# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Brandy

Edition of 1802.
​BRANDY, is a spirituous and inflammable liquor, obtained by distillation from wine. French brandies are accounted the best in ​Europe; and those of Bourdeaux, Rochelle, Cogniac, Charenton, &c. are held in the highest estimation. Cood brandy is clear, not too hot, nor sharp, and of a pleasant vinous flavour. French brandy acquires by age a great degree of softness, and at the same time a yellowish brown colour, which our distillers have imitated in their artificial preparations. But this colour being found only in such brandies as have become mellow by long keeping, it follows that the ingredient, from which it is extracted, is the wood of the cask, and that the brandy in reality has received a tincture from the oak. The peculiar flavour which French brandies possess, is supposed to be derived from an essential oil of wine, mixed with the spirit; but, more probably, it originates from the very nature of the grape, or the wine-lees.
It deserves to be remarked, that our distillers frequently make use of the spirit of nitrous æther, commonly called, dulcified spirit of nitre; a very small proportion of which, added to pure whiskey, or a liquor obtained by the distillation of malt, imparts to it a favour, not unlike that of French brandy.
A vinous spirit has been extracted from carrots by Mr. Thomas Hornby, of York, who, in 1788, communicated to Dr. Hunter a particular account of the whole process. This may be viewed in the light of a national advantage, as it affords the means of supplying another material for the distiller, and of saving great quantities of barley and wheat. By Mr. Hornby's experiment, it was found, that an acre of carrots (20 tons) produced 240 gallons of spirit, which is considerably more than what can be obtained from five quarters of barley, the average produce of an acre.
Brandy, even of the most genuine kind, is less wholesome than rum; but the counterfeit and adulterated sorts are exceedingly detrimental to those who are habitually addicted to the use of this pernicious liquor. It should, therefore, be drunk very moderately, rather from necessity than for gratification.—When the stomach is empty, weak, and lax, a moderate dram excites a pleasant warmth and gentle tension; it is said to promote digestion, by dissolving the viscid phlegm which loaded that organ, invigorating its fibres, and stimulating its coats to act with more vigour. Yet all these good effects will not counterbalance the mischiefs done by an indiscreet and immoderate use of this cordial. Melancholy tempers, as well as choleric and sanguine habits, cannot fail to be injured by ardent spirits; and, in short, a too free use of them, in any constitution, is of the most fatal consequence. Hence, Sydenham with great justice and propriety exclaims, "Would to God brandy were totally abstained from, or used only on occasions to support Nature, and not destroy it, unless it were thought proper to prohibit any internal use of it at all, and leave it entirely to surgeons for bathing ulcers and burns."—See also Distilling.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Brawn

Edition of 1802.
​BRAWN, is the flesh of a boar, pickled or souced, which is always found to be better tasted, according to the greater age of the animal.—The most approved method of preparing it is as follows: After the boar is killed, take the flitches only, without the legs, and extract the bones from them; sprinkle the flesh with salt, and lay it in a tray till the blood is drained off; let it then be salted a little more, and rolled up as hard as possible. The collar of brawn should be made of the whole length of the flitch, so as to measure nine or ten inches in diameter. The flesh thus prepared is to be boiled in a large kettle or copper, till it becomes tender enough to be pierced with a straw: then set it by, till it is thoroughly cold, and immerse it into the following pickle: To every gallon of water, put near two handfuls of salt, and as much wheat-bran; boil them well together; then drain the liquor from the bran as clear as possible; and when the liquor is quite cold, put the bran into it.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Bran

Edition of 1802.
​BRAN, the husks of wheat, which when ground are separated from the flour by a sieve. It contains a portion of the farinaceous matter, less glutinous than flour, and slightly detergent and purgative. Infusions of bran are often applied externally, to cleanse the hands instead of soap; and it also removes scurf and dandriff.
Bran may, in times of scarcity, be advantageously employed in the making of common household bread; this is effected by previously boiling the bran in water, and then adding the whole decoction to the dough: thus the bran will be sufficiently softened, and divested of its dry husky quality; while the nutritive part, which is supposed to contain an essential oil, is duly prepared for food. It is asserted, that the increase in the quantity of bread, by the addition of 14lb. 14 oz. of bran to 56lb. of flour, is from 34lb. to 36lb. of bread, beyond what is produced by the common mode. In one instance, 56lb. of flour, with 14lb. 14 oz. of bran, produced, on being weighed the next day, when cold, 106lb. and a half of bread; which is above half as much more than what is commonly made, and about twice the quantity obtained from a bushel of wheat, when merely the fine flour is used.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Brass

