Shannon, the old Blue, had brought down a rattling eleven--two Internationals among them--to give the school the first of its annual "Socker" matches. We have a particular code of football of our own, which the school has played time out of mind; but, ten years ago, the Association game was introduced, despite the murmuring of some of the masters, many of the parents--all old Amorians--and of Moore, the Head, who had yielded to varied pressures, but in his heart thought "Socker" vastly inferior to the old game. Association had flourished exceedingly; so much so that the Head made it a law that, on each Thursday in the Michaelmas term, the old game, and nothing but the old game, should be played, and woe betide any unauthorized "cutters" thereof.

The Romans Were A People That Originally Gave Their Almost Exclusive Attention To Agriculture And Stock-Raising. The Surnames Of The Most Illustrious Families, As Piso (Miller), Porcius (Swine-Raiser), Lactucinius (Lettuce-Raiser), Stolo (A Shoot), Etc., Prove This. To Say That A Man Was A Good Farmer Was, At One Time, To Bestow Upon Him The Highest Praise.[1] This Character, Joined To The Spirit Of Order And Private Avarice Which In A Marked Degree Distinguished The Romans, Has Contributed To The Development Among Them Of A Civil Law Which Is Perhaps The Most Remarkable Monument Which Antiquity Has Left Us. This Civil Code Has Become The Basis Of The Law Of European Peoples, And Recommends The Civilization Of Rome To The Veneration Of Mankind. [more]

ohn Bright (16 November 1811 – 27 March 1889), Quaker, was a British Radical and Liberal statesman, one of the greatest orators of his generation and a promoter of free trade policies. He is most famous for battling the Corn Laws. In partnership with Richard Cobden, he founded the Anti-Corn Law League, aimed at abolishing the Corn Laws, which raised food prices and protected landowners’ interests by levying taxes on imported wheat. The Corn Laws were ended in 1846. Bright also worked with Cobden in another Free Trade initiative, the Cobden-Chevalier Treaty of 1860, promoting closer interdependence between Britain and France. This campaign was conducted in collaboration with French economist Michel Chevalier, and succeeded despite Parliament’s endemic mistrust of the French. [more]

In "The Classic Point of View," published three years ago, I endeavored to give a clear and definitive statement of the principles on which all my criticism of art is based. The papers here gathered together, whether earlier or later than that volume, may be considered as the more detailed application of those principles to particular artists, to whole schools and epochs, even, in one case, to the entire history of the arts.
