# Anglo-Saxon Riddles of the Exeter Book/I. Natural Phenomena

An annotated version of this text is available.
I. NATURAL PHENOMENA
The Storm riddles have pride of place not only because they stand first in the Exeter Book, but also because they outrank all the rest in poetic merit. After much discussion, the consensus now is that 1 is a separate riddle and 2 and 3 are a single riddle by a different author, in four parts and a conclusion. Thus 1 describes a destructive storm on land; 2, 3, divide as follows (a) 2, ll. 1–15, a submarine storm; (b) 3, ll. 1–16, an earthquake; (c) 3, ll. 17–35, a storm at sea; (d) 3, ll. 36–66, a thunderstorm on land; and (e) 3, ll. 67–72, a concluding review of (a), (b), (c), (d). The chief interest lies of course in the descriptions; the riddling element is merely, What produces the storms—are they from natural causes or are they of divine origin? Both authors reveal a knowledge of “Græco-Roman cosmology” (Plato, Lucretius, Pliny) and of mediæval theory (Isidore, Bede); and the answer is, accordingly, not which but both. The Christian will say “God,” the learned will answer “Natural Causes”; and both are right.

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Huntington, Frederick Dan

Edition of 1900.
​HUNTINGTON, Frederick Dan, P. E. bishop, b. in Hadley, Mass., 28 May, 1819. His father, Dan Huntington, was a graduate and tutor of Yale, and had charge of Congregational churches in Con- necticut, but subsequently became a Unitarian. He published "Personal Memoirs" (1857). The son was graduated at Amherst in 1839, and at Har- vard divinity-school in 1842. He was then or- dained pastor of the South Congregational church in Boston, and in 1855 became preacher to Harvard, and Plummer professor of Christian morals in that university, which post he held till 1860. He also served as chaplain and preacher to the Massachusetts legislature. He withdrew from the Unitarian denomination, and took orders in the Protestant Episcopal church in 1860. He then organized the Emmanuel parish of Boston, and was its rector until he was consecrated bishop of central New York, 8 April, 1869. In 1861 he established with Dr. George M. Randall the "Church Monthly." He has contributed to various reviews and periodicals, and published many sermons and addresses. Among these are "Sermons for the People" (Boston, 1836; 9th ed., 1869); "Lessons on the Parables of our Saviour" (1856); "Sermons on Christian Living and Believing" (1860); "Lectures on Human Society as illustrating the Power, Wisdom, and Goodness of God" (1860); " Elim, or Hymns of Holy Refreshment" (1865); "Lessons for the Instruction of Children in the Divine Life" (1868); "Helps to a Holy Lent " (1872) ; and "Steps to a Living Faith" (1873).

He was chosen by the house of bishops to write the " Pastoral Letter," and to read the same at the general convention of 1883 in Philadelphia. Amherst gave him the degree of LL. D. in 1887.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Humboldt, Friedrich Heinrich Alexander von

Edition of 1900. Supplement. The 1889 edition says "the greater part" rather than "a part" of the atlas of Mexico, and omits the information on the dahlia.
HUMBOLDT, Friedrich Heinrich Alexander von, German naturalist, b. in Berlin, 14 Sept., 1789; d. there, 6 May, 1859. He studied at the Universities of Frankfort and Göttingen and the mining academy at Freiberg, and from 1794 till 1799 was engaged in scientific research, writing, and travel. In 1799 he went to Spain and procured from the king permission to visit and make scientific investigations in all the Spanish possessions in Europe, America, and the East Indies. Such extensive privileges had never before been granted to any traveller. His exploration of the Orinoco river was the lirst that furnished any positive knowledge of the long-disputed bifurcation of that stream. In 1802, in exploring the volcanoes of Ecuador, he ascended heights that had not previously been attained, and on Chimborazo reached the altitude of 19,286 feet. Afterward he made a profile of Mexico from sea to sea, the first that was ever given of any entire country. Humboldt then went to Havana, and after two months' residence there completed the materials for his “Essai politique sur l'île de Cuba” (Paris, 1826). He embarked thence for Philadelphia, was received
with cordiality by President Jefferson, and, leaving this country, landed at Bordeaux, 3 Aug., 1804, having spent five years in America, and gained a larger store of observations and collections in all departments of natural science, geography, statistics, and ethnography than all previous travellers. His subsequent life was devoted to the prosecution of scientific research and discovery. His journey in South America is an important event in the history of that country. With his own hands he made the map of the Orinoco and the Magdalena, and a part of the atlas of Mexico. He travelled with the barometer in his hands from Bogotá to Lima, and made 459 measurements of altitudes, which were often confirmed by trigonometrical calculations. Humboldt discovered the dahlia, a small, single flower, in Mexico, which received its name from his friend, Prof. Andrew Dahl, the botanist. His works include “Ansichten der Natur,” a general sketch of the results of his inquiries in America (Stuttgart, 1808), and “Kosmos” (5 vols., 1845-'62). Many biographies of him have appeared, the best being “ Alexander von Humboldt, eine wissenschaftliche Biographie,” edited by Karl Bruhns (3 vols., Leipsic, 1872; English translation by Jane and Caroline Lassells, 2 vols., London, 1872). His most
important works relating to America are “Voyage aux régions équinoxiales du nouveau continent dans les années 1799 à 1804” (Paris, 1807-'16), and “Essai politique sur le royaume de la Nouvelle Espagne” (Paris, 1811).

