BATTLE EPIGRAMS.
A Collection of Famous Phrases by
Commanders of Many Countries.
(From The London Naval and Military
Secord,)

(From The London Naval and Military
iecord.)
The origin OF considerable number Of
vivid phrases and memorable utterances
can be attI iblted to the ru sh OF battle.
Some are apocryphal and may have been
manufactured after the event; others
are only correct in substance, and have
undergone revision. But IL the process
of sub.editing, as 1t were. has resulted
in improving the phrassology. without
altering the sense or ots,uring the essen
tial point, 1t would SAVIOR OF hypsr-orlti-
cism to object TO 1t as u blsmish.
An illustration Of this Is to tie found In
the case of the famous signal at Trafal-
gar. It's popular form is England ex-
poets that every man this day will do his
duty" There is still some controversy
upon the point, but 1t is certain that
thes, are not the prsc S, words used. They
have, in fact, been expanded to meet the
metrical exigeuc.es OF Braham's song.
No mstter; 1t Is enough for US to know
that the kernel Is there. This was a
spontaneous epigram, but IL has achieved

ton with great and splendid victory,
hut also because 1t smtoiiss sermon
