| | “In a mild and steady light, which came from no illumination of moon or stars, but seemed to be interfused with the air, in the strong, warm wind which wrapped the fell-top upon a sward of bent grass which ran toward the tarn and ended in ​swept reeds, he saw six young women dancing in a ring. Not to any music that he could hear did they move, nor was the rhythm of their move­ment either ordered or wild. It was not formal dancing, and it was not at all a Bacchic rout: rather they flitted hither and thither on the turf, now touching hands, now straining heads to one another, crossing, meeting, parting, winding about and about with the purposeless and untirable frivolity of moths. They seemed neither happy nor unhappy, they made no sound; it looked to the lad as if they had been so drifting from the beginning, and would so drift to the end of things temporal. **** “ . . . . then, circling round him, they swept him forward on the wind, past Silent Water, over the Edge, out on to the fells, on and on and on, and never stopped till they had reached Knapp Forest, that dreadful place. “There, in the hushed aisles and glades, they played with this new found creature—played with him, fought for him, and would have loved him if he had been minded for such adventuring. **** “Andrew King, like young Tamlane, might have sojourned with them for ever and a day but for one thing. He saw by chance a seventh maiden—a white-faced, woebegone, horror-struck Seventh Sister, blenched and frozen under a great beech. She may have been there through­out his commerce with the rest, or she may have been revealed to him in a flash then and there. So as it was, he saw her suddenly, and thereafter saw no other at all. She held his eyes waking; he left his playmates and went to her, where she crouched.” Maurice Hewlett. |

# Arthur Machen: A Novelist of Ecstasy and Sin/The Remembrance of the Bard

THE REMEMBRANCE OF THE BARD
In the darkness of old age let not my memory fail: Let me not forget to celebrate the beloved land of Gwent. If they imprison me in a deep place, in a house of pestilence, Still shall I be free, remembering the sunshine upon Mynydd Maen. There have I listened to the song of the lark, my soul has ascended with the song of the little bird: The great white clouds were the ships of my spirit, sailing to the haven of the Almighty. Equally to be held in honour is the site of the Great Mountain. Adorned with the gushing of many waters—sweet is the shade of its hazel thickets. There a treasure is preserved which I will not celebrate; It is glorious and deeply concealed.
If Teils should return, if happiness were restored to the Cymri, Dewi and Dyfrig should serve his Mass; then a great marvel would be made visible. O blessed and miraculous work! then should my bliss be as the joy of angels. I had rather behold this offering than kiss the twin lips of dark Gwenllian. Dear my land of Gwent: O quam dilecta tabernacula. Thy rivers are like precious golden streams of Paradise, thy hills are as the Mount Syon. Better a grave on Twyn Barlwm than a throne in the palace of the Saxons at Caer-Ludd.

| 10 | DANAË |
| | Danaë was the daughter of the king of Argos, Acrisius. An oracle had foretold that she would one day give birth to a son, who would kill her father. So Acrisius for safety’s sake shut her up in a tower, where, nevertheless, she was visited by Zeus in a shower of gold and became the mother of Perseus. Acrisius put the mother and child into a chest and exposed them on the sea. But the chest drifted ashore on the island of Seriphos, Danäe and her child were saved and Perseus lived to fulfil the oracle’s prophecy. |

United States Supreme Court
127 U.S. 409
Barnard v. District of Columbia
On the 23d day of July, 1872, Robert H. Ryan, since deceased, entered into a contract with the board of public works of the District of Columbia to do certain work for the improvement of New Jersey avenue, in the city of Washington, from B street south to the Potomac river. The different kinds of work required were stated, and the prices for each specified, among which were 'grading, 30 cents per cubic yard,' and 'excavations and refilling, 40 cents per cubic yard, to be measured in excavating only.' It is conceded that Ryan performed the work pursuant to the contract, and has been paid the amount agreedu pon. The present claim is for extra work on the avenue 'in grading or excavating stone or rock,' for which it is contended there is no provision in the contract. The board had entered in its journal, before the contract was made, the following: 'Chief engineer was notified that the following price was established for rock excavation, viz.: In ditches for sewers, etc., $1.50 per cubic yeard; cutting down streets and the like, $1.00 per cubic yard. Auditor and contract clerk notified.' And Ryan contended that he was therefore entitled, for all rock excavations, to one dollar a yard, instead of the price specified in the contract for grading and excavating; the difference being $4,060. To this contention there are two answers. In the first place, the 'grading' and 'excavation' specified in the contract are not limited to work done in sand or gravel or earth free from stone or rock. It might reasonably be expected that more or less stone or rock would be found in the progress of the work, and the price was evidently fixed upon its supposed average character. In the second place, the act of congress of February 21, 1871, 'to provide a government for the District of Columbia,' in force at the time, required that all contracts by the board should be in writing, be signed by the parties making the same, and a copy thereof filed in the office of the secretary of the District; and it forbade the allowance of any extra compensation for work done under a contract. 16 St. 423, c. 62, §§ 15, 37. The entry in the journal of the board was no part of the contract with the claimant, nor could it in any respect control the construction or limit the effect of such contract. The board could not in that way either make a new contract or alter the one previously made, so as to bind the District. Barnes v. District, 22 Ct. Cl. 366. Judgment affirmed.

