​Cow-Parsley, or Cow-weed. See Chervil.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Cowslip

Edition of 1802.
​COWSLIP, the Common, or Paigle, or Cowslip-primrose, Primula veris, L. a native perennial plant, growing in meadows and pastures, on a loamy or clayey soil. It produces sweet-scented yellow-flowers, which appear in April, and are used for making cowslip-wine, or balsamic tea. Its roots have a fine odour, similar to that of anise; and give additional strength to ale or beer, when immersed in the cask. The leaves and flowers of this plant are excellent food for silk-worms, which are extremely fond of them; they are also eaten as a pot-herb, and in salads.—Cattle eagerly feed on the leaves.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Cow-wheat

Edition of 1802.
​COW-WHEAT, or Melampyrum, L. a genus of native, annual plants, comprising four species, of which the following are the principal:
1. The arvense, or Purple Cow-wheat, which grows in corn-fields, and is chiefly found in the county of Norfolk. It bears flowers of a yellow dusky purple, which blow in the month of July, and are succeeded by yellowish seeds. These, when ground with corn, impart a dusky, greyish cast, and a bitter flavour to the bread; but do not render it unwholesome. A decoction of the flower-spikes produces a tolerably durable blue colour, and, with the addition of the fixed vegetable alkali, a purplish red. Cronstedt, the Swedish mineralogist, obtained a fine blueish colour from the stalks alone; but none from the leaves and flowers.—The plant is eaten by cows and goats, but refused by sheep.
2. The pratense, or Common yellow Cow-wheat, which grows in woods and thickets, especially on clayey soils. Its blossoms are ​of a deep yellow colour, with white tubes, and appear in July or August. Hogs eagerly eat the seeds, but reject the plant, which is also refused by horses. It is, however, eaten by sheep and goats, and particularly by cows, which are extremely fond of it. Where this plant abounds, the butter is yellow, and uncommonly good.
3. The Sylvaticum, or Wood Cow-wheat, which is very rare, being found only in some woody, shady places, in the hilly parts of Scotland. Its blossoms are entirely yellow, and flourish from June to August; but have not the white tube of the preceding species, with which it is frequently confounded. It is eaten by cows, sheep, and goats: if it be given them in abundance, they will thrive remarkably, and soon grow fat.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Crab, in Fruit-trees

Edition of 1802.
​CRAB, in fruit-trees, a disease which attacks the bark, especially after transplanting them from the nursery: it destroys particularly the inner bark, by reducing it to a blackish powder, not unlike the smut in wheat.
Various conjectures have been formed, as to the origin of this formidable disorder, which is often very destructive, especially to apple and pear-trees; but none appears to us satisfactory. It is, however, very probable, that it arises from the inattention of gardeners, when transplanting young trees, so as to change their situation to a different point of the compass; for instance, by placing the northern side of the trunk towards the south; where the powerful rays of the sun parch, and in a manner burn, the tender bark. This supposition is confirmed by the circumstance, that the disease generally makes its first appearance on the south side of bark; though, we believe, it also frequently originates from external injuries done to the tree, such as blows, scratches, &c.
The most expeditious method of relieving a tree thus affected, is that of immediately cutting out the whole diseased part, with a very sharp gardener's knife, and not to leave the smallest trace of its discoloration on the trunk; for an imperfect excision is attended with inevitable ruin to the tree. As soon as the operation is performed, the wounded places must be carefully covered with a plaster, made of equal parts of fresh clay, garden-mould, and cow-dung; or with the medication mentioned in our first volume, p. 432, under the article Canker.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Crab-fish

Edition of 1802.
​CRAB-FISH, the Common, or Cancer-major, L. is a species of shell-fish, that inhabits our shores, and lurks or burrows under the sand: it is sold almost exclusively to the poorer class of people. As crabs, however, generally are in a state nearly approaching to putrefaction, before they arrive at the markets of inland towns, the eating of them is attended with considerable danger.
The claws of crabs form an article of the apothecaries shop. The tips or ends of them only are used; after being broken down ard well washed in boiling water, they are levigated, and yield a whitish powder, which is employed as an absorbent, especially where acidity abounds in the stomach and bowels. Formerly, this preparation was much employed in diarrhœas, and especially in the Heart-burn, to which we refer.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Cow-parsnip

