# American Medical Biographies/Bates, James

​Bates, James (1789–1882)
James Bates, son of Solomon and Mary Macomber Bates, was born in Greene, Maine, September 24, 1789. At the age of seven he moved with his parents to Fayette, Maine, and when twenty-one he studied medicine with a local physician, Dr. Charles Smith of Fayette, and with Dr. Ariel Mann of Hallowell.
Toward the end of the War of 1812, he was appointed surgeon's mate in the army, and ordered to a hospital on the Canadian frontier, where he took care of the sick and wounded and spent nearly two years in moving them safely back into New England. The sufferings of the patients in the hospital being great, but those likely to be caused by their journey home seeming worse, it was considered wisest to keep them far from home for a while, rather than to see them die from the hardships of travel.
Dr. Bates resigned from the army about 1815, went into partnership with Dr. Mann and married July 27, 1815, Miss Mary Jones of Fayette, with whom he lived happily sixty years and had a family of two sons and three daughters.
Dr. Bates removed to Norridgewock in 1819 and practised there with great renown for twenty-six years, serving as a consultant and performing all of the surgical operations of the day. He was an early member of the Maine Medical Society, and wrote for its meetings a number of papers, amongst which may be mentioned, "On Encephaloid Tumors," "On the Use of Artificial Leeches for Phlebotomy," "On Opium Eating," and "On Division of Arteries to Arrest Aneurism and Hemorrhages."
After some years of practice he was asked to enter politics which he did successfully and served two terms in Congress at Washington. The State of Maine having determined to establish an insane asylum, Dr. Bates was chosen the first superintendent, and in his term of service designed and finished the central pavilion of the Asylum, as it now stands.
He wearied of so confining a life after a not very long term of office, resigned from the Asylum, practised for a while at Fayette, his native town, and in 1858 at the urgent and written invitation of a large number of the inhabitants of Yarmouth, Maine, he settled there, and practised until he was over ninety years of age.
Born to be a leader, he led the people toward things that were good, in every town in which he practised. He spoke much both in public and in private, on temperance, medicine, and agriculture. Though never obstinate he uttered his views with persistence, yet with a good keen sense of humor. Glancing over his long career he seems to have been one of the best all-round men in medicine and surgery that Maine had produced. He died rather suddenly at the last, from the effects of a slight fall, and after a short illness, on February 25, 1882, aged ninety-two years. He said on his death-bed: "My father lived to be ninety-three, his father before him reached the same age, and the only thing that I now ​regret is that I am afraid that I shall not reach that age myself."

# An American Duchess

From The Smart Set, Vol 3, 1901
AN AMERICAN DUCHESS
By Edgar Fawcett
WITH hair like silken bronze and tea-rose face,
Beside her spouse, the Duke, all willowy grace,
Behold her bloom, by many a gazer scanned,
Perched on the box-seat of his four-in-hand.
Two years a Duchess; yet you might declare
Her birth was regal, from that pose and air.
Men's hats are lifted; ladies' heads are bowed;
An affluent homage greets her from the crowd
Whose crest-engraven coaches, glittering, pass
Between the Park's grand elms and fragrant grass.
But always, following like the May wind's flow.
Murmurs the voice of gossip, swift or slow:
"A beauty, of course. You've heard the doleful tale;
Her marriage was the most revolting sale.
"From somewhere off in Yankeeland she came;
Nevada, Kansas—one forgets the name.
"Her father, out of penury's low lairs,
Had risen among the multi-millionaires.
"This Duke of Hull, besmirched, if not disclassed,
With ravaged income and notorious past,
"Roaming the States, in cold ennui, had seen
Her girlhood as it flowered at sweet eighteen.
"Daughter of slum-born upstarts, if you will,
Culture had trained her with triumphant skill.
"Fresh from a Paris pension did she gleam
On the Duke's jaded eyes like some rare dream.
"Then spoke the ambitious parents, deaf to shame:
'Three million dollars for your ducal name.'
"Hull mused an hour or two, then tossed them 'yes.'
They dragged her to the altar, passionless.
"And now? She loathes her lord, the cliques maintain;
Their boy, the little Earl of Dunsinane,
"Died four months old. They've had no children since.
I learn she's beamed on by some royal prince.
"But frost is tropic, if report speaks plain,
Compared with her indifference and disdain.
"Well, so it bides. You've heard what gossip tells
Touching the morals of these English swells.
" 'Wait,' laugh the cynics; 'all her ice and snow
Will melt consentient in the over-glow
" 'Of sumptuous Mayfair and those revels high
At castle and park and manor, by-and-by.'
"Look! that consummate horseman, Sir Guy Vane,
Close at her carriage wheel draws courteous rein.
"She nods and smiles; there's not a man in town
Wickeder than Sir Guy. Observe that frown
"Just flickering in the Duke's gaze, and no more;
He knows this London smart set to its core.
"He knows that here is not the sole Lord Guy
His glacial Duchess may be melted by.
"'Dollars for dignities,' the bargain read;
'Twas clinched. What wonder now that he should dread
"Some shattering blow from circumstance?—espy
The insidious feet of Nemesis draw nigh? . . .
"Come, it grows damper as the sun droops low— These treacherous Maytide evenings chill one so.
"Let us go out by Hyde Park Corner here.
The rhododendrons are superb this year."
London, 1901.

