# Royal Naval Biography/Stuart, James

Layout 2
JAMES STUART, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1813.]
Obtained the rank of lieutenant in Aug. 1797; and was first of the Minotaur 74, Captain Charles John Moore Mansfield, at the battle of Trafalgar.
The flight of Rear-Admiral Dumanoir le Pelley afforded to the Minotaur and Spartiate an opportunity which, as the two rearmost ships of the weather column, they would otherwise have sought in vain. Having hauled close on the larboard tack, they lay to with their main-top-sails to the masts; exchanged broadsides in passing with the Formidable, Duguay-Trouin, Mont Blanc, and Scipion; and succeeded in cutting off the Neptuno 80, which was the last Spanish ship that struck her colours on that eventful day. The Minotaur had her fore-top-sail-yard shot away; her masts, yards, and rigging in general a good deal damaged; 3 men killed, and 22 wounded. Her first lieutenant was made commander Dec. 24, 1805; and advanced to post rank, Dec. 4, 1813.

During the last three months of the Burmese war, he was entrusted with the charge of keeping the navigation open between Rangoon and Prome; and after its termination, he appears to have assisted in withdrawing the British army from the dominions of Ava. On the 1st of April, 1826, we find him, in conjunction with ​three other commissioners, taking formal possession of the ceded provinces. His advancement to the rank of Captain look place Jan. 10th, 1828.

# Royal Naval Biography/Street, Benjamin

Layout 2
BENJAMIN STREET, Esq. [Commander.]
Obtained the rank of lieutenant in July, 1800; and distinguished himself on various occasions whilst commanding the Staunch gun-brig, off Isle Bourbon, in 1810. The following is an extract of an official letter from Captain (now Sir Josias) Rowley to Vice-Admiral Bertie, reporting the capture of la Venus French frigate, of 44 guns and 380 men:
“I think it my duty to mention the active zeal shewn by Captain Tomkinson, of the Otter, and Lieutenant Street, of the Staunch, both on the present service, and those on which we have lately been engaged; the latter is an officer of long service, whose merits being well known to you, renders it unnecessary for me to recommend him to your notice.”
In Dec. 1810, Lieutenant Street received the public thanks of Major-General Abercromby, for his “indefatigable exertions” in landing the army under that officer’s command, near Port Louis, in the Isle of France; and his conduct on this occasion was thus officially noticed in the naval despatches:
“Nor should I omit to bear testimony to the unwearied exertions of Lieutenant B. Street, commanding the government armed-ship Emma, who was employed for many successive nights in sounding, and, as it has been proved, gained a perfect knowledge of the anchorage on the enemy’s coast, and who was equally strenuous in his services, in various ways, on shore.
(Signed)“Alb. Bertie.”
For these services. Lieutenant Street was promoted to the rank of commander, Mar. 4th, 1811.

# Royal Naval Biography/Strong, Charles Burrough

Layout 2
CHARLES BURROUGH STRONG, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1819.]
“It is not possible for me to speak too highly of the conduct of every officer and man; each, in his station, gave me the fullest satisfaction: but it gives me serious pain to add, that of these brave fellows, one was killed, and ten wounded (three mortally), besides the third lieutenant, Charles Burrough Strong, of whose assistance I was deprived before a shot was fired by us, and whose loss I feel the more, as two years’ service with me in this ship has fully proved to me his worth: his wounds, however, are not dangerous.”
Lieutenant Strong removed with the same excellent officer into the Clyde frigate, as first lieutenant, and commanded her boats on many services against the enemy, particularly during the Walcheren expedition.
When reporting the complete evacuation of that island, in Dec. 1809, Commodore Owen informed Sir Richard J. Strachan, that, “the peculiar circumstances he had been placed in, obliged him to leave the management of his own ship wholly to Lieutenant Strong, and thereby gave him an opportunity to confirm the good opinion he had formed of him in the course of seven years’ service together.”
Mr. Strong was promoted to the command of the Bustard, a 16-gun brig, on the Mediterranean station, Mar. 14th, 1811; and posted while commanding the Morgiana 18, on the coast of Africa, Aug. 12th, 1819.

