The Souls of Black Folk is a classic work of African-American literature by W. E. B. Du Bois. The book, published in 1903, contains several essays on race, some of which had been previously published in Atlantic Monthly magazine. Du Bois drew from his own experiences to develop this groundbreaking work on being African-American in American society. Outside of its notable place in African-American history, The Souls of Black Folk also holds an important place in social science as one of the early works to deal with sociology.Warning: template has been deprecated.

THE TRUE STORY
OF THE
VATICAN COUNCIL.
BY
HENRY EDWARD,
CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP OF WESTMINSTER.
Henry S. King & Co., London.
1877.
PREFACE.
This brief Story of the Vatican Council was written at the request of two lay friends, who thought that a true and sufficient estimate of the Council was seldom to be found in what is called public opinion. I call it a Story, because to write a History of the Vatican Council would be the work of a man's life. Slight as I know it to be, I know it also to be true. The facts narrated rest partly upon the authority of the Archbishop of Florence, and none can be more amply provided with documents; and partly upon that of the Secretary of the Council, the Bishop of St. Polten. To this I may also add that, for many details, I have before me the Diary of a very learned and distinguished Bishop present in the Council; and also my own knowledge of facts of which I was personally a witness.

# The Victoria History of the County of Lincoln/Mr. Ewbank's Hunt

Layout 2
MR. EWBANK'S HUNT
Mr. Ewbank's country on the east coast consists of an area of flat land partly in the Brocklesby and partly in the Southwold, which was seldom hunted by either pack, and unless a fox ran thither was practically never visited by hounds. There are no coverts except a few spinneys and 'screens'; but it is the resort of many outlying foxes, and a few litters are bred there. It is a formidable country of wide, deep-cut drains, and the fences, where such exist, are well trimmed and very stiff; there is also much timber. The only drawbacks are the occasional wide outfalls and rivers, impassable for horses. Receiving permission from the Earl of Yarborough and Mr. E. P. Rawnsley in November, 1904, Mr. W. A. Ewbank, of Fulstow Hall, near Louth, got together a few couples of hounds to provide a little sport for the farmers for whom the nearest meets of the two old-established packs lie somewhat wide. The farmers and local gentry have given him cordial support, and several of the leading masters of hounds, among them the Duke of Beaufort, the late Captain Lane Fox of the Bramham Moor, the masters of the Quorn and the Sinnington, contributed to the pack, which numbers some ten couples. Since the hunt was established there have been many really fine runs with the wild marsh foxes. Long runs are the rule, and hounds nearly always account for their fox if he remains above ground. The kennels are at the resident of the master, who hunts his hounds himself, his whippers-in being Mr. W. M. Casswell, North Ormsby Hall, and Mr. T. Mountain, Utterby. Mr. W. G. Smyth, Elkington Hall, is the hon. secretary. The country extends from Holton le Clay and Tetney to the railway from Louth to Mablethorpe; and from the railway from Holton le Clay to Louth to the sea. There is very little grass. Some wire occurs near the sea, but there is none farther inland. The hunting days depend on the fixtures of the Brocklebsy and the Southwold, and meets are notified only to those owners and farmers whose lands the hounds hunt.

OTTER HOUNDS
No otter hounds are kennelled in the county, but now and then a pack pays it a visit, hunting the Bain in the Southwold country and the various brooks and becks in Lord Yarborough's domains. In 1904 Mr. Evan Jones brought the Ynysfor hounds and killed a fine otter in the brook between Ulceby and Thornton.
# The Victoria History of the County of Lincoln/The Marquess of Exeter's Hunt

Layout 2
THE MARQUESS OF EXETER'S HUNT
The Cottesmore claim a corner of Lincolnshire at Bourne, but the country is seldom hunted, and some of it has been lent to the Marquess of Exeter, who shows much sport. The Marquess of Exeter's pack, partly foxhounds and partly harriers, was established in 1899. It was at first a harrier-pack pure and simple, with hounds entered in the H. and B. Stud Book. In the season 1905–6 the marquess entered his hounds ​to fox, hunting that part of the Fitzwilliam country lent him by Mr. G. C. W. Fitzwilliam in the immediate neighbourhood of his residence, Burghley House, Stamford, with invitation days in neighbouring countries. Lord Kesteven, formerly Sir John Trollope, used to hunt up to Bourne Wood, and Mr. Tailby came right up to Manton Gorse.
# The Victoria History of the County of Lincoln/The Belvoir Hunt

