MEISSONIER, Jean Louis Ernest, zhŏṅ loo-ē ėr-nā mā-sō-nyā, French painter: b. Lyons, France, 21 Feb. 1815; d Paris, 31 Jan. 1891. He came to Paris in early youth and entered the studio of Cogniet, meanwhile forming his style on the Dutch masters as represented in the Louvre. He first attracted attention by his illustrations of the Bible, Bossuet's ‘Universal History,’ ‘Orlando Furioso,’ ‘Paul and Virginia,’ etc. His earliest paintings in genre to be exhibited in the Salon were ‘The Little Messenger’ and ‘The Chess Player’ (1836). His reputation grew rapidly on the successive appearance of ‘The Monk’ (1838); ‘The English Doctor’ (1839); ‘The Chess Party’ (1841). The times of Louis XIV and Louis XV with all the accessory richness and variety of costumes, weapons and domestic luxury, began to find in him their most successful delineator. In the many canvases which he produced in this narrow department of genre he showed a keen and strong, but not too florid, power of characterization, which was accompanied with a marvelous technique in the handling of stuffs, metals, etc. But modern history eventually claimed his attention and he found a congenial field for the exercise of his special gifts in the campaigns of Napoleon. His
pictures were often small, but finished with minute and delicate virtuosity, a good example of which may be seen in his ‘Cuirassiers of 1805’; but he is perhaps less successful in large canvases and elaborate figure compositions than in his small paintings. Among his most famous pictures of the Napoleonic cycle are ‘Napoleon I with his Staff’ and ‘Napoleon III at Solferino’ (1864); ‘Napoleon I at Friedland’ (1875), now in the Metropolitan Museum of New York. In his latter days he painted Venetian scenery and architectural views with his usual dash, thoroughness and oriinality. In his works he shows the best quahties of the Dutch school with all its life-like expression, truthfulness and spirit combined with the delicacy of French sentiment and abandon. His water colors, etchings and lithographs bear admirable witness to his versatility and vigorous industry. His pictures have always fetched a high price, ‘Friedland or 1807’ having been sold for $60,000, a sum scarcely disproportionate to that given for smaller canvases. He is to be looked upon as the founder of the new school of military painters represented by his son Jean Charles Meissonier and Edouard Detaille, his most illustrious pupil. Consult Claretie, ‘Meissonier’ (1881); Larroumet, ‘Meissonier’ (1893).

MEMMINGER, mĕm′mĭn-jėr, Christopher Gustavus, American politician, secretary of Treasury in the Confederate government: b. Württemberg, Germany 17 Jan. 1803; d. 7 March 1888. He was brought to America in infancy, and was educated at South Carolina College. He studied law; began to practise in Charleston in 1825; entered politics as a leader of the Union party; attacked the States' Rights party in a satire called ‘The Book of Nullification’ (1832); reformed the public school system of the State, and for 20 years was in the State legislature, much of the time acting as head of the finance committee. In 1859, after John Brown's raid, he was commissioned by South Carolina to consult with other delegates in Virginia as to the best method of warding off attacks of Abolitionists. From the formation of the Confederacy until June 1864 he was Secretary of Treasury, and his mistaken policy in that office did much to ruin the Confederacy financially.

It increased the duties on wool, woolen manufactures, on tin-plate, barley and some other agricultural products and remitted the duty on raw sugar.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Arbor Vitæ

Edition of 1920. See also Thuja on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
ARBOR VITÆ (Latin, “tree of life”), the designation of several trees belonging to the family Pinaceæ and allied to the cypress. The genus consists of evergreen trees and shrubs, with flattened branchlets and small, imbricated or scale-like leaves. The common arbor vitæ (Thuja occidentalis) is a native of eastern North America and reaches a height of 50 feet in favorable locations. The cones are small; the young twigs have an agreeable balsamic smell; the wood is soft and light, but tough and durable. The other North American species is T. Plicata, found on the Pacific coast from the region of San Francisco Bay north to Alaska. The Chinese arbor vitæ (T. orientalis) is often cultivated. Its upright branches and larger cones easily distinguish it from the former. It yields a resin which was formerly thought to have medicinal virtues, like the wood and young twigs of T. occidentalis; hence the name—arbor vitæ.

# The Expedition of Humphry Clinker

The Expedition of Humphrey Clinker is a picaresque novel that was written towards the very end of the temperamental Smollett’s life and published shortly before his death in 1771. It is now regarded as his most accomplished novel, and is not coincidentally also his most mellow in outlook. His other novels and travel writing display a general hostility towards man and his actions, particularly when foreigners are involved. See also "Ode to Leven-Water", a poem extracted from this book.

THE
EXPEDITION
OF
HUMPHRY CLINKER.
To Dr. Lewis.
DOCTOR, The pills are good for nothing—I might as well swallow snow-balls to cool my reins—I have told you over and over, how hard I am to move; and at this time of day, I ought to know some thing of my own constitution. Why will you be so positive? Prithee send me an other prescription—I am as lame and as much tortured in all my limbs as if I was broke upon the wheel: indeed, I am equally distressed in mind and body—As if I had not plagues enough of my own, ​those children of my sister are left me for a perpetual source of vexation—what business have people to get children to plague their neighbours? A ridiculous incident that happened yesterday to my niece Liddy, has disordered me in such a manner, that I expect to be laid up with another fit of the gout—perhaps, I may explain myself in my next. I shall set out tomorrow morning for the Hot Well at Bristol, where I am afraid I shall stay longer than I could wish. On the receipt of this send Williams thither with my saddle-horse and the demi pique. Tell Barns to thresh out the two old ricks, and send the corn to market, and sell it off to the poor at a shilling a bushel under market price.—I have received a snivelling letter from Griffin, offering to make a public submission and pay costs. I want none of his submissions, neither will I pocket any of his money—The fellow is a bad neighbour, and I desire to have nothing to do with him: but as he is purse-proud, he shall pay for his insolence: let him give five pounds to the poor of the parish, and I will withdraw my action; and in the mean time you may tell Prig to stop proceedings.—Let Morgan's widow have the Alderney cow, and forty shillings to clothe her children: but don't say a syllable of the matter to ​any living soul—I'll make her pay when she is able. I desire you will lock up all my drawers, and keep the keys till meeting; and be sure you take the iron chest with my papers into your own custody.—Forgive all, this trouble from,
Dear Lewis,
Your affectionate
