# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Howard University

Edition of 1879. See also Howard University on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
HOWARD UNIVERSITY, an institution of learning in Washington, D. C., organized by a special act of congress in 1867, and named from Gen. O. O. Howard, one of its founders. It was designed to afford advanced instruction especially to colored students, but in the admissions no distinction is made as to color or sex, and among its instructors and students are white and colored persons of both sexes. The university grounds are near the head of Seventh street, where are grouped nine buildings, the chief of which is four stories high and contains rooms for lectures and recitations, a chapel, library, philosophical apparatus, museum, and offices. Miner hall is three stories high, with rooms for 100 young women, while Clark hall has accommodations for 200 male students. The general management of the institution is vested in a board of 21 trustees. The university comprises a normal department with a two years' course of study, including also, for younger students, the model school and the Miner school; the preparatory, with a course of three years; the collegiate, four years; the theological, two years; the law, two years; the medical, three years; and the military, commercial, and musical departments. An examination is required for admission to the collegiate department, and upon the completion of the course the degree of A. B. is conferred. Special efforts have been made to give the law department the most complete facilities for imparting a thorough legal education. From this school have graduated 49 young men and one young woman. The whole number of instructors connected with the university is 28, including 4 in the collegiate, 5 in the theological, 3 in the law, and 9 in the medical department. The number of students in 1872-'3 was 238 in the normal, 100 in the preparatory, 35 in the collegiate, 26 in the theological, 67 in the law, 45 in the medical, 84 in the commercial, and 21 in the musical department; total, after deducting repetitions, 567. About two thirds of the students are colored. Indigent students may be relieved from paying the tuition fee.
The university possesses a library of 7,500 volumes, a mineralogical cabinet, a museum of curiosities, and a picture gallery. Although the government of the United States aided in the establishment of the university, it is now dependent upon contributions and fees received from students. More than $100,000 toward a proposed endowment of $300,000 has been subscribed. Gen. Howard was president of the university until the latter part of 1873, when he resigned, and John M. Langston (colored), dean of the law department, was appointed vice president.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Hortensius, Quintus

Edition of 1879. See also Quintus Hortensius on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
HORTENSIUS, Quintus, a Roman orator, born in 114 B.C., died in 50. At the age of 19 he made a speech in the forum, and gained the applause of the orators Crassus and Scævela. He joined the side of Sulla in the civil war, and afterward was a constant supporter of the aristocratic party. When Cicero first came to the forum Hortensius was called the rex judiciorum. Though professionally rivals, they seem to have lived on friendly terms; and in the beginning of the De Claris Oratoribus, Cicero pays an eloquent tribute to the memory of Hortensius. When obliged to leave the city on account of the impeachment of Clodins, however, Cicero was bitter against the supposed duplicity of Hortensius, and it was not till some time after his return that he was convinced of the injustice of his suspicion. In 81 Hortensius was made quæstor; in 75, ædile; in 72, prætor; and in 69, consul, with Q. Cæcilius Metellus. The year before his consulship occurred the trial of Verres, in which the two rival orators were opposed. After his consulship, Hortensius took an active part against Pompey, opposing the Gabinian law, which gave Pompey the control of the Mediterranean sea, and the Manilian law, which transferred to his command the army against Mithridates. Cicero subsequently joined the same party, and we find them pleading often in common. They defended together C. Rabirius, L. Muræna, and P. Sulla. Ten years before his death Hortensius withdrew from public life. He had acquired great wealth, and owned villas at Tusculum, Bauli, and Laurentum.

