EDMUND CRAWLEY, Esq Vice-Admiral of the Red.
This officer commanded the Savage, of 14 guns on the American station, at the close of the war with the colonies; and during the Spanish armament, the Wasp sloop, employed in the Channel. He was promoted to the rank of Post-Captain, Nov. 22, 1790; and about the latter end of the year 1795, appointed to the Lion, of 64 guns, in which ship he went to the West Indies. On his return from thence, he was stationed in the North Sea. His commission as Rear-Admiral, bears date Oct. 25, 1809. On the 4th June, 1814, he was advanced to the rank of Vice-Admiral.

#### Addenda

​ADMIRAL CRAWLEY, (p. 386.) Is, we believe, the son of a Purser, R.N.; if so, his brother commanded the ship to which his father at one time belonged.

# Second April/CITY TREES

CITY TREES
The trees along this city street,
Save for the traffic and the trains, Would make a sound as thin and sweet As trees in country lanes.
And people standing in their shade Out of a shower, undoubtedly Would hear such music as is made Upon a country tree.
Oh, little leaves that are so dumb Against the shrieking city air, I watch you when the wind has come,— I know what sound is there.
# Second April/JOURNEY

JOURNEY
Ah, could I lay me down in this long grass And close my eyes, and let the quiet wind Blow over me,—I am so tired, so tired Of passing pleasant places! All my life, Following Care along the dusty road, Have I looked back at loveliness and sighed; Yet at my hand an unrelenting hand Tugged ever, and I passed. All my life long Over my shoulder have I looked at peace; And now I fain would lie in this long grass And close my eyes.
Yet onward!
Cat-birds call
Through the long afternoon, and creeks at dusk Are guttural. Whip-poor-wills wake and cry, Drawing the twilight close about their throats. Only my heart makes answer. Eager vines Go up the rocks and wait; flushed apple-trees Pause in their dance and break the ring for me; Dim, shady wood-roads, redolent of fern And bayberry, that through sweet bevies thread Of round-faced roses, pink and petulant, Look back and beckon ere they disappear. Only my heart, only my heart responds. Yet, ah, my path is sweet on either side All through the dragging day,—sharp underfoot, And hot, and like dead mist the dry dust hangs— But far, oh, far as passionate eye can reach, And long, ah, long as rapturous eye can cling, ​ The world is mine: blue hill, still silver lake, Broad field, bright flower, and the long white road. A gateless garden, and an open path: My feet to follow, and my heart to hold.

# Second April/SPRING

SPRING
To what purpose, April, do you return again? Beauty is not enough. You can no longer quiet me with the redness Of little leaves opening stickily. I know what I know. The sun is hot on my neck as I observe The spikes of the crocus. The smell of the earth is good. It is apparent that there is no death. But what does that signify? Not only under ground are the brains of men Eaten by maggots. Life in itself Is nothing, An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs. It is not enough that yearly, down this hill, April Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.
# Second Amendment Comes First

April 5, 2007
The Constitution provides that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The Framers of the Constitution did not restrict Congress's power on a whim. It was, and still remains, to protect rights that are basic to the preservation of our republic.
That's why March 9, 2007, could be viewed as a banner day for all Americans. On that day, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia overturned the District's oppressive firearms laws, which were some of the most draconian in the nation, thereby ensuring that the citizens of Washington, D.C., will be able to enjoy this important civil liberty.
Unfortunately, D.C. residents will likely have to wait a year or more to legally possess a working firearm for self-defense in the home, as the decision has been stayed pending en banc review or an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, as promised by the mayor.
Meanwhile, I recently joined my colleagues in sponsoring the Personal Protection Act to completely overturn the District's gun ban and restore to the people their basic right to keep and bear arms.

