# Tales of a Wayside Inn/Part Third/The Spanish Jew's Second Tale/Interlude

"Now that is after my own heart,": The Poet cried; "one understands Your swarthy hero Scanderbeg, Gauntlet on hand and boot on leg, And skilled in every warlike art, Riding through his Albanian lands, And following the auspicious star That shone for him o'er Ak-Hissar."
The Theologian added here His word of praise not less sincere, Although he ended with a jibe; "The hero of romance and song Was born," he said, "to right the wrong; And I approve; but all the same That bit of treason with the Scribe Adds nothing to your hero's fame."
The Student praised the good old times And liked the canter of the rhymes, That had a hoofbeat in their sound; But longed some further word to hear Of the old chronicler Ben Meir, And where his volume might he found. The tall Musician walked the room With folded arms and gleaming eyes, As if he saw the Vikings rise, Gigantic shadows in the gloom; And much he talked of their emprise, And meteors seen in Northern skies, And Heimdal's horn, and day of doom But the Sicilian laughed again; "This is the time to laugh," he said, For the whole story he well knew Was an invention of the Jew, Spun from the cobwebs in his brain, And of the same bright scarlet thread As was the Tale of Kambalu.
Only the Landlord spake no word; 'T was doubtful whether he had heard The tale at all, so full of care Was he of his impending fate, That, like the sword of Damocles, Above his head hung blank and bare, Suspended by a single hair, So that he could not sit at ease, But sighed and looked disconsolate, And shifted restless in his chair, Revolving how he might evade The blow of the descending blade.
The Student came to his relief By saying in his easy way To the Musician: "Calm your grief, My fair Apollo of the North, Balder the Beautiful and so forth; Although your magic lyre or lute With broken strings is lying mute, Still you can tell some doleful tale Of shipwreck in a midnight gale, Or something of the kind to suit The mood that we are in to-night For what is marvellous and strange; So give your nimble fancy range, And we will follow in its flight."
But the Musician shook his head; "No tale I tell to-night," he said, "While my poor instrument lies there, Even as a child with vacant stare Lies in its little coffin dead."
Yet, being urged, he said at last: "There comes to me out of the Past A voice, whose tones are sweet and wild, Singing a song almost divine, And with a tear in every line; An ancient ballad, that my nurse Sang to me when I was a child, In accents tender as the verse; And sometimes wept, and sometimes smiled While singing it, to see arise The look of wonder in my eyes, And feel my heart with tenor beat. This simple ballad I retain Clearly imprinted on my brain, And as a tale will now repeat"

# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Nevers

Edition of 1879. See also Nevers on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ NEVERS, a town of France, capital of the department of Nièvre, on the Loire, at the junction of the Nièvre, 130 m. S. S. E. of Paris; pop. in 1872, 22,276. Cæsar mentions the town in his “Commentaries” under the name of Noviodunum. It was formerly the capital of the province of Nivernais. In the middle ages it was ruled by counts and afterward by dukes, and was annexed to the French crown in the 17th century. It is the seat of a bishop, and has a lyceum, an episcopal seminary, a theatre, and a picture gallery. The old city walls and towers still remain. The cathedral of St. Cyr is much dilapidated, but contains a famous flamboyant doorway and a remarkable spiral staircase. The palace of justice, formerly that of the dukes of Nevers, is a stately building, and the hôtel de ville contains a museum of Gallo-Roman antiquities and pottery. This industry employs more than 700 persons. The iron works are extensive, and there is a cannon foundery here for the navy.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Nebuchadnezzar

