In Rewards and Fairies (1910), accompanying the story The Tree of Justice.
Our Lord Who did the Ox command  To kneel to Judah's King, He binds His frost upon the land  To ripen it for Spring -- To ripen it for Spring, good sirs,  According to His Word. Which well must be as ye can see --  And who shall judge the Lord?
When we poor fenmen skate the ice  Or shiver on the wold, We hear the cry of a single tree  That breaks her heart in the cold -- That breaks her heart in the cold, good sirs,  And rendeth by the board. Which well must be as ye can see --  And who shall judge the Lord?
Her wood is crazed and little worth  Excepting as to burn, That we may warm and make our mirth  Until the Spring return -- Until the Spring return, good sirs,  When Christians walk abroad; When well must be as ye can see --  And who shall judge the Lord?
God bless the master of this house,  And all who sleep therein! And guard the fens from pirate folk,  And keep us all from sin, To walk in honesty, good sirs,  Of thought and deed and word! Which shall befriend our latter end....  And who shall judge the Lord?

# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Hurlock (George)

​HURLOCK (GEORGE), bookseller in London; neere St. Magnus Comer, Thames Street, 1634-46. Took up his freedom May 12th, 1634, and is believed to have succeeded to the business of John Tap. Dealt in works on navigation. In 1633 a fire destroyed a large number of houses on the north side of London Bridge, but apparently this house escaped. His name occurs in 1641 in a list of those stationers who had paid the poll tax. [Domestic State Papers, Charles I, vol. 483 (11).]
# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Husband (Edward)

​HUSBAND (EDWARD), printer (?) and bookseller in London; The Golden Dragon, near the Inner Temple, 1641-60. Took up his freedom March 3rd, 1634 [Arber, iii. 687], at which time he was certainly not a printer. He appears to have been one of several stationers to whom the Long Parliament farmed out its printing. In the Calendar of Domestic State Papers, Charles I, Addenda (March, 1625, to January, 1649), pp. 626-7, the statement is made that he was the publisher of the Diurnal Occurrences of this great and happy Parliament, 1641, and of a companion volume entitled Speeches & Passages in this great and happy parliament, 1641, but the imprints state that these works were printed for William Cooke, of Furnival's Inn. There is no mention of Husband either as printer or publisher, and the only foundation for the statement appears to be a MS. note bound in with the Burney copy of the Diurnal which does not quote any authority for its assertion. As early as August 1st, 1642, the Commons Journals record an order made for payment to "Usbands & Francke of their account for printing divers parcels by order ​of this House," but this proves nothing more than that they were given the order, and Husband certainly gave the printing to others. In 1646 he published a Collection of Orders, Ordinances and Declarations of Parliament … from Mar 9th 1642 … until December 1646. Again in 1650 the Council of State ordered him to collect all the ordinances down to the Act for the trial of the King, examine them, and "have them printed," as well as all the Acts from the trial of the late King to that date. [Calendar of State Papers, Domestic, 1650, p. 157.] On May 5th, 1660, he was again selected, this time with T. Newcombe, as printer to the Council of State, but he disappears at the Restoration.

​HUNT (WILLIAM), bookseller and printer in London; Pye-Corner, 1647-60. His name is first met with on the petition of the Clothiers and Weavers presented to the House of Commons in 1647. [B.M. 669, f. 11 (2).] In 1651 he added printing to his bookselling business, and jointly with Edward Griffin printed an edition of Amos Komenski's Janua Linguarum Reserata in 1652. His most important work was Randle Cotgrave's ​French and English Dictionary, of which he printed two editions in folio, those of 1650 and 1660. In order to make the edition of 1660 as complete as possible he sent out interleaved copies of the previous edition to scholars inviting corrections and additions.

# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Hunscot (Joseph)

​HUNSCOT (JOSEPH), bookseller in London; Stationers Hall, 1624-60. Son of John Hunscot, of Wardenton, co. Oxon. Apprentice to Thomas Ensor for eight years from March, 1604. [Arber, ii. 275.] Took up his freedom March 23rd, 1612. [Arber, iii. 683.] First book entry January 9th, 1624. Appointed Beadle to the Company of Stationers. Was for some time printer to the Long Parliament, in which he was succeeded by Edward Husband. Joseph Hunscot was very active in seeking out secret presses, and in 1645 he unearthed one such press at Goodman's Fields in the East end of London. In 1649 he was appointed to assist the Masters and Wardens of the Company in carrying out the Act of that year, and seized a press belonging to Edward and John Crouch and was allowed to retain it as a reward for his services. He was still living in 1660, when he appointed a deputy to carry the Company's banner on horseback at the entry of Charles II into the City, and was allowed 20s. for his fee.