# Ascent of Mount Carmel/Prefatory/Translator's Preface To The Second Edition

TRANSLATOR’S PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
DURING the sixteen years which have elapsed since the publication of the first edition, several reprints have been issued, and the demand is now such as to justify a complete resetting. I have taken advantage of this opportunity to revise the text throughout, and hope that in some of the more difficult passages I may have come nearer than before to the Saint’s mind. Recent researches have necessitated a considerable amplification of introductions and footnotes and greatly increased the length of the bibliography.
The only modification which has been made consistently throughout the three volumes relates to St. John of the Cross’s quotations from Scripture. In translating these I still follow him exactly, even where he himself is inexact, but I have used the Douia Version (instead of the Authorized, as in the first edition) as a basis for all Scriptural quotations, as well as in the footnote references and the Scriptural index in Vol. III.
Far more is now known of the life and times of St. John of the Cross than when this translation of the Complete Works was first published, thanks principally to the Historia del Carmen Descalzo of P. Silverio de Santa Teresa, C.D, now General of his Order, and to the admirably documented Life of the Saint written by P. Crisógono de Jesus Sacramentado, C.D., and published (in Vida y Obras de San Juan de la Cruz) in the year after his untimely death. This increased knowledge is reflected in many additional notes, and also in the ‘Outline of the Life of St. John of the Cross’ (Vol. I, pp. xxv–xxviii), which, for this edition, has been entirely recast. References are given to my Handbook to the Life and Times of St. Teresa and St. John of the Cross, which provides much background too full to be reproduced in footnotes and too complicated to be compressed. The Handbook also contains numerous references to contemporary events, omitted from the ‘Outline’ as being too remote from the main theme to justify inclusion in a summary necessarily so condensed.
My thanks for help in revision are due to kindly correspondents, too numerous to name, from many parts of the world, who have made suggestions for the improvement of the first edition; to the Rev. Professor David Knowles, of Cambridge University, for whose continuous practical interest in this translation I cannot be too grateful; to Miss I.L. McClelland, of Glasgow University, who has read a large part of this edition in proof; to Dom Philippe Chevallier, for material which I have been able to incorporate in it; to P. José Antonio de Sobrino, S.J., for allowing me to quote freely from his recently published Estudios; and, most of all, to M.R.P. Silverio de Santa Teresa, C.D., and the Fathers of the International Carmelite College at Rome, whose learning and experience, are, I hope, faintly reflected in this new edition.

Error to the Circuit Court of the United States for the Western District of Arkansas
No. 1048. Argued: Dec. 16, 1891 --- Decided: Jan. 4, 1892
The full and unconditional pardon of a person convicted of larceny and sentenced to imprisonment therefor completely restores his competency as a witness, although it may be stated in the pardon that it was given for that purpose.
On the trial of a person indicted for murder, it appeared in evidence that the killing followed an attempt to rob. The court admitted, under objections, evidence tending to show that the prisoner had committed other robberies in that neighborhood, on different days, shortly before the time when the killing took place, and exceptions were taken. Held, that the evidence was inadmissible for any purpose.
The case is stated in the opinion.
Mr. H.J. May for plaintiffs in error. Mr. A.H. Garland filed a brief for same.
Mr. Assistant Attorney General Maury for defendants in error.

