# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Fisher, John

​Fisher, John (c. 1469-1535).—Controversialist and scholar, b. at Beverley, and ed. at Camb., entered the Church, and became in 1504 Bishop of Rochester. He wrote in Latin against the doctrines of the Reformation, but was a supporter of the New Learning, and endeavoured to get Erasmus to teach Greek at Camb. Through his influence the Lady Margaret Professorship of Divinity were founded at both the Univ. by Margaret Countess of Richmond, ​and in 1502 he became first prof. at Camb., where he was also (1505-8) Head of Queen's Coll. He was also instrumental in founding Christ's and St. John's Coll. For opposing the divorce proceedings of Henry VIII. he was burned. Made a cardinal in 1535, he was beatified in 1886.

When I began to write this work, I divided it into three parts, supposing that one volume would contain a full discussion of the arguments which seemed to me to rise naturally from a few simple principles; but fresh illustrations occurring as I advanced, I now present only the first part to the public.
Many subjects, however, which I have cursorily alluded to, call for particular investigation, especially the laws relative to women, and the consideration of their peculiar duties. These will furnish ample matter for a second volume, which in due time will be published, to elucidate some of the sentiments, and complete many of the sketches begun in the first.

PUBLISHERS' PREFACE TO THIRD (ABRIDGED) EDITION.
In producing the present reprint of Sir Thomas Wade's great work in an abridged form, the Publishers have acted upon advice which was approved by Sir Walter Hillier — the joint Author of the 2nd edition published in 1886 — and also with the sanction of Sir Thomas Wade's executors.
Since 1886 so many new text-books on Colloquial Chinese have appeared, that much of the “Tzŭ Êrh Chi” has been superseded in the curriculum of studies prescribed for Student Interpreters in the British Legation. The “Hundred Lessons” and “Graduate’s Wooing” have been abandoned for many years in favour of other works, and as the “Tzŭ Êrh Chi” was primarily intended for the use of Consular Students it was decided for the time being at least to reprint only those Parts which have continued to hold their own as a text-book.
The present reprint contains therefore only Parts I. to IV., that is to say, the introductory Parts on Pronunciation and the Radicals, followed by the Forty Exercises and Ten Dialogues. In the opinion of competent authorities the student of Colloquial Pekingese has in these four Parts an introduction to the language which will not fail to appear to him more and more valuable as he progresses. The collection of characters to which he is introduced has been so carefully made, that a sound knowledge of them will furnish a solid foundation upon which further studies of the language can securely rest.
So much has been said and written for and against Sir Thomas Wade's system of transliteration that we will here add no more to this perennial argument than a request to the tyro: and that is, to remember that it is the only system of romanisation which has so far attained any widespread and lasting success.
As was explained in the Preface to the original edition, the title “Yü Yen Tzŭ Êrh Chi” was suggested by a passage in the Confucian work known as “The Doctrine of the Mean,” which implies that in the attainment of proficiency as in the accomplishment of a journey the start must be made from what is near. “Tzŭ Êrh” means “from what is near” while Yü Yen … Chi means “expressions (or spoken words) … collection (or compilation). The whole is therefore fairly rendered in the English title as a "Progressive Course in Colloquial Chinese.”

