Chapter XXVII.
GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL FRAGMENTS.
Addée.
Some notes on this family are in the new edition of La France Protestante, which has as yet proceeded over only the threshold of the alphabet. The first date is October 1627 — the time of the death of Emmanuel Addée, Sieur du Petit-Val; his widow, née Marie Berger (daughter of the Councillor Pierre Berger), died aged seventy, and was buried at Charenton on 30th August 1648. They had two sons, Louis and Samuel; the former was styled Le Sieur de Grand-Champ, and was the father of Anne Addée, baptized 2nd May 1649, who was married in 1769 to Lieut.-Colonel Isaac de Monceau de Melonière (as already stated); she had a sister, Susanna, baptized 3rd July 1660, who died a refugee in England in 1688.
There was also a Frederic Addée, of Metz, gentleman, born 1679, who came to London, received £22 from the Royal Bounty in 1721, and settled in Ireland. I find in the register of Hungerford French Church, London, the marriage, on 31st December 1695, of Daniel Addée, Esq., Captain in Miremont’s Dragoons; he became a Colonel in our army. Perhaps he is the same man as Daniel, born in Lorraine, son of Hillaire Addée, and naturalized by Act of Parliament in 1713.
I may here inform genealogists that in the Gleanings from Registers in my Historical Introduction, there is a great deal of material capable of being worked up, as to 1685 and nearly half a century thereafter. I noted, as far as visible, every military officer (one naval officer), every minister, and every medical man. As to other registers (i.e. not French), I noted some interesting entries which I cannot guarantee to belong to French refugee biography, although perhaps throwing some light upon it.

Berchère and Boissier.
Jaques Louis Berchère, of Paris, and afterwards of Broad Street, London, merchant-jeweller and banker, as a widower, married in the French Church of St. Martin Orgars on 15th August 1700, Magdalen Regnier, widow. He died on 3rd May 1753, aged eighty-three, and was buried in the church of St. Helen’s, Bishopgate, beneath a black marble slab on which are engraved his wife’s arms. He had four daughters:— 1. Susanne, wife of Josiah Baril. 2. Magdalen, wife of John Louis Loubier. 3. Susanne Judith, wife of John Boissier. 4. Mary Magdalen, wife of James Massé. Boissier was a family of Anduze, refugees at Geneva. Jean Daniel Boissier was baptised at the Madeleine in Geneva on 4th July 1699; he settled in England, and purchased Lime Grove at Putney. He married at St. Peter-le-Poor on 15th April 1735, Susanne Judith Berchère. She was buried in Putney Churchyard on 4th September 1756, and he in the New Burial Ground, on 14th May 1770. His eldest son, James William, settled at Vienna, leaving a son, John William, who died in 1792 at the siege of Lille. But his second son remained in England, and founded a family, namely, John Louis Boissier, born 1742, died 1821, buried at Cheltenham, father of Rev. Peter Edward Boissier of Bath, born 1791, grandfather of Rev. Peter Henry Boissier, born 1822, died 1880, and great-grandfather of Rev. Frederick Scobell Boissier, M.A. Cantab., one of the Masters of all Saints’ School, Bloxham, born 1854. Among all these clergymen no religious author has been recorded. But the great-grandfather, John Louis Boissier, Esq., translated from the French, Bonnet’s “Philosophical and Critical Enquiries concerning Christianity;” the translation was printed in 1787.
# Potiphar's Wife and Other Poems/Sonnet to America

SONNET TO AMERICA
America! At this thy Golden Gate, New travelled from those portals of the West, Parting—I make my reverence! It were best With backward looks to quit a Queen in state! Land of all lands most fair, and free, and great, Of countless kindred lips, wherefrom I heard Sweet speech of Shakespeare—keep it consecrate For noble uses! Land of Freedom's Bird, Fearless and proud! so let him soar that, stirred With generous joy, all lands may learn from thee A larger life, and Europe, undeterred By ancient dreads, dare also to be free Body and Soul, seeing thine eagle gaze Undazzled, upon Freedom's sun full-blaze.

