Edition of 1920. See also Franz Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
SCHULZE-DELITZSCH, shoolt'sĕ-dā'lĭch, Hermann, German politician and economist: b. Delitzsch, Prussian Saxony, 29 Aug. 1808; d. Potsdam, 29 April 1883. After legal courses at Leipzig and Halle, he entered the Prussian public service; but from 1841 devoted his attention to the economic betterment of small farmers and artisans. Among his various activities, the most important was the establishment of the “people's bank” system, inaugurated at Delitzsch. In these banks, the subscribers made small deposits, obtaining proportional credit and dividends; the management being vested in a board composed of subscribers. In 1859 the more than 200 such banks were centrally organized under the direction of Schulze-Delitzsch. At the time of his death there were in Germany alone 3,500 branches with more than $100,000,000 in deposits; while the system had been extended to Austria, Italy, Belgium and Russia. He published ‘Chapters of a German Workingman's Catechism’ (1863); ‘The Laboring Classes and Associationism in Germany’ (2d ed., 1863); ‘Money Advance and Credit Associations as People's Banks’ (5th ed., 1876). Consult his life by Bernstein (1879).

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Schurz, Carl

Edition of 1920. See also Carl Schurz on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
SCHURZ, shoorts, Carl, German-American publicist, editor and author: b. Liblar, near Cologne, Prussia, 2 March 1829; d. New York City, 14 May 1906. He studied at the University of Bonn, in 1848 with others published a revolutionary journal, in 1849 escaped to the Palatinate upon the failure of an insurrection which he promoted at Bonn, took part in the defense of Rastadt and upon its surrender fled to Switzerland. In 1850 he returned to Germany, going thence to Scotland and to Paris, where he was a correspondent for the German press, and, after a year in London, came to the United States (1852), where until 1855 he resided in Philadelphia. Having then removed to Madison, Wis., he identified himself with the Republican party, and by his speeches made himself an important factor in determining the German element of the State against slavery. He participated in the Lincoln-Douglas senatorial canvass in Illinois, entered legal practice at Milwaukee, was a member of the National Republican Convention of 1860 and assisted largely in the framing of its platform. During the ensuing campaign he spoke much in both German and English. He was appointed by Lincoln Minister to Spain, but in December 1861 resigned to enter the army, receiving a commission as brigadier-general of volunteers. He distinguished himself at the second Bull Run (Manassas), was promoted major-general, 14 March 1863, commanded a division at Chancellorsville, held temporary command of the 11th corps at Gettysburg and took part at Chattanooga. After the war he returned to professional practice, in 1865-66 was Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, and was made by President Johnson a special commissioner to report on the workings of the Freedmen's Bureau. In 1868 he was temporary chairman of the convention that nominated Grant, whom he actively supported in campaign. In 1869-75 he was senator from Missouri. He vigorously opposed many of the leading measures of the Grant administration, in 1872 helped to organize the “Liberal” party and presided over the Cincinnati convention which nominated Greeley, but in 1876 supported Hayes, by whom he was made Secretary of the Interior. He introduced competitive examinations for posts
in the civil service, and provided for forest protection on public domains. From the close of the administration to 1884 he was editor of the New York Evening Post. In the canvasses of 1884, 1888 and 1892 he supported Cleveland. He had been prominently identified with the Civil Service Reform League and later with the Anti-Imperialist League. His speeches and contributions to periodicals were numerous and able. Among his many publications are a volume of ‘Speeches’ (1861), a ‘Life of Clay’ (1887), and ‘Abraham Lincoln: An Essay’ (1891). A statue of him has been erected on Moringside drive at 116th street, New York City.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Schäffle, Albert Eberhard Friedrich

Edition of 1920. See also Albert Schäffle on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
SCHÄFFLE, shā'flĕ, Albert Eberhard Friedrich, German political economist and sociologist: b. Nurtingen, Würtemberg, 24 Feb. 1831; d. Stuttgart, 24 Dec. 1903. He was educated for the ministry at Tübingen but adopted a journalistic career. In 1861 he was called to the University of Tübingen as professor of political economy, and in 1868 to Vienna. His principal contributions to the literature of political science are his ‘National Economy’ (1861-73); ‘Capital and Socialism’ (1870); ‘The Fundamental Principles of Taxation’ (1880);
and ‘Quintessence of Socialism’ (1884, 8th ed., 1885). In 1895 he began to write upon sociological questions and to develop the biological theory of society. His ‘Bau und Leben des socialen Körpers’ is a more detailed attempt to explain society as a living organism than that essayed by any previous writer. This book, completed in 1896, placed him in the ranks of modern sociologists.
# The Fool (Bailey)

* information about this edition.

