# The New International Encyclopædia/Stephenson, Robert

Edition of 1905. See also Robert Stephenson on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​STEPHENSON, Robert (1803-59). A British civil engineer. He was the son of George Stephenson (q.v.) and was born at Wallington Quay, near Newcastle. He was educated at Newcastle and received practical engineering experience at the Killingworth Colliery and with his father in railway surveying and the construction of locomotives, being, in the meanwhile, a student for six months at Edinburgh University. After managing his father's locomotive factory in Newcastle for a few months he went to South America on account of ill health (1824) and engaged in mining. Coming back to England in 1827, he returned to the locomotive works and supervised the construction of the Rocket (see Locomotive), incorporating in its mechanism many original and serviceable ideas, and assisted his father in other work. In 1833 he became the engineer of the London and Birmingham Railway, one of the first in which great engineering difficulties were encountered in the construction, but which was completed in 1838. The firm of Robert Stephenson & Co. by this time had become the leading engine builders of the world and a standard type of locomotive was evolved which was subsequently enlarged and improved. Robert Stephenson was interested in every department of railway construction, and particularly in the design of bridges, where he achieved the highest reputation. Among the bridges he designed were the high-level bridge over the Tyne at Newcastle, the Victoria Bridge at Berwick, the famous Britannia Tubular Bridge across Menai Strait, the Conway Bridge, and the Victoria Bridge over the Saint Lawrence. (See Bridge.) In 1847 Stephenson was elected to Parliament from Whitby as a Conservative, and in 1856 became president of the Institution of Civil Engineers.

# The New International Encyclopædia/Stephenson, George

Edition of 1905. See also George Stephenson on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​STEPHENSON, ste′v𝑒n-s𝑜n, George (1781- 1848). An English engineer and inventor and the 'founder of railways.' He was born at Wylam, near Newcastle, where his father was fireman at a colliery. After a boyhood spent in farm work he became assistant to his father and was steadily advanced. He got some education while working as fireman and brakeman, and in addition to his regular duties undertook the cleaning and repairing of clocks. He became acquainted with William Fairbairn at this time and the two were in frequent conference. After serving as engineer at various collieries and other establishments he was made engine-wright of the Killingworth High Pit, having by this time gained a thorough practical knowledge of the operation and construction of engines and pumping machinery. Devoting his leisure to scientific pursuits, he invented a miner's safety lamp (q.v.) known as the 'Geordie' (1815), and there resulted a controversy over the priority of the invention, as a similar idea had been successfully worked out by Sir Humphry Davy (q.v.). His attention was meanwhile turned to the experiments of Blackett and Hedley with locomotives, then in progress at Wylam, and he induced the owners of the Killingworth Colliery to undertake the construction of a locomotive. (See Locomotive.) In 1821 he became chief engineer of the Stockton and Darlington Railway (see Railways), and in 1824 he was appointed engineer of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. In 1825 the Stockton and Darlington road was opened, and was the first regularly operated in the world where locomotives were employed to haul freight and passengers. In 1829 his Rocket won in the celebrated competitive trial of locomotives on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, and in 1830 the line was formally opened. Subsequent improvements were made in the locomotive and Stephenson became chief or consulting engineer to nearly all of the railway projects that were soon set on foot. His success in this field made it possible for him to become interested also in the development of coal mines. Stephenson visited the Continent in 1846, where he was received with unusual honors. He was the first president of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, which he founded in 1847, but was never a candidate for political honors. In the latter part of his life he devoted himself to farming at his country place at Tapton House, where he died. By his successful development of the locomotive and of the railway Stephenson ranks as one of the foremost mechanical engineers of the nineteenth century. Not only was ​his influence felt in the purely mechanical and engineering difficulties to be overcome, but also in the conservative organization and prosecution of the railway enterprises of his time.

