# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Scratches

Edition of 1802.
​SCRATCHES, a distemper in the heels of horses.
Under the article Grease (vol. ii. p. 400), we have already stated the method which is generally pursued in the treatment of this disorder: we shall therefore only observe, by way of supplement, that if the scratches prove obstinate, and the sores be deep, the following healing ointment may with advantage be applied:—Take of Venice turpentine 4 oz.; quicksilver 1 oz.; incorporate them properly, and then add honey and mutton suet, of each 2 ounces; anoint the diseased parts once or twice a day; and, if the animal be of a full or gross habit, bleeding and purging, together with proper alteratives, must be resorted to; in order to correct a vitiated state of the blood. Should, however, any cavities be formed in the horse's heels, they must first be laid open; as it is absolutely necessary to apply the dressing to the bottom, in order to effect a radical cure.

"In 1887, Warsaw was under the thumb of the Russian empire. In that year, an obscure Polish eye-doctor, Ludovic Lazarus Zamenhof, published identical pamphlets in Russian, Polish, French, and German, proposing Esperanto the easy-to-learn neutral second language for every country. Today, Esperanto is alive and well around the world, and throughout the Internet. This is the 1889 English version of that “First Book” where it all began, reprinted for a new millennium.
“My whole grammar can be learned perfectly in one hour.” —Zamenhof

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Shark

Edition of 1802.
​SHARK, or Squalus, L. genus of fish, comprehending 32 species, of which the following are the most remarkable:
1. The Canicula, Spotted Shark, or Dog-fish, inhabits almost every sea, and grows to the length of 4 feet: it attains a considerable age, is extremely voracious, and chiefly subsists on fishes. The skin of this species is beautifully spotted, like that of a leopard; when stripped off, it is manufactured into Shagreen, and is likewise employed in a dry state, for polishing wood, and for other purposes.
2. The maximus, Basking Shark, or Sun-fish, abounds in the Irish Channel, and on the Western Coast of Scotland. It is of a prodigious size, measuring sometimes 27 feet and upwards in length: it has been observed to derive great pleasure from basking on the surface of the ocean, during the heat of the day. Its liver is valuable, on account of the great quantity of oil which it contains: those of the larger kind yielding, upon an average, eight barrels each. The catching of the basking shark, and melting down its liver, afford employment to many industrious families:—the oil thus procured, is not only pure, sweet, and fit for lamps, but is also much used externally for relieving bruises, burns, and rheumatic pains.
3. The Carcharias, Great White Shark, or Requin, is the most formidable and destructive enemy of the mariner. It sometimes infests the British seas, but generally those of hot climates, where it grows to the length of 30 feet, and weighs from 3 to 4000 lbs. According to Funke, however, its weight occasionally amounts to 10,000 lbs. and the fish measures ten feet in circumference. An entire horse has been found in the stomach of this monster. And as it is probable, from the large teeth (glossopetræ) sometimes dug out ot the earth, that the requin, in former ages, must have been a still more bulky creature, naturalists have conjectured that such a fish, and not a whale, swallowed Jonah. The Great White Shark is particularly dangerous to swimmers, who have often lost one or more of their limbs, and not unfrequently been devoured entire. This fish is principally valued for its oil; as its flesh, ​though eaten in Norway and Iceland, is extremely rank and coarse.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Shoulder

Edition of 1802.
​SHOULDER, is the joint which connects the arm with the body. The principal affection of this limb is luxation, or dislocation (see vol. iii. p. 136), when the head of the upper arm-bone is forced from its socket. Such injury may be discovered by the swelling of the part; the inability to raise the arm; and violent pain attending the attempt: farther, the dislocated arm will be of a different length from the other; the head of the bone may be felt to be displaced from its natural situation; and a vacuity be perceived under the anterior part of the shoulder-blade.
In treating this complaint, the principal object will be to reduce the dislocated limb, with the greatest possible ease and expedition; in order to prevent a watery-swelling, which is apt to arise in neglected cases of long standing. Various means have been devised for restoring the joint to its former position; such as suspending the patient by the luxated arm over the step of a ladder, or the top of a door; and which have, in many instances, been attended with success, by the sudden jerk thus produced: but, by either of these expedients, the soft parts are liable to be lacerated, and the head of the bone to be fractured.
A more eligible method, therefore, is the following: after the patient is seated on a chair, his body must be secured by a strong belt passed around it, and held by assistants. The elbow should be bent, in order to relax the muscles. A firm leather bandage, from four to five inches broad, with strong straps, is next to be tied round the arm, immediately above the elbow; when the arm should be gradually extended by assistants, pulling these straps, while another person withdraws the shoulder-blade. The extension and counter-extension must be regulated by the situation of the head of the bone. As soon as the latter has passed the margin of the socket, it will be returned to its place by the action of the muscles; an effect which is indicated by a loud crack. If, however, violent inflammatory symptoms should ensue after the operation, recourse must be had to fomentations with Arquebusade or Goulard-water, and the application of leeches.—At all events, the arm ought to be retained for some time in a state of rest, by a proper bandage, till it acquire its former vigour; especially if a new dislocation of the joint be apprehended. To obviate such an accident, blisters, frictions, and stimulants, applied to the shoulders, have frequently proved beneficial.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Shrub, a Liquor

