A Morning Hymn to Her Grace the Dutchess of Hamilton.
AWake bright Hamilton, arise, Goddess of Love, and of the Day, Awake, disclose thy charming Eyes, And show the Sun a brighter Ray: Phœbus in vain calls forth the blushing Morn, He but creates the Day, which you adorn.
The Lark, that wont with warbling Throat Early to salute the Skies, Or sleeps, or else suspends his Note, Disclaiming Day 'till you arise. Goddess awake, thy Beams display, Restore the Universe to Light, When Hamilton appears then dawns the Day, And when she disappears, begins the Night.
Lovers, who watchful vigils keep, (For Lovers never, never sleep!)
Wait for the rising of the Fair, To offer Songs and Hymns of Prayer, Like Persians to the Sun: Even Life and Death and Fate are there, For in the Rolls of ancient Destiny Long since 'twas noted down, The Dying shall revive, the Living die, But as you Smile, or Frown.
Awake bright Hamilton, arise, Goddess of Loye and of the Day, Awake, disclose thy charming Eyes, And show the Sun a brighter Ray: Phœbus in vain calls forth the blushing Morn; He but creates the Day, which you adorn.

A Character of Mr. Wycherly.
OF all our Modern Wits, none seems to me$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ Once to have touch'd upon true Comedy, But hasty Shadwell, and slow Wycherly. Shadwell's unfinish’d Works do yet impart Great Proofs of Nature's Force, tho' none of Art;
But Wycherly earns hard whate'er he gains, He wants no Judgment, and he spares no Pains. &c.
Ld. Rochester’s Poems.
This Character, however just in other Particulars, yet is injurious in one, Mr. Wycherly being represented as a laborious Writer, which every Man who has the least Personal Knowledge of him can contradict.
Those indeed who form their Judgment only from his Writings, may be apt to imagine so many admirable Reflections, such Diversity of images and Characters, such strict Enquiries into Nature, such close Observations on the several Humours, Manners, and Affections of all Ranks and Degrees of Men, and, as it were, so true and so perfect a Dissection of Humankind, deliver’d with so much pointed Wit and Force and Expression, could be no other than the Work of extraordinary Diligence and Application: Whereas others, who have the Happiness to be acquainted with the Author, as well as his Writings, are able to affirm these happy Performances were due to his infinite Genius and natural Penetration. We owe the Pleasure and Advantage of having been so well entertain’d and instructed by him, to his Facility of doing it: For, if I mistake him not extremely, had it been a Trouble to him to write, he would have spar’d himself that Trouble. What he has perform’d would indeed have been difficult for another; but the Club which a Man of ordinary Size could not lift, was but a Walking-staff for Hercules.
Mr. Wycherly, in his Writings, has been the sharpest Satyrist of his Time; but, in his Nature, he has all the Softness of the tenderest Dispositions: In his Writings he is Severe, Bold, Undertaking; in his Nature Gentle, Modest, Inoffensive: He makes use of his Satyr, as a Man truly brave of his Courage, only upon Publick Occasions, and for Publick Good: He compassionates the Wounds he is under a Necessity to probe, or, like a good-natur’d Conqueror, grieves at the Occasions that provoke him to make such Havock.
​There are who object to his Versification: But a Diamond is not less a Diamond for not being polish'd. Versification is in Poetry, what Colouring is in Painting, a beautiful Ornament; But if the Proportions are just, the Posture true, the Figure bold, and the Resemblance according to Nature, tho' the Colours should happen to be rough, or carelesly laid on, yet may the Piece be of inestimable Value: Whereas the finest and the nicest Colouring Art can invent, is but Labour in vain, where the rest is wanting. Our present Writers indeed, for the most part, seem to lay the whole Stress of their Endeavours up on the Harmony of Words; but then, like Eunuchs, they sacrifice their Manhood for a Voice, and reduce our Poetry to be like Echo, Nothing but Sound.