​HUMMING-BIRD, Indian chief, b. in Tennessee in 1742; d. in Nashville, Tenn., 23 Dec., 1827. He was friendly with the settlers, and their ally in many difficulties with the Indians. In the campaigns of Gen. Anthony Wayne and Gen. Charles Scott in 1794 against the northwestern tribes, he led a company of sixty friendly warriors, and also distinguished himself in the war against the Creeks and the British. His commission and a silver medal that he received from Gen. Washington were, by his request, buried with him.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Humphrey, James

Edition of 1900.
​HUMPHREY, James, printer, b. in Philadelphia, Pa., in 1747; d. there, 10 Feb., 1810. After receiving a liberal education he studied medicine, but afterward learned the printing business with William Bradford, and in January, 1775, began the publication of the " Ledger, or the Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey Weekly Advertiser." He held for a time the office of clerk to the orphans' court of Philadelphia, and, when called upon to take up arms in defence of the colony, declined to do so, pleading the obligation of his oath of allegiance to the crown, which he had taken to qualify himself for this office. He came to be regarded a Tory, and his paper was denounced. In November, 1776, its publication was suspended until the British occupied the city, when, on 10 Oct., 1777, it again appeared, this time with the royal arms at its head. When the British evacuated the city, Humphrey made his exit, and, after remaining in New York for a short time, sailed for England, and thence to Nova Scotia, where he opened a printing-house and issued the "Nova Scotia Packet." This enterprise not proving a success, he sold the paper, and, after engaging in mercantile business until 1797, established a publishing-house in Philadelphia.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Humphrey, Heman

Edition of 1900.
​HUMPHREY, Heman, clergyman, b. in West Simsbury, Conn., 26 March, 1779 ; d. in Pittsfield, Mass., 3 April, 1861. He taught to enable him to attend college, and was graduated at Yale in 1805. After studying theology under Timothy Dwight, he was pastor of the Congregational church at Fairfield, Conn.,in 1807-'17,in Pittsfield in 1817-'23,and president of Amherst in 1823-'45. Taking charge of that institution in its infancy, he contributed largely to its growth and prosperity, and impressed upon it much of his own character. He was one of the pioneers of the temperance reform in 1810, preached six sermons on intemperance, and in 1813 drew up a report to the Fairfield association of ministers, which is believed to be the first temperance tract that was published in the United States. Among the most celebrated of his tracts on this subject is his " Parallel between Intemperance and the Slave-Trade," which was also a formidable indictment of slavery. For fifty years he was a constant contributor to periodicals and literary journals. Middlebury gave him the degree of D. D. in 1823. He published " Essays on the Sabbath " (New York, 1830) ; " Tour in France, Great Britain, and Belgium " (1838) ; " Domestic Education " (Amherst, 1840) ; " Letters to a Son in the Ministry " (New York, 1842); "Life and Writings of Prof. Nathan W. Fiske " (1850) ; " Life and Writings of Thomas S. Gallaudet " (1857) ; and " Sketches and History of Revivals" (1859). — His son, Edward Porter, clergyman, b. in Fairfield, Conn., 28 Jan., 1809, was graduated at Amherst in 1828, and at the Andover theological seminary in 1833. He was tutor in Amherst in 1832-'3, ordained to the ministry in 1834, and for the next two years was pastor in Jefferson, Ind., and was called to the 2d Presbyterian church in Louisville, Ky., in 1836. He resigned this charge in 1853 to become professor of ecclesiastical history in the Presbyterian theological seminary in Danville, Ky., and remained there till 1866, when he became pastor of a Presbyterian church in Louisville. Since 1879 he has been pastor emeritus. In 1861 he was associate editor of the " Danville Review." — Another son, James, lawyer, b. in Fairfield, Conn., 9 Oct., 1811; d. in Brooklyn, N. Y., 17 June, 1866, was graduated at Amherst in 1831, studied law, and practised in Louisville, Ky., and afterward in New York city, lie removed to Brooklyn in 1848, was corporation counsel in 1850-'l, and in 1858 was elected to congress as a Republican. He served as a member of the committee on foreign affairs and the select committee on the seceding states. He was defeated for congress in 1860 and in 1862, but was re-elected in 1864, and was chairman of the committee on expenditures in the naval department.