Edition of 1802.
​SHRUB, a compound liquor, made of ardent spirits, orange-juice, and sugar.
Though we do not profess to be acquainted with the exact proportion of the ingredients employed by shrub-drinkers, yet it appears that one pint of the best coniac brandy requires to be diluted with the expressed and filtred juice of four or six China oranges, and half a pound of refined sugar.—Thus, a very palatable, but seductive liquor is produced; the effects of which, if frequently resorted to, cannot fail of undermining the constitution of its votaries.—Having, on former occasions, explained the injurious consequences to be apprehended from the liberal use of Arrack, Brandy, Gin, and Rum, we shall, at present, only remark, that shrub is incomparably more tempting and insinuating, especially to weak females, than any of the simple spirits; because, in combination with sweet ingredients, this liquor imperceptibly stimulates, and gradually impairs the digestive organs, while it deprives such persons of that share of tottering health, which they vainly hoped to support.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Shallot

Edition of 1802.
​Shallot. See Eschallot.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Shrimp

Edition of 1802.
​SHRIMP, the Larger, or Cancer crangon, L. a diminutive shell-fish, provided with long slender feelers, and several claws, to which moveable fangs are attached: it has three pair of legs, and seven joints in its tail.
There is another kind of shrimp (squilla), which, in its external characters, nearly resembles that before described; though it is not above half the size of the former.—This species frequents the coast of Kent, and is sold in the metropolis, under the name of the White Shrimp.
As an article of food, shrimps are esteemed an agreeable repast, and are more easily digested than the larger kinds of shell-fish, such ​as crabs, lobsters, &c. Hence, the former are frequently used, as an ingredient in sauces; and also eaten by epicures, with a view to impart additional relish to wine and rich ale.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Shaving

Edition of 1802.
​SHAVING is the act of removing the hair from the beard, by means of a razor.
This operation greatly contributes to cleanliness; and though, from peculiar circumstances, a person be prevented from performing it regularly, yet the chin ought to be shaved every second day, or at least twice in the week, both to avoid the slovenly appearance, and the uncomfortable sensation, which such neglect necessarily occasions. For this purpose, the face ought to be previously washed with tepid water, and a thick lather laid on, with a proper brush. The part of the skin, from which the hair is to be cleared, should then be gently stretched with the fingers of the left hand, while the razor is applied in a flat position, and with a considerable degree of pressure forwards: being at the same time drawn obliquely downwards.
After the operation, the face ought to be washed with cold water, and the instrument wiped perfectly dry, either on a cloth or soft leather. For the proper management of Razors, previously to shaving, the reader will consult that article in its alphabetical series.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Shave-grass

Edition of 1802.
​Shave-grass. See Horse-tail, the Rough.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Shawl

Edition of 1802.
​SHAWL, a species of fine woollen handkerchief, which forms a principal article of female luxury.
The finest shawls are imported from the East Indies, where they are highly esteemed, and cost from fifty to two hundred guineas each. As these, however, are too expensive for general use, Mr. John Philip Knights, an ingenious manufacturer of Norwich, has invented a method of making shawls, which are nearly equal in beauty, but far superior in point of durability, to the former; for which, in 1792, the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, &c. conferred on him their silver medal. The shawls of Mr. K.'s manufacture (Transactions, &c. vol. x.) cannot be easily distinguished from those of India; though they are sold at one-twentieth part of the price; and we conceive it our duty to state, that, if the handkerchiefs be 16 quarters square, and embroidered, they may be retailed at 20l.; or, if plain, at 8l. 8s.; if they contain 12 quarters, and be embroidered, their price is 15l.; but, without such ornament, they cost only six guineas. Mr. Knights also makes elegant counterpanes, four yards square; and which, he affirms to be equal to those of India, sold at 200l. each:—the principal demand for such goods, however, consists in train-dresses for ladies, and long scarfs, in imitation of the Indian: and, though the foreign articles of this description cost from 60l. to 80l. those manufactured at Norwich are sold for as many shillings.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Shrub, in Botany

Edition of 1802.
​SHRUB, in botany, a term denoting a low tree, of a diminutive size; or, a plant abounding with branches; and, instead of one single trunk, shooting forth several sets or stems from the parent-root. Such are the honey-suckle, holly, furze, &c.
The most hardy, indigenous shrubs, are the Box, and Ivy, which resist the severest winters, without receiving the least injury; while many other vegetables decay, in consequence of intense frost. Next, in point of hardiness, are the Holly, Juniper, and Furze; but there are, besides, numerous ornamental shrubs, well calculated to diversity parks, lawns, &c.
Having already given a list of the most useful shrubs, under the article Plantation; and likewise stated the most advantageous methods of cultivating them, under the heads of Cuttings, Layers, Planting, &c. we refer the reader to those respective subjects.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Singing-birds