​STEP′NIAK (pseudonyn of Kravtchinski), Sergei Mikiiailovitch (1852-95). A Russian revolutionary exile and writer, born in Southern Russia. He graduated at the Saint Petersburg School of Artillery, and entered the Forestry Institute at Saint Petersburg. In 1872 he joined a Nihilist circle and engaged in spreading revolutionary ideas among the factory workmen in the capital. He was arrested in 1874 in the Government of Tver, but escaped, and henceforth led the life of an outlaw. He engaged in conspiracies in Italy, took an active part at Geneva in the publication of The Commune, and smuggled into Russia a press and type for illegal publications in 1878. When the revolutionists resolved upon the death of General Mezentseff, chief of the gendarmes, Stepniak, chosen by lot for the purpose, stabbed him on August 16, 1878, and somewhat later published Life for Life in justification of the act. During the years 1879-83 he lived in Switzerland and Italy, where appeared his famous Underground Russia (1882). In 1884 Stepniak settled in London. In 1885 appeared his Russia Under the Tsars, followed by The Russian Storm Cloud (1880), Russian Peasantry, Career of a Nihilist (1889), The Little Cottage on the Volga, and King Stork and King Log (1895).

# William Forster

William Forster, of Norwich, England, died in East Tennessee, in the 1st month, 1854, while engaged in presenting to the governors of the States of this Union the address of his religious society on the evils of slavery. He was the relative and coadjutor of the Buxtons, Gurneys, and Frys; and his whole life, extending al-most to threescore and ten years, was a pore and beautiful example of Christian benevolence. He had travelled over Europe, and visited most of its sovereigns, to plead against the slave-trade and slavery; and had twice before made visits to this country, under impressions of religious duty. He was the father of the Right Hon. William Edward Forster. He visited my father's house in Haverhill during his first tour in the United States.
The years are many since his hand Was laid upon my head, Too weak and young to understand The serious words he said.
Yet often now the good man's look Before me seems to swim, As if some inward feeling took The outward guise of him.
As if, in passion's heated war, Or near temptation's charm, Through him the low-voiced monitor Forewarned me of the harm.
Stranger and pilgrim! from that day Of meeting, first and last, Wherever Duty's pathway lay, His reverent steps have passed.
The poor to feed, the lost to seek, To proffer life to death, Hope to the erring,--to the weak The strength of his own faith.
To plead the captive's right; remove The sting of hate from Law; And soften in the fire of love The hardened steel of War.
He walked the dark world, in the mild, Still guidance of the Light; In tearful tenderness a child, A strong man in the right.
From what great perils, on his way, He found, in prayer, release; Through what abysmal shadows lay His pathway unto peace,
God knoweth : we could only see The tranquil strength he gained; The bondage lost in liberty, The fear in love unfeigned.
And I,--my youthful fancies grown The habit of the man, Whose field of life by angels sown The wilding vines o'erran,--
Low bowed in silent gratitude, My manhood's heart enjoys That reverence for the pure and good Which blessed the dreaming boy's.
Still shines the light of holy lives Like star-beams over doubt; Each sainted memory, Christlike, drives Some dark possession out.
O friend! O brother I not in vain Thy life so calm and true, The silver dropping of the rain, The fall of summer dew!
How many burdened hearts have prayed Their lives like thine might be But more shall pray henceforth for aid To lay them down like thee.
With weary hand, yet steadfast will, In old age as in youth, Thy Master found thee sowing still The good seed of His truth.
As on thy task-field closed the day In golden-skied decline, His angel met thee on the way, And lent his arm to thine.
Thy latest care for man,--thy last Of earthly thought a prayer,-- Oh, who thy mantle, backward cast, Is worthy now to wear?
Methinks the mound which marks thy bed Might bless our land and save, As rose, of old, to life the dead Who touched the prophet's grave!

