# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 13/From Elizabeth Germain to Jonathan Swift - 14

FROM LADY BETTY GERMAIN.
JUNE 5, 1733.
HAS Mr. Stafford Lightburne's friend got the gout in his fingers? Or is he so busy in measuring the water, and casting a figure to know the exact time when to set his friends a swimming, that he cannot find one moment to let me know that he received my letter, written a month ago, to inform you that his grace would cheerfully and readily obey your commands. However, I am again ordered by him to tell you, that the warrant will be sent to Dublin by next post; so pray let Mr. Lightburne be ready to make his personal appearance, lest they should not else know how to find him. It was well you needed no intercessor to his grace; and that the no promise from you, is of much more weight than my rhetorick: for I have been so horridly used by a nasty griping brother black coat, in a small three and sixpence affair of my own, that I do not know ​whether I should not have done like you of the faction, revenge myself of the innocent, for the sake of one bishop and minister, that I say, have cheated, fleeced, and flead me, just as if they had been South Sea or East India directors.
You are angry, if I do not mention Mrs. Floyd to you; so, I must tell you, she is gone for a little time into the country, to try if that will ever cure her cough. I am heartily sorry for your new friend Mrs. Kelly, who writes in a desponding way to Mrs. Chamber about her health, and talks of going to Spa. This is a melancholy subject, and I hate to be vexed. So I will say no more of it, but adieu, my dear dean, and let me hear from you soon.

# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/St. Croix (island)

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
ST. CROIX, a West Indian island, formerly belonging to Denmark; purchased by the United States in 1916 and now one of the Virgin Islands. Area, 74 square miles; pop. about 20,000. Pop. of Fredericksted, chief town, 3,000. The W. portion is hilly, but the soil almost throughout the island is productive. Sugar is the principal crop, which is, however, diminishing. The island was discovered by Columbus.
# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/St. Thomas (Virgin Islands)

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
ST. THOMAS, one of the Virgin Islands, W. I., formerly belonging to Denmark, but now territory of the United States; 36 miles E. of Porto Rico; area,
33 square miles. English is the language of the educated classes. The surface is hilly and the soil poor. The cultivation of vegetables, guinea grass, and a small quantity of cotton employs the scanty rural population. The port, St. Thomas, was formerly a busy emporium for the European trade of the West Indies, the harbor in which the merchant fleets assembled to wait for their convoys, and later the principal port of call in the West Indies. All these advantages have now passed from it. Before the abolition of slavery it was covered with prosperous sugar plantations. The island is often visited by earthquakes, but they are not, as a rule, so destructive as the cyclones. It was first colonized by the Dutch in 1657. The British held it in 1667-1671, 1801, 1807-1815; and the United States purchased it from Denmark in 1916. Pop. (1917) 10,191.

After being educated at Göttingen and studying public law at Wetzlar, he entered the Prussian civil service, and after filling several important offices, was, in 1786, appointed president of the Westphalian Chambers, which post he held till 1804, in which year he became Minister of Finance and Trade. In this capacity he laid the foundation of important social reforms; but, exciting the jealousy of Napoleon, he was exiled to Prague. In 1812 he went to St. Petersburg, where he rendered great services to the Russian Government during the French invasion. Subsequently returning to his own country, he was placed at the head of administrative affairs, from which position he retired in 1827. He died in Kappenberg, Prussia, June 29, 1831.
# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/St. Mary's Canal

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
ST. MARY'S CANAL, an improved river channel connecting Lake Superior with Lake Huron. It flows N. E. for 40 miles on the frontier between the upper peninsula of Michigan and the Canadian Province of Ontario. There are two main channels divided by large islands and both expand into small lakes at some points 10 miles wide. There is a fall of 20 feet, the steepest descent being at St. Mary's Rapids, about a mile long, near the upper end. The improvement began in 1855 with locks built at a cost of $1,000,000, and was continued in 1870-81 and 1889-96 by the United States Government. The traffic through the canal has attained great proportions in recent years, and improvements have been made on the Canadian side by the Canadian Government.

and another final collection was issued by the German Goethe Society in 1886. The lady's letters to Goethe were destroyed by her shortly before her death. She wrote a tragedy, “Dido.” She died in Weimar Jan. 6, 1827.
# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Stork

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
STORK, in ornithology, any individual of the genus Ciconia, or of the sub-family Ciconiinæ. In form the storks resemble the herons, but are more robust, and have larger bills, shorter toes, with a non-serrated claw on the middle toe. They inhabit the vicinity of marshes and rivers, where they find an abundant supply of food, consisting of frogs, lizards, fishes, and even young birds. Storks are migratory, arriving from the S. at their breeding haunts in the early spring, and departing again in the autumn. The white or house stork, C. alba, which is common in many countries of Central Europe, constructs a large nest, most frequently on the chimney of a cottage. The plumage is dirty white, the quills and the longest feathers on the wing
covers black; beak and feet red. The male is about 42 inches long, the female somewhat less. The black stork, C. nigra, from the center and E. of Europe, Asia, and Africa, has the upper surface black, the lower parts white. Storks are protected by laws in some countries for their services in destroying small mammals and reptiles, and in consuming offal. The wood-ibis, a sub-genus, is found in waters of our Southern States. Heralds have adopted the stork as an emblem of piety and gratitude.

