​TRIST. (Lieutenant, 1808.)
Robert Trist died in 1847.
This officer entered the Navy, in June, 1799, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the St. Albans 64, Capt. Fras. Pender, stationed on the coast of North America; where and in the North Sea he served from the following Oct. until Feb. 1803, in the Assistance and, as Midshipman, in the Waaksamheidt, both commanded by Capt. Hall. In Feb. 1804, he joined the Prince of Wales 98, bearing the flag of Sir Robt. Calder; under whom he took part, 21 July, 1805, in the action with the combined fleets of France and Spain off Cape Finisterre. In March, 1806, three months after he had left the Prince of Wales, he became Master’s Mate of the Insolent gun-brig, Lieut-Commander Morris; and in the following Dec. he joined, in a similar capacity, the Confiance 20, Capt. Jas. Lucas Yeo. On 13 Feb. 1808, in the evening, being off the Tagus, he was sent in command of the cutter and jollyboat, with 16 men, to row guard at the mouth of the river, in consequence of a report, current at Lisbon, that the Russian squadron was about to put to sea. No sooner had he arrived at this station than he perceived a French gun-vessel at an anchor under Fort San Pedro, between the forts of Belem and San Julien; he instantly, in a most gallant manner, boarded, and after an ineffectual resistance on the part of the enemy, carried the French gun-vessel Canonnier, commanded by Enseigne-de-Vaisseau Gaudolphe, and mounting 1 long 24-pounder and 2 brass sixes, with 100 stand of arms, and 50 men. Of these 3 were killed and 9 badly wounded; while the British however, although they had been hailed and fired at in their approach, escaped without loss. As a reward for his conduct Mr. Trist was nominated, 17 of the same month, Acting-Lieutenant of the Alfred 74. He was promoted by the Admiralty 24 March following; and was afterwards, between June, 1808, and Dec. 1815, employed on the Home and West India stations in the Egeria sloop, Capt. Lewis Hole, La Fléche 14, Capt. Geo. Hewson, in a vessel the name of which has escaped us, and in the Southampton 32, Capt. Yeo, and Leveret sloop, Capt. Christian. He did not again go afloat.

​TROTTER. (Retired Commander, 1844. f-p., 1 6; h-p., 42.)
Robert Trotter entered the Navy, 16 Oct. 1789, as an Officer’s Servant, on board the Edgar 74, in which ship and the Royal William he was for nearly two years employed at Portsmouth under the flag of Admiral Roddam. He joined next, in June, 1795, the Charon 44, Capts. Walter Locke and Jas. Stevenson, attached to the Channel fleet; and from the following Dec. until Nov. 1799, he served, on the Home and Mediterranean stations, as Midshipman and Master’s Mate, in the Prince George 98, Capt. Theophilus Jones, Adamant 50, Capts. Henry D’Esterre Darby, Henry Warre, and Wm. Hotham, Europa 50, Capt. J. Stevenson, and Foudroyant 80, Barfleur 98, and Queen Charlotte 100, flag-ships of Lord Keith. In the Adamant he was present, under Capt. Hotham, in the action off Camperdown 11 Oct. 1797. He was also present on shore, and praised by Lieut. Rich. Bourne, his senior officer, for the manner in which he assisted, and the readiness he showed in obeying the orders he received, at the successful defence of the small island of St. Marcouf, when attacked, 7 May, 1798, by a considerable division of the French flotilla. He was made Lieutenant, 15 Nov. 1799, into the Tisiphone sloop, Capt. Chas. Grant, on the West India station; and he was subsequently appointed – 14 June, 1800, to the Solebay 32, Capts. Stephen Poyntz and Thos. Dundas, in which frigate he returned to England and then again visited the North Sea and Mediterranean – 5 July, 1804, after nearly two years of half-pay, to the Albacore sloop, Capt. Major Jacob Henneker, on the Guernsey station – 7 Dec. 1805, to the command of a prison-ship at Portsmouth – and in 1807, to the charge of a Signal-station at Jersey, where he remained until 1811. On 9 Oct. 1804 the Albacore attacked five armed luggers (whom she had compelled the day before to anchor under the cover of a battery near Grosnez de Flamanville) and drove the whole of them on shore in the midst of a very heavy surf that broke with great violence over them. Although herself exposed to a galling fire, and within a few hundred yards only of the coast, she maintained a discharge of round and grape shot until the vessels were abandoned by their crews. Several of the latter appear to have been killed and wounded; but the Albacore, although she was hulled in several places and had her main and maintop masts wounded, escaped without loss. The support afforded by Mr. Trotter on the occasion was spoken of in terms of high approbation. He was placed on the Junior list of Retired Commanders 30 Nov. 1841; and on the Senior 14 May, 1844.

