National Rifle-Shooting Match: The Royal Rifle Match on Wimbledon Common (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from National Rifle-Shooting Match: The Royal Rifle Match on Wimbledon Common
If men, godlike almost in power themselves, felt it thus well to seek celestial aid, how much more needing the kind offices of gods, goddesses, and muses, am I? So far as history records, it does not seem that Homer was any way hurried in his work; and I never could learn that a legion of printer's devils were ever let loose to worry the hard of Mantua. Virgil had ample time to write his copy; and write it deliberately he did, in fair Italian hand. As for Milton, though blind, he had the luxury of a fair amanuensis. No eyes had he to dim; his hand could never tire.