The prospective reader of this medieval romance had best have a rudimentary knowledge of twelfth century English history, since its major characters, but for Bran, the purely fictitious fool, are King Stephen and Queen Matilda, Thomas a Becket, Henry II and his wife, Eleanor, their sons, John and Richard Coeur de Lion. [...] Not by any means a second "Ivanhoe," the book is still an exceptionally solid specimen. —extract from the review in The Saturday Review, July 1927

Date is estimated
ODE TO LEVEN WATER
ON Leven's banks, while free to rove, And tune the rural pipe to love, I envy'd not the happieſt ſwain That ever trode th' Arcadian plain. Pure ſtream! in whoſe tranſparent wave My youthful limbs I wont to lave; No torrcnts ſtain thy limpid ſource, No rocks impede thy dimpling courſe, That ſweetly warbles o'er its bed, With white, round, poliſh'd pebbles ſpread; While, lightly pois'd, the ſcaly brood In myriads cleave thy cryſtal flood. The ſpringing trout, in ſpeckl'd pride; The ſalmon, monarch of the tide; The ruthleſs pike, intent on war; The ſilver eel and mottley'd par, Devolving from thy parent lake, A charming maze thy waters make, By bow'rs of birch, and groves of pine, And hedges, flow'r'd with eglantine. Still on thy banks, ſo gaily green, May num'rous herds and flocks be ſeen; And laſſes, chanting o'er the pail; And ſhepherds, piping in the dale; And ancient faith, that knows no guile, And induſtry imbrown'd with toil; And hearts reſolv'd, and hands prepar'd, The bleſſings they enjoy to guard!
# The Emeralds

The Emeralds
Under the bowers Where the ocean powers, Sit on their pearled thrones, Through coral woods of weltering floods, Over heaps of unvalued stones, Through the dim beams, Which amid the streams Weave a network of coloured light.

# The Female Prose Writers of America/Ann S. Stephens

Engraved in London from a drawing by W. Croome
ANN S. STEPHENS.
Mrs. Stephens, according to a writer in Graham’s Magazine, was born about the year 1810, in an interior village of the State of Connecticut. She was married at an early age, and soon after removed with her husband to Portland, Maine. Subsequently, they changed their residence to New York, where they have lived ever since.
Mrs. Stephens’s literary career commenced in Portland. Among the first of her friends there, was John Neal, who early appreciated her genius. She projected, and for some time published, the “Portland Magazine,” to which she gave considerable celebrity, chiefly through her own contributions. On removing to New York, she engaged in writing for a more extensive circle of readers, and her fame rapidly widened. An event occurred soon after which gave to her name a special eclat. This was the winning of a prize of four hundred dollars, for the story of “Mary Derwent.” Whatever she has written since that time has been in great demand among periodical publishers. Her tales, sketches, and poems, published in this way, would fill several volumes. Unfortunately, they have never been collected into any more enduring form than that in which they originally appeared.
Mrs. Stephens has a remarkable talent for description, seizing always the strongest points in a picture and bringing them out into bold relief. In the conception and delineation of character, too, she is clear and comprehensive, yet working out her views more by descriptive than dramatic effect, telling how her characters act, rather than setting them into action. In regard to plot, her stories are simple, and rather bare of incident, as if aiming to hurry forward the reader by a strong, torrent-like impulse, rather than to entangle him in a curious and complicated maze. She has shown great versatility, apparently vibrating at will between a vein of the ​richest humour, as in the story of the “Patch-Work Quilt,” and that deep and startling tragedy on which she more commonly relies.
# The Female Prose Writers of America/Ann E. Porter

ANN E. PORTER.
Miss Lydia Ann Emerson was born October 14, 1816, at Newburyport, Massachusetts, where was her home, except when away at school, till 1833. In that year she went to Royalton, Vermont, as an assistant teacher in the Academy of that place.
Her mother died when she was but two years old, and at four she was, with brothers and sisters, under the care of a stepmother. Between three and four years, from her thirteenth to her seventeenth year, she enjoyed a regular course of instruction at the celebrated Ipswich Female Academy. In 1834, she went to Springfield, Vermont, and established a Select School, which met with eminent success.
In 1836, she was invited to the charge of the Southampton Academy, but was early induced to remove to Putnam, Ohio—where she became the principal of a newly opened Female Seminary. During four years’ residence at this interesting place, she experienced many of those incidents of western life, so soul-stirring to the young emigrant. Those only who have enjoyed the sociality of life in a new country, or the hospitality of an earlier age, will be likely to appreciate the recollections of a lone female instructor, thus employed among strangers. It is hoped that her connexion with that seminary and community is still remembered by her pupils and their friends, as it is by herself, with interest and enjoyment.
Newark, Ohio, was the home of another year in Miss Emerson’s diversified life; and the year 1841 was spent most agreeably at that place in charge of the female department of “Delaware Academy,” at the Springs. Here, too, the social freedom peculiar to frontier civilization, had influences on mind and memory, often recurred to with pleasure.
In the autumn of 1841, Miss Emerson became the wife of Mr. Charles E. Porter, of Springfield, Vermont, and she has ever since been a resident of that place.
Mrs. Porter has been an occasional contributor to the periodical press ​since the year 1834: of late, under her own signature. Her thoughts and sketches, though hasty, have endeared her to many friends. She has also contributed two small volumes towards the Sunday School Library. But the labours of love, and the duties of domestic life, have not as yet permitted that concentration of her powers upon any extended work, which some who know her, anticipate, when an appropriate occasion shall come.
# The Female Prose Writers of America/Anne T. Wilbur

