CLYTIA dissimilis.
CLYTIA dissimilis,
Idea-likeness Butterfly.
Family Papilionidæ. Sub-fam. Papilionæ. Genus Clytia.
Generic Character.
Wings rounded, spotted. Anterior broad, ample, the posterior and the external margins of equal length: posterior slightly undulated at the margin, but destitute of tails. Pupa braced, with the head upwards.
Types. Pap. Clytia, dissimilis. L. Pap. Macarius. Godart. P. Panope Cr.
Specific Character.
Wings black, the interstices of the nerves pale fulvous white, broken into numerous stripes and spots, inferior wings with a marginal row of orange spots, surmounted by pale lunules, on a black border.
Papilio dissimilis Linn. Fab. Ent. Syst. 3. 1. p. 38. Ency. Meth. 1. p. 76. Cramer. Pl. 82. C. D. Rœmer. Gen. Ins. pl. 18. f. 6.
We have never seen specimens of this Butterfly from any other country than China, although it appears that General Hardwicke has met with it in British India, and has communicated a valuable drawing of the larva and pupa to Dr. Horsfield, in whose interesting work it is engraved. To that plate we must refer the entomologist who wishes to understand the previous states of this insect; while its general aspect at once intimates its resemblance or analogy to the Sub-genus Idea F, and consequently points it out as the generic type of that form in the circle of the Papilionæ. According to these views, Clytia is united to Amphrysius, by the sub-genus Epius; (Pap. Epius. Auct.) and at the same time forms the generic passage to the Pieridæ, Sw. For want of a better term, we must call this the Rasorial type, as it corresponds to that Ornithological group.
The aberrant group of the Sub-family Papilionæ appear to be the genera Leilus, Sw. (Uranea Lat.) Antimachus, Sw. and Clytia Sw. the two typical genera being Papilio and Amphrisius, Sw.

# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Ahvaz

See also Ahvaz on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AHVAZ, a town of Persia, in the province of Arabistan, on the left bank of the river Karun, 48 m. S. of Shushter, in 31° 18′ N., 49° E. It has been identified with the Aginis of Nearchus, 500 stadia from Susa, and occupies the site of what was once an extensive and important city. Of this ancient city vast remains are left, extending several miles along the bank of the river. Among the most remarkable are the ruins of a bridge and a citadel, or palace, besides vestiges of canals and watermills, which tell of former commercial activity. There are also the ruins of a band, or stone dam of great strength, which was thrown across the river for the purposes of irrigation. The band was 1150 yds. in length and had a diameter of 24 ft. at its base. Remains of massive structure are still visible, and many single blocks in it measure from 8 to 10 ft. in thickness. Ahvaz reached the height of its prosperity in the 12th and 13th centuries and is now a collection of wretched hovels, with a small rectangular fort in a state of ruin, and an Arab population of about 400. Since the opening of the Karun to foreign commerce in October 1888, another settlement called Benderi Nássiri, in compliment to the Shah Nássir ed din (d. 1896), has been established on a slight elevation overlooking the river at the point below the rapids where steamers come to anchor, about one mile below Ahvaz. It has post and telegraph offices; and agencies of some mercantile firms, a British vice-consul (since 1904) and a Russian consular agent (since 1902) are established there. The new caravan road to Isfahan, opened for traffic in 1900, promised, if successful, to give Ahvaz greater commercial importance.

​AIBONITO, an inland town of the electoral district of Guayama, Porto Rico, on the highway between San Juan and Ponce, 25 m. E.N.E. of the latter. It is the capital of a municipal district of the same name. Pop. (1899) of the town, 2085; of the district, 8596. The town is about 2200 ft. above sea level, and owing to its cool climate and freedom from malaria it has been chosen as an acclimatizing station and sanatorium for foreigners. It is surrounded by coffee plantations, and tobacco of excellent quality is raised in the vicinity. The town was considerably damaged by the great hurricane of the 8th of August 1899.

