# Biographical Sketches of Dekkan Poets/Venkata Pati Raja

VENKATAPATI RAJA.
Was by cast a Kshatreya and a native of Anagondi. He was a perfect master of the Telugu dialect, and had read the productions of all the best poets who had written in that language. Venkatapati in a short time became a ​poet of considerable merit himself, and his versification was remarkable for its natural flow and smoothness. He particularly excelled in descriptions his talent at which has been equalled but by few Telugu poets. During the early part of his life Venkatapati was in the military service, but his turn of mind induced him to resign the profession of arms, and devote his whole time to literature. He studied grammar under the first grammarian of the age.—The abilities of Venkatapati Raja brought him the notice of the King, who invited him to his court, and retained him as one of his poets. Soon after this Venkata composed an epic poem, which be entitled Chandragada Charitra, in which all the actions of Chandragada King of the Neshidha country is described, this work Venkatapati dedicated to Kristna Roya.

THE AMERICAN PUBLISHER
As many of the pieces in this volume are the result of more care than is usually bestowed on periodical writing, and as they embrace a range of study very different from that by which Mr. Prescott has been hitherto known as an author, it is thought that the republication of them in this form will be acceptable to his countrymen. The publishers have taken care that the mechanical execution of the book shall be uniform with that of his historical works.

PREFACE
TO THE ENGLISH EDITION.
The following Essays, with a single exception, have been selected from contributions originally made to the North American Review. They are purely of a literary character; and as they have little reference to local or temporary topics, and as the journal in which they appeared, though the most considerable in the United States, is not widely circulated in Great Britain, it has been thought that a republication of the articles might have some novelty and interest for the English reader.
Several of the papers were written many years since; and the author is aware that they betray those crudities in the execution which belong to an unpractised writer, while others of more recent date may be charged with the inaccuracies incident to rapid, and, sometimes, careless composition. The more obvious blemishes he has endeavoured to correct, without attempting to reform the critical judgments, which, in some cases, he could wish had been expressed in a more qualified and temperate manner; and he dismisses the volume with the hope that, in submitting it to the British public, he may not be thought to have relied too far on that indulgence which has been so freely extended to his more elaborate efforts.

# Biographical Sketches of Dekkan Poets/Yakanadh Swami

YAKANADH SWAMI.
A Maharata brahmin, and inhabitant of Paitan on the bank of the Godavery river. This poet lived about the time of Shahogi Rajah; in his infancy he learned the Maharata language, and made many verses in honor of the Divinity. In the sixteenth year of his age, he died at Satarah.
# Biographical Sketches of Dekkan Poets/Varahamihira

VARAHA-MIHIRA.
Was a bramin astronomer, who lived in A S. 1050, he possessed a vigorous intellect, and his judgment has been much admired both by his contemporaries and by posterity. Although his knowledge of the Sanscrit language was not profound, yet few men had such deep insight into all the branches of physics and natural philosophy as Varaha-Mihira.
He wrote an elaborate work which he called "Varaha Mehira Sanhita," in which was comprised a dissertation on the solar system, and the phenomena of nature—he likewise compiled a treatise on astrology and entitled it Bhrihat jataka."

Banks v. Chicago Grain Trimmers Assn., Inc., et al.
Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
No. 59. Argued: January 17, 1968 --- Decided: April 1, 1968
Petitioner filed a claim against her late husband's employer for compensation death benefits under the Longshoreman's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, alleging that his fall at home on January 20, 1961, from which he later died, resulted from a work-connected injury sustained on January 26. A Department of Labor Deputy Commissioner rejected the claim for failure to establish a work-connected injury. Thereafter, petitioner discovered an eyewitness to a work-connected injury to her husband on January 30 about two hours before the fall at home which resulted in his death, and filed a second compensation claim against the employer. Prior to the hearing thereon, petitioner brought a wrongful death action against a third party based on the January 30 injury. The jury returned a verdict for $30,000, but the judge ruled that a motion for a new trial would be granted unless petitioner consented to a remittitur of $11,000. Without consulting the employer, petitioner accepted the remittitur and a judgment for $19,000 was entered. The Deputy Commissioner, after hearings, entered an award for petitioner in the second compensation claim. Respondents brought an action in the District Court to set aside the award. The District Court affirmed, but the Court of Appeals reversed, holding that the second compensation action was barred by the doctrine of res judicata.
Held:
    1. The second claim was not barred by res judicata, but comes within the scope of § 22 of the Act, which provides for review "because of a mistake in a determination of fact" by the Deputy Commissioner "at any time prior to one year after rejection of a claim," and permits him to "award compensation" after such review. Pp. 462-465.
    2. An order of remittitur is a judicial determination of recoverable damages, and petitioner's acceptance of the remittitur in her third-party lawsuit was not a compromise within the meaning of § 33 (g) of the Act. Pp. 465-467.
    3. The Deputy Commissioner's finding that there was a causal connection between the January 30 work-connected injury to petitioner's husband and his fall at home two hours later was supported by substantial evidence on the record as a whole and must be affirmed. P. 467.
369 F. 2d 344, reversed.
Harold A. Liebenson argued the cause for petitioner. With him on the brief was Edward G. Raszus.
Mark A. Braun argued the cause for respondents. With him on the brief was Thomas P. Smith.

