Book VII. The Pan-kăng.
Pan-kăng was the seventeenth sovereign in the line of Thang. From Thâi Kiâ to him, therefore, there was a space of 321 years, which are a gap in the history of the Shang dynasty, so far as the existing documents of the Shû are concerned. When the collection was complete, there were seven other documents between 'the Common Possession of Pure Virtue' and 'the Pan-kang,' but the latest of them belonged to the reign of Zû-yî, B.C. 1525–1507.
The reign of Pan-kăng extended from B.C. 1401 to 1374, and is remarkable as that in which the dynasty began to be called Yin, instead of Shang. The Book belongs to the class of 'Announcements,' and is divided into three sections.
The contents centre round the removal of the capital from the north of the Ho to Yin on the south of it. The king saw that the removal was necessary, but had to contend with the unwillingness of the people to adopt such a step, and the opposition of the great families. The first section relates how he endeavoured to vindicate the measure, and contains two addresses, to the people and to those in high places, respectively, designed to secure their cordial co-operation. The second section brings before us the removal in progress, but there continue to be dissatisfactions, which the king endeavours to remove by a long and earnest defence of his course. The third section opens with the removal accomplished. The new city has been founded, and the plan of it laid out. The king makes a fresh appeal to the people and chiefs, to forget all their heart-burnings, and join with him in building up in the new capital a great destiny for the dynasty.

Book V. The Thâi Kiâ
This Book also belongs to the class of 'Lessons or Instructions,' and is called 'the Thâi Kiâ,' because the Instructions were addressed to the young monarch so named. It is divided into three sections or parts. Î Yin finds the young sovereign disobedient to his counsels, and proceeds to a high-handed measure. He removes him from his palace and companions, and keeps him in a sort of easy confinement, near the grave of his grandfather, all the period of mourning; and Thâi Kiâ becomes sincerely penitent and virtuous. This is related in the first section. In the second, Î Yin brings the king back with honour to Po, to undertake the duties of the government, and congratulates him on his reformation. The king responds suitably, and asks the minister to continue to afford him his counsels, which the other at once proceeds to do. The third section is all occupied with further and important counsels.

Book XI. The Count of Wei.
The conversation recorded here—called, like the last Book, and with as little reason, an 'Announcement'—is referred to B.C. 1123, the year in which the dynasty of Shang perished.
Wei was a principality in the royal domain, corresponding to the present district of Lû-khăng, department Lû-an, Shan-hsî, the lords of which were counts. The count who appears here was, most probably, an elder brother of the king, and by the same mother, who was, however, only a concubine when the count was born, but raised to be queen before the birth of Kâu-hsin. Saddened with the thought of the impending ruin of the dynasty, the count seeks the counsel of two other high nobles, and asks them to tell him what was to be done. One of them replies to him in still stronger language about the condition and prospects of the kingdom, and concludes by advising the count to make his escape, and declaring that he himself would remain at his post, and share in the unavoidable ruin.
He added, 'Grand-Master and Junior-Master, we are manifesting insanity. The most venerable members of our families are withdrawn to the wilds; and you indicate no course (to be taken), but (only) tell me of the impending ruin;—what is to be done?'
2. The Grand-Master made about the following reply:—'O son of our (former) king, Heaven in anger is sending down calamities, and wasting the country of Yin.* Hence has arisen that mad indulgence in spirits. (The king) has no reverence ​for things which he ought to reverence, but does despite to the venerable aged, the men who have long been in office. The people of Yin will now steal even the pure and perfect victims devoted to the spirits of heaven and earth;* and their conduct is connived at, and though they proceed to eat the victims, they suffer no punishment. (On the other hand), when I look down and survey the people of Yin, the methods by which they are governed are hateful exactions, which call forth outrages and hatred;—and this without ceasing. Such crimes equally belong to all in authority, and multitudes are starving with none to whom to appeal. Now is the time of Shang's calamity;—I will arise and share in its ruin. When ruin overtakes Shang, I will not be the servant (of another House). (But) I tell you, O king's son, to go away, as being the course (for you). Formerly I injured you by what I said; if you do not (now) go away, our (sacrifices) will entirely perish. Let us rest quietly (in our several parts), and each present himself to the former kings (as having done so).* I do not think of making my escape.'
* ↑ For high ministers with these titles under the Kâu dynasty, see next Part, Book xx. The individuals whom the count of Wei consulted were probably the count of Kî and Pî-kan, who are classed with him in the Confucian Analects, XVIII, 1.
* ↑ It is understood that the former king, the father of both Khî and Kâu-hsin, had wished to leave the throne to Khî, and that the Grand-Master had advocated such a measure;—thereby injuring Khî when it did not take effect, through making Kâu-hsin jealous of him.

