# A Study in Colour/Dedication

To my dear friend Camille Olivia Elisabeth G. DeL, I dedicate this little book.
To you, and to you alone, these little sketches of West Indian life of right belong, for without you they would certainly have remained for ever floating in the vague annals of negro life. You will remember how they began.
Often as we drove along the dusty lanes, and passed the picturesque little negro huts, round which children of all shades and sizes played, you would say, "How I wish I knew the daily life of this strange people! What are their wants and cares, their joys and sorrows?"
Your words set me thinking, and ​when you left us, and had gone home to dear old England, I thought still more.
As I pondered I began to regard with a new interest the dusky servants that came and went about the house. The servant question is to the full as engrossing a topic in the West Indies as at home, but it was not from a domestic, but from a human point of view that I was considering them.
Gradually I made friends with them; I found they were only too willing to talk about themselves, when once their first constraint was over, and they realised that I was truly interested in their histories; and as they talked there broke on me glimpses of a life so strange and fantastic, that at first I could hardly realize its existence.
Elita was a coloured girl of whom I heard a great deal from many of the servants. She was quite a beauty among her own people, and her tragical fate was spoken of with the greatest regret. I wrote her story out exactly as they told it to me.
I used to read what I had written, with, of course, certain reservations, to some of the servants afterwards, and they were delighted at hearing ​"stories all 'bout ourselves, Missus," and used to criticise most freely, and tell me where I had made mistakes, and how I was to alter them. When it was right and they were satisfied they used to be so pleased and say, "Dat quite right 'last, Missus, dat 'xactly de way we lib." Then I felt proud, even although my audience consisted of but my brown nurse and a tattered and disreputable-looking old negress, cleaner-in-general to the household.
If you can join your approval to theirs, I shall feel that these little stories have received more than their fair share of praise.
I do not, indeed, feel towards them as a mother, but rather as one who, finding them wandering neglected and forlorn, took pity on the little foundlings, and, clothing them in simplest words, now sends them out into the wide world to seek their fate. It is from knowledge of your own universal good will and sympathy that I ask you to be godmother to the poor little waifs.
Alice Spinner.

# A Selection of Hymns, Used in the Parish Church, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, Ulverston/Preface

PREFACE.
The Editor of the following little work deems it expedient to offer a few explanatory marks, in reference to the circumstances which have called it into existence.
In 1859, he published a Psalter, entitled "A Selection of Psalms, Hymns, and Chants," upon the compilation of which he bestowed much time and trouble, in the hope that the work would pass into general circulation, and that, as the Psalms, Hymns, and Chants were sung at the Parish Church, and at the Church of the Holy Trinity, Ulverston, the congregation of those churches especially, would find the work peculiarly adapted to their requirements.
It was objected, however, that, as the music accompanied the words—thereby necessarily increasing the price—the volume was placed beyond the reach of the ​poorer members of the congregations; and the Editor, being anxious that all classes of the community should be able to take part in the devotional exercise of singing the praises of the Almighty in public Congregation, resolved to issue the Hymns without the music, at a price which should place the publication within the means of the humblest classes.
Whatever may be the merits or the demerits of the Selection, the Editor can safely say that he has undertaken his task conscientiously, unbiassed by any party-spirit, and uninfluenced by any sectarianism. His sole object, throughout the undertaking, has been to collect from the writers of accredited authors, such Hymns as are adapted for public singing in Churches—such as hymns, in fact, as fitly express what ought to be the feelings of every devout and sincere worshipper.

# A Selection of Original Songs, Scraps, Etc., by Ned Farmer/Cheer Up! and Keep on Never Minding

Cheer Up! and Keep on Never Minding.
Let sages rave, with visage grave, To prove this world's beyond all bearing,
But ne'er forget, some warm hearts yet Are left, which make it worth the wearing. If clouds should lour, and friends look sour, 'Tis only neighbour's fare your finding; One maxim still cures every ill, Cheer up! and keep on never minding!
One thing's quite clear, no mortal here, Hath happiness without some sorrow; And tho' to-day joy flies away, It may come back again to-morrow. No hour so drear, but in its rear, Some warmer, brighter tint is winding; Then come what may, play out the play— Cheer up! and keep on never minding!

Praise the Lord! Ye Heav'ns adore Him, Praise Him, Angels, in the height; Sun and moon, rejoice before Him, Praise Him, all ye stars and light. ​Praise the Lord, for He hath spoken, Worlds His mighty voice obey'd, Laws which never shall be broken, For their guidance hath he made.
Praise the Lord! for He is glorious; Never shall His promise fail; God hath made His saints victorious, Sin and death shall not prevail. Praise the God of our salvation; Hosts on high, His pow'r proclaim; Heaven and earth and all creation Laud and magnify His Name.
# A Selection of Original Songs, Scraps, Etc., by Ned Farmer/A Day at Benton's Barn

