...last and made a grand fight, but the punishment had been too much for him. The round was decidedly in Austin's favor. The announcement of the decision that the bout had been awarded to Austin was greeted with storms of applause, which did not cease until, after some delay, the winner came out to receive...

That new country, notwithstanding the vast and absorbing interests of the present, notwithstanding the boundless hopes of the future, has been eager to claim her part in the heritage. While all the civilized nations of the world, one after another, have established their literary councils in Athens, shall England alone be unrepresented at the centre of Hellenic culture...
