But it was in a fair way. There wouldn't be another great book from England under a month, and there was a fine time to lay his egg in the sun and have it hatched. It'll chirp merrily, I warrant you, when it's once out!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
