# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Drummond, Henry

​Drummond, Henry (1851-1897).—Theological and scientific writer, b. at Stirling, and ed. at Edin., he studied for the ministry of the Free Church. Having a decided scientific bent he gave himself specially to the study of geology, and made a scientific tour in the Rocky Mountains with Sir A. Geikie. Some years later he undertook a geological exploration of Lake Nyassa and the neighbouring country for the African Lakes Corporation, and brought home a valuable Report. He also pub. Tropical Africa, a vivid account of his travels. He became much associated with the American evangelist, D. L. Moody, and became an extremely effective speaker on religious subjects, devoting himself specially to young men. His chief contribution to literature was his Natural Law in the Spiritual World, which had extraordinary popularity. The Ascent of Man was less successful. D. was a man of great personal fascination, and wrote in an interesting and suggestive manner, but his reasoning in his scientific works was by no means unassailable.

CHAPTER X.
Concerning Those who strove for Preferments at Rome.
§. 1.If we all applied ourselves as heartily to our proper Business, as the old Fellows at Rome do to their Schemes; perhaps we too might make some Proficiency. I know a Man older than I am, and who is now Superintendant of Provisions at Rome. When he past through this Place, on his Return from Exile, what an Account did he give me of his former Life! and how did he promise, that for the future, when he was got back, he would apply himself to nothing but how to spend the Remainder of his Days in Repose and Tranquillity. "For how few have I now remaining!"——You will not do it, said I. When you are once got within the Smell of Rome, you will forget all this: and, if you can but once gain Admittance to Court, ​you will go in, heartily rejoiced, and thank God. "If you ever find me, Epictetus, said he, putting one Foot into the Court, think of me whatever you please." Now, after all, how did he act? Before he entered the City, he was met by a Billet from Cæsar. On receiving it, he forgot all his former Resolutions; and has ever since been heaping up one Incumbrance upon another. I should be glad now, to have an Opportunity of putting him in mind of his Discourse upon the Road; and of saying, how much more clever a Prophet am I than you!
§ 2. What then do I say? that Man is made for an inactive Life? No, surely. "But why is not ours a Life of Activity?" For my own part, as soon as it is Day, I recollect a little what Things I am to read over again [with my Pupils], and then say to myself quickly, What is it to me how such a one reads? My chief Point is to get to sleep.
§3. But, indeed, what Likeness is there between the Actions of these [old Fellows at Rome] and ours? If you consider what it is they do, you will see. For about what are they employed the whole Day, but in calculating, contriving, consulting, about Provisions; about an Estate; or other Emoluments like these? Is there any Likeliness, then, between reading such a Petition from any one, as——"I intreat you to give me a Permission to export Corn;" and——"I intreat you to learn from Chrysippus, of what Nature the Administration of the World is, and what Place a reasonable Creature holds in it. Learn, too, what you yourself are; and wherein your Good and Evil consists." Are these Things at all alike? Do they require an equal Degree of ​Application? And is it as shameful to neglect the one as the other?
§ 4. Well, then, are we Preceptors the only idle Dreamers? No: but you young Men are so first, in a greater Degree. And so even we old Folks, when we see young ones trifling, are tempted to grow fond of trifling with them. Much more, then, if I was to see you active and diligent, I should be excited to join with you in serious Industry.
* ↑ Εσεται probably should be Εισιεσαι, and the French Translator seems to have followed, and made the same Conjecture.
* ↑ This Passage has a striking Resemblance to that in Scripture, where the Children of this World are said to be wiser in their Generation than the Children of Light.

CHAPTER XV.
What it is that Philosophy promises.
§. 1.When one consulted him, How he might persuade his Brother to forbear treating him ill: Philosophy, answered Epictetus, doth not promise to procure any thing external to Man; otherwise it would admit something beyond its proper Subject-matter. For the Subject-matter of a Carpenter is Wood; of a Statuary, Brass: and so, of the Art of Living, the Subject-matter is each Person's own Life.
What, then, is my Brother's?
That, again, belongs to his own Art [of Living]; but to your's is external: like an Estate, like Health, like reputation. Now Philosophy promises none of these. In every Circumstance I will preserve the governing Part conformable to Nature. Whose governing Part? His in whom I exist.
​But how, then, is my Brother to lay aside his Anger against me?
Bring him to me, and I will tell him; but I have nothing to say to you about his Anger.
§. 2. Well: but I still farther ask, How am I to keep myself in a State of Mind conformable to Nature, though he should not be reconciled to me?
No great Thing is brought to Perfection suddenly; when not so much as a Bunch of Grapes or a Fig is. If you tell me, that you would at this Minute have a Fig, I will answer you, that there must be Time. Let it first blossom, then bear Fruit, then ripen. Is then the Fruit of a Fig tree not brought to Perfection suddenly, and in one Hour; and would you possess the Fruit of the human Mind in so short a Time, and without Trouble? I tell you, expect no such thing.