# A Joy For Ever/Preface to the re-issue of 1880

PREFACE
TO THE RE-ISSUE OF 1880.
The title of this book,—or, more accurately, of its subject;—for no author was ever less likely than I have lately become, to hope for perennial pleasure to his readers from what has cost himself the most pains,—will be, perhaps, recognised by some as the last clause of the line chosen from Keats by the good folks of Manchester, to be written in letters of gold on the cornice, or Holy rood, of the great Exhibition which inaugurated the career of so many,—since organized, by both foreign governments and our own, to encourage the production of works of art, which the producing nations, so far from intending to be their "joy for ever," only hope to sell as soon as possible. Yet the motto was chosen with uncomprehended felicity: for there never was, nor can be, any essential beauty possessed by a work of art, which is not based on the conception of its honoured permanence, and local influence, as a part of appointed and precious furniture, either in the cathedral, the house, or the joyful thoroughfare, of nations which enter their gates with thanksgiving, and their courts with praise.
"Their" courts—or "His" courts;—in the mind of such races, the expressions are synonymous: and the habits of life which recognise the delightfulness, confess also the sacredness, of homes nested round the seat of a worship unshaken by insolent theory: themselves founded on an abiding affection for the past, and care for the future; and approached by paths open only to the activities of honesty, and traversed only by the footsteps of peace.
The exposition of these truths, to which I have given the chief energy of my life, will be found in the following pages first undertaken systematically and in logical sequence; and what I have since written on the political influence of the Arts has been little more than the expansion of these first lectures, in the reprint of which not a sentence is omitted or changed.
The supplementary papers added contain, in briefest form, the aphorisms respecting principles of art-teaching of which the attention I gave to this subject during the continuance of my Professorship at Oxford confirms me in the earnest and contented re-assertion.

# A Joy For Ever/Note 4

Note 4th, p. 28.—"Public favour."
137. There is great difficulty in making any short or general statement of the difference between great and ignoble minds in their behaviour to the 'public.' It is by no means universally the case that a mean mind, as stated in the text, will bend itself to what you ask of it: on the contrary, there is one kind of mind, the meanest of all, which perpetually complains of the public, and contemplates and proclaims itself as a 'genius,' refuses all wholesome discipline or humble office, and ends in miserable and revengeful ruin; also, the greatest minds are marked by nothing more distinctly than an inconceivable humility, and acceptance of work or instruction in any form, and from any quarter. They will learn from everybody, and do anything that anybody asks of them, so long as it involves only toil, or what other men would think degradation. But the point of quarrel, nevertheless, assuredly rises some day between the public and them, respecting some matter, not of humiliation, but of Fact. Your great man always at last comes to see something the public don't see. This something he will assuredly persist in asserting, whether with tongue or pencil, to be as he sees it, not as they see it; and all the world in a heap on the other side, will not get him to say otherwise. Then, if the world objects to the saying, he may happen to get stoned or burnt for it, but that does not in the least matter to him; if the world has no particular objection to the saying, he may get leave to mutter it to himself till he dies, and be merely taken for an idiot; that also does not matter to him—mutter it he will, according to what he perceives to be fact, and not at all according to the roaring of the walls of Red Sea on the right hand or left of him. Hence the quarrel, sure at some time or other to be started between the public and him; while your mean man, though he will spit and scratch spiritedly at the public, while it does not attend to him, will bow to it for its clap in any direction, and say anything when he has got its ear, which he thinks will bring him another clap; and thus, as stated in the text, he and it go on smoothly together.
There are, however, times when the obstinacy of the mean man looks very like the obstinacy of the great one; but if you look closely into the matter, you will always see that the obstinacy of the first is in the pronunciation of "I;" and of the second, in the pronunciation of "It."
