# The New Student's Reference Work/Jamaica

See also Jamaica on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Jamaica (jä-mā' kä), first called Xaymaca, "land of springs," one of the largest of the West India Islands and the most important of the Antilles belonging to Great Britain. It lies some 90 miles south of Cuba, and its area is about 4,200 square miles. Its greatest length is 144 miles, and its greatest width is 50 miles.

## Surface and Cities

It is crossed from east to west by a heavily timbered ridge called the Blue Mountains, which rise 7,400 feet. Excellent harbors are everywhere found. The best is in the southeast, in the deep basin which washes the most spacious and fertile of the plains between the hill-country and the coast. Around this inlet and within a few miles of each other are the largest towns: Kingston (population 50,000) and Spanish Town, the old capital (population 5,500). Here also is Port Royal, one of the chief cities of the West Indies before the great earthquake of 1692.

## Climate and Products

The climate varies from the torrid belt of the coast to the temperate region of the Blue Mountains, which have become favorably known as a resort for invalids. Vegetation is luxuriant. The primeval woods are fast disappearing, but there still are many valuable trees, as balata, mahogany, logwood, ebony, cocoa-nut and other palms. The exports are chiefly dyewoods, fruits (oranges, lemons, bananas and pineapples), sugar and coffee, allspice and cocoa. Jamaica has 817,211 acres under cultivation — 246,373 under tillage and 570,838 under pasture.

## Education and Defence

In addition to government training-colleges for both sexes and to high-schools, Jamaica supports nearly 700 government elementary schools and industrial institutions. Port Royal is strongly fortified, and, besides the garrison of regulars (English), there are a local artillery militia and a rifle corps.
Jamaica was discovered by Columbus in 1494, and was settled by the Spaniards in 1509. It was conquered by an expedition sent out by Oliver Cromwell in 1655, and was ceded to the English in 1670. In 1661 a representative council was established; but this was abolished in 1866, and in 1884 a partially elective legislative council was instituted. There is no established church; all the chief religious denominations, however, have their places of worship. There are numbers of East India immigrants, besides Negroes and Chinese on the island. The population by census of 1911 was 832,000. Jamaica now has a railway nearly 200 miles in extent, open and running. Under the government of Jamaica are the Cayman, Turks and Caicos Islands, part of the Bahaman group. See the Jamaica Handbook, published by the government printing-house, Kingston.

See also William James on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
James, William. He was born in New York City in 1842, the son of Henry James, the theologian and follower of Swedenborg, and the brother of Henry James, the well-known novelist. After an education in private schools and by private tutors in America and Europe, he attended Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard, and received his M. D. from that university in 1870. Since then he has received the LL.D. from Princeton University. In 1872 he was appointed instructor of anatomy and physiology in Harvard University; but soon changed to philosophy and then to psychology. It is in the last field that he has made a permanent name. Recently he has turned his attention chiefly to philosophy, and is the exponent of what is known as pragmatism, the theory that every doctrine must be interpreted and judged in terms of the effect its adoption has upon the action of individuals. In his psychological work his most notable contribution is the so-called James-Lang theory of the emotions, which maintains that emotions must be regarded as the result of those instinctive bodily movements which are commonly regarded as the expression and result of the emotions. He is distinguished among scientific writers for his bright and pleasant style and for the many forceful, picturesque expressions he has coined. It has been said that Henry writes fiction as if it were psychology, and William writes psychology as if it were fiction. His works are The Principles of Psychology, an epoch-making work; The Will to Believe; Human Immortality; Talks to Teachers on Psychology; Varieties of Religious Experience, a work that opens a new era of thinking in its line; and Pragmatism, an account of his philosophical doctrine. Died Aug. 26, 1910.
# The New Student's Reference Work/James I

