THE PRINTER
TO
THE UNDERSTANDERS.
For this time I must speak only to you: at another, Readers may perchance serve my turn; and I think this a way very free from exception, in hope that very few will have a mind to confess themselves ignorant.
If you look for an Epistle, as you have before ordinary publications, I am sorry that I must deceive you; but you will not lay it to my charge, when you shall consider that this is not ordinary, for if I should say it were the best in this kind, that ever this kingdom hath yet seen; he that would doubt of it must go out of the kingdom to inform himself, for the best judgments within it take it for granted.
You may imagine (if it please you) that I could endear it unto you, by saying, that impor​tunity drew it on; that had it not been presented here, it would have come to us from beyond the seas (which perhaps is true enough); that my charge and pains in procuring of it hath been such, and such. I could add hereto, a promise of more correctness or enlargement in the next edition, if you shall in the meantime content you with this. But these things are so common, as that I should profane this piece by applying them to it; a piece which whoso takes not as he finds it, in what manner soever, he is unworthy of it, sith a scattered limb of this author hath more amiableness in it, in the eye of a discerner, than a whole body of some other; or (to express him best by himself)—
If any man (thinking I speak this to inflame him for the vent of the impression) be of another opinion, I shall as willingly spare his money as his judgment. I cannot lose so much by him as he will by himself. For I shall satisfy myself with the conscience of well-doing, in making so much good, common.
Howsoever it may appear to you, it shall suffice me to inform you, that it hath the best ​warrant that can be, public authority, and private friends.
There is one thing more wherein I will make you of my counsel, and that is, that whereas it hath pleased some, who had studied and did admire him, to offer to the memory of the author, not long after his decease, I have thought I should do you service in presenting them unto you now; only whereas, had I placed them in the beginning, they might have served for so many encomiums of the author (as is usual in other works, where perhaps there is need of it, to prepare men to digest such stuff as follows after), you shall find them in the end, for whosoever reads the rest so far, shall perceive that there is no occasion to use them to that purpose; yet there they are, as an attestation for their sakes that knew not so much before, to let them see how much honour was attributed to this worthy man, by those that are capable to give it. Farewell.

# Poems (Fields)/On a Book of Sea-Mosses

* ON A BOOK OF SEA-MOSSES,
* SENT TO AN EMINENT ENGLISH POET.
* To him who sang of Venice, and revealed
* How Wealth and Glory clustered in her streets,
* And poised her marble domes with wondrous skill,
* We send these tributes, plundered from the sea.
* These many-colored, variegated forms
* Sail to our rougher shores, and rise and fall
* To the deep music of the Atlantic wave.
* Such spoils we capture where the rainbows drop,
* Melting in ocean. Here are broideries strange,
* Wrought by the sea-nymphs from their golden hair,
* And wove by moonlight. Gently turn the leaf. ​From narrow cells, scooped in the rocks, we take
* These fairy textures, lightly moored at morn.
* Down sunny slopes, outstretching to the deep,
* We roam at noon, and gather shapes like these.
* Note now the painted webs from verdurous isles,
* Festooned and spangled in sea-caves, and say
* What hues of land can rival tints like those,
* Torn from the scarfs and gonfalons of kings
* Who dwell beneath the waters.
* Such our Gift,
* Culled from a margin of the western world,
* And offered unto Genius in the old.

* They tell me thou art laid to rest,
* Companion of my happiest years!
* That thou hast joined the loved and blest,
* Whose early graves are wet with tears,—
* That I shall never hear again
* The voice that charmed my boyhood's ear,
* Nor meet among the haunts of men
* Thy honest grasp of love sincere.
* Friend of my youth! my buried friend!
* Thy step was gayest in the ring,—
* My thoughts far back through childhood wend,
* And can I now thy requiem sing? ​
* Alas! I feel 'tis all in vain,—
* Before such grief my spirits bow,—
* Farewell! I cannot trace the pain
* That weighs upon my heart-strings now.
# Poems (Fields)/Sleighing Song

SLEIGHING SONG.
O swift we go, o'er the fleecy snow, When moonbeams sparkle round; When hoofs keep time to music's chime, As merrily on we bound.
On a winter's night, when hearts are light, And health is on the wind, We loose the rein and sweep the plain, And leave our cares behind.
With a laugh and song, we glide along Across the fleeting snow; With friends beside, how swift we ride On the beautiful track below!
​O! the raging sea has joy for me, When gale and tempests roar; But give me the speed of a foaming steed, And I'll ask for the waves no more.

