# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Caveat Emptor

Edition of 1920. See also Caveat emptor on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
CAVEAT, kä'vē-ät, EMPTOR (Lat. “let the buyer beware”), a rule of law that warns the purchaser to take care and examine property before he buys it. In sales of real estate the purchaser's right to relief depends on the covenants in the deed in the absence of fraud on the part of the vendor. In 1 Serg. & R. 42, the rule is stated as follows:
“The rule of caveat emptor strictly applies to the purchase of lands, and the consideration-money cannot be recovered back after a deed executed, unless in case of fraud, where some covenant inserted in the deed has been broken. The purchaser has it in his power to protect himself by proper covenants, and there is no reason why the law should provide to him a remedy, where he himself has been wholly inattentive and negligent in this particular.”
In sales of personal property the purchaser buys at his own risk, in the absence of an express warranty by the seller, or when the law does not imply a warranty from the circumstances of the sale or the nature of the thing
sold, and when the seller was not guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation or concealment. The purchaser must examine the quality of the goods bought and rely upon his own judgment. Generally, if the article purchased is defective, and an examination, such as a reasonable and prudent man would make, would enable him to see the defect, it is not a fraud on the part of the seller not to call his attention to it.
At common law in the city of London, the law of market overt applied to all stores where articles in that particular line were sold. The purchaser got a good title, but as to the quality the purchaser must examine and judge for himself.

CHADWICK, George Whitefield, American composer: b. Lowell, Mass., 13 Nov. 1854. He studied under Stephen Emery and Eugene Thayer in America and under Richter, Reinecke, Rheinberger and Jadassohn in Germany, where he went in 1877. On his return to America in 1880 he became organist of Saint John's Church and joined the staff of the New England Conservatory of Music, of which he became director in 1897. From this time his career has been one of ever increasing activity as composer, conductor, organist and teacher, and in the latter capacity he has numbered among his pupils such well-known musicians as Horatio Parker, Arthur Whiting, Wallace Goodrich, Frederick S. Converse and Henry Hadley. As a composer he is regarded by some foreign critics and by many of his countrymen as the leader of the American school. His leaning is toward the highest instrumental forms, which he handles with considerable skill. In 1897 he received the honorary degree of M.A. from Yale University and in 1905 that of LL.D. from Tufts College. His works are: for orchestra — Three symphonies in C minor, B flat and F; six overtures, ‘Rip Van Winkle,’ ‘Thalia,’ ‘The Miller's Daughter,’ ‘Melpomene,’ ‘Adonais’ (1899), ‘Euterpe’ (1904); serenade in F; suite in A; suite sinfonique; for chorus with orchestra — ‘The Viking's Last Voyage’ (1880); ‘The Pilgrims' Hymn’ (1883); ‘Lovely Rosabelle’ (1889); ‘Phœnix Expirans’ (1891):
‘The Lily Nymph’ (1892); ‘Dedication Ode’ (1883); ‘Columbian Ode’ (1892); ‘Aphrodite’; ‘Tam O'Shanter.’ His most ambitious work is a lyric drama, ‘Judith’ (1900). Two other works for the stage are the comic operas ‘Tabasco’ (1893), and ‘The Quiet Lodging,’ (1892). He has also written many compositions for piano and organ.

HARRISBURG CONVENTION, a meeting called by the anti-Federalists of Pennsylvania to be held at Harrisburg, Pa., on 3 Sept. 1788 for the purpose of deliberating regarding the new Federal Constitution. Although the meeting was well attended and adopted resolutions carrying 12 amendments to the Federal Constitution, to be presented for action to the Pennsylvania legislature in form of a petition, it was abortive inasmuch as even this petition was never formally presented. Another meeting, known by the same name, was the assembly convened in 1828 at Harrisburg, Pa., by the protectionist faction of the New England and Middle States, consequent on the rejection of the high tarriff 'Woolen Bill' in the Senate, by the casting vote of the Vice-President. The forcible presentation of the cause of protection, and the demand of the convention for an increased duty on several manufactured articles, resulted in the passage of the high tariff bill of 1828. Consult Ford, P. L., ‘The Origin, Purpose and Result of the Harrisburg Convention of 1788’ (Brooklyn 1890).

# The Ghost of the Murderer's Hut

My horse had been lamed in the foot In the rocks at the back of the run, So I camped at the Murderer's Hut, At the place where the murder was done.
The walls were all spattered with gore, A terrible symbol of guilt; And the bloodstains were fresh on the floor Where the blood of the victim was spilt.
The wind hurried past with a shout, The thunderstorm doubled its din As I shrank from the danger without, And recoiled from the horror within.
When lo! at the window a shape, A creature of infinite dread; A thing with the face of an ape, And with eyes like the eyes of the dead.
With the horns of a fiend, and a skin That was hairy as satyr or elf, And a long, pointed beard on its chin -- My God! 'twas the Devil himself.
In anguish I sank on the floor, With terror my features were stiff, Till the thing gave a kind of a roar, Ending up with a resonant "Biff!"
Then a cheer burst aloud from my throat, For the thing that my spirit did vex Was naught but an elderly goat -- Just a goat of the masculine sex.
When his master was killed he had fled, And now, by the dingoes bereft, The nannies were all of them dead, And only the billy was left.
So we had him brought in on a stage To the house where, in style, he can strut, And he lives to a fragrant old age As the Ghost of the Murderer's Hut.

