# The New Student's Reference Work/Seath, John

See also John Seath in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, and the disclaimer.
​ Seath, John, was born in Fifeshire, Scotland, in 1844. He obtained his degree in arts at Queens College, Belfast, winning prizes and a medal. He moved to Canada in 1861, and in 1862 was appointed headmaster of Brampton High School (Ontario). For ten years (1874-84) he was head-master of the Collegiate Institute at St Catherines, and in 1884 he was appointed inspector of high schools. He is the author of a grammar for senior scholars and of a school-edition of Milton, and is senator of the University of Toronto. Mr. Seath's services to the cause of education in Ontario can scarcely be adequately valued. Especially in the cause of secondary education has he been privileged to do lasting good. He now holds the position of superintendent of education for the province.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Sebastian, St.

See also Saint Sebastian on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Sebastian (sḗ-băs′chan), St., a martyr of the early church, was a native of Narbonne. Under Diocletian he became a captain of the prætorian guard and secretly a Christian. It came to the ears of Diocletian that Sebastian encouraged those who were being led out to death for being Christians; so the emperor had his captain tied to a stake and shot by archers. But they did not wholly kill him; a pious woman named Irene took him away and tended his wounds. As soon as he recovered, Sebastian boldly faced the tyrant and upbraided him for his cruelty. Diocletian then ordered him to be beaten to death with rods (about 288 A. D.). His first martyrdom — a young and handsome soldier bristling with arrows — was a favorite subject for the Italian religious painters, as Mantegna, Veronese and Domenichino.

In the Days When Love Is Dead
By Florence May Wright
In the days when love is dead, When for gravestone at his head Lies a store of memories sweet, While dead hopes lie at his feet, When the flowers of vain regret Scattered on his grave, are wet
With the tears that we shall shed; Will you seek a living love, And forget the old love, dead, And his monument above? Or will you in a patient way Wait love's resurrection day?
# The New Student's Reference Work/Wallace, Alfred Russel

See also Alfred Russel Wallace on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Wallace (wŏl'lā́ ce), Alfred Russel, a distinguished English traveler and naturalist, was born at Usk, Monmouthshire, Jan. 8, 1823, and received his education at the grammar-school at Hertford. From an early age he manifested a great love of nature, with marked scientific tastes. This bent was greatly developed in a voyage he made, in company with W. H. W. Bates, a naturalist, to South America, an account of which he has given us in his Travels on the Amazon and the Rio Negro, with a fund of material on the physical aspects of these great water-systems, enriched by valuable botanical and ornithological collections. Of this voyage we have further results in his Palm-Trees of the Amazon and Their Uses and Tropical Nature, dealing with the colors of bird, animal and insect life and with the geographical distribution of plants and animals, sexual selection etc. A prolonged visit to the Malay Islands (1854-62) is the source of his work on The Malay Archipelago, published in 1869. This and a volume entitled Contributions to the Theory of Natural Selection give him place alongside Darwin as an exponent of evolution—his views on natural selection and variation being, like Darwin's, an explanation of the mode of origin of existing species of animals and plants. A little volume (issued in 1889), explains his theories in regard to evolution and Darwin's work: the volume is entitled Darwinism. Two other works from his pen also throw valuable light on the evolutionary theory, viz., Natural Selection (1870) and The Geographical Distribution of Animals (1876). For these labors, Doctor Wallace received the founder's gold medal of the Royal Geographical Society, the gold medal of the Linnaean Society and the first Darwin medal of the Royal Society. Among his other published works are a volume on Australasia, contributed to Stanford's Compendium of Geography and Travel; The Wonderful Century, Its Successes and Its Failures (1898); Island Life (1880); Miracles and Modern Spiritualism (1874); Bad Times (1835); and Land Nationalization (1882). He died in London, Nov. 7, 1913. See Autobiography (1905).
# The New Student's Reference Work/Wallace, Lewis