# Atharva-Veda Samhita/Book VI/Hymn 30

30. To the çamī́ plant: for benefit to the hair.
[Uparibabhrava.—çāmyam. jāgatam: 2. triṣṭubh; 3. 4-p. kakummaty anuṣṭubh.]
Found also in Pāipp. xix. Verse 1 is wholly unconnected in meaning with the others, nor do these clearly belong together. Used by Kāuç. (66. 15) in the savayajñas, at a sava called pāunaḥçila (pāunasira, comm.); and vs. 2 (2 and 3, comm.) in a remedial rite (31. 1).
Translated: Ludwig, p. 512; Florenz, 288 or 40; Griffith, i. 261.—See also Bergaigne-Henry, Manuel, p. 151.
1. This barley, combined with honey, the gods plowed much on the Sarasvatī, in behalf of Manu (?); Indra, of a hundred abilities, was furrow-master; the liberal (? sudā́nu) Maruts were the plowmen.
Ppp. has this verse only by citation of its pratīka, as if it had occurred earlier; but it has not been found elsewhere in the text. It occurs also in TB. (ii. 4. 87; exactly repeated in ĀpÇS. vi. 30. 20; PGS. iii. 1. 6), MB. ii. 1. 16, and K. (xiii. 15). The TB. version begins with etám u tyám mádh- (so MB. also), and it gives in b sárasvatyās and manā́v: cf. manā́v ádhi, RV. viii. 61. 2; ix. 63. 8; 65. 16; and the translation follows this reading; MB. has vanāva carkṛdhi. The comm., too, though he reads maṇāú, explains it by manuṣyajātāu. In a, he has saṁjitam (for saṁyutam). He explains acarkṛṣus by kṛtavantas, as if it came from root kṛ! ⌊SPP. reads maṇāú, without note of variant.⌋
2. The intoxication that is thine, with loosened hair, with disheveled hair, wherewith thou makest a man to be laughed at—far from thee do I wrench [out] other woods; do thou, O çamī́, grow up with a hundred twigs.
Even the lines of this verse seem unrelated. Ppp. has, in a, mado vikeço vikeçyo; and its c, d are entirely different: bhrūṇaghno varivāṇā janitvaṁ tasya te prajayas suvāmi keçam. SPP. reads çatávalçā in d, with a part of the mss. (including our P.M.K.Kp.). The comm. explains vṛkṣi by vṛçcāmi; but its connection and form, in the obscurity of the verse, are doubtful. ⌊W. Foy discusses root vṛj, KZ. xxxiv. 241 ff., and this vs. at p. 244.⌋ R. writes: "The fruit of the çamī, the pod or kernels, is regarded (Caraka, p. 182, 1. 6) as injurious to the hair; and from the designation keçamathanī in Rājan. 8. 33 is to be inferred that it makes the hair fall out. But nothing is said of an intoxicating effect. To the two trees usually identified with çamī, Prosopis spicigera and Mimosa suma, belongs neither the one nor the other effect. Nor is either 'of great leaves.'" ⌊The Dhanvantarīya Nighaṇṭu, p. 188 of the Poona ed., also speaks of çamī as keçahantrī and of its fruit as keçanāçana.⌋
3. O thou of great leaves, blessed one, rain-increased, righteous! as a mother to her sons, be thou gracious to the hair, O çamī́.
It is possible to read sixteen syllables out of the second half-verse (accenting then mṛḍá), but the description of the Anukr. implies 8 + 8: 8 + 6 = 30 syllables ⌊as does also the position of the avasāna-mark, which is put after mṛḍa⌋. Ppp. eases the situation by inserting nas before çami in d; it also reads ūrdhvasvapne (for varṣavṛddhe) in b.
# Atharva-Veda Samhita/Book VI/Hymn 36

36. In praise of Agni.
[Atharvan (svastyayanakāmaḥ).—āgneyam. gāyatram.]
Found also, imperfect, in Pāipp. xix., and in other texts, as SV. (ii. 1058-60), etc., mentioned under the several verses. For the use of the hymn with its predecessor by Kāuç. (31. 5), see under the latter.
Translated: Florenz, 296 or 48; Griffith, i. 264.
1. To Vāiçvānara, the righteous, lord of right, of light, we pray for unfailing heat (gharmá).
The Sāman version, as also that in VS. (xxvi. 6), in MS. (iv. 11. 1), and AÇS. (viii. 10. 3), is precisely accordant with ours; that in ÇÇS. (iii. 3. 5) has bhānum instead of gharmám in c.
2. He shaped himself unto all things; he, the controlling one, sends out the seasons, drawing out the vigor (váyas) of the sacrifice.
3. Agni, in distant domains, the desire of what is and is to be, bears rule as the one universal ruler.
Or, it may be (so Florenz), 'Agni, as Kāma, rules over what has been and is to be,' etc.; the comm. explains kāmas as kāmayitā kāmaprado vā. SV. (also VS. xii. 117) reads priyéṣu for páreṣu in a; AÇS. (viii. 10.3) has instead pratneṣu. ÇÇS. (iii. 5. 8) has our text without variant; also TB. (see above), in b, c. ⌊Cf. iii. 21. 4 and Muir, v. 403.⌋
