# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Wells, Charles Jeremiah

​Wells, Charles Jeremiah (1800?-1879).—Poet, b. in London, where he practised as a solicitor, pub. in 1822 Stories after Nature, written in poetic prose, which attracted no attention, and a biblical drama, Joseph and his Brethren (1824), which had an almost similar fate until D. G. Rossetti called attention to it in 1863, giving it a high meed of praise.

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Whateley, Richard

​Whateley, Richard (1787-1863).—Theologian and economist, s. of the Rev. Dr. Joseph W., b. in London, and ed. at a school in Bristol, and at Oxf., where he became a coll. tutor. Taking orders he became Rector of Halesworth, Suffolk. In 1822 he delivered his Bampton lectures on The Use and Abuse of Party Feeling in Religion. Three years later he was made Principal of St. Alban's Hall, in 1829 Prof. of Political Economy, and in 1831 Archbishop of Dublin. As head of a coll. and as a prelate W. showed great energy and administrative ability. He was a vigorous, clear-headed personality, somewhat largely endowed with contempt for views with which he was not in sympathy, and with a vein of caustic humour, in the use of which he was not sparing. These qualities made him far from universally popular; but his honesty, fairness, and devotion to duty gained for him general respect. He had no sympathy with the Oxf. movement, was strongly anti-Calvinistic, and somewhat Latitudinarian, so that he was exposed to a good deal of theological odium from opposite quarters. He was a voluminous writer, and among his best known works are his treatises on Logic (1826) and Rhetoric (1828), his Historic Doubts relative to Napoleon Buonaparte (1819), intended as a reductio ad absurdum of Hume's contention that no evidence is sufficient to prove a miracle, Essays on some Peculiarities of the Christian Religion (1825), Christian Evidences (1837), and ed. of Bacon's Essays with valuable notes, and of Paley's Evidences.

He was generally disliked and distrusted, but held for a short time, from 1708, the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland, when he had Addison as his chief sec.
# A Virgin Heart (de Gourmont, 1921)

First published in French as A coeur virginal in 1907.
A VIRGIN HEART
A NOVEL
BY
REMY DE GOURMONT
AUTHORIZED TRANSLATION
BY
ALDOUS HUXLEY
NICHOLAS L. BROWN NEW YORKMCMXXI
PREFACE
The author had thought of qualifying this book: A Novel Without Hypocrisy; but he reﬂected that these words might appear unseemly, since hypocrisy is becoming more and more fashionable.
He next thought of: A Physiological Novel; but that was still worse in this age of great converts, when grace from on high so opportunely purifies the petty human passions.
These two sub-titles being barred, nothing was left; he has therefore put nothing.
A novel is a novel. And it would be no more than that if the author had not attempted, by an analysis that knows no scruples, to reveal in these pages what may be called the seamy side of a 'virgin heart,' to show that innocence has its instincts, its needs, its physiological dues.
A young girl is not merely a young heart, but a young human body, all complete.
Such is the subject of this novel, which must, in spite of everything, be called 'physiological.'
R.G.

The companion book to Allan Quatermain: "the story of his wife, and the history of some further adventures which befell him." Apparently this is the pirated US version; only chapters 11 to 14 have titles.
    Allan's Wife and Other Tales is a collection of Allan Quatermain stories by H. Rider Haggard, first published in London by Spencer Blackett in December 1889. The title story was new, with its first publication intended for the collection, but two unauthorized editions appeared earlier in New York, based on pirated galley proofs. The other three stories first appeared in an anthology and periodicals in 1885, 1887, and 1886.

A Word made Flesh is seldom And tremblingly partook Nor then perhaps reported But have I not mistook Each one of us has tasted With ecstasies of stealth The very food debated To our specific strength —

# A Word from Jesus Calms the Sea

Peter walking upon the water by John Newton
    A Word from JESUS calms the sea,
    The stormy wind controls;
    And gives repose and liberty
    To tempest-tossed souls.
    To Peter on the waves he came,
    And gave him instant peace;
    Thus he to me revealed his name,
    And bid my sorrows cease.
    Then filled with wonder, joy and love,
    Peter's request was mine;
    LORD, call me down, I long to prove
    That I am wholly thine.
    Unmoved at all I have to meet
    On life's tempestuous sea;
    Hard, shall be easy; bitter, sweet,
    So I may follow thee.
    He heard and smiled, and bid me try,
    I eagerly obeyed;
    But when from him I turned my eye,
    How was my soul dismayed!
    The storm increased on every side,
    I felt my spirit shrink;
    And soon, with Peter, loud I cried,
    LORD, save me, or I sink."
    Kindly he caught me by the hand,
    And said, "Why dost thou fear?
    Since thou art come at my command,
    And I am always near.
    Upon my promise rest thy hope,
    And keep my love in view;
    I stand engaged to hold thee up,
    And guide thee safely through."

