# A Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields/Réverie (Auguste Lacaussade)

RÉVERIE.
AUGUSTE LACAUSSADE.
Tell me, O moving star, with wings of light That floatest in the azure of the sky, Where goest thou? What goal is in thy sight? Wilt thou not furl thy wings somewhere on high?
Tell me, O pensive moon, whom oft I mark, Threading the milky way the heavens disclose, In what strange cavern, luminous or dark, Thou shalt at last, fair pilgrim, find repose?
Tell me, O wind, that wanderest through space Like a poor prodigal without hearth or home, Is there for thee no quiet resting-place In forest brown or on the ocean-foam?
Tell me, O wave, that with a hungry roar Lashest the mountains tow'ring by the deep, Past the horizon line is there no shore Where thou shalt glide serene and fall asleep?
And thou, O heart, more wild than billow vext, Or fretful wind whose conflicts never cease, Is there no spot in this world or the next Where thou canst find forgetfulness and peace?
# A Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields/Reveries (Sainte-Beuve)

REVERIES.
SAINTE-BEUVE.
'Tis eve; the garish day has past! Upon their thrones mysterious rise The silent moon and stars at last: And like a placid lake and vast, My soul reflects them and the skies.
Down, down beneath the waves of thought, The fair lake spreads o'er sands of gold, And there the vault is balanced, wrought In colours softer, vainly sought In the blue pall above unrolled.
Enamoured with the picture grand, At first I gaze, and only gaze; But soon desiring more, my hand I stretch to touch the fairy land, And back recoil in wild amaze.
Sudden departs the starry vault, Departs the light that charmed the view. O foolish poet, thine the fault! That sight no more shall thee exalt: Reflected moon and stars, adieu!
'Fair moon and stars no longer hide,' My foolish hope renounced, I cry; And by degrees the waves subside, Once more the picture in the tide Is mirrored—oh so gloriously!
Shall I again attempt, I think, To seize the mirage as before? Ah no! But leaning on the brink, The calm that late I drank shall drink, And dream, and dream for evermore.
# A Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields/Romance (Chateaubriand)

ROMANCE.
CHATEAUBRIAND.
Sweet, oh sweet is thy memory My birth-place hid in greenery! My sister, how the days seemed fair When we First breathed of France the liberal air Down there!
Dost thou like me remember clear How oft while we the hearth stood near, Our mother clasped us, nothing loth, My dear? And we her hair with answering troth Kissed both?
Dost thou remember, proud and hoar, The chateau by the river Dore, And fairer still, the turret high Of More, Whence bells proclaimed to earth and sky, Day nigh?
Dost thou remember too the lake Whose calm the swallows skimmed to break While reeds by zephyrs wooed and won Would shake, And sank, his course of glory done, The sun?
Oh, who shall give me Helen back? The great oak and the mountain track;— Though sorrow hang the passing day In black, One landscape shall rich hues array For aye!
# A Study of Victor Hugo/Preface

PREFACE.
If the title chosen for this book should be impeached on the score of inaccuracy and presumption, I must admit that it might not seem easy to confute the charge. A full and thorough study of the great master whose name is the crowning glory of the nineteenth century could scarcely be comprised in ten times the space here allotted to a rapid and imperfect survey of so sublime and inexhaustible a subject. My principal aim has been to bring into more prominent relief such aspects of the poet and the man as hitherto, for various worse or better reasons, have found least recognition or least acknowledgment in England. It is on this account, no less than on account of my own conscious inability to say anything unfamiliar to anybody in praise of his great romances, that only a few words have been given to works of world-wide fame, and of a popularity qualified only by the exceptional protests of malignant or obtuse eccentricity. Notre Dame de Paris and Les Misérables need little more introduction to foreign readers than to French: and as a dramatist Victor Hugo is probably far ​better known abroad than as a lyric or elegiac or epic or satiric poet. I have no further excuse and no better explanation to offer for such various and serious shortcomings as will probably be detected in a work which at least lays no claim to completeness and makes no pretence to adequacy; but which, if it should ever be found serviceable as an introduction to the study of the greatest writer whom the world has seen since Shakespeare, will have fulfilled the utmost hope and realized the utmost ambition of its author.

