# Royal Naval Biography/Tucker, William (b)

Layout 2
WILLIAM TUCKER (a), Esq. [Commander.]
Was made a lieutenant on the 26th Dec. 1822; and served with great credit under Commodore Bullen, on the African station, in 1824, 5, and 6.
On the 6th Sept. in the latter year, after capturing a beautiful Spanish schooner, the Nicanor, with 176 slaves on board. Lieutenant Tucker, then commanding the Maidstone’s tender, Hope, a schooner of five guns and twenty-six men, was ordered to scour the Bight of Benin, and examine more particularly Lago, Whydah, and Badagry. At Whydah there were no less than twelve vessels waiting for slaves; and one of these, a Brazilian brig of nine guns and seventy-six men, was taken by the Hope, after a gallant action of two hours and a half. A letter written by an officer of the squadron gives us the following particulars:–
“One of those vessels, a fine brig of 287 tons, had just come over from Rio Janeiro, with her water filled, slave-deck laid, and farina and yams on board. She was by her papers allowed to take 701 slaves. After examining her. Lieutenant Tucker was convinced she would be off in the course of a day or two; and, running out of sight, placed himself in a situation likely to intercept her. As he suspected, so it turned out, for ​the Hope was no sooner lost sight of, than the brig began to embark slaves, and in the course of three hours put to sea, with 587 men, women, and children on board. The next morning Tucker saw her, not far off, and, after a chase of twenty-eight hours, began an action with her, which was severely contested for two hours and a half, when, the Hope having two guns dismounted. Tucker made up his mind to board her, he being at this tune slightly wounded. Under a fine young man (Mr. Robert Lamport Pengelly) who headed the boarders, a sharp conflict took place, but the Brazilians at length laid down their arms and called for quarter. Pengelly was shot in the side in boarding, but went on. The brig had thirteen men killed and twelve wounded: the Hope not a man slain, and oidy three persons wounded: three of the poor Africans were killed and eleven wounded.
The commander of the Hope and his gallant assistant were both promoted on the 9th Dec. 1826. The former married, in Oct. 1827, Susannah Fortune, third daughter of Thomas Selby, Esq., of Otford Castle, Kent; the latter was lately serving as lieutenant of the Asia 84, on the Mediterranean station.
# Royal Naval Biography/Turner, William

Layout 2
WILLIAM TURNER, Esq. [Commander.]
Son of Mr. William Turner, wine-merchant, of Portsmouth, was made a lieutenant on the 30th May, 1823; and appointed to the Sybille frigate. Commodore (now Sir Francis A.) Collier, fitting out for the African station, in 1827. The following account of the action for which he was advanced to his present rank, is taken from the Hampshire Telegraph;–
“Portsmouth, July 12th, 1828.
“The Black Joke, Lieut. W. Turner, tender to the Sybille, on the 1st of May fell in with a Spanish privateer brig. The Black Joke had on board forty-three men, with one long gun on a swivel; the Spaniard mounted fourteen carriage guns, 12 and 24-pounders, on Gover’s principle, with a crew of eighty-seven men of all nations. Two days previously she had been boarded by the Sybille, and had exhibited a regular commission from the King of Spain, to cruise as a privateer against the vessels of the South American States. These two vessels fell in together in the night, and at day-light the Spaniard was observed with a red ensign (English); on approaching within hail, he promised to send a boat on board the Black Joke, but immediately afterwards said he had no boat that could swim, and requested one to be sent to him. Lieutenant Turner consequently sent a boat with two men and a master’s-mate, who were compelled to go on board the pirate, who immediately sent an officer and five men, in the same boat, to the Black Joke, with a demand to look at her papers. Lieut. Turner, not wishing to compromise the safety of his people on board the Spaniard, shewed his commission, and Commodore Collier’s order to cruise; which, after a parley, were desired to be sent to the privateer to be compared with the signature of the commodore, who had previously put his name to the back of the Spanish commission. Lieutenant Turner, however, prudently detained the officer and two men, as hostages for his own people. A demand was then made ​that the Black Joke should send fifteen of her crew on board the privateer, who would send the like number of men to the former, and that both vessels should go to Prince’s Island; this having been of course refused, the privateer immediately fired into the tender a broadside, when the Black Joke, taking a position on the Spaniard’s bow, engaged him for two hours, principally with grape-shot, and nearly unrigged him. The Spaniard then hoisted a flag of truce, and sent our people on board, whose lives had been several times attempted during the action, but who were saved solely by the intervention of the captain. The Spaniards would not confess what their loss had been; several wounded men, however, were seen. Fortunately, the Black Joke had none of her people hurt, though her sails and rigging were much cut up. Too much encomium cannot be given to Lieut. Turner, for his intrepidity and judgment on the occasion.”
For the gallantry he evinced in this action. Lieutenant Turner was made a commander by the Lord High Admiral, July 14th, 1828. He has since served on the African station, under Commodore John Hayes, in the Dryad frigate.

