indeed of their coming like a cloud from the east | and sweeping over Europe with the sudden destructiveness

| of a thunderstorm or a swarm of locusts, but their migrations | have little or no interest for us, except in their immediate | or their ultimate effects | upon civilised nations. Those races may be regarded | as out of history,

| whose doings form no part of the one great connected tale of human progress, / and which might indeed | be left out of mention altogether | without our understanding | the story less well. It is only when barbarians | come into contact | with the progressing, | building, | discovering, I reading, writing, I thinking world that they have any history.

B. About the first week in October | the rich green tint | of herbage and foliage | which prevailed through the whole summer | has usually passed away. The brilliant

and various colours of the fern | are then in harmony with the autumn woods, bright yellow | or lemon colour

at the base of the mountains, | melting gradually through orange | to a dark brown | towards the summits, | where the plant, | being more exposed to the weather, 1 is in a more advanced state of decay. | Heath and furze

are seldom found | upon the sides of these mountains,

though their level tops and terraces are frequently adorned with those plants / so beautiful when in flower.