See also Lew Wallace on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Wallace, Lewis, an American general and writer, was born at Brookville, Ind., in 1827. His military service was in the Mexican War and in the Civil War, where he commanded a division at the capture of Fort Donelson, and guarded Cincinnati when besieged by Gen. Kirby Smith. In July, 1864, though defeated by General Early who was marching on Washington, his attack detained the Confederate forces until Grant had re-enforced the capital. He was governor of New Mexico from 1878 to 1881 and minister to Turkey from 1881 to 1885. His writings include The Fair God, a story of the conquest of Mexico; Life of Benjamin Harrison, The Boyhood of Christ, The Prince of India and the most popular of his works, Ben Hur, a Tale of the Christ. He died on Feb. 15, 1905.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Walloons

See also Walloons on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Walloons (wŏl-lo͞onz′), the name of the people living in southeastern Belgium, who differ from the rest of the Belgians by language and by their darker color. They are descendants of the Belgæ, a tribe of Gauls, who held their ground among the Ardennes Mountains when the rest of Gaul was overrun by German conquerors. Their language is a French dialect, with a large proportion of Gallic words. The name Walloon, that is, foreign, was given them by their Flemish neighbors. They are steadily increasing in numbers, and are likely soon to overbalance the Flemish population of Belgium, as they already take the lead in everything except music and painting. They number about two and one half millions.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Wallace, Sir William

See also William Wallace on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Wallace, Sir William, the most popular national hero of Scotland, was born about 1270. While studying at Dundee, so tradition relates, he killed a young Englishman in revenge for an insult, and was outlawed. He gathered around him a band of desperate men, whom he led in attacks on the English. His followers and his successes increased until the English king recognized it as an insurrection, and sent an army against the insurgents, when most of the nobles deserted Wallace. He fled to the north, soon collected another army, and drove the English from Scotland, and was chosen guardian of Scotland in 1297. The English renewed the contest, and, the Scottish nobles again deserting, Wallace was defeated at the battle of Falkirk, 1298, and a price put upon his head. He was captured and executed as a traitor, Aug. 22, 1305, though he denied the accusation of treachery, saying he could not be a traitor to the king of England, as he had never been his subject. Consult Jane Porter's The Scottish Chiefs; Early Days of Wallace by Bute; Life by Carrick; and Tales of a Grandfather by Sir Walter Scott.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Walnut

See also Walnut on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Wal′nut, species of Juglans, and native of the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. They are fine forest-trees, and also yield most valuable timber. The nuts of various species are well-known. The English walnut is J. regia, and is the common walnut of commerce. Its commercial culture in this country is practically confined to California, though it is grown in widely scattered portions of the country. Nut-culture in California has become a very important industry, walnut orchards a feature of the state. They are found along the coast and in the interior valleys. Hardy varieties are grown up into southern Oregon. Nuts are shaken from the trees, spread out in trays to dry, and bleached before shipping. Much damage has been done by a bacterial blight of the nut, in battling with which spraying with Bordeaux mixture is employed. The common black walnut of the United States is J. nigra, well known for its fine, dark timber as well as for its characteristic nuts. The tree is distributed generally in this country, but is not very common in the eastern states, being more familiar in rich lands of the Mississippi Basin. It is of slow growth, attains a height of 100 feet, and with its towering and great trunk presents a massive and splendid appearance. The bark is rough and blackish, foliage a light yellowish-green, from 13 to 23 leaflets growing on a stalk. The leaves come late and fall early, and the tree is further deprived of its foliage by the ravaging of countless fall web-worms. The round, black, sharply-furrowed nuts are of excellent flavor. They are encased in a greenish-yellow husk. The wood is heavy, strong and close-grained, and has been so greatly in demand for furniture, interior finish and gunstocks, that the tree is scarcely to be counted longer as a forest tree. The butternut or white walnut is J. cinerea, ranging from New England southward to Georgia and westward. It grows from 30 to 50 to 100 feet, has spreading horizontal branches; the bark is grayish, stalks sticky, leaflets oval, sessile. In the scarce foliage there is much of yellow. The wood is light brown, takes a high polish, and is used for furniture and interior finish. The rough, brown, oblong nut, pointed at one end, has a sweet, oily kernel.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Walpole, Sir Robert