# Reflections upon Ancient and Modern Learning/Epistle

TO THE
Right Honourable
DANIEL
Earl of Nottingham,
Baron Finch of Daventry.
May it please Your Lordship,
SInce I am, upon many Accounts, obliged to lay the Studies and Labours of my Life at Your Lordship's Feet, it will not, I hope, be thought Presumption in me to make this following Address, which, on my Part, is an Act of Duty. ​I could not omit so fair an Opportunity of declaring how sensible I am of the Honour of being under Your Lordship's Patronage. The Pleasure of telling the World that one is raised by Men who are truly Great and Good, works too powerfully to be smothered in the Breast of him that feels it; especially since a Man is rarely censured for shewing it, but is rather commended for gratifying such an Inclination, when he thankfully publishes to whom he is indebted for all the Comforts and Felicities of his Life.
But Your Lordship has another Right to these Papers, which is equal to that of their ​being mine: The Matter it self directs me to Your Lordship as the proper Patron of the Cause, as well as of its Advocate. Those that enquire whether there is such a Spirit now in the World as animated the greatest Examples of Antiquity, must seek for living Instances, as well as abstracted Arguments; and those they must take care to produce to the best Advantage, if they expect to convince the World that they have found what they sought for.
This therefore being the Subject of this following Enquiry, it seemed necessary to urge the strongest Arguments ​first, and to prepossess the World in favour of my Cause, by this Dedication. For those that consider that the Vertues which make up a great Character, such as Magnanimity, Capacity for the highest Employments, Depth of Judgment, Sagacity, Elocution, and Fidelity, are united in as eminent a Degree in Your Lordship, as they are found asunder in the true Characters of the Ancient Worthies; that all this is rendred yet more Illustrious by Your Exemplary Piety and Concern for the Church of England, and Your Zeal for the Rights and Honour of the English Monarchy; and ​last of all, that these Vertues do so constantly descend from Father to Son in Your Lordship's Family, that its Collateral Branches are esteemed Publick Blessings to their Age and Country; will readily confess that the World does still improve, and will go no further than Your Lordship, to silence all that shall be so hardy as to dispute it.
Justice therefore, as well as Gratitude, oblige me to present these Papers to Your Lordship: Though, since I have taken the Freedom, in several Particulars, to dissent from a Gentleman, whose Writings have been very kindly received ​in the World, I am bound to declare, that the chief Reason of this Address was, to let the World see, that I have a Right to subscribe my self,
May it please Your Lordship,
Your Lordship's
Most Obliged,
And Most Dutiful
Servant and Chaplain,
William Wotton.

# Rush Holt: Supporting the Goals and Ideals of National Chemistry Week (2009)

Source: 2009 Congressional Record, Vol. 155, Page E2599
Supporting the Goals and Ideals of National Chemistry Week
HON. RUSH D. HOLT
OF NEW JERSEY IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday, October 20, 2009
Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H. Res. 793, supporting the goals and ideals of National Chemistry Week. I commend the gentleman from Texas, Mr. Reyes, for his continued support of this important celebration of chemistry.
This year marks the 22nd anniversary of National Chemistry Week, which is sponsored by the American Chemical Society. The event features outreach programs created by schools and businesses to educate communities and schoolchildren on the importance of chemistry in their everyday lives. The theme of this year's National Chemistry Week is "Chemistry--It's Elemental," which emphasizes the role that elements play in every aspect of our lives, from the air we breath to the cars we drive to the food we eat.
I applaud the ACS for their commitment to chemistry education at the elementary and secondary level. To maintain our nation's role as a leader in innovation in an increasingly globalized world, our young people will need to excel in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Training a new generation of chemists will also be essential for solving the world's most pressing issues, from fighting global warming to discovering vaccines for emerging diseases. This is why I am pleased that this year's event includes a national chemistry competition, the distribution of 10,000 Merck Indexes to science educators, and a website with biographies of chemists and online activities to inspire students to choose a career path in chemistry.
As important as this resolution is though, we need to do more in Congress right now to improve STEM education. A recent National Assessment of Education Progress showed that, for the first time since 1980, 4th graders made no progress in math performance between 2007 and 2009. Study after study highlights the need to strengthen math and science education so that our nation's students do not continue to lag behind others in developing the skills critical for global competitiveness.
Again, I commend Mr. Reyes and the ACS for their commitment to promoting a greater understanding of chemistry, and I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this important resolution.
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105).

