Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English Caricature and Satire on Napoleon I, Vol. 2 of 2 The Volunteer movement was well shown in a print by A. M., November 1803: ´Boney attacking the English Hives, or the Corsican caught at last in the Island.´ There are many hives, the chief of which has a royal crown on its top, and is labelled ´Royal London Hive. Thread-needle Street Honey´ - which Napoleon is attacking, sword in hand. George the Third, as Bee Master, stands behind the hives, and says, ´What! what! you plundering little Corsican Villain, have you come to rob my industrious Bees of their Honey? I won´t trust to your oath. Sting, Sting the Viper to the heart my good Bees, let Buz, Buz be the Word in the Island.´ The bees duly obey their master´s request, and come in clouds over Napoleon, who has to succumb, and pray, kneeling, ´Curse those Bees they sting like Scorpions. I did not think this Nation of Shopkeepers could sting so sharp. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
