​BURNABY, Bart. (Commander, 1814. f-p., 13; h-p., 31.)
Sir William Crisp Hood Burnaby is only son of the late Sir Wm. Chaloner Burnaby, Bart., by Elizabeth, second daughter of Crisp Molyneux, Esq., of Garboldesham, co. Norfolk; and grandson of Admiral Sir Wm. Bumaby, Bart., who successively held the chief command on the Leeward Islands and Jamaica stations, and died in 1777. He succeeded his father, as third Baronet, in 1794.
This officer entered the Royal Naval Academy in 1803, and embarked, 11 Oct. 1806, as Midshipman, on board the Montagu 74, Capt. Robt. Waller Otway, with whom, on proceeding to the Mediterranean, he assisted at the evacuation of Scylla, under a smart fire from the enemy on the Calabrian shore, and was afterwards actively employed in cooperating with the patriots on the coast of Catalonia, where he witnessed the capture of the fortress of Rosas. In Aug. 1808, he accompanied Capt. Otway into the Malta 80, which ship was paid off in the following Dec. He next served, for some months, with Capts. Laugharne and D. M‘Leod, in the 50-gun ships Isis and Antelope; then rejoined Capt. Otway in the Ajax 74; and, on 3 Nov. 1809, was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. His succeeding appointments were – on 7 of the latter month, to the Jason frigate, employed off Flushing and Newfoundland – 10 Aug. 1811, to the Port Mahon, Capts. Villiers Fred. Hatton and Fred. Wm. Burgoyne, attached to the force in the Channel – and, 2 Feb. 1813, to the Junon 38, Capts. Jas. Sanders and Clotworthy Upton. Under the former of these officers he took part in many warm encounters with the American enemy, particularly on 20 of the following June, when, we believe, he contributed, in company with the Narcissus and Barrosa frigates, to the complete discomfiture, at the entrance of Norfolk river, of 15 gun-boats that had been despatched for the express purpose of capturing the Junon, after an action of three hours, during which the latter had 2 men killed and 3 wounded.

From volume 2 of the work.
​MUSTEL, Victor, a manufacturer of harmoniums, whose long struggles against poverty, and final success, entitle him to be called the 'Palissy of music,' was born at Havre in 1815. Left an orphan at the age of 12, he was apprenticed to a shipbuilder, and in 1838 set up in business for himself in that trade at the little hamlet of Sanvic. Endowed from youth with a peculiarly constructive genius, his first attempts at making musical instruments were devoted to the improvement of an accordion which he had bought in Havre. Elated with his success, he disposed of his workshop in May 1844, and set out for Paris with his wife and two children. For the next nine years he worked in several different workshops, but never obtained high wages. In 1853 he determined to start in business for himself as a harmonium maker, and in 1855 exhibited his harmonium with 'Double Expression,' and a new stop 'Harpe Eolienne,' for which he gained a medal of the first class. For the first year after this, Mustel (now assisted by his two sons) did fairly well, but business rapidly declined, and he would perhaps have been obliged to succumb, but for the sale of a little land which he had inherited from his father. Even in 1866 his receipts did little more than cover the costs, but since that date the firm of 'Victor Mustel et ses Fils' has gained a reputation that has been as noteworthy in England as in France.

1825
    I fill this cup to one made up
    Of loveliness alone,
    A woman, of her gentle sex
    The seeming paragon;
    To whom the better elements
    And kindly stars have given
    A form so fair, that like the air,
    'Tis less of earth than heaven.
    Her every tone is music's own,
    Like those of morning birds,
    And something more than melody
    Dwells ever in her words;
    The coinage of her heart are they,
    And from her lips each flows
    As one may see the burden'd bee
    Forth issue from the rose.
    Affections are as thoughts to her,
    The measures of her hours;
    Her feelings have the fragrancy,
    The freshness of young flowers;
    And lovely passions, changing oft,
    So fill her, she appears
    The image of themselves by turns,—
    The idol of past years!
    Of her bright face one glance will trace
    A picture on the brain,
    And of her voice in echoing hearts
    A sound must long remain;
    But memory, such as mine of her,
    So very much endears,
    When death is nigh my latest sigh
    Will not be life's, but hers.
    I fill'd this cup to one made up
    Of loveliness alone,
    A woman, of her gentle sex
    The seeming paragon—
    Her health! and would on earth there stood,
    Some more of such a frame,
    That life might be all poetry,
    And weariness a name.
