# The Earliest English Translations of Bürger's Lenore: a Study in English and German Romanticism/Chapter 8/Lenora by William Taylor

First published in Monthly Magazine, March 1796.
LENORA
By William Taylor
* ↑ The first version, as published in the Monthly Magazine.
* ↑ Misprinted fiend is in Monthly Magazine. Lewis, reprinting in Tales of Wonder, changed fiendis to infernal.
* ↑ In this line him is repeated by mistake. So in first line of next stanza despaise is printed for despaire.
* ↑ The line reads What! what ho! but as the reprint in Historic Survey repeats ho, presumably that was intended here. Otherwise the first what was intended to serve for the first iamb, not an impossibility.
* ↑ Printed speed here, but speede in other cases of this thrice repeated stanza.
* ↑ They heede is calle; presumably a misprint for his, though is for his is common enough in older writers.
* ↑ In using for Tales of Wonder Lewis altered the last three lines to,His armour, green with rust, Which damps of charnel vaults had bred, Straight fell away to dust. This removes the single feminine ending in the rimes of Taylor's version.

LENORE
By H. J. Pye
* ↑ In his preface Pye made a special point of having indicated the speeches of Lenore by single, the others by double quotation marks, but these have not been retained. A small number of misprints or unusual spellings have been corrected.
* ↑ This, and the other imitation of Shakespeare in stanza the fifteenth, are literally translated from the original.—Note by Pye. The allusion in stanza fifteen is to the line, "Thro' the hawthorne etc., in comparison with Lear III, iv, 47: "Through the sharp hawthorn blows the cold wind."
# The Earliest English Translations of Bürger's Lenore: a Study in English and German Romanticism/Preface

PREFACE
The present volume was begun as a study such as might have been printed in one of the scholarly journals devoted to English and the other modern languages. The story grew to be so interesting to the writer, and required so long in the telling, that it seemed best to offer it in another form.
The translations which accompany it, illustrating the unusual activity in this direction of a single year, have most of them been long inaccessible to the general reader. Frequent errors concerning them have also been made, and it therefore seemed desirable to print them with this introductory study. To these have been added for comparison the German Lenore from the last edition of the poem published during Bürger's lifetime.
I have to thank in this public way a number of people who have assisted me in various respects. The officials of the Harvard University library have freely and frequently sent me books without which the investigation could not have been made. Messrs. Stevens and Brown, of London, have made me accurate transcripts of Pye's translation of Bürger's poem, and of the text in Scott's first edition of William and Helen. The Rev. Alexander Gordon, who wrote the article on Pye in the Dictionary of National Biography, has placed at my disposal some facts not given in that article. Mr. J. B. Hamilton of Melrose, at the solicitation of Messrs. Ballantyne, Hanson & Co. of Edinburgh, has examined for me the copy of Scott's Apology for Tales of Terror in the Abbotsford library. Especially, too, has Miss J. H. Adeane, author of The Girlhood of Maria Josepha Holroyd, and The Early Married Life of Maria Josepha, Lady Stanley, allowed me to use the first edition of Mr. J. T. Stanley's translation of Lenore, a copy of which is not in the British Museum. This was Mr. Stanley's personal copy from which the second and third editions were made, and contains not only the manuscript changes for the third edition, but some modifications never before printed.

United States Supreme Court
76 U.S. 630
The Corsica
APPEAL from the Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, affirming a decree of the District Court of said district; in which latter court Samuel Schuyler, owner of the steamer America, had libelled the steam-propeller Corsica, one of the steamers of the Cunard line, for damages which his vessel had suffered by being, as he alleged, run into by the Corsica, in the harbor of New York. The collision occurred on the 9th of September, 1865, about midday; the weather having been clear, and the vessels for some time previously in plain sight of each other. The libelled vessel, the Corsica, laid the blame of the disaster wholly on the other steamer. The District Court decreed for the libellant; the Circuit Court affirmed that decree, condemning the Corsica in $33,000 damages and costs. Whereupon the owners of the Corsica appealed to this court.
Mr. D. D. Lord, for the appellant; Mr. Van Sandvoord, contra.
Mr. Justice BRADLEY stated the facts, and delivered the opinion of the court.