Layout 2
THE BELVOIR HUNT
The greater part of the Belvoir country lies in Lincolnshire. The northern boundaries extend from Newark by way of Leadenham and Sleaford eastward to the North Sea, but the fen country east of the railway from Sleaford to Bourne is not hunted, the wide drains and outfalls making it impassable for horsemen. The Blankney is the Belvoir's immediate neighbour on the north, and the Cottesmore marches with it on the south. There is nothing to show when the boundaries of the Old Burton and the Belvoir were fixed, and no change seems to have taken place since the earliest records. Grantham, in the centre of the hunt, and Sleaford, on the Blankney borders, are the best Lincolnshire hunting centres for followers of the Belvoir.
The best country on the Lincolnshire side lies round Folkingham, where there is a wide extent of grass and two capital gorse coverts—Folkingham Gorse and Heathcote's Gorse; the Sapperton and Newton Woods also always hold stout foxes. There are some large woods on the southern part of the Lincolnshire country. Aswarby, Culverthorpe, Dembleby Thorns, Haydor Southards, and Rauceby, are the best coverts in the north. Round Stubton Gorse, the starting point of many a good gallop, there is another fine stretch of country.
Perhaps the best run recorded on the Lincolnshire side was that from Ancaster Gorse on 15 December, 1865, hounds going by Ingoldsby and Laughton to below Dunsby and thence to the Forty Foot Drain at Hacconby, where they killed their fox.
Among the prominent followers and fox-preservers on the Lincolnshire side are the Whichcotes of Aswarby, Mr. J. E. Welby of Allington Hall, the Gregorys of Denton, the Reeves of Leadenham, the Fanes of Fulbeck, the Nevilles of Stubton, the Turnors of Stoke Rochford, Heathcotes, Tollemaches, Thorolds of Syston, Brownlows of Belton, and the Parkers, Hutchinsons, and Hornsbys of Grantham. Mr. Hardy, the Grantham banker, was one of those who invariably got to the end of the best run; and Mr. J. Litchford of Boothby Hall, a squire of the old school and somewhat of a character, was a great authority on hunting; his knowledge of woodland hunting was exceptional. Colonel Reeve of Leadenham and the Rev. T. Heathcote of Lenton were very prominent men in their day, and Mr. Bemrose and Mr. T. Casswell were hard-riding farmers. The most noted of the Belvoir parsons was the Rev. J. Houson, rector of Brant Broughton and Great Coates. When in his seventy-fourth year he had the best of a forty minutes' run from Folkingham Gorse to Aslackby Wood, and Major Longstaffe (in his time a very good man with hounds) says at eighty years of age he could lead the Belvoir field.
# The Victorian Age in Literature/Bibliographical Note
### BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

After having surveyed the immense field presented in such a volume as Mr. George Mair's Modern English Literature in this series, or, more fully, in the Cambridge History of Modern Literature, the later volume of Chambers' English Literature, Mr. Gosse's History of Modern English Literature, or Henry Morley's English Literature in the Reign of Victoria, the wise reader will choose some portion for closer study, and will go straight to the originals before he has any further traffic with critics or commentators, however able.
He will then need the aid of fuller biographies. Some Victorian Lives are already classic, or nearly so, among them Sir G. Trevelyan's Macaulay, Forster's Dickens, Mrs. Gaskell's Charlotte Brontë, Froude's Carlyle, and Sir E. T. Cook's Ruskin. With these may be ranged the great Dictionary of National Biography. The "English Men of Letters" Series includes H. D. Traill's Coleridge, Ainger's Lamb, Trollope's Thackeray, Leslie Stephen's George Eliot, Herbert Paul's Matthew Arnold, Sir A. Lyall's Tennyson, G. K. Chesterton's Robert Browning, and A. C. Benson's Fitzgerald. At least two autobiographies must be named, those of Herbert Spencer and John Stuart Mill, and, as antidote to Newman's Apologia, the gay self-revelations of Borrow, and Jefferies' Story of My Heart. Other considerable volumes are W. J. Cross's George Eliot, Lionel Johnson's Art of Thomas Hardy, Mr. W. M. Rossetti's Dante G. Rossetti, Colvin's R. L. Stevenson, J. W. Mackail's William Morris, Holman Hunt's Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Sir Leslie Stephen's The Utilitarians, Buxton Forman's Our Living Poets, Edward Thomas's Swinburne, Monypenny's Disraeli, Dawson's Victorian Novelists, and Stedman's Victorian Poets. The "Everyman" Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature is useful for dates.
The latter half of the second volume of Mr. F. A. Mumby's Letters of Literary Men is devoted to the Victorian Age. There are fuller collections of the Letters of Leigh Hunt, Thackeray, Dickens, the Brownings, Fitzgerald, Charles Kingsley, Matthew Arnold, and more recently the Letters of George Meredith, edited by his son.
Among the important critical writers of the period, Matthew Arnold (Essays in Criticism, Study of Celtic Literature, etc.) stands easily first. Others are John, now Lord, Morley (Studies in Literature, etc.), Augustine Birrell (Obiter Dicta, Essays), W. E. Henley (Views and Reviews), J. Addington Symonds (Essays), J. Churton Collins, Richard Garnett, Stopford A. Brooke, George E. B. Saintsbury (History of Criticism), R. H. Hutton (Contemporary Thought), J. M. Robertson (Modern Humanists, Buckle, etc.), Frederic Harrison (The Choice of Books, etc.), Andrew Lang, Walter Bagehot, Edmund Gosse, Prof. Dowden, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Sir A. T. Quiller Couch.