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Huitziton

Edition of 1892.
​HUITZITON, Mexican soldier, lived about the 6th century. He was elected leader of the Mexicans in their long and dangerous peregrinations from the north of the continent to the valley of Mexico. During the march, the Mexicans had to fight many battles against the nations in their way, but, under the command of Huitziton they were always victorious. The prevision of this chieftain was so great that he caused seed to be planted in the different resting-places on their way. When they had not enough provisions, he asked the tribes through which he passed for them, offering in exchange some products of his people's industry; and, if they refused, he fought till he obtained them. He died at a very old age, and his people deified him. He is represented as seated at the left of Mapoche, the lord of the heavens. Many fabulous stories are related among the Mexicans regarding him. After his deification he took different names. Before the separation of the Tlaxcaltecs and Mexicans they divided the bones of Huitziton, and the Tlaxcalans called their god Camaxtle, to distinguish him from the Mexican god.

Andrews v. Hensler
Treatin the amended answer as an answer in addition to the general denial, we do not perceive any error in the refusal of the court below to instruct the jury, as requested, with respect to its effect. The rule which prevails in Louisiana on the subject of general and special pleas, as declared in the decisions of her courts, is that they may be presented together, if consistent with each other. Inconsistent or contradictory pleas alone are forbidden. #fn-s-s
The amended answer amounts only to the averment of a fact which, if established, would tend to show that the warranty alleged in the petition was not given in the absolute form there averred. It only specifies a particular fact in aid of the general denial.
The second exception is to that part of the charge which relates to the period within which it was necessary for the purchaser to tender back or offer to return the slaves. The court charged, 'that in order to a complete rescission of the contract, the tender should have been made in a reasonable time; and if the jury found that it was not made in a reasonable time, the plaintiff was only entitled to recover for the damages he had sustained by the slaves being defective.' The civil code of Louisiana, when the action was commenced, limited to one year the time in which actions could be brought for the rescission of sales of slaves on account of redhibitory defects, and hence it is contended, that the purchaser had the same period within which to offer to return the slaves to the vendor.
The rule that he who seeks to rescind a contract of sale, must first offer to return the property received, and place the other party in the position he formerly occupied, so far as practicable, prevails equally at the civil and the common law. It is a rule founded in natural justice, and requires that the offer shall be made by the purchaser to his vendor upon the discovery of the defects for which the rescission is asked. The vendor may then receive back the property, and be able by proper care and attention to preserve it, or he may have recourse upon other parties, the remedies against whom might be lost by delay. He must be permitted to judge for himself what measures are necessary for his interest and protection, and if the purchaser by delay deprives him of the opportunity of thus protecting himself, he cannot demand a rescission of the contract.
The purchaser must use reasonable diligence to apprise his vendor of the defects alleged, and to make the tender; and what is reasonable diligence is a question of fact, to be decided by the jury according to the special circumstances of each case. #fn-s-s-s
