# Woman of the Century/Hannah Adams

​ADAMS, Miss Hannah, the first woman in the United States to make a profession of literature was born in Medfield, Mass., in 1755, and died in Brookline, Mass., 15th November, 1832. Her father was a well-to-do farmer of considerable education and culture. Hannah was a delicate child fond of reading and study. In childhood she memorized most of the poetical works of Milton, Pope, Thomson, Young and others. Her studies were varied, including Greek and Latin, in which she was instructed by the divinity students who made their home with her family. In 1772 her father lost his property, and the children were forced to provide for themselves. Hannah supported herself during the Revolutionary War by making lace and by teaching school. After the war she opened a school to prepare young men for college, in which she was very successful. Her principal work, a volume entitled "A View of Religious Opinions," appeared in 1784. The labor necessary for so great a work resulted in a serious illness that threatened her with mental derangement. That book passed through several editions in the United States and was republished in England. It is a work of great research and erudition. When the fourth edition was published, she changed the title to "A Dictionary of Religions." It was long a standard volume. Her second work, "A History of New England," appeared in 1799, and her third, "Evidences of Christianity," in 1801. HANNAH ADAMS. Her income from these successful works was meager, as she did not understand the art of making money so well as she knew the art of making books. Her reputation extended to Europe and won her many friends, among whom was Abbé Grégoire, who was then laboring to secure the emancipation of the Jews in France. With him she corresponded, and from him she received valuable aid in preparing her "History of the Jews," which appeared in 1812. Her next book, "A Controversy with Dr. Morse," appeared in 1814, and her "Letters on the Gospels" in 1826. All her books passed through many editions. Miss Adams was a woman of great modesty and simplicity. Her life was very quiet; her only journey by water was the ten-mile trip from Boston to Nahant and her longest land journey was from Boston to Chelmsford. The closing years of her life she spent in Boston, supported by an annuity settled upon her by three wealthy men of that city.
​She was buried in Mount Auburn, being the first one to be buried in that cemetery. Her autobiography, edited with additions by Mrs. Hannah F. Lee, was published in Boston in 1832.

# Weird Tales/Volume 30/Issue 1/To Howard Phillips Lovecraft

To Howard Phillips Lovecraft
By CLARK ASHTON SMITH
Lover of hills and fields and towns antique, How hast thou wandered hence On ways not found before, Beyond the dawnward spires of Providence? Hast thou gone forth to seek Some older bourn than these— Some Arkham of the prime and central wizardries? Or, with familiar felidæ, Dost now some new and secret wood explore, A little past the senses' farther wall— Where spring and sunset charm the eternal path From Earth to ether in dimensions nemoral? Or has the Silver Key Opened perchance for thee Wonders and dreams and worlds ulterior? Hast thou gone home to Ulthar or to Pnath? Has the high king who reigns in dim Kadath Called back his courtly, sage embassador? Or darkling Cthulhu sent The Sign which makes thee now a councilor Within that foundered fortress of the deep Where the Old Ones stir in sleep, Till mighty temblors shake their slumbering continent? Lo! in this little interim of days, How far thy feet are sped Upon the fabulous and mooted ways Where walk the mythic dead! For us the grief, for us the mystery.... And yet thou art not gone Nor given wholly unto dream and dust: For, even upon This lonely western hill of Averoigne Thy flesh had never visited. I meet some wise and sentient wraith of thee, Some undeparting presence, gracious and august. More luminous for thee the vernal grass, More magically dark the Druid stone And in the mind thou art for ever shown As in a wizard glass; And from the spirit's page thy runes can never pass.

Upon his Drawing for Robert Bloch's Tale, "The Faceless God"
By H. P. LOVECRAFT
In dim abysses pulse the shapes of night, Hungry and hideous, with strange miters crowned; Black pinions beating in fantastic flight From orb to orb through soulless voids profound. None dares to name the cosmos whence they course, Or guess the look on each amorphous face, Or speak the words that with resistless force Would draw them from the halls of outer space.
Yet here upon a page our frightened glance Finds monstrous forms no human eye should see; Hints of those blasphemies whose countenance Spreads death and madness through infinity. What limner he who braves black gulfs alone And lives to wake their alien horrors known?

Mr. Justice FRANKFURTER.
This is another instance where I deem it appropriate to indicate what was before us in a petition for certiorari. See State of Maryland v. Baltimore Radio Show, 338 U.S. 912, 70 S.Ct. 252, 94 L.Ed. 562. One of the questions presented by this petition is the sufficiency of the claim that the verdict was vitiated because publications reflecting adversely on the defendant, before any testimony was taken in the case, precluded a fair and impartial trial. Under the circumstances the Court of Appeals, composed of SWAN, Chief Judge, AUGUSTUS N. HAND and FRANK, Circuit Judges, rejected the claim while acknowledging that 'such comments by newspapers [as revealed by the exhibits herein] during the pendency of a criminal trial are inexcusable.'

# Weird Tales/Volume 2/Issue 3/Weird Snake Dance of Hopis May Be Tabooed

Weird Snake Dance of Hopis May Be Tabooed
THE annual snake dance of the Hopi Indians of Arizona is probably one of the most weird ceremonials, interwoven with traditions and superstitions of the past, that has survived to the present day.
It was observed by these aborigines of the southwest centuries before the advent of the paleface on this continent and has been continued by them in spite of hundreds of years of contact with civilization.
The Hopis were once a great and powerful nation. Today they number approximately a thousand souls, yet this pitifully small remnant of a one-time numerous people has never failed to stage the unique spectacle which annually attracts visitors from all parts of the world.
The dance is said to be a prayer for rain, intended for the great Manitou who supposedly controls the vast heavenly and subterranean reservoirs, beseeching him to release the waters so that springs may flow freely and streams may fill to irrigate the corn lands. Rattlesnakes and other venomous reptiles are carried, wriggling, squirming and hissing, suspended from the mouths of the half-naked dancers. Though many of the participants are bitten during each ceremonial, it is stated that no Hopi ever dies from the effects of the poison.
Authorities have intimated that if the Hopis do not discontinue the dance of their own accord the government may order it stopped, so it is possible that this year’s ceremony may be the last.

# Weird Tales/Volume 2/Issue 3/Sight Without Eyes

October issue
Sight Without Eyes
A FRENCH scientist named Louis Farigoule says that human beings have latent within them the power to see without eyes. This alleged power is termed paroptic vision.
After exhaustive experiments, Farigoule has written a book on the subject in which he states that man has a "paroptic sense" that is capable of communicating to the brain cognizance of the existence of surrounding objects practically identical with the effect of ordinary vision. His claim is that any part of the bodily exterior may be capable of paroptic vision under certain conditions.
Other experimenters who have taken up the work claim to have attained similar results. They state their belief that paroptic vision is a natural faculty and that light is the agent that produces paroptic vision. They also claim that variations in the intensity of light produce the same effects as they do in ordinary vision and that neither touch nor any of the other senses has anything to do with paroptic vision.
When the tests were made, precautions were taken which eliminated all possibility of any use of the eyes, yet the subjects were able to perceive and name objects with absolute precision.

WITH health boards of the State of Virginia exercising the utmost vigilance in an effort to check the spread of the fatal malady know as "devil's grip," which is sweeping Virginia and which has appeared in Delaware and other parts of the country, new cases continued to be reported to the authorities. Chief Health Officer Hudson, of the Richmond health bureau, was appraised of three new cases recently, bringing the total thus far in Richmond alone to forty-eight.
Dr. Hudson said that as the malady had not been made reportable by the city or the state health boards, there are probably some case that have not been brought to the attention of the state health commissioner.