Edition of 1879. See also Nebuchadnezzar II on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
NEBUCHADNEZZAR (on the Babylonian monuments, Nabu-kuduri-uzur), a Chaldean king of Babylon, born about 645 B. C., died in 561. He was the son of Nabopolassar, who toward the close of his reign sent him to repel the invasion of the Egyptian king Necho. He routed the Egyptians, and pursued them through Judea, which he reduced to a Babylonian dependency, but was recalled to Babylon by the death of his father (604), whom he succeeded as king. He brought back a multitude of captives, and employed them as slaves in the construction of gigantic works, the remains of which are still visible. He rebuilt all the cities of upper Babylonia upon a magnificent scale, and embellished
them with temples, palaces, aqueducts, and other public works. The ruins of more than 100 towns and cities contain inscriptions of his name. (See Babylon, and Babylonia.) Early in his reign the Jews and Phœnicians rebelled. Nebuchadnezzar took Jerusalem, carried many of its chief people away captive, including Jehoiachin the king, and made Zedekiah king as his vassal; and when several years later he rebelled, being aided by Egypt, Nebuchadnezzar again besieged Jerusalem, and after defeating the Egyptian king Apries (the Pharaoh-Hophra of Scripture), who came to its relief, compelled it to surrender. (See Hebrews, vol. viii., p. 589.) During these wars his armies invested Tyre, and took it after a siege of 13 years. Four years later he marched through Palestine into Egypt, which he ravaged, but did not completely subjugate. He elevated Daniel and other Hebrew captives to high office in Babylon. (See Daniel.) The book of Daniel relates how he fell under the divine judgment on account of his pride, lost his reason, was deprived of his kingdom, and lived the life of a beast; and how he was restored to health and power, and acknowledged the judgment of God. It has been thought that his malady was a form of the madness called lycanthropy, in which the patient imagines himself a beast.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Nevis

Edition of 1879. See also Nevis on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ NEVIS, an island of the British West Indies, in the Leeward group, 2 m. from the S. E. extremity of St. Christopher, in lat. 17° 14′ N., lon. 62° 40′ W.; area, 45 sq. m.; pop. in 1871, 11,735. With the exception of a narrow circle of fertile land bordering upon the coast, the whole island may be said to consist of a single mountain 2,500 ft. high, the upper parts of which are not susceptible of cultivation. The arable lands, comprising in all only 6,000 acres, are well cultivated. Sugar is the staple, and with molasses and rum forms the bulk of the exports. The exports in 1870 amounted to £64,119, the imports to £54,286. The public revenue in 1872 was £7,776, the expenditures £10,477. The island is governed by a president, an executive council, and a legislative assembly of 11 members. Charlestown, on the S. W. coast, is the capital and principal town, and has a good roadstead. Nevis was colonized by English emigrants from St. Christopher in 1628, was taken by the French in 1706, and restored by the peace of Utrecht; it was taken by them again in 1782, but restored by the peace of 1783. It was the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Nevin, John Williamson

Edition of 1879. See also John Williamson Nevin on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ NEVIN, John Williamson, an American clergyman, born in Franklin co., Pa., Feb. 20, 1803. He graduated at Union college in 1821, studied theology at Princeton, and continued there afterward as assistant teacher and wrote “Biblical Antiquities” (2 vols., 1828). He was licensed to preach in 1828. From 1829 to 1839 he was assistant teacher and professor of Hebrew and Biblical literature in the Presbyterian theological seminary at Allegheny City, and in 1833-'4 edited “The Friend,” a weekly literary journal. In 1840 he removed to Mercersburg, and took charge of the theological seminary there; and in 1841 he became also president of Marshall college. In 1843 he published “The Anxious Bench,” which was translated into German, and also a translation of Dr. Schaff's “Principle of Protestantism,” with an introduction. In 1846 he published “The Mystical Presence;” in 1847, “The History and Genius of the Heidelberg Catechism;” in 1848, “Antichrist, or the Spirit of Sect and Schism.” From January, 1849, to January, 1853, he edited the “Mercersburg Review.” At the close of 1851 he resigned his situation as professor in the theological seminary, continuing to act as president of Marshall college until its removal to Lancaster in 1853. He was the originator and exponent of what is called the “Mercersburg system of theology,” which arose on the occasion of some revival measures in 1843. It endeavored to restore the Protestant sacramental faith of the 16th century, and opposed sects as a rejection of the actual incarnation of Christ in his church. The church is the body of Christ, and hence divine and an object of faith; its ministers hold a divine power by apostolic succession; and its sacraments are seals as well as signs of grace. Baptism is for the remission of sins; and Christ is really, if not physically, present in the eucharist.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Negritos