ROBERT HAY, Esq. [Commander.]
Passed his examination in Mar. 1812; obtained a commission on the 13th Aug. following; and subsequently served under Captains John Ferris Devonshire and John Coode, in the Albion 74; of which ship he was first lieutenant at the battle of Algiers. His promotion to the rank of commander took place Sept. 16th, 1816.
In May, 1821, this officer won the prize given by the Edinburgh Royal Company of Archers, after a contest of three days in Hope Park. On the 14th June, 1822, he was appointed to the Delight sloop, fitting out for the Cape of Good Hope station; and on the 23d Feb. 1824, he perished, with all his officers and crew; owing to that vessel having been taken a-back in a heavy gust of wind, which sent her down stern-foremost, when about to enter Port Louis.
# Royal Naval Biography/Haynes, Henry

Layout 2
HENRY HAYNES, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1814.]
Assisted at the capture of El Galgo, Spanish national brig, by the Crescent frigate, under circumstances highly creditable to his captain and friend, the late Commissioner Lobb. His promotion to the rank of lieutenant appears to have taken place early in Jan. 1801. He afterwards served under Sir Robert Calder, and Captain (now Sir George) Cockburn, in the Prince of Wales 98, and Captain 74.
​In 1807, Lieutenant Haynes again joined the Prince of Wales, in consequence of a strong recommendation from Commissioner Lobb to Admiral Gambier, whose flag was then flying on board that ship, as commander-in-chief of the armament bound to Copenhagen.
During the operations against that capital, the British army received very efficient assistance from the active and zealous exertions of Lieutenant Haynes, particularly at the landing of the ordnance aid military stores; on which occasion he was employed under Captain (now Rear-Admiral) John Bligh, to whom the superintendence of the disembarkation had been entrusted. We have seen a letter written by the captain of the fleet, wherein he says, “no department was better conducted than the one Lieutenant Haynes superintended; and the officers of the artillery were unanimous in reporting the advantage which the service derived from his exertions.”
After the surrender of the Danish navy, this officer was appointed acting commander of the Hebe armed ship; and he appears to have been included in the general promotion of Oct. 13, 1807. We subsequently find him commanding the Sapphire sloop, on the Halifax and Jamaica stations. His post commission bears date April 28, 1814.
Captain Haynes married, in 1816, Harriet Watkins, seventh daughter of Thomas Oliver, of Bristol, Esq.

# Representative women of New England/Adelaide N. Blodgett

​ADELAIDE NICHOLSON BLODGETT was born in Fitchburg, Mass., January 10, 1847. She is the daughter of Charles' Nicholson, a sea captain of the old-fashioned type, a man of integrity and ability. The son of an officer in the French army. Captain Nicholson came to this country from France at the age of twelve. He married Mary Ann Varney, who was born in Boston, and who lived at the North End, in former days the court end of the town, as it has been called. Captain Nicholson died some twenty years ago.
Mrs. Blodgett, on her mother's side, is a descendant of Nicholas Browne, who settled in Lynn, Mass., before 1638, and a few years later removed to Reading. He was a Deputy ​to the General Court of Massachusetts in 1641, 1655, 1656, and 1661.
Her great-grandfather, Seth Ingersoll Browne (William,$^3$ Cornelius,$^2$ Nicholas$^1$), was one of the "Mohawks" who helped throw the tea into Boston Harbor, December 16, 1773, and was a non-commissioned officer m the battle of Bunker Hill.
Captain and Mrs. Nicholson removing to Newton when their daughter Adelaide was a mere child, she received her early education in the schools of that town, attending later Maplewood Institute in Pittsfield, Mass. She married Mr. W. H. Blodgett, a member of the well-known Boston firm of Joel Goldthwaite & Co., June 14, 1865, and settled in Newton, where she has since resided. Mr. and Mrs. Blodgett have two children, Grace Allen and William Ernest. The daughter, Grace Allen, a graduate of Smith College, is married to Dr. R. H. Seelye, one of the most skilled surgeons of Western Massachusetts, and resides in Springfield, where she is a power in the educational and moral forces of the community. William Ernest Blodgett is a graduate of both Harvard College and Harvard Medical School. He is making a specialty of orthopedic surgery.
Mrs. Blotlgett has always been a student, and, while travelling extensively in Europe with her children, was as busy with books and music as they. She has been a member of the Eliot (Congregational) Church for thirty-six years, and has given herself with much enthusiasm to its needs a«d concerns. She is now president of the Woman's Home Missionary Association of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. She was for three years president of the Social Science Club of Newton, which has for one of its good works the support of a vacation school in Nonantum (a manufacturing village in Newton) at an outlay of six hundred dollars a year. She was president of the Newton Federation of Women's Clubs, and was elected treasurer of the Massachusetts State Federation of Clubs at the time of its founding, a position which she filled for eight consecutive years.
Though Mrs. Blodgett has filled many public positions admirably, it is in her own home that she is at her best. It is here that one finds many evidences of her cultured tastes, and, seeing the personality of the mistress, does not wonder at her power of hiaking and keeping friends.

