"The Unknown Sea"
Clemence Housman

"Border and Bastille"
George A. Lawrence
If it were permitted to argue with power, might one not ask these gentlemen whether it would not be more natural, instead of wantonly Mooting these questions concerning their property, as if it were an exercise in law, to found it on the solid rock of prescription,-the soundest, the most general, and the most recognized title between man and man that is known in municipal or in public jurisprudence?
