# Dictionary of National Biography, 1901 supplement/Le Keux, John Henry

​LE KEUX, JOHN HENRY (1812–1896), architectural engraver and draughtsman, son of John Le Keux [q. v.], was born in Argyll Street, Euston Road, London, on 23 March, 1812. After studying under James Basire [see under Basire, Isaac, 1704–1768], he worked for a time as assistant to his father. He engraved the plates for many works of an architectural character, including Ruskin's 'Modern Painters' and 'Stones of Venice,' Weale's 'Studies and Examples of English Architecture' (Travellers' Club), 1839; C. H. Hartshorne's 'Illustrations of Alnwick, Prudhoe, and Warkworth,' 1857; and Parker's 'Mediæval Architecture of Chester,' 1858. The Norwegian government employed him to execute thirty-one large plates of Trondhjem cathedral. Between 1853 and 1865 Le Keux exhibited architectural drawings at the Royal Academy. He contributed papers on mediæval arms and armour to the 'Journal of the Archæological Institute' and similar publications. About 1864 he retired to Durham, where for many years he acted as manager to Messrs. Andrews, a firm of publishers with which his wife was connected. His latest work was the 'Oxford Almanack' for 1870. He died at Durham on 4 Feb. 1896, and was buried in St. Nicholas's Church in that city.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Paint

Edition of 1802.
​PAINT, a term used to express more particularly the preparations employed in painting houses.
The principal article in the various compounds being white-lead, the grinding of which is extremely detrimental to health, we shall state the following process, lately invented by M. A. A. De Vaux, and communicated for the benefit of the public:—should it prove to be an effectual substitute for the pernicious paint now employed, it will be of inestimable service to society. He directs two Paris pints of sweet skimmed-milk (two quarts English measure); six ounces (6 1/2 ounces English averdupois) of fresh slaked lime; four ounces of nut, caraway, or linseed oil, and three pounds of Spanish white, to be used in the composition. The lime must first be introduced into a stone vessel, to which should be added such a proportion of milk as will produce a mixture resembling thin cream. Next, the oil is to be gradually poured in; the whole being gently ​stirred, and the remainder of the milk added. The Spanish white must next be crumbled in, or scattered on the surface of the fluid, which it gradually imbibes, and at length sinks; when the whole should be briskly agitated.
M. De Vaux observes, that the milk ought not to be sour; because, in such case, it would form with the lime a calcareous acetite, winch strongly attracts moisture. Either of the oils above-mentioned may be used; but, if white paint be required, that of caraways is preferable; as it is perfectly transparent.—In order to obtain a distemper or size-colour, the paint thus prepared may be tinged with levigated charcoal, yellow-ochre, &c. for painting with which, the most common oils may be used.
The quantity here prescribed is, farther, stated to be sufficient for the first coat of six toises, or from twenty-four to twenty-seven square English yards: it may be applied in the usual manner; and costs in Paris the sum of nine sols, or 4 1/2d. sterling.
Painting of the Face, is a prostitution of the human countenance, too absurd to be described.—See Cosmetics, and Washing.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Palate

Edition of 1802.
​PALATE, or the organ of taste, consists of that flesh which composes the roof, or the upper and inner part of the mouth. It has a similar structure with the gums, but a greater number of glands, situated in the posterior part near the Uvula (which see), and secreting a mucus that serves to lubricate the mouth and throat, as well as to facilitate deglutition, or the act of swallowing. These glands have a great number of apertures for the discharge of the secreted humour into the mouth: hence it will be understood that, if the stomach, or the glandular system, be in a disordered state, the palate likewise will become corrupted; and, that persons who continually stimulate their appetite with heating drugs, spices, liquors, &c. cannot expect to possess either a natural relish for plain and wholesome food, or a good digestion.—See Mastication.
For the cure of a vitiated palate, we cannot suggest a better remedy than temperance, and occasional abstinence. If, however, the mouth be affected with an unpleasant taste, especially in the morning, it generally originates from a foul or diseased stomach, which ought to be previously restored to its healthy state. As a palliative, or temporary remedy, we recommend frequent gargling and rinsing the whole mouth with infusions of aromatic herbs, or common tea slightly acidulated, or even toast and water; a practice equally conducive to health and cleanliness.—See also Teeth.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Paring of Land

Edition of 1802.
​PARING of Land, an ancient practice in agriculture; but which has, within a few years, been exploded in various parts of Britain. It consists in cutting off old turf at such a thickness as the labourer can conveniently effect; together with the more recent turf, at such a depth as will render it sufficiently dry for burning.—See p. 396-7 of our first volume.
Paring is chiefly practised on breaking up land from a state of nature; though it is with ​advantage employed periodically, on cultivated ground. An instance of this fact occurs in the 24th vol. of Annals of Agriculture, where the industrious Mr. Boys states, that several acres of wheat, barley, oats, and sainfoin, were at that time growing on a soil, which had been repeatedly pared and burnt. He adds, that the crops were of sufficient value to buy the land at mere than forty years purchase, at a rent fairly computed before the improvement. Hence it appears, that such practice, in the hands of judicious farmers, is excellent: and Mr. Middleton observes, in the 12th volume of the same work, that it almost invariably secures a large, first crop of turnips; which (when fed upon land well stored with ashes) are the best preparation for subsequent crops; and that there are very few (if any) cases, in which, with proper management, paring has not perfectly succeeded.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Park

Edition of 1802.
​PARK, a tract of ground inclosed, and privileged for the retention and propagation of animals of chase, either by the King's grant, or by prescription.
In order to constitute a park, it is necessary, 1. That there be a legal grant; 2. That it be inclosed with pales, a wall, or with a hedge; and, 3. That there be beasts of chase, such as bucks, does, &c.; because, if these be destroyed, the privilege becomes void.
The best inclosure for a park is doubtless a brick or stone wall; but, as the erection of either is attended with great expence, the same purpose may be effected by paling; which ought to be made of the soundest heart of oak, and firmly fixed in the ground, to prevent any animal of prey from penetrating. To render it more secure, it will farther be advisable to train a quickset hedge to a considerable height, which should be kept in perfect order: and, if any person be detected in the act of defacing or injuring walls, pales, or other fence belonging to a park, he is liable, by statute, to the same penalty as is inflicted for stealing and killing deer. Such offences, if committed on a private manor, are punishable as felony; but, if in one of the royal parks, they are made capital, without benefit of clergy.