# Representative women of New England/Agnes B. Day

​AGNES BEARCE DAY, whose maiden name was Agnes Bearce, was born in Calais, Me., September 21, 1867. Her parents were Byron A. Bearce and Ella F. McDougall Bearce, the latter belonging to one of the best known Scottish families of the Province of New Brunswick, and directly descended from the famous clan McDougall of Scotland. Agnes Bearce in her girlhood attended the public schools of Lewiston, and was graduated from the high school in 1883. She was married in Boston, September 12, 1903, to Holman F. Day, of Auburn, Me.
Mrs. Day's artistic impulses came to her early in life. She was first drawn to china decorating, and displayed so much talent that after a course of study with local teachers she went to New York and pursued her calling in some of the best keramic studios. While there her work shown at the Waldorf-Astoria exhibit attracted much favorable notice. She has also studied with well-known Boston artists, and is recognized in the leading art circles of that city.
She began teaching in Lewiston in 1896, and has had classes most of the time since then. She has given annual exhibits of her productions. The work she has done in water-colors and oils during the past few years has received fitting and extremely favorable notice in high quarters. Her keramic achievements have been especially gratifying to her friends. Two years ago the managers of Poland Spring Hotel solicited and placed a case of her work on exhibition for the summer in their widely known art gallery, to which only artists of recognized talent are admitted. Her designs have been [printed in some of the leading art publications of the country.
For five years she has held the position of superintendent of the Maine State Art Exhibit, and for the past four years (1899-1902) has had entire charge of their annual exhibit at Lewiston. Her duties comprise the collection of the pictures and china and all the details of arrangement, and it is pleasing to note that the art exhibit has grown steadily under her management.
She is a member of the Murray Club of Lewiston, and has been a member of the New York Society of Keramic Arts since 1899. In her religious faith she is a Universalist. Her home is on Court Street, Auburn, Me.
# Sacred Books of the East/Volume 3/The Shih/Odes of the Temple and the Altar/The Sacrificial Odes of Kâu/Decade 2/Ode 3

Zhèn Lù (振鷺) corresponds to "A flock of egrets" on the first line. "Kâu" in its title is a typographical error (the intended transcription is "Kăn" and Kâu is frequently used in the work).
Ode 3. The Kâu Lû.
Celebrating the representatives of former dynasties, who had come to court to assist at a sacrifice in the ancestral temple.
This piece may have been used when the king was dismissing his distinguished guests in the ancestral temple. See the introductory note to this Part, pp. 300, 301.
A flock of egrets is flying, About the marsh there in the west. My visitors came, With an (elegant) carriage like those birds.
There, (in their states), not disliked, Here, (in Kâu), never tired of;— They are sure, day and night, To perpetuate their fame.
# Sacred Books of the East/Volume 3/The Shih/Odes of the Temple and the Altar/The Sacrificial Odes of Kâu/Decade 1/Ode 6

Hào Tiān yǒu Chéng Mìng (昊天有成命) is the first line of the poem.
Ode 6. The Hâo Thien yû Khăng Ming.
Appropriate to a sacrifice to king Khăng.
Khăng was the honorary title of Sung, the son and successor of king Wû, B.C. 1115 to 1079.
Heaven made its determinate appointment, Which our two sovereigns received. King Khăng did not dare to rest idly in it, But night and day enlarged ​its foundations by his deep and silent virtue. How did he continue and glorify (his heritage), Exerting all his heart, And so securing its tranquillity!
# Sacred Books of the East/Volume 3/The Shih/Odes of the Temple and the Altar/The Sacrificial Odes of Kâu/Decade 1/Ode 8

