# The Female Prose Writers of America/Emma C. Embury

EMMA C. EMBURY.
Mrs. Embury is a native of New York, and a daughter of an eminent physician of that city, James R. Manly, M. D. She was married on the 28th of May, 1828, to Mr. Daniel Embury, of Brooklyn, where she has since resided.
Mrs. Embury has written much, both in prose and verse, and with equal success in both kinds of writing. Her earlier effusions were published under the signature of “Ianthe.” A volume of them was collected under the title of “Guido, and other Poems.” Her tales, like her poems, have all been published originally in magazines and other periodicals. Were these all collected, they would fill many volumes. The only volumes formed in this way, thus far, have been, “Blind Girl, and other Tales,” “Glimpses of Home Life”; and “Pictures of Early Life.” In 1845 she edited a very elegant gift book, called “Nature’s Gems, or American Wild Flowers,” with numerous coloured plates, and articles, both in prose and verse, by herself. In 1846, she published another collection of poems, called “Love’s Token Flowers.” In 1848, “The Waldorf Family” appeared. It is a fairy tale of Brittany, adapted to the meridian of the United States and the present age of the world, being partly a translation and partly original.
If Mrs. Embury never rises so high as some of our female writers some times do, no one, on the other hand, who has written so much, approaches her in the ability of writing uniformly well. She seems to have the faculty of never being dull. There is, too, a certain gentle amenity of thought and diction that never forsakes her, taking from the edge of what might otherwise be harsh, and giving a charm to what might be common place. If her stories are not deeply tragical or thrilling, they are always beautiful, they always please, they always leave the mind instructed and the heart better.
# The Female Prose Writers of America/Emily C. Judson/My First Grief

published in The Female Prose Writers of America
​I laughed and crowed above this water, when I was a baby, and, therefore, I love it. I played beside it, when the days were years of summer-time, and the summers were young eternities of brightness, and, therefore, I love it. It was the scene of my first grief, too. Shall I tell you? There is not much to tell, but I have a notion that there are people above us, up in the air, and behind the clouds, that consider little girls doings about as important as those of men and women. The birds and the angels are great levellers.
It was a dry season; the brook was low, and a gay trout in a coat of golden brown, dotted over with crimson, and a silver pinafore, lay, weather-bound, on the half-dry stones, all heated and panting, with about a tea-spoonful of lukewarm water, turning lazily from its head, and creeping down its back at too slow a pace to afford the sufferer hope of emancipation. My sympathies—little girls, you must know, are made up of love and sympathy, and such like follies, which afterwards contract into—n’importe! I was saying, my sympathies were aroused; and, quite forgetting that water would take the gloss from my new red morocco shoes, I ​picked my way along, and laying hold of my fine gentleman in limbo, succeeded in burying him, wet face and all, in the folds of my white apron! But such an uneasy prisoner! More than one frightened toss did he get into the grass, and then I had an infinite deal of trouble to secure him again. His gratitude was very like that of humans’, when you do them unasked service.
When I had reached a cool, shaded, deep spot, far adown, where the spotted alders lean, like so many self-enamoured narcissuses, over the ripple-faced mirror, I dropped my apron, and let go my prize. Ah! he was grateful then! He must have been! How he dived, and sprang to the surface, and spread out his little wings of dark-ribbed gossamer, and frisked about, keeping all the time a cool, thin sheet of silver between his back and the sun-sick air! I loved that pretty fish, for I had been kind to it; and I thought it would love me, too, and stay there, and be a play-fellow for me; so I went every day and watched for it, and watched until my little eyes ached; but I never saw it again. That was my first grief: what is there in years to make a heart ache heavier? That first will be longer remembered than the last. I dare say.

BERGAMOT, a shrub or small tree, Citrus bergamia (family Rutaceæ) . The plant is largely cultivated in southern. Europe, especially Italy, for its green, bitter volatile oil, known as oil or essence of bereamot, which is expressed or distilled from its highly aromatic rind for use in perfumery. The name is also applied, mainly in Europe, to many varieties of pears and in both Europe and America to several species of the family Menthaceæ; for example, Mentha aquatica (Europe), Monarda didyma and M. fistulosa (America). The name seems to be a corruption of the Turkish beg armūdi, a lord's pear.

BERGERAC, Savinien Cyrano de, French author: b. 1619; d. 1655. He was distinguished for his courage in the field, and for the number of his duels, more than a thousand, most of them fought on account of his monstrously large nose. His writings, which are often crude, but full of invention, vigor and wit, include a tragedy, ‘Agrippine,’ which was regarded at the time as the vehicle of atheistic teaching; and a comedy, ‘The Pedant Tricked,’ from which Corneille and Molière have freely borrowed ideas; and his ‘Comical History of the States and Empires of the Sun and the Moon’ probably suggested ‘Micromégas’ to Voltaire, and ‘Gulliver’ to Swift. His works have been frequently republished. He was made the hero of a drama bearing his name, written by Edmond Rostand, the French playwright, which had a phenomenal success in the United States in 1899-1900, and was the occasion of a suit for plagiarism.

