44. In like manner we might go through the other narratives, and show that in these also, and in expositions of these, something far different from what the gods should be is said and declared about them, as in this very story which I shall next relate, one or two only being added to it, that disgust may not be produced by excess. After certain gods were brought from among nations dwelling beyond the sea, you say, and after temples were built to them, after their altars were heaped with sacrifices, the plague-stricken people grew strong and recovered, and the pestilence fled before the soundness of health which arose. What gods, say, I beseech? Æsculapius, you say, the god of health, from Epidaurus, and now settled in the island in the middle of the Tiber. If we were disposed to be very scrupulous in dealing with your assertions, we might prove by your own authority that he was by no means divine who had been conceived and born from a woman’s womb, who had by yearly stages reached that term of life at which, as is related in your books, a thunderbolt drove him at once from life and light. But we leave this question: let the son of Coronis be, as you wish, one of the immortals, and possessed of the everlasting blessedness of heaven. From Epidaurus, however, what was brought except an enormous serpent? If we trust the annals, and ascribe to them well-ascertained truth, nothing else, as it has been recorded. What shall we say then? That Æsculapius, whom you extol, an excellent, a venerable god, the giver of health, the averter, preventer, destroyer of sickness, is contained within the form and outline of a serpent, crawling along the earth as worms are wont to do, which spring from mud; he rubs the ground with his chin and breast, dragging himself in sinuous coils; and that he may be able to go forward, he draws on the last part of his body by the efforts of the first.

45. And as we read that he used food also, by which bodily existence is kept up, he has a large gullet, that he may gulp down the food sought for with gaping mouth; he has a belly to receive it, and a place where he may digest the flesh which he has eaten and devoured, that blood may be given to his body, and his strength recruited; he has also a draught, by which the filth is got rid of, freeing his body from a disagreeable burden. Whenever he changes his place, and prepares to pass from one region to another, he does not as a god fly secretly through the stars of heaven, and stand in a moment where something requires his presence, but, just as a dull animal of earth, he seeks a conveyance on which he may be borne; he avoids the waves of the sea; and that he may be safe and sound, he goes on board ship along with men; and that god of the common safety trusts himself to weak planks and to sheets of wood joined together. We do not think that you can prove and show that that serpent was Æsculapius, unless you choose to bring forward this pretext, that you should say that the god changed himself into a snake, in order that he might be able to deceive men as to himself, who he was, or to see what men were. But if you say this, the inconsistency of your own statements will show how weak and feeble such a defence is. For if the god shunned being seen by men, he should not have chosen to be seen in the form of a serpent, since in any form whatever he was not to be other than himself, but always himself. But if, on the other hand, he had been intent on allowing himself to be seen—he should not have refused to allow men’s eyes to look on him—why did he not show himself such as he knew that he was in his own divine power? For this was preferable, and much better, and more befitting his august majesty, than to become a beast, and be changed into the likeness of a terrible animal, and afford room for objections, which cannot be decided, as to whether he was a true god, or something different and far removed from the exalted nature of deity.

Edition of 1900.
​HUNTINGTON, Lucius Seth, Canadian states- man, b. in Compton, Quebec, 26 May, 1827 ; d. in New York city, 19 May, 1886. He was the grand- son of a New England loyalist who removed to Canada and settled at Compton toward the end of the 18th century. He was educated at Sherbrooke, where he studied law, was admitted to the bar of Lower Canada in 1853, and appointed queen's coun- sel in 1863. He contested Shefford for the Canada assembly in 1860, when there was no return, repre- senting that constituency from the general election of 1861 till the union, and in the Dominion parlia- ment from 1867 till 1882, when he was defeated. He was a member of the executive council of Canada, and solicitor-general of Lower Canada from May, 1863, till March, 1864, when the Sand- field Macdonald-Dorion government resigned. He became a member of the privy council of Canada, 29 Jan., 1874, and was president of that body from that time until appointed postmaster-general, 9 Oct., 1875, which portfolio he held until the resig- nation of the government in October, 1878. Dur- ing the absence of the premier, Alexander Mac- Kenzie, in England in 1875, Mr. Huntington acted as minister of public works. He took an active part in prosecuting the inquiry relative to the Canadian Pacific railway scandal, which resulted in the fall of the Conservative government in Oc- tober, 1873. He was largely interested in mining industries, and had for years been engaged in de- veloping those of the province of Quebec. For three years before his death he resided in New York city, undergoing treatment for a malady that at last proved fatal. He was regarded in Canada as a pronounced annexationist, and some of his politi- cal titterances in favor of this project tended to render him unpopular toward the close of his po- litical career. He was the author of a novel, " Pro- fessor Conant " (New York, 1884).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Huss, Magnus