Edition of 1879. See also Negrito on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
NEGRITOS, natives of the Philippine islands, usually classed with Papuans. They in a measure represent the people called negrillos by Dr. Pickering in his “Races of Men” (1848), where he classes them as a subdivision of the Papuan race, and of the melanic or black family of mankind. They were formerly in possession of the entire group of islands, but are now found only in the mountainous districts of some of them, and especially in the northern portion of Luzon, where they inhabit also the coast from Palanan to Cabo Engano. (Semper, Die Philippinen und ihre Bewohner, Würzburg, 1869.) Fr. Müller in his Allgemeine Ethnographie (Vienna, 1873) classifies them among the Papuans of the pure type, while A. R. Wallace considers them a totally distinct race, and, connecting them with the inhabitants of the Andaman islands in the bay of Bengal, is of opinion that they are probably of Asiatic rather than Polynesian origin; and Peschel in his Völkerkunde (2d ed., Leipsic, 1875) prefers to
call them Asiatic Papuans, in distinction from Australian Papuans. In common with the latter, they have woolly hair and a flat nose, broad at the base. They are not black, but of a dark copper color. The lips are somewhat puffed, and the jaws are slightly projecting. Virchow's measurements of some skulls have led to the supposition that their compressed form is of artificial origin. (See Papuan Race and Languages.)

# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Nevada (county)

Edition of 1879. See also Nevada County, Arkansas and Nevada County, California on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
NEVADA. I. A S. W. county of Arkansas, formed since the census of 1870 from portions of Columbia and Ouachita counties, bounded N. by the Little Missouri river, a branch of the Washita, and drained by several tributaries of that stream and of Red river; area, 625 sq. m. The surface is rolling and generally well timbered. The valleys contain much productive soil. Capital, Mount Moriah. II. A N. E. county of California, bordering on Nevada, and drained by Middle and South Yuba rivers; area, 1,026 sq. m.; pop. in 1870, 19,134, of whom 2,627 were Chinese. The surface is generally mountainous, especially toward the east, which is traversed by the Sierra Nevada range. One half of the area is estimated to be occupied by mineral lands. Gold mining is the principal industry, and agriculture receives little attention, though there is much arable land, and timber is abundant. The county contains several of the richest and most productive quartz lodes in the state, and the placer diggings are not surpassed by any other. The number of mines in 1870 was 80, viz.: 25 hydraulic, 40 placer, and 15 quartz. The Central Pacific railroad passes along the S. border. The chief productions in 1870 were 5,548 bushels of potatoes, 10,183 gallons of wine, 50,741 lbs. of butter, and 4,804 tons of hay. There were 786 horses, 1,148 milch cows, 1,156 other cattle, 504 sheep, and 1,137 swine on farms; 1 manufactory of boots and shoes, 3 of iron castings, 2 of machinery, 4 of sash, doors, and blinds, 6 of tin, copper, and sheet-iron ware,
1 pork-packing establishment, 12 breweries, 1 flour mill, and 10 saw mills. Capital, Nevada.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Neviansk

Edition of 1879. See also Nevyansk on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ NEVIANSK, a town of Russia, in the government of Perm, near the source of the Neiva in the Ural mountains, 47 m. N. of Yekaterinburg; pop. about 20,000. It is the centre of one of the oldest and most important mining regions, in the midst of almost continuous forests. It contains a castle, built early in the 18th century by Prince Demidoff, with a fine tower which once served as a refinery for silver from the Altai. Excellent bar iron and lacquered ware are made.
# The Alchemist (Jonson)/Prologue

Fortune, that favours fools, these two short hours, We wish away, both for your sakes and ours, Judging spectators; and desire, in place, To the author justice, to ourselves but grace. Our scene is London, 'cause we would make known, No country's mirth is better than our own: No clime breeds better matter for your whore, Bawd, squire, impostor, many persons more, Whose manners, now call'd humours, feed the stage; And which have still been subject for the rage Or spleen of comic writers. Though this pen Did never aim to grieve, but better men; Howe'er the age he lives in doth endure The vices that she breeds, above their cure. But when the wholesome remedies are sweet, And in their working gain and profit meet, He hopes to find no spirit so much diseased, But will with such fair correctives be pleased: For here he doth not fear who can apply. If there be any that will sit so nigh Unto the stream, to look what it doth run, They shall find things, they'd think or wish were done; They are so natural follies, but so shewn, As even the doers may see, and yet not own.