# Rhymes of a Rolling Stone/The Scribe's Prayer

The Scribe’s Prayer
When from my fumbling hand the tired pen falls, And in the twilight weary droops my head; While to my quiet heart a still voice calls, Calls me to join my kindred of the Dead: Grant that I may, O Lord, ere rest be mine, Write to Thy praise one radiant, ringing line.
For all of worth that in this clay abides, The leaping rapture and the ardent flame, The hope, the high resolve, the faith that guides: All, all is Thine, and liveth in Thy name: Lord, have I dallied with the sacred fire! Lord, have I trailed Thy glory in the mire!
E’en as a toper from the dram-shop reeling, Sees in his garret’s blackness, dazzling fair, All that he might have been, and, heart-sick, kneeling, Sobs in the passion of a vast despair: So my ideal self haunts me alway — When the accounting comes, how shall I pay?
For in the dark I grope, nor understand; And in my heart fight selfishness and sin: Yet, Lord, I do not seek Thy helping hand; Rather let me my own salvation win: Let me through strife and penitential pain Onward and upward to the heights attain.
Yea, let me live my life, its meaning seek; Bear myself fitly in the ringing fight; Strive to be strong that I may aid the weak; Dare to be true — O God! the Light, the Light! Cometh the Dark so soon. I’ve mocked Thy Word; Yet do I know Thy Love: have mercy, Lord....

# Rhymes of a Rolling Stone/The World's All Right

The World’s All Right
Be honest, kindly, simple, true;  Seek good in all, scorn but pretence;  Whatever sorrow come to you,  Believe in Life’s Beneficence!
The World’s all right; serene I sit, And cease to puzzle over it. There’s much that’s mighty strange, no doubt; But Nature knows what she’s about; And in a million years or so We’ll know more than to-day we know. Old Evolution’s under way —  What ho! the World’s all right, I say.
Could things be other than they are? All’s in its place, from mote to star. The thistledown that flits and flies Could drift no hair-breadth otherwise. What is, must be; with rhythmic laws All Nature chimes, Effect and Cause. The sand-grain and the sun obey —  What ho! the World’s all right, I say.
Just try to get the Cosmic touch, The sense that “you” don’t matter much. A million stars are in the sky; A million planets plunge and die; A million million men are sped; A million million wait ahead. Each plays his part and has his day —  What ho! the World’s all right, I say.
Just try to get the Chemic view: A million million lives made “you”,. In lives a million you will be Immortal down Eternity; Immortal on this earth to range, With never death, but ever change. You always were, and will be aye —  What ho! the World’s all right, I say.
Be glad! And do not blindly grope For Truth that lies beyond our scope: A sober plot informeth all Of Life’s uproarious carnival. Your day is such a little one, A gnat that lives from sun to sun; Yet gnat and you have parts to play —  What ho! the World’s all right, I say.
And though it’s written from the start, Just act your best your little part. Just be as happy as you can, And serve your kind, and die — a man. Just live the good that in you lies, And seek no guerdon of the skies; Just make your Heaven here, to-day —  What ho! the World’s all right, I say.
Remember! in Creation’s swing The Race and not the man’s the thing. There’s battle, murder, sudden death, And pestilence, with poisoned breath. Yet quick forgotten are such woes; On, on the stream of Being flows. Truth, Beauty, Love uphold their sway —  What ho! the World’s all right, I say.
The World’s all right; serene I sit, And joy that I am part of it; And put my trust in Nature’s plan, And try to aid her all I can; Content to pass, if in my place I’ve served the uplift of the Race. Truth! Beauty! Love! O Radiant Day —  What ho! the World’s all right, I say.

TO THE SAME.
For thou, a holy shepherdess and kind, Through the pine forests, by the upland rills, Didst roam to seek the children of the hills, A wild neglected flock! to seek, and find, And meekly win! there feeding each young mind With balms of heavenly eloquence: not thine, Daughter of Christ! but his, whose love divine Its own clear spirit in thy breast had shrined, A burning light! Oh! beautiful, in truth, Upon the mountains are the feet of those Who bear his tidings! From thy morn of youth, For this were all thy journeyings, and the close Of that long path, Heaven's own bright sabbath-rest, Must wait thee, wanderer! on thy Saviour's breast.
# Scenes from a Courtesan's Life/Esther Happy/Dedication

To His Highness  Prince Alfonso Serafino di Porcia.
 Allow me to place your name at the beginning of an essentially  Parisian work, thought out in your house during these latter days.  Is it not natural that I should offer you the flowers of rhetoric  that blossomed in your garden, watered with the regrets I suffered  from home-sickness, which you soothed, as I wandered under the  boschetti whose elms reminded me of the Champs-Elysees? Thus,  perchance, may I expiate the crime of having dreamed of Paris  under the shadow of the Duomo, of having longed for our muddy  streets on the clean and elegant flagstones of Porta-Renza. When I  have some book to publish which may be dedicated to a Milanese  lady, I shall have the happiness of finding names already dear to  your old Italian romancers among those of women whom we love, and  to whose memory I would beg you to recall your sincerely  affectionate
 DE BALZAC.  July 1838.
