# The International Development of China/Appendix 5

APPENDIX V
Peking, June 17, 1919.
Hon. Sun Yat Sen, Shanghai.
Dear Sir:
Permit me as a professional railway man to express my pleasure with your article appearing in the Far Eastern Review for June.
I will not at this time express approval or disapproval of the route which you have chosen but the idea of a line to connect up the great agricultural interior with the densely populated coast appeals to me strongly. I feel that you are making a definite contribution to railway economic theory in this respect, whereas the line itself would relieve congestion, open up a production area which would lower food costs, furnish employment to large numbers of soldiers to be disbanded, and put in circulation a large amount of hard money which would go far to correct the currency situation.
I am especially pleased to have your article appear at this time for I had already written one at the request of the publishers of the forthcoming "Trans-Pacific" magazine in which I touched upon the same line of ​thought. This will not appear until July and your opinions will have done much to prepare the minds of sceptics upon the subject by that time.
I trust that this intrusion of an entire stranger may be pardoned, and that you will continue to support the thought which you have so ably presented.
Very truly yours,
(Signed)
J. E. Baker.
# The International Development of China/Appendix 3

APPENDIX III
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Office of the Secretary Washington
May 12, 1919.
Hon. Sun Yat Sen, 29 Rue Molière, Shanghai, China.
Your Excellency:
I have read with the greatest interest the project for the International Development of China enclosed in your letter of March 17th, and agree with you that the economic development of China would be of the greatest advantage, not only to China, but to the whole of mankind.
The plans you propose, however, are so complex and extensive that it will take many years to work them out in detail. You doubtless are fully aware that it would take billions of dollars to carry out even a small portion of your proposals and that most of them would not be able to pay interest charges and expenses of operation for some years. The first question to be ​decided, therefore, is how the interest charges on the necessary loans could be met. The revenues of the Chinese Republic are already too heavily burdened with the interest charges on existing Government loans to warrant further charges, and hence it would seem necessary for the present to limit the projects for development to those which seem sufficiently remunerative to attract private capital. The government of the United States has consistently endeavored to manifest its disinterested friendship for the people of China and will undoubtedly coöperate in every proper way in proposals to advance their best interests.
Please accept my thanks for your kindness in submitting your proposals.
Respectfully,
(Signed)
William C. Redfield, Secretary.

# The Ingoldsby Legends/Raising the Devil

​To whom is the name of Cornelius Agrippa otherwise than familiar, since a 'Magician,' of renown not inferior to his own, has brought him and his terrible 'Black Book' again before the world?—That he was celebrated, among other exploits, for raising the Devil, we are all well aware;—how he performed this feat,—at least one, and that, perhaps, the most certain method, by which he did it,—is thus described.
RAISING THE DEVIL
A LEGEND OF CORNELIUS AGRIPPA
'AND hast thou nerve enough?' he said, That grey Old Man, above whose head Unnumber'd years had roll'd,— And hast thou nerve to view,' he cried, The incarnate Fiend that Heaven defied!— —Art thou indeed so bold?'
'Say, canst Thou, with unshrinking gaze, Sustain, rash youth, the withering blaze Of that unearthly eye, That blasts where'er it lights,—the breath That, like the Simoom, scatters death On all that yet can die!
—'Darest thou confront that fearful form, That rides the whirlwind, and the storm, In wild unholy revel!— The terrors of that blasted brow, Archangel's once,—though ruin'd now— —Aye,—dar'st thou face The Devil?'—
'I dare!' the desperate Youth replied, And placed him by that Old Man's side, In fierce and frantic glee, Unblench'd his cheek, and firm his limb —No paltry juggling Fiend, but Him! —The Devil!—I fain would see!—
'In all his Gorgon terrors clad, His worst, his fellest shape!' the Lad Rejoin'd in reckless tone.— —'Have then thy wish!' Agrippa said, And sigh'd and shook his hoary head, With many a bitter groan.
​He drew the mystic circle's bound, With skull and cross-bones fenc'd around; He traced full many a sigil there; He mutter'd many a backward pray'r, That sounded like a curse— 'He comes!'—he cried with wild grimace, 'The fellest of Apollyon's race!'— —Then in his startled pupil's face He dash'd—an Empty Purse!!

THE
HISTORY
OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA,
FROM ITS ORIGIN TO THE YEAR 1827,
BY GEORGE B. WOOD, M. D.
Read before the Council of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, October 29th, 1827.
AND
PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE COUNCIL.
McCARTY & DAVIS, No. 171, MARKET STREET.
1834.
# The History of the University of Pennsylvania/Preface

Preface.
The author of the following sketch, having been appointed to deliver the anniversary address before the Philomathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania, in the year 1826, was induced to make some investigations into the history of that institution, the results of which were stated, in general terms, on the occasion referred to. In the course of his inquiries, numerous facts presented themselves, which, though not sufficiently important to claim a place in a brief address, appeared to him too much so to be passed over with neglect; and the idea occurred to him, that a history of the University, for the preparation of which he possessed some materials, was due to the relation in which the Institution was placed to the state and city, and might prove interesting, if not serviceable to the community. He accordingly extended his researches, and having accumulated such additional facts and information as appeared essential to the purpose, drew up the following account of the school, and presented it to the Historical Society, as a body peculiarly interested in whatever concerns the past or present affairs of Pennsylvania, and one to whose judgment he was desirous of submitting ​the question of publication, It is proper to state, that, in the collection of his materials, the author had access to the minutes of the University from its origin, in the form of an Academy, in 1749, to the period at which the history closes. His other sources of information were the works of Dr. Franklin and Dr. William Smith, the periodical journals and newspapers, the public documents of the state, and oral or written communications from gentlemen connected with the school. The reader is requested to bear in mind, that the following historical sketch was prepared in the early part of the year 1827; as otherwise he might be led into error, by considering as applicable to the present time, the references which are frequently made to the period at which the author wrote. It would be a satisfaction to the author, to have it in his power to continue the narration down to the present date, and to conclude with an accurate account of the. school as it now exists; but the engrossing nature of his avocations renders this impossible; and he will be under the necessity of contenting himself with some brief notices, in the way of notes or appendix, in relation to points in which the most interesting changes have occurred.