Edition of 1892. This is a fictitious person. This entry has been copied to a large extent from Felix de Azara's biography from in the Cyclopædia, as it almost exactly parallels de Azara's real life. There is also a marked incompatibility in that the subject was supposedly Swedish, but the titles of three of the alleged literary works are written in French, one is written in German, and one is written in Danish: there is also a spelling error in the title of one alleged literary work, and a grammatical error in the title of one alleged literary work.
​HUSS, Magnus, Swedish naturalist, b. in Upsala in 1752; d. in Stockholm in 1799. He was secretary in 1781 of one of the ministers that were sent by Spain to determine the boundaries between the Portuguese and the Spanish possessions in South America, according to the treaty of San Ildefonso,and during his sojourn of fifteen years in the country he made a chart of the province of Asuncion, which was considered until recently as a valuable one. He studied also the natural history of South America, and published among other works “Reisa y Amerika och det indre Paraguay” (Stockholm, 1796; translated into French as “Voyage au Paraguay,” 2 vols., Paris, 1798; and into English as “A Relation of a Journey through South America in the Paraguay Province,” London, 1800); “Essai sur l'histoire naturelle des quadrupédes des provinces du Paraguay et de l'Uruguay” (5 vols., Stockholm, 1797); “Traité sur les reptiles de l'Amérique du Sud,” which is yet considered as an authority (2 vols., Stockholm, 1799); “Amerikanisk nationens Seder, Bruk, och Klædedrægter,” a dissertation on the customs of South America; and “Délimitation des frontières des possessions Espagnoles et Portugaises dans l'Amérique duSud, selon le traité de San Ildefonso” (2 vols., with charts, Stockholm, 1799).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Hurd, Frank Hunt

Edition of 1900.
​HURD, Frank Hunt, lawyer, b. in Mount Vernon, Ohio, 25 Dec., 1841. He was graduated at Kenyon college in 1858, studied law, became county prosecuting attorney in 1863, and a state senator in 1866. In 1874 he was elected a representative in congress from Ohio as a Democrat, and served one term, being defeated in 1876. He was again elected in 1878 and 1882, but was defeated in 1880 and 1886. Mr. Hurd has been conspicuous as an active advocate of free trade doctrines. He codified the criminal laws of Ohio in 1868.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Huon de Penanster, Charles Henry

Edition of 1892. This is a fictitious person. This entry has been copied to a large extent from Nicolas Thiéry de Ménonville's biography in the Cyclopedia, as it almost exactly parallels Thiéry de Ménonville's real life. Also, there is a reference to the subject being made knight of St. Louis, but that city was not founded until 1764.
HUON DE PENANSTER, Charles Henry, French botanist, b. in Dinan in 1727; d. in Santo Domingo in 1771. He was descended from an ancient family of Brittany, and left the French navy in 1751 to devote himself to botany. He had seen in New Spain the cochineal insect, of which the Mexicans forbade the sale to foreigners, and, resolving to naturalize it in Santo Domingo, he went in 1752 to Mexico under the disguise of a Spanish physician. He remained three years in the country learning how to breed the insect, and also ascertaining the use of the nopal-plant, on which it feeds; and, having at last obtained specimens of both in 1755, he transported them, at great personal risk, to Santo Domingo, where their cultivation soon became a prosperous industry. Louis XV, made Huon knight of St. Louis, the governor-general of Santo Domingo granted him a large tract of land near the city of Cape François, and the inhabitants of the colony, through a public subscription, presented him with a gold medal in 1758. Huon never returned to the Spanish possessions, as the Mexicans were greatly incensed against him for depriving them of the tribute for cochineal from European countries. He made Santo Domingo his home, and devoted the remainder of his life to the welfare of the colony. He was pensioned as royal botanist in 1768, and founded in Cape Français the botanical society of the Philadelphes, establishing also a botanical garden, which is still one of the ornaments of the city and opening a museum of natural history, the contents of which he had himself collected. He published “Traité de culture du nopal” (Cape Français, 1758); “De l’éducation de la cochenille, et de leur acclimatation à Saint Domingue” (1767, reprinted in “Mémoires de l’Académie des Sciences”), and “Voyage à Guaraxa dans la Nouvelle Espagne” (1761).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Hutchins, Thomas

