...French Assembly was reported to have declared that England could not cope single-handed with the armies of the Tricolor. In one of his most elaborate and brilliant drawings, Gillray shows the thick-set Napoleon urging his fleet on; the chief interest, however, lies in the different reactions seen in the faces of the onlookers in England--Sheridan making a dramatic speech, and Fox hiding behind...
...chukker and never relinquished it. It was in the first and third chukkers that the Crimson riders concentrated their attack, scoring four and one-half and five goals in these chukkers respectively. The pace was continually increasing during the game which was one of the best college polo exhibitions seen in New York.

University press publications in the past have enabled the distribution of considerable material which otherwise might not have seen print and would have been lost to large circulation among scholars and general readers.

O. Soglow is a signature frequently seen also in the blithely capitalistic New Yorker. There he is the Harpo Marx of art, maintaining a pungent silence with untitled comic strip exercises in pantomime, often verging on the vulgar. Recently the New Yorker has been repeating, each week, the same Soglow drawing of an open manhole, from which...