See also Robert Walpole on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Walpole, Sir Robert, Earl of Orford, an English statesman, was born at Houghton in Norfolk, England, Aug. 26, 1676. He studied at Eton and Cambridge. Entering Parliament in 1701, he became secretary of war in 1707 and treasurer of the navy in 1709. He defended the Whig party both with voice and pen, and his political enemies brought against him a charge of corruption, for which he was expelled from the house of commons and imprisoned in the Tower. With the accession of George I he became in succession privy councilor, chancellor of the exchequer and first lord of the treasury. Jealousy among the Whigs and the opposition of the German favorites of the king compelled Walpole's resignation in 1717, but in 1721 he was again called to power, and remained prime minister of England until 1742. His policy was to maintain peace abroad and quiet at home, and during his administration the country was very prosperous. The difficulties between King George II and the Prince of Wales led to his resignation, when he was made Earl of Orford. Charges of bribery were brought against him, but failed to be supported, though he doubless did not scruple to gain his ends by this means. He died in 1745.

See also Albrecht von Wallenstein on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Wallenstein (wŏl'lĕn-stīn), Albrecht Eusebius von, was born in Bohemia, Sept. 24, 1583. After the death of his parents, who were Protestants, he was sent by an uncle to the Jesuit College at Olmutz, where he joined the Roman church. His studies at Altdorf, Bologna and Padua resulted principally in a faith in astrology and trust in the stars. He served in the Hungarian army and on the side of the emperor in the troubles in Bohemia, securing in the confusion the large estates belonging to his mother's family and confiscated lands, which he formed into a state called Friedland; and in 1623 he was given the rank of prince. In 1626 Wallenstein raised an army of 30,000 men for Emperor Ferdinand, and joined with Tilly, the great German general, against Christian IV, who was obliged to accept terms of peace in 1629, though Wallenstein had failed in his plan of reaching the sea and destroying the naval power of Scandinavia and of England. He secured for himself the duchy of Mecklenburg. His success, ambition and arrogance made the princes of the kingdom combine against him, and to prevent civil war the emperor in September, 1630, removed him from the head of the army; but with the advance of Gustavus Adolphus he was recalled, and in 1632 with an army of 40,000 men he drove the Saxons from Bohemia and attacked the Swedish army at Nuremberg and Lützen, where, though Wallenstein's forces were defeated Gustavus Adolphus was killed. Wallenstein failed to follow up the advantage this gave the Austrians, as he was secretly negotiating with Saxony, Sweden and France, with the condition that he should be given Bohemia. He had blind confidence in his army and in his destiny, as foretold to him by his astrologers, and did not realize his danger, though knowing that the emperor knew of his plans, until an order was issued at Prague, charging him with treason, and naming his successor. He fled with 1,000 followers to Eger, where he was assassinated on Feb. 25, 1634. Though the deed was not ordered by the emperor, the murderers were rewarded. Schiller made his career the subject of a tragedy, translated by Coleridge as Wallenstein's Death. Consult Life by Mitchell; The Thirty Years' War by Schiller; and The House of Austria by Cox.

Wal′pole, Horace, Earl of Orford, an English author, was born at London in 1717. He studied at Eton and Cambridge, traveled in Italy, and took his seat in Parliament in 1741, but never was active in public life. His home at Twickenham near London, called Strawberry Hill, adorned with vast collections of pictures, books, manuscripts, armor etc., was one of the sights of the time, and admittance was granted by ticket to parties of four from May to October. His writings include Castle of Otranto, Memoirs of the Last Ten Years of the Reign of George II, Memoirs of the Reign of George III, Catalogue of Royal and Noble Authors, Historic Doubts on the Life and Reign of King Richard III, Anecdotes of Painting in England and Catalogue of Royal and Noble Authors of England. But his fame rests upon his Letters, which are the product of years of acquaintance with public men and events, and entitle him to the rank of one of the best letter-writers in English literature. He died on March 2, 1797. See Letters, edited by Cunningham; George Selwyn and His Contemporaries by Jesse; and essay on Letters of Horace Walpole by Macaulav.