CHAPTER XIII.
How every Thing may be performed acceptably to the Gods.
§. 1.When a Person inquired, How any one might eat acceptably to the Gods: if he eats with Justice, says Epictetus, and Gratitude; and fairly and temperately, and decently, must he not also eat acceptably to the Gods? And when you call for hot Water, and your Servant doth not hear you; or, if he doth, brings it only warm; or perhaps is not to be found at home; then, not to be angry, or burst with Passion: is not this acceptable to the Gods?
But how, then, can one bear such Things?
Wretch, will you not bear with your own Brother, who hath God for his Father, as being a Son from the same Stock, and of the same high Descent [with yourself]? But, if you chance to be placed in some superior Station, will you presently set yourself up for a Tyrant? Will you not remember what you are, and over whom you bear Rule? That they are by Nature your Relations, your Brothers; that they are the Offspring of God?
​But I have them by Right of Purchase, and not they me.
Do you see what it is you regard? That it is Earth and Mire, and these wretched Laws of dead Men; and that you do not regard those of the Gods.
* ↑ If I did despise the Cause of my Man Servant, or my Maid Servant, when they contended with me: what then shall I do when God riseth up? And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? Did not He who made me in the Womb, make him? And did not One fashion us in the Womb? Job xxxi, 13, 14, 15.

* Case Syllabus
* Per Curiam Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
396 U.S. 552
Alabama v. Finch
On Mitchell, as Attorney General of the United States, as defendants.
The alleged emergent nature of the claims for relief led the Court to give expedited consideration to the motion and proffered complaint and, having examined the complaint, we conclude it fails to state a claim against either of the defendants warranting the exercise of the original jurisdiction of this Court.
Accordingly, the motion for leave to file the said complaint is denied.

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Stubbs, William

Stubbs, William (1825-1901). -- Historian, s. of a solicitor, b. at Knaresborough, Yorkshire, and ed. there and at the Grammar School of Ripon, and Oxf. In 1848 he became a Fellow of Trinity Coll., and in the same year took orders and was appointed to the coll. living of Navestock in Essex, where he remained for 16 years, during which he began his historical researches, and pub. his earlier works. His first publication was Hymnale Secundum Usum Sarum. In 1858 appeared Registrum Sacrum Anglicanum, a calendar of English bishops from Augustine; and then followed ed. of several Chronicles in the Rolls Series. The learning and critical insight displayed in these works commanded the attention and admiration of historical scholars both at home and on the Continent. In 1862 he was appointed librarian of Lambeth Palace, and in 1866 Prof. of Modern History at Oxf. There he pub. in 1870 his Select Charters, and his chief work, The Constitutional History of England (3 vols., 1874-78), which at once became the standard authority on its subject. It deals with the period preceding that with which the great work of Hallam begins. In 1879 he was appointed a Canon of St. Paul's, and in 1884 Bishop of Chester, whence he was translated five years later to Oxf. As an active prelate he was necessarily largely withdrawn from his historical researches; but at Chester he ed. two vols. of William of Malmesbury. S. was greater as a historian than as a writer, but he brought to his work sound judgment, insight, accuracy, and impartiality. He was a member of the French and Prussian Academies, and had the Prussian Order "Pour le Mérite" conferred upon him. Since his death his prefaces to the Rolls Series have been pub. separately.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Stuart, Gilbert

Stuart, Gilbert (1742-1786). -- Historical writer, s. of George S., Prof. of Humanity (Latin) at Edin. Among his publications were An Historical Dissertation on the English Constitution (1768), Discourse on the Government and Laws of England (1772), A View of Society in Europe (1778), and a History of Scotland (1782). He was a man of extremely jealous and implacable temper, and made venomous attacks on the historical works of Robertson and Henry. His own writings, though well-written, are inaccurate.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Surrey, Henry Howard, Earl of

Surrey, Henry Howard, Earl of (1517?-1547). -- Poet, s. of Thomas H., 3rd Duke of Norfolk, was ed. by John Clerke, a learned and travelled scholar, and sec. to his f. He became attached to the Court, was cup-bearer to the King (Henry VIII.), ewerer at the Coronation, and Earl Marshall at the trial of Anne Boleyn. In 1542 he was made a Knight of the Garter a few weeks after the execution of his cousin, Queen Catherine Howard. He suffered imprisonment more than once for being implicated in quarrels and brawls, did a good deal of fighting in Scotland and France, and was the last victim of Henry's insensate jealousy, being beheaded on a frivolous charge of conspiring against the succession of Edward VI. The death of Henry saved Norfolk from the same fate. S. shares with Sir Thomas Wyatt (q.v.) the honour of being the true successor of Chaucer in English poetry, and he has the distinction of being, in his translation of the Æneid, the first to introduce blank verse, and, with Wyatt, the sonnet. The poems of S., though well known in courtly circles, were not pub. during his life; 40 of them appeared in Tottel's Miscellany in 1557. He also paraphrased part of Ecclesiastes and a few of the Psalms. The Geraldine of his sonnets was Elizabeth Fitzgerald, dau. of the Earl of Kildare, then a lonely child at Court, her f. being imprisoned in the Tower.
Other works: The soote season, Love, that doth reign and live within my thought, Alas! so all things now do hold their peace, Th'Assyrians' king, in peace with foul desire, So cruel prison how could betide, Wyatt resteth here, that quick could never rest, O happy dames, that may embrace, Martial, the things for to attain, The Fourth Book of Virgil