See also James I of England on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
James I of England and VI of Scotland, the only son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and Henry, Lord Darnley, was born in Edinburgh, June 19, 1566. When his mother was forced to resign the crown, James was proclaimed king of Scotland, July 29, 1567. The training of his childhood was under the care of the earl of Mar. His tutor was the famous scholar, George Buchanan. In 1578 the earl of Morton, then regent, was driven from power, and James assumed full control. The new government was unpopular, and Morton was once more made regent. He was at length condemned and executed as one of the murderers of Lord Darnley. In the winter of 1589 James went to Denmark, where he married Princess Anne, daughter of King Frederick II. By the death of Elizabeth in 1603 James succeeded to the throne of England. He soon became unpopular with his new subjects. The anger of the Roman Catholics toward him, because of his severities, led to the famous Gunpowder Plot (which see). He really governed through his favorites, Kerr and Buckingham, both of them unpopular; and England’s prestige as a power, which had been gained under Elizabeth, soon disappeared. He has been described as two men in one — “a witty, well-read scholar, who wrote, disputed and harangued, and a nervous, driveling idiot who acted.” He was called by Henry IV of France “the wisest fool in Christendom.” James died on March 27, 1625. See Macaulay’s, S. R. Gardiner’s and Ranke’s histories; also Goodman’s Court of James I and Scott’s The Fortunes of Nigel.
# The New Student's Reference Work/James River

See also James River (Virginia) on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
James River, an important river formed by two streams in the west of Virginia. It runs its entire course in the state, passing Lynchburg and Richmond and widening into an estuary 60 miles before reaching the Atlantic at the southern end of Chesapeake Bay. Its length is 450 miles and for some distance it is navigable for large steamers. Its chief branches are the Appomattox on the right and the Chickahominy on the left. These streams were made famous by the battles which took place there in 1862.
# The New Student's Reference Work/James Stuart

See also James Francis Edward Stuart on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
James Stuart, called The Old Pretender, the son of James II and Mary of Modena, was born on June 10, 1688. His father had been driven from the throne by William of Orange, and died at St. Germain, France. Soon after his death a herald made his appearance before the palace-gate, and, with the sound of trumpets, proclaimed in Latin, French and English: “James III, king of England and Scotland.” The boy was received at the French court with all the honors which his father had received before him. In London a few nobles remained faithful to the memory of his father. These made haste to proclaim James III. But the opposition was too strong, and in all parts of the kingdom the people passed resolutions of fealty to William of Orange and of defiance to the king of France and his protégé, the young prince. His life was one of constant expectation and disappointment. At times the throne seemed just within reach, but as often slipped from his grasp. In 1719 he married Marie, granddaughter of John Sobieski, king of Poland, by whom he had a son known in history as Charles Edward, The Young Pretender. He died at Rome, Jan. 12, 1766. See J. H. Jesse: Memoirs of the Pretenders and Their Adherents.

A RECEIPT FOR VAPOURS.
“Why pines my dear?” to Fulvia, his young bride, Who weeping ſat, thus aged Cornus cry’d. “Alas!” ſaid ſhe, “ſuch visions break my reſt, The ſtrangeſt thoughts! I think I am poſſeſt: My ſymptoms I have told to men of ſkill,5 And is I would—they ſay—I might be well.” “Take their advice,” ſaid he, “my poor dear wife! I ’ll buy at any rate thy precious life.” Bluſhing ſhe would excuſe, but all in vain; A doctor muſt be fetch’d to ease her pain.10 Hard preſs’d, ſhe yields. From White’s, or Will’s, or Tom’s, No matter which, he ’s ſummon’d, and he comes. The careful huſband, with a kind embrace, Entreats his care; then bows, and quits the place; For little ailments oft attend the fair15 Not decent for a husband’s eye or ear. Something the dame would ſay: the ready knight Prevents her ſpeech—“Here ’s that ſhall ſet you right, Madam,” ſaid he—With that the door’s made cloſe; He gives deliciouſly the healing doſe.20 “Alas!” she cries; “ah me! O cruel cure! Did ever woman yet like me endure?” The work perform’d, upriſing gay and light, Old Cornus is call’d in to ſee the ſight. A ſprightly red vermilions all her face,25 And her eyes languiſh with unusual grace.
With tears of joy freſh guſhing from his eyes, “O wondrous power of art!” old Cornus cries; “Amazing change! astoniſhing ſucceſs! Thrice happy I! what a brave Doctor ’s this!”30 Maids, wives, and widows, with ſuch whims oppreſt, May thus find certain eaſe—Probatum eſt.32

