We shook our (not ambrosial) garments, and panting with heat, stings, and vexation, moved a few paces from the scene of our misfortune, and again sat down; but this time it was upon the solid earth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