Shí Mài (時邁) corresponds to "Now is he making a progress through" on the first line.
Ode 8. The Shih Mâi.
Appropriate to king Wû's sacrificing to Heaven, and to the spirits of the hills and rivers, on a progress through the kingdom, after the overthrow of the Shang dynasty.
Here again there is an agreement among the critics. We find from the Zo Kwan and 'the Narratives of the States,' that the ​piece was, when those compilations were made, considered to be the work of the duke of Kâu; and, no doubt, it was made by him soon after the accession of Wû to the kingdom, and when he was making a royal progress in assertion of his being appointed by Heaven to succeed to the rulers of Shang. The 'I' in the fourteenth line is, most probably, to be taken of the duke of Kâu, who may have recited the piece on occasion of the sacrifices, in the hearing of the assembled princes and lords.
Now is he making a progress through his states; May Heaven deal with him as its son!
Truly are the honour and succession come from it to the House of Kâu. To his movements All respond with tremulous awe. He has attracted and given rest to all spiritual beings, Even to (the spirits of) the Ho and the highest hills. Truly is the king our sovereign lord.
Brilliant and illustrious is the House of Kâu. He has regulated the positions of the princes; He has called in shields and spears; He has returned to their cases bows and arrows. I will cultivate admirable virtue, And display it throughout these great regions. Truly will the king preserve the appointment.
* ↑ 'All spiritual beings' is, literally, 'the hundred spirits,' meaning the spirits presiding, under Heaven, over all nature, and especially the spirits of the rivers and hills throughout the kingdom. Those of the Ho and the lofty mountains are mentioned, because if their spirits were satisfied with Wû, those of all other mountains and hills, no doubt, were so.
* ↑ Compare with these lines the last chapter of 'the Completion of the War' in the Shû.
# Sacred Books of the East/Volume 3/The Shih/Odes of the Temple and the Altar/The Sacrificial Odes of Kâu/Decade 1/Ode 9

Zhí Jìng (執競) corresponds to "The arm of [...] was full of strength" on the first line.
Ode 9. The Kih King.
An ode appropriate in sacrificing to the kings Wû, Khăng, and Khang.
The Chinese critics differ in the interpretation of this ode, the Preface and older scholars restricting it to a sacrifice to king Wû, while Kû Hsî and others find reference in it, as to me also seems most natural, to Khăng and Khang, who succeeded him.
The arm of king Wû was full of strength; Irresistible was his ardour. Greatly illustrious were Khăng and Khang, Kinged by God.
When we consider how Khăng and Khang Grandly held all within the four quarters (of the kingdom), How penetrating was their intelligence!
The bells and drums sound in harmony; The sounding-stones and flutes blend their notes; Abundant blessing is sent down.
Blessing is sent down in large measure. Careful and exact is all our deportment; We have drunk, and we have eaten, to the full; Our happiness and dignity will be prolonged.
# Sacred Books of the East/Volume 3/The Shih/Odes of the Temple and the Altar/The Sacrificial Odes of Kâu/Decade 2/Ode 4

Fēng Nián (豐年) corresponds to "Abundant is the year" on the first line.
Ode 4. The Făng Nien.
An ode of thanksgiving for a plentiful year.
The Preface says the piece was used at sacrifices in autumn and winter. Kû Hsî calls it an ode of thanksgiving for a good year,—without any specification of time. He supposes, however, that the thanks were given to the ancient Shăn-năng, 'the father of Agriculture,' Hâu-kî, 'the first Husbandman,' and the spirits presiding over the four quarters of the heavens. To this the imperial editors rightly demur, saying that the blessings which the piece speaks of could come only from God.
Abundant is the year with much millet and much rice; And we have our high granaries, With myriads, and hundreds of thousands, and millions (of measures in them); For spirits and sweet spirits, To present to our forefathers, male and female, And to supply all our ceremonies. The blessings sent down on us are of every kind.
# Sacred Books of the East/Volume 3/The Shih/Odes of the Temple and the Altar/The Sacrificial Odes of Kâu/Decade 1/Ode 7

Wǒ Jiāng (我將) corresponds to "I have brought" on the first line.
Ode 7. The Wo Kiang.
Appropriate to a sacrifice to king Wăn, associated with Heaven, in the Hall of Audience.
There is, happily, an agreement among the critics as to the occasion to which this piece is referred. It took place in the last month of autumn, in the Hall of Audience, called also 'the Brilliant Hall,' and 'the Hall of Light.' We must suppose that the princes are all assembled at court, and that the king receives them in this hall. A sacrifice is then presented to God, and with him is associated king Wăn, the two being the fountain from which, and the channel through which, the sovereignty had come to Kâu.
I have brought my offerings, A ram and a bull. May Heaven accept them!
I imitate and follow and observe the statutes of king Wăn, Seeking daily to secure the tranquillity of the kingdom. King Wăn, the Blesser, has descended on the right, and accepted (the offerings).
Do I not, night and day, Revere the majesty of Heaven, Thus to preserve (its favour)?