Her neck and breast was like the snow, Then from the bore I was forced to go.

For texts, information, or correction of errors, I have the pleasure of expressing my indebtedness to the following gentlemen in Europe: Mr Andrew Lang; Mr J. K. Hudson of Manchester; Professsor J. Estlin Carpenter of Oxford; Messrs W. Macmath and David MacRitchie of Edinburgh; Mr W. Walker of Aberdeen; Dr Axel Olrik of Copenhagen; and in America to the following ladies and gentlemen: Miss Mary C. Burleigh of Massachusetts; Miss Louise Porter Haskell of South Carolina; Professor Kittredge, Dr W. H. Schofield, Dr W. P. Few and Mr E. E. Griffith of Harvard College; Professor W. U. Richardson of the Harvard Medical School; Dr F. A. Morrison of Indiana, and Mr W. W. Newell, editor of the Journal of American Folk-Lore. The services of Mr Leo Wiener of Harvard College have been at my full command in Slavic matters, and had time been at my disposal would have been employed for a much wider examination of the very numerous collections of Slavic popular songs. Mr G. F. Arnold, late of Harvard College Library, obligingly undertook the general bibliographical index at the end of this volume; but the labor proving too great for his delicate health, this index was completed by my friend Miss Catharine Innes Ireland, who besides has generously devoted a great deal of time to the compilation or correction of all the other indexes and the preparation of them for the press. Still further favors are acknowledged elsewhere. In conclusion I would recognize with thanks and admiration the patience, liberality and consideration shown me by my publishers from beginning to end.
F. J. C.
[The manuscript of this Tenth and final Part of the English and Scottish Ballads (including the Advertisement), was left by Professor Child substantially complete, with the exception of the Bibliography, and nearly ready for the press. The Bibliography, which Miss Ireland had in hand at the time of Professor Child's death, has been completed by her, with some assistance. In accordance with Professor Child's desire, and at the request of his family, I have seen the present Part through the press. My own notes, except in the Indexes and Bibliography, are enclosed within brackets, and have been confined, in the main, to entries in the Additions and Corrections. Acknowledgments are due to Mr Macmath, Professor Lanman, and Dr F. N. Robinson for various contributions, and to Mr W. R. Spalding for reading the proof-sheets of the music. Mr Leo Wiener, Instructor in Slavic Languages in Harvard University, has had the great kindness to revise the Slavic titles in the List of Ballads, the List of Collections of Ballads, and the Bibliography. To Miss Ireland I am especially indebted for material assistance of various kinds, especially in the proofreading.

VILLARI, vēl'lạ-rē, Pasquale, Italian historian: b. Naples, 3 Oct. 1827; d. Florence, December 1917. The son of a lawyer, he migrated to Florence after the failure of the independence movement in 1848 and began collecting new materials on Savonarola. He published the fruits of his researches in the Archivio Storico Italiano in 1856, and three years later was nominated professor of the philosophy of history at the University of Pisa, about the time that he published his ‘Life of Savonarola,’ a work that established his reputation as a historian of wide vision and artistic representation. His social political writings, however, exerted the most powerful influence in Italy, especially after the collapse of 1866, when he plainly told his countrymen that the nation itself was directly responsible for that inglorious campaign. His second most important work, the ‘Life of Machiavelli,’ appeared a few years later. In 1867 Villari was elected to the Chamber of Deputies, and appointed to the senate in 1884, and became its vice-president in 1887. In the Rudini Cabinet of 1891 he was Minister of Education, when he introduced valuable reforms in the curriculum of the schools.