# Royal Naval Biography/Nares, William Henry

WILLIAM HENRY NARES, Esq. [Commander.]
Passed his examination in Aug. 1808; obtained the rank of lieutenant on the 17th April, 1809; and subsequently served in the Roman sloop, Captain Samuel Fowell, Apollo 38, Captain Bridges V. Taylor, and Havannah 30, Captain Gawen William Hamilton, on the Mediterranean station, where he distinguished himself on many occasions, particularly at the capture of three Franco-Italian gun-vessels, near the island of Fano, in the Adriatic, May 28th, 1813, and in a subsequent affair thus officially reported:
“H.M.S. Apollo, off Corfu, June 15th, 1813.
“Sir,– At daylight last Thursday morning, being off the north end of Corfu, and suspecting four vessels to be bound there from Barletta, with grain, but prevented getting in by the position of the Apollo, I, previous to hauling out to examine them, detached our barge, launch, first gig, and jolly-boat, under Lieutenant William Henry Nares, Lieutenant Colin Campbell, R.M., and Messrs. Hutchinson, Lancaster, and Brand, midshipmen, to watch them at the south end.
“They were, as I had anticipated, met going in. One ran on shore under Cape Bianco, and was scuttled; the others would have been captured had the attention of the barge, gig, and jolly-boat not been drawn off by a French gun-vessel, which they took after some resistance. She mounted five long guns, a twelve and a six-pounder. Nine of the enemy were badly wounded, among whom was the commander and a captain of engineers. Mons. Baudrand, colonel and chief of engineers of Corfu, (reported of very great abilities,) was also in her, having been to Parga and Pado to improve the fortifications.
“The launch was despatched to St. Maura with the prize, and the wounded landed at Corfu, under a flag of truce.
“The delay of the latter caused our other boats to remain near Morto, ​in Albania, and at daylight the following morning they were attacked by six gun-vessels, a felucca, and a row-boat, all full of troops. Lieutenant Nares, finding they came up fast with a breeze, ran the barge and jolly-boat on shore upon the border of the French territory of Parga; he then, with the few men he had, prevented this great force from landing, until his ammunition was expended.
“The enemy must have suffered much, as he retreated four times from the beach; our loss was only one man, taken from the shore. The boats being destroyed, the enemy only carried off pieces of the wreck. I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed)“B. W. Taylor.”
Mr. Nares was promoted to the command of the Philomel sloop, July 1st, 1814. He married, August 26th, 1820, Elizabeth, daughter of the late John Alexander Dodd, of Redbourn, co. Herts, Esq.

# Royal Naval Biography/Napier, William John

Layout 2
RIGHT HON. LORD NAPIER. Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. [Post-Captain of 1814.]
Is descended from John Napier, “to whom” says Hume, the historian, “the title of Great Man is more justly due, than to any other whom his country ever produced.” He was the inventor of the Logarithms and Robdologice, commonly called “Napier’s Bones;” and likewise author of a “Treatise on the Revelation of St. John.” These works will remain lasting monuments of his sublime judgment, knowledge, and penetration. His only son by his first wife was created a Scotch peer, by the title of Baron Napier, May 4, 1627. The officer of whom we are now to speak, is the eldest son of Francis, seventh Lord Napier, one of the 16 representative peers for Scotland, by Maria Margaret, eldest daughter of Sir William Clavering, K.B.
The Hon. William John Napier was born Oct. 13, 1786. He served part of his time as midshipman under Lord Cochrane, in the Imperieuse frigate, and commanded one of her boats at the attack of Arcasson, Jan. 7, 1807. His first commission bears date Oct. 6, 1809; from which period he served in the Kent 74, Captain Thomas Rogers, and Sparrowhawk 18, Captain James Pringle, on the Mediterranean station, until his promotion to the rank of commander, June 1, 1812. He was then appointed to the Goshawk 16, stationed on the coast of Catalonia, where he had the misfortune to be wrecked Sept. 21, 1813.
We next find Captain Napier commanding the Erne corvette, of 20 guns, to which ship he appears to have been appointed in Mar. 1814. He received a post commission June 4 following; married Mar. 28, 1816; became F.R.S.E. Jan, 20, 1818; succeeded his father, Aug. 1, 1823; and obtained the command of the Diamond 46, fitting for the South American station. May 6, 1824. His next brother, ​Francis, died second lieutenant of the Argo 44, at Port Royal in 1814.

I am in general agreement with what the Court says in its opinion. I think, however, that the New York statute is underinclusive as well as overinclusive and that we should say so. Most other States have similar legislation and deserve from this Court all the guidance it can render in this very sensitive area.

JOE HILL'S LAST WILL (Written in his cell, November 18, 1915, on the eve of his execution)
My will is easy to decide, For there is nothing to divide. My kin don't need to fuss and moan— "Moss does not cling to a rolling stone." My body? Ah, If I could choose, I would to ashes it reduce, And let the merry breezes blow My dust to where some flowers grow. Perhaps some fading flower then would come to life and bloom again. This is my last and final will. Good luck to all of you,
