# Letters from the South

   . . . I received on the 6th of September a telegram simply announcing the receipt of my ‘dispatch of the 30th ultimo,’ probably meaning my letter from Vicksburg. And then nothing more; not a word indicating the President's policy, or his wishes or his approval or disapproval of my conduct. But meanwhile I had found a short paragraph in a New Orleans paper telegraphed from Washington, only a few lines, stating that the President was dissatisfied with me, and that I was especially blamed for having written to the newspapers instead of informing him. I believed I saw in this news paragraph an inspiration from the White House. Acting upon that supposition I at once wrote to the President reminding him that I had not sought this mission to the South, but had accepted it thinking that I might do the country some service; that the charge that I had reported to the newspapers instead of to the President, was simply absurd; that I had written to the President a series of elaborate reports; that I had, indeed, written a few letters to a newspaper, but that this was well understood by the Secretary of War when he made the arrangements for my journey; that the compensation set out for me — a mere War-Department-clerk's salary — was utterly insufficient to cover the expenses incidental to my travels, aside from transportation and subsistence, among which incidentals was a considerable extra premium on my life insurance on account of my travels so far South during the summer; that, as the Secretary of War understood and appreciated, I had to earn something in some way to make my journey financially possible; that my newspaper letters contained nothing that should have been treated as official secrets, but incidents of travel, anecdotes, picturesque views of Southern conditions with some reflections thereon, mostly things which would not find proper elaboration in official reports, — and all this quite anonymous so as not to have the slightest official character; and finally that I had a right to feel myself entitled to protection against such imputations as the newspaper paragraph in question contained.

AGAINST THE GATE OF LIFE
(To Helen Keller)
BY FLORENCE EARLE COATES
AS mute against the gate of life you sit, Longing to open it, Full oft you must behold, in thought, a maid With banner white, whose lilies do not fade, And armor glory lit.
Across the years, darkling, you still must see, In the hush of memory, Her whom no wrong of Fate could make afraid— Of all the maidens of the world, The Maid!— In her brave purity.
For she, like you, was singly set apart, O high and lonely heart!— And hearkened Voices, silent save to her, And looked on visions she might not transfer By any loving art,—
Knew the dread chill of isolation, when Life darkened to her ken; Yet could not know, as round her closed the night, How radiant and far would shine her light,— A miracle to men!
# Lippincott's Monthly Magazine/Volume 93/March 1914/The All-Mother

THE ALL-MOTHER
BY FLORENCE EARLE COATES
IN the arid and desolate places of life She opens fresh fountains of feeling; She comforts the spirit o'erwearied with strife; For the hurt of the heart she has healing.
She looks on our sorrows with calm that is kind, (What recks she of failure or illness?) And gives, with a smile, to the care-burdened mind The relief of her beauty and stillness.
She sings mid the tempest, she wings the storm's flight, (There's nothing can life from Life sever!) To guide the lost wanderer safe through the night, She keeps a lamp burning forever.

THE MOURNER
BY FLORENCE EARLE COATES
“ ’TIS over—all over!" the mourner said. "My love, in the grave of my love, lies dead:  Barren of bloom as yon wintry tree,  Lifeless and chill, is the heart of me!
"I shall smile no more: a tale that is told  Is the rapture of being. Now would I were old,  Who wearying years would no longer see  Stretching away unendingly!
"What value has Time? The last to-morrow  For me will hold but the one, one sorrow  Which, lone, I still shall endure, forlorn  As the bird that, above me, its mate doth mourn."  ······  Full wearily wasted the months; and still  Guarding his grief with a constant will,  It chanced that the mourner, one halcyon day,  Wandering sadly the self-same way,
 Beheld, half doubting, the wintry tree  A bower of blossom—a thing to see!—  And heard with emotion the sad bird sing:—  "O beauty! O love! O delight!—It is Spring!"

LECTURES ON
TEN BRITISH PHYSICISTS
of the Nineteenth Century
BY ALEXANDER MACFARLANE Late President of the International Association for Promoting the Study of Quaternions
FIRST EDITION
NEW YORK JOHN WILEY & SONS, Inc. London: CHAPMAN & HALL, Limited
1919
No. 20 Copyrighted, 1919, BY HELEN S. MACFARLANE
PREFACE
During the years 1901-1904 Dr. Alexander Macfarlane delivered, at Lehigh University, lectures on twenty-five British mathematicians of the nineteenth century. The manuscripts of twenty of these lectures were discovered in 1916, three years after the death of their author, to be almost ready for the printer, and ten of them, on ten pure mathematicians, were then published in Monograph No. 17 of this series. Lectures on ten mathematicians whose main work was in physics, astronomy, and engineering are given in this volume.
These lectures were given to audiences composed of students, instructors and townspeople, and each occupied less than an hour in delivery. It should hence not be expected that a lecture can fully treat of all the activities of a mathematician, much less give critical analyses of his work and careful estimates of his influence. It is felt by the editors, however, that the lectures will prove interesting and inspiring to a wide circle of readers who have no acquaintance at first hand with the works of the men who are discussed, while they cannot fail to be of special interest to older readers who have such acquaintance.
It should be borne in mind that expressions such as "now," "recently," "ten years ago," etc., belong to the year when a lecture was delivered. On the first page of each lecture will be found the date of its delivery.
For five of the portraits given in the frontispiece the editors are indebted to the kindness of Dr. David Eugene Smith, of Teachers College, Columbia University. A portrait of Dr. Macfarlane will be found on page 4 of Monograph No. 17.

