"She paid it homage by kissing her hand to it

That standard Of freedom, worshipped by the
oppressed of all nations" s remarkably pretty
and astonishngly original phrase.

an entirely different account of the affair is given
by the Brazilians themselves:

are the Leonidas, Astrea Serea and Anna when the
