The spectators gazed with increased wonder. 'They surely will not aim at such a mark as that,' said the one to another. But the royal bowman stepped to the line, and after carefully adjusting his arrow, let it fly: it peeled off the bark of the wand as it passed by, and alighted in the earth a few yards farther on. A loud huzzah rent the air, and 'Clifton! a Clifton!' was shouted from one end of the lists to the other. The gay yeoman did not wait till these cries had subsided. 'I will notch his shaft,' he said aloud as he advanced composedly to his post; and fitting his arrow, he drew the bowstring to his ear, and after one moment's deliberation, discharged the weapon with his utmost force. The shaft flew true, and to the amazement of the beholders, rived asunder that of his opponent. At first a deep silence prevailed, many could not see where the arrow had struck, and some were dumb with astonishment; but when one of the attendants pulled it forth, a shout of applause was raised, so loud, and so vehement, that those of the good citizens of London who had remained at home, rushed forth from the gates in hundreds to inquire the cause of so violent an outbreak."Contents:CHAPTER 1.

Joseph Cundall (22 September 1818 Norwich – 10 January 1895 Wallington, London), was a Victorian English writer under the pseudonym of "Stephen Percy", a pioneer photographer and London publisher of children's books. He provided employment for many of the best artists of the day by using them as illustrators. Joseph was the son of Eliza and Benjamin Cundall, a draper. He trained as a printer in Ipswich, and aged 16 found work in London with Charles Tilt, a bookseller and publisher. He wrote two books for Tilt and succeeded N Hailes in 1841 at the Juvenile Library, 12 Old Bond Street. In 1848 he started a lending library for children called St. George's Reading Library. In 1843 Cundall became publisher of the Home Treasury children's books, a series conceived and edited by Henry Cole under the pseudonym Felix Summerly. Cole, who was later knighted, became the first director of South Kensington Museum which later changed its name to the Victoria and Albert Museum. Because of his association with Henry Cole, his early business ventures were successful, but by 1849 he had gone bankrupt. During the same year he started a partnership with H M Addey and moved his business premises to 21 Old Bond Street. This partnership dissolved in 1852 and Cundall moved to 168 New Bond Street, where his interest in photography started and where he founded
