# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Douglass, Frederick

Edition of 1879. See also Frederick Douglass on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
DOUGLASS, Frederick, an American orator and journalist, born at Tuckahoe, near Easton, Talbot co., Md., about 1817. His mother was a negro slave and his father a white man. He was reared as a slave on the plantation of Col. Edward Lloyd, until at the age of 10 he was sent to Baltimore to live with a relative of his master. He secretly taught himself to read and write, was employed in a ship yard, and, in accordance with a resolution long entertained,
fled from Baltimore and from slavery Sept. 3, 1838. He made his way to New York and thence to New Bedford, where he married and lived for two or three years, supporting himself by day labor on the wharves and in various workshops. In the summer of 1841 he attended an anti-slavery convention at Nantucket, and made a speech which was so well received that he was offered the agency of the Massachusetts anti-slavery society. In this capacity he travelled and lectured through Massachusetts and other New England states for four years. In 1845 he published an autobiography, and soon after its appearance he went to Europe and lectured on slavery to enthusiastic audiences in nearly all the large towns of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. In 1846 his friends in England contributed £150 to have him regularly manumitted in due form of law. He remained two years in Great Britain, and in 1847 he began at Rochester, N. Y., the publication of “The North Star,” whose title was changed to “Frederick Douglass's Paper,” a weekly journal, which he continued for some years. In 1855 he rewrote and enlarged his autobiography, under the title of “My Bondage and my Freedom.” His supposed implication in the John Brown raid in 1859 led Governor Wise of Virginia to make a requisition for his arrest upon the governor of Michigan, where he then was. In consequence of this Mr. Douglass went to England, and remained six or eight months. He then returned to Rochester, and continued the publication of his paper. When the civil war broke out in 1861 he urged upon President Lincoln the employment of colored troops and the proclamation of emancipation. In 1863, when permission was given to employ such troops, he assisted in procuring men to fill up regiments of them, especially the 54th and 55th Massachusetts. After the abolition of slavery he discontinued his paper and applied himself to the preparation and delivery of lectures before lyceums. In September, 1870, he became editor of the “New National Era” in Washington, which is continued under the care of his sons Lewis and Frederick. In 1871 he was appointed secretary to the commission to Santo Domingo; and on his return President Grant appointed him one of the territorial council of the District of Columbia. In 1872 he was elected presidential elector at large for the state of New York, and was appointed to carry the electoral vote of the state to Washington.

It flows for more than two thirds of its length through a highly fertile region, and is a beautiful clear stream.

# The Annotated Prince

"Il Principe (The Prince) is a political treatise by the Florentine public servant and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. Originally called De Principatibus (About Principalities), it was written and circulated in 1513, but not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. The treatise is not representative of the work published during his lifetime, but it is the most remembered, and the work responsible for bringing 'Machiavellian' into usage as a pejorative term."
    —Excerpted from The Prince on Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.
This is the W. K. Marriott translation of the book—published by J. M. Dent (London) and E. P. Dutton (New York) 1908—taken from Project Gutenberg. It also includes a translation of A description of the methods adopted by the Duke Valentino when murdering Vitellozzo Vitelli, Oliverotto da Fermo, the Signor Pagolo, and the Duke di Gravina Orsini and The Life of Castruccio Castracani, as well as an introduction by Herbert Butterfield.

# The Annotated Prince/Chapter I

Chapter I: Of the Various Kinds of Princedom, and of the Ways in Which They Are Acquired
All the States and Governments by which men are or ever have been ruled, have been and are either Republics or Princedoms. Princedoms are either hereditary, in which the sovereignty is derived through an ancient line of ancestors, or they are new. New Princedoms are either wholly new, as that of Milan to Francesco Sforza; or they are like limbs joined on to the hereditary possessions of the Prince who acquires them, as the Kingdom of Naples to the dominions of the King of Spain. The States thus acquired have either been used to live under a Prince or have been free; and he who acquires them does so either by his own arms or by the arms of others, and either by good fortune or by merit.
# The Annotated Prince/Chapter II
## Chapter II: Of Hereditary Princedoms

Of Republics I shall not now speak, having elsewhere spoken of them at length. Here I shall treat exclusively of Princedoms, and, filling in the outline above traced out, shall proceed to examine how such States are to be governed and maintained.
I say, then, that hereditary States, accustomed to the family of their Prince, are maintained with far less difficulty than new States, since all that is required is that the Prince shall not depart from the usages of his ancestors, trusting for the rest to deal with events as they arise. So that if an hereditary Prince be of average address, he will always maintain himself in his Princedom, unless deprived of it by some extraordinary and irresistible force; and even if so deprived will recover it, should any, even the least, mishap overtake the usurper. We have in Italy an example of this in the Duke of Ferrara, who never could have withstood the attacks of the Venetians in 1484, nor those of Pope Julius in 1510, had not his authority in that State been consolidated by time. For since a Prince by birth has fewer occasions and less need to give offence, he ought to be better loved, and will naturally be popular with his subjects unless outrageous vices make him odious. Moreover, the very antiquity and continuance of his rule will efface the memories and causes which lead to innovation. For one change always leaves a dovetail into which another will fit.

## Notes

* ↑ Republics I shall not now speak, having elsewhere spoken of them at length .. A remark usually taken as referring to his Discourses on Livy, in which he analysed the experience of early Rome in order to work out what institutions could preserve a republic.
* ↑ the Duke of Ferrara .. Machiavelli is conflating two rulers of Ferrara, Ercole I (1431-1505) and Alfonso I (1476-1534).
* ↑ leaves a dovetail into which another will fit .. A dovetail joint is a joint technique used in woodworking joinery. Machiavelli uses the italian word addentellato which modern translators such as George Bull choses to translate with toothing-stone (a projection at the end of a wall to provide for its continuation). The word is unusual in English, but so is addentellato in Italian. This passage seems to be the only one in which Machiavelli does use it.

       ‘I behold

       And what am I, that I am here?’
          --Matthew Arnold

## Notes

* ↑ Line 64 from Stanzas from the Grande Chartreuse, first published in Fraser's Magazine (April 1855). The Grande Chartreuse of the poem title is the head monastery for the Carthusian order, situated in a wild and almost inaccessible valley, 4,000 feet above the sea, not far from Grenoble in south-eastern France. Famously, English poet Matthew Arnold wrote one of his finest poems while staying at the monastery. The quiet, serenity, and piety of the place contrasted with what he saw as the violent emerging age of machinery, and the monastic calm became, for him, the sussurations of a dying world.

The Country Of The Camisards
       We travelled in the print of olden wars;
          Yet all the land was green;
          And love we found, and peace,
          Where fire and war had been.
       They pass and smile, the children of the sword—
          No more the sword they wield;
          And O, how deep the corn
          Along the battlefield!
             --W. P. Bannatyne

## Notes

* ↑ The Camisards .. see Camisards.
* ↑ Original RLS poem, later published in Underwoods (1887). W.P. Bannatyne is a pseudo-name for Stevenson. Bannatyne is a Scottish name and could be associated with George Bannatyne (1545-1608) who collected Scottish poems. Memorials of George Bannatyne (1545-1608), was published in 1829 with a memoir by Sir Walter Scott, who also founded Bannatyne Club, devoted to the publication of historical and literary material from Scottish sources.