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Surtees, Robert Smith

Surtees, Robert Smith (1802-1864). -- Sporting novelist, a country gentleman of Durham, who was in business as a solicitor, but not succeeding, started in 1831 the Sporting Magazine. Subsequently he took to writing sporting novels, which were illustrated by John Leech. Among them are Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour, Ask Mamma, Plain or Ringlets, and Mr. Facey Romford's Hounds.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Sylvester, Joshua

​Sylvester, Joshua (1563-1618). Poet and translator, is chiefly remembered by his translation from the French of Du Bartas' Divine Weeks and Works, which is said to have influenced Milton and Shakespeare. He seconded the Counterblast against Tobacco of James I. with his Tobacco Battered and the Pipes Shattered ... by a Volley of Holy Shot Thundered from Mount Helicon (1620), and also wrote All not Gold that Glitters, Panthea: Divine Wishes and Meditations (1630), and many religious, complimentary, and other occasional pieces. S., who was originally engaged in commerce, acted later as a sort of factor to the Earl of Essex.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Stukeley, William

Stukeley, William (1687-1765). -- Antiquary, ed. at Camb., and after practising as a physician took orders in 1729 and held benefices at Stamford and in London. He made antiquarian tours through England, and was one of the founders of the Society of Antiquaries, to which he acted as sec. He pub. Itinerarium Curiosum (1724) and Stonehenge (1740). He made a special study of Druidism, and was called "the Arch-Druid."
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Suckling, Sir John

Suckling, Sir John (1609-1642). -- Poet, s. of a knight who had held office as Sec. of State and Comptroller of the Household to James I., was b. at Whitton, Middlesex, ed. at Camb., and thereafter went to Gray's Inn. On the death of his f. in 1627, he page 366inherited large estates. After travelling in France and Italy, he is said to have served for a short time under Gustavus Adolphus. On his return he was knighted, and went to Court, where his wealth, generosity, and wit made him a general favourite. When Charles I. was moving against the Scots S. fitted out a gorgeously appointed troop for his service which, however, were said to have fled at first sight of the Scots army at Duns, an exploit which is ridiculed in the ballad of Sir John Suckling's Campaign. He got into trouble in connection with a plot to rescue Strafford from the Tower, and fled to the Continent. He d. at Paris, it is now believed by his own hand. He was a noted gambler, and has the distinction of being the inventor of the game of cribbage. He wrote four plays, Aglaura (1637), Brennoralt (1646), The Goblins, and The Sad One (unfinished), now forgotten; his fame rests on his songs and ballads, including The Wedding, distinguished by a gay and sparkling wit, and a singular grace of expression.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Symonds, John Addington

​Symonds, john Addington (1840-1893).—Writer on art and literature, s. of a physician in Bristol, was ed. at Harrow and Oxf. His delicate health obliged him to live abroad. He pub. (1875-86) History of the Italian Renaissance, and translated the Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini. He also pub. some books of poetry including Many Moods (1878) and Animi Figura (1882), and among his other publications were Introduction to the Study of Dante (1872) Studies of the Greek Poets (1873 and 1876), Shakespeare's Predecessors in the English Drama (1884), and Lives of various poets, including Ben Jonson, Shelley, and Walt Whitman. He also made remarkable translations of the sonnets of Michelangelo and Campanella, and wrote upon philosophical subjects in various periodicals.

# Alice Ayres (Rawnsley)

Alice Ayres, On the stairs, Do you hear the horses come? God grant that we may see Your mantle falling free, When your soul is caught up home.
Aye, she hears, Has no fears, Tho' the flames are round her feet, She has set the window wide, To the crowd below has cried, Casts the mattress to the street.
One by one— Nobly done— Seeks the children through the smoke, Though the red flames break the door, Though the white fumes through the floor Curl, to stifle and to choke.
Seeks and brings On the wings Of her love so strong and brave All the children of her care, Drops them gently thro' the air To the hands outstretched to save.
"Alice! leap! We will keep Safe from harm!" the great crowd calls; Half in swoon, faint for breath, From a fiery doom, to death Shattered fearfully, she falls
Alice Ayres,
On the stairs, When the golden horses came, Your mantle fell so free, All the world was there to see Heaven's chariot-wheels of flame.
Somewhere still Work and will, Tried by fire can stand the test, Still we think in Red-Cross Hall, Of "our Alice," hear her call, "Die for others, do your best."