THE KRAKEN
Below the thunders of the upper deep ; Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea, His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep The Kraken sleepeth : faintest sunlights flee About his shadowy sides : above him swell Huge sponges of millennial growth and height; And far away into the sickly light, From many a wondrous grot and secret cell Unnumber’d and enormous polypi Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green. There hath he lain for ages and will lie Battening upon huge seaworms in his sleep, Until the latter fire shall heat the deep ; Then once by man and angels to be seen, In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

Obituary
The death is announced of Mr. Edward Walford, the editor and compiler of "Watford's County Families of the United Kingdom," which took place at Ventnor on Saturday morning. Mr. Walford, who was about 74 years old, had been in bad health for some years. He was a Balliol with Matthew Arnold, Edwin Palmer, James Riddell, and other distinguished men, and showed is own scholarship by obtaining the Chancellor's Prize for Latin verse in 1843. In 1846 he took his degree with a third class in Literæ Humaniores, and obtained the Denyer Theological Prize in 1848 and 1849. Like other Oxford men of that date, he fell under the influence of the movement associated with Newman's name, and became a Roman Catholic. He devoted his life principally to genealogical and historical studies, on which subjects he was for many years a frequent contributor to The Times. Besides "Walford's County Families," which is in its 27th annual edition, he was the author of "Stories of Our County Families" and of other works of a similar character.

Layout 2Mr. Robert Harrison died on Monday at the age of 76. He was of a Lancashire family, and his mother, Mrs. Mary Harrison, was one of the original members of the New Water Colour Society, now the Royal Institute. Mr. Harrison spent much of his earlier life abroad, and lived for nearly ten years in Russia, where he was tutor in Prince Davidoff's family and lecturer in the St. Anne's College, St. Petersburg. He returned to England in 1855 to take up the appointment of librarian to the Leeds Library, and two years later succeeded the late Mr. Bodham Donne as secretary and librarian to the London Library, from which post he retired as lately as 1893. His position brought him into frequent contact with the leading literary and political figures of his time. He was a man of wide culture, and found time in the midst of a busy life to make various contributions to literature, including a small book on "Nine Years in Russia," and, in conjunction with the late Mr. Gostwick, the "Outlines of German Literature," which was passed through two editions. He edited Mackenzies's "Universal Dictionary of Biography," and was a contributor to the great "Dictionary of National Biography" now in course of publication, besides numerous minor contributions to current literature.

Obituary
A correspondent writes :—"May I supplement your notice of the late Mr. Edward Walford by mentioning that he edited the Gentleman's Magazine from January, 1866 to May, 1868, when Mr. Joseph Hatton took up the work? In 1880 Mr. Walford started the Antiquary, but his name disappears from the title-page after the second half-yearly volume, a matter which was a standing grievance with him for a very long time. He started a rival periodical, the Antiquarian Magazine and Bibliographer, in 1882, and it lived for about six years."

BY ANNE O'HAGAN
DECORATIONS BY OLIVER HERFORD
COME live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That stream and valley, dale and field,
Efficiently remodeled, yield.
The dell where I shall hide thee, dear,
Must to the 'Change be fairly near— An hour from town, if aëroplaned— And thoroughly sub-tiled and drained.
For vine-wreathed cot I 'll build thee there
The Villa d'Este, copied fair.
With thirty baths, all water-filled
From subterranean wells I 've drilled.   I ll build—of course!—a theater
Where thou, with comrades amateur,
May'st work to elevate the stage.
Chief rural pastime of our age.
When in the dusk the fireflies flit
About thy lawns, thy windows, lit
From my great dynamo, will shame
Their poor, pale phosphorescent flame.
Sometimes thou 'lt stroll in dappled shade
Through woodland paths, macadam-laid;
And gather lilies, silver-cool,
From many a well-cemented pool.
The nut, the berry, sweet and wild,
Shall give thee of their flavors mild,
Judiciously eked out with quail.
With truffles, and madeira pale.
Come live with me and be my love.
And we will all the pleasures prove
That stream and valley, dale and field,
The Plaza or the Ritz can yield.