# A proof of the constancy of the velocity of light

Proceedings of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, 1913, 15 II: 1297-1298, Online
(Communicated in the meeting of February 22, 1913)
​In the theory of Ritz light emitted by a source moving with velocity u is propagated through space in the direction of the motion of the source with the velocity c+u, c being the velocity of light emitted by a motionless source. In other theories (Lorentz, Einstein ) the velocity of light is always c, independent of the motion of the source. Now it is easily seen that the hypothesis of Ritz leads to results which are absolutely inadmissible.
Consider one of the components of a double star, and an observer situated at a great distance Δ. Let at the time t, the projection of ​the star's velocity in the direction towards the observer be u. Then from the law of motion of the star we can derive an equation:
| $u=f(t-t_{0})\$ | (1) |
The light emitted by the star at the time t reaches the observer at the time $\tau =t+\Delta /c-au$. In Ritz's theory we have, neglecting the second and higher powers of $u/c,\ a=\Delta /c^{2}$. In other theories we have a=0. If now we put $\tau _{0}=t_{0}+\Delta /c$, we have
| $u=f(\tau -\tau _{0}+au)\$ or $u=\varphi (\tau -\tau _{0})$ | (2) |
The function φ will differ from f, unless au be immeasurably small. Therefore if one of the two equations (1) and (2) is in agreement with the laws of mechanics, the other is not. Now a is far from small. In the case of spectroscopic doubles u is not small, and consequently au can reach considerable amounts. Taking e.g. $u=100{\frac {KM}{sec}}$, and assuming a parallax of 0",1, from which $\Delta /c=33$ years, we find approximately au=4 days., i.e. entirely of the order of magnitude of the periodic time of the best known spectroscopic doubles.
Now the observed velocities of spectroscopic doubles, i. e. the equation (2), are as a matter of fact satisfactorily represented by a Keplerian motion. Moreover in many cases the orbit derived from the radial velocities is confirmed by visual observations (as for δ Equulei, ζ Herculis, etc.) or by eclipse-observations (as in Algol-variables). We can thus not avoid the conclusion that a=0, i.e. the velocity of light is independent of the motion of the source. Ritz's theory would force us to assume that the motion of the double stars is governed not by Newton's law, but by a much more complicated law, depending on the star's distance from the earth, which is evidently absurd.

Admitted 14 April, 1819.
Eldest son of Richard Bethell, M.D., of Bradford, Wilts, where he was born 30 June, 1800. He early distinguished himself at the University of Oxford, where he graduated first class in Classics and second in Mathematics. He was called to the Bar 28 Nov. 1823, and in 1840 he became a Queen's Counsel. In 1844 he was Reader at the Inn and was elected Treasurer in 1848. Having entered Parliament as a supporter of the Liberal Government, he was made, first, Solicitor, and then Attorney-General, and on 26 June, 1861, succeeded to the office of Lord High Chancellor. This high office he resigned on 7 July, 1865. From that time to the date of his death, 20 July, 1873, in all law questions before the House of Lords, Lord Westbury took a leading part, and his decisions are of the highest authority. His inaugural and valedictory addresses before the Juridical Society, of which he was president, in 1855 and 1859, are printed in the Papers of that Society, but beyond these he left little or nothing in the way of legal literature, his fame depending entirely upon his well-remembered legal and other dicta.

Eldest son of John Drinkwater, of Fitzroy Square, the historian of the siege of Gibraltar. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and soon after his call to the Bar, 4 May, 1827, was employed as Counsel to the Home Office. In this position he drafted many important measures, including the Municipal Reform Act, the Tithe Commutation Act, and the County Courts Act. In 1848 he became a member of the Supreme Council of India, where he was helpful in passing many measures of reform, and where his name is identified with the establishment of a school for educating native girls of the higher classes, known as Bethune's Girls' School, now taken over by the State. He died at Calcutta, 12 Aug. 1851.

Admitted 3 May, 1624.
Fourth son of Sir Maurice Berkeley, of Bruton, Somerset. He was educated at Oxford, where he graduated M.A. in 1629. In 1632 he was a Commissioner in Canada, and on his return became Gentleman of the Privy Chamber to Charles I. He was appointed Governor of Virginia in 1641, and when there gave asylum to the Royalist exiles, by which he incurred the displeasure of the Parliament, who deposed him. At the Restoration he was reappointed, and continued to administer the Government till the year before his death in 1677.
He was the author of a Play, entitled The Lost Lady, published in 1638, and of an unpublished one, entitled Cornelia, written in 1662.

Admitted 22 October, 1733.
Only son of the Rev. Francis Bernard, Rector of Brightwell, Berkshire. He was educated at Westminster and Oxford, and was an excellent classical scholar. He was called to the Bar 29 April, 1737, and was for some time Steward of Lincoln and Recorder of Boston, but in 1758 he was sent as Governor of New Jersey, and thence transferred to the Governorship of Massachusetts Bay in 1760. Here, whilst ably carrying out the policy of the Government, he made himself obnoxious to the colonists, and it was on his representation that troops were dispatched to Boston, an act which greatly intensified their disaffection. In 1769 he was created a baronet, but was recalled from the Colony, to which he never returned. He was Reader at the Inn in 1779, and died at Aylesbury on 16 June of the same year. He took a great interest in Harvard University, and raised funds on its behalf when it suffered from fire.
He published several series of Letters from America. Also an edition of The Latin Odes of Anthony Alsop (1752).

