# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 12/From Jonathan Swift to John Carteret - 5

TO HIS EXCELLENCY LORD CARTERET,
LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND.
I HAVE been so long afflicted with a deafness, and at present with a giddiness in my head (both old distempers) that I have not been able to attend your excellency and my lady Carteret, as my inclination and duty oblige me; and I am now hasting into the country, to try what exercise and better air will do toward my recovery. Not knowing how long I may be absent, or how soon you may think fit to leave this kingdom, I take this occasion of returning your excellency, and my lady Carteret, my most humble acknowledgments for your great civilities toward me, which I wish it were in my power to deserve.
​I have only one humble request to make to your excellency, which I had in my heart ever since you were nominated lord lieutenant; and it is in favour of Mr. Sheridan. I beg you will take your time for bestowing on him some church living, to the value of a hundred and fifty pounds per annum. He is agreed on all hands to have done more publick service, by many degrees, in the education of lads, than any five of his vocation; and has much more learning than usually falls to the share of those who profess teachings being perfectly skilled in the Greek as well as Latin tongue, and acquainted with all the ancient writers, in poetry, philosophy, and history. He is a man of good sense, modesty, and virtue. His greatest fault is a wife and four children; for which there is no excuse, but that a wife is thought necessary to a schoolmaster. His constitution is so weak, that, in a few years, he must give up his business; and probably must starve, without some preferment, for which he is an ill solicitor. My lord bishop of Elphin has promised to recommend this request to your excellency. And I hope you will please to believe that it proceeds wholly from justice and humanity, for he is neither a dependant nor relation of mine.
I humbly take my leave; and remain, with the utmost respect,
My lord, &c.

I HAVE done one braver thing Than all the Worthies did; And yet a braver thence doth spring, Which is, to keep that hid.
It were but madness now to impart The skill of specular stone, When he, which can have learn'd the art To cut it, can find none.
So, if I now should utter this, Others—because no more Such stuff to work upon, there is— Would love but as before.
But he who loveliness within Hath found, all outward loathes, For he who color loves, and skin, Loves but their oldest clothes.
If, as I have, you also do Virtue in woman see, And dare love that, and say so too, And forget the He and She;
And if this love, though placèd so, From profane men you hide, Which will no faith on this bestow, Or, if they do, deride;
Then you have done a braver thing Than all the Worthies did; And a braver thence will spring, Which is, to keep that hid.

# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 18/Letter from Jonathan Swift to William St. Lawrence - 1

TO LORD HOWTH.
THE bearer, Mr. Faulkner, came to me just an hour before he was taking a journey to Kilkenny and Cashel, and desired I would write by him to your lordship and the archbishop, only to let your lordship know, that he is an honest man, and the chief printer; and that I know him, and treat him with indulgence, because I cannot help it. For, although he printed what I never would have done, yet he got the consent of my friends, and so I shall get nothing by being angry with him. He hopes, as a citizen, to be admitted to your lords and ladies in the country, and I am contented you shall make him welcome; but take care you put no manuscripts in his hands; otherwise, perhaps there will be the works of the right hon. &c., and of my lady and ​ the giant, neatly bound next winter. My lady Acheson has not been well since she left the town; but her mother is almost perfectly cured, except the loss of her eye. I owe my lady Howth a letter, I believe. I desire my most humble service to her and the giant. I have time to say no more, but that I am,
Your lordship's most obedient servant,
J. SWIFT.
* ↑ William St. Lawrence, baron of Howth, died April 4, 1748, aged 60. His son, Thomas, was created earl of Howth and viscount St. Lawrence, Aug. 15, 1767.
* ↑ A very tall young lady, nearly related to lord Howth.
* ↑ Lucy, youngest daughter of lieutenant general Richard Gorges, was married to lord Howth, Aug. 2, 1728: and after that nobleman's death became the lady of Nicholas Weldon of Gravelment, esq.
# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 18/Letter from Jonathan Swift to William Draper - 1