Edition of 1802.
​BRASS, in metallurgy, is a fictitious metal, made of copper and zinc, or lapis calaminaris. The French call it yellow copper. The Scriptures inform us, that the first formation of brass was previous to the deluge; but the use of it was not, as is generally believed, and as the Arundelian marbles assert, ​prior to the knowledge of iron. In the earliest ages, whose manners have been delineated by history, we find the weapons of their warriors invariably framed of this fictitious metal. Military nations were naturally studious of brightness in their arms: and the Ancient Britons, particularly, gloried in the neatness of theirs. Hence various nations continued to fabricate their arms of brass, even after the discovery of iron.
By long calcination alone, and without the mixture of any other substance with it, brass affords a beautiful green or blue colour for glass: but if it be calcined with powdered sulphur, it will give a red, yellow, or chalcedony colour, according to the quantity, and other variations in using it.
Brass-colour, is that prepared by colour-men and braziers to imitate brass; of which there are two sorts: namely, the red brass, or bronze, which is mixed with red-ochre, finely pulverized; and the yellow, or gilt brass, which is made of copper-filings only. Both sorts are used with varnish.
Corinthian brass, is a mixture of gold, silver, and copper; so called from the melting and running together of immense quantities of those metals, when the city of Corinth was sacked and burnt, 146 years before Christ.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Breeches

Edition of 1802.
​BREECHES, a part of the dress of most Europeans, worn by males, and reaching from the waist to the knees. The Romans had no dress corresponding with our breeches. This article appears to be a habit peculiar to the barbarous nations of the North: they were worn by the ancient Gauls, Germans, and Britons; and were also introduced into Italy, as early as the time of Augustus, where they afterwards grew so fashionable, that Honorius and Arcadius thought proper to restrain them by a law, and to expel the breeches-makers from Rome, under the idea that it was unworthy a nation which ruled the world, to wear the apparel of barbarians.
With respect to the construction of this article of our dress, it may be useful to observe, that if made too tight in the waistband, or of improper materials, they must necessarily occasion uneasiness, and prove injurious to the body. The form most to be preferred, and now very generally adopted, is that of pantaloons: these ought to be of a sufficient width, of a thin substance in summer, and of warm cloth in winter. Breeches made of leather, and so narrow as to fit exactly the shape of the limbs, are liable to many inconveniencies: they benumb the hips and thighs, occasion a painful pressure upon the parts, especially the abdomen; and, by the close texture of the leather, in a great measure impede perspiration.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Bow

Edition of 1802.
​BOW, a weapon made of wood, horn, or some other elastic substance, and bent into a curve, in which position it is kept by a string fastened to each end. The elastic power thus acquired, is such, that after bending, and unbending, an arrow is impelled with great force.
The long-bow, so called by way of distinction from the cross-bow, is the most ancient of all weapons, and has very generally been used by remote and barbarous nations. The Laplanders, who support themselves principally by hunting, excel the most civilized nations in the construction of this instrument. Their bow is composed of two pieces of strong elastic wood, of an equal size, which are flat on each side, and glewed together. This instrument expels the arrow with much greater force than if it were formed of one piece of similar dimensions.
The Indians still make use of the bow; and the repository of the Royal Society contains a West-Indian bow two yards long.
In the year 1749 a bow and quiver containing twenty-four arrows, made of reed, pointed with steel, and bearded, were found in the New Forest, Hampshire, supposed to have lain there since the reign of William Rufus, who was shot there 649 years previous to their discovery: the reeds were not decayed, nor the steel points rusty.
The strength of a bow is calculated on the principle, that its spring or elastic power is proportionate to the extent of its curve. The use of the bow is termed archery, and those who practise it, are called bowmen, or archers.—See Archery.
Cross-bow. This weapon consists of a steel bow set in a shaft of wood, with a string and trigger. It is bent by means of a piece of steel, and expels bullets, large arrows, darts, &c. with great velocity.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Bramble

Edition of 1802.
​BRAMBLE, the Common, or Rubus fruticosus, L. a species of the raspberry bush, which grows wild in hedges, and has three varieties, one of which bears white fruit.—See With. 469. There are several other species indigenous in England; as the saxatilis, or stone bramble, the arcticus, or dwarf crimson bramble, the chamæmorus, or mountain bramble, by some called cloud-berry, and the corylifolius, or hazel-leaved bramble.
The bad effects of the fruit of the bramble, when eaten too freely, have already been mentioned under the article Blackberry. In Provence, it is employed in the colouring of wine. The Russians mix the berries of the saxatilis with honey, which, when fermented, is a pleasant beverage. Wine and vinegar are also made from the fruit of the bramble; and a syrup and jelly prepared from it, are used as gentle astringents. The leaves afford several colours in dyeing.
As this plant is of quick growth, it may be advantageously employed for inclosures; because it defends the young quick-set hedge from sheep, and by intertwining itself with a dead hedge, preserves it from injury. The usual method of planting it, is in two rows upon the bank, the lower of bramble, and the upper of white-thorn.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Botts