Edition of 1802.
​COW-PARSNIP, or Hog-weed, the Heracleum, L. a native genus ​of plants, producing two species.
1. The Sphondylium, or Common Cow-parsnip, which is found in hedges, meadows and pastures. It is biennial, and bears whitish flowers, which blow in the month of July: its stalks grow from three to four feet high. In Poland and Lithuania, the peasants prepare a liquor from the leaves of this plant, which, after undergoing fermentation, is brewed, and drank instead of beer. As this beverage is perfectly harmless, it might with advantage be substituted for some kinds of ale, in which the most pernicious substances are infused, with a view to give it a head.—The inhabitants of Kamtschatka peel the roots, which afford a nutritious and wholesome food. An ardent spirit is also distilled by the Russians and Poles from the medullary substance of the stalks, and sometimes from the whole branches, which are first fermented in water with the great bilberries (see vol. i. p. 255), from which they obtain a liquor of considerable strength. It is more agreeable to the palate than the ardent spirits distilled from corn; though we must observe, on the authority of Dr. Böhmer, that it is a still more intoxicating and pernicious liquor than whisky.—Hogs, rabbits, and asses, are extremely fond of the leaves, which are also eaten by cows, goats, and sheep, but not relished by horses.
2. The Angustifolium, or Narrow-leaved Cow-parsnip, which is found in woods, and flowers in July. It has no peculiar properties.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1912 supplement/Gloag, William Ellis

​GLOAG, WILLIAM ELLIS, Lord Kincairney (1828–1909), Scottish judge, born at Perth on 7 Feb. 1828, was son of William Gloag, banker in Perth, by his wife Jessie, daughter of John Burn, writer to the Signet, Edinburgh. Educated at Perth grammar school and Edinburgh University, he passed on 25 Dec. 1853 to the Scottish bar, where he enjoyed a fair practice. A conservative in politics, he was not offered promotion till 1874, when he was appointed advocate depute on the formation of Disraeli's second ministry. In 1877 he became sheriff of Stirling and Dumbarton, and in 1885 of Perthshire. In 1889 he was raised to the bench, when he took the title of Lord Kincairney. His career as a judge proved eminently successful. He died at Kincairney on 8 Oct. 1909, and was buried at Caputh. In 1864 Gloag married Helen, daughter of James Burn, writer to the Signet, Edinburgh, by whom he had one son, William Murray Gloag, professor of law at Glasgow University, and three daughters. There is a portrait of him, by Sir George Reid, at Kincairney.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1912 supplement/Godfrey, Daniel

​GODFREY, DANIEL (1831 – 1903), bandmaster and composer, eldest of four sons of Charles Godfrey, bandmaster of the Coldstream guards for fifty years, was born at Westminster on 4 Sept. 1831. His eldest brother, George William Godfrey, was well known as a playwright. Daniel was educated at the Royal Academy of Music, where he subsequently became professor of military music and was elected a fellow. In his early days he was a flute player in Jullien's orchestra and at the Royal Italian Opera. In 1856, on the recommendation of Sir Michael Costa, he was, through the influence of the Prince Consort, appointed bandmaster of the Grenadier guards, and one of his first duties was to play into London the brigade of guards returning from the Crimea. In 1863 he composed his famous 'Guards' waltz for the ball given by the officers of the guards to King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, then Prince and Princess of Wales, on their marriage. This was followed by the 'Mabel' and 'Hilda' waltzes, which enjoyed universal popularity. During one of the visits of the guards band to Paris, Bizet, the composer of 'Carmen,' unconsciously caught the theme of one of them, and it figures in the finale to ​the first act of Bizot's 'Les Pêcheurs des Perles.' Godfrey mode a tour with his band in the United States in 1876 in celebration of the centenary of American Independence. It was the first visit of an English military band since the creation of the republic, and a special Act of Parliament had to be passed to authorise it. At Queen Victoria's jubilee (1887) he was promoted second-lieutenant — the first bandmaster who received a commission in the army. He was also decorated with the jubilee medal and clasp. In 1891 he reached the age limit of sixty, but his period of service was extended for five years. He retired from the army on 4 Sept. 1896, with the reputation of England's leading bandmaster. Subsequently he formed a private military band which played at the chief exhibitions in England and with which he twice toured America and Canada. He rendered splendid service to the cause of military music, and was very successful as an 'arranger' of compositions for military bands. He died at Beeston, Nottinghamshire, on 30 June 1903. Godfrey married in 1856 Joyce Boyles, by whom he had two sons and three daughters. His eldest son, Dan Godfrey (b. 1868), a well-known conductor, is musical director to the corporation of Bournemouth. A cartoon of Godfrey by 'Spy' appeared in 'Vanity Fair' on 10 March 1888.