TO THE REV. MR. WILLIAM DRAPER,
DEAN, NEAR BASINGSTOKE, HAMPSHIRE.
I AM ashamed to tell you how ill a philosopher I am, and that a very ill situation of my affairs for three weeks past, made me utterly incapable of answering your obliging letter, and thanking you for your most agreable copy of verses. The prints will tell you that I am condemned again to live in Ireland; and all that the court and ministry did for me was to let me choose my situation in the country where I am banished. I could not forbear showing both your letter and verses to our great men, as well as to the men of wit of my acquaintance; and they were highly approved by all. I am altogether a stranger to your friend Appian; and am a little angry when those who have a genius lay it out in translations. I question whether 'Res angusta domi' be not one of your motives. Perhaps you want such a bridle as a translation, for your genius is too fruitful, as appears by the frequency of your similes; and this employment may teach you to write like a modest man, as Shakspeare expresses it.
I have been minding my lord Bolingbroke, Mr. Harcourt, and sir William Windham, to solicit my ​ lord chancellor to give you a living, as a business which belongs to our society, who assume the title of rewarders of merit. They are all very well disposed, and I shall not fail to negotiate for you while I stay in England, which will not be above six weeks; but I hope to return in October, and if you are not then provided for, I will move Heaven and earth that something may be done for you. Our Society has not met of late, else I would have moved to have two of us sent in form to request a living for you from my lord chancellor; and, if you have any way to employ my services, I desire you will let me know it, and believe me to be very sincerely,
Sir, Your most faithful, humble servant, J. SWIFT.
# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 18/Letter from Jonathan Swift to the Society of the Governor and Assistants for the new Plantation in Ulster

To the Honourable the Society of the Governor and Assistants, London, for the New Plantation in Ulster, within the Realm of Ireland, at the Chamber in Guildhall, London.
April 19, 1739.
WORTHY GENTLEMEN,
I HEARTILY recommend to your very worshipful society, the reverend Mr. William Dunkin, for the living of Colrane, vacant by the death of Dr. Squire. Mr. Dunkin is a gentleman of great learning and wit, true religion, and excellent morals. It is only for these qualifications that I recommend him to your patronage; and I am confident that you will never repent the choice of such a man, who will be ready at any time to obey your commands. You have my best wishes, and all my endeavours for your prosperity: and I shall, during my life, continue to be, with the truest respect and highest esteem,
Worthy sirs,
Your most obedient and
most humble servant,
JONATH. SWIFT.

TO WILLIAM RICHARDSON, ESQ.
IT was not my want of friendship and esteem that hindered me from answering your several letters, but merely my disorders in point of health; for I am constantly giddy, and so deaf, that your friend Mrs. Whiteway is almost got into a consumption by bawling in my ears. I heartily congratulate with you on your triumph over your Irish enemies by a nemine contradicente. I leave the rest of this paper to be filled by Mrs. Whiteway; and am, with true esteem and gratitude, your most obedient and obliged servant,
J. SWIFT.

FROM DR. CLANCY.
WHEN I strive to express the thorough sense I have of your humanity and goodness, my attempt ceases in admiration of them. You have favoured my performance with some degree of approbation, and you have considered my unfortunate condition by a mark of your known benevolence: from my very soul I sincerely thank you. That approbation, which in some more happy periods of my life would have made me proud even to vanity, has now in my distress comforted and soothed my misery.
If I did not fear being troublesome, I should do myself the honour of waiting upon you, if you will be pleased to permit me to do so. At anytime I am ready to obey your command; and am, with the utmost respect and gratitude, sir, your most obliged humble servant,
MIC. CLANCY.
# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 13/From Robert Throp to Jonathan Swift - 1

FROM THE REV. MR. THROP.
THE many professions of kindness you have made, and friendship you have shown, to my mother and ​her family, particularly in declaring your abhorrence and detestation of the cruel and inhuman behaviour of that monster —— to my unfortunate and innocent brother, induced my mother to trouble you with a few of the narratives of that case, to disperse among such members of the house of commons as were of your acquaintance. The reason of our troubling you to do this, is because we intend presenting a petition to the members of the house of commons this session, to oblige —— to wave his privilege, every other attempt we have tried since my brother's death proving fruitless.
Your appearing, sir, in this affair, will not only make —— the more ready to do justice, but prevent others from supporting him in his villanies, which will be of infinite service to my mother and her family.
The bearer carries you a dozen of cases; and if you should have occasion for any more, they shall be sent you by, reverend sir, your most obliged and obedient humble servant,
ROBERT THROP.