Edition of 1802.
​Singing-birds are principally the nightingale, black-bird, thrush, starling, linnet, lark, red-breast, Canary-bird, bull-finch, and gold-finch. Their first note is termed chirp, which is repeated at short intervals: the second is denominated call, being a repetition of the same note, and the third sound is termed recording, which a young bird will do for nearly a twelve-month, and when perfect in his lesson, he is said to sing his song round. Their notes are not more natural to birds, than language is to man; and they all sing in the same key.
# Drowned Gold

   [Drowned Gold] includes a singular search for treasure-trove in the form of gold lying in the hold of a vessel sunk by a submarine in the great war. It is carried out by a converted submarine with marvelous lights and attachments, invented by a friend of the young American captain whose life story and adventures form the main story. The narrative and dialogue would stand compression a little, but plot and incident are notably good. —The Outlook, 12 Nov. 1919. [Full review(s) in the discussion page]

# Elizabeth (Poe)

Elizabeth, it surely is most fit
[Logic and common usage so commanding]
In thy own book that first thy name be writ,
Zeno and other sages notwithstanding;
And I have other reasons for so doing
Besides my innate love of contradiction;
Each poet - if a poet - in pursuing
The muses thro' their bowers of Truth or Fiction,
Has studied very little of his part,
Read nothing, written less - in short 's a fool
Endued with neither soul, nor sense, nor art,
Being ignorant of one important rule,
Employed in even the theses of the school-
Called - I forget the heathenish Greek name
[Called anything, its meaning is the same]
"Always write first things uppermost in the heart."

# Elizabeth Barrett Browning (Ingram, 5th ed.)/Chapter 10

GRATEFUL FLORENCE.
Mrs. Browning died at half-past four in the morning of June 29th, 1861, in the fifty-third year of her age. She died of congestion of the lungs; and from the shattered condition of her lungs the physicians asserted that her existence could not have been prolonged, in any circumstance, many months.
From the grief of those dearest to her the veil may not be rudely torn. Suffice to say that on the evening of July 1st all that remained of England's great poetess was reverently borne to the lovely little Protestant cemetery, looking out towards Fiesole. The bier was surrounded by a sympathetic band of English, Americans, and Italians, whose intense sorrow dared hardly display itself in presence of the holy grief of the husband and the son of her whom they had loved so well.
There, amid the dust of illustrious fellow poets, and where tall cypresses wave over the graves, and the beautiful hills keep guard around, rises a stately marble cenotaph, designed by Sir Frederick Leighton, to the memory of the authoress of Aurora Leigh. Owing, however, to the removal of the old city walls ​of Florence, the Protestant cemetery is now included within the city limits, and further interments there are forbidden by law; but the place is preserved by the municipality.
As long as the language she wrote in lives, the memory of Elizabeth Barrett Browning will exist; but it is pleasant to know that the people among whom she lived and laboured during the latter years of her life, and whom she loved so well, were not forgetful of her. Upon Casa Guidi the municipality of Florence placed a white marble slab, and thereon, inscribed in letters of gold, are these words written by Tommaseo:—
qui scrisse e mori ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING, che in cuore di donna seppe unire saprenza de dotto, e facondia di poeta, fece del suo aureo verso, anello, fra Italia e Inghilterra. pose questa memoria firenze grata. a.d. 1861.
which may be thus rendered in English:—
here wrote and died ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING, who in her woman's heart united the wisdom of the sage and the eloquence of the poet; with her golden verse linking Italy to England. grateful florence placed this memorial. a.d. 1861.

Chapter III.
the clayton family and sister anne.
The family party which was now ushered in, consisted of Clayton's father, mother, and sister. Judge Clayton was a tall, dignified, elderly personage, in whom one recognized, at a glance, the gentleman of the old school. His hair, snowy white, formed a singular contrast with the brightness of his blue eyes, whose peculiar acuteness of glance might remind one of a falcon. There was something stately in the position of the head and the carriage of the figure, and a punctilious exactness in the whole air and manner, that gave one a slight impression of sternness. The clear, sharp blue of his eye seemed to be that of a calm and decided intellect, of a logical severity of thought; and contrasted with the silvery hair with that same expression of cold beauty that is given by the contrast of snow mountains cutting into the keen, metallic blue of an Alpine sky. One should apprehend much to fear from such a man's reason—little to hope from any outburst of his emotional nature. Yet, as a man, perhaps injustice was done to Judge Clayton by this first impression; for there was, deep beneath this external coldness, a severely-repressed nature, of the most fiery and passionate vehemence. His family affections were strong and tender, seldom manifested in words, but always by the most exact appreciation and consideration for all who came within his sphere. He was strictly and impartially just in all the little minutiae of social and domestic life, never hesitating to speak a truth, or acknowledge an error. ​Page:Dred, A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp Volume 1.djvu/37 ​Page:Dred, A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp Volume 1.djvu/38 ​Page:Dred, A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp Volume 1.djvu/39 ​Page:Dred, A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp Volume 1.djvu/40 ​Page:Dred, A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp Volume 1.djvu/41 ​Page:Dred, A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp Volume 1.djvu/42 ​Page:Dred, A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp Volume 1.djvu/43 ​Page:Dred, A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp Volume 1.djvu/44 ​Page:Dred, A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp Volume 1.djvu/45