​HUNT (THOMAS), bookseller in Exeter; St. Peter's Churchyard, 1640-48. Probably the son of Christopher Hunt, of Exeter, who was publishing between 1593 and 1606. His name is found on a broadside in verse entitled Stand up to your belief. [Lutt Coll. ii. 209.] A contemporary news-sheet, Mercurius Civicus for October 1st, 1645, states that a press had lately been brought to Exeter and that Thomas Fuller's Good Thoughts in Bad Times was printed at it for "malignant Hunt." Mr. Allnutt in his papers on English Provincial Presses notices some other books on sale by Thomas Hunt, notably Robert Herrick's Hesperides, 1648. [Biblographica, vol. ii. p. 289.]

From volume 2 of the work.
​KULLAK, Theodor, born Sept. 12, 1818 (not 1820, as Fétis supposes), at Krotoschin in the province of Posen, where his father held the post of 'Landgerichts-sekretär.' He was first intended for the law, but preferred to devote himself to music. He was a pupil of Hauck's from his 11th year, having previously been under the tuition of Albert Agthe. In 1842 he became a pupil of Czerny, and in 1846 was made Hofpianist to the King of Prussia. He founded, in conjunction with Stern and Marx, a Conservatorium at Berlin in 1851 [App. p.693 "1850"]; and in 1855, in consequence of some disagreement with his fellow-workers, he started a new institution under the name of 'Neue Akademie der Tonkunst' in the same city, where he himself continues to reside. [App. p.693 "date of death, March 1, 1882."] He has devoted his attention principally to the 'drawing-room' style of composition, and has published many transcriptions and arrangements for the piano, which are very popular. Of his original works the following are the most remarkable:—Grand concerto in C minor for piano and orchestra (op. 55); Trio for piano and strings (op. 77); Duos for piano and violin; Ballades, Boleros, etc., for piano solo; 'Les Étincelles,' ' Les Danaïdes,' 'La Gazelle,' etc.; also collections of small pieces, such as 'Deux Portefeuilles de Musique,' 'Kinderleben,' 2 sets of pieces (op. 81), 'Les Fleurs animées.' Among his later works may be mentioned 'Ondine' (op. 112), 'Concert-étude' (op. 121). In 1877 he published a second edition of his 'Octave-school,' which is very valuable as an instruction book.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Kuhlau, Friedrich

From volume 2 of the work.
​KUHLAU, Friedrich, a musician of some distinction in his day. He was born of poor parents at Uelzen in Hanover, March 13 [App. p.693 "Sept. 11"], 1786, and had the misfortune to lose an eye at an early age. The loss did not however quench his ardour for music. During a wandering life he contrived to learn the piano and the flute, and to acquire a solid foundation of harmony and composition. Germany was at that time under French rule, and to avoid the conscription he escaped to Copenhagen, where he became the first flute in the king's band. He then settled in Denmark, acquired a house in Lyngbye, near Copenhagen, to which he fetched his parents, composed half-a-dozen operas, was made professor of music and court composer, and enjoyed a very great popularity. In the autumn of 1825 he was at Vienna, and Seyfried has preserved a capital story of his expedition to Beethoven at Baden with a circle of choice friends, of the way in which the great composer dragged them at once into the open air, and of the jovial close of the day's proceedings. Kuhlau, ​inspired by champagne and the presence of Beethoven, extemporised a canon, to which Beethoven responded on the spot, but thought it wise to replace his first attempt next morning by another, which is one reiterated joke on the name of his guest—
and was accompanied by the following note:
   Baden, 3 September, 1825.
   I must confess that the champagne got too much into my head last night, and has once more shewn me that it rather confuses my wits than assists them; for though it is usually easy enough for me to give an answer on the spot, I declare I do not in the least recollect what I wrote last night Think sometimes of your most faithful
   Beethoven.