​JOHNSTONE. (Commander, 1841. f-p., 22; h-p., 14.)
William Johnstone was born in 1795, at Edinburgh.
This officer entered the Navy, 5 Nov. 1811, as Ordinary, on board the Nightingale 16, Capt. Christopher Nixon, in which vessel he served in the North Sea and Channel, latterly as Midshipman, until Aug. 1815. He was next, between Nov. 1815 and Sept. 1818, employed in the Newcastle 50, Capts. Sam. Roberts and Henry Meynell, fitting at Woolwich, and in the Cyrus 20, Capt. Wm. Fairbrother Carroll, on the coast of Ireland; after which (having passed his examination in March of the latter year) he served, from July, 1820, to Nov. 1823, part of the time as Admiralty-Midshipman, in the Martial 10, Lieut -Commander Robt. M‘Kirdy, Tees 26, Capt. Thos. Coe, and Liffey 50, Commodore Chas. Grant, on the Home and East India stations. He then officiated for about 18 months as Acting-Lieutenant and Lieutenant (commission dated 10 May, 1824) of the Satellite 18, and Asia 84, both commanded by Capt. Mark John Currie, with whom he returned to England. His succeeding appointments were – 24 Jan. 1827, to the Alert 18, Capts. Sam. Burgess and John Coghlan Fitzgerald, on the South American station – 13 Feb. 1832, as Senior, to the Conway 28, fitting for the Pacific, whence he returned home and was paid off in Oct. 1835 – and, 18 Oct. 1838, in a similar capacity, to the Ganges 84, Capt. Barrington Reynolds. He served in the latter ship, on the Mediterranean station (where he was present at the blockade of Alexandria), until advanced to his present rank 23 Nov. 1841; and has not been since employed.

​JONES. (Lieutenant, 1814.)
Henry Paget Jones was born in June, 1792. This officer entered the Navy, 22 Jan. 1806, as Midshipman, on board the Egyptienne frigate, Capt. Hon. Chas. Paget, and on the evening of 8 March following served in the boats, under Lieut. Philip Cosby Handfield, at the cutting-out, beneath an incessant fire from two batteries, of the French frigate-built privateer L’Alcide, pierced for 34 guns, and moored to the beach in the harbour of Muros, in Spain. He next, in the course of 1807, joined the Hibernia 110, flag-ship of Earl St. Vincent, Donegal 74, Capt. Pulteney Malcolm, and Cambrian 40, commanded by his former Captain, Paget, under whom he accompanied the expedition against Copenhagen. In Aug. 1808, after he had been attached for a few months to the Spencer 74, flagship of Hon. Robt. Stopford, and Leviathan 74, Capts. Paget and Thos. Harvey, he was further received by Capt. Paget on board the Revenge, another third-rate, and was thus afforded an opportunity of sharing in the prominent part borne by that ship on the occasion of Lord Cochrane’s celebrated attack on the enemy as they lay at anchor in Basque Roads in April, 1809. He continued to serve in the Revenge under the flag of Rear-Admiral Hon. Arthur Kaye Legge, latterly at the defence of Cadiz, until April, 1812, from which period until the following Oct. he acted as Lieutenant of the .St. Albans 64, Capt. John Ferris Devonshire. In March, 1813, we find him resuming the duties of Midshipman on board the Rippon 74, Capt. Sir Christ. Cole, stationed off Rochefort, and in about 12 months after that period transferred to the Venerable 74, bearing the flag in the West Indies of Rear-Admiral Philip Chas. Durham, who, on 19 July, 1814, caused him to be again invested with the rank of Acting-Lieutenant – an appointment which the Admiralty sanctioned by a commission dated on 26 Sept. in the same year. His succeeding appointments were – for a few months in 1815, to the Heron sloop, Capt. Fras. Chas. Annesley, in which vessel he returned to England and was paid off – 13 Nov. 1821, to the Brazen 26, Capt. Wm. Shepheard, on the Irish station – 11 March, 1823, to the Superb 74, Capt. Adam Mackenzie, with whom he served in the West Indies, and off Bermuda and Lisbon, until the close of 1825 – and, in 1826, to the command, we believe, of the Otter steamer, which he retained until 1844.
Lieut. Jones, who is at present Commissioner of Pilotage at Holyhead, married, 13 Oct. 1837, Margaret, daughter of Norris M. Goddard, Esq., formerly Agent for conducting the Packet Service at that place. By that lady he has issue three children.

