Edition of 1905. See also John Tenniel on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​TENNIEL, tĕn-nēl′, Sir John (1820—). An English painter and illustrator, born in London. He was practically self-taught. In 1845 he won a prize in the competition for the decoration of Westminster Palace, with a cartoon, “Allegory of Justice,” the success of which also secured for him the commission to paint a fresco, Dryden's “Saint Cecelia,” in the House of Lords. His most successful work, however, has been in black-and-white. From 1852 to 1901 he was cartoonist for Punch, executing over 2000 cartoons. His reputation rests chiefly upon his book illustrations. Among the principal are his drawings for Æsop's Fables (1848); Moore's Lalla Rookh (1861); Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1866), and its sequel, Through the Looking Glass (1870); the Ingoldsby Legends; and his classical illustrations to the Legendary Ballads. In the statuesque and ideal character of the figures, his work recalls the German influence prevalent at the middle of the nineteenth century.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Terence

Edition of 1905. See also Terence on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​TER′ENCE (Publius Terentius Afer) (c.185–c.159 B.C.). A Roman writer of comedies. He was born at Carthage, and was perhaps of African (not Phœnician) origin. He was brought to Rome and there became the slave of the Roman senator Publius Terentius Lucanus. who, out of regard for his handsome person and unusual talents, gave him a good education, and finally manumitted him. On his manumission, he assumed his patron's prænomen and nomen. His first play was the Andria, which was put upon the stage in B.C. 166. Its success was immediate, and introduced its author to the most refined society of Rome, where his engaging address and accomplishments made him a particular favorite. His chief patrons were Lælius and the younger Scipio, after living with whom in great intimacy for some years in Rome he went to Greece, where he spent a year in studying the Greek comedies of Menander, Diphilus, Apollodorus, and others, and adapting them in Latin for the Roman stage. He never returned; and the accounts of how he came by his death are conflicting. He is supposed to have died by drowning in B.C. 159. Six comedies are extant under the name of Terentius, which arc perhaps all he produced: Andria, Hecyra, Heauton-timoroumenos, Eunuchus, Phormio, and Adelphi. Terence preserved a sort of charmed life throughout the dark ages when ​classical literature was almost forgotten, and on the revival of letters was studied as a model by the most accomplished playwrights. His language is pure, almost immaculate, and though inferior to Plautus in comic power, he is more than his match in consistency of plot and character, in tenderness, in wit, and in metrical skill. The best editions are those of Wagner (Cambridge, 1869), Umpfenbach (Berlin, 1870), Dziatzko (Leipzig, 1884), and Fleckeisen (ib., 1901). There are good English translations by Colman (London, 1841) and Riley (New York, 1859).

Lorraine (lōr-rān'), a country in Europe which at first included Alsace and Friesland and the lands between the Scheldt, Meuse and Rhine. In 954 Lorraine was divided into Upper and Lower Lorraine. The latter, known as Brabant, now forms part of the kingdom of Belgium and the provinces of Brabant and Guelderland in Holland. Upper Lorraine in 1766 was united to France, and afterward subdivided into the departments of Meuse, Moselle, Meurthe and Vosges.

His Metaphysics was published in 1841, and his Microcosmos, giving his views of nature and man, in 1856-64. It is sufficiently popular in style to be read by general readers. His General Physiology of Life, published in 1851, dealt with the phenomena of life. Lotze died at Berlin on July 1, 1881.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Long Parliament

See also Long Parliament on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Long Par′liament, the name by which the fifth parliament summoned by Charles I is known. It met on Nov. 3, 1640, and began its work by reversing all the tryannical and illegal acts of the previous 11 years. It abolished the star-chamber and high-commission, and secured itself by passing an act that it could not be dissolved without its own consent. Colonel Pride drove 96 members, who were displeasing to the army, out of Parliament, and the remnant, called the Rump, continued to sit till Cromwell turned them out in 1653. Richard Cromwell failing to maintain authority, the Rump was recalled. Of the 160 members who continued sitting after the king's death, 90 returned to their seats. Proving again displeasing to the army, General Lambert turned them out. But there were dissensions among the officers of the army, and these members of Parliament were once more restored as the only body in the country having any kind of authority. After issuing writs for a new election, it dissolved itself March 16, 1660.

