those Huns, aud from whence were 10 come
those Fandals, WHO We're again to destroy CIV

Alas! IT did not occur to them that civilization
Itself might engendrr the barbarians who
would destroy it. II did not occur to them
that, IN the very heart Of gpeat capitals in the
nelsbhorhood Of splendid palaces, and church.