MRS. CLAVERING SINGING.
When we behold her angel face, Or when ſhe ſings with heav’nly grace, In what we hear or what we ſee, So raviſhing ’s the harmony, The melting ſoul, in rapture loſt, Knows not which charm enchants it moſt.6
Sounds that made hills and rocks rejoice, Amphion’s lute, the Syren’s voice, Wonders with pain receiv’d for true At once find credit, and renew. No charms like Clavering’s voice ſurpriſe, Except the magic of her eyes.12

ENGLISHED, AND APPLIED TO QUEEN ANNE.
Next to the Thunderer let Anna ſtand, In piety ſupreme as in command; Fam’d for victorious arms and generous aid,3 Young Auſtria’s refuge and fierce Bourbon’s dread. Titanian leagues in vain ſhall brave the Rhine, When to the Eagle you the thunder join.6

A LOYAL EXHORTATION. WRITTEN IN THE YEAR 1688.
Of kings dethron’d, and blood of brethren ſpilt, In vain, O Britain! you ’d avert the guilt, Is crimes which your forefathers bluſh’d to own, Repeated, call for heavier vengeance down.4 Tremble, ye People! who your kings diſtreſs; Tremble, ye Kings! for people you oppreſs: Th’ Eternal ſees, arm’d with his forky rods. The riſe and fall of empire ’s from the gods.8

FOR LIBERALITY.
Tho’ ſafe thou think’ſt thy treaſure lies, Hidden in cheſts from human eyes, A fire may come, and it may be Bury’d, my friend, as far from thee. Thy veſſel that yon ocean ſtems,5 Loaded with golden duſt and gems, Purchas’d with ſo much pains and coſt, Yet in a tempeſt may be loſt. Pimps, whores, and bawds, a thankleſs crew, Prieſts, pickpockets, and lawyers too,10 All help by ſeveral ways to drain, Thanking themſelves for what they gain.

A MORNING HYMN. TO THE DUCHESS OF HAMILTON.
Awake, bright Hamilton! ariſe, Goddeſs of Love and of the Day; Awake, diſcloſe thy radiant eyes, And ſhew the ſun a brighter ray: Phœbus in vain calls forth the blushing morn;5 He but creates the day which you adorn.
The lark, that wont with warbling throat Early to ſalute the ſkies, Or ſleeps, or elſe ſuſpends his note, Diſclaiming day till you ariſe.10 Goddeſs! awake, thy beams diſplay, Reſtore the univerſe to light: When Hamilton appears then dawns the day, And when ſhe diſappears begins the night.
Lovers, who watchful vigils keep, (For lovers never, never ſleep!) Wait for the riſing of the fair, To offer ſongs and hymns of pray’r, Like Perſians to the ſun: Ev’n life, and death, and fate, are there;20 For in the rolls of ancient Deſtiny, Th’ inevitable book, ’t was noted down The dying ſhould revive, the living die, As Hamilton ſhall ſmile, as Hamilton ſhall frown.
CHORUS.
“Awake, bright Hamilton! ariſe,25 Goddeſs of Love and of the Day; Awake, diſcloſe thy radiant eyes, And ſhew the ſun a brighter ray: Phœbus in vain calls forth the bluſhing morn; He but creates the day which you adorn.”30
# The Poems and Prose Remains of Arthur Hugh Clough/Volume 2/'With Whom is no Variableness, neither Shadow of Turning'

'WITH WHOM IS NO VARIABLENESS, NEITHER SHADOW OF TURNING.'
It fortifies my soul to know That, though I perish, Truth is so: That, howsoe'er I stray and range, Whate'er I do, Thou dost not change. I steadier step when I recall That, if I slip, Thou dost not fall.
# The Poems and Prose Remains of Arthur Hugh Clough/Volume 2/'O thou of little Faith'

'O THOU OF LITTLE FAITH.'
It may be true That while we walk the troublous tossing sea, That when we see the o'ertopping waves advance, And when we feel our feet beneath us sink, There are who walk beside us; and the cry That rises so spontaneous to the lips, The 'Help us or we perish,' is not nought, An evanescent spectrum of disease. It may be that indeed and not in fancy, A hand that is not ours upstays our steps, A voice that is not ours commands the waves; Commands the waves, and whispers in our ear, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt? At any rate, That there are beings above us, I believe, And when we lift up holy hands of prayer, I will not say they will not give us aid.
# The Poems and Prose Remains of Arthur Hugh Clough/Volume 2/'Perchè pensa? Pensando s' invecchia'

