form in the ode of Horace, "Integer vitae" (i. 22), in which he describes
the portentous wolf which fled from him?

[24] Ti-Ping Tien-Kwoh; The History of the Ti-Ping Revolution, by Lin-Le,
special agent of the Ti-Ping General-in-Chief, &c. Davy and Son, London,
1866. Vol. 1. p. 806.

Mr. Andrew Wilson, author of "The Ever-Victorious Army" (Blackwood, 1868),
speaks with much contempt of Lin-Le's book. In a note (page 389) he
brings, certain charges against the author. Mr. Wilson's book is written to
glorify Gordon, Wood, and others, who accepted roving commissions against
the Ti-Pings; and of course he takes their view of the insurrection. The
accusations he brings against Lin-Le, even if correct, do not detract from
the apparent accuracy of that writer's story, nor from the weight of his
arguments.