A Day at Benton's Barn.
It were no book of mine, did it not contain some allusion to the noble art of "rat catching." The subjoined effusion being in as mild a form as anything I have ever penned on that subject, I am induced to insert it.
Farmer Benton had written Ned Perkins to say, That he purposed on Friday to thrash out a bay; That he'd sent to George Haynes, about ferrets, and so They expected on Friday to have a grand go. The morning is come, the machine got in motion, Which rather beats thrashing by hand, I've a notion; The chaff in a simoon of dust floats along, And the team do their work to the waggoner's song. George's outposts well guarded, the shindy begins, At the expense of rat's lives and the countrymen's shins; "Don't trample the wheat out," says Benton, "I pray, There's no sort of hurry—they can't get away."
"There's one where that dog is; he's shifted; ne'er mind, They'll all be crept into one corner you'll find. Halloo! there's a great un'! Hie Tartar!—good lad; He's got him: look yonder, they're bolting like mad." My soul, there's a scuffle—"Be careful, I begs, You'll have those fork-tines into somebody's legs!" "Look out, Mr. Benton; there's one at your back, On the top of the chaff-hole—just give him a crack." "Mind, mind where you're hitting—there's one up the wall." Oh! I thought it a mouse, by its being so small." "No, no, it's a rat, look; and here are the rest; There's twelve or thirteen of them down in this nest." They are nearing the bottom, each sheaf they displace Yields a rat, which produces a kill, or a race. "Good Tartar!—hie, Nettle!—dead, dead!—Pincher drop it." "There's one up the wall again—Petipher, stop it." "Now, clumsey!—"he's miss'd him!" "Oh! he's safe enough; He's popped through that air hole and into the sough." "Bill Hawkins, run round, lad, and look out a bit, They're certain to make for the kid pile or pit."
The bay is alive with them,—hark! what a row, sirs, A young one has crept up Jack Harris's trowsers, Who pales with affright, and exerting his muscle, Belabours the place where a maid ties her bustle.
And thus they kept shouting and whacking away, Till at last they got down to the floor of the bay, Where full thirty old ones, 'tis true, on my soul, Were found (as is often the case,) in one hole. And then, such an uproar, when they were got out, Such shouting, and barking, and running about; All, all, save one old one, were fated to die; Bill Stokes caught Joe Foster a whack on the eye. Thus ended the warfare! full ninety had died. Without counting seven they'd topper'd outside; When, finding no others were left them to munch, They left off, and went into Benton's to lunch.
In marrying, as in pearl fishing, the odds are fearfully against us. It is not every oyster-shell that contains a pearl.
# A Selection of Original Songs, Scraps, Etc., by Ned Farmer/Adieu to 1844

Adieu to 1844.
Written December 31st, at eleven o'clock, P.M.
And thou art off, old forty four, With all thy good and ill attending, To join thy kindred gone before, And add to the eternal blending. What varied scenes of grief and joy, Hast thou, old year, been at the making, What myriads sent to sleep, old boy, To 'bide the last trump's awful waking?
What thousands thou hast usher'd in To this sad world of guilt and sorrow; But whatsoe'er thy faults have been, Thy reign, old boy, is o'er to-morrow. So, part we friends, for thou hast dried The tear from many a weeping eye; And thy successor, when he's tried, May perhaps be worse—and so, good bye!
# A Selection of Hymns, Used in the Parish Church, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, Ulverston/Hymn 99

HYMN 99.
Praise the Lord, whose mighty wonders Earth, and air, and seas display; Him, who high in tempests thunders, Him, whom countless worlds obey. In the eastern skies ascending, Praise Him, glorious orb of day; Ocean, round the world extending, Praise Him o'er thy boundless way.
Pines that crown the lofty mountains, Bow in sign of worship low; All ye secret springs and fountains, Warble praises as ye flow. Beasts, through nature's drear dominions, Praise Him where the wilds extend; Praise Him, birds, whose sounding pinions Up to Heaven's gate ascend.
​Man below, the Lord of nature, Angel choirs in realms above, Hymning, praise the great Creator, Praise th' eternal Fount of Love. Teach us, Lord, to sing Thy glory, Till in Heav'n we take our place; Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

# A Philosophical Essay on Probabilities/Chapter 6

PART II.
APPLICATIONS OF THE CALCULUS OF PROBABILITIES.
CHAPTER VI.
GAMES OF CHANCE.
The combinations which games present were the object of the first investigations of probabilities. In an infinite variety of these combinations many of them lend themselves readily to calculus; others require more difficult calculi; and the difficulties increasing in the measure that the combinations become more complicated, the desire to surmount them and curiosity have excited geometricians to perfect more and more this kind of analysis. It has been seen already that the benefits of a lottery are easily determined by the theory of combinations. But it is more difficult to know in how many draws one can bet one against one, for example that all the numbers will be drawn, n being the number of numbers, r that of the numbers drawn at each draw, and i the unknown number of draws. The expression of the probability of drawing all the ​numbers depends upon the nth. finite difference of the i power of a product of r consecutive numbers. When the number n is considerable the search for the value of i which renders this probability equal to ½ becomes impossible at least unless this difference is converted into a very converging series. This is easily done by the method here below indicated by the approximations of functions of very large numbers. It is found thus since the lottery is composed of ten thousand numbers, one of which is drawn at each draw, that there is a disadvantage in betting one against one that all the numbers will be drawn in 95767 draws and an advantage in making the same bet for 95768 draws. In the lottery of France this bet is disadvantageous for 85 draws and advantageous for 86 draws.
Let us consider again two players, A and B, playing together at heads and tails in such a manner that at each throw if heads turns up A gives one counter to B, who gives him one if tails turns up; the number of counters of B is limited, while that of A is unlimited, and the game is to end only when B shall have no more counters. We ask in how many throws one should bet one to one that the game will end. The expression of the probability that the game will end in an i number of throws is given by a series which comprises a great number of terms and factors if the number of counters of B is considerable; the search for the value of the unknown i which renders this series ½ would then be impossible if we did not reduce the same to a very convergent series. In applying to it the method of which we have just spoken, we find a very simple expression for the unknown from which it results that if, ​for example, B has a hundred counters, it is a bet of a little less than one against one that the game will end in 23780 throws, and a bet of a little more than one against one that it will end in 23781 throws.
These two examples added to those we have already given are sufficient to shows how the problems of games have contributed to the perfection of analysis.
