# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Lord, John

Edition of 1920. See also John Lord (historian) on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
LORD, John, American historian and lecturer: b. Portsmouth, N. H., 10 Sept. 1812; d. Stamford, Conn., 15 Dec. 1894. He was graduated from Dartmouth in 1833; studied theology for a time at Andover Theological Seminary, and in his second year there wrote a series of lectures on the Dark Ages, which he delivered soon after during a tour of northern New York. He became an agent of the American Peace Society. Though not ordained to the ministry occupied Congregational pulpits in New Marlboro and Stockbridge, Mass. After 1840 he devoted himself to literary work and lecturing. In 1843-46 he was in England giving lectures on the Middle Ages, and on his return to the United States continued to lecture for many years in the principal towns and cities, giving over 6,000 lectures in all. From 1866-76 he was lecturer on history at Dartmouth College. His lectures were published under the title ‘Beacon Lights of History’ (1883); he also wrote ‘Modern History for Schools’ (1850); ‘The Old Roman World’ (1867); and ‘Ancient States and Empires’ (1869); ‘Points of History’ (1881).
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Lorna Doone

Edition of 1920. See also Lorna Doone on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
LORNA DOONE, by Richard Doddridge Blackmore, published in 1869, was one of the
earliest and by far the most popular of all Blackmore's dozen or more novels. By some critics it has been esteemed one of the great pieces of English fiction, but this praise is undoubtedly excessive. The theme is entirely romantic, there being little realism and no “problem” writing whatever. It is the theme of apparently hopeless, but finally triumphant, love; of feminine pity and distress; of manly courtesy and resolution; of the success of the noble-hearted and the discomfiting of evil men. John Ridd, a young rustic giant of North Devon, rescues the high-born Lorna from the hands of her outlaw relatives and finally rises not only to the possession of Lorna's hand, but to high position on the strength of his own merit. There is some historical background out of the reigns of Charles II and James II, most vividly represented at the battle of Sedgemoor. The Doones themselves are largely legendary. Probably their formidableness and knavery are very much exaggerated over any actual facts, just as the scenery of Devon and Somerset, especially the description of Doone Valley, are great exaggerations. Interwoven with the romantic and semi-historical pictures of the tale are many pleasant details of country life and many quiet scenes and adventures of a placid rural sort. The length of the story is not diminished by being told in the first person by the hero, but it is full of honest spirit and of attractive detail.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Lory

Edition of 1920. See also Lories and lorikeets on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
LORY, any of several East Indian and Australian parrots, but more especially one of the brush-tongued Australian family Trichoglossidæ, the smaller examples of which go by the name of lorikeets. Both the lories and the lorikeets are remarkable for their extensible tongue, furnished with a pencil at its extremity, by which they are enabled to lick up the nectar of flowers. In doing so they carry pollen from blossom to blossom, performing an important service of cross-fertilization, especially for the eucalyptus trees. (See Flowers, Fertilization of, by Birds). The lorikeets are smaller than the lories and have long tapering tail-feathers. Swainson's lorikeet (T. novæhollandiæ) is the best-known species. It is found in eastern Australia and Tasmania and is popularly known as the Blue Mountain lory or the Blue Mountaineer.
The name lory is also given to the large, brilliantly colored parrots of the psittacine genus Eclectus. Consult Newton, ‘Dictionary of Birds’ (1896); Evans, ‘Birds’ (in Cambridge Natural History, Vol. IX, New York 1901); and see Parrots.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Lowell