PERCHÈ PENSA? PENSANDO S'INVECCHIA.
To spend uncounted years of pain, Again, again, and yet again, In working out in heart and brain The problem of our being here; To gather facts from far and near, Upon the mind to hold them clear, And, knowing more may yet appear, Unto one's latest breath to fear The premature result to draw— Is this the object, end and law, And purpose of our being here?
# The Poems and Prose Remains of Arthur Hugh Clough/Volume 2/A River Pool

A RIVER POOL.
Weary and faint within me cried My longing heart,—In such pure deep How sweet it were to sit and sleep; To feel each passage from without Close up,—above me and about, Those circling waters crystal clear, That calm impervious atmosphere! There on thy pearly pavement pure, To lean, and feel myself secure, Or through the dim-lit inter-space, Afar at whiles upgazing trace The dimpling bubbles dance around Upon thy smooth exterior face; Or idly list the dreamy sound Of ripples lightly flung, above That home, of peace, if not of love. 1840

# The Poems and Prose Remains of Arthur Hugh Clough/Volume 2/A Protest

A PROTEST.
Light words they were, and lightly, falsely said; She heard them, and she started,—and she rose, As in the act to speak; the sudden thought And unconsider'd impulse led her on.
In act to speak she rose, but with the sense Of all the eyes of that mixed company Now suddenly turned upon her, some with age Hardened and dulled, some cold and critical; Some in whom vapours of their own conceit, As moist malarious mists the heavenly stars, Still blotted out their good, the best at best By frivolous laugh and prate conventional All too untuned for all she thought to say— With such a thought the mantling blood to her cheek Flushed-up, and o'er-flushed itself, blank night her soul Made dark, and in her all her purpose swooned. She stood as if for sinking. Yet anon With recollections clear, august, sublime, Of God's great truth, and right immutable, Which, as obedient vassals, to her mind Came summoned of her will, in self-negation Quelling her troublous earthy consciousness, She queened it o'er her weakness. At the spell Back rolled the ruddy tide, and leaves her cheek Paler than erst, and yet not ebbs so far But that one pulse of one indignant thought Might hurry k hither in flood. So as she stood She spoke. God in her spoke and made her heard. 1845
# The Poems and Prose Remains of Arthur Hugh Clough/Volume 2/'Through a Glass darkly'

'THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY.'
What we, when face to face we see The Father of our souls, shall be, John tells us, doth not yet appear; Ah! did he tell what we are here!
A mind for thoughts to pass into, A heart for loves to travel through, Five senses to detect things near, Is this the whole that we are here?
Rules baffle instincts—instinct rules, Wise men are bad—and good are fools, Facts evil—wishes vain appear, We cannot go, why are we here?
O may we for assurance's sake, Some arbitrary judgement take, And wilfully pronounce it clear, For this or that 'tis we are here?
Or is it right, and will it do, To pace the sad confusion through, And say:—It doth not yet appear, What we shall be, what we are here?
Ah yet, when all is thought and said, The heart still overrules the head; Still what we hope we must believe, And what is given us receive;
Must still believe, for still we hope That in a world of larger scope, What here is faithfully begun Will be completed, not undone.
My child, we still must think, when we That ampler life together see, Some true result will yet appear Of what we are, together, here.
# The Poems and Prose Remains of Arthur Hugh Clough/Volume 2/'What went ye out for to see?'

'WHAT WENT YE OUT FOR TO SEE?'
Across the sea, along the shore, In numbers more and ever more, From lonely hut and busy town, The valley through, the mountain down, What was it ye went out to see, Ye silly folk of Galilee? The reed that in the wind doth shake? The weed that washes in the lake? The reeds that waver, the weeds that float?— A young man preaching in a boat.
What was it ye went out to hear By sea and land, from far and near? A teacher? Rather seek the feet Of those who sit in Moses' seat. Go humbly seek, and bow to them, Far off in great Jerusalem. From them that in her courts ye saw, Her perfect doctors of the law, What is it came ye here to note?— A young man preaching in a boat.
A prophet! Boys and women weak! Declare, or cease to rave; Whence is it he hath learned to speak? Say, who his doctrine gave? A prophet? Prophet wherefore he Of all in Israel tribes?— He teacheth with authority, And not as do the Scribes. 1851
