half civilized and savage. Here are some results of study in music and oratory: An interval in music is the distance on the keyboard from one piano to the next. A rest means you are not to sing it.