Fourth son of Montague, second Earl of Lindsey, and Lord Chamberlain, to which high connexion he was probably indebted for his advancement. He was called to the Bar 10 June, 1659, became a Bencher of his Inn 23 Jan. 1673-4, a Serjeant-at-Law 1675, and in the same year a Baron of the Exchequer. Three years afterwards he was removed to the Common Pleas, where, however, he sat only for ten months, when he was removed from his office, for what reason does not clearly appear. He died 23 Feb. 1680, and was buried in the Temple Church.

Third son of Thomas Best, of Haselbury, Somerset, where he was born 13 Dec. 1767. He was educated at Oxford, and called to the Bar 6 Nov. 1789. He early acquired a large practice, and became a Serjeant-at-Law in 1800. In 1802 he entered Parliament as member for Petersfield, and was engaged in the impeachment of Lord Melville. He enjoyed the favour of the Prince of Wales, whose Attorney-General he was, and in 1818 he became a Judge of the King's Bench. Five years later he was advanced to the head of the Court of Common Pleas, but on account of bodily infirmities was obliged to retire in 1829, when, as a mark of royal favour, he was raised to the peerage, with the title of Baron Wynford. He died at his seat in Kent 3 March, 1845.

Eldest son of Rev. Peregrine Bingham, Rector of Edmondsham, Dorset. He was educated at Winchester and Oxford, and called to the Bar 27 Nov. 1818. He was a follower of Bentham, whose Book of Fallacies he edited, and a friend of the Austins, and a great contributor to the Westminster Review, under the editorship of John Stuart Mill. He became the Police Magistrate at Great Marlborough Street, but resigned about 1860. He died 2 Nov. 1864. He is known to lawyers chiefly by his Reports of Cases, from 1822 to 1840, published successively from 1824 to 1841; but he has left other works on Executions (1815); Infancy and Coverture (1816); On the Law of Landlord and Tenant (1820), and a System of Shorthand (1821).

Admitted 5 February, 1600-1.
Second son of Rowland Berkeley, a wealthy clothier of Worcester, in which city he was born 26 July, 1584. He was called to the Bar 6 May, 1608. On the death of his father in 1611, he became the possessor of his estate at Spetchley, and in 1613 served as High Sheriff for the county. In 1626 he became Autumn Reader at his Inn, and next year was nominated one of the King's Serjeants. From this time his name appears in the Reports. In 1632 he was knighted, and made a Judge of the King's Bench. In the great trial concerning ship-money, he pronounced his opinion against Hampden, and for this, when the Parliament were in power, he was impeached by the House of Commons, and in Oct. 1641, brought to the Bar of the House of Lords. After proceedings, protracted till 1643, he was condemned on all the charges against him, disabled from all public employments, fined in a sum of £20,000, and sentenced to imprisonment during the pleasure of the House. Half the fine was subsequently remitted, and he was able to continue his private practice, by which he acquired a good fortune for his family. During the time of his disgrace, the Roundheads destroyed his beautiful house at ​Spetchley, burning it to the ground. He died 5 Aug. 1656. Whitelocke (q.v.), though, of course, a political opponent, confesses him to be not only a very learned man, but "a good orator and judge, and moderate in his ways."

Second son of Sir Francis Bernard (q.v.). He was born at Lincoln, 27 April, 1750, while his father was Steward of that city. He was educated at Harvard University till the settlement of his father in England, when he entered the Middle Temple. He was called to the Bar 24 Nov. 1780, but having acquired a large fortune through marriage, he relinquished the law and devoted himself to schemes for the welfare of the working classes. He became a governor of the Foundling Hospital, and greatly increased its revenues by building upon its estates. In 1796 he projected the Society for the Bettering of the Poor, which led to the establishment in 1800 of a School for the Indigent Blind, and in 1801 of the Fever Institution. In conjunction with Count Rumford, Bernard originated the Royal Institution, Piccadilly (1800). In 1808 he established at Bishop Auckland a training school for teachers, the first of its kind. In 1812 he took an active part in the formation of a Society for the Relief of the Manufacturing Poor, and there was hardly ​a movement of this benevolent nature in which he did not take a part. He was largely instrumental in the reduction of the salt, duties. The labour in connexion with all these activities affected his health, and he died at Leamington, where he had gone for the benefit of the waters, 1 July, 1818. He had succeeded his brother as baronet in 1810. In addition to his other works, Sir Thomas employed his pen on several pamphlets on the subjects he had at heart, and was the author of An Historical View of Christianity (1806).