Edition of 1802.
​BOTTS, in zoology, a species of short worms produced and nourished in the intestines of a horse.
As the flies, from whose eggs the botts are produced, do not frequent the neighbourhood of large towns, horses are not liable to this disease, if they be kept in the stable during summer and autumn.
In summer the females of these flies enter the anus of the horse, where they deposit their eggs, which are soon hatched by the heat, and the worms penetrate into the intestines, sometimes as far as the stomach.
Botts are yery large maggots, composed of circular rings with prickly feet, by which they adhere to the part where they breed, and derive their nourishment. When they reach the stomach, they fasten themselves in its muscular coat, and suck the blood like leeches, each worm ulcerating the part where it fixes, till it resembles a honey-comb. These worms are not unfrequently the cause of convulsions.
Botts that are generated in the stomach of the horse are extremely dangerous, and seldom discoverable till they have acquired some strength, when they throw him into great agonies.
The symptoms of the other kinds, which are more troublesome than dangerous, are the following: The horse becomes lean, and looks jaded; his hair stands out roughly; he often strikes his hind feet against his belly; he is sometimes griped, but generally lies down quietly on his belly for a short time, and then gets up and eats his food. But the surest sign is, when he voids the botts in his dung.
For the cure of botts in the stomach, calomel should first be given in large quantities, and repeated at intervals. Æthiops mineral may be given afterwards.
The botts, that many horses are troubled with in the beginning of summer, are always seen on the straight gut, and are often thrown out with the dung and a yellowish matter. They are not dangerous in that part, though they render the horse restless. The season when they affect the animal is commonly in the months of May and June, after which they are rarely seen, as they do not continue with the horse above a fortnight or three weeks. Botts in the straight gut may be cured by giving the horse a spoonful of savin, cut small, once or twice a day, in oats or bran moistened, to which may be added three or four cloves of garlic. The following aloetic purge should also be given at intervals: Fine socotrine aloes, ten drams; fresh jalap, one dram; aristolochia, or birthwort and myrrh ​powdered, of each two drams; oil of savin and amber, of each one dram; syrup of buckthorn, enough to form the whole into a ball.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Bounty

Edition of 1802.
​BOUNTY, in commerce, a premium paid by government to the exporters and importers of certain commodities, such as corn, sail-cloth, silk-stockings, fish, &c.
Bounties are sometimes given to support a new manufacture against one of a similar kind established by other nations. To promote the manufacture of sail-cloth in this country, was doubtless an object of the greatest national importance, on account of our vast consumption of that article.
The principal intention of bounties to exporters, is to enable the British trader to become beneficial to his country, by giving him a compensation for his ingenuity and industry. As bounties are usually granted only for a limited time, they can never be the cause of any material loss to a nation, though avaricious men are often stimulated by a desire of gain, to convert to their private advantage what was intended for the benefit of the community.

Calcutta: PRINTED AT THE "HINDOO PATRIOT" PRESS No. 108, VARANASI GHOSHA'S STREET.
1871.
PREFACE.
About a week before the Durga Puja holidays ensued I requested the author to write a paper on this chief national festival of the Hindus of Bengal, giving an account of the rites and ceremonies connected with it. He readily complied with my request, and although written at the spur of the moment and necessarily in great hurry, the paper has proved so interesting and has been so favorably received by the public that I have thought it proper to reprint it in the present form, chiefly with a view to circulate it among oriental scholars and others, who take interest in the religious institutions of the Hindus. The difficulties, which the author has met with in rendering into English the peculiar forms and expressions of Sanskrit Mantras and Slokas, may be easily imagined by those who have an experience of such work, and it is I think sufficient to mention that he has paid more attention to matter than to manner.
The Introduction and the Notes have been added by the author and the illustrations executed by Babu Tulsidas Pal, a student of the Government Arts School of Calcutta.

Durfee v. Duke
Argued: Oct. 24, 1963. --- Decided: Dec 2, 1963
Mr. Justice BLACK, concurring.
Petitioners and respondents dispute the ownership of a tract of land adjacent to the Missouri River, which is the boundary between Nebraska and Missouri. Resolution of this question turns on Whether the land is in Nebraska or Missouri. Neither State, of course, has power to make a determination binding on the other as to which State the land is in. U.S.Const. Art. III, § 2; 28 U.S.C. § 1251(a). However, in a private action brought by these Nebraska petitioners, the Nebraska Supreme Court has held that the disputed tract is in Nebraska. In the present suit, brought by this Missouri respondent in Missouri, the United States Court of Appeals has refused to be bound by the Nebraska court's judgment. I concur in today's reversal of the Court of Appeals' judgment, but with the understanding that we are not deciding the question whether the respondent would continue to be bound by the Nebraska judgment should it later be authoritatively decided, either in an original proceeding between the States in this Court or by a compact between the two States under Art. I, § 10, that the disputed tract is in Missouri.

# Downes v. Bidwell

Downes v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244 (1901), was a case in which the United States Supreme Court decided whether United States territories were subject to the provisions and protections of the United States Constitution. This question is sometimes stated as "does the Constitution follow the flag?". The resulting decision narrowly held that the U.S. Constitution did not necessarily apply to territories. Instead, the United States Congress had jurisdiction to create law within territories in certain circumstances, particularly dealing with revenue, that would not be allowed by the U.S. Constitution for proper states within the union. It has become known as one of the "Insular Cases". Warning: template has been deprecated.