​JOLLY. (Lieutenant, 1842.)
Archibald Douglas Jolly entered the Navy 21 Aug. 1829 ; passed his examination 6 Dec. 1836; and, as we are informed, served as Mate in the boats of the Pluto at the destruction of some slave-factories at the Gallianos Islands in 1842; on 23 July in which year he was prmoted to the rank of Lieutenant. His succeeding appointments were – 29 April, 1843, as Additional, to the Illustrious 72 bearing the flag of Sir Chas. Adam in North America and the West Indies – 30 Dec. 1843, to the Ringdove 16, Capt. Sir Wm. Daniell, on the coast of Africa – and in 1844-5, to the Scylla 16, Capt. Robt. Sharpe, Imaum 72, Commodores Alex, Renton Sharpe and Daniel Pring, and Hyacinth 18, Capt. Fras. Scott, all on the North America and West India station, whence he returned home and was paid off in the early part of 1847. Agent – Joseph Woodhead.

​JONES. (Retired Commander, 1837.)
Charles Jones died 19 Jan. 1847, aged 65.
This officer entered the Navy, in Nov. 1797, as Midshipman, on board the Monmouth 64, Capt. Jas. Walker, under whom – if we except an attachment, from Oct. 1798 until April, 1800, to the Victor sloop, Capt. Jas. Bennie, part of the force employed under Sir Andrew Mitchell in the expedition to the Texel – he continued to serve in the Veteran 64, Braakel 56, Prince George and Prince 98’s, Isis 50, Tartar 32, and Vanguard 74, until Jan. 1804. He was in consequence wounded, in the Isis, at the battle of Copenhagen 2 April, 1801; and was on board the Vanguard, in 1803, at the capture, besides a variety of smaller vessels, of le Duquesne 74, and La Créole of 44 guns, with the French General, Morgan, and 530 troops on board; as also in the same ship at the surrender of the town of St. Marc, St. Domingo; the garrison of which place, amounting to about 1100 men, were brought off by the Vanguard and her prizes to rescue them from the vengeance of the black General Dessalines. He left the Vanguard, which had been latterly commanded by Capt. Andrew Fitzherbert Evans, in Oct. 1804; and on 5 April, 1805, after having acted for four months as Lieutenant of the Goelan sloop, and Desirée 36, Capts. Wm. Templar and Henry Whitby, was confirmed into the Theseus 74, Capt. Fras. Temple. Returning to England with convoy in the following Sept., he next, between that period and Dec. 1807, served, on the Home and Baltic stations, in the Powerful 74, Capt. Robt. Plampin, Boadicea 38, Capt. John Maitland, and Vanguard 74, Capt. Alex. Fraser, under whom he accompanied Admiral Gambier’s expedition against Copenhagen. He was then employed for two months in command of a cartel on the coast of Holland; after which he had charge, from May, 1808, to Feb. 1810, and from Aug. in the latter year to Aug. 1814, of the Indignant and Rebuff gun-brigs, on the North Sea and Mediterranean stations – participating, in the Indignant, in the operations of 1809 against Walcheren. His last appointment was, 1 April, 1822, to the Ordinary at Sheerness. The rank of Retired Commander was conferred upon him 23 Oct. 1837. He was married, and has left issue.

​JOHNSTONE. (Lieutenant, 1814. f-p., 7; h-p., 32.)
Robert Ballard Johnstone entered the Navy, in April, 1808, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Resistance 38, Capt. Chas. Adam, with whom he continued to serve, in the same ship and, as Midshipman and Master’s Mate, in the Invincible 74, Capt. Chas. Adam, until Jan. 1814 – assisting, in the Invincible (independently of a participation in many particular services), at the defence of ​Tarragona, the destruction of the castle of St. Elmo, and the capture of the fort of St. Philippe, in the Col de Balaguer. He then joined in succession the Queen Charlotte and Impregnable, flag-ships of Lord Keith and the Duke of Clarence; and, on 27 June, 1814, after having escorted the Allied Sovereigns to England, and taken part in the grand naval review held at Spithead, was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. During the latter part of 1814, and again for some months in 1815, we find him employed, on the Downs and Irish stations, in the Bermuda 10, Capt. Wm. Wolrige, and Nymphen 36, Capt. Matt. Smith. Being next, in July, 1816, appointed to the Superb 74, Capt. Chas. Ekins, he sailed with the expedition against Algiers, where, on the day of the bombardment, he commanded gun-boat No. 24. He soon afterwards returned to England with Lord Exmouth in the Queen Charlotte 100, and has since been on half-pay.

