# The New International Encyclopædia/Annapolis Convention, The

Edition of 1905. See also Annapolis Convention (1786) on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ ANNAPOLIS CONVEN′TION, The. A convention held at Annapolis, Md., September 11, 1786, to consider the question of intercolonial commerce and discuss some proposed alterations in the Articles of Confederation. Commissioners from only five States, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, were present (though New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and North Carolina had appointed delegates, who did not attend); and the Convention accordingly adjourned after recommending that a convention of all the States be called for the purpose of rendering “the Constitution of the Federal Government adequate to the exigencies of the Union.” This led to the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Anna Karenina

Edition of 1905. See also Anna Karenina on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ANNA KARENINA, än'nȧ kȧ-rā'nyḗ-nȧ. One of Count Tolstoy's novels, which first appeared serially in a Moscow publication, from 1875 to 1878. It is a powerful study of the effects of passion upon human life, and is by many considered the author's greatest work.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Anquetil, Louis Pierre

Edition of 1905. See also Louis-Pierre Anquetil on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ANQUETIL, äNk'tḗl', Louis Pierre (1723-1806). A French historian. At the age of seventeen he joined the congregation of St. Geneviève; was director of the Seminary of Rheims, and afterward director of the College of Senlis. In the Reign of Terror he was imprisoned in St. Lazare. He was an early member of the Institute, and secured a place as archivist in the department of foreign affairs under Napoleon. His best work was his Histoire de Reims (1756-57). He also wrote several volumes of memoirs, such as Louis XIV., sa cour et le régent (1789), and an incomplete Histoire de France depuis les Gaules jusqu'à la fin de la monarchie (1805).
# The New International Encyclopædia/Anna Comnena

Edition of 1905. See also Anna Komnene on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ANNA COMNE'NA (1083-1148?). Author of one of the most valuable works in the collection of the Byzantine Historians. She was the daughter of the Emperor Alexius I. (Comnenus), and was born on December 1, 1083. She received the best education that Constantinople could give, and was betrothed to the son of Michael VII. After the death of her fiancé, she married Nicephorus Briennius. During the last illness of her father, she entered into a scheme, which her mother, the Empress Irene, also favored, to induce him to disinherit his eldest surviving son, John, and to bestow the diadem on her husband. As a punishment, Anna, with her mother, was shut up in a convent, where she remained until the death of her brother in 1143. The date of her death is unknown, but she was still at work on her history in 1148. She entitled this work ​the Alexiad. The first two books treat of the history of the Empire from the time of Isaac Comnenus; the remaining thirteen books are devoted to the reign of Alexius. Chronologically, Anna is sometimes at fault, and she omits purposely many events; but as a whole her work has great merit. The best edition is that of Schopen and Reifferscheid, 2 volumes (Bonn, 1839-78). Consult: Chalandon, Règne d'Alexis I. (Paris, 1900); and Oster, Anna Komnena (Rastatt, 1868-71).
# The New International Encyclopædia/Annapolis (Maryland)

Edition of 1905. See also Annapolis, Maryland on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ ANNAPOLIS. The capital of Maryland, port of entry, and county seat of Anne Arundel County, on the Severn River, about 2 miles from Chesapeake Bay, 26 miles south by east of Baltimore and 37 miles by rail from Washington, D. C. It is on the Annapolis and Baltimore Short Line, and the Annapolis, Washington and Baltimore Railroad, and is connected by boat with Baltimore and other points on the bay (Map: Maryland, M 5). Among the more prominent points of interest are the Governor's House, a tine State House, the county buildings, the United States Naval Academy (q.v.), St. John's College, founded in 1789, and statues of Chief Justice Taney and General De Kalb. The city has a fine harbor, and is the seat of an extensive oyster-canning industry, the product being largely exported. Pop., 1890, 7604; 1900, 8525.
In 1608 Captain John Smith visited the site of Annapolis, but no settlement was made until 1649, when a company of Puritans from Virginia established here the town of “Providence” (later changed successively to “Proctor's,” “The Town,” “Anne-Arundel Town,” and, finally, in honor of Queen Anne, to “The Town of Annapolis”). In 1694 the capital of the province was moved hither from St. Mary's, and in 1708 (August 10), Annapolis was erected into a city. Early in the eighteenth century one of the first free schools on the continent was organized here. Out of this St. John's College (q.v.) later developed. On May 25,1774, the citizens passed resolutions of sympathy for Boston, whose port had recently been closed, and on October 18, the brig Peggy Stewart, laden with tea, was publicly burned. On December 23, 1783, Washington surrendered to Congress, sitting temporarily at Annapolis, his commission as commander-in-chief. In 1845 the United States Naval Academy was established here. Consult: Ridgely, Annals of Annapolis to 1812 (Baltimore, 1841); and a sketch in Powell's Historic Towns of the Southern States (New York, 1900).
# The New International Encyclopædia/Annarr