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Hudson, Erasmus Darwin

Edition of 1892. Since there was no Exposition Universelle of Paris in 1857, it seems likely that 1867 is meant.
​HUDSON, Erasmus Darwin, surgeon, b. in Torringford, Conn., 15 Dec., 1805; d. in Riverside, Greenwich, Conn., 31 Dec., 1880. He was educated by a private tutor and at Torringford academy, and was graduated in medicine at Berkshire medical college in 1827. He practised in Bloomfield, and became a member of the Connecticut medical society. In 1828 he lectured on temperance, and from 1837 till 1849 was lecturing agent of the Connecticut anti-slavery society and general agent of the American anti-slavery society. During the civil war he was appointed by the U. S. government to fit apparatus to special cases of gunshot injuries of bone, resections, ununited fractures, and amputations at the knee- and ankle-joints. He invented several prothetic and orthopædic appliances, which received awards at the Exposition universelle of Paris in 1857, and at the Centennial exhibition, Philadelphia, 1876. From 1850 till his death he resided in New York, devoting himself to orthopædic surgery and mechanical apparatus for deformities, artificial limbs, etc. He was a contributor to “The Liberator” and the “Anti-Slavery Standard” (Boston and New York, 1837-'49), was co-editor of “The Charter Oak” (Hartford, 1838-'41), and published numerous reported cases in the “Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion” (Washington, 1870-'2). He wrote an “Essay on Temperance” (1828), and published monographs on “Resections” (New York, 1870); “Syme's Amputation” (New York, 1871); and “Immobile Apparatus for Ununited Fractures” (New York, 1872).—His son, Erasmus Darwin, physician, b. in Northampton, Mass., 10 Nov., 1843; d. 9 May, 1887, was graduated at the College of the city of New York in 1864, and at the College of physicians and surgeons, New York city, in 1867. He was house-surgeon of Bellevue hospital in 1867-'8, and held the office of health inspector of New York city in 1869-'70. In 1870 he was attending physician to the class for diseases of the eye, out-door department of Bellevue hospital, and from 1870 till 1872 was attending physician at the Northwestern dispensary, and from 1870 till his death was attending physician to Trinity chapel parish and Trinity home. He was professor of principles and practice of medicine in the Woman's medical college of New York infirmary from 1872 till 1882, and professor of general medicine and physical diagnosis in the New York Polyclinic from 1882 until his death. He has published “Diagnostic Relations of the Indigestions” (New York, 1876); “Doctors, Hygiene, and Therapeutics” (1877); “Methods of Examining Weak Chests” (1885); “Limitations of the Diagnosis of Malaria” (1885); “Home Treatment of Consumptives” (1886); and “Physical Diagnosis of Thoracic Diseases” (2d ed., 1887).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Hudson, Frederic

Edition of 1892.
​HUDSON, Frederic, journalist, b. in Quincy, Mass., in 1819; d. in Concord, Mass., 21 Oct., 1875. After receiving a limited education in the common schools of Concord and Boston, Mass., he removed to New York city in 1836, and, entering the office of the “Herald,” rose through the various grades till he became managing editor of that journal. After a connection of nearly thirty years with the “Herald,” he retired in April, 1866, and resided in Concord, Mass., until his death. He was the author of “Journalism in the United States from 1690 till 1872” (New York, 1873).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Huden, Lucas Van

This is a fictitious person. There is an anachronism regarding the subject's travels, while Santiago's defence in the 1541 attack was led by Inés de Suárez, a female conquistador, and Monroy was not taken prisoner following the destruction of Santiago. Peru was also known as New Castille before 1542, while Le Gasca was viceroy: the office of President of Peru did not exist until 1823, i.e. 270 years after the subject's date of death.
​HUDEN, Lucas Van, Flemish adventurer, b. in Ghent in 1509; d. in Araucania in 1553. He served in the expedition that conquered Venezuela in 1535, and, attaching himself to the fortunes of Valdivia, passed with him to Peru and joined Francisco Pizarro. Valdivia was instructed by the latter to conquer Chili in 1540, and Huden, following his protector, greatly distinguished himself in the subsequent campaigns. He took a prominent part in the battle of the valley of Aconcagua, and decided the issue of the action through a timely movement. When Valdivia founded the city of Santiago, in the valley of Mapocho, 12 February, 1541, Huden was made a member of the cabildo or common council, and given command of the fortress that was built upon the mountain of Santa Lucia. After the assassination of Pizarro, Huden assisted in the election of Valdivia as adelantado. He commanded the artillery which decided the victory in the battle (1541) with the powerful Indian chief Michimalonco, who had succeeded, during the action, in setting fire to Santiago. He offered afterward to go to Cuzco to re-establish communications with Peru, and bring re-enforcements. In company with Alonso de Monroy, Pedro de Miranda, and four cavalry men, he set out on a perilous journey in which his escorts met their death, and Monroy himself was made prisoner by the Indians. Returning to Santiago in September, 1543, with a vessel full of provisions, tools, and ammunition, sent by the governor of Peru, Vasca de Castro, he took part in an expedition sent by Valdivia to explore the south coast, commanded by an Italian mariner, Pastene, and Captain Geronimo de Alderete. They discovered the Chiloe islands in 1544, and advanced along the coast of Chili as far as the Strait of Magellan. Huden was a member of the council of government, appointed by Valdivia to assist his deputy, Villagra, when he left for Peru, in December, 1547, to assist President La Gasca; afterward held several commands, and was sent, in 1543, to re-enforce the fortress of Tucapel in Araucania, besieged by the Indians. The governor resolved to evacuate the fortress, but Huden opposed the plan and remained almost alone in Tucapel, where he was killed in an assault by the Indians.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Howe, Henry