# Poems (Wordsworth, 1815)/Volume 2/When I have borne

XVII.
When I have borne in memory what has tamed Great Nations, how ennobling thoughts depart When men change Swords for Ledgers, and desert The Student's bower for gold, some fears unnamed I had, my Country! am I to be blamed? But, when I think of Thee, and what Thou art, Verily, in the bottom of my heart, Of those unfilial fears I am ashamed. But dearly must we prize thee; we who find In thee a bulwark of the cause of men; And I by my affection was beguiled. What wonder, if a Poet, now and then, Among the many movements of his mind, Felt for thee as a Lover or a Child.

# The New Art of Memory/Chapter 7

CHAP. VII.
Poetry and Prose.
The first materials of a poetic edifice are to be found in metaphors, allegories, and in various kinds of fiction; and, it is thus all images, comparisons, allusions, and figures, particularly those which personify moral subjects, concur in adorning such a structure. When these images are reduced into verse, the ear is delighted to a high degree, and the mind insensibly repeats them while the eye reads them. This is particularly the case with rhyme. Cadence, harmony, and especially rhyme, afford the greatest assistance to the memory that art can invent; and the images, or poetic fictions, that strike our senses, assist in engraving them deeply on our minds.
When a historal narrative is related in prose, the facts only are stated in a plain, regular order, without any minute description of the different objects which occur in the course of the history. ​Page:The new art of memory (IA artofmemoryfound00fein).pdf/208 ​Page:The new art of memory (IA artofmemoryfound00fein).pdf/209 ​Page:The new art of memory (IA artofmemoryfound00fein).pdf/210 ​Page:The new art of memory (IA artofmemoryfound00fein).pdf/211 ​Page:The new art of memory (IA artofmemoryfound00fein).pdf/212 ​Page:The new art of memory (IA artofmemoryfound00fein).pdf/213 ​Page:The new art of memory (IA artofmemoryfound00fein).pdf/214 ​Page:The new art of memory (IA artofmemoryfound00fein).pdf/215 ​Page:The new art of memory (IA artofmemoryfound00fein).pdf/216 ​have (if possible) but one word for the pounds, and always separate words for the shillings and pence.
The advantages of this part of the system to the different professions are very great. The minister—the legal student, and the Member of Parliament, may all practise this method with success. The application of these principles will also render an essential service to the merchant and the man of business, in the various concerns of life.
# Political fragments of Archytas and other ancient Pythagoreans/From the treatise of Perictyone on the harmony of a woman

Extract from the work On the Harmony of Women by "Perictione", a pseudonymous Pythagorean work of the 4th or 3rd century BCE.
FROM THE TREATISE OF PERICTYONE ON THE HARMONY OF A WOMAN
Parents ought not to be injured either in word or deed; but it is requisite to be obedient to them, whether their rank in life is small or great. And in every allotted condition of soul and body, and of external circumstances, in peace, also, and war, in health [and sickness], in riches and in poverty, in renown and ignominy, and whether they are of the same class with most of the community, or are magistrates, it is necessary to be present with, and never to forsake them, and almost to submit to them even when they are insane. For such conduct will be wisely and cheerfully adopted by those that are pious. But he who despises his parents will, both among the living ​and the dead, be condemned for this crime by the Gods, will be hated by men, and under the earth will, together with the impious, be eternally punished in the same place by Justice, and the subterranean Gods, whose province it is to inspect things of this kind. For the aspect of parents is a thing divine and beautiful, and a diligent observance of them is attended with a delight such as neither the survey of the sun, nor of all the stars which dance round the illuminated heavens, is capable of producing, nor any other spectacle, should it even be greater than this. And, it appears to me, that the Gods are not envious when they perceive that this takes place. Hence it is requisite to reverence parents both while they are living, and when they are dead, and never oppose them in any thing they may say or do. If also they are ignorant of any thing through deception or disease, their children should console ​and instruct, but by no means hate them on this account. For no greater error and injustice can be committed by men than to act impiously towards their parents.
* ↑ In this extract no mention whatever is made of the harmony of a woman; for it wholly consists of the duty of children to their parents.
* ↑ και νοσῳ is omitted in the original, but ought, as it appears to me, to be inserted.
* ↑ It is well observed by Olympiodorus, on the Phaedo of Plato, "that the soul is not punished by divinity through anger but medicinally; and that by eternity of punishment we must understand punishment commensurate with the soul's partial period; because souls that have committed the greatest offences cannot be sufficiently purified in one period."
* ↑ For φρονεειν in this place, which is evidently erroneous, I read φθονεειν.
# Political fragments of Archytas and other ancient Pythagoreans/On the reverence due to parents. From the apophthegms of Aristoxenus, the Tarentine