Edition of 1900.
​HUTCHINS, Thomas, geographer, b. in Monmouth, N.J., in 1730; d. in Pittsburg, Pa., 28 April, 1789. Before he was sixteen he entered the British army as an ensign, and became paymaster and captain of the 60th Royal American Regiment. He was assistant engineer in the expedition of Gen. Henry Bouquet (q.v.) in 1764, and took part in the campaign against the Florida Indians. When he was in London in 1779 his known devotion to the cause of American independence caused his imprisonment for six weeks on a charge of maintaining correspondence with Benjamin Franklin, who was then in France. By this imprisonment he is said to have lost £12,000. He soon afterward went to France, and thence to Charleston, S.C., where he joined Gen. Nathanael Greene, and received the title of “geographer-general.” He furnished the maps and plates of Dr. William Smith's “Account of Bouquet's Expedition” (Philadelphia, 1765); and is the author of “A Topographical Description of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and North Carolina” (London, 1778); “History, Narrative, and Topographical Description of Louisiana and West Florida” (Philadelphia, 1784); three papers in the “Philadelphia Transactions” (1775-'6 and 1783); and one in the “Transactions of the American Society.”
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Hutten, Philip von

Edition of 1900.
​HUTTEN, Philip von, adventurer, b. in Franconia, Germany, near the close of the 15th century; d. in Venezuela in 1546. He joined the first expedition that was sent out by the Welsers of Augsburg to form a colony in South America. Charles V. made a grant of the province of Venezuela to these bankers as a hereditary fief in return for the enormous sums that he owed them. The conduct of the German adventurers was even more ferocious than that of the Spaniards, but Oviedo says that, while Hutten was fully as brave and ambitious as his companions, he was much less cruel. He landed at Coro in 1531, and his life afterward was full of privations, dangers, and misfortunes. In one of his expeditions to Lake Maracaibo he heard of a country called Eldorado. An Indian of high rank gave him the most positive details regarding this imaginary region, and, after acquainting him with the route to it, offered to act as his guide. After a painful march, of eight days, in severe weather, the Indian escaped. Several of the party soon died of hunger and fatigue. They were frequently attacked by the Indians, and, always deceived by false intelligence, wandered for four years from one point to another. At last, when their number had been reduced from 130 to 39, they arrived near a large and fine city, where they were attacked by several thousand Indians. Hutten, although he had been severely wounded, charged at the head of his band and completely routed the enemy. He then set out on his return to Coro, but never reached his destination. The province of Venezuela had been taken possession of by Carvajal during the absence of Hutten. The latter, to whom the government of the province belonged by right, was assassinated on the road to Coro, by order of Carvajal. Hutten wrote a narrative of his campaigns. The manuscript was brought to Germany, and lay so long lost in a library that it became almost illegible. It was finally published in the first volume of the collection entitled “Literary and Historical Magazine,” by Meusel (Bayreuth and Leipsic, 1785). It bears the title “News from the Indies,” and contains valuable information on the events in which the author took part from 1535 to 1546, while giving graphic descriptions of the countries through which he passed.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Hühne, Bernhard