THE BRITISH EMPIRE
FROM CLAUDIAN
(De secundo Consulatu Stilichonis.)
"Hæc est in gremium Victos quæ sola recepit Humanumque genus communi nomine fovit Malris non dominæ ritu: civesque vocavit Quos domuit, nexuque pio longinqua revinxit."
She alone knew, of victors first and best, To fold the vanquished to her pardoning breast: To gather 'neath her wings, in one great brood, The tribes of Man, by might, then love, subdued, Mother, not Queen, calling those sons by birth Whom she had conquered—linking ends of Earth.
# Potiphar's Wife and Other Poems/The Egyptian Princess

THE EGYPTIAN PRINCESS.
There was fear and desolation over Egypt's swarthy land From the holy city of the Sun to hot Syëne's sand: The sistrum and the cymbal slept, the dancing women beat No measure to the pipe and drum, with silver-slippered feet: For the Daughter of the King must die, the dark magicians said Before once more the Moon-God Khuns should lift his hornèd head.
And, all those days, the temple-smoke loaded the heavy air With prayers to Set the Terrible, who heareth not, to hear; ​Those days the painted flags were down, the festal lamps untrimmed, Mute at their stones the millers ground, silent the Nile boats skimmed: And, through the land, lip passed to lip sad word of what would be, From Nubia's golden mountains to the gateways of the Sea.
There, in the Palace Hall, where once her laugh had loudest been, Where, but last Feast Day she had worn the wreath of Beauty's Queen, She lay a lost but lovely thing, the wreath was on her brow: Alas! the lotus could not match its chilly pallor now! And ever as the orb of Day sank lower in the sky, Her breath came fainter, and the life seemed fading from her eye.
​Mute o'er the dying maiden's form King Mycerinus bends;— Not Pharaoh's might from this dread foe proud Egypt's hope defends! Piteously moans he: "In this world, so dark without thy smile! Hast thou one care thy Father's love, thy King's pledge may beguile? Hast thou a last light wish?—'Tis thine, by all the Gods on high! If Egypt's blood can win it thee, or Egypt's treasure buy!"
How eagerly they wait her words! Upon the pictured wall In long gold lines the dying lights between the columns fall; Was it strange that tears were glistening where tears should never be, When Death had touched with fatal kiss the lips of such as she? ​Was it strange that warriors should raise a very woman's cry For help and hope to Athor's ears when such as she must die?
Small boot of bearded leeches here! not all Arabia's store Of precious balms can purchase her one noon of sunshine more! Hush! hush! she speaks!—the pale, drawn lips murmur a parting speech! Ah, silence! let no syllable be lost! so whispers each. That gray crow on the Palace wall which croaks and will not rest, An archer fits his arrow and splits the evil breast!
"Father! Great Father!—it is hard,—to die so very young! Summer was coming, and I looked to see the palm-buds sprung! ​Must it be always dark like this?—I cannot see thy face! I am dying! Hold me, Pharaoh! in thy kind and strong embrace! List! let them sometimes bear me where the golden sunbeams lie, Farewell! Farewell! I know thou wilt! 'Tis easy now to die!"
And ever when the Star of Kneph has brought the summer round, And the Nile rises fast and full along the thirsty ground, They bear her from her rock-hewn tomb to where the Sun's broad light May linger on the close-bound eyes were once so glad and bright; And strew palm-clusters on her breast while gray-haired singers tell Of the high Egyptian Lady, who loved the Sun so well.

MOTHERS
(A Dialogue at Boston, Mass., U. S. A.)
"See there," he said, "my fair American! Yon noisy child I'd like to choke, being but 'brutal man;' That Mother mild
"Takes all its howls for music, comforts it With song and kiss: And gives it, at the loudest of its fit, Her milky bliss.
"And there again,—yon little lambkin bleating, Made for mint-sauce: At its first cry the Ewe quits clover-eating And runs, perforce.
​"And yet again, that purple-winged hen-starling, Hungry—I'll vouch it! Flies with a fat grub to her nested darling, Nor dreams to pouch it!
"She-mercy everywhere, she-pitying In helpless season! You Boston girls seem up to everything: Tell me the reason."
"Why, certainly!" she smiled, "don't poets know Better than others? God can't be always everywhere: and, so, Invented Mothers."
# Potiphar's Wife and Other Poems/The Emperor's Breakfast

