A graduate of the Cambridge High School, he was curator of the collection of birds and mammals of the Boston Society of Natural History, 1880-87; curator of the department of mammals and birds 1885-1900, and after the latter year, of birds alone at the Cambridge Museum of Comparative Zoology, his own private museum of ornithology also occupying a great deal of his attention.

BRANDT, Josef von, Polish painter: b. Szczebrzeszyn, 11 Feb. 1841. He first studied engineering in Paris, then took up painting at Munich as a pupil of Franz Adam and Karl Piloty and opened his own studio. His pictures mostly illustrate the soldier life of the 17th century, though he has painted also some excellent pictures of Polish peasant life. His works include ‘Polish Peasants at the Inn,’ ‘Episode of the Thirty Years' War,’ ‘The Battle with the Turks, near Vienna, 12 Sept. 1683,’ ‘Cossack Camp,’ ‘Tartar Battle,’ ‘Cossacks on the
March,’ ‘Cossacks' Triumphal Song’ and ‘Defense of a Farmyard by Polish Cavalry,’ and ‘The Runaway,’ which in 1900 received a prize in the National Academy, New York.

Edition of 1920. See also Fredrika Bremer on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
BREMER, brā'mėr, Fredrika, Swedish novelist: b. Tuorla, Finland, 17 Aug. 1801; d. Arsta, 31 Dec. 1865. At 17 she was taken on a tour through Germany, Switzerland and France. In 1828 appeared the first volume of her ‘Sketches of Everyday Life,’ but the second volume, ‘The H. Family’ (1833; English transl., 1844), first revealed her power. From this time she devoted herself to writing stories that quickly became popular in translations far beyond the bounds of Sweden, and she varied her literary labor by long journeys in Italy, England, the United States, Greece and Palestine, which supplied the materials for her ‘Homes of the New World’ (1853), and ‘Life in the Old World’ (1862), full of fine descriptions of scenery and vivid pictures of social life, with sound views on political and moral questions. The admirable translations of Mary Howitt had preceded her in the United States as well as England, and insured her an equally warm welcome on both sides of the Atlantic. On her return to Sweden she gave herself up to philanthropy, but more particularly to the education and emancipation of women, and the consequent propagandist character of her later novels, ‘Bertha’ and ‘Father and Daughter’ (1859), was detrimental in no small degree to their literary value. Her religious views she set forth in her ‘Morning Watches’ (1842). She has been called the Jane Austen of Sweden. Of her stories perhaps the most perfect is ‘The Neighbors’ (1837). ‘The Diary,’ ‘The President's Daughters,’ ‘Brothers and Sisters’ and ‘Strife and Peace or Scenes in Dalecarlia,’ are only less popular. ‘Lives’ were published in 1868 and at Copenhagen in 1892 by Petersen.

BRANDT, Nicholas, German chemist of the 17th century, usually considered the discoverer of phosphorus. Leibnitz mentions him as a chemist of Hamburg, who, during a course of experiments on urine, for the purpose of discovering a solvent which would convert silver into gold, accidentally produced phosphorus, in 1667 or 1669. He communicated or sold his discovery to Kunkel, who showed it to Leibnitz. Boyle, securing a piece of the phosphorus, and knowing from what material it had been obtained, after various experiments succeeded in preparing it and thus made an independent discovery of the method.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Brandy

Edition of 1920. See also Brandy on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
BRANDY, the name commonly applied to the spirit distilled from the juice of the grape, but also given to liquors distilled from other fruits, such as apples, cherries, peaches, etc. All these brandies differ from each other only in the essential oil which they contain and which gives to each its different flavor and aroma. The alcohol in brandy generally constitutes 50 per cent of the whole, the remaining substances being water, amyl, propyl and isobutyl, alcohols, glycerol, etc. A brandy highly esteemed is Cognac, exported from southwestern France, and obtained by distilling white wines of the finest quality. An inferior kind of spirit is frequently prepared from the “marc” of grapes and the refuse of wine vats. When first distilled it is as colorless as alcohol, and continues so if kept in bottles or jars. When stored in casks, however, it acquires from the wood a pale amber tint, and in this state is sold as pale brandy. The dark color of brown brandy is produced artificially, to please the public taste, by means of a solution of caramel, and this is frequently added in excess to give a rich appearance to a brandy of low quality. A large proportion of the brandy sold in the United States is simply raw grain spirits flavored and colored. The spirit is imported into France, where it is redistilled and converted into French brandy. Brandy improves in flavor by being kept but loses in strength. Of late years the development of viticulture in the western States, particularly in California, has enabled American enterprise to produce a brandy that is a formidable rival to the French article. Imitation brandy is prepared either by flavoring highly rectified spirit with essence of Cognac or by distilling the spirit with bruised prunes, acetic ether, argol and a little genuine brandy and adding to the distilled spirit tincture of catechu and spirit coloring.