RELICS OF THE ARK.
WE have already seen that Berosus relates how in his time portions of the ark were removed, and used as amulets. Josephus says that remains of the ark were to be seen at his day upon Ararat; and Nicolas of Damascus reports the same. S. Epiphanius writes: "The wood of the ark of Noah is shown to this day in the Kardasan (Koord) country." And he is followed by a host of fathers. El Macin, in his History of the Saracens, relates that the Emperor Heraclius visited ​the relics after he had conquered the Persians, in the city of Thenia, at the roots of Ararat. Haithon, the Armenian, declares that upon the snows of Ararat a black speck is visible at all times: this is Noah's ark. Benjamin of Tudela, in his Itinerary, says that all the wood was carried away by the Caliph Omar, in A.D. 640, and was placed by him in a temple or mosque he erected in an island formed by the Tigris. One of the beams is shown in the Lateran at Rome. In 1670, Johann Jansenius Strauss ascended to a hermit's cell on the side of Ararat, to bind up the coenobite's leg which was broken. The hermit's cell, said Strauss, was five days' journey up the mountain, athwart three clouds, and above a region of intolerable cold, in a calm warm atmosphere. From the account of the hermit, Herr Strauss learnt that the old man had dwelt there twenty-five years, and that he had felt there neither rain nor winds. On the top of the mountain, fifteen Italian miles from the cell, through the clear air, was distinguishable the great vessel grounded in the snow. The hermit had reached it, and of one of its planks had cut a cross; which he exhibited to the German traveller.
In the town of Chenna, in Arabia Felix, says the traveller Prévoux, is a large building, said to have been erected by Noah; and a large piece of wood is exhibited through an iron grating, which is said to have formed a portion of his ark. There is also to be seen at Chenna a well, said to have been dug by the patriarch Jacob, of which the water is icy cold.
The Armenians say that a certain monk, Jacob, once ascended Ararat, and carried off a fragment of the ark, which he made afterwards into a cross, and this is preserved amongst the sacred relics of Etchmiadzin. When the Persian king, Abassus the Great, sent to inquire about the ark, the monks replied that it was in vain for him to attempt to reach it, on account of the precipices and glaciers, and innumerable difficulties of the way.

SERUG.
"And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg.
"And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu. And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug. And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor."
Serug is said to have discovered the art of coining gold and silver money. In his days men erected many idols, into which demons entered and wrought great signs by them. Samiri was king of the Chaldees, and he discovered weights and measures and how to weave silk, and also how to dye fabrics. He is related to have had three eyes and two horns.
At the same time Apiphanus was king of Egypt. He built a ship, and in it made piratical descents upon the neighbouring people living on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. He was succeeded by Pharaoh, son of Saner, and the kings after him assumed his name as their title.
Nahor was the son of Serug. In the twenty-fifth year of his life, Job the Just underwent his trial, according to the opinion of Arudha the Canaanite. At that time Armun, king of ​Canaan, built the two cities Sodom and Gomorrah, and called them after the names of his two sons; but Zoar he named after his mother. At the same time, Murk or Murph, king of Palestine, built Damascus.

# Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary

   LITANIÆ LAURETANÆ (Litany of Loreto). A solemn Litany, sung in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
   —"Litaniæ Lauretanæ," by William Smyth Rockstro in A Dictionary of Music and Musicians, (ed.) by George Grove, London: MacMillan & Co., Ltd. (1900)
   Despite the fact that, from the seventeenth century onwards, the Litany of Loreto has been the subject of endless panegyrics and ascetical writings, there is a great lack of documentary evidence concerning its origin [...]. Some writers declare that they know nothing of its origin and history; others, on the contrary, trace it back to the translation of the Holy House (1294); others, to Pope Sergius I (687); others, again, to St. Gregory the Great or to the fifth century; while others go as far back as the earliest ages of the Church, and even Apostolic times. Historical criticism, however, proves it to be of more recent origin, and shows that it was composed during the early years of the sixteenth century or the closing years of the fifteenth. The most ancient printed copy hitherto discovered is that of Dillingen in Germany, dating from 1558; it is fairly certain that this is a copy of an earlier Italian one, but so far, in spite of much careful research, the oldest Italian copy that the writer has been able to discover dates from 1576.

# List of new and rare Plants, collected in Abyssinia during the years 1805 and 1810, arranged according to the Linnean System

List of new and rare Plants, collected in Abyssinia during the years 1805 and 1810, arranged according to the Linnean System is an 1814 paper by Robert Brown, first published in Appendix 4 of Henry Salt's A voyage to Abyssinia. It lists 146 plants that were collected by Salt in Ethiopia in 1809 and 1810. 131 of these species were then new to science; Brown names them, but gives no descriptions, so they are not validly published here except for a few names that Brown assigns basionyms.

'"London Bridge Is Falling Down" (also known as "My Fair Lady" or "London Bridge") is a traditional English nursery rhyme and singing game, which is found in different versions all over the world. It deals with the depredations of London Bridge and attempts, realistic or fanciful, to repair it. It may date back to bridge rhymes and games of the Late Middle Ages, but the earliest records of the rhyme in English are from the seventeenth century.