Edition of 1905. See also Annar on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ ANNARR′, or ONARR′. In Norse mythology, the husband of Nött (night), and father of Jörd (the earth).
# The New International Encyclopædia/Annas

Edition of 1905. See also Annas and Ananus ben Ananus on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ AN′NAS (Heb., merciful). A Jewish high-priest, appointed by Quirinius in 6 A.D., and deposed by Valerius Gratus in 15 A.D. He, no doubt, continued to exercise great influence, as the office was held by five of his sons, Eleazar, Jonathan, Theophilus, Avan, and Matthias, and by his son-in-law, Joseph, surnamed Caiaphas, between 18 A.D. and 36 A.D. The wealth of “the house of Annas” was to some extent derived from the booths, where they provided all kinds of materials for sacrifice. By this monopoly they made the temple “a den of robbers,” and drew down upon themselves the curses of the Pharisees as well as the indignation of Jesus. The influential position of Annas may have led to the erroneous statement of Luke, that there were two high-priests, Annas and Caiaphas (iii: 2), and the consequent Johannine account of a separate trial of Jesus, before Annas (xviii: 13-27). A son of Annas, by the same name, was appointed high-priest by Agrippa II. in 62 A.D. He is said to have put to death James, the brother of Jesus; but the passage of Josephus (Ant. xx: 9) which relates this is probably a Christian interpolation.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Annates

Edition of 1905. See also Annates on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ ANNATES, ăn′nā̇ts, or First Fruits. In ecclesiastical law, the value of every spiritual living for a whole year (hence the name, from the Lat. annus, a year), which the Pope, claiming the disposition of every spiritual benefice within Christendom, reserved out of every living. This impost was at first only levied from persons appointed to bishoprics; but it was afterward extended to the inferior clergy. The value of these annates was calculated according to a rate made under the direction of Pope Innocent IV. (1253 A.D.), but which was afterward increased by Pope Nicholas III. (1292 A.D.). The valuation of Pope Nicholas is still preserved in the exchequer. This Papal exaction was abolished by the Act 25 Henry VIII. c. 20, and by an act passed in the following year of the same reign (26 Henry VIII. c. 3), the right to annates, or first fruits, was annexed to the crown. The various statutes subsequently passed on this subject have all been consolidated by an act (1 Vict. c. 20) regulating the collection of the moneys so levied. See First Fruits; Queen Anne's Bounty.
# The Mystery of the Blue Train/Chapter 36

CHAPTER XXXVI
BY THE SEA
The mimosa was nearly over. The scent of it in the air was faintly unpleasant. There were pink geraniums twining along the balustrade of Lady Tamplin's villa, and masses of carnations below sent up a sweet, heavy perfume. The Mediterranean was at its bluest. Poirot sat on the terrace with Lenox Tamplin. He had just finished telling her the same story he had told to Van Aldin two days before. Lenox had listened to him with absorbed attention, her brows knitted and her eyes sombre.
When he had finished she said simply:
"And Derek?"
"He was released yesterday."
"And he has gone—where?"
"He left Nice last night."
"For St. Mary Mead?"
"Yes, for St. Mary Mead."
There was a pause.
"I was wrong about Katherine,” said Lenox. "I thought she did not care."
"She is very reserved. She trusts no one."
"She might have trusted me," said Lenox, with a shade of bitterness.
"Yes," said Poirot gravely, "she might have trusted you. But Mademoiselle Katherine has spent a great deal of her life listening, and those who have listened ​do not find it easy to talk; they keep their sorrows and joys to themselves and tell no one."
"I was a fool," said Lenox; "I thought she really cared for Knighton. I ought to have known better. I suppose I thought so because—well, I hoped so."
Poirot took her hand and gave it a little friendly squeeze. "Courage, Mademoiselle," he said gently.
Lenox looked very straight out across the sea, and her face, in its ugly rigidity, had for the moment a tragic beauty.
"Oh, well," she said at last, "it would not have done. I am too young for Derek; he is like a kid that has never grown up. He wants the Madonna touch."
There was a long silence, then Lenox turned to him quickly and impulsively. "But I did help, Monsieur Poirot—at any rate I did help."
"Yes, Mademoiselle. It was you who gave me the first inkling of the truth when you said that the person who committed the crime need not have been on the train at all. Before that, I could not see how the thing had been done."
Lenox drew a deep breath.
"I am glad," she said; "at any rate—that is something."
From far behind them there came a long-draw-out scream of an engine's whistle.
"That is that damned Blue Train," said Lenox. "Trains are relentless things, aren't they, Monsieur Poirot? People are murdered and die, but they go on just the same. I am talking nonsense, but you know what I mean."
"Yes, yes, I know. Life is like a train, Mademoiselle. ​It goes on. And it is a good thing that that is so."
"Why?"
"Because the train gets to its journey's end at last, and there is a proverb about that in your language, Mademoiselle."
"'Journeys end in lovers meeting.'" Lenox laughed. "That is not going to be true for me."
"Yes—yes, it is true. You are young, younger than you yourself know. Trust the train, Mademoiselle, for it is le bon Dieu who drives it."
The whistle of the engine came again.
"Trust the train, Mademoiselle," murmured Poirot again. "And trust Hercule Poirot. He knows."

