...almost all the valuable works on this period of our history. The work forms a very valuable aid to men who are studying the subject in private as well as those who have taken the course. The second part will be ready at the publisher's (Mr. Wheeler, 15 Brighton street) this morning...

The hounds used a plank in crossing the river, but lost some time at that place. The hares left their bags in the marsh, where they were finally found by the hounds...