VINCETOXICUM, a genus of American vines, belonging to the milk-weed family. They have usually cordate leaves and rather large, white or purple-tinted, five-merous flowers with a cup-shaped crown, in axillary umbel-like fascicles. The United States species are found chiefly in the South. V. shortii has the odor of the strawberry shrub. Cynanthus acumniatum, with star-shaped, creamy flowers, called mosquito-catcher, because it secretes a viscid substance on which insects become fixed, was formerly placed in this genus. Vincetoxicum is the officinal name of the swallow-wort.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Vicksburg

Edition of 1920. See also Vicksburg, Mississippi on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
VICKSBURG, vĭks'bėrg, Miss., city, county-seat of Warren County, on the Mississippi River, a few miles below the mouth of the Yazoo River, and on the Alabama and Vicksburg, the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific and the Illinois Central railroads, about 45 miles west of Jackson, the capital and largest city of the State, and 230 miles northwest of New Orleans. The city has regular steamboat connections with all the important Mississippi River ports. It is in an agricultural region in which cotton is one of the principal products. It is on a high bluff overlooking the river, and the streets, though not broad, are regular, well-kept, and have a number of shade trees. The chief manufacturing establishments are cottonseed-oil mills, planing mills, railroad shops, foundries, machine shops and an ice factory. In 1910 (government census) there were 47 manufactories with a combined capital invested in plants of $1,235,743; and employing 1,433 persons, to whom were paid annually $695,000. The cost of raw material was $1,085,127 and the annual value of the product was $2,229,344. The city has an extensive trade in cotton and lumber products and general produce.
The principal public buildings are the government building, the county courthouse, the Charity hospital, the churches and schools. The educational institutions are a public high school, Saint Aloysius College (R.C.), for boys, Cherry Street College (colored), founded in 1892, Saint Francis Xavier's Academy, public and parish schools for both races and school libraries. There is here a National cemetery which contains 16,727 graves, of which 12,723 are of unknown dead. The eight banks have a combined capital of about $1,000,000. There are two daily newspapers. The government is vested in a mayor and board of aldermen, consisting of eight members. Vicksburg was laid out as a city on the plantations of John Lane and William Vick. In 1840 it was incorporated. It soon became a prominent distributing centre for the interior towns and a shipping point for the products of the plantations. It came into great prominence during the Civil War. The city suffered some damages in 1876, when the river cut through a neck of land. The government has since expended about $3,000,000 in efforts to divert the Yazoo River, and also to restore the harbor. Pop. 23,000.

Edition of 1920. See also Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
VIDYASAGAR, Iswar Chandra, Indian author, philanthropist and social reformer: b. in the autumn of 1820 at Birsinha in the district of Midnapur, Bengal, India; d. 30 July 1891. He was a Brahmin by birth. His father, the Kurdas Bandopadhya, was a poor man. When Iswar Chandra was nine years old, his father took him to Calcutta. They walked their way to the metropolis — such was their poverty. The boy was educated in the Sanskrit College, and in all examinations he used to be invariably at the top of his class. At this time, he suffered from extreme poverty. Quite often he was forced to go without even proper food and clothing. He received the title “Vidyasagar” (the ocean of learning) in 1840. Popularly, he is called in India, “Danver Sagar” — the ocean of kindness. His first work in Bengali prose,
‘Betal Pancha Bingshati,’ was published in 1847 and his ‘Sakoontala’ in 1835. But his masterpiece, ‘Sitar Banawbash’ (‘The Banishment of Sita’) was published in 1862. Raja Ram Mohun Roy, Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar and Akshya Kumar Datta were the fathers of Bengali prose. Vidyasagar was appointed as the Head Pandit of the Fort William College in April 1841 and the first principal of the Sanskrit College in January 1851. Apart from his scholarship, Vidyasagar was well known as a social reformer. He was the originator of the movement for the remarriage of Hindu widows. He proved from Hindu scriptures that there was no injunction against such marriages. He published his ‘Remarriages of Hindu Widows’ in 1855. He was vehemently attacked by the orthodox Hindus. Even his life was threatened. In this fight against orthodoxy, he was supported by two prominent men, Prosonno Kumar Tagore and Ram Gopal Ghose. Ultimately, the Widow Remarriage Act was passed in 1856. The extreme poverty of his boyhood and early youth, instead of turning him into a miser, as is sometimes the case, made him a philanthropist. And it is as the benefactor of his people that the people of India cherish his memory. He gave away most of his income in charity. He supported scores of poor students and hundreds at poor widows and helped thousands of persons of all classes. To give higher education at a reasonable cost, Vidyasagar opened, in 1872, the Metropolitan College of Calcutta, entirely at his own expense, and the income from the college he used for the improvement of the institution. This college still stands in Calcutta as a living monument to the memory of this great man.