# The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman/Volume 6/Chapter 18

CHAP. XVIII.
We should begin, said my father, turning himself half round in bed, and shifting his pillow a little towards my mother's, as he opened the debate—We should begin to think, Mrs. Shandy, of putting this boy into breeches.———
We should so,—said my mother.—We defer it, my dear, quoth my father, shamefully.———
I think we do, Mr. Shandy,—said my mother.
—Not but the child looks extremely well, said my father, in his vests and tunicks.———
​—He does look very well in them,—replied my mother.———
—And for that reason it would be almost a sin, added my father, to take him out of 'em.———
—It would so,—said my mother:—But indeed he is growing a very tall lad,—rejoin'd my father.
—He is very tall for his age, indeed,—said my mother.———
—I can not (making two syllables of it) imagine, quoth my father, who the duce he takes after.———
I cannot conceive, for my life,—said my mother.———
​Humph!—said my father.
(The dialogue ceased for a moment.)
—I am very short myself,—continued my father, gravely.
You are very short, Mr. Shandy,—said my mother.
Humph! quoth my father to himself, a second time: in muttering which, he plucked his pillow a little further from my mother's,—and turning about again, there was an end of the debate for three minutes and a half.
—When he gets these breeches made, cried my father in a higher tone, he'll look like a beast in 'em.
​He will be very aukward in them at first, replied my mother.———
—And 'twill be lucky, if that's the worst on't, added my father.
It will be very lucky, answered my mother.
I suppose, replied my father,—making some pause first,—he'll be exactly like other people's children.———
Exactly, said my mother.———
—Though I should be sorry for that, added my father: and so the debate stopped again.
—They should be of leather, said my father, turning him about again.—​They will last him, said my mother, the longest.
But he can have no linings to 'em, replied my father.———
He cannot, said my mother.
'Twere better to have them of fustian, quoth my father.
Nothing can be better, quoth my mother.———
—Except dimity,—replied my father:—'Tis best of all,—replied my mother.
—One must not give him his death, however,—interrupted my father.
By no means, said my mother:—and so the dialogue stood still again.
​I am resolved, however, quoth my father, breaking the silence the fourth time, he shall have no pockets in them.———
—There is no occasion for any, said my mother.———
I mean in his coat and waistcoat,—cried my father.
—I mean so too,—replied my mother.
—Though if he gets a gig or a top—Poor souls! it is a crown and a scepter to them,—they should have where to secure it.———
Order it as you please, Mr. Shandy, replied my mother.——— ​—But don't you think it right? added my father, pressing the point home to her.
Perfectly, said my mother, if it pleases you, Mr. Shandy.———
—There's for you! cried my father, losing temper—Pleases me!—You never will distinguish, Mrs. Shandy, nor shall I ever teach you to do it, betwixt a point of pleasure and a point of convenience.—This was on the Sunday night;—and further this chapter sayeth not.

We are now going to enter upon a new scene of events.———
—Leave we then the breeches in the taylor's hands, with my father stand- ​ing over him with his cane, reading him as he sat at work a lecture upon the latus clavus, and pointing to the precise part of the waistband, where he was determined to have it sewed on.———
Leave we my mother—(truest of all the Poco-curante's of her sex!)—careless about it, as about every thing else in the world which concerned her;—that is,—indifferent whether it was done this way or that,—provided it was but done at all.—
Leave we Slop likewise to the full profits of all my dishonours.———
Leave we poor Le Fever to recover, and get home from Marseilles as he can.—And last of all,—because the hardest of all———
​Let us leave, if possible, myself:—But 'tis impossible,—I must go along with you to the end of the work.

