As Geographers Crowd Into The Edges Of Their Maps Parts Of The World Which They Do Not Know About, Adding notes In the Margin To The Effect That Beyond This Lies Nothing but Sandy Deserts Full Of Wild Beasts, Unapproachable Bogs, Seythian Ice, Or Frozen Sea, So, In this Great Work Of Mine, In which I Have Compared The Lives Of The Greatest Men With One Another, After Passing through Those Periods Which Probable Reasoning Can Reach To And Real History Find A Footing in, I Might Very Well Say Of Those That Are Farther Off, Beyond This There Is Nothing but Prodigies And Fictions; The Only Inhabitants Are The Poets And Inventors Of Fables; There Is No Credit, Or Certainty Any Farther.

Oh, Yes! We May Be Sure That When The Day'S Work Was Done, When The Fight Or The Chase Was Over, They Gathered round The Wood Fire And Listened to The Tales Of The Story-Teller [mehr]