# The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck/Preface

PREFACE.
The story of Perkin Warbeck was first suggested to me as a subject for historical detail. On studying it, I became aware of the romance which his story contains, while, at the same time, I felt that it would be impossible for any narration, that should be confined to the incorporation of facts related by our old Chroniclers, to do it justice.
It is not singular that I should entertain a belief that Perkin was, in reality, the lost duke of York. For, in spite of Hume, and the later historians who have followed in his path, no person who has at all studied the subject but arrives at the same conclusion. Records exist in the Tower, some well known, others with which those who have access to those interesting papers are alone acquainted, which put the question almost beyond a doubt.
This is not the place for a discussion of the question. The principal thing that I should wish to be impressed on my reader's mind is, that whether my hero was or was not an impostor, he was believed to be the true man by his contemporaries. The partial pages of Bacon, of Hall, and Holinshed, and others of that date, are replete with proofs of this fact. There are some curious letters, written by Sir John Ramsay, laird of Balmayne, calling himself Lord Bothwell, addressed to Henry the Seventh himself, which, though written by a spy and hireling of that monarch, tend to confirm my belief, and even demonstrate that in his eagerness to get rid of a formidable competitor, Henry did not hesitate to urge midnight assassination. These letters are printed in the Appendix to Pinkerton's "History of Scotland." The verses which form the motto to these volumes, are ​part of a rythmical chronicle, written by two subjects of Burgundy, who lived in those days; it is entitled, "Recollection des Merveilles, advenues en nostre temps, commencée par très élégant orateur, Messire Georges Chastellan, et continuée par Maistre Jean Molinet."
In addition to the unwilling suffrage of his enemies, we may adduce the acts of his friends and allies. Human nature in its leading features is the same in all ages. James the Fourth of Scotland was a man of great talent and discernment: he was proud; attached, as a Scot, to the prejudices of birth; of punctilious honour. No one can believe that he would have bestowed his near kinswoman, nor have induced the earl of Huntley to give his daughter in marriage to one who did not bear evident signs of being of royal blood.
The various adventures of this unfortunate prince in many countries, and his alliance with a beautiful and high-born woman, who proved a faithful, loving wife to him, take away the sting from the ignominy which might attach itself to his fate; and make him, we venture to believe, in spite of the contumely later historians have chosen, in the most arbitrary way, to heap upon him, a fitting object of interest—a hero to ennoble the pages of a humble tale.

COWSLIP, a popular name for several distinct species of plants, both American and European. The English cowslip is Primula officinalis, of the family Primulaceæ. It is a stemless perennial herb with a rosette of oval or oblong soft leaves, from among which arise numerous scapes 6 to 10 inches tall and bearing six or eight bright yellow, fragrant flowers in a close umbel which leans to one side. The plant has long been a general favorite in gardens were it usually receives little attention beyond an occasional stirring of the soil to remove weeds and the application of the usual winter mulch of stable manure. Several improved varieties have been produced in divers colors. The plant most widely known in America as cowslip is Caltha palustris, the marsh marigold, a member of the family Ranunculaceæ. This is a succulent perennial herb common in wet ground from the Carolinas to the Arctic regions. It has strong fibrous roots, hollow branching stems one to two feet tall, heart-shaped or kidney-shaped leaves and brilliant yellow flowers resembling buttercup, by which name the plant is sometimes called. It is often cultivated for ornament in marshy ground and has developed some improved double-flowered varieties. Its leaves and young stems are often used as a pot-herb in early spring. The American cowslip or shooting-star is Dodecatheon meadia of the family Primulaceæ. It is a stemless perennial with fibrous roots, spatulate-oblong leaves in a dense rosette from which the scape rises to a height of 9 to 18 inches or more, bearing at its summit several or many pendant pink, white or lilac flowers with reflexed petals and prominent anthers and pistils. Each flower
of the cluster resembles the solitary flowers of cyclamen. Other species of the same genus are also known by the name, and like it are planted in hardy flower borders like the English cowslip.

Edition of 1920. See also Meteor Crater on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
CRATER MOUND, Arizona. This feature in the plains 25 miles due west of Winslow, Ariz., formerly known as Coon Butte, is one of the most remarkable natural wonders in existence. It consists of a crater 600 feet deep and 400 feet in diameter surrounded by a rim 100 to 150 feet high. This rim consists of loose fragments of rock and sand from the hole. The walls of the hole are limestone (Kaibab) and sandstone (Coconino), more or less upbent and shattered. The relations are shown in the figure.
Section through Crater Mound, Arizona Plateau
The cause of this extraordinary hole is one of the perplexing questions over which scientists speculate. It has been suggested that
the crater was caused by impact of a large meteor, a view snstained by the occurrence of many small masses of meteoric iron in the vicinity, but a mining company organized to find and work the large mass of iron presumably buried in the hole obtained no evidence of its existence. A detailed survey with magnetic needle hung to swing vertically also failed to indicate the presence of a body of metallic iron. A plausible suggestion is that the bole was caused by explosion of volcanic steam accumulating in the porous sandstone under the dense limestone and finally reaching the limit of tension. Many conspicuous volcanic features occur in the general neighborhood but not in the immediate vicinity of the hole. Closely similar craters due to explosion are known in the Southwest, in Mexico and other parts of the world.