See also Lottery on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Lot'teries are a species of gambling wherein the holders of certain numbers have prizes apportioned to them by a drawing of chance. In the United States the largest scheme of this kind was the Louisiana lottery, which was supported by the constitution of that state on the payment of a certain amount annually into the state's treasury, but in 1891 the constitution was amended prohibiting the existence of the lottery after 1895. The postal laws of the United States prohibit the passage of any lottery matter through the mails.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Lotus

See also Lotus (plant) on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Lo'tus, a name applied to the most widely different plants. The Lotus of botanists is a genus of about 100 species found in temperate regions and belonging to the well-known pea-family, a genus probably not known at all in a popular way. The lotus referred to by the Greeks probably was the species (L. corniculatus) spoken of to-day as the bird's-foot tree-foil. The African lotus has given certain tribes the name of lotus-eaters, and the fruit was said to be the size of an olive and to have the sweetness of honey and the taste of a date. A number of shrubby desert forms have been pointed out as the probable lotus of the lotus-eaters. The Egyptian lotus, the sacred lotus of the Nile, is Nymphœa lotus, a large water-lily with rose-colored as well as white flowers. The Hindoo and Chinese lotus, also called the sacred bean, is a Nelumbo, another genus of the water-lily family.

Natis in usum.
WHAT, fight with cups that should give joy? 'Tis barbarous; leave such savage ways To Thracians. Bacchus, shamefaced boy, Is blushing at your bloody frays. The Median sabre! lights and wine! Was stranger contrast ever seen? Cease, cease this brawling, comrades mine, And still upon your elbows lean.
Well, shall I take a toper's part Of fierce Falernian? let our guest,
Megilla's brother, say what dart Gave the death-wound that makes him blest. He hesitates? no other hire Shall tempt my sober brains. Whate'er The goddess tames you, no base fire She kindles; 'tis some gentle fair Allures you still. Come, tell me truth, And trust my honour.—That the name? That wild Charybdis yours? Poor youth!

Te maris et terræ.
THE sea, the earth, the innumerable sand, Archytas, thou couldst measure; now, alas! A little dust on Matine shore has spann'd That soaring spirit; vain it was to pass The gates of heaven, and send thy soul in quest O'er air's wide realms; for thou hadst yet to die. Ay, dead is Pelops' father, heaven's own guest, And old Tithonus, rapt from earth to sky,
And Minos, made the council-friend of Jove; And Panthus' son has yielded up his breath Once more, though down he pluck'd the shield, to prove His prowess under Troy, and bade grim death O'er skin and nerves alone exert its power, Not he, you grant, in nature meanly read. Yes, all "await the inevitable hour;" The downward journey all one day must tread. Some bleed, to glut the war-god's savage eyes; Fate meets the sailor from the hungry brine; Youth jostles age in funeral obsequies; Each brow in turn is touch'd by Proserpine. Me, too, Orion's mate, the Southern blast, Whelm'd in deep death beneath the Illyrian wave. But grudge not, sailor, of driven sand to cast A handful on my head, that owns no grave. So, though the eastern tempests loudly threat Hesperia's main, may green Venusia's crown Be stripp'd, while you lie warm; may blessings yet Stream from Tarentum's guard, great Neptune, down, And gracious Jove, into your open lap! What! shrink you not from crime whose punishment Falls on your innocent children? it may hap Imperious Fate will make yourself repent.
My prayers shall reach the avengers of all wrong; No expiations shall the curse unbind. Great though your haste, I would not task you long; Thrice sprinkle dust, then scud before the wind.

OF Dian's praises, tender maidens, tell; Of Cynthus' unshorn god, young striplings, sing; And bright Latona, well Beloved of Heaven's high King. Sing her that streams and silvan foliage loves, Whate'er on Algidus' chill brow is seen, In Erymanthian groves Dark-leaved, or Cragus green.
Sing Tempe too, glad youths, in strain as loud, And Phœbus' birthplace, and that shoulder fair, His golden quiver proud And brother's lyre to bear. His arm shall banish Hunger, Plague, and War To Persia and to Britain's coast, away From Borne and Cæsar far, If you have zeal to pray.

Quis desiderio.
WHY blush to let our tears unmeasured fall For one so dear? Begin the mournful stave, Melpomene, to whom the Sire of all Sweet voice with music gave. And sleeps he then the heavy sleep of death, Quintilius? Piety, twin sister dear Of Justice! naked Truth! unsullied Faith! When will ye find his peer? By many a good man wept, Quintilius dies; By none than you, my Virgil, trulier wept: Devout in vain, you chide the faithless skies. Asking your loan ill-kept. No, though more suasive than the bard of Thrace You swept the lyre that trees were fain to hear, Ne'er should the blood revisit his pale face Whom once with wand severe Mercury has folded with the sons of night, Untaught to prayer Fate's prison to unseal. Ah, heavy grief! but patience makes more light What sorrow may not heal.