# The Bengali Book of English Verse/Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments.
Many of the poems of this book have been taken from magazines no longer in circulation, and from volumes long out of print. In the examination of these sources I have been greatly helped by Mr. S. C. Sanial, Secretary of the Calcutta Historical Society. Mr. J. A. Chapman of the Imperial Library has given much assistance in procuring forgotten but interesting material.
Of living authors who have allowed their verse to appear in this collection, my thanks are due to Mrs. Sarojini Naidu, to Mr. P. R. Das and to Professor Manmohan Ghose. With the exception of one extract, reproduced with the permission of Messrs. Elkin Mathews from "Love Songs and Elegies," the poems of Professor Ghose included in this book are published for the first time. For such as have appeared in the "Presidency College Magazine" I am indebted to the managers of that journal.
In many cases the copyright of books now out of print rests with the family of the author. Here I have to make many grateful acknowledgments. Mr. J. C. Dutt who introduced me to the "Dutt Family Album," published in 1870 by Messrs. Longmans Green, has allowed the reproduction of the verse of his father, Omesh Chunder Dutt. Mrs. G. C. Dutt, Professor B. C. Dutt and Mr. S. C. Dutt have given me permission to include the poems of their relatives. For the work of Sir Jotindra Mohan Tagore I am indebted to his son, the present Maharaja. The members of the Ramkrishna Mission have given one of the poems of the Swami Vivekananda. Mr. R. K. Ghose and Mr. D. C. Mullick have allowed me to select from the writings of the late Nobo ​Kissen Ghose (Ram Sharma). Mr. M. Dutta and the Committee of the Barnagore Victoria School have permitted the inclusion of poems by Roby Dutt.
In the spelling of Bengali names I have adhered in every case to the forms adopted by the authors themselves; and these, in some cases, peculiar forms have been confirmed by the relatives of the writers now deceased.
Messrs. Heinemann have allowed me to select from the poems of Mrs. Sarojini Naidu; and Messrs. Kegan Paul have granted the use of three poems by Toru Dutt and of one poem by Romesh Chander Dutt. The latter's translations from the Mahabharata have been given by Messrs. Dent. Mr. J. N. Bose, the author and publisher of the Bengali biography of Michael Dutt, has given two of the latter's sonnets from that work. Mr. W. I. Keir has generously furnished the cover design.
No anthology of this kind could appear with assurance, were it not introduced by the author of the Gitanjali. I have to acknowledge with thankful appreciation the foreword of Sir Rabindranath Tagore who has allowed me to retain the translation of his poem on Sir Jagadis Chandra Bose.
# The Bengali Book of English Verse/Address to the Ganges (Shoshee Chunder Dutt)

Address to the Ganges.
The waves are dashing proudly down, Along thy sounding shore; Lashing, with all the storm of power, The craggy base of mountain tower, Of mosque, and pagod hoar, That darkly o'er thy waters frown; As if their moody spirits' sway Could hush thy wild and boist'rous play.
Unconscious roll the surges down, But not unconscious thou, Dread spirit of the roaring flood! For ages worshipp'd as a god, And worshipp'd even now— Worshipp'd and not by serf or clown; For sages of the mightiest fame Have paid their homage to thy name.
Canst thou forget the glorious past, When, mighty as a god, With hands and heart unfetter'd yet, And eyes with slavish tears unwet, Each sable warrior trod Thy sacred shore; before the blast Of Moslem conquest hurried by; Ere yet the Mogul spear was nigh?
O'er crumbled thrones thy waters glide, Through scenes of blood and woe; And crown and kingdom, might and sway, The victor's and the poet's bay, Ignobly sleep below. Sole remnant of our ancient pride; Thy waves survive the wreck of time, And wanton free, as in their prime.
I gaze upon thy current strong Beneath the blaze of day; What conjured visions throng my sight, Of war and carnage, death and flight! Thy waters to the Bay In purple eddies sweep along, And Freedom shrieking leaves her shrine, Alas! no longer now divine.
'Twas here the savage Tartar stood, And toss'd his brand and spear; The ripples of thy sacred stream Reflected back his sabre's gleam, While quaked with dastard fear The children of a haughtier blood, No longer now a haughty race, Their own, their sires', their land's disgrace.
But why recount our woes and shame? Upon thy sacred shore Be mine to dream of glories past, To grieve those glories could not last, And muse on days of yore; For ever harp on former fame, Remembering still those spirits brave Who sleep beneath thy boist'rous wave.
Roll, Gunga, roll in all thy pride, Thy hallow'd groves among! Glorious art thou in every mood, Thou boast of India's widowhood, Thou theme of every song! Blent with the murmurs of thy tide The records of far ages lie, And live, for thou canst never die.
# The Bengali Book of English Verse/A Challenge to Fate (Sarojini Naidu)

A Challenge to Fate.
Why will you vex me with your futile conflict, Why will you strive with me, O foolish Fate? You cannot break me with your poignant envy, You cannot slay me with your subtle hate: For all the cruel folly you pursue I will not cry with suppliant hands to you.
You may perchance wreck in your bitter malice The radiant empire of mine eager eyes— Say, can you rob my memory's dear dominion O'er sunlit mountains and sidereal skies? In my enduring treasuries I hold Their ageless splendour of unravished gold.
You may usurp the kingdoms of my hearing— Say, shall my scatheless spirit cease to hear The bridal rapture of the blowing valleys, The lyric pageant of the passing year, The sounding odes and singing harmonies Of battling tempests and unconquered seas?
Yea, you may smite my mouth to throbbing silence, Pluck from my lips power of articulate words— Say, shall my heart lack its familiar language While earth has nests for her mellifluous birds? Shall my impassioned heart forget to sing With the ten thousand voices of the spring?
Yea, you may quell my blood with sudden anguish, Fetter my limbs with some compelling pain— How will you daunt my free, far-journeying fancy That rides upon the pinions of the rain? How will you tether my triumphant mind, Rival and fearless comrade of the wind?
Tho' you deny the hope of all my being, Betray my love, my sweetest dream destroy, Yet will I slake my individual sorrow At the deep source of Universal joy— O Fate, in vain you hanker to control My frail, serene, indomitable soul.