# Poems (Fields)/On a Pair of Antlers

ON A PAIR OF ANTLERS,
BROUGHT FROM GERMANY.
Gift, from the land of song and wine,— Can I forget the enchanted day,
When first along the glorious Rhine I heard the huntsman's bugle play,
And marked the early star that dwells
Among the cliffs of Drachenfels!
Again the isles of beauty rise;— Again the crumbling tower appears,
That stands, defying stormy skies, With memories of a thousand years,
And dark old forests wave again,
And shadows crowd the dusky plain.
​They brought the gift that I might hear The music of the roaring pine,— To fill again my charmèd ear With echoes of the Rodenstein,— With echoes of the silver horn,— Across the wailing waters borne.
Trophies of spoil! henceforth your place Is in this quiet home of mine;— Farewell the busy, bloody chase, Mute emblems now of "auld lang syne," When Youth and Hope went hand in hand To roam the dear old German land.

# Poetical Fragments from Ethel Churchill Volume III/A Lady’s Beauty

CHAPTER VI.
THE FÊTE AT SIR ROBERT WALPOLE'S CONTINUED.
Ladye, thy white brow is fair,
Beauty's morning light is there;
And thine eye is like a star,
Dark as those of midnight are:
Round thee satin robe is flung;
Pearls upon thy neck are hung:
Yet thou wearest silk and gem,
As thou hadst forgotten them.
Lovelier is the ray that lies
On thy lip, and in thine eyes.

# Poetical Fragments from Ethel Churchill Volume III/Cureless Wounds

CHAPTER XI.
CONVERSATION AFTER BREAKFAST.
False look, false hope, and falsest love,
 All meteors sent to me,
To shew how they the heart could move,
 And how deceiving be:
They left me darkened, crushed, alone;
My spirit's household gods o'erthrown.
The world itself is changed, and all
 That was beloved before
Is vanished, and beyond recall,
 For I can hope no more:
The sear of fire, the dint of steel,
Are easier than such wounds to heal.

CURELESS WOUNDS

# Poetical Fragments from Ethel Churchill Volume III/Faith Destroyed

CHAPTER X.
A LATE BREAKFAST.
Why did I love him? I looked up to him
With earnest admiration, and sweet faith.
I could forgive the miserable hours
His falsehood, and his only, taught my heart;
But I cannot forgive that for his sake.
My faith in good is shaken, and my hopes
Are pale and cold, for they have looked on death.
Why should I love him? he no longer is
That which I loved.

FAITH DESTROYED

CHAPTER XXII.
DISCOVERY.
Who, that had looked on her that morn,
Could dream of all her heart had borne?
Her cheek was red, but who could know
'T was flushing with the strife below?
Her eye was bright, but who could tell
It shone with tears she strove to quell?
Her voice was gay, her step was light,
And beaming, beautiful, and bright:
It was as if life could confer
Nothing but happiness on her.
Ah! who could think that all so fair
Was semblance, and but misery there!

# Poetical Fragments from Ethel Churchill Volume II/Unavailing Regret

CHAPTER XIV.
UNAVAILING REGRET.
Farewell! and when the charm of change
 Has sunk, as all must sink, in shade;
When joy, a wearied bird, begins
 The wing to droop, the plume to fade;
When thou thyself, at length, hast felt
 What thou hast made another feel—
The hope that sickens to despair,
 The wound that time may sear, not heal;
When thou shalt pine for some fond heart
 To beat in answering thine again;—
Then, false one, think once more on me,
 And sigh to think it is in vain.

# Poetical Fragments from Ethel Churchill Volume III/An Unseen Power

AN UNSEEN POWER
CHAPTER XVIII.
INTRODUCTION.
In the ancestral presence of the dead
Sits a lone power; a veil upon the head,
Stern with the terror of an unseen dread.
It sitteth cold, immutable, and still,
Girt with eternal consciousness of ill,
And strong and silent as its own dark will.
We are the victims of its iron rule,
The warm and beating human heart its tool,
And man immortal, god-like, but its fool.
From Three Extracts from the Diary of a Week – Necessity in The New Monthly Magazine, 1837 (Vol 49)
As this poem is already in Blanchard’s Life and Literary Remains, he omits this separate extract