CHAP. XXXI. They enter the Pyramid.
PEKUAH descended to the tents, and the rest entered the pyramid: they passed through the galleries, surveyed the vaults of marble, and examined the chest in which the body of the founder is supposed to have been reposited. They then sat down in one of the most spacious chambers to rest a while before they attempted to return.
"We have now, said Imlac, gratified our minds with an exact view of the greatest work of man, except the wall of China.
​"Of the wall it is very easy to assign the motives. It secured a wealthy and timorous nation from the incursions of Barbarians, whose unskilfulness in arts made it easier for them to supply their wants by rapine than by industry, and who from time to time poured in upon the habitations of peaceful commerce, as vultures descend upon domestick fowl. Their celerity and fierceness made the wall necessary, and their ignorance made it efficacious.
"But for the pyramids no reason has ever been given adequate to the cost and labour of the work. The narrowness of the chambers proves that it could afford no retreat from enemies, and treasures might have been reposited at far less expence with equal security. It seems to ​have been erected only in compliance with that hunger of imagination which preys incessantly upon life, and must be always appeased by some employment. Those who have already all that they can enjoy, must enlarge their desires. He that has built for use, till use is supplied, must begin to build for vanity, and extend his plan to the utmost power of human performance, that he may not be soon reduced to form another wish.
"I consider this mighty structure as a monument of the insufficiency of human enjoyments. A king, whose power is unlimited, and whose treasures surmount all real and imaginary wants, is compelled to solace, by the erection of a pyramid, the satiety of dominion and tastelessness of pleasures, and to amuse ​the tediousness of declining life, by seeing thousands labouring without end, and one stone, for no purpose, laid upon another. Whoever thou art, that, not content with a moderate condition, imagined happiness in royal magnificence, and dreamest that command or riches can feed the appetite of novelty with successive gratifications, survey the pyramids, and confess thy folly!"
# The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia/XXXIII

CHAP. XXXII. The princess meets with an unexpected misfortune.
THEY rose up, and returned through the cavity at which they had entered, and the princess prepared ​for her favourite a long narrative of dark labyrinths, and costly rooms, and of the different impressions which the varieties of the way had made upon her. But, when they came to their train, they found every one silent and dejected: the men discovered shame and fear in their countenances, and the women were weeping in the tents.
What had happened they did not try to conjecture, but immediately enquired. "You had scarcely entered into the pyramid, said one of the attendants, when a troop of Arabs rushed upon us: we were too few to resist them, and too slow to escape. They were about to search the tents, set us on our camels, and drive us along before them, when the approach of some Turkish horsemen put them ​to flight; but they seized the lady Pekuah with her two maids, and carried them away: the Turks are now persuing them by our instigation, but I fear they will not be able to overtake them."
The princess was overpowered with surprise and grief. Rasselas, in the first heat of his resentment, ordered his servants to follow him, and prepared to persue the robbers with his sabre in his hand. "Sir, said Imlac, what can you hope from violence or valour? the Arabs are mounted on horses trained to battle and retreat; we have only beasts of burthen. By leaving our present station we may lose the princess, but cannot hope to regain Pekuah."
​In a short time the Turks returned, having not been able to reach the enemy. The princess burst out into new lamentations, and Rasselas could scarcely forbear to reproach them with cowardice; but Imlac was of opinion, that the escape of the Arabs was no addition to their misfortune, for, perhaps, they would have killed their captives rather than, have resigned them.
# The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia/XXXVI

CHAP. XXXV. Pekuah is still remembered by the princess.
NEKAYAH, seeing that nothing was omitted for the recovery of her favourite, and having, by her promise, set her intention of retirement at a distance, began imperceptibly to return to common cares and common pleasures. She rejoiced without her own consent at the suspension of her sorrows, and sometimes caught herself with indignation in the act of turning away her mind from the remembrance of her, whom yet she resolved never to forget.
​She then appointed a certain hour of the day for meditation on the merits and fondness of Pekuah, and for some weeks retired constantly at the time fixed, and returned with her eyes swollen and her countenance clouded. By degrees she grew less scrupulous, and suffered any important and pressing avocation to delay the tribute of daily tears. She then yielded to less occasions; sometimes forgot what she was indeed afraid to remember, and, at last, wholly released herself from the duty of periodical affliction.
Her real love of Pekuah was yet not diminished. A thousand occurrences brought her back to memory, and a thousand wants, which nothing but the confidence of friendship can supply, made her frequently regretted. She, ​therefore, solicited Imlac never to desist from enquiry, and to leave no art of intelligence untried, that, at least, she might have the comfort of knowing that she did not suffer by negligence or sluggishness. "Yet what, said she, is to be expected from our persuit of happiness, when we find the state of life to be such, that happiness itself is the cause of misery? Why should we endeavour to attain that, of which the possession cannot be secured? I shall henceforward fear to yield my heart to excellence, however bright, or to fondness, however tender, lest I should lose again what I have lost in Pekuah."