THE EMPEROR'S BREAKFAST
Fifteen centuries ago, Emperor Nintok of Japan Walked upon his roof, at morning, Watching if the work began Well—to gild the cedar frieze Of his palace galleries; Well—to nail the silver plates Of his inner palace gates; For the Queen would have it so Fifteen hundred years ago!
Walking on his roof, he spied Streets and lanes and quarters teeming, Saw his city spreading wide: Ah! but poor and sad in seeming Showed those lowly wooden huts Underneath the King's gates gleaming. ​Oh! he knows each wicket shuts One world out and one world in: This so great, and that so small, Yet to those plain folks within The little world their all in all! Just then, the waiting maids bore through The breakfast of King Nintoku.
Quoth the Emperor, gazing round, "Wherefore—when my meats abound— See I not more smoke arise From these huts beneath mine eyes? Chimneys jut into the air, Yet no chimney-reek is there Telling how the household pot Bubbles glad with gohan hot! Gild me no more galleries If my people lose the gold! Let my doors unplated go If the silver leaves them cold! This city of all tax I ease For three years: We decree it so! ​From those huts there shall be smoke!" Thus the Emperor Nintok spoke.
Three years sped. Upon his roof That Monarch paced again. Aloof His Empress hung, ill-pleased to see The snows drip through her gallery, The gates agape for cracks, and gray With wear and weather. "Consort! say If thus the Emperor of Japan Should lodge, like some vile peasant man Whose thatch leaks for a load of straw?" "Princess august! what recks a flaw," Nintok replied, "in gate or wall When, far and wide, those chimneys all Fling their blue house-flags to the sky Where the Gods count them? Thou and I Have part in all the poor folks' health: A people's weal makes a King's wealth!"
# Proclamation 4970

Delivered on 14 September 1982.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
The United Nations was born out of the massive human suffering and destruction caused by the Second World War. From the outset, the United States, one of the principal architects and founders of the United Nations, has worked to make it a forum for debate among all peace-loving nations and to support its purpose of preventing war and conflict through conciliation and cooperation. Because that goal has not been fully achieved and because the U.N. has been misused, today's world is too often fraught with strife, division, and conflict. But, despite the abuse and shortcomings, the United Nations can still be instrumental in facilitating and overseeing agreements to end conflict, in providing a center for reducing tensions through dialogue and debate, and in addressing the problems of underdevelopment which can spur conflict.
Americans can take pride in having provided significant moral, political, and financial support for the United Nations since its inception. That support will be maintained and the United States will continue to play a prominent role in the organization, using it to champion the values and ideals which underlie our own society and which originally helped to inspire the formation of the United Nations.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Sunday, October 24, 1982, as United Nations Day. On this day I urge all Americans to better acquaint themselves with the activities and accomplishments of the United Nations.
I have appointed Robert Anderson to serve as 1982 United States National Chairman for United Nations Day and welcome the role of the United Nations Association of the United States of America in working with him to celebrate this special day.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of Sept., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eightytwo, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh.

# Proclamation 4971

Delivered on 14 September 1982.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
As we strive to improve our military preparedness to further our goals of a lasting peace and freedom, we look for special inspiration to our disabled veterans who have so nobly sacrificed for these ideals. Few others have so fully demonstrated great courage or endured such hardships for their country and the cause of liberty.
All Americans owe a great debt of gratitude to the over two million service-disabled veterans. The immense personal adversity suffered by these our fellow countrymen is incalculable in terms of diminished health, lost career opportunities, and restricted personal fulfillment. We are also keenly aware of the substantial tragedy these injuries pose for the families of these veterans who, along with their loved ones, must shoulder the weight of this burden.
The important contributions to the national welfare made by these gallant men and women, not only in their military service but also in their later civilian activities, are a source of pride and admiration to each of us and serve as an illuminating lesson in valor and fortitude.
It is most fitting that Congress has chosen to recognize this record of distinguished service, courage, and accomplishment through passage of a joint resolution authorizing designation of "National Disabled Veterans Week."
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning November 7, 1982, as National Disabled Veterans Week. I call upon all Americans to join in honoring those who have given so much in the defense of freedom. I ask Government agencies at all levels, and private organizations and individuals to observe this week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of Sept., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eightytwo, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh.