United States Supreme Court
14 U.S. 112
The Venus
APPEAL from the decree of the circuit court for the district of Georgia. This ship having taken in a cargo at London, proceeded to Portsmouth, and from thence, on the 12th of April, 1814, sailed for St. Bartholomews, under convoy of a British ship of war. From St. Bartholomews she sailed for the Havannah, but on her passage thither was captured and sent into the island of St. Thomas, for adjudication, by a British cruiser. Upon being released from this detention, she abandoned her destination for the Havannah, and was proceeding to Amelia Island, when she was captured by the flotilla under the command of commodore Campbell, and sent into the port of Savannah, where the vessel and cargo were libelled as prize. The ship was restored by consent, in the court below, as Russian property; the cargo was condemned as prize of war, and an appeal entered from that sentence by the claimant. The proofs of property consisted, 1. Of a recital in a power of attorney, from one Jones, the alleged agent, in London, of the claimant, (who was stated to be a Russian merchant domiciled at St. Petersburgh,) to Mr. Diamond, the supercargo. 2. A certificate of property from the Russian Consul General in London. 3. The testimony of Mr. Diamond, and other witnesses, taken in preparatorio, expressing their belief that the property was as claimed.
Charleton, for the appellant and claimant, offered to read affidavits in the nature of farther proof.

# The Venus/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
Until the cause is heard, farther proof cannot be admitted.
MARSHALL, Ch. J.
If, upon the opening, it appears to be a case for farther proof, then it may be admitted instanter, unless, indeed, the court should be of the opinion that the captors ought to be allowed to produce farther proof also. The cause is before us as if in the inferior court.
Charleton. We contend that it is a case entitled to farther proof, and that there is no circumstance of fraud or mala fides to preclude it.
The Attorney General, contra. It is incumbent upon the claimant to make out his title by competent testimony, according to the rules of the prize court; and if the court should be of opinion, that the property does not belong as claimed, the captors will be entitled to condemnation, without specifically proving to whom it does belong.a The recital in the power from Jones to Diamond, cannot be sufficient to show the interest of Mr. Jademerowsky.
Pinkney, in reply, agreed that, in a suspicious case, restitution could not be demanded upon the original evidence; but, this is a case of farther proof, and there is no evidence of fraud, or unneutral conduct, to preclude it. The documentary evidence expresses neutral account and risk. By the law of nations, the papers must be supported by the examinations in preparatorio; but, there is no determination which warrants the position, that the supercargo must swear to any thing more than belief. He is, in this respect, in the same predicament with the master. In both cases, it is matter, not of positive knowledge, but of inference from the circumstances which come to his knowledge. The consular certificate is a part of the ship's papers, and, as such, is necessarily a part of the documentary evidence in the cause. The recital of the procuration is said not to be admissible at common law; but, this court is now sitting as a court of prize.
March 2d.
The cause was this day ordered to farther proof, on the part of the captors and claimants.
Farther proof ordered.

# The Venus Jademerowsky/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
When this case was first brought to the view of this Court, it was accompanied by some others, in which Russian claimants presented themselves under circumstances which satisfied this Court, that their claims were false and fraudulent. On comparing those cases with this, there was such a striking similitude in their machinery, that it was impossible not to suspect that they were all fashioned upon the same model, and adapted to the same end. With the St. Nicholasf and the Fortuna,g full in view, this Court could not adjudged the case of this vessel to be a case of restitution. Still, however, there was a possibility that those may have been the forged copies, and
Decree reversed.
DECREE. This cause came on to be heard on the transcript of the record of the Circuit Court for the district of Georgia, and on the farther proof exhibited in this cause, and was argued by counsel. On consideration whereof, it is DECREED and ORDERED, that the decree of the Circuit Court for the district of Georgia in this case, condemning the cargo of the ship Venus, be, and the same is, hereby reversed and annulled. And this Court, proceeding to pass such decree as the said Circuit Court should have passed, it is further DECREED and ORDERED, that the said cargo of the ship Venus be restored to the claimant; and it is further decreed, that the said claimant pay to the libellants the costs and expenses incurred in the prosecution of this suit.
