EGLOFFSTEIN, JULIE, COUNTESS VON,
A distinguished German artist, was for many years demoiselle d'honneur to the Grand Duchess Luise Weimar. Her vocation for painting was early displayed, but combated and discouraged as derogatory to her station. A journey to Italy, undertaken on account of her health, fixed her destiny for life; yet in her peculiar circumstances it required real strength of mind to take the step she has; but a less decided course could not well have emancipated her from trammels, the force of which can hardly be estimated out of Germany. There is nothing mannered or conventional in her style, and she possesses the rare gift of original and creative genius.
"When I have looked at the Countess Julie in her painting room," says Mrs. Jameson, "surrounded by her drawings, models, and casts—all the powers of her exuberant enthusiastic mind flowing free in their natural direction, I have felt at once pleasure, and admiration, and respect. It should seem that the energy of spirit and real magnanimity of mind, which could trample over social prejudices, not the less strong because manifestly absurd, united to ​genius and perseverance, may, if life be granted, safely draw upon futurity both for success and for fame."
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Eleanor of Aquitaine

Layout 2
ELEANOR
Of Aquitaine, succeeded her father, William the Tenth, in 1137, at the age of fifteen, in the fine duchy which at that time comprised Gascony, Saintonge, and the Comte de Poitou. She married the same year Louis the Seventh, King of France, and went with him to the Holy Land. She soon gave him cause for jealousy, from her intimacy with her uncle, Raymond, Count of Poitiers, and with Saladin; and after many bitter quarrels, they were divorced under pretence of consanguinity, in 1152.
Six weeks afterwards, Eleanor married Henry the Second, Duke Of Normandy, afterwards King of England, to whom she brought in dowry Poitou and Guienne. Thence arose those wars that ravaged France for three hundred years, in which more than three millions of Frenchmen lost their lives.
Eleanor had four sons and a daughter by her second husband. In 1162, she gave Guienne to her second son, Richard Cœur de Lion, who did homage for it to the King of France. She died in 1204. She was very jealous of her second husband, and shewed the greatest animosity to all whom she regarded as rivals. She is accused of having compelled one of his mistresses, Rosamond Clifford, generally called "Fair Rosamond," to drink poison; but the story has been shewn to be untrue by later researches. She incited her sons to rebel against their father, and was in consequence thrown into prison, where she was kept for sixteen years. She was in her youth remarkably beautiful; and, in the later years of her varied life, shewed evidences of a naturally noble disposition. As soon as she was liberated from her prison, which was done by order of her son Richard, on his accession to the throne, he placed her at the head of the government. No doubt she bitterly felt the utter neglect she had suffered during her imprisonment; yet she did not, when she had obtained power, use it to punish her enemies, but rather devoted herself to deeds of mercy and piety, going from city to city, setting free all persons confined for violating the game-laws, which, in the latter part of King Henry's life, were cruelly enforced; and when she released these prisoners, it was on condition that they prayed for the soul of her late husband. Miss Strickland thus closes her interesting biography of this beautiful but unfortunate Queen of England:—"Eleanor of Aquitaine is among the very few women who have atoned for iti ill-spent youth by a wise and benevolent old age. As a sovereign she ranks among the greatest of female rulers."

Layout 2
ELEONORE OF TOLEDO,
Daughter of Pertor of Toledo, Viceroy of Naples, was born in ​the year 1526, and shewed, even when a child, marks of an extraordinary mind. In 1543, she married Cosmos the First, a Medici. Her husband was only twenty-four years old, though already six years a ruling prince. He had ascended the throne of Tuscany after the assassination of Alexander, in the year 1533, and found himself now constantly engaged in active hostilities with the Strozzi, the hereditary enemies of his house. Bloody and terrible were the battles fought in this struggle; but Eleonore never left the side of her husband, even during the hottest encounters of the fight. Her extraordinary courage contributed greatly to the termination of the war; for, one day while riding with an escort of only fifteen horsemen, she met the leader of the hostile forces, Philip Strozzi, with a force of forty-five horsemen, reconnoitering the camp. Without a moment's hesitation, she threw herself upon them, cut them to pieces, and made Strozzi prisoner. Philip knew that no prisoner had hitherto been spared, and, in order to escape an ignominious death upon the scaffold, committed suicide in prison. This sad event induced Eleonore to prevail upon her husband to promise that henceforth he would spare the lives of his prisoners. Eleonore also accompanied her husband in the war between Charles the Fifth and Francis the First, and was actively engaged in the storming and taking of Sienna. She afterwards urged her husband to have himself crowned a king, but in this he failed. Pius the Fifth finally changed his title, Duke of Florence, into that of Grand-duke of Tuscany.
Eleonore's ambition being now satisfied, she devoted the rest of her life to encourage education, the fine arts, and benevolent institutions. The exact time of her decease is not known

EDESIA,
Of Alexandria, wife of the philosopher Hermias. She lived in the beginning of the fifth century. Although at an early period of her life a convert to Christianity, she escaped persecution on account of her faith, in consequence of the high respect she commanded for her virtuous and exemplary life. After the death of of her husband, she joined her relatives at Athens.
The Fathers of the church mention her in their writings as having been instrumental, by her exemplary conduct, in dispelling ​many prejudices entertained against the followers of Christ, and in causing numbers to join the church.