ON THE REVERENCE DUE TO PARENTS. FROM THE APOPHTHEGMS OF ARISTOXENUS, THE TARENTINE.
After divinity and demons, the greatest attention should be paid to parents and the laws; not fictitiously, but in reality preparing ourselves to an observance of, and perseverance in, the manners and laws of our country, though they should be in a small degree worse than those of other countries.
AND IN THE FOURTH BOOK OF THE SAME WORK.
But after these things follow the honours which should be paid to living parents, it being right to discharge the first, the greatest, and ​the most ancient of all debts. Every one, likewise, should think that all which he possesses belongs to those who begot and nurtured him, in order that he may be ministrant to their want to the utmost of his ability, beginning from his property; in the second place discharging his debt to them from things. pertaining to his body; and in the third place, from things pertaining to his soul; thus repaying with usury the cares and pains which his now very aged parents bestowed on him when be was young. Through the whole of life, likewise, it is requisite that he should particularly employ the most respectful language in speaking to his parents; because there is a most severe punishment for light and winged words; and Nemesis, the messenger of Justice, is appointed to be the inspector of every thing of this kind. When parents, therefore, are angry, it is requisite to yield to them, and to appease their anger, whether it is shown in words or in deeds; acknowledging that a father may reasonably be very much enraged with his son, when he thinks he has been injured by him. But on the death of parents, the most decent and beautiful monuments should be raised to them; not exceeding the usual magnitude, nor yet less than those which ​our ancestors erected for their parents. Every year, too, attention ought to be paid to the decoration of their tombs. They should, likewise, be continually remembered and reverenced, and this with a moderate and appropriate expense. By always acting, therefore, and living in this manner, we shall each of us be rewarded according to our deserts, both by the Gods and those natures that are superior to us, and shall pass the greatest part of our life in good hope.
# Political fragments of Archytas and other ancient Pythagoreans/From the treatise of Pempelus on parents

FROM THE TREATISE OF PEMPELUS ON PARENTS.
Neither divinity, nor any man who possesses the least wisdom, will ever advise any one to neglect his parents. Hence we cannot have any statue or temple which will be considered by divinity as more precious than our fathers and grandfathers when grown feeble with age. For God will recompense him with benefits who honours his parents with gifts; since if ​this is not done, divinity will not pay any attention to the prayers of such parents for their children. The images of our parents, indeed, and progenitors should be esteemed by us as far more venerable and divine than any inanimate images. For these animated images, when they are continually adorned and rendered splendid with honour by us, pray for us, and implore the gods to bestow on us the most excellent gifts: but the contrary when we despise them. Neither of these, however, is effected by inanimate images. Hence he who conducts himself in a becoming manner towards his parents and progenitors, and other relatives of this kind, will possess the most proper of all statues, and the best calculated to render him dear to divinity. Every one, therefore, endued with intellect should honour and venerate his parents, and should dread their execrations and [unfavourable] prayers, as knowing that many of them frequently take effect. These things, therefore, being thus disposed by nature, men that are prudent and modest will consider their living aged progenitors as a treasure, to the extremity of life; and if they die before they arrive at that period, they will be vehemently desired by them. On the contrary, progenitors will be ​terrible in the extreme to their depraved and stupid offspring. But he who, being profane, is deaf to these assertions, will be considered by all intelligent persons as odious both to Gods and men.