Admitted 29 November, 1816.
Only son of the Rev. James Bicheno, of Aston, Oxford, Nonconformist Minister. Before his call to the Bar he had written a pamphlet on the Nature of Benevolence (1817), which was an attack on the Poor Laws and their administration, and also a work on Criminal Jurisprudence (1819), and after his call on 17 May, 1822, he devoted himself chiefly to economic and scientific studies. He became a member of the chief learned societies, and Secretary to the Linnæan Society. In 1829, he made a tour through Ireland with Mr. Frederick Page (q.v.), a Bencher of his Inn, which resulted in the publication of a book on Ireland and its Economy (1830). In 1833 he sat on a Commission to inquire into the Condition of the Poor in Ireland, and assisted in drawing up its Reports. In 1842, he was appointed Colonial Secretary in Van Diemen's Land, where he died, 25 Feb. 1851. Besides the writings above mentioned, he contributed many papers to scientific journals on Botany and Natural History, His collection of plants is preserved in the Museum at Swansea.
# A tale of Paraguay/Proem

PROEM.
That was a memorable day for Spain, When on Pamplona's towers, so basely won, The Frenchmen stood, and saw upon the plain Their long-expected succours hastening on: Exultingly they mark'd the brave array, And deem'd their leader should his purpose gain, Tho' Wellington and England barr'd the way. Anon the bayonets glitter'd in the sun, And frequent cannon flash'd, whose lurid light Redden'd thro' sulphurous smoke: fast vollying round Roll'd the war-thunders, and with long rebound Backward from many a rock and cloud-capt height In answering peals Pyrene sent the sound.
Impatient for relief, toward the fight The hungry garrison their eye-balls strain: Vain was the Frenchman's skill, his valour vain; And even then, when eager hope almost Had moved their irreligious lips to prayer, Averting from the fatal scene their sight, They breathed the imprecations of despair. For Wellesley's star hath risen ascendant there; Once more he drove the host of France to flight, And triumph'd once again for God and for the right.
That was a day, whose influence far and wide The struggling nations felt; it was a joy Wherewith all Europe rung from side to side. Yet hath Pamplona seen in former time A moment big with mightier consequence, Affecting many an age and distant clime. That day it was which saw in her defence, Contending with the French before her wall, A noble soldier of Guipuzcoa fall, Sore hurt, but not to death. For when long care Restored his shatter'd leg and set him free,
He would not brook a slight deformity, As one who being gay and debonnair, In courts conspicuous, as in camps must be: So he forsooth a shapely boot must wear; And the vain man, with peril of his life, Laid the recovered limb again beneath the knife.
Long time upon the bed of pain he lay Whiling with books the weary hours away; And from that circumstance and this vain man A train of long events their course began, Whose term it is not given us yet to see. Who hath not heard Loyola's sainted name, Before whom Kings and Nations bow'd the knee? Thy annals, Ethiopia, might proclaim What deeds arose from that prolific day; And of dark plots might shuddering Europe tell. But Science too her trophies would display; Faith give the martyrs of Japan their fame; And Charity on works of love would dwell In California's dolorous regions drear; And where, amid a pathless world of wood.
Gathering a thousand rivers on his way, Huge Orellana rolls his affluent flood; And where the happier sons of Paraguay, By gentleness and pious art subdued, Bow'd their meek heads beneath the Jesuits' sway. And lived and died in filial servitude.
I love thus uncontroll'd, as in a dream, To muse upon the course of human things; Exploring sometimes the remotest springs, Far as tradition lends one guiding gleam; Or following, upon Thought's audacious wings, Into Futurity, the endless stream. But now in quest of no ambitious height, I go where truth and nature lead my way, And ceasing here from desultory flight, In measured strains I tell a Tale of Paraguay.
