# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Waghorn, Martin

​WAGHORN, MARTIN (d. 1787), captain in the navy, was on 16 Dec. 1762 promoted by Vice-admiral [Sir Samuel] Cornish [q. v.] to be lieutenant of the Manila, one of the prizes at Manila, which, though then commissioned, was not put on the list of the navy. In the following August he was appointed, also by Cornish, to the Liverpool frigate, and in her he returned to England. In November 1764 he was put on half-pay, and so remained for nearly fourteen years. It is possible that during this time he was at sea in merchant ships. It does not appear that he was a man of property, and the half-pay of 2s., a day was clearly not sufficient to maintain him in idleness. On 18 March 1778 he was appointed to the Victory, then fitting for the flag of Admiral Augustus (afterwards Viscount) Keppel [q. v.] He seems to have continued in the Victory for upwards of three years, under the flag of Sir Charles Hardy (the younger) [q. v.] and (Sir) Francis Geary [q. v.], during the greater part of which time Richard Kempenfelt [q. v.], who had probably known something of Waghorn in the East Indies, was captain of the fleet.
On 15 Aug. 1781 Waghorn was promoted to be commander of the Fly sloop, and on 6 April 1782 to be captain of the Royal George, in which Kempenfelt, now a rear-admiral, hoisted his flag. He was still captain of the Royal George when she sank at Spithead on 29 Aug. 1782 [see Durham, Sir Philip Charles Henderson Calderwood]. Waghorn was thrown into the water, and, though much bruised, was able to keep afloat till he was picked up. At the court-martial held on 9 Sept. on Waghorn and the other survivors the circumstances of the accident were fully inquired into, and the decision of the court, in acquitting Waghorn and the others of all blame, was 'that the ship was not overheeled; that the captain, officers, and ship's company used every exertion to right the ship as soon as the alarm was given of her settling;' and it expressed the distinct opinion, 'from the short space of time between the alarm being given and the sinking of the ship, that some material part of her frame gave way, which can only be accounted for by the general state of the decay of her timbers.' This is so contrary to the opinion noised abroad at the time, and impressed on popular memory by Cowper's celebrated verses, that it may be well to add that the court was composed of the full number of officers—thirteen—all capable men, many of them of very high distinction—Samuel Barrington, Mark Milbanke, Alexander Hood (Lord Bridport), William Hotham (Lord Hotham), John Leveson Gower, Sir John Jervis (Earl of St. Vincent), Adam Duncan Lord Duncan)—all of whose names will be found in this Dictionary. On his acquittal Waghorn was put on half-pay; in September 1783 he was appointed to the Trusty, as flag-captain to Commodore Sir John Lindsay [q. v.] in the Mediterranean. The ship was paid off in July 1785, and Waghorn was again put on half-pay. He died on 17 Dec. 1787.

# Endymion (Longfellow)

The rising moon has hid the stars; Her level rays, like golden bars, Lie on the landscape green, With shadows brown between.
And silver white the river gleams, As if Diana, in her dreams, Had dropt her silver bow Upon the meadows low.
On such a tranquil night as this, She woke Endymion with a kiss, When, sleeping in the grove, He dreamed not of her love.
Like Dian's kiss, unasked, unsought, Love gives itself, but is not bought; Nor voice, nor sound betrays Its deep, impassioned gaze.
It comes,--the beautiful, the free, The crown of all humanity,-- In silence and alone To seek the elected one.
It lifts the boughs, whose shadows deep Are Life's oblivion, the soul's sleep, And kisses the closed eyes Of him, who slumbering lies.
O weary hearts! O slumbering eyes! O drooping souls, whose destinies Are fraught with fear and pain, Ye shall be loved again!
No one is so accursed by fate, No one so utterly desolate, But some heart, though unknown, Responds unto his own.
Responds,--as if with unseen wings, An angel touched its quivering strings; And whispers, in its song, "'Where hast thou stayed so long?"