# Poetical Fragments from Ethel Churchill Volume II/What is Success?

CHAPTER X.
SUCCESS.
All things are symbols; and we find
 In morning's lovely prime,
The actual history of the mind
 In its own early time:
So, to the youthful poet's gaze,
 A thousand colours rise,—
The beautiful which soon decays,
 The buoyant which soon dies.
So does not die their influence,
 The spirit owns the spell;
Memory to him is music—hence
 The magic of his shell.
He sings of general hopes and fears—
 A universal tone;
All weep with him, for in his tears
 They recognise their own.
Yet many a one, whose lute hangs now
 High on the laurel tree, Feels that the cypress' dark bough
 A fitter meed would be:
And still with weariness and wo
 The fatal gift is won;
Many a radiant head lies low,
 Ere half its race be run.
Blanchard’s title is:
WHAT IS SUCCESS?

# Poetical Fragments from Ethel Churchill Volume II/Want of Sympathy

CHAPTER XXII.
A MATRIMONIAL TÊTE-À-TÊTE.
These are the things that fret away the heart— Cold, careless trifles; but not felt the less
For mingling with the hourly acts of life.
It is a cruel lot for the fine mind,
Full of emotions generous and true,
To feel its light flung back upon itself;
All its warm impulses repelled and chilled,
Until it finds a refuge in disdain!
And woman, to whom sympathy is life,
The only atmosphere in which her soul
Developes all it has of good and true;
How must she feel the chill!
Blanchard’s title is:
WANT OF SYMPATHY

Note: As the chapter headings are not generally appropriate titles for the introductory poems, Blanchard, in arranging them for his Life and Literary Remains, provided titles of his own. In the few instances where he did not include them, the poems here either retain the chapter title or have been provided with a title that seems suitable.

CHAPTER IV.
ASKING FOR AN INVITATION.
This is a weary and a wretched life,
With nothing to redeem it but the heart.
Affection, earth's great purifier, stirs
Our embers into flame, and that ascends.
All finer natures walk this bitter world
But for a while, then Heaven asks its own,
And we can but remember and regret.

The death was announced about the beginning of the year of General Axel Wilhelmovitch Gadolin, of the Russian army, an eminent mineralogist and physicist, and a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He engaged, when not active in military duties, in research into the molecular forces that act in the formation of crystals. His chief work, which is also known to the world through a German translation, was his Deduction of all the Systems of Crystals and their Derivates from a Unique Principle. A paper on the resistance of the walls of a gun to the pressure of gunpowder gases is also noticeable for having given a new formula of minimal resistance.
Nikolai Ivanovitch Koksharoff, who died in St. Petersburg January 2d, was an eminent mineralogist and author of a work in eleven large quarto volumes, to which a twelfth is to be added, of contributions to the mineralogy of Russia.
M. Francois van Rysselberghe, Professor of Electrotechnics in the University of Ghent, and a famous inventor, died suddenly at Antwerp, Belgium, February 3d, in the forty-seventh year of his age. Among his inventions were a universal meteorograph, exhibited at Paris in 1881, which registered periodically on a strip of paper the pressure, temperature, humidity, depth of rainfall, and direction and force of the wind; and a system of simultaneous telegraphic and telephonic transmission which has come into general use on urban and suburban lines. He was counsel in electrical matters for the Belgian administration of railroads, posts, and telegraphs.
Mr. Henry F. Blackford, a distinguished geologist and meteorologist of India, died in January. Originally attached to the Geological Survey of India, in connection with which he wrote several memoirs of much value, he afterward became Superintendent of the Meteorological Department of Bengal, and ultimately of the whole of India; and in connection with this position also he published useful books and papers.