EGEE,
Queen of the African Amazons, of whom it is related that she passed from Lybia into Asia with a powerful army, with which she made great ravages. Opposed by Laomedon, King of Troy, she set his power at defiance; and, loaded with an immense booty, was returning to her own country, when, in crossing the sea, she perished with her whole army.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Egerton, Lady Frances

Layout 2
EGERTON, LADY FRANCES,
Accompanied her husband on a journey, which gave occasion to his "Mediterranean Sketches," and from her pen, "Journal of a Tour in the Holy Laud." The Quarterly Review says of this work, "Lady F. Egerton's little volume, taken all in all, well justifies the respect with which we have always heard her name mentioned. Although she travelled with all the comfort and protection which station and wealth could secure to her, and the smooth ways of pilgrimage now permit, yet that one indispensable qualification which the Christian reader demands in all who presume to approach the altar-place of our faith, the absence of which no array of learning and no brilliancy of talent can supply—namely, the genuine pilgrim's heart—that, we find in Lady F. Egerton's unpretending journal, more than in any other modern expedition to the Holy Land that we know." The sweetest praise Lady Egerton could receive for her literary genius, would be poor to the compliment her husband has paid her at the close of his work; the offices he awards to her of "Guide, companion, monitress, and friend," are significant of the true womanly virtues of her heart, and of the entire sympathy of their intellectual pursuits. Fortunate is the woman thus wedded.

ELEANOR
Of England, surnamed the Saint, was the daughter of Berenger, the fifth Count of Provence. In the year 1236, she became the wife of King Henry the Third, and afterward the mother of Edward the First. After the death of her husband she entered the nunnery at Ambresbury, and lived there in the odour of sanctity. Her prayers were reputed to have the power of performing miracles.

EDITHA,
Daughter of Earl Godwin, and wife of Edward the Confessor, was an amiable and very learned lady. Ingulphus, the Saxon ​historian, affirms that the queen frequently interrupted him and his school-fellows in her walks, and questioned them, with much closeness, on their progress in Latin. Ingulphus was then a scholar at Westminster monastery, near Editha's palace. She was also skilful in needle-work, and kind to the poor. Her character is very interesting, and her heart-trials must have been severe.

ELGIVA,
A beautiful English Princess, who married Edwy, King of England, soon after he ascended the throne, in 955. She was within the degree of kindred prohibited by the canon law; and the savage Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, excited a disaffection against the king in consequence. The rebellious party seized the queen, and branded her in the face with a red-hot iron, hoping to destroy her beauty, then carried her into Ireland to remain there in exile; while Edwy consented to a divorce. Elgiva, having completely recovered from her wounds, was hastening to the arms of her husband, when she fell into the hands of her enemies, and was barbarously murdered.
# A History of Chinese Literature

A HISTORY OF
CHINESE LITERATURE
BY
HERBERT A. GILES, M. A., LL. D. (Aberd.)
PROFESSOR OF CHINESE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE AND LATE H. B. M. CONSUL AT NINGPO
NEW YORK AND LONDON
D. APPLETON AND COMPANY
1927
PREFACE
This is the first attempt made in any language, including Chinese, to produce a history of Chinese literature.
Native scholars, with their endless critiques and appreciations of individual works, do not seem ever to have contemplated anything of the kind, realising, no doubt, the utter hopelessness, from a Chinese point of view, of achieving even comparative success in a general historical survey of the subject. The voluminous character of a literature which was already in existence some six centuries before the Christian era, and has run on uninterruptedly until the present date, may well have given pause to writers aiming at completeness. The foreign student, however, is on a totally different footing. It may be said without offence that a work which would be inadequate to the requirements of a native public, may properly be submitted to English readers as an introduction into the great field which lies beyond.
Acting upon the suggestion of Mr. Gosse, to whom I am otherwise indebted for many valuable hints, I have devoted a large portion of this book to translation, thus enabling the Chinese author, so far as translation will allow, to speak for himself. I have also added, here and there, remarks by native critics, that the reader may be ​able to form an idea of the point of view from which the Chinese judge their own productions.
It only remains to be stated that the translations, with the exception of a few passages from Legge's "Chinese Classics," in each case duly acknowledged, are my own.