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Laughter

Edition of 1802.
​LAUGHTER, a sudden and convulsive expression of mirth, peculiar to the countenance of man; and which is occasioned by some object that surprizes the fancy.
This emotion, however, more frequently arises from an unexpected disappointment of the mind, while its attention is arrested by an object apparently of great importance; but suddenly terminating in ridicule, or insignificance.—With respect to its influence on the body, moderate laughter is very beneficial; for it contributes to promote the circulation of the blood through the lungs, and has frequently removed colics, pains in the stomach, and similar complaints. Various instances have likewise occurred, in which deep-seated ulcers of the lungs and liver, that could not be relieved by any remedies, bursted, and were perfectly cured by a fit of ​laughter, artificially excited. Beside the pleasing sensations with which it is accompanied, this affection powerfully operates on the organs of digestion, and greatly contributes to the assimilation of food.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Lavender-thrift

Edition of 1802.
​LAVENDER-THRIFT, or Sea Lavender, Statice Limonium, L. an indigenous perennial plant, growing on the sea-shore; in salt-marshes; and the fissures or clefts of rocks, near the sea-coast: it is in flower from July to September.
This vegetable deserves the attention of tanners, on account of its red, astringent root, called, by the Russians, Kermek; and from which they prepare that valuable kind of leather distinguished by its peculiarly strong, though not ungrateful odour, and on the Continent termed Juften.—Guldenstaedt, in his Travels through Russia, observes, that on the coast near Azof, he met with a tan-work in which the root of the Sea-Lavender was employed in dressing the hides of oxen, both for the celebrated Russia, and common sole-leather. The roots are previously dried in the sun, and finely pulverized: next, the hides are cleaned with ashes obtained from the roots of the oak, and suffered to lie a month in this preparatory lixivium; after which they are immersed into the liquor made of the pounded roots before mentioned. He adds, that there is not the least doubt ot this root proving a complete substitute for the more expensive oak-bark.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Laxatives

Edition of 1802.
​LAXATIVES, or Aperient Medicines, are such as promote a loose state or disposition of the bowels, for the more easy and regular evacuation of the feces. On account of the gradual effect which laxatives produce on the body, they are distinguished from the more powerful or drastic purges, which operate more speedily. Hence, with the former intention, castor-oil, or cold-drawn linseed-oil, are alike calculated to afford relief, especially if they be taken in small doses, such as a table-spoonful every hour, with a draught of warm ale, till they mildly operate.—As, however, the difference between these, and the more brisk cathartics, greatly depends on the manner of administering them, we shall communicate a few observations on both, under the article, Purgatives.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Layers

Edition of 1802.
​LAYERS, in horticulture, denote certain tender shoots or sprigs of trees, which are buried or deposited in the ground, till they have taken root; when they are separated from the parent stock, and become distinct plants.
The method of propagating trees by layers, is performed in the following manner: A small cut or slit is first to be made in the branches, which should then be laid about half a foot deep, in light, rich mould, and gently watered; but, if they do not retain the position in which they were placed, it will be necessary to fasten them down with wooden hooks.
The best season for propagating layers is, for evergreens, towards the end of August; and for deciduous trees, in the beginning of February: after having taken root, they may be separated from the parent stock, and planted out in the succeeding winter. Some horticulturists, however, recommend stripping off the rind or bark; others direct the branch to be twisted, previously to setting it in the ground; but these operations are not essentially requisite, as the layers will flourish, if proper attention be paid, to water them regularly during their early growth.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Leg

Edition of 1802.
​LEG, the lower extremity of animals, which serves both for their support and motion: it is generally divided into three parts; 1. the thigh; 2. the leg, properly so called; and, 3. the foot.
The human legs are subject to few complaints, except the common ulcers, the proper treatment of which we propose to state under that article. They are likewise apt to be sprained, fractured, or broken; in which cases great caution is requisite; but as those accidents are briefly discussed in their alphabetical series, the reader will consult the articles Fractures and Sprains.—See also Bandy-legs.