​JONES, Kt. (Captain, 1819. f-p., 23; h-p., 33.)
Sir Charles Thomas Jones, born in 1778, is representative of the Jones’ of Frontraith, co. Montgomery, a family seated there since 1608.
This officer entered the Navy, 2 May, 1791, as Captain’s Servant, on board the Vulcan fire-ship, Capt. Solomon Ferris, lying at Spithead; and in the course of the same year removed, as Fst.-cl. Vol., to the Alcide 74, Capt. Sir Andrew Snape Douglas, stationed in Portsmouth Harbour. During the first five years of the French revolutionary war we find him serving with Lord Hugh Seymour in the Leviathan 74, and Sans Pareil 80; in the former of which ships he witnessed the occupation of Toulon in Aug. 1793, and was wounded in Lord Howe’s action 1 June, 1794; and in the latter participated as Midshipman in the action fought off Ile de Groix 23 June, 1795. He was made Lieutenant, 16 Oct. 1798, into the Fairy 18, Capt. Joshua Sydney Horton, on the coast of Africa; and was afterwards appointed – 26 Aug. 1799, to the Neptune 98, Capt. Jas. Vashon, flag-ship for some time of the late Lord Gambier in the Channel – in 1802, 3, and 5, to the Concorde, Lancaster, and Hindostan, Capts. John Wood, William Fothergill, and Alex. Fraser, all on the East India station – and 16 May, 1807, to the Trent frigate, bearing the flag at Cork of Vice-Admiral Jas. Hawkins Whitshed. In the capacity of Commander, a rank he attained 15 Aug. 1810, Capt. Jones was employed, from 16 June, 1814, until paid off in Dec. 1818, in the Harrier sloop, among the Canary Islands, off the coast of France, and on the Halifax station. He attained Post-rank 12 Aug. 1819, and accepted the Retirement 1 Oct. 1846.

# A Naval Biographical Dictionary/Jones, Edward Leslie

​JONES. (Lieutenant, 1827. f-p., 17; h-p.,17.)
Edward Leslie Jones, born 30 Dec. 1800, is fifth son of the late John Jones, Esq., of Woolley, near Bradford, Wilts; and nephew of the late Colonel Leslie Grove Jones, of the Grenadier Guards.
This officer entered the Navy, 7 July, 1813, as a Volunteer, on board the Medusa 32, Capt. Geo. Bell, employed in the blockade of Cherbourg; and after conveying the 27th Regt. to Quebec in the Warspite 74, Capt. Lord Jas. O’Bryen, joined the Malta 80, Capt. Wm. Chas. Fahie, on the Mediterranean station, where he assisted, as Midshipman, at the reduction of the strong fortress of Gaeta in 1815. He served during the next three years on the coast of Africa in the 20-gun ships Bann and Cherub, Capts. Wm. Fisher and Geo. Wickens Willes; on accompanying the latter of whom into the Wye 26, commanded afterwards by Capt. Peter Fisher, he was employed for a similar period in the suppression of smuggling in the North Sea and Channel, and was for upwards of two whole months engaged in cruizing in an open boat. In Jan. 1823, having passed his examination in Feb. 1820, he rejoined Capt. Willes, as Mate, in the Brazen 26, and sailed with him for the South American station, whence he returned to the coast of Africa, and was there made Lieutenant, 12 May, 1827, into the Maidstone 42, Commodore Chas. Bullen. After four years of half-pay, Mr. Jones was next, on 15 Aug. 1831, appointed to the Isis 50, Capts. Geo. Rennie and Jas. Polkinghorne, under whom he again served on the African coast until the close of 1834. His last appointment was, 19 May, 1835, to the Carron steamer, Capt. Edw. Belcher, in which vessel he was for about seven months occupied in surveying the Irish Channel. His health (impaired by his long servitude, of nine years, on the African station, where he passed a great part of the period on board slave-vessels, and underwent great hardships) has since prevented his seeking active employment.
He married, 26 May, 1840, Mary, second daughter of the late Rev. Rich. Thos. Whalley, Prebendary of Wells, and Rector of Ilchester and Yeovilton, co. Somerset, and niece of the late John Paine Tredway, Esq., M.P. for Wells. Agents – Messrs. Stilwell.
