# The New International Encyclopædia/Bituminous Limestone

Edition of 1905. See also Bituminous limestone on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
BITUMINOUS LIMESTONE. A limestone impregnated and sometimes deeply colored with bituminous matter derived from the decomposition of animal and plant remains entombed within the mass or in its vicinity. The amount of bituminous matter or asphalt in the pores of the rock is sometimes sufficient to permit the material being used for asphalt pavements after simply powdering and heating it. Still better results are obtained by mixing it with bituminous sandstone. In the United States, bituminous limestone occurs in Indian Territory, Texas, and Utah. Much bituminous limestone is also mined in Germany, Switzerland, and France, whence large quantities of it are brought to the United States. See Asphalt; Pavement; Asphaltic Coal.

# The New International Encyclopædia/Blarney

Edition of 1905. See also Blarney on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
BLAR'NEY (Irish blairne, a little field, from Gael. blair, blar, a plain). A village in Ireland, four miles from Cork, having a castle built in 1449, by Cormac McCarthy. Near the castle are the ‘Groves of Blarney,’ and on the summit of the castle-tower is the Blarney Stone, the kissing of which is said to endow one with the gift of coaxing, wheedling, and flattering. The true stone, however, is one set into a wall, where it
can be kissed only by a person held over the parapet. The name has given a noun, a verb, and a participle to the English language.

# The New International Encyclopædia/Blake, William

Edition of 1905. See also William Blake on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​BLAKE, William (1757-1827). An English engraver and poet. He was born in London November 28, 1757. In 1789 he published Songs of Innocence, followed in 1794 by Songs of Experience, showing the two contrary states of the human soul, with about 60 etchings, remarkable for their peculiar and original manner. The poems were equally singular, but many of them exhibited true pathos. Some marginal designs for Young's Night Thoughts, executed by Blake, were greatly admired by Flaxman. Blake lived in the full belief that he held converse with the spirits of the departed great — with Moses, Homer, Vergil, Dante, and Milton. He published numerous etchings, chiefly of religious and cognate subjects, among the best of which are his Inventions to the Book of Job, and the illustrations of Blair's Grave. He died (August 12, 1827) in poverty and obscurity, with the conviction that he was a martyr to poetic art. The influence of Michelangelo is traceable in his art; but the imagination which produced his bold and often curious designs was peculiarly Blake's own, while in his diction, though at times almost irrational, he was, according to Swinburne, “the single Englishman of supreme and simple poetic genius of his time,” and Charles Lamb regarded him as one of the most extraordinary persons of the age. The facts of Blake's early life are recorded in a book, now rare, written by Dr. Malkin, A Father's Memoirs of his Child (1806). Consult: Gilchrist, Life and Works of William Blake (2d ed. London, 1880); Swinburne, William Blake: A Critical Essay (London, 1808); Poetical Works of William Blake, ed. W. M. Rossetti (London, 1874); and Works, edited with lithographs of the illustrated “Prophetic Books,” and memoir and interpretation, Ellis and Yeats (London, 1893).

In addition to the books mentioned, her writings include: Fettered for Life (1874), a novel dealing with the woman's suffrage question; Woman's Place To-day (1883), lectures delivered in reply to a series of Lenten sermons on "Woman," by Rev.

He graduated at the University of Michigan in 1841, and at the Harvard Law School in 1846, and subsequently practiced law in Boston. In 1852 he became a member of the State Senate, and in the following year was sent to the State Constitutional Convention. He was an enthusiastic worker in the Free-Soil Party, especially in the Presidential campaign of 1848; and in 1854 joined the American Party, and became one of its representatives in the Thirty-fourth Congress. His denunciation of Brooks's assault upon Senator Sumner provoked a challenge from Brooks, which he at once accepted, naming rifles as the weapons. Brooks did not fight. Burlingame was a Congressman until 1861, and in that year was sent as Minister to Austria, where the feeling against him, because he had favored Hungarian independence, led to a positive refusal to receive him as a diplomatic representative. He was then sent to China, where he remained as Minister until 1867, when, having completely gained the confidence of the Chinese Government, he was appointed special Chinese envoy to the United States and various European Powers. In 1868 he negotiated with the United States Government the “Burlingame Treaty,” notable as marking the first acceptance by China of the principles of international law, and as granting important reciprocal privileges to the two Powers. Subsequently he negotiated important treaties with Denmark, Sweden, Holland, and Prussia, and in 1870 he died in Saint Petersburg while arranging the terms of a treaty with Russia.

His Presidential policy was characterized by brilliant but impracticable schemes, aiming chiefly at territorial expansion.

From his designs the Puritan was built, which proved the best American yacht, and easily defeated the Genesta (English) in the races for the America's cup in 1885. In 1886 his Mai/flower easily led in the race with the English Galatea. In 1888 his fishing schooner Carrie E. Phillips distanced four competitors in the Fishermen's race held in Boston Harbor.

In 1766 he was called to Berlin as superior consistorial councilor and director of a gymnasium, and died there. Until the appearance of Büsching's Neue Erdbeschreibung (11 vols., 1754-92), neither Germany nor any other nation possessed a geographical work which made any pretension to scientific treatment or completeness of execution. Political changes have deprived the work of its original value, but it has been corrected and edited by subsequent writers. Of his other numerous publications, the most important is the Magazin für Historiographie und Geographie (25 vols., 1767-93).
