Fab. XCIX.
A Shepherd turn'd Merchant.
A Countryman was Feeding his Flock by the Sea-side, and it was so Delicate a Fine Day, that the Smoothness of the Water Tempted him to leave his Shepherds Business, and set up for a Merchant. So that in All Hast, he puts off his Stock; Buys a ​Bargain of Figs; gets his Freight abord, and away presently to Sea. It happened to be very Foul Weather: So that the Mariners were fain to Cast their Whole Lading Over-bord, to save Themselves and the Vessel. Upon This Miscarriage, our New Merchant-Adventurer betook himself to his Old Trade again; And it happen’d One Day, as he was Tending his Sheep upon the very same Coast, to be Just such a Flattering Tempting Sea again, as That which had Betray’d him Before. Yes, yes, says he, When the Devil's Blind! You'd ha’ some more Figs, with a Vengeance, Wou'd ye?
The Moral.
REFLEXION.
Affliction makes People Honest and Wise. Every Man Living has his Weak Side, and no Mortal was ever yet so much at Ease, but his Shoe Wrung him some where or Other; or he Fancy’d so at least,and Then it did so, The Shepherd would needs be a Merchant; and the Merchant, if he had succeeded would still have been Hankering after something else. His Levity was a Fault, and his Miscarriage was a Judgment upon him for’t. The saving of his Person after the Loss of his Goods was a Providential Mercy to him; and the bringing of Him home to Himself again, was to Convince him of his Error, and to shew him, that he was well at First, if he could have kept so, He was in a State of Ease, Peace, Innocence, and Safety: And he that will Sacrifice all Those Blessings to a Restless Appetite, deserves to be Miserable. Our Shepherd’s Case, in short here, is every Man's Case that Quits a Moral Certainty for an Uncertainty, and Leaps from the Honest Bus'ness he was brought up to, into a Trade he has no Skill in.

# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/M

See also M on Wikipedia; M in the 11th edition; and the disclaimer.
​M. THE letter M denotes a nasal sound, which varies little, if at all, in different languages.
Nasal sounds are produced as follows. The breath—turned into voice at its passage through the glottis—does not pass out wholly through the mouth. Part of it is diverted behind the soft palate, and so through the nostrils; the remainder passes through the mouth-cavity, and is there completely checked at some point of its course. When that check is taken away, we hear, not the sonant which would have been produced if all the breath had passed through the mouth, but a nasal varying in nature according to the part of the cavity where the check of the tongue or the lips has been applied. There may be as many definite nasal sounds in any language as there are recognized classes of consonants, as guttural, palatal, dental, labial. In Sanskrit there were even five nasal sounds so clearly differentiated that each had a special symbol to denote it; the cerebral class of sounds (produced by turning the tip of the tongue slightly back against the middle of the palate) had its nasal as well as each of the other four classes above mentioned. In English we have three sounds, but only two simple symbols, m and n; for the guttural nasal heard in sing, &c., we employ the digraph ng. Spanish has a palatal nasal.
The nasal sound denoted by M is the labial nasal. It corresponds to the sonant b-sound; for each of them the lips are completely closed, and if no voice were diverted through the nostrils a b-sound only would be heard when the lips are opened; all the organs of the mouth are in exactly the same position for one sound as for the other, but, the soft palate being lowered, the voice is divided in its egress. Hence we see why a man who has a cold pronounces m as b; the voice cannot get through the nostrils, which are blocked up; it must therefore escape mainly or entirely through the lips, and so produce a b-sound. Therefore, instead of “talking through his nose,” as the phrase goes, such a person tries to talk through his nose, but cannot.
The symbol M stands in numeration for 1000. See Alphabet.

# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Macao

See also Macau on Wikipedia; Macao in the 11th edition; and the disclaimer.
MACAO (A-Ma-ngao, “Harbour of the goddess A-Ma”; Portuguese, Macau), a Portuguese settlement on the coast of China, in 22° N. lat. and 132° E. long., consists of a tongue of land 11/2 square miles in extent, running south-south-west from the island of Hiang Shang (Portuguese, Ançam) on the western side of the estuary of the Canton river. Bold and rocky hills about 300 feet in height occupy both extremities of the peninsula, the picturesque-looking city, with its flat-roofed houses painted blue, green, and red, lying in the far from level stretch of ground between. The forts are effective additions to the general view, but do not add much to the real strength of the place. Along the east side of the peninsula runs the Praya Grande, or Great Quay, the chief promenade in Macao, on which stand the governor’s palace, the administrative offices, the consulates, and the leading commercial establishments. The church of St Paul, erected between 1594 and 1602, the seat of the Jesuit college in the 17th century, was destroyed by fire in 1835. The Hospital da Misericordia (1569) was rebuilt in 1640. The Camoens grotto—where the exiled poet found leisure to celebrate the achievements of his ungrateful country—lies in a secluded spot to the north of the town, which has been partly left in its native wildness strewn with huge granite boulders and partly transformed into a fine botanical garden. In 1871 there were in Macao 5375 persons of European birth or extraction, 53,761 Chinese living on land and 10,268 in boats. Half-castes are very numerous. Though most of the land is under garden cultivation, the mass of the people is dependent more or less directly on mercantile pursuits; for, while the exclusive policy both of Chinese and Portuguese which prevented Macao becoming a free port till 1845–46 allowed what was once the great emporium of European commerce in eastern Asia to be outstripped by its younger and more liberal rivals, the trade of the place is still of very considerable extent. Since the middle of the century indeed much of it has run in the most questionable channels: the nefarious coolie traffic gradually increased in extent and in cruelty from about 1848 till it was prohibited in 1874, and much of the actual trade is more or less of the nature of smuggling. The total value of exports and imports was in 1876–77 upwards of £1,536,000. Commercial intercourse is most intimate with Hong-Kong, Canton, Batavia, and Goa. The preparation and packing of tea is the principal industry in the town. The colonial revenue, which is largely recruited by a tax on the notorious gambling tables, increased from 104,643 dollars in 1856–57 to 380,012 in 1872–73, while the expenditure rose from 69,757 to 266,344.

​AVILA Y ZUNIGA, Luis D', author of a Spanish history of the wars of Charles V. Nothing is known as to the place or date either of his birth or of his death. He was probably of low origin, but married a wealthy heiress of the house of Zuniga, whose name he added to his own. He rose rapidly in the favour of the Emperor Charles V., served in the army and as ambassador to Rome, and was present at the funeral of Charles in 1558. His work is entitled Comentarios de la Guerra de Alemaña, hecha de Carlos V. en el año de 1546 y 1547, and appears to have been printed in 1548. It became very popular, and was translated into English, French, Dutch, German, Italian, and Latin. As was to be expected from the position of the author, the book gave a rather one-sided account of Charles, and its misrepresentations have been severely criticised.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Léon Gozlan

See also Léon Gozlan on Wikipedia; Léon Gozlan on Wikipedia, Gozlan in the 11th edition; and the disclaimer.
​GOZLAN, Léon, a French novelist and play writer, was born at Marseilles in 1803, and died in 1866. When he was still a boy, his father, who had made a large fortune as a ship-broker, met with adverse circumstances, and Le"on, before completing his education, had to go to sea in order to earn a living. He went several trading voyages to Algiers ​and to Senegal, without, it would seem, much profit. In the meantime his literary tastes gradually developed, and he abandoned mercantile pursuits for the modest employ ment of a teacher in Marseilles. He, however, did not remain long there, and in 1828 we find him in Paris, de termined to run the risks of literary life. His townsman, Joseph Mery, who was then making himself famous by his political satires, smoothed his way, and introduced him to several newspapers. But Gozlan did not sacrifice litera ture to politics. Though he contributed many essays to the reviews, it is as a fertile and ingenious author of novels and plays that he is best known. His first novel was Les Memoires d uii Apothicaire (1828), and this was followed by numberless others, among which may be men tioned Le Notaire de Chantiliy, Aristide Froissart (one of the most curious and celebrated of his productions), Les Nuits du Perti-Lackaise, Le Tapis Vert; Georges III., La Folle du lugis, La famille Lambert, Les Emotions de Polydore Marasqum, ifcc. His principal works for the theatre are La Goutte de Lait, La Plule et le beau temps, LeLion empaille, Pied-de-Fer, Louise de Nanteuil, Le, Gateau des Eeines, Les Paniers de la Comtesse, Le Diamant et le Verre, arid adaptations of several of his own novels to the stage. Gozlan also wrote a romantic and picturesque description of the old manors and mansions of his country, entitled Les Chateaux de France, 4 vols. (1844), and a biographical essay on the great novelist Balzac (1861). He was made a member of the legion of honour in 1846, and in 1859 an officer of that order. Louid Huart has published a sketch of his life. Of the many novels which uninterruptedly dropped, as it were, from Gozlan s pen during a period of thirty-eight years, very few have the qualities which commend a work of fiction to posterity ; but nearly all are pleasant to read, and some will no doubt survive as an interesting and lively picture of French manners during the first half of this century. He holds an honourable place in the second rank of French novelists.
