Extend beyond his sleeve.”

The Dauntless Three.
This is the title of a parody, issued in pamphlet form by Messrs. J. Hall and Son, Cambridge. Second edition 1874, price sixpence, and said to be by A. de L. H. It would certainly be of literary interest to know the author’s name of this humorous, and scholarly parody of Macaulay’s Horatius, as the same initials are prefixed to another parody, of a similar character, entitled “The Battle of Lake Mort,” which will be more fully described when dealing with parodies of Macaulay’s “Battle of the Lake Regillus.”
“The Dauntless Three,” consists of forty two verses, with a number of burlesque latin notes. The subject of the parody is the well worn theme of the “Town and Gown” rows.