ANNE T. WILBUR.
To translate well is a rare accomplishment. So far as mere style and language are concerned, translation is more difficult than original composition. Among the few who have excelled in this line, may be mentioned the lady whose name stands at the head of this article. Her translations have, indeed, the ease and grace and the idiomatic propriety of writings of a native growth. These translations have been from the popular literature of Europe, chiefly from the French, and have consisted mostly of short tales. Some of them have been published in the form of small volumes; others have appeared in periodicals of different kinds.
Besides her translations, Miss Wilbur has written occasionally original articles for the magazines and weekly papers, under the name of “Florence Leigh,” and has performed a considerable amount of editorial labour. As editor of the “Ladies’ Magazine,” published in Boston, in 1848, and of the “Ladies’ Casket,” published the same year, in Lowell, she secured for those works many valuable contributors.
Miss Wilbur was born at Wendell, Massachusetts, in 1817. She is the daughter of the Rev. Henry Wilbur, of Newburyport, extensively known as a lecturer on astronomy, and as the originator of Bible Classes. The secluded life and leisure of a village pastor, led him to take unusual pains in the instruction of his oldest child and only daughter. This, and the possession of a mind constitutionally precocious, led to very early attempts at authorship—the first, a school-girl feat, achieved at the age of eleven, entitled “Grimalkin, a Tragedy,” and ending in the destruction of an entire family of rats.
Miss Wilbur began, at the age of fifteen, to teach, and has been engaged as a teacher until within the last three or four years, which have been occupied with literary labour. Her residence is Newburyport, Massachusetts.
# The Forth Bridge/The Visitors

The Visitors.
Their name is simply legion, for from beginning to end there has been an extraordinary amount of interest shown in this work by all classes of society. From the visit of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, August 23, 1884, down to the present day, hardly a week has passed without bringing some person of rank or distinction. Dom Pedro of Brazil, the Kings of Saxony and of Belgium, and the Shah of Shahs, head this list, which includes, without exaggeration at any rate one-tenth of all people distinguished by rank or by scientific or social attainments.
As in most other matters ladies were to the fore, pluckily climbing into every nook and corner where anything interesting might be seen or learned, up the hoists and down the stairs and ladders, and frequently leaving the members of the so-called stronger sex far behind. It is needless to say that under such circumstances the duties of those called upon to guide the fair visitors were of the most agreeable.
# The Forth Bridge/Water

Water.
Fife.—On the Fife shore the water required was drawn from the mains of the Dunfermline, Aberdour, and Burntisland water supply; but this supply becoming scarce, the contractors were obliged to construct a storage tank above North Queensferry.
Inchgarvie.—As already stated, no water was found on Inchgarvie, and, after some trials with condensers and filters, it was decided to use the lower 5 ft. of the holds of two of the steam barges as water-tanks. A large water-tank was set up on Inchgarvie, and the water was forced from the holds of the steam barges into the tank by means of pulsometers, the latter being worked by the steam of the barges' boilers. The water was taken from either the North Queensferry or South Queensferry supply, and this work was generally performed during the night by one or two barges, there being thus a steamboat available all night in case of emergencies.
Drinking water was supplied to the people on Inchgarvie in iron boxes encased in wood, holding about a cubic yard—the water being always taken from the Dunfermline mains for this purpose.
​South Queensferry.—On the south shore the water was drawn from the pits of the Dalmeny Shale Works for boilers and other general purposes; but it proved too dirty, and some rough filter-beds of gravel had to be constructed to pass it through. Thence it was forced by pumps to an overhead tank set about 60 ft. above the level of the works and shops. This water was conducted in pipes down the incline to the jetty, and, in various leads, all over the works. For drinking purposes another supply pumped from the sandstone was available; but it proved very intermittent, and at times failed altogether. In the summers of 1886 and 1887 a water famine occurred at South Queensferry, and this was met by the contractors placing large iron tanks at the town harbour and sending a steam barge down the Firth to a place called Starleyburn, seven miles away, where a plentiful supply of water could be got. This was forced into the tanks, and could be drawn upon by all free of charge. In 1887 the united parishes of Kirkliston, Dalmeny, and South Queensferry arranged for a supply of water from the Pentland Hills, and this new supply is both plentiful and of first-rate quality, and has been running since the summer of 1888.
