The Last Days of pompeii.
"Cattle and Cattle-breeders"
William M'Combie
Surely the sentinels at the gates of pompeii, when the fiery shower fell on them, were not a greater example of heroic courage and military discipline.
"The Prime Minister"
W.H.G. Kingston
We learn from contemporary pictures that Anglo-Saxon bread consisted of round cakes, not unlike the Roman loaves of which we get representations in the pictures at pompeii, and not unlike our Good-Friday cross-buns, which we are told come down to us from our Saxon forefathers.
"England in the Days of Old"
William Andrews