Edition of 1920. See also Clara Viebig on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
VIEBIG, fē'bĭk, Clara, German novelist and writer of short stories: b. Trèves, 17 July 1860. When she was nine years old, her father, a Prussian oberregierungsrat, was transferred and the family went with him to his new post at Düsseldorf, where her girlhood was spent; but she frequently returned to the Moselle scenery at Trèves and in the environment, in which she took many tramps. Her father died when she was hardly of age and she was sent to live on the estate of some relatives in Posen. She went to Berlin to study music, but instead found that the stimulus of the great city, in addition to the landscapes she had already seen, was beginning to destine her for a literary career, on which she embarked in 1894. After marrying the publisher, Fritz Th. Cohn (a partner in the firm of Fontane and Company, later of Egon Fleischel and Company), she lived most of the time in Berlin and its suburbs (Schöneberg, Zehlendorf). In Germany she is the most popular of the representatives of the Zola school of naturalistic novelists and is particularly able in the powerful description of atmosphere and environment. Her delineation of sensual passion is excellent, when she is at her best, but she often descends to inartistic and careless production, reminding us sometimes of the backstairs novel. Her language is serious and unadorned and her treatment of her materials for the most part matter-of-fact and craftsmanlike. While her subjects are faced boldly and completely, she is sometimes governed more by the desire to produce what the market requires than what an inner urge would
dictate. None of her works has so completely caught the spirit of the times as her novel of Berlin servant life, ‘Das tägliche Brot’ (1901). She has also written dramas, which have met with little success. Other works are ‘Kinder der Eifel’ (1897); ‘Das Weiberdorf’ (1900); ‘Die Wacht am Rhein’ (1902); ‘Des schlafende Heer’ (1904); ‘Einer Mutter Sohn’ (1907); ‘Das Kreuz im Venn’ (1908); ‘Das letzte Glück’ (1909); ‘Die vor den Toren’ (1910); ‘Das Eisen im Feuer’ (1913). Consult ‘Ausgewählte Werke’ (6 vols., Berlin 1911); ‘Burning Love’ is the title of a short story in English translation in ‘German Classics’ (Vol. XIX, New York 1914); also Werner, Richard M., ‘Vollendete und Ringende’ (Minden 1910).
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Vine in Art and Symbolism

Edition of 1920. See also Vitis#Symbolism on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
VINE IN ART AND SYMBOLISM. The grape vine (vitis vinifera) figures frequently as a symbol from far distant times. In the Greek mythology Dionysius (and with the Romans Bacchus) was god of the vintage and, therefore, a grape vine with bunches of the fruit are among their attributes. Their attendants on the Bacchanalian festivals — the Bacchanals — hence had the vine as an attribute, together with the thyrsus, the latter often entwined with vine branches. For the same reason the Greek wine-cup (cantharos) is commonly decorated with the vine and grapes; wine, of course, being drunk as a libation to the god. In Christian iconography the vine also frequently enters. It is several times mentioned in the New Testament. We have the parable of the kingdom of heaven likened to the father starting to engage laborers for his vineyard. The vine is used as symbol of Christ based on his own statement, “I am the vine.” In that sense a vine is placed as sole symbol on the tomb of the sister of Constantine, the Empress Constantia, and elsewhere. In Byzantine art the vine and grapes figure in early mosaics and on the throne of Maximien at Ravenna it is used as a decoration. The vine as symbol of the chosen people is employed several times in the Old Testament. The vine and wheat-ear have been frequently used as symbol of the blood and flesh of Christ, hence figuring as symbols (bread and wine) of the Eucharist and are found depicted on ostensories. Often the symbolic vine laden with grapes is found in ecclesiastical decorations with animals biting at the grapes. At times the vine is used as symbol of temporal blessing. In decorative art, while the vine is not as favored as many other motifs it is frequently found in works of the Middle Ages, and in the Renaissance we find the vine as ornament on friezes, pilasters, etc. Its supple branches, the beauty of the leaf and the artistic formation of the bunch of grapes, all tend to make the plant one whose characteristics we would expect to find more
favor in the modern art world, more especially as the grape bunch is so prolifically used in the decorative arts.