​AHRWEILER, a town of Germany, in the Prussian Rhine province, on the river Ahr and the Remagen-Adenau line of railway. Pop. 5000. It is a town of medieval aspect and is surrounded by ancient walls, with battlements and four gates in good repair. There is a Gothic church (dating from 1245). A convent school of the Ursuline nuns is a prominent feature on a hill to the south. The trade is almost exclusively confined to the manufacture and export of the wines of the district.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Aickin, Francis

See also Francis Aickin on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AICKIN, FRANCIS (d. 1805), Irish actor, first appeared in London in 1765 as Dick Amlet in Vanbrugh’s The Confederacy at Drury Lane. He acted there, and at Covent Garden, until 1792. His repertory consisted of over eighty characters, and among his best parts were the Ghost in Hamlet and Jaques in As You Like It. His success in impassioned declamatory rôles obtained for him the nickname of “Tyrant.”
His younger brother James Aickin (d. 1803) was playing leading parts in both comedy and tragedy at the Edinburgh theatre, when he gave offence to his public by his protest against the discharge of a fellow-actor. He therefore went to London, and ​and from 1767 to 1800 was a member of the Drury Lane Company and for some years a deputy manager. He quarrelled with John Philip Kemble, with whom, in 1792, he fought a bloodless duel.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Aidan (bishop)

See also Aidan of Lindisfarne on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AIDAN, or Ædan, first bishop of Lindisfarne, a monk of Hii (Iona), was sent by the abbot Senegi to Northumbria, at the request of King Oswald, A.D. 634–635. He restored Christianity, and in accordance with the traditions of Irish episcopacy chose the island of Lindisfarne, close to the royal city of Bamborough, as his see. Although he retained the Irish Easter, his character and energy in missionary work won him the respect of Honorius and Felix. He survived Oswald, and died shortly after the murder of his friend Oswine of Deira, on the 31st of August 651, in the 17th year of his episcopate.

​AHT, a confederacy of twenty-two tribes of North American Indians of the Wakashan stock. They are settled on the west coast of Vancouver, British Columbia. The chief tribes included are the Nitinaht, Tlaasaht or Makah, Tlaokiwaht or Clahoquaht, Ahansaht and Ehatishaht. The confederacy numbers some 3500.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Ai

See also Ai (Canaan) on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AI [Sept. Ἁγγαḯ, Ἀγγαΐ and Γαΐ; Vulg. Hai], a small royal city of the Canaanites, E. of Bethel. The meaning of the name may be “the stone heap”; but it is not necessarily a Hebrew word. Abraham pitched his tent between Ai and Bethel (Gen. xii. 8, xiii. 3); but it is chiefly noted for its capture and destruction by Joshua (vii. 2-5, viii. 1-29), who made it a heap for ever, even a desolation.” It is mentioned by Isaiah (x. 28), and also after the captivity (Ezra ii. 28; Neh. vii. 32), but then probably was not more than a village. In the later Hebrew writings the name sometimes has a feminine form, Aiath (Is. x. 28), Aija (Neh. xi. 31). The definite article is usually prefixed to the name in Hebrew. The site was known, and some scanty ruins still existed, in the time of Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast, s.v. Ἀγγαί). Dr E. Robinson was unable to discover any certain traces of either name or ruins. He remarks, however (Bib. Researches, ed. 1856, i. p. 443), that it must have been close to Bethel on account of Biblical narrative (Josh. viii. 17). A little to the south of a village called Deir Diwân, and one hour’s journey south-east from Bethel, is the site of an ancient place called Khirbet Haiyân, indicated by reservoirs hewn in the rock, excavated tombs and foundations of hewn stone. This may possibly be the site of Ai; it agrees with all the intimations as to its position. It has also been identified with a mound now called et-Tell (“the heap”), but though the name of a neighbouring village, Turmus Aya, is suggestive, it is in the wrong direction from Bethel. In this view recent authorities, such as G. A. Smith, generally coincide.
See Palestine Exploration Fund Quarterly Statement, 1869, p: 123; 1874, p. 62; 1878, pp. 10, 132, 194; 1881, p. 254. (R. A. S. M.)
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Aicard, Jean François Victor

See also Jean Aicard on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AICARD, JEAN FRANÇOIS VICTOR (1848–), French poet and dramatist, was born at Toulon on the 4th of February 1848. His father, Jean Aicard, was a journalist of some distinction, and the son early began his career in 1867 with Les Jeunes Croyances, followed in 1870 by a one-act play produced at the Marseilles theatre; His poems include: Les Rébellions et les apaisements (1871); Poèmes de Provence (1874), and La Chanson de l’enfant (1876), both of which were crowned by the Academy; Miette et Noré (1880), a Provençal idyll; Le Livre d’heures de l’amour (1887); Jésus (1896), &c. Of his plays the most successful was Le Père Lebonnard (1890), which was originally produced at the Théâtre Libre. Among his other works are the novels, Le Roi de Camargue (1890), L’Âme d’un enfant (1898) and Tatas (1901), Benjamine (1906) and La Vénus de Milo (1874), an account of the discovery of the statue from unpublished documents.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Aichinger, Gregor

