Reading edition

Cooper's hammer was of boxwood. Millington applies to his own the Homeric line, δεινὴ δὲκλαγγὴ γενετ' ἀργνρέοιο βιοῖο, which anyone is quite at liberty to believe. James Christie's original hammer is still in the possession of the firm; Samuel Baker's belongs to Mr. H. B. Wheatley.