CHAP. XIV.
What a jovial and a merry world would this be, may it please your worships, but for that inextricable labyrinth of debts, cares, woes, want, grief, ​discontent, melancholy, large jointures, impositions, and lies!
Doctor Slop, like a son of a w———, as my father called him for it,—to exalt himself,—debased me to death,—and made ten thousand times more of Susannah's accident, than there was any grounds for; so that in a week's time, or less, it was in every body's mouth, That poor Master Shandy ************ entirely.—And Fame, who loves to double every thing,—in three days more, had sworn positively she saw it,—and all the world, as usual, gave credit to her evidence—"That the nursery window had now only ************************;—but that ********************'s also."
​Could the world have been sued like a body-corporate,—my father had brought an action upon the case, and trounced it sufficiently; but to fall foul of individuals about it—as every soul who had mentioned the affair, did it with the greatest pity imaginable;—'twas like flying in the very face of his best friends:—And yet to acquiesce under the report, in silence—was to acknowledge it openly,—at least in the opinion of one half of the world; and to make a bustle again, in contradiction it,—was to confirm it as strongly in the opinion of the other half.———
—Was ever poor devil of a country gentleman so hampered? said my father.
​I would shew him publickly, said my uncle Toby, at the market cross.
—'Twill have no effect, said my father.
# The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman/Volume 6/Chapter 16

CHAP. XVI.
There are a thousand resolutions, Sir, both in church and state, as well as in matters, Madam, of a more private concern;—which, though they have carried all the appearance in the world of being taken, and entered upon in a hasty, hare-brained, and unadvised manner, were, notwithstanding this, ​(and could you or I have got into the cabinet, or stood behind the curtain, we should have found it was so) been weighed, poized, and perpended—argued upon—canvassed through—entered into, and examined on all sides with so much coolness, that the goddess of coolness herself (I do not take upon me to prove her existence) could neither have wished it, or done it better.
Of the number of these was my father's resolution of putting me into breeches; which, though determined at once,—in a kind of huff, and a defiance of all mankind, had, nevertheless, been pro'd and conn'd, and judicially talked over betwixt him and my mother about a month before, in two several beds of justice, which my father had held for that purpose. I shall explain the ​nature of these beds of justice in my next chapter; and in the chapter following that, you shall step with me, Madam, behind the curtain, only to hear in what kind of manner my father and my mother debated between themselves, this affair of the breeches,—from which you may form an idea, how they debated all lesser matters.
# The Mating of the Blades/Chapter 18
### CHAPTER XVIII

The wisdom of the old—which is, of course, the End.
Not many days later—the day following the departure of Mr. Ezra Warburton and Mr. Preserved Higgins who, enemies to the last, had interviewed Hector individually and separately on the question of the “concessions,” to be met with the reply: “I'll grant no concessions to anybody. Tamerlanistan will be developed. But not with foreign money, nor for foreign profit. Through our own work—for our own profit!” … not many days later, the princess, turning to Hector at the end of the daily durbar, said that she was a little depressed.
“About what?” asked Hector.
“About Hajji Akhbar Khan, Itizad el-Dowleh. He sent thee here—and thus, indirectly, thy brother! His hand was the hand of benevolence and wisdom from the beginning. Yet has he never returned from the far places—has he never explained why he sent thee as he did send thee—without telling thee word of the ancient prophecy—why he let thee go blindfolded, to battle against Fate!”
And the answer came, a week or two afterwards, in a letter delivered by a messenger who came mysteriously and disappeared mysteriously.
It bore neither date nor place, and read as follows:
“By the will of Allah, the One, the King of Men, the King of the Day of Judgment, may this letter be safely delivered into the hands of Aziza Nurmahal, Gengizkhani.
“A prophecy is a prophecy. But a human heart is a human heart, a human soul is a human soul, and it is only the dust and the grime and the sufferings which purify the truly great. Thus, when Al Nakia came to me, I gave him but little help. Nor did I tell him of the prophecy. For Tamerlanistan needed a man who could follow his own mind, unhampered, unclogged, by prophecies and traditions.
“If, thus, Al Nakia proved himself to be a good and strong man, the prophecy proved true; if he proved himself bad and weak, the prophecy proved untrue.
“And it DID prove true!
“I am old. Thus wise. Thus, too, stubborn. I shall never, therefore, return to Tamerlanistan. For, while my stewardship was good in its time and generation, time changes, and customs, and conditions. And, being old and stubborn, I would doubtless disapprove of many innovations of which Al Nakia and his brother would approve. Thence would come unhappiness and bitterness. Therefore I shall never return.
“Gossip travels swiftly on wings. It travels East and West, North and South, even to the place where I shall live out my days.
“Thus do I know of the double wedding, the double fulfillment, and my old heart is happy at the double happiness, and just a little sad with envy—the envy of an old and useless man who, years, years ago, filled the caverns of his dreams and his life with words and deeds of love.
“May thou, Aziza Nurmahal, and the foreign woman bear as many man-children as there are hairs in my beard!
“Hajji Akhbar Khan, once Itizad el-Dowleh.”