Son of God The plural, "sons of God," is used (Gen. 6:2, 4) to denote the pious descendants of Seth. In Job 1:6; 38:7 this name is applied to the angels. Hosea uses the phrase (1:10) to designate the gracious relation in which men stand to God.
In the New Testament this phrase frequently denotes the relation into which we are brought to God by adoption (Rom. 8:14, 19; 2 Cor. 6:18; Gal. 4:5, 6; Phil. 2:15; 1 John 3:1, 2). It occurs thirty-seven times in the New Testament as the distinctive title of our Saviour. He does not bear this title in consequence of his miraculous birth, nor of his incarnation, his resurrection, and exaltation to the Father's right hand. This is a title of nature and not of office. The sonship of Christ denotes his equality with the Father. To call Christ the Son of God is to assert his true and proper divinity. The second Person of the Trinity, because of his eternal relation to the first Person, is the Son of God. He is the Son of God as to his divine nature, while as to his human nature he is the Son of David (Rom. 1:3, 4. Comp. Gal. 4:4; John 1:1-14; 5:18-25; 10:30-38, which prove that Christ was the Son of God before his incarnation, and that his claim to this title is a claim of equality with God).
When used with reference to creatures, whether men or angels, this word is always in the plural. In the singular it is always used of the second Person of the Trinity, with the single exception of Luke 3:38, where it is used of Adam.

Sosthenes safe in strength, the chief ruler of the synagogue at Corinth, who was seized and beaten by the mob in the presence of Gallio, the Roman governor, when he refused to proceed against Paul at the instigation of the Jews (Acts 18:12-17). The motives of this assault against Sosthenes are not recorded, nor is it mentioned whether it was made by Greeks or Romans. Some identify him, but without sufficient grounds, with one whom Paul calls "Sosthenes our brother," a convert to the faith (1 Cor. 1:1).

Spies When the Israelites reached Kadesh for the first time, and were encamped there, Moses selected twelve spies from among the chiefs of the divisions of the tribes, and sent them forth to spy the land of Canaan (Num. 13), and to bring back to him a report of its actual condition. They at once proceeded on their important errand, and went through the land as far north as the district round Lake Merom. After about six weeks' absence they returned. Their report was very discouraging, and the people were greatly alarmed, and in a rebellious spirit proposed to elect a new leader and return to Egypt. Only two of the spies, Caleb and Joshua, showed themselves on this occasion stout-hearted and faithful. All their appeals and remonstrances were in vain. Moses announced that as a punishment for their rebellion they must now wander in the wilderness till a new generation should arise which would go up and possess the land. The spies had been forty days absent on their expedition, and for each day the Israelites were to be wanderers for a year in the desert. (See [606]ESHCOL.)
Two spies were sent by Joshua "secretly" i.e., unknown to the people (Josh. 2:1), "to view the land and Jericho" after the death of Moses, and just before the tribes under his leadership were about to cross the Jordan. They learned from Rahab (q.v.), in whose house they found a hiding-place, that terror had fallen on all the inhabitants of the land because of the great things they had heard that Jehovah had done for them (Ex. 15:14-16; comp. 23:27; Deut. 2:25; 11:25). As the result of their mission they reported: "Truly Jehovah hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us."

Son of man (1.) Denotes mankind generally, with special reference to their weakness and frailty (Job 25:6; Ps. 8:4; 144:3; 146:3; Isa. 51:12, etc.).
(2.) It is a title frequently given to the prophet Ezekiel , probably to remind him of his human weakness.
(3.) In the New Testament it is used forty-three times as a distinctive title of the Saviour. In the Old Testament it is used only in Ps. 80:17 and Dan. 7:13 with this application. It denotes the true humanity of our Lord. He had a true body (Heb. 2:14; Luke 24:39) and a rational soul. He was perfect man.

Spirit (Heb. ruah; Gr. pneuma), properly wind or breath. In 2 Thess. 2:8 it means "breath," and in Eccl. 8:8 the vital principle in man. It also denotes the rational, immortal soul by which man is distinguished (Acts 7:59; 1 Cor. 5:5; 6:20; 7:34), and the soul in its separate state (Heb. 12:23), and hence also an apparition (Job 4:15; Luke 24:37, 39), an angel (Heb. 1:14), and a demon (Luke 4:36; 10:20). This word is used also metaphorically as denoting a tendency (Zech. 12:10; Luke 13:11).
In Rom. 1:4, 1 Tim. 3:16, 2 Cor. 3:17, 1 Pet. 3:18, it designates the divine nature.

Solomon's Porch (John 10:23; Acts 3:11; 5:12), a colonnade, or cloister probably, on the eastern side of the temple. It is not mentioned in connection with the first temple, but Josephus mentions a porch, so called, in Herod's temple (q.v.).