See also Gregor Aichinger on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AICHINGER, GREGOR (c. 1565–1628), one of the greatest German composers of the Golden Age. He was organist to the Fugger family of Augsburg in 1584. In 1599 he went for a two years’ visit to Rome. This was for musical and not for ecclesiastical reasons, though he had taken orders before his appointment under Fugger. Proske, in the preface to vol. ii. of his Musica Divina, calls him a priest of Regensburg, and is inclined to give him the palm for the devout and ingenuous mastery of his style. Certainly this impression is fully borne out by the beautiful and somewhat quaint works included in that great anthology.
# 112 Days' Hard Labour/Press

​Westminster Gazette, Nov. 14th, 1916:—
Hubert William Peet, thirty, describing himself as a Quaker, Socialist, and journalist, was to-day handed over to military custody by the Croydon magistrates. He is organising secretary of the Friends’ Service Committee, and joint editor of the “Ploughshare” publication of the Society of Friends. He had refused non-combatant service.
Addressing the Court, Mr. Peet said: “I am a Quaker and a Socialist and I believe that the teaching of Jesus means that I must confront violence with gentleness, anger with reason, hatred with good. Though I may be technically a soldier I cannot be one actually and morally, and therefore I cannot recognise any military order.”
Morning Post, Nov. 24th, 1916:—
At Hounslow Barracks yesterday Hubert W. Peet was Court-martialled for refusing to obey an order to parade. He declined to plead, declaring that though he might be technically a soldier, he was not one in reality and could not be made one against his will. He must disobey all military orders because of his conviction that all warfare, and not merely killing, was wrong. The Court’s decision will be promulgated in due course.
Morning Post, Nov. 29th, 1916:—
H. W. Peet has been sentenced to 112 days’ hard labour for refusing to obey the commands of his superior officer.
Manchester Guardian, Feb. 26th, 1917:—
Having completed his sentence of 112 days’ hard labour for refusing to obey military orders, Hubert W. Peet was released from Wandsworth Prison on Saturday and returned to his unit at Hounslow. He will be Court-martialled for the second time in the course of a few days.
Times, March 15th, 1917:—
Hubert W. Peet was sentenced by Court-martial at Hounslow Barracks yesterday to two years’ hard labour for refusal to obey military orders. He had already served 112 days for a previous offence.

# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Amphion and Zethus

See also Amphion and Zethus on Wikipedia; Amphion in the 9th Edition; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AMPHION and ZETHUS, in ancient Greek mythology, the twin sons of Zeus by Antiope. When children, they were exposed on Mount Cithaeron, but were found and brought up by a shepherd. Amphion became a great singer and musician, Zethus a hunter and herdsman (Apollodorus iii. 5). After punishing Lycus and Dirce for cruel treatment of Antiope (q.v.), they built and fortified Thebes, huge blocks of stone forming themselves into walls at the sound of Amphion’s lyre (Horace, Odes, iii. 11). Amphion married Niobe, and killed himself after the loss of his wife and children (Ovid, Metam. vi. 270). The brothers were buried in one grave and worshipped as the Dioscuri “with white horses” (Eurip. Phoen. 609).
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Amphipolis

See also Amphipolis on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AMPHIPOLIS (mod. Yeni Keui), an ancient city of Macedonia, on the east bank of the river Strymon, where it emerges from Lake Cercinitis, about 3 m. from the sea. Originally a Thracian town, known as Ἐννέα Ὁδοί (“Nine Roads”), it was colonized by Athenians with other Greeks under Hagnon in 437 B.C., previous attempts—in 497, 476 (Schol. Aesch. De fals. leg. 31) and 465—having been unsuccessful. In 424 B.C. it surrendered to the Spartan Brasidas without resistance, owing to the gross negligence of the historian Thucydides, who was with the fleet at Thasos. In 422 B.C. Cleon led an unsuccessful expedition to recover it, in which both he and Brasidas were slain. The importance of Amphipolis in ancient times was due to the fact that it commanded the bridge over the Strymon, and consequently the route from northern Greece to the Hellespont; it was important also as a depot for the gold and silver mines of the district, and for timber, which was largely used in shipbuilding. This importance is shown by the fact that, in the peace of Nicias (421 B.C., its restoration to Athens is made the subject of a special provision, and that about 417, this provision not having been observed, at least one expedition was made by Nicias with a view to its recovery. Philip of Macedon made a special point of occupying it (357), and under the early empire it became the headquarters of the Roman propraetor, though it was recognized as independent. Many inscriptions, coins, &c., have been found here, and traces of the ancient fortifications and of a Roman aqueduct are visible.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Amphiaraus