FROM THE ARCHBISHOP OF CASHELL.
I SUPPOSE by this time you have been informed, that Mr. Dunkin was ordained here last Thursday, and that your recommendations got the better of my prejudices to his unhappy genius; which, I hope will in some degree convince you, that your power over me is not yet quite worn out.
​It is one of the greatest evils that attends those whom fortune has forsaken, that their friends forsake them too: and let me tell you, that your not seeing me the whole winter I was last in Dublin, was not a less mortification to me, than all the hard sayings of the great parliament orators. However, I must own your taking any occasion to write to me at all, has made some amends; for though you seem designedly to cover it, I think I perceive some little marks of that former kindness, which I once pleased myself to have had a share in with your lawyer friends. When I conversed with politicians, I learned, that it was not prudent to seem fond of what one most desires: for which reason, I would not tell you, that if this accident of your poetical friend should open a way to our frequent meeting together again, and being put upon the old foot, as when I was your subject at St. Patrick's, I should think myself the happiest man in the world; but this I will say, that if it falls out so, this last heavy period of my life will be much more tolerable than it is at present.
I am now wholly employed in digging up rocks, and making the way easier to my church; which if I can succeed in, I design to repair a very venerable old fabrick, that was built here in the time of our ignorant (as we are pleased to call them) ancestors. I wish this age had a little of their piety, though we gave up, instead of it, some of our immense erudition. What if you spent a fortnight here this ​summer? I have laid aside all my country politicks, sheriffs elections, feasts, &c. And I fancy, it would not be disagreeable to you, to see king Cormack's chapel, his bedchamber, &c. all built, beyond controversy, above eight hundred years ago, when he was king, as well as archbishop. I really intend to lay out a thousand pounds to preserve this old church; and I am sure, you would be of service to posterity, if you assisted me in the doing of it; at least, if you approved the design, you would give the greatest pleasure, I assure you, to your most affectionate and faithful humble servant,
THEO. CASHELL.
* ↑ Dr. Theophilus Bolton.
* ↑ The reverend Mr. Dunkin, the author of several poetical pieces that have been well received.
* ↑ Dr. Bolton was rector of St. Werburgh's, and chancellor of the cathedral of St. Patrick's. He was made bishop of Clonfert, Sept. 12, 1722; translated to Elphin, April 16, 1724; and to Cashell, Jan. 6, 1729. He died in 1744.
# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 13/From Samuel Masham and Abigail Masham to Jonathan Swift - 1

FROM LORD MASHAM.
I HOPE you will excuse me that I have not answered your letter sooner; but I shall not be backward in obeying your commands, by attending the cause you mention, when it comes into the house. I shall not fail speaking to those few lords I can be so free with, to attend also; and shall rejoice if it should be determined to your satisfaction: and I have good reason to believe it will, being fully convinced, that you can interest yourself in nothing but where justice is uppermost. We have long flattered ourselves with the hopes of having your good company here. ​I am sure there is no family in this kingdom wishes to see you more than that of the Mashams, who will always have you in remembrance, for your health and welfare. I doubt not but you hear from better hands the state of our affairs, in relation to the excising tobacco and wine, therefore shall not trouble you upon that subject; and shall only desire your farther commands wherein I am capable to serve you; assuring you, that I am, with great esteem and faith, sir, your most faithful and humble servant,
MASHAM.
POSTSCRIPT BY LADY MASHAM.
SIR,
There are few things in life would give me more joy than to see you again in this part of the world. Let your friends have that pleasure; for, in doing it you will oblige a vast number of people; but nobody more, my dear Mr. dean, than your affectionate humble servant,
A. MASHAM.
# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 13/From Robert Arbuthnot to Jonathan Swift - 1

FROM MR. ROBERT ARBUTHNOT.
I HAVE flattered myself these many years, that vapours or company would have brought you over seas to Spa, or to some such place, and that you would have taken Paris in your way; and so I should have had the pleasure of seeing you in some place of my own, I wonder much that a person of so much good humour can let yourself grow old, or die without seeing some other country than your own. I am not quite so wicked as to wish you any real illness to bring you to us, though I should not be sorry that you thought you had need of change of air. I wish you a happy new year, and many more; and (whatever interest I have against it) good health, and prosperity, and every thing that I can wish to one that I much honour and esteem.
​I recommended to your friendship and acquaintance the bearer, Mr. de la Mar. His brother, now dead, has been with you in Ireland: and this gentleman deserves from me all the kindness my friends can show him. Adieu, dear sir, If I can serve you in any thing, command me always, for I am, with great esteem, your most humble and most obedient servant,
ROB. ARBUTHNOT.

