Were it not for the fact that Congreve and to turn to the opposite pole, Bunyan are also included in the reading list the course would be just what one would expect from the author of "The Hind and the Panther." Few undergraduates have reached that precious stage where Dryden delights rather than bores...
...maintenance of peace and tranquility," few statesmen could construe its major clauses otherwise than a loud war-threat to nations which might conceivably wish to attack Italy or Albania: a tiny Adriatic republic, mountainous, pestilence-ridden, and shaken early this year by a devastating earthquake.

When they looked across the room at No. 21, they wondered what wild emotion caused the bronze woman to clasp her hands and open her mouth in so inane a fashion. Some of the sharper babbits decided...