See also Amphiaraus on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AMPHIARAUS, in Greek mythology, a celebrated seer and prince of Argos, son of Oïcles (or Apollo) and Hypermestra, and through his father descended from the prophet Melampus (Odyssey, xv. 244). He took part in the voyage of the Argonauts and in the chase of the Calydonian boar; but his chief fame is in connexion with the expedition of the Seven against Thebes, organized by Adrastus, the brother of his wife Eriphyle, for the purpose of restoring Polyneices to the throne. Amphiaraus, foreseeing the disastrous issue of the war, at first refused to share in it; he had, however, promised Eriphyle when he married her that, in the event of any dispute arising between her brother and ​himself, she should decide between them; and now Eriphyle, bribed by Polyneices with the fatal necklace given by Cadmus to Harmonia, persuaded him against his better judgment to set out on the expedition. Knowing his doom, he bade his sons, Alcmaeon and Amphilochus, avenge his death upon their mother, upon whom, as he stepped into his chariot, he turned a look of anger. This scene was represented upon the chest of Cypselus described by Pausanias (v. 17).
The assault on Thebes was disastrous for the Seven; and Amphiaraus, pursued by Periclymenus, would have been slain with his spear, had not Zeus with a thunderbolt opened a chasm into which the seer, with his chariot, horses and charioteer, disappeared. Henceforth he was numbered with the immortals and worshipped as a god. Near Oropus, on the supposed site of his passing, his sanctuary arose, with healing springs, and an oracle famous for its interpretation of dreams (Pausanias i. 34). The ruins of this temple, with inscriptions which identify it, have been discovered and preserved at Mavrodilisi, in the provinces of Boeotia and Attica. There was another temple dedicated to him on the road from Thebes to Potniae, and here was the oracle of Amphiaraus consulted by Croesus and Mardonius.
Homer, Odyssey, xi. 326; Herodotus viii. 134; Pindar, Olympia, vi., Nemea, ix.; Apollodorus iii. 6.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Amphilochus

See also Amphilochus (brother of Alcmaeon) on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AMPHILOCHUS, in Greek legend, a famous seer, son of Amphiaraus and Eriphyle and brother of Alcmaeon. According to some he assisted in the murder of Eriphyle, which, according to others, was carried out by Alcmaeon alone (Apollodorus iii. 6, 7). He took part in the expedition of the Epigoni against Thebes and in the Trojan War. After the fall of Troy he founded, in conjunction with Mopsus, another famous seer, the oracle of Mallos in Cilicia. The two seers afterwards fought for its possession, and both were slain in the combat. Amphilochus is also said to have been killed by Apollo (Strabo xiv. 675, 676). According to another story, he returned to Argos from Troy, but, being dissatisfied with the condition of things there, left it for Acarnania, where he founded Amphilochian Argos on the Ambracian gulf. He was worshipped at Oropus, Athens and Sparta.

# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Amphibology

See also Syntactic ambiguity on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​AMPHIBOLOGY, or Amphiboly (Gr. ἀμφιβολία), in logic, a verbal fallacy arising from ambiguity in the grammatical structure of a sentence (Aristot., Organon, Soph., El., chap. iv.). ​It occurs frequently in poetry, owing to the alteration for metrical reasons of the natural order of words; Jevons quotes as an example Shakespeare, Henry VI.: “The duke yet lives that Henry shall depose.”
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Boydell, John

See also John Boydell on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​BOYDELL, JOHN (1719–1804), English alderman and publisher, was born at Dorrington, and at the age of twenty-one came to London and was apprenticed for seven years to an engraver. In 1746 he published a volume of views in England and Wales, and started in business as a print-seller. By his good taste and liberality he managed to secure the services of the best artists, and his engravings were executed with such skill that his business became extensive and lucrative. He succeeded in his plan of a Shakespeare gallery, and obtained the assistance of the most eminent painters of the day, whose contributions were exhibited publicly for many years. The engravings from these paintings form a splendid companion volume to his large illustrated edition of Shakespeare’s works. Towards the close of his life Boydell sustained severe losses through the French Revolution, and was compelled to dispose of his Shakespeare gallery by lottery. Boydell had previously become an alderman, and rose to be lord mayor of London.