# A New Riddle Book/Several Comical Questions

Here follows ſeveral comical Queſtions.
question i.
anſwer. Seventeen, each paying four pence farthing.
q. 2. How may a ſtraw be laid upon the ground, that it may not be jumped over? They to whom you propoſe this queſtion, ſhall think it eaſy to be done: if it ſhall come to a wager, lay your ſtraw cloſe to the wall on the ground, and they will ſoon ſee the impoſſible to be done. So yielding the wager loſt, it may occaſion ſome laughter.
q. 3. If a Butcher ſends his ſervant to market, and orders him, with twenty ſhillings, to buy twenty head of ſmall cattle of ſeveral prices: that is to ſay, Weathers at four ſhillings a piece, Ewes at twelve pence, (illegible text)d Lambs at a groat; and to lay out all (illegible text) twenty ſhillings, and to have twenty (illegible text)d, neither more nor leſs, how many of a (illegible text)t muſt there be to compleat the number (illegible text) the aforeſaid money?
anſwer. Two Weathers, nine Ewes, and three lambs.
​q.4. To lay a man's right hand upon himſelf, where he cannot touch it with his left, will ſeem ſtrange to thoſe who are unacquainted with the trick; and when they have tried, ſome will be ready to bet; then take their right hand and lay it upon the backſide of their left elbow, and they will ſoon be obliged to yield the wager loſt.
q. 5. How to make two Calves and an ape dance in the middle of the room before Company.—When you propoſe to do this ſome will ſay you have the art of conjuration and that you are going to act the ſecond part of Dr. Fauſtus: others will be curious to ſee what may be done in it: and the better to bring it about, will be apt to lay ſome ſmall wager, that you cannot perform what was promiſed. Now, the wager being laid, riſe from your ſeat, and whereas you promiſed to make two Calves and an ape dance, dance round the room yourſelf and the calves of your legs, and the nap of your neck will dance with you which are what are mentioned,
# A New Source of Niter

A New Source of Niter.
The following is an extract from the Selma (Alabama) Sentinel, October 1st, 1863:
“The Ladies of Selma are respectfully requested to preserve their chamber-lye collected about their premises for the purpose of making niter. Wagons, with barrels will sent around for it by the subscriber.
John Harrolson,
Agent Niter and Mining Bureau, C. S. A.”
Whereupon the following impromptu was shortly afterwards circulated:
John Harrolson! John Harrolson! You are a funny creature— You’ve given to this cruel war A new and curious feature. You’d have us think while every man Is bound to be a fighter, The women (bless the pretty dears!) Should be put to making niter!
John Harrolson! John Harrolson! Where did you get the notion To send your barrels round the town To gather up the lotion? We thought the girls had work enough In making shirts and kissing, But now you’d put the pretty dears To patriotic pissing!
John Harrolson! John Harrolson! Could you not invent a neater And somewhat less immodest mode Of making your salpeter? The thing’s so very queer, you know, Gunpowder-like and cranky— That when a lady lifts her shift She shoots “a bloody Yankee!”

# A New Song (Chatterton)

Ah blame me not, Catcott, if from the right way
My notions and actions run far.
How can my ideas do other but stray,
Deprived of their ruling North-Star?
A blame me not, Broderip, if mounted aloft,
I chatter and spoil the dull air;
How can I imagine thy foppery soft,
When discord's the voice of my fair?
If Turner remitted my bluster and rhymes,
If Hardind was girlish and cold,
If never an ogle was got from Miss Grimes,
If Flavia was blasted and old;
I chose without liking, and left without pain,
Nor welcomed the frown with a sigh;
I scorned, like a monkey, to dangle my chain,
And paint them new charms with a lie.
Once Cotton was handsome; I flam'd and I burn'd,
I died to obtain the bright queen;
But when I beheld my epistle return'd,
By Jesu it alter'd the scene.
She's damnable ugly, my Vanity cried,
You lie, says my Conscience, you lie;
Resolving to follow the dictates of Pride,
I'd view her a hag to my eye.
But should she regain her bright lustre again,
And shine in her natural charms,
'Tis but to accept of the works of my pen,
And permit me to use my own arms.

# A Naval Biographical Dictionary/Barnes, Peter

Layout 4
​BARNES. (Lieut., 1815, f-p., 20; h-p., 21.)
Peter Barnes was born 30 May, 1793.
This officer entered the Navy, 19 July, 1806, as Second-cl. Vol., on board the Emerald 36, Capts. John Larmour and Fred. Lewis Maitland. On 13 March, 1808, he served in the boats in a very gallant attempt made in Vivero harbour to cut out the French corvette L’Apropos, of 20 guns and 70 men; and in April, 1809, was present, as Midshipman, at the destruction of the French shipping in Aix Roads. From Dec. 1811, until the receipt of his commission, 17 Feb. 1815, Mr. Barnes served on the Home and Baltic stations in the Bellerophon and Vigo 74’s, flag-ships of Rear-Admirals John Ferrier and Graham Moore, Puissant 74, Capt. Benj. Wm. Page, Growler, Lieut.-Commander Hugh Anderson, and Ajax 74, Capt. Geo. Mundy. During the subsequent months of 1815 he appears to have been employed on board the Pompée 80, Capt. Sir Jas. Athol Wood. He has been in charge, since 26 Oct. 1836, of a station in the Coast Guard.
We understand that Lieut. Barnes filled the post of Vice-Consul at Bruges from 1823 to 1836, without however receiving the slightest remuneration. He married, first, 6 Oct. 1818, Miss Agnes Maxwell; and, secondly, 12 March, 1839, Miss Georgina Clarkson, by whom, as well as by his former wife, he has issue two children. His son, Edgar Broughton Barnes, a B.A., is at present Naval Instructor on board H.M.S. Trafalgar.