To the Immortal Memory of Mr. Waller, upon his Death.
ALIKE partaking of Celestial Fire, Poets and Heroes to Renown aspire, Till crown’d with Honour, and immortal Name,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ By Wit, or Valour, led to equal Fame, They mingle with the Gods, that breath’d the noble Flame: Homer shall last, like Alexander, long, As much recorded, and as often sung.
A Tree of Life is Sacred Poetry; Sweet is the Fruit, and tempting to the Eye. Many there are who nibble without Leave; But none, who are not born to Taste, survive. Waller shall never dye, of Life secure, As long as Fame or aged Time endure: Waller, the Muse’s Darling, free to taste Of all their Stores, the Master of the Feast;
Not like old Adam stinted in his Choice, But Lord of all the spacious Paradise.
Those Foes to Virtue, Fortune, and Mankind, Favouring his Fame, once to do Justice join’d; No carping Critick interrupts his Praise, No Rival strives, but for a second Place: No Want constrain’d, the Writer’s usual Fate, A Poet, with a plentiful Estate; The first of Mortals, who before the Tomb Struck that pernicious Monster, Envy, dumb; Malice and Pride, those Savages, disarm’d; Not Orpheus with such pow’rful Magick charm’d. Scarce in the Grave can we allow him more Than, Living, we agreed to give before.
His noble Muse employ’d her gen’rous Rage$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ In crowning Virtue, scorning to engage The Vice and Follies of an impious Age: No Satyr lurks within this Hallow’d Ground,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,$ But Nymphs and Heroin’s, Kings and Gods abound, Glory, and Arms, and Loves, is all the Sound: His Eden with no Serpent is defil’d, But all is gay, delicious all, and mild.
Mistaken Men his Muse of Flatt’ry blame, Adorning twice an impious Tyrant’s Name:
We raise our own, by giving Fame to Foes; The Valour that he prais'd he did oppose.
Nor were his Thoughts to Poetry confin'd, The State and Business shar'd his ample Mind; As all the Fair were Captives to his Wit, So Senates to his Counsels would submit: His Voice so soft, his Eloquence so strong, Like Cato's was his Speech, like Ovid's was his Song.
Our British Kings are rais'd above the Herse, Immortal made in his immortal Verse; No more are Mars and Jove Poetick Themes, But the Cælestial Charles and just James: Juno and Pallas, all the shining Race Of Heav'nly Beauties, to the Queen give Place; Clear like her Brow, and graceful was his Song, Great like her Mind, and like her Virtue strong.
Parent of Gods, who do'st to Gods remove, Where art thou plac'd, and which thy Seat above? Waller the God of Verse we will proclaim, Not Phœbus now, but Waller be his Name; Of joyful Bards the sweet Seraphick Quire Acknowledge thee, their Oracle and Sire; The Spheres do homage, and the Muses sing Waller the God of Verse, who was the King.

YOUR Comick Writer is a common Foe: None can intrigue in Peace, or be a Beau, Nor wanton Wife nor Widow can be sped, Not even Russel can inter the Dead, But strait this Censor, in his Whym of Wit, Strips, and presents you naked to the Pit. Thus Criticks shou'd, like these, be branded Foes, Who for the Poison only suck the Rose,
Rejecting what is sweet, like Vultures they Feed only on the Carrion of a Play, Snarling and carping without Wit or Sense, Impeach Mistakes, o'erlooking Excellence, As if to ev'ry Fop it might belong Like Senators to censure, right or wrong. But generous Wits have more heroick Views, And Love and Honour are the Themes they chuse. From yon bright Heav'n our Author fetch'd his Fire, And paints the Passions that your Eyes inspire; Full of that Flame, his tender Scenes he warms, And frames his Goddess by your matchless Charms.

Written under the Dutchess of Bolton's Name upon a Drinking-Glass.
LOVE's keenest Darts are charming Bolton's Care, Which the bright Goddess poisons with Despair; The God of Wine the dire Effect foresees, And sends the Juice that gives the Lover Ease.

English'd, and apply'd to the Queen.
NEXT to the Thunderer let ANNA stand, In Piety Supream, as in Command,
Fam'd for Victorious Arms and Generous Aid, Young Austria's Refuge, and fierce Bourbon's Dread: Titanian Leagues in vain shall brave the Rhine, When to the Eagle YOU the Thunder join.