Edition of 1920. See also Lowell, Massachusetts on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
LOWELL, Mass., city, county-seat of Middlesex County, at the junction of the Concord and Merrimac rivers, and on the New York, New Haven and Hartford and the Boston and Maine railroads, about 25 miles northwest of Boston. Lowell, formerly Chelmsford, was founded in 1822, by the “Merrimac Manufacturing Company,” and named in honor of Francis Cabot Lowell (q.v.). In four years it was incorporated as a town, and in 1836 it was chartered as a city known as the “Workshop of the World.” The city now has an area of over 14 square miles. The city is noted for its great number of manufactories and its large annual output of manufactured articles. The power is
obtained from the falls of the Merrimac which here descend 32 feet and from the Concord River; but 80,000 horse-power steam power is used. The “Proprietors of Locks and Canals” was organized early in the 19th century, for the purpose of obtaining and supplying power for cotton factories. The canal system was nearly completed in 1825, but the first canals were more like ordinary ditches; now they are walled and fitted with locks and bridges, all of the best construction and latest improvements. They are so well built that the annual amount spent for repairs is comparatively small. By means of this canal system of seven and one-half miles water power is furnished to many factories in Lowell, then returned to the Merrimac to be used lower down the stream to turn the wheels for the mills in Lawrence.
Some of the manufacturing establishments are woolen and cotton factories, hosiery and knitting mills, carpet and felt factories, bleacheries, dyeing works, machine-shops, patent-medicine works, a cartridge factory and furniture factories. Lowell has many points of historic and scenic interest and a number of fine public buildings. The educational institutions are the State Normal School, the Rogers Hall School, the Lowell Textile School, Saint Patrick's Academy, a high school, and public and parish elementary schools. The city has the Lowell Hospital, Lowell General Hospital, Saint John's Hospital, Saint Peter's Orphanage, Theodore Edson Orphanage, Ayer Home for Young Women and Children, Saint Patrick's Home for Working Women and the Old Ladies' Home.
The annual amount of municipal expenditures is about $2,206,859.30; the principal items are for schools about $463,942; for hospitals, almshouses, etc., $120,000; for police department, $167,000; for the fire department, $193,000; for municipal lighting, $121,000; for waterworks, $240,000. The waterworks were built in 1873 at a cost of about $2,875,000. There are now about 130 miles of mains. The waterworks are owned and operated by the city. Pop. 106,294, about 40 per cent of whom are of foreign birth. Consult Drake, ‘History of Middlesex County’; ‘Illustrated History of Lowell.’

He served as pastor of the united churches of Germantown and Philadelphia in 1746-51, organized a synod which met in Philadelphia in 1747 and made extended missionary tours through Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey and New York. He visited Europe in 1751, secured a much needed reinforcement of six young preachers, substantial aid in the way of money and returned in 1752. As a result of his appeal £20,000 was raised in England and Holland for the establishment of schools among the Germans in America, and in 1755 Schlatter became superintendent of the enterprise, but in 1757 he resigned because of the opposition encountered from the Germans, who objected to the teaching of the English language in the schools. In 1757 he was appointed chaplain of the Royal American regiment, and
remained with the army until 1759. He then preached at Chestnut Hill and surrounding places. In 1777, while still attached to the royal army, he refused to obey orders on account of sympathy with the colonial cause and was imprisoned. Consult Harbaugh, Henry, ‘Life of Rev.

# The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective

Miss Loveday Brooke, an unusual young woman, worked for Ebenezer Dyer, head of a detective agency in Lynch Court, London. Dyer soon enough finds out that behind an meek, nondescript exterior (good for disguises) is an keenly observant eye and brain; and one who can give as good as she gets.
Incidentally, this was one of the last works of Pirkis, who, much like her heroine, didn't much care for either money or the marriage market. Her last few years were devoted to animal welfare and anti-vivisectionist projects.

When I play on my fiddle in Dooney Folk dance like a wave of the sea My cousin is priest in Kilvarnet My brother in Moharabuiee
I passed my brother and cousin: They read in their books of prayer;
I read in my book of songs I bought at the Sligo fair.
When we come at the end of time, To Peter sitting in state, He will smile on the three old spirits, But call me first through the gate;
For the good are always the merry, Save by an evil chance, And the merry love the fiddle And the merry love to dance:
And when the folk there spy me, They will all come up to me, With ‘Here is the fiddler of Dooney!’ And dance like a wave of the sea.