Edition of 1900.
​HOWE, Henry, historian, b. in New Haven, Conn., 11 Oct., 1816. He was the son of Hezekiah Howe, a publisher, in whose book-store he often listened to Noah Webster , Jeremiah Day, Roger Minot Sherman, David Dagett, Benjamin Silliman, and James Gates Percival. He adopted his father's profession, and when only twenty-three published his first book, “Eminent Mechanics” (New York, 1839), which was sold by subscription. The following year he canvassed the state of New York with John W. Barber
(q.v.), collecting materials and making drawings for “Historical Collections of New York” (New York, 1841). The two afterward issued together”Historical Collections of New Jersey” (New York, 1841). On the publication of his book on Ohio, Mr. Howe removed to Cincinnati, where he devoted himself to compiling similar works. His most important publication was “Our Whole Country” (2 vols., Cincinnati, 1861), which was designed to give a compete survey of the United States at the time when it was written. In 1856 he had made arrangements with Mr. Barber to travel throughout the Union, take views and collect materials for the proposed work, and it was five years in preparation. The time of its publication was unfortunate, as the people then cared for nothing but war literature, and when the great struggle had ended the book was out of date. Since the autumn of 1885 Mr. Howe has been engaged in preparing a new edition of his work on the state of Ohio, which he expects to publish toward the close of 1887. His publications include, besides the already mentioned, “Historical Collections of Virginia” (Charleston, S.C., 1845); “Historical Collections of Ohio” (Cincinnati, 1847); “The Great West” (1851); “Travels and Adventures of Celebrated Travellers” (1853); “Life and Death on the Ocean” (1855); “Adventures and Achievements of Americans” (1858); “Times of the Rebellion in the West” (1867); and “Over the World” (Philadelphia, 1883). Mr. Howe has also issued a pamphlet-form “Outline History of New Haven” (1884), and “New Haven's Elms and Greens” (1885).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Howe, John Ireland

Edition of 1892.
​HOWE, John Ireland, inventor, b. in Ridgefield, Conn., 20 July, 1793; d. in Birmingham, Conn., 10 Sept., 1876. He began the study of medicine in 1812, and for several years was one of the resident physicians of the New York almshouse. Later he followed his profession in New York city, and in 1829 settled in North Salem, N. Y. ​During his residence in New York he experimented on India-rubber, and in 1828 obtained a patent for a rubber compound. After settling in North Salem, he built a factory for the manufacture of rubber, which was abandoned soon after, owing to lack of success. Mr. Howe says: “So far as I know, I was the first person who attempted to utilize rubber by combining other substances with it, but I did not happen to stumble upon the right substance.” He then began a series of experiments with a view of constructing a machine for the manufacture of pins, and, after laboring during the winters of 1830-'1, made a machine that was successful as a working model, and would make pins, though in an imperfect manner. He patented this machine in 1832, and during the same year was awarded a large silver medal by the American institute. A second machine was completed early in 1833, after which he went to Europe for the purpose of securing patents abroad. In January, 1834, he began the building of a machine, in Manchester, with which pins to the weight of 24,000 to the pound were made, but he was unsuccessful in disposing of his European patents, and returned to New York after an absence of about two years. Soon after his return the Howe manufacturing company was organized for the purpose of making pins with the machine he had invented. Dr. Howe was appointed general agent of the company, and continued in that capacity until 1865, having the management of the manufacturing department. Shops were fitted up in New York in 1836, but the factory was removed in 1838 to Birmingham, Conn. Late in 1838 a new “rotary machine” was invented by Dr. Howe, which he patented in 1840. For upward of thirty years this machine was used without any material improvement or alteration, and in 1842 Dr. Howe was awarded a gold medal by the American institute for the “best solid-headed pins,” which were made on this machine. Subsequently he invented improvements in the methods used for “sheeting” pins, and was associated in the invention of means by which japanned “mourning-pins” were made.