# Posthumous Memoirs of Talaat Pasha/Germany forces the Issue

Day by day our position became more and more difficult. The addition of the German naval mission to the German military organization, the increasing number of German officers and crews, and their ever-growing influence in Constantinople rendered the situation very critical. Just at this moment the incident of the Black Sea occurred. The German Admiral Sushon, taking some of the strongest ships of the Turkish fleet, went out on the Black Sea, attacked the Russian fleet and bombarded some of the Russian ports. Contrary to the general belief, this incident had not taken place with the knowledge of the Porte. During the war I did not deny the rumor that it had; but now that the war is over, and I am not in power, I most emphatically declare that I learned, as everybody did, of this regretful incident just after it happened, and that no one of the Cabinet members gave his consent to this sudden attack on the Russian fleet. This incident caused the Porte real anxiety. All the members of the Cabinet were angry. Some of them, such as Mahmoud Pasha Churuk-soulou, Minister of Public Works; Mr. Suleiman Elbustany, Minister of Agriculture; Mr. Oskan, Minister of Posts and the only Armenian member of the Cabinet, resigned as a protest, and Djavid Bey, Minister of Finance, threatened to resign if the incident was not closed amicably in a short time. Even Said Halim Pasha, the Prime Minister, consented to keep his place for only one session of the Cabinet, in which we were to discuss the matter at length, and to reach a final decision. This incident had created great surprise and excitement, not only in political circles, but among the people as well, who followed with enthusiasm the German victories at the front. The situation had become exceedingly critical. We had to decide whether to admit this incident as an accomplished fact and to side with Germany, or to apologize for the sudden attack of the German Admiral and try to close the incident peacefully. We immediately convoked an extra session of the Cabinet at the home of Said Halim Pasha. At the end of a long and animated discussion, we authorized Said Halim Pasha, the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, to see the allied representatives, particularly the Russian Ambassador, and to try to settle the matter peacefully. At the same time Djavid Bey, who was known as pro-ally, was to see Mr. Bompar, the French Ambasador at Constantinople, and to ask his help.
# Posthumous Memoirs of Talaat Pasha/Trying to avoid war

Some months later we were facing the World War. Our position was exceedingly delicate. By the alliance recently concluded, we were engaged on the side of one of the combatants. The German and Austrian Ambassadors visited us every day, insisting upon our immediate entry into the war on their side. Every day we were pressed to answer such questions as these: " When will you join us? When will you show your good will by fulfilling the terms of your agreement ? " &c. The answer to these questions was simple. We could have said: " Italy, although one of the allied members, has not yet joined the Central Powers ; though the neutrality of Belgium has been assured by international treaties, Germany herself has not respected her own signature." But such an answer would have been equivalent to the denial of the alliance, which we had sought so anxiously and esteemed so highly. Moreover, such an attitude would have shown the world our faithlessness to our agreement, and would have ended the confidence of the civilized world in our word. Consequently we preferred to make a more diplomatic reply to the Germans' insistence. We told them that Turkey was faithful to her word; that she would gladly act as soon as necessity showed the need of her help; that as Russia was the most inveterate and menacing enemy of Turkey, it was not only a moral obligation for Turkey to ally herself with Germany in the war, but a necessity proved by historical facts; that it was useless and even dangerous, both for Turkey and for her allies, for us to join the Central Powers without knowing what would be the attitude of Bulgaria, who by various pacts was closely tied to Russia. " After the Balkan War," we further explained, " our European frontier was modified in such a way that Constantinople was rendered defenseless before a serious attack of the Bulgarian Army. If Bulgaria joins the Allies against Turkey, our capital will be exposed to a danger which neither Germany nor the Turkish Army can prevent. Therefore, it will be an unsafe adventure for Turkey to enter the war, unless Bulgaria decisively defines her position. It is possible to win the help of Bulgaria, as there is a hostile feeling among the Bulgarians against Serbia. If Germany can induce Bulgaria to go against the Serbs, Turkey will be glad to fulfill her engagement." This ambiguous and yet apparently logical and skillfully prepared answer saved our position for a long time. Delaying our entry into the war, we could follow the military operations at the fronts and the political changes which occurred in Europe and in the Balkans.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY.
The publication, by an American author, of another new work devoted exclusively to physiological chemistry gives evidence of the increasing recognition which this branch of science is receiving in this country. The 'Text-book of Physiological Chemistry,' by Dr. Charles E. Simon,' of Baltimore, is a satisfactory addition to the few really valuable books on this subject in English. Resembling in many details of treatment the widely known volume by Hammarsten, Simon's new treatise shows the same features of presentation which have made the author's work on Clinical Diagnosis so favorably received. In somewhat over 400 pages the chief facts and important methods of physiological chemistry are offered in the light of the recent advances, the purely chemical aspects being emphasized.—A new English translation (470 pp.) of Bunge's 'Text-book of Physiological and Pathological Chemistry' is announced by American publishers. The new edition of this work which has lately appeared in German as the second volume of Bunge's new 'Lehrbuch der Physiologie' shows the same unique peculiarities of style which make his publications so readable. Bunge's views on many topics seem, however, somewhat extreme; they frequently attract attention from the unusual standpoints assumed, rather than from any indication of broad and progressive familiarity with the literature of the subject.—The 'Lectures on Chemical Pathology' by Dr. C. A. Herter, of New York, forms one of the most suggestive and interesting publications of the year. They point out the importance of chemical considerations in the study of both physiological and pathological processes, and abound in illustrations drawn from an extensive acquaintance with clinical and experimental data. The medical practitioner who has lately been hearing about physical factors in therapeutics will find in Dr. Herter's chemical treatment much that is new and stimulating. The distinctive scientific attitude of the author is everywhere apparent.—Oppenheimer's 'Die Fermente und ihre Wirkungen,' which appeared two years ago, is now available in English form under the title 'Ferments and their Actions.' The extensive references to the literature make it helpful to the physiological chemist. Dr. Effront's work on enzymes has also been translated (in part) from the French by Dr. Prescott, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.—In the book of 290 pages on 'Les fonctions hépatiques,' Gilbert and Carnot have reviewed the physiology of the liver in its various aspects. Like Hédon's publication on the pancreas, it indicates a return to the monograph form of presenting the details of physiological research.

