This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: In this respect the moderns bear a strong resemblance to the primitive people. Authority, backed by a sword (a stick of another sort), induces in us a spirit of submission which the sword alone would produce as well. Men have never shown that they felt a platonic love for the stick?they have only feared it. CHAPTER IV. The Pre-historic Stick. The stick of the age of Flint.? The stick of the descendants of Jabel.? The first weapon of war.? To what nation do we owe it The ravaging conquerors of old times.? Those of to-day. HE archtTcology of pre-historic times shows us examples of the primitive stick with which our forefathers used to defend themselves against ferocious beasts. A dart, formed by the bone of some animal, - or cut from the horn of the young reindeer, with a sharpened flint, was artistically fixed in the endof a long stick. When I say artistically, I say it deliberately. In spite of the extraordinary simplicity, and the coarseness of the labor, we see that the artist has exercised his taste as well as his skill in fixing the head solidly into the stock. Ah at that time life was not a torment, as it is in our day. Hunting and fishing sufficed for men's needs, and if it be true that necessity is the mother of industry, it is also true that the leisure of an easy life engenders art. Those were happy times when the descendants of Jubal, the first shepherd, used the stick only to guide their flocks. Tubal Cain had taught men the art of working in metals, but the descendants of Abel for a long time only used them for the pickaxe and the plough. They had not as yet thought of arming with deadly iron the peaceful staff on which they leaned while watching their flocks. I see in imagination the first inhabitants of the earth, scattered along the bank...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Stick in All Ages and Lands Sir Thomas Urquhart "shook and laughed in Rabelais' easy chair;" and he put his delight into an alleged version of certain books of the Cure of Meudon which has become an English classic. We owe a great debt to him, and to his admirers and followers, the quaint old Norman "city merchant" Motteux, and Ozell. But Rabelais remains and to the end of time will remain untranslated and untranslatable. I have always held it an abomination to interlard English writing or English talk with foreign phrases or words. But if one is ever obliged (as may possibly happen) to cite a foreign author, it is not only an abomination, but the abomination of desolation, to cite him in any language but his own. Years ago, during a visit to England, I spent a summer afternoon with that delightful Spanish scholar and ideal Tory, Richard Ford, who thought Wellington and Waterloo the final cause of Spain and the Spaniards. It was at a charming villa, long since swept away in the maelstrom of modern improvements, near Wimbledon; and at his request I made Mr. Ford a sherry cobbler, of which in those days Englishmen had heard only from globetrotters and wandering Yankees, as the homekeeping dames of the Middle Ages heard of Persian sherbets from stray pilgrims and returned Crusaders. While we talked, one of the company quoted a proverb as from the lips of Sancho Panza. "Sancho Panza never said anything of the sort," replied Mr. Ford, "Motteux said it."