The bread was generally in the form of long or round cakes (Ex. 29:23; 1 Sam. 2:36), of a thinness that rendered them easily broken (Isa. 58:7; Matt. 14:19; 26:26; Acts 20:11). Common ovens were generally used; at other times a jar was half-filled with hot pebbles, and the dough was spread over them. Hence we read of "cakes baken on the coals" (1 Kings 19:6), and "baken in the oven" (Lev. 2:4). (See [44]BREAD.)

(4.) The word rendered in the Authorized Version "bags," in which the priests bound up the money contributed for the restoration of the temple (2 Kings 12:10), is also rendered "bundle" (Gen. 42:35; 1 Sam. 25:29). It denotes bags used by travellers for carrying money during a journey (Prov. 7:20; Hag. 1:6).

​THIGH, a term applied to that part of the human body, which is situated between the pelvis, or bason, and the knee; thus forming the upper portion of the lower extremity. The principal affections to which this limb is liable, being Fracture, Dislocation, and sciatica, it will be unnecessary to enter into any farther discussion on these heads; as they have been already treated of, vol. ii. p. 331; vol. iii. pp. 136, and 488.

​THEATRE, signifies the place in which spectacles, or dramatic representations, are exhibited.
The drama was originally invented in Greece; whence the rules of it have been gradually dispersed over the civilized nations of Europe. It would, however, be inconsistent with our limits, to trace its progress from rudeness to refinement, or vice versa: we shall, therefore, content ourselves with remarking, that dramatic performances afford to many persons an agreeable relaxation, after the toils of their industrious pursuits. And, though play-houses have often met with violent opposition, as tending to corrupt the morals of the people; yet, if they be managed with a due regard to decorum, and moral truth, inculcating only virtuous precepts, they doubtless deserve encouragement. Indeed, the tendency of plays depends principally on the opinions, manners, and taste of the public: for, as the chief object of those who devote themselves to the stage, is the acquisition of wealth and fame, or notoriety, it follows that if such taste be gross or corrupted, the representations will also partake of the general depravity, in order to please a mixed audience: on the other hand, if the national sentiments be elevated and refined, the performances will likewise be divested of rude and licentious expressions; so that the theatre will then be favourable to the cause of virtue and morality. Whether these observations be applicable to the present condition of the British stage, we submit to the judgment of the attentive reader: but, there are a few remarks, which we cannot on this occasion suppress.
As the language of the drama ought to be alike free from affectation and ambiguity, we think it highly censurable in performers, either to extemporize, where a favourable opportunity offers for passing off a vulgar joke; or to substitute words, the meaning of which admits of an explanation unfavourable to moral purity. It would be superfluous to point out the danger of such licentiousness, especially to the young female breast, which is thus imperceptibly contaminated in the presence of parents and guardians. Nor can we approve of another singular custom, now prevalent in our theatres; namely, that of accompanying the most serious drama, or a tragedy, with what is vulgarly called an entertainment, or a farce: thus, every grain of taste in the audience, is completely effaced; and it appears to us nearly in the same light, as if a person, after hearing an impressive discourse, retires to an adjoining tavern, in order to drown the calls of conscience, by profuse libations to Bacchus.