### Chapter XV: On immediate negative propositions

    Yet demonstration is possible in the other figures, and if of a negative character is as valid in the second figure as in the first.
Just as the quality A may inhere in B without the intervention of a middle term, so it may not inhere without such intervention. By these expressions I mean that there is no middle term connecting A and B. In that case inherence and non-inherence will no longer depend on the presence of a third term. When then either A or B, or both, are true of the whole of a third term, it is impossible that A should not be true of B immediately. We may suppose all C to be A. Then if all C is not B (for it is possible that all of a subject should be A, but none of it B) the conclusion will follow that B is not A. For if all A is C, and no B is C, then no B is A.
The same proof will be adopted if both terms are distributively predicable of a third. That B need not be predicable of a subject of which A is distributively predicable, and conversely that A need not be predicable of a third term of which B is distributively predicable may be seen clearly from a consideration of those series of terms wherein no term of the one series can be interchanged with one in the other series. Thus if none of the terms in the series A, C, D are predicable of any in the series B, E, F; if further A is distributively predicable of G, a term belonging to the same series, then it is clear that no G will be B, for otherwise these distinct series would have interchangeable terms. So too if B is distributively predicable of some other subject. If, however, neither A nor B is distributively predicable of any third term, and if A is not predicable of B, A must be not predicable of B immediately. This is so because if any middle term were present, one of the two terms named would have to be distributively predicable of a third term, since the syllogism must be either in the first or the second figure. Now if it be in the first, B will be distributively predicable of a third term, for in this case the premise must be affirmative; if it be in the second A or B may be distributively predicable of a third term, for when either premise is of a negative character a conclusion may be attained, though this is impossible when both premises are negative.
It is plain therefore that one term may be proved to be deniable of another immediately, and we have now shewn when and how this may happen.

### Chapter XIV: The figure proper to Demonstrate Syllogism

    The first figure of the syllogism is the most scientific, being the most suitable for the attainment of the cause. Further it alone can examine into the simple fact which must be both affirmative and universal. The other two figures reinforce their demonstrations by an appeal to the first figure, the latter never makes use of them.
Of the figures of the syllogism the most proper for scientific demonstration is the first, for mathematical sciences, such as arithmetic, geometry and optics, and generally speaking all sciences which investigate the cause of things, effect their demonstration by its means. The demonstration of the cause is in fact carried out either exclusively or generally and in most cases by means of this figure, so that in this respect also it appears to be the most proper for science, seeing that the examination of the cause is the most important element in knowing. Further, the knowledge of what a thing is can only be attained by means of this figure, for in the second figure no affirmative conclusion is produced, and the knowledge of what a thing is involves affirmation. In the third figure there are indeed affirmative conclusions, but not universal ones, and the knowledge of what a thing is is of the character of a universal; thus, ‘two-footed’ is true of man universally and without restriction. Moreover the first figure has no need of the assistance of the two other figures, while these latter are strengthened and extended by means of the first until they arrive at ultimate principles. It is clear then that the first figure is the most important instrument of scientific knowledge.

### Chapter XVIII: On ignorance as resulting from defective sense perception

    Ignorance is the result of a defect in sense. Universals can only be attained by the help of Induction. Induction however depends on Sensation, the objects of which are particulars, of which no science is possible. Consequently Induction is necessary for the conversion of Sensation into Scientific knowledge.
It is also clear that if some branch of our perceptive faculties prove deficient the corresponding branch of science, which cannot be attained without those faculties, must fail also; that is to say if it be agreed that we must acquire knowledge either through induction or demonstration. Now although demonstration proceeds from universals and induction from particulars, it is impossible to attain to the knowledge of universals except by means of induction. Even the matter of the abstract sciences may be established through induction, since some qualities belong peculiarly to each class of thing and make them what they are, even though these qualities are not really separable from the things themselves. Induction without the power of perception is impossible, for perception is concerned with particulars, which cannot be grasped at all by means of science. The reason of this is that we cannot attain to universals without induction, nor use induction without sense perception.