From volume 2 of the work.
​KRUMPHOLZ, Johann Baptist, celebrated harpist and composer, born about 1745 at Zlonitz near Prague; son of a bandmaster in a French regiment, lived in Paris from his childhood, learning music from his father. The first public mention of him is in the 'Wiener Diarium' for 1772; he had played at a concert in the Burgtheater, and advertised for pupils on the pedal-harp. From Oct. 1773 to March 1776 he was a member of Prince Esterhazy's chapel at Esterhaz, taking lessons from Haydn in composition, and already seeking after improvements in his instrument. He next started on a concert-tour, playing at Leipzig on an 'organisirten Harfe.' He then settled in Paris, where he was highly esteemed as a teacher and virtuoso. Nadermann built a harp from his specifications, to which attention was drawn by an article in the 'Journal de Paris' (Feb. 8, 1786), and which Krumpholz described in a preface to his sonata, op. 14. His wife played some pieces on it before the Académie, Krumpholz accompanying her on the violin, and on the 'Pianoforte contrebasse' or 'Clavichord à marteau,' another instrument made by Erard from his specifications. The Académie expressed their approval of the new harp in a letter to Krumpholz (Nov. 21, 1787). He drowned himself in the Seine in 1790 from grief at the infidelity and ingratitude of his wife.
Gerber gives a list of his compositions, which are still of value. They comprise 6 grand concertos, 32 sonatas with violin accompaniment, preludes, variations, duets for 2 harps, a quartet for harp and strings, and symphonies for harp and small orchestra, published in Paris and London.
His wife, née Meyer, fromMetz, eloped with a young man to London. She was even a finer player than her husband, making the instrument sound almost like an Eolian harp. In London she gave her first concert at Hanover Square Rooms, June 2, 1788, and for many years appeared with great success at her own and Salomon's concerts, at the oratorios in Drury Lane, and at Haydn's benefit. She frequently played Dussek's duos concertantes for harp and pianoforte with the composer. She is mentioned in 1802, but after that appears to have retired into private life.

​St. Olacie, Olaille, Olaire, Eulalia. Saints of these names, when met with in the south of France, generally mean Eulalia of Barcelona.
# A Dictionary of Saintly Women/Olive (1)

​St. Olive (1), Olivia, Uliva, March 5, V. M., 2nd century. The name of "St. Olivia" of Brescia is a corruption of "St. Illidius," but there is a tradition that this saint was a virgin pat to death for the faith, with various tortures, in the time of the Emperor Adrian. Her relics were kept in the church of St. Afra at Brescia in Italy. In the year 1597, a certain priest had a right to some property, but it was kept from him by a powerful adversary. Having spent nearly all his patrimony in trying to get possession of it, he made a vow to offer a precious gift to St. Olive in the event of his succeeding. He immediately gained his cause without more trouble, and fulfilled his vow by offering, with all reverence and devotion, a golden olive branch with fruit on it, to the relics of the holy Saint, in the church of the Capuchins, at Salo, on the western shore of the lake of Benaco.

# A Dictionary of Saintly Women/Matilda (2)

​B. Matilda (2), Feb. 6 or 7, + 999. Eldest child of Otho the Great by his second wife Adelaide (3).—Matilda was abbess of Quedlinburg, founded in 966 by her grandmother Matilda (1). It was one of the great, rich, important monasteries, whose abbess was almost always a princess of the royal or imperial family and was ex officio a powerful personage, having a seat in the diets and councils of the empire. Her nephew Otho III. made her Regent of Germany during his absence in Italy; which office she filled with great wisdom and dignity. She died with reputation of eminent piety, a few months before her mother, who leaned much on her for advice and comfort. She is called Saint by Lahier. Stadler.
# A Dictionary of Saintly Women/Mlada Bolesla

​St. Mlada Bolesla, Feb. 8, March 28, + c. 995, O.S.B., called also Madla, Madila, Milada, and in religion Mary. Princess of Bohemia. Founder and first abbess of the nunnery of St. George at Prague. Daughter of Boleslas the Cruel, duke of Bohemia (936-967). Great-granddaughter of St. Ludmilla. Sister of Boleslas II. the Pious.
Mlada was devout and learned. She went to Rome to pray at the places consecrated by the footsteps of the apostles and the blood of the martyrs. She remained there a considerable time, and learned monastic rule. When she had given sufficient proof of her good disposition and ability. Pope John XIII. sent her back to Prague to confirm the still new Christianity of her own country. He considered Mlada a barbaric name, and found it difficult to pronounce; he therefore gave the princess the name of Mary, with the Benedictine rule and the staff of an abbess, and charged her with apostolic letters to her brother, the Duke. In the letter of John XIII. to Boleslas II., preserved by Mabillon, the Pope enjoins him to uphold the Roman Church and not to suffer the Slavonian rite in any of the churches he builds. On her return, Mlada built the Benedictine nunnery of St. George, in the citadel of Prague, about the year 986. Here she presided over many nuns and helped to Christianize the nation until her death. She is buried in the chapel of St. Anne, in the great church of St. Vitus and St. Wenceslaus, which was constituted an episcopal church by a bull obtained by her from the Pope. And there she is commemorated, Feb. 8, by the nuns in their very ancient private breviary. AA.SS.O.S.B. Chanowski, Vestigium Bohemiæ Piæ. Palacky, Böhmen. Wion, Lignum Vitæ. Eneas Silvius, Hist.