# A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans/Biography/John M Leeper

​ John M. Leeper. One of the very successful contractors at Topeka is John M. Leeper, who when a young man learned the trade of brick mason, and on that trade as a foundation has built up a large business in brick contracting and the services of his organization has entered into the construction of several of the most conspicuous public buildings in the state. He is a native of Kansas and was born in Lyon County, September 6, 1872, when that section of the state was still well out on the frontier. His parents were Samuel S. and Elizabeth C. (Morey) Leeper. His father was born in Ohio, came to Kansas in 1870, settling in Lyon County, homesteaded a quarter section of land, and lived there as a farmer until his death, which resulted from his being thrown from a horse. His widow, who is now living at Topeka, was born in Iowa, the daughter of Benjamin M. Morey.
John M. Leeper received his early education in the district schools of Lyon County. While there he learned the trade of brick layer, followed it as a journeyman for a time, and then began taking contracts as an independent builder. For a number of years his home and business interests has been in Topeka. To mention only a few of the important contracts he has handled, he put in the brick work for the Memorial Building, for the state printing plant, for the Warren M. Crosby Dry Goods Building, for the Young Men's Christian Association Building, the Palace Clothing Company Building, and the Mrs. Warren M. Crosby Office Building, all of which are conspicuous structures in the business district of Topeka. He also had the contract for the Manual Training School at Pittsburg, Kansas, and the State Science Building at Emporia, besides a number of structures he has erected for the Wells Fargo Company Express and the Santa Fe Railway Company. Another important branch of his business activities is handling automobiles, automobile repair and supplies. This plant is located at 1113-19 West Sixth Street and is known as the Palace Auto Company. He has a thoroughly equipped establishment, and handles the Paige, Hupmobile and Chevrolet cars. His own attractive residence is at 601 Clay Street.
On October 1, 1894, at Topeka, Mr. Leeper married Miss Jestine Brown, who was born in Shawnee County, Kansas. They are the parents of five children: Mildred J., who was born at Topeka, August 22, 1895, and is the wife of Lowell Hoatson, a bookkeeper at Topeka; Dorothy B., born at Topeka June 4, 1897; Helen E., born December 4, 1901; Mary R., born at Topeka June 21, 1903; and John Milton, Jr., the youngest of the family, born January 7, 1913.

# A treasury of war poetry, British and American poems of the world war, 1914-1919/Out of the Conflict

OUT OF THE CONFLICT
THE ward is strangely hushed to-day; The morning nurses sober-eyed Regard the screened place where, they say, At midnight, Number Twenty died. So many weeks of weary hours He lay and heard our busy tread, As patient as the wistful flowers That spent their fragrance near his bed— So oft we saw in passing by, His questing glance, his dreamful face, We shall regard resentfully The stranger that must fill his place . . .
What vision rapt him through the dim Slow hours? Like wraiths upon the sight All common changes seemed to him Of dawn and day, of eve and night; Each brought its sounds of whispering feet, Its faces, glimmering, ghost by ghost— Yet scarce he left his dream to greet Those comers who would mourn him most. For in his sight shone such a star As, after tempests loud and rude, To sea-worn eyes foretells some far Relief—a port of quietude; And, homing to that bourn, he heard The call so many wanderers know From meadows lulled by bee and bird Where he was happy long ago— Where simple things were ecstasy, And life a game among the flowers, And every hurt and malady Was healed by gentler hands than ours . . . Not jacinth wall and golden street Perchance so rapt his dying gaze; For him, Heaven's wonder was the sweet Lost wonder of his childhood's days; ​Perchance he sought no blissful shore, No place with hosts of myriad blest, But just to lay, a child once more, His tired head on his mother's breast.
Ah, well, to-day all dreams come true For those closed eyes where riddles cease; He leaves the warring world he knew, And ratifies, ere we, his peace. God rest him, then . . . but we must turn To face the same sad tasks again— To tend new convoys, and discern The same dream in the eyes of pain.

OUTWARD BOUND
THERE'S a waterfall I'm leaving Running down the rocks in foam, There's a pool for which I'm grieving Near the water-ouzel's home, And it's there that I'd be lying With the heather close at hand And the curlews faintly crying 'Mid the wastes of Cumberland.
While the midnight watch is winging Thoughts of other days arise, I can hear the river singing Like the saints in Paradise; I can see the water winking Like the merry eyes of Pan, And the slow half-pounder sinking By the bridge's granite span.
Ah! to win them back and clamber Braced anew with winds I love, From the river's stainless amber To the morning mist above, See through cloud-rifts rent asunder, Like a painted scroll unfurled, Ridge and hollow rolling under To the fringes of the world.
Now the weary guard are sleeping, Now the great propellers churn, Now the harbour lights are creeping Into emptiness astern, While the sentry wakes and watches Plunging triangles of light Where the water leaps and catches At our escort in the night.
​Great their happiness who seeing Still with unbenighted eyes Kin of theirs who gave them being, Sun and earth that made them wise, Die and feel their embers quicken Year by year in summer time, When the cotton grasses thicken On the hills they used to climb.
Shall we also be as they be, Mingled with our mother clay, Or return no more, it may be? Who has knowledge, who shall say? Yet we hope that from the bosom Of our shaggy father Pan, When the earth breaks into blossom Richer from the dust of man,
Though the high gods smite and slay us, Though we come not whence we go, As the host of Menelaus Came there many years ago; Yet the selfsame wind shall bear us From the same departing place Out across the Gulf of Saros And the peaks of Samothrace:
We shall pass in summer weather, We shall come at eventide, Where the fells stand up together And all quiet things abide; Mixed with cloud and wind and river, Sun-distilled in dew and rain, One with Cumberland for ever We shall go not forth again.

OXFORD FROM THE TRENCHES
THE clouds are in the sky, and a light rain falling, And through the sodden trench splashed figures come and go, But deep in my heart are the old years calling, And memory is on me of the things I used to know.
Memory is on me of the warm dim chambers, And the laughter of my friends in the huge high-ceilinged hall, Lectures and the voices of the dons deep-droning, The things that were so common once—O God, I feel them all.
Here there are the great things, life and death and danger, All I ever dreamed of in the days that used to be, Comrades and good-fellowship, the soul of an army, But, oh, it is the little things that take the heart of me.
For all we knew of old, for little things and lovely, We bow us to the greater life beyond our hope or fear, To bear its heavy burdens, endure its toil unheeding, Because of all the little things so distant and so dear.
E. A. Mackintosh
Becourt, 1915.