# The Bengali Book of English Verse/A Lament (Prafulla Ranjan Das)

A Lament.
Alas, alas!—the roses cried despairing, That leaf by leaf our glory should decay! That all our splendours should be earth and clay, And dream-like fade for all our crimson daring! No more the winds our raptures wide are bearing, —No more our fragrance doth uplift the day, And passionate pilgrims now no more do stray, Around us dreamless, death's dark splendours wearing!
Yet shall we sigh and raise the mournful wail, Because our Beauty now has ceased to be! Nay, tho' to-day our youth and glory pale, What is to-day to all Eternity! For in fresh raptures of this radiant earth Dead roses come again to crimson birth!

# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Bacon, Augustus Octavius

​BACON, Augustus Octavius, senator, was born in Bryan county, Ga., Oct. 22, 1839. He received a high school education in his native state, and after his graduation from the University of Georgia, in 1859, he studied law in that institution for a year. At the breaking out of the civil war he joined the Confederate army as adjutant, being afterwards commissioned captain, and assigned to general staff duty. In 1866 he was admitted to the bar, and began to practise law at Macon, Ga. He was several times a member of state Democratic conventions, being president of the convention in 1880, and in 1884 was delegate at large to the national convention. In 1868 he was a presidential elector, and in 1871 was elected to the Georgia house of representatives, serving there, by successive re-elections, fourteen years, acting two years as speaker pro tempore, and eight years as speaker. In 1894 he was elected to the United States senate, and was prominent in the 54th congress as an advocate of Cuban independence. He was re-elected in 1900 for the term ending March 4, 1907.
# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Bacon, David William

​BACON, David William, R. C. bishop, was born in New York city, Sept. 15, 1813. He was educated in the parochial schools of his native city and at Mount St. Mary's, Emmittsburg. Md., where he was graduated in philosophy and theology. He was ordained a priest Dec. 13, 1838, and became pastor of the Church of the Assumption in Brooklyn. He was an indefatigable and enthusiastic worker, and lent unwearied efforts to promote the growth of the Roman Catholic ​church in that city. Not content with making his congregation at the Assumption the largest in Brooklyn, he, in 1852, bought land in a new district and built the Church of St. Mary, the Star of the Sea at the time the largest edifice in the "city of churches," where he was a successful pastor for three years. In 1855, the new diocese of Portland, Maine, was erected, and Father Bacon was consecrated its first bishop. His unremitting efforts for the prosperity of his see were crowned with success, but they were strenuous, and his health becoming seriously inpaired, he visited Europe in August, 1874. On his arrival at Brest he was carried from the ship to a hospital, and from thence back to the ship, and died in St. Vincent's hospital, New York, the day after reaching home, Nov. 4, 1874.
# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Bacon, Edmund

​BACON, Edmund, lawyer, was born in Virginia, January, 1776. When very young he attended school at Augusta, Ga., and while yet a boy delivered, at the request of the citizens, an address of greeting to Washington, who was passing through the city. This youthful effort won praise from the citizens and a gift of a number of law books from Washington. After studying law in Litchfield, Conn., he was admitted to the bar, and began to practise in Savannah, Ga. He won a large and lucrative practice, and a reputation as a sound, skillful lawyer. He was employed as attorney in settling the estate of Gen. Nathaniel Greene, near Savannah. Later he removed to Edgefield, S. C, where he remained the rest of his life. He was a man of delightful personality, and was as popular in private life as in his profession. He died at Edgefield, S. C., Feb. 2, 1826.
# The Biographical Dictionary of America/Bacon, Delia

​BACON, Delia, author, was born at Tallmadge, Ohio, Feb. 2, 1811, daughter of David Bacon, missionary, and sister of Leonard Bacon, theologian. She was a teacher, and while so engaged in Boston delivered a series of lectures. She published "Tales of the Puritans" and "The Bride of Fort Edward" (1839). Her next work, and one which became well known, was "The Philosophy of the Plays of Shakespeare Unfolded," with introduction by Nathaniel Hawthorne, in which she attempted to show that Lord Bacon was one of the principal authors of the plays commonly credited to Shakespeare. She died in Hartford, Conn., Sept. 2, 1859.