Venus comes in all her might, Quits Cyprus for my heart, nor lets me tell Of the Parthian, bold in flight, Nor Scythian hordes, nor aught that breaks her spell. Heap the grassy altar up, Bring vervain, boys, and sacred frankincense; Fill the sacrificial cup; A victim's blood will soothe her vehemence.

NO need of Moorish archer's craft To guard the pure and stainless liver; He wants not, Fuscus, poison'd shaft To store his quiver, Whether he traverse Libyan shoals, Or Caucasus, forlorn and horrent, Or lands where far Hydaspes rolls His fabled torrent. A wolf, while roaming trouble-free In Sabine wood, as fancy led me, Unarm'd I sang my Lalage, Beheld, and fled me. Dire monster! in her broad oak woods Fierce Daunia fosters none such other. Nor Juba's land, of lion broods The thirsty mother.
Place me where on the ice-bound plain No tree is cheer'd by summer breezes, Where Jove descends in sleety rain Or sullen freezes; Place me where none can live for heat, 'Neath Phœbus' very chariot plant me, That smile so sweet, that voice so sweet, Shall still enchant me.

Jam satis terris.
ENOUGH of snow and hail at last The Sire has sent in vengeance down: His bolts, at His own temple cast, Appall'd the town,
Appall'd the lands, lest Pyrrha's time Return, with all its monstrous sights, When Proteus led his flocks to climb The flatten'd heights, When fish were in the elm-tops caught, Where once the stock-dove wont to bide, And does were floating, all distraught, Adown the tide. Old Tiber, hurl'd in tumult back From mingling with the Etruscan main, Has threaten'd Numa's court with wrack And Vesta's fane. Roused by his Ilia's plaintive woes, He vows revenge for guiltless blood, And, spite of Jove, his banks o'erflows, Uxorious flood. Yes, Fame shall tell of civic steel That better Persian lives had spilt, To youths, whose minish'd numbers feel Their parents' guilt. What god shall Rome invoke to stay Her fall? Can suppliance overbear The ear of Vesta, turn'd away From chant and prayer? Who comes, commission'd to atone For crime like ours? at length appear, A cloud round thy bright shoulders thrown, Apollo seer! Or Venus, laughter-loving dame, Round whom gay Loves and Pleasures fly;
Or thou, if slighted sons may claim A parent's eye, O weary with thy long, long game, Who lov'st fierce shouts and helmets bright, And Moorish warrior's glance of flame Or e'er he smite! Or Maia's son, if now awhile In youthful guise we see thee here, Cæsar's avenger—such the style Thou deign'st to bear; Late be thy journey home, and long Thy sojourn with Rome's family; Nor let thy wrath at our great wrong Lend wings to fly. Here take our homage, Chief and Sire; Here wreathe with bay thy conquering brow, And bid the prancing Mede retire, Our Cæsar thou!

For you Calenian grapes are press'd, And Cæcuban; these cups of mine Falernum's bounty ne'er has bless'd, Nor Formian vine.

Whether 'tis Spring's first shiver, faintly heard Through the light leaves, or lizards in the brake The rustling thorns have stirr'd, Her heart, her knees, they quake. Yet I, who chase you, no grim lion am, No tiger fell, to crush you in my gripe: Come, learn to leave your dam, For lover's kisses ripe.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Worden, John Lorimer

See also John Lorimer Worden on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Word′en, John Lorimer, American naval officer, was born at Ossining, N. Y., on March 12, 1818. In 1835 he entered the navy as a midshipman and eleven years later gained a lieutenancy. Early in 1861, after bearing dispatches to Fort Pickens, he was captured by Confederate troops. Towards the close of the year he was exchanged, and subsequently took part in superintending the construction of The Monitor (q. v.). When that famous ironclad was completed, Worden was given command. At Hampton Roads, on March 9, 1862, he gave battle to the Confederate ram Merrimac (or Virginia), then endeavoring to destroy northern warships. In the historic encounter between the two vessels neither was seriously injured, though a hot cannonade was maintained for two hours and over, in which Worden was temporarily blinded by the explosion of a shell on the pilot-house of The Monitor. Receiving the thanks of Congress for his service on the occasion, the captain also obtained a step in rank, while he was transferred to the command of The Montauk. On the latter ironclad Commander Worden destroyed the Confederate privateer Nashville, which had taken shelter under the guns of Fort McAllister, and later took part in the bombardment of Charleston (April 7, 1863). He subsequently was on special duty at New York City, and, as commodore, was head of the Naval Academy from 1870 to 1874. In 1872 he was commissioned rear-admiral, and in 1886, at his own request, he was retired. He died at Washington, D. C., on Oct. 18, 1897.