# An Alabama Courtship

Suddenly, as we rounded a bend between two gloomy ravages of rock, there stood before us a young girl, in the green light—her hair as black as I had ever seen, with such a face of white and rose! I stared at her helplessly; Coe, I think, cowered behind me. She looked at us inquiringly a moment; and then, as we neither spoke, turned up the side of the ravine, with her fowling-piece, and vanished by some way unknown to us. I would have followed her, I think, but Coe held me back by the coat-tails.
"Don't," said he. "She's quite welcome to a shot, I am sure."

# An Allegory (Boake)

The fight was over, and the battle won. A soldier, who beneath his chieftain's eye Had done a mighty deed and done it well, And done it as the world will have it done — A stab, a curse, some quick play of the butt, Two skulls cracked crosswise, but the colours saved — Proud of his wounds, proud of the promised cross, Turned to his rear-rank man, who on his gun Leant heavily apart. 'Ho, friend!' he called, 'You did not fight then: were you left behind? I saw you not.' The other turned and showed A gaping, red-lipped wound upon his breast. 'Ah,' said he sadly, 'I was in the smoke!' Threw up his arms, shivered, and fell and died.
This work is in the public domain in Australia because it was created in Australia and the term of copyright has expired. According to Australian Copyright Council - Duration of Copyright, the following works are public domain:
* published non-government works whose author died before January 1, 1955,
* anonymous or pseudonymous works and photographs published before January 1, 1955, and
* government works published more than 50 years ago (before January 1, 1974).
This work is also in the public domain in the United States because it was first published outside the United States (and not published in the U.S. within 30 days), and it was first published before 1989 without complying with U.S. copyright formalities (renewal and/or copyright notice) and it was in the public domain in Australia on the URAA date (January 1, 1996). This is the combined effect of Australia having joined the Berne Convention in 1928, and of 17 USC 104A with its critical date of January 1, 1996.
Because the Australian copyright term in 1996 was 50 years, the critical date for copyright in the United States under the URAA is January 1, 1946.

# An American Epic

Sent to his friend Tevis Clyde Smith around April 1929. First published in The Collected Letters of Robert E. Howard (vol. 1), June 2007
The autumn sun was gettin' low, the day was mighty windy, When Hiram shot the hired man that kissed his girl Dorindy. Them two was in the orchard there,  for apples birds was peckin' When old man Hiram hove in view  and busted up their neckin'. The hired man he took it out across the fields and ditches But Hiram drawed a perfect bead  and shot him in the breeches. The hired man he flagged it on, for he knew other ladies— But Robert Frost can write the rest, or he can go to Hades.

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Knortz. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Knortz, masculine, ‘snag,’ from Middle High German and Old High German knorz, ‘excrescence, knot’; Danish knort, Swedish knórt. Allied to the preceding word?.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Knospe

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Knospe. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Knospe, feminine, ‘bud,’ from Middle High German knospe, masculine, ‘protuberance’; the modern meaning is one of the varied senses in earlier Modern High German; ‘protuberance’ is the primary signification, hence it is natural to connect Knospe etymologically with Knopf; the latter is to be represented in Gothic by *knuppa-, the former by *knuspan- for *knufspan-; in that case -span would be a suffix; *knaspan- may, however, stand for *knusspan-, and be connected with the root knus appearing in Knorre.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Knute