FROM THE DUKE OF WHARTON.
I SHALL embark for England to morrow. It would be necessary for me to take leave of lord ​Molesworth on many accounts; and as Young is engaged in town, I must infallibly go alone, unless your chanty extends itself to favour me with your company there this morning.
I beg you would send me your answer, and believe me
Sincerely your faithful friend and servant,
WHARTON.
# The World's Most Famous Court Trial

THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS
COURT TRIAL
TENNESSEE EVOLUTION
CASE
A COMPLETE STENOGRAPHIC REPORT OF THE FAMOUS COURT TEST OF THE TENNESSEE ANTI-EVOLUTION ACT, AT DAYTON, JULY 10 TO 21, 1925, INCLUDING SPEECHES AND ARGUMENTS OF ATTORNEYS.
NATIONAL BOOK COMPANY CINCINNATI
Copyright, 1925 NATIONAL BOOK COMPANY Cincinnati, Ohio
PUBLISHER’S NOTE
In presenting the material of this book we are moved by the great interest shown throughout the world in this most notable case.
It is unlike any other case ever tried, and we believe has an interest that will hold long after the individuals involved shall have passed away.
While some of the headings and sub-heads are ours, we have made no attempt at editing. We simply present the case from the court record as it was made from day to day.
In publishing this book we are indebted to many interested friends and especially to the Chattanooga Times for the use of their transcript copy.
We trust this work may find a hearty welcome from those who desire to know just what occurred at Dayton.
NATIONAL BOOK COMPANY.
* * * “Dayton is the center and the seat of this trial largely by circumstance. We are told that more words have been sent across the ocean by cable to Europe and Australia about this trial than has ever been sent by cable in regard to anything else happening in the United States. That isn’t because the trial is held in Dayton. It isn’t because a school-teacher has been subjected to the danger of a fine from $100 to $500, but I think illustrates how people can be drawn into prominence by attaching themselves to a great cause. Causes stir the world, and this cause has stirred the world. It is because it goes deep. It is because it extends wide, and because it reaches into the future beyond the power of man to see. Here has been fought out a little case of little consequence as a case, but the world is interested because it raises an issue, and that issue will some day be settled right, whether it is settled on our side or the other side.”—W. J. Bryan, in his last court speech, see page 316.

# The Way

From Scribner's Magazine, Oct 1915
THE WAY
By Alice Duer Miller
There is a magic pathway through the wood,
There is a current in the troubled stream,
A happy course to steer, if one but could,
A meaning to the dream.
And some in love and some in dogma find
The hint eternal as they kiss or pray;
Some through the crystal circle of the mind
Discern the way.
And some no hint, no pattern of the whole,
Nor star, nor path, nor channel can perceive—
Attempt no answer to the questing soul
And yet believe
There is a magic pathway through the wood
A quiet current in the troubled stream,
A happy course to steer, if one but could,
A meaning to the dream.

# The Way Through the Woods

From Rewards and Fairies (1910), where it accompanies the story Marklake Witches.
They shut the road through the woods Seventy years ago. Weather and rain have undone it again, And now you would never know There was once a road through the woods Before they planted the trees. It is underneath the coppice and heath, And the thin anemones. Only the keeper sees That, where the ring-dove broods, And the badgers roll at ease, There was once a road through the woods.
Yet, if you enter the woods Of a summer evening late, When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed pools Where the otter whistles his mate. (They fear not men in the woods, Because they see so few) You will hear the beat of a horse's feet, And the swish of a skirt in the dew, Steadily cantering through The misty solitudes, As though they perfectly knew The old lost road through the woods... But there is no road through the woods.