# The Georgics (Nevile)/Dedication

TO
CHRISTOPHER NEVILE, Esq; Jun$^r$.
    Dear Nephew,
I Take the liberty to offer you in this public manner what was originally undertaken for your private use.
My intention was, you may remember, to excite you to a careful examination of the most polished poem of Antiquity; which, though adorned with every striking beauty of language and imagery, is, I fear, not enough considered.
This neglect may indeed be imputed to the seeming severity of it's didactic form, and perhaps in some measure to it's very perfection: ​for, as in the estimate of characters the showy anomalies of the giddy and dissolute are preferred by vulgar Observers to the silent consistencies of the sober and decent; just so the gross and gorgeous decorations of licentious composition operate more powerfully on common Readers, than the modest and elegant graces of exact writing.
A ready discernment of the more delicate and latent beauties presupposes long habit and reflexion, a refinement of our natural sensibility, and a knowledge of the laws, by which Judgment is directed: where these are wanting, an impatience for gratification is sure to betray the young Student into a fondness for whatever makes a quick and forcible impression: hence a passion for glare and glitter, tumour, and exuberance: hence, in a word, those corruptions, which, when recommended by reputable example, have been known to elude the judicious efforts of reforming Criticism.
It is with true taste as with sound morals; a timely study of the best Authors forms us to the one, as an early converse with the best Men trains us to the other.
​Of all the works of Genius none is so well suited to every purpose of improvement as the poem of which I now present you with a copy. A sentimental cadence of verse; a constant care of avoiding every the least anticipation, every foreign intermixture, that may divert the mind from the main object, or cause a faint impression of the principal idea; and a felicity of expression, that without the appearance of design ennobles the meanest topics, are among it's more distinguished excellencies. These in an eminent degree demand the attention of all, who are solicitous to acquire a just notion of chaste composition.
But wherefore do I talk of chaste composition at a time, when the Public seems little disposed to favour any well-conducted plan; when impure Buffoonery is permitted to usurp the place of genuine Wit, and barbarous Invective unreproved assumes the honours due to legitimate Satire?
It is not difficult to foresee what effects this depravity may have even on the moral character of the rising Generation, if it receive not a seasonable check from the authoritative ​influence of the few finished productions, left us by our great Masters, the Antients.
May You, my dear Nephew, amidst the dissipations incident to youth, continue to cultivate that taste, of which, by the assistance of the best education, you have given an early promise.
       I am.
          With the warmest affection.
             Your Friend and Uncle,
Cambridge,
Feb. 9, 1767.
                   THOMAS NEVILE.

# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Impossibilities to His Friend

198. IMPOSSIBILITIES TO HIS FRIEND.
My faithful friend, if you can see The fruit to grow up, or the tree; If you can see the colour come Into the blushing pear or plum; If you can see the water grow To cakes of ice or flakes of snow; If you can see that drop of rain Lost in the wild sea once again; If you can see how dreams do creep Into the brain by easy sleep: Then there is hope that you may see Her love me once who now hates me.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/How Primroses Came Green

167. HOW PRIMROSES CAME GREEN.
Virgins, time-past, known were these, Troubled with green-sicknesses: Turn'd to flowers, still the hue, Sickly girls, they bear of you.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/How Violets Came Blue

260. HOW VIOLETS CAME BLUE.
Love on a day, wise poets tell, Some time in wrangling spent, Whether the violets should excel, Or she, in sweetest scent. But Venus having lost the day, Poor girls, she fell on you: And beat ye so, as some dare say, Her blows did make ye blue.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/How the Wall-flower Came First, and Why So Called

36. HOW THE WALL-FLOWER CAME FIRST, AND WHY SO CALLED.
Why this flower is now call'd so, List, sweet maids, and you shall know. Understand, this firstling was Once a brisk and bonnie lass, Kept as close as Danaë was: Who a sprightly springall lov'd, And to have it fully prov'd, Up she got upon a wall, Tempting down to slide withal: But the silken twist untied, So she fell, and, bruis'd, she died. Love, in pity of the deed, And her loving-luckless speed, Turn'd her to this plant we call Now the flower of the wall.
Tempting, trying.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/His Wish (It is sufficient if we pray)

153. HIS WISH.
It is sufficient if we pray To Jove, who gives and takes away: Let him the land and living find; Let me alone to fit the mind.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Hope Heartens

120. HOPE HEARTENS.
None goes to warfare but with this intent— The gains must dead the fears of detriment.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/How Lilies Came White

190. HOW LILIES CAME WHITE.
White though ye be, yet, lilies, know, From the first ye were not so; But I'll tell ye What befell ye: Cupid and his mother lay In a cloud, while both did play, He with his pretty finger press'd The ruby niplet of her breast; Out of which the cream of light, Like to a dew, Fell down on you And made ye white.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/How Roses Came Red

258. HOW ROSES CAME RED.
Roses at first were white, Till they could not agree, Whether my Sappho's breast Or they more white should be.
But, being vanquish'd quite, A blush their cheeks bespread; Since which, believe the rest, The roses first came red.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/I Call and I Call

281. I CALL AND I CALL.
I call, I call: who do ye call? The maids to catch this cowslip ball: But since these cowslips fading be, Troth, leave the flowers, and, maids, take me. Yet, if that neither you will do, Speak but the word and I'll take you.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/How Pansies or Heart's-ease Came First

391. HOW PANSIES OR HEART'S-EASE CAME FIRST.
Frolic virgins once these were, Over-loving, living here; Being here their ends denied, Ran for sweethearts mad, and died. Love, in pity of their tears, And their loss in blooming years, For their restless here-spent hours, Gave them heart's-ease turn'd to flowers.