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Knute. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Knute, feminine, ‘knout,’ Modern High German only; borrowed from Russian knut; compare Peitsche.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Knollen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Knollen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Knollen, masculine, ‘clod, bulb,’ from Middle High German knolle, masculine, ‘clod, lump’; Old High German *chnollo, masculine, is wanting. With the Middle High German meaning are connected Anglo-Saxon cnoll, masculine, English knoll; Dutch knol, ‘turnip.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Knoten

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Knoten. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Knoten, masculine, ‘knot,’ from Middle High German knote, knode, masculine, ‘natural knot (on the body and plants), artificial knot in a thread, noose’; Old High German chnodo, chnoto, masculine (the Old High German and Middle High German doublets with t and d appear in Knote and Knödel even as late as Modern High German). Allied to Anglo-Saxon cnotta, masculine, English knot, with differently related dentals; compare Old Icelandic ú-knytter, ‘dirty tricks, and Middle High German knotze, feminine, ‘protuberance’; English to knit, Anglo-Saxon cnyttan, Low German (Voss) knütte, feminine, ‘knitting-needles,’ &c. Old Icelandic knútr, masculine, ‘knot,’ knúta, feminine, ‘dice’; they are related to Anglo-Saxon knotta, like Gothic *knaupa- to *knuppa- (compare Knauf and Knopf), and just as a form with a in the stem (Anglo-Saxon cnœpp) is connected with these words, so is Old Icelandic knǫttr (Gothic *knattus), masculine, ‘ball,’ related to the cognates of Knoten. No indubitably allied term can be adduced from the other Aryan languages. Compare also Knüttel.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Knubbe

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Knubbe. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Knubbe, Knuppe, masculine, ‘knot in wood,’ Modern High German only, from Low German knubbe, the cognates of which see under Knopf. We may also mention Middle High German knübel, to which Knuppe is related, as klauben to Kluppe.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Knust

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Knust. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Knust, Knaust, masculine, ‘crusty piece of bread,’ properly ‘protuberance,’ especially ‘corner of a loaf,’ from Low German; t is a suffix; for knûs- in the sense of ‘knot,’ see under Knorre.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Knopf

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Knopf. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Knopf, masculine, ‘button, knob, pommel,’ from Middle High German and Old High German knopf, masculine, ‘ ​protuberance on plants, bud, pommel of a sword, knot, loop’; compare Anglo-Saxon *cnopp, masculine, English knop, ‘button, bud’; Dutch knop, ‘bud, button, knot on plants.’ Gothic *knuppa- is wanting; under Knauf its graded form Gothic *knaupa- was assumed, which would represent *knauppa-, for the stem loses its final b, as is shown in Middle High German knübel, masculine, ‘knuckle,’ as well as Anglo-Saxon *cnobba, Middle English knobbe, English knob; compare also Modern Dutch knobbel, masculine, ‘knot, bulb, weal,’ and High German Knubbe. Besides the words hitherto adduced, from which we may infer an old u root (compare especially Knauf), there are some abnormal forms, Old Icelandic knappr, ‘button, pommel,’ Anglo-Saxon cnœp, Middle English knap. Compare Knospe, Knubbe, knüpfen, and Knüppel.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Knorpel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Knorpel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Knorpel, masculine, ‘gristle,’ from Middle High German knorpel-, knorbel-, bein knospel, ‘cartilage.’ It cannot be certainly decided whether the word is based on a Gothic knuzba- or *knaúrba-; the former is the more probable for grammatical reasons; Modern Dutch knobbel, Modern Low German knusperknaken, ‘cartilaginous bone.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Knorre

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Knorre. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Knorre, masculine, ‘knotty excrescence,’ from Middle High German knorre, masculine, with the equivalent variant knûre, masculine, ‘knot, protuberance’ (on trees, the body, &c.); knûre also signifies ‘rock, cliff, summit’; in the sense of ‘cuff, push,’ it is connected with Middle High German knüsen (from *knusjan), ‘to push, strike.’ For the other meanings too we must probably proceed from a Gothic word with s (z), as the dialectic forms indicate, Suabian Knaus, ‘knob on a loaf,’ Swiss knus, ‘knot, excrescence.’ English knar, ‘knot in wood,’ Middle English knarre, with the variant knorre, ‘knot, excrescence.’ — Old High German has only the adjective chniurig, ‘knotty, stout, firm,’ derived from *knûr. — Compare Knospe and Knust.