There have been very strange and incredible stories told and by the alchemists. Perhaps in some of them there may have been a specific form of mania, originating in the constant intension of the mind on an imaginary end, associated with an immense variety of means, all of them substances not familiar to men in general, and in forms strange and unlike those of ordinary nature. Sometimes, it seems as if the alchemists wrote like the Pythagoreans on music, imagining a metaphysical and inaudible music as the basis of the audible. It is clear that by sulphur they meant the solar rays or light, and by mercury the principle of ponderability, so that their theory was the same with that of the Heraclitic physics, or the modern German Naturphilosophie, which deduces all things from light and gravitation, each being bipolar; gravitation = north and south, or attraction and repulsion: light = east and west, or contraction and dilation; and gold being the tetrad, or interpenetration of both, as water was the dyad of light, and iron the dyad of gravitation.
It is, probably, unjust to accuse the alchemists generally of dabbling with attempts at magic in the common sense of the term. The supposed exercise of magical power always involved some moral guilt, directly or indirectly, as in the stealing a piece of meat to lay on warts, touching humours with the hand of an executed person, &c. Rites of this sort and other practices of sorcery have always been regarded with trembling abhorrence by all nations, even the most ignorant, as in the Africans, the Hudson's Bay people and others. The alchemists were, no doubt, often considered as dealers in art magic, and many of them were not unwilling that such a belief should be prevalent; and the more earnest among them evidently looked at their association of substances, fumigations, and other chemical operations as merely ceremonial, and seem, therefore, to have had a deeper meaning, that of evoking a latent power. It would be profitable to make a collection of all the cases of cures by magical charms and incantations; much useful information might, probably, be derived from it; for it is to be observed that such rites are the form in which medical knowledge would be preserved amongst a barbarous and ignorant people.
# The Alchemist (Jonson)/Letters

TO THE LADY MOST DESERVING HER NAME AND BLOOD:
LADY MARY WROTH.
Madam,
In the age of sacrifices, the truth of religion was not in the greatness and fat of the offerings, but in the devotion and zeal of the sacrificers: else what could a handle of gums have done in the sight of a hecatomb? or how might I appear at this altar, except with those affections that no less love the light and witness, than they have the conscience of your virtue? If what I offer bear an acceptable odour, and hold the first strength, it is your value of it, which remembers where, when, and to whom it was kindled. Otherwise, as the times are, there comes rarely forth that thing so full of authority or example, but by assiduity and custom grows less, and loses. This, yet, safe in your judgment (which is a Sidney's) is forbidden to speak more, lest it talk or look like one of the ambitious faces of the time, who, the more they paint, are the less themselves.
Your ladyship's true honourer,
BEN JONSON.
TO THE READER.
If thou beest more, thou art an understander, and then I trust thee. If thou art one that takest up, and but a pretender, beware of what hands thou receivest thy commodity; for thou wert never more fair in the way to be cozened, than in this age, in poetry, especially in plays: wherein, now the concupiscence of dances and of antics so reigneth, as to run away from nature, and be afraid of her, is the only point of art that tickles the spectators. But how out of purpose, and place, do I name art? When the professors are grown so obstinate contemners of it, and presumers on their own naturals, as they are deriders of all diligence that way, and, by simple mocking at the terms, when they understand not the things, think to get off wittily with their ignorance. Nay, they are esteemed the more learned, and sufficient for this, by the many, through their excellent vice of judgment. For they commend writers, as they do fencers or wrestlers; who if they come in robustuously, and put for it with a great deal of violence, are received for the braver fellows: when many times their own rudeness is the cause of their disgrace, and a little touch of their adversary gives all that boisterous force the foil. I deny not, but that these men, who always seek to do more than enough, may some time happen on some thing that is good, and great; but very seldom; and when it comes it doth not recompense the rest of their ill. It sticks out, perhaps, and is more eminent, because all is sordid and vile about it: as lights are more discerned in a thick darkness, than a faint shadow. I speak not this, out of a hope to do good to any man against his will; for I know, if it were put to the question of theirs and mine, the worse would find more suffrages: because the most favour common errors. But I give thee this warning, that there is a great difference between those, that, to gain the opinion of copy, utter all they can, however unfitly; and those that use election and a mean. For it is only the disease of the unskilful, to think rude things greater than polished; or scattered more numerous than composed.