# Proclamation 4973

Delivered on 21 September 1982.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
The spontaneous formation on November 9, 1976, in Kiev, Ukraine, of the Ukrainian Public Group to Promote the Implementation of the Helsinki Accords affirmed once more that the human spirit cannot be crushed and that the desire for human freedom cannot be conquered.
The long prison terms meted out to members of the Ukrainian Helsinki Monitoring Group for their courageous activities to secure greater freedom in Ukraine are graphic testimony to the inability of Communism to compete with the principles of freedom in the marketplace of ideas. The flagrant persecution and imprisonment of Ukrainian citizens for their attempts to exercise basic human rights is an international embarrassment to the Soviet Union and proof that the Soviet Union has failed to live up to its pledges to honor the understandings embodied in the Helsinki Accords.
In commemorating this sixth anniversary of the founding of the Ukrainian Helsinki Monitoring Group, we renew our determination never to forget the valiant struggle of the peoples of Ukraine for their inalienable rights, and we pledge to do all we can to ameliorate the plight of those Ukrainians who have been persecuted by the Soviet authorities for attempting to assert their rights.
By a concurrent resolution agreed to on June 21, 1982 (H. Con. Res. 205), the Congress authorized and requested the President to proclaim November 9, 1982, the sixth anniversary of the establishment of the Ukrainian Public Group to Promote the Implementation of the Helsinki Accords, as a day honoring that Group.
On this day Americans are reminded of the preciousness of our own freedom, and we reaffirm our cherished hope that the aspiration for freedom will ultimately prevail over the morally bankrupt rule of force which denies human rights to so many in the world today.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate November 9, 1982, as a day honoring the sixth anniversary of the establishment of the Ukrainian Public Group to Promote the Implementation of the Helsinki Accords.
In Witness Whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 21st day of Sept. in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eightytwo, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh.

# Proclamation 4974

Delivered on 23 September 1982.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
The National School Lunch Program-now in its 36th year-operates to provide nutritious and well-balanced meals for needy young people of our country. School lunch is an outstanding example of a close partnership of the Federal government with State governments and local communities to provide food, funds, and technical assistance for our efforts to provide nutrition assistance to these students.
The children and youth of our Nation are our greatest resource. The School Lunch Program demonstrates our awareness, our concern, and our willingness to work together to promote the health and well-being of our needy youth.
There are over 23 million lunches served every day in over 90,000 schools throughout the country. In an era of limited public resources, this effort is being met by resourceful and creative efforts at all levels of government and through the cooperation of parents, teachers, and civic groups.
By joint resolution approved on October 9, 1962, the Congress designated the week beginning on the second Sunday of October in each year as National School Lunch Week and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for observance of that week.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby urge the people of the United States to observe the week of October 10, 1982, as National School Lunch Week and to give special and deserved recognition to those people at the State and local level who, through their innovative efforts, have made it possible to have a successful school lunch program.
In Witness Whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 23rd day of Sept. in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eightytwo, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh.

# Proclamation 4977

Delivered on 24 September 1982.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
In our country today there are approximately 20,000 to 30,000 young people afflicted with cystic fibrosis-a genetic disease that will prevent most of them from reaching full adulthood. Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease that strikes American children; its cause and cure are still a mystery, and its effects pose formidable obstacles to normal activity throughout its victims' brief lives.
In the past twenty-five years, medical research has achieved measurable success in treating the symptoms of cystic fibrosis and in extending the lives of children born with the disease. The promise of further advances and the courage demonstrated each day by the suffering victims spur intensified research efforts.
With continuing attention to the many scientific questions yet to be answered and improved public awareness of the benefits of early diagnosis of this disease, there is good cause for optimism that cystic fibrosis can be overcome. The combined efforts of dedicated researchers and volunteers committed to the challenge of cystic fibrosis are a wellspring of hope for patients and their families, and the millions of Americans who may unknowingly carry the genetic trait that produces cystic fibrosis.
Acknowledging the progress of the last twenty-five years, and recognizing the compelling need to expand on past efforts to combat this fatal disorder, the Congress has, by Senate Joint Resolution 186, designated September 19 through 25, 1982, as National Cystic Fibrosis Week, declaring it as a time to consider the profound impact of the disease and the growing sense of hopefulness for the future of cystic fibrosis victims.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning September 19, 1982, as National Cystic Fibrosis Week and call upon the people of the United States to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
In Witness Whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 24th day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh.