Edition of 1892. This is a fictitious person. This entry has been copied to a large extent from Sebastian Vizcaino's biography from in the Cyclopædia, as it almost exactly parallels Vizcaino's real life. There are anachronisms regarding the subject's travels, as well as errors in geography of the coast of California, and there is a reference to him sighting Cape San Sebastian, which was not named as such until 1603. The title of the Allgemeine Encyclopädie has been misspelled, and there is no entry for the subject in this work.
​HÜHNE, Bernhard, German navigator, b. in Heidelberg in 1547; d. in Nuremberg in 1611. He entered the Spanish service, and was chief pilot attached to the colony of New Spain in 1599. Philip III., believing in the fabulous strait of Anian, where legend placed an immensely rich city, and dissatisfied with the preceding explorations of Viscaino and Alarcon, ordered the Count of Monterey, governor of New Spain, to send out a new expedition. Monterey gave the mission to Hühne and Juan Fernandez, and they sailed from Acapulco in May, 1660, with two vessels, touching at Zalagua, where they separated. Juan Fernandez sailed to Cape Mendocino, and promised to wait there for Hühne, who resolved to enter the country and obtain information from the natives. But the Indians of California attacked the Spanish, killed a great number of them, and obliged Hühne to re-embark. He despatched a small schooner to Fernandez to call him back, and together they sailed for Acapulco, arriving in September. In March, 1661, Hühne sailed again, but was more cautious. He spent nine months at sea before sighting Cape San Sebastian, January, 1602, on the Bay of Monterey, where he resolved to winter. He succeeded in establishing friendly intercourse with the aborigines, and was soon convinced that the city of Anian was fabulous. Although the clever pilot could not realize the object of his mission, he nevertheless resolved to render it useful in some way, and he set to work to correct the chart made by Alarcon, and construct an exact one of the Gulf of California. He consumed two years in the work, and performed it so well that future navigators, using his charts, were able to go from Acapulco to Monterey in two months, when before ten months was considered a quick passage. The charts made by Hühne were in use for over a century. They were published in Acapulco in 1661, and reprinted in Lisbon (1667) and Seville (1670). The “Allgemeine Encyklopaedie” of Ersch and Grüber says he left an undiscovered manuscript.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Huntington, Samuel

Edition of 1900. young Samuel was on “Supreme Court” of Ohio, not “Superior Court”
HUNTINGTON, Samuel, signer of the Declaration of Independence, b. in Windham, Conn., 3 July, 1731; d. in Norwich, Conn., 5 Jan., 1796. His education was limited, and he learned the trade of a cooper, also working on his father's farm, and devoting his liesure to study till he was twenty-two, when he turned his attention to law. He settled in Norwich about 1758, which town he represented in the general assembly in 1764. He received the office of king's attorney in 1765, and in 1775 sat in the upper house of the Connecticut assembly. He was a member of the Continental congress from 1776 till 1783, and served as president of this body from 28 Sept., 1779 till 6 July, 1781, when he retired, receiving the thanks of congress “in testimony of appreciation of his conduct in the chair and in the execution of public business.” From 1774 till 1784 he was a judge of the supreme court of Connecticut, and was chief justice in 1784. In 1785 he was lieutenant-governor, and he was governor of Connecticut from 1786 till 1796. The degree of LL.D. was conferred on him by Dartmouth in 1785, and by Yale in 1787. - His brother, Joseph, clergyman, b. in Windham county, Conn., 5 May, 1735; d. in Coventry, Conn., 25 Dec., 1794, was compelled by his father to be a clothier, but when he was of age he went to Yale, where he was ​graduated in 1762. On 29 June, 1763, he became pastor of a Congregational church in Coventry, where he remained till his death. He received the degree of D.D. from Dartmouth in 1780, when he was made a trustee, serving till 1788. He inculcated the doctrine of universal salvation, and wrote many sermons and addresses, among which were an “Address to his Anabaptist Brethren” (1783); and “Thoughts on the Atonement of Christ” (1791). He left a work in manuscript entitled “Calvinism Improved,” which was published in 1796. - Joseph's son, Samuel, governor of Ohio, b. in Coventry, Conn., 4 Oct., 1765; d. in Painesville, Ohio, 8 June, 1817, was adopted and educated by his uncle Samuel, and was graduated at Yale in 1785. He was admitted to the bar in Norwich in 1793, and removed to Cleveland in 1801, after which he removed to Painesville in 1805. He was a judge of the court of common pleas in 1802-'03, of the superior court in 1803, and afterward chief justice. He was a member of the first constitutional convention of Ohio in 1802, a senator in its first legislature, and served as speaker. He was governor of Ohio from 1808 till 1810. Gov. Huntington was one of the original proprietors of Fairport, founded in 1812. He held the office of district paymaster with the rank of colonel from 1812 till 1814.

When I'm dead, then let me slumber Underneath a mound, 'Mid the rolling steppe, with precious Ukraine earth around; That the mighty girth of acres, Dnieper's craggy shores, I may gaze on, and may hearken How the blusterer roars.
When it bears away from Ukraine To the azure sea Foemen's blood,—then I'll depart from Mountain-side and lea: These unheeding, I'll be speeding Even unto God, There to pray, but till that happen, I'll know naught of God.
Grant me burial, then uprising, Shatter every gyve; Drench with evil blood of foeman Freedom, that it thrive. And my name in your great kindred, Kindred free and new, Ye shall cherish, lest it perish,— Speak me fair and true. (1845.)