VII.
HÔFFER.
Of mortal Parents is the Hero born By whom the undaunted Tyrolese are led? Or is it Tell's great Spirit, from the dead Returned to animate an age forlorn? He comes like Phœbus through the gates of morn When dreary darkness is discomfited: Yet mark his modest state!—upon his head, That simple crest—a heron's plume—is worn. O Liberty! they stagger at the shock; The Murderers are aghast; they strive to flee And half their Host is buried:—rock on rock Descends:—beneath this godlike Warrior, see! Hills, Torrents, Woods, embodied to bemock The Tyrant, and confound his cruelty.
# Poems (Wordsworth, 1815)/Volume 2/Hail Twilight

V.
Hail Twilight,—sovereign of one peaceful hour! Not dull art Thou as undiscerning Night; But studious only to remove from sight Day's mutable distinctions.—Ancient Power! Thus did the waters gleam, the mountains lower To the rude Briton, when, in wolf-skin vest Here roving wild, he laid him down to rest On the bare rock, or through a leafy bower Looked ere his eyes were closed. By him was seen The self-same Vision which we now behold, At thy meek bidding, shadowy Power, brought forth;— These mighty barriers, and the gulph between; The floods,—the stars,—a spectacle as old As the beginning of the heavens and earth!
# Poems (Wordsworth, 1815)/Volume 2/Hail Zaragoza!

XIV.
Hail, Zaragoza! If with unwet eye We can approach, thy sorrow to behold, Yet is the heart not pitiless nor cold; Such spectacle demands not tear or sigh. These desolate Remains are trophies high Of more than martial courage in the breast Of peaceful civic virtue: they attest Thy matchless worth to all posterity. Blood flowed before thy sight without remorse; Disease consumed thy vitals; War upheaved The ground beneath thee with volcanic force; Dread trials! yet encountered and sustained Till not a wreck of help or hope remained, And Law was from necessity received.
# Proclamation 4515

Delivered on 26 August 1977.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
August 26, 1977, is the 57th anniversary of the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution guaranteeing that the right of United States citizens to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the Federal Government or any state on account of sex.
This was the successful culmination of the struggle of the American Women's Suffrage movement. The right to vote, to participate in the process of framing the laws under which we all live, is fundamental. But it was only the first step in achieving full equality for women. The late Dr. Alice Paul realized this, drafted the Equal Rights Amendment in 1923 and had it introduced in Congress over a period of 49 years, until it passed on March 22, 1972.
Dr. Paul and other early leaders of the movement who did not live to see their work completed were reviled and imprisoned, endured hunger strikes and force-feeding in order to further their cause. Their commitment is an inspiration to women and men today who seek to finally make their dreams a reality. Equal rights for women are an inseparable part of human rights for all.
Strong action is needed to guarantee women total equality in the areas of politics and government, education, employment and related benefits, health care, housing and justice. The needs, hopes and problems of a complex society demand the talents, imagination and dedication of all its citizens without regard to sex. As women achieve equality, men, too, are liberated from ancient prejudices and relieved of arbitrary barriers to personal fulfillment.
This is a crucial point in the struggle to achieve full equality for women under the law. Ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment must be completed by the required number of states by March 1979. The successes of the past were dearly bought, and this final effort will not be easy. Achievement of this goal is essential in order to secure meaningful equality for all our citizens.
Now, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim August 26, 1977, as Women's Equality Day and do hereby call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activity. I further urge all our people to dedicate themselves anew to the goal of achieving equal rights for women under the law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and second.

# Proclamation 4508

Delivered on 11 June 1977.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Two hundred years ago, on June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States.
In these two centuries our Nation has changed in many ways, but our flag remains an appropriate symbol of America. Its bold colors reflect the courage and determination of the American people, as its straight and simple lines reflect their straightforward character.
In celebrating this two hundredth anniversary let us resolve to honor our country's flag by displaying in our lives the qualities it reflects.
To commemorate the adoption of our Nation's flag, the Congress, by joint resolution of August 3, 1949 (63 Stat. 492, 36 U.S.C. 157), has requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its appropriate observance. By joint resolution of June 9, 1966 (80 Stat. 194, 36 U.S.C. 157a), the Congress also requested the President to issue annually a proclamation designating the week which includes June 14 as National Flag Week.
To encourage the American people to take pride in the Nation which that flag symbolizes, the Congress, by joint resolution of June 13, 1975 (89 Stat. 211, 36 U.S.C. 157b), has declared the twenty-one days from Flag Day through Independence Day as a period to honor America.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning June 12, 1977, as National Flag Week and I call upon the appropriate officials of the Government to display the flag on all Government buildings during that week. I urge the American people to celebrate Flag Day and National Flag Week by displaying the flag of the United States at their homes and other suitable places.
I also call upon all Americans to observe the period from Flag Day through Independence Day as a period to honor America through public gatherings and other suitable activities that will demonstrate their pride in their Nation and its accomplishments.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and first.