Section 2.
1. On the first day of the twelfth month of his third year, Î Yin escorted the young king in the royal cap and robes back to Po. (At the same time) he made the following writing:—
'Without the sovereign, the people cannot have that guidance which is necessary to (the comfort of) their lives; without the people, the sovereign would have no sway over the four quarters (of the kingdom). ​Great Heaven has graciously favoured the House of Shang, and granted to you, O young king, at last to become virtuous.* This is indeed a blessing that will extend without limit to ten thousand generations.'
2. The king did obeisance with his face to his hands and his head to the ground, saying, 'I, the little child, was without understanding of what was virtuous, and was making myself one of the unworthy. By my desires I was setting at nought all rules of conduct, and violating by my self-indulgence all rules of propriety, and the result must have been speedy ruin to my person. Calamities sent by Heaven maybe avoided, but from calamities brought on by one's self there is no escape.* Heretofore I turned my back on the instructions of you, my tutor and guardian;—my beginning has been marked by incompetency. Let me still rely on your correcting and preserving virtue, keeping this in view that my end may be good!'
3. Î Yin did obeisance with his face to his hands and his head on the ground, and said, 'To cultivate his person, and by being sincerely virtuous, bring (all) below to harmonious concord with him;—this is the work of the intelligent sovereign. The former king was kind to the distressed and suffering, as if they were his children, and the people submitted to his commands,—all with sincere delight. Even in the states of the neighbouring princes, (the people) said, "We are waiting for our sovereign; when our sovereign comes, we shall not suffer the punishments (that we now do)."
'O king, zealously cultivate your virtue. Regard (the example of) your meritorious grandfather. At no time allow yourself in pleasure and idleness. In ​worshipping your ancestors, think how you can prove your filial piety;* in receiving your ministers, think how you can show yourself respectful; in looking to what is distant, try to get clear views; have your ears ever open to lessons of virtue;—then shall I acknowledge (and respond to) the excellence of your majesty with an untiring (devotion to your service).
# Sacred Books of the East/Volume 3/The Shu/Part 4/Book 5/Section 3

Section 3.
1. Î Yin again made an announcement to the king, saying, 'Oh! Heaven has no (partial) affection;—only to those who are reverent does it show affection.* The people are not constant to those whom they cherish;—they cherish (only) him who is benevolent. The spirits do not always accept the sacrifices that are offered to them;—they accept only the sacrifices of the sincere.* A place of difficulty is the Heaven-(conferred) seat. When there are (those) virtues, good government is realized; when they are not, disorder comes. To maintain the same principles as those who secured good government will surely lead to prosperity; to pursue the courses of disorder will surely lead to ruin. He who at last, as at first, is careful as to whom and what he follows is a truly intelligent sovereign. The former king was always zealous in the reverent cultivation of his virtue, so that he was the fellow of God.* Now, O king, you have entered on the inheritance of his excellent line;—fix your inspection on him.'
2. '(Your course must be) as when in ascending ​high you begin from where it is low, and when in travelling far you begin from where it is near. Do not slight the occupations of the people;—think of their difficulties. Do not yield to a feeling of repose on your throne;—think of its perils. Be careful for the end at the beginning. When you hear words that are distasteful to your mind, you must enquire whether they be not right; when you hear words that accord with your own views, you must enquire whether they be not contrary to what is right. Oh! what attainment can be made without anxious thought? what achievement can be made without earnest effort? Let the One man be greatly good, and the myriad regions will be rectified by him.'
3. 'When the sovereign does not with disputatious words throw the old rules of government into confusion, and the minister does not, for favour and gain, continue in an office whose work is done, then the country will lastingly and surely enjoy happiness.'

# Royal Naval Biography/Temple, Francis

FRANCIS TEMPLE, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1805.]
This officer received his first commission in 1793, and was promoted to the rank of Commander for his gallant conduct in attacking and capturing the French national brig Venteux, of 10 guns and 82 men, an event already noticed in our memoir of Captain Frederick Lewis Maitland, from whose official letter to Sir John Colpoys we make the following extract:
“When it is considered that the Venteux, perfectly prepared, manned with 82 men, all of whom were upon deck, and covered with very heavy batteries, was opposed to the crews of two of our boats (as the third, from rowing heavy, did not get up till the brig was completely gained possession of) I feel confident you will view it in the light that I do, as one of those brilliant exploits which add lustre to the British arms; of which, though so many instances occurred during the late war, no one has before been happy enough to have thrown in his way during the present. The success of Mr. Temple’s daring attempt speaks sufficiently for his conduct, and that of every one under his command, to render it superfluous for me to enter into any eulogiurn on the present occasion.”
Captain Temple’s advancement to the rank of Commander took place July 4, 1803; and in Jan. following the Committee for managing the Patriotic Fund at Lloyd’s voted him a sword, value 50l., as a token of the sense entertained by that society of his distinguished merit in combat with an enemy of such superior force. His post commission bears date Mar. 12, 1805. Towards the close of the war we find him commanding the Armide frigate on channel service. He married, in 1815, Susan, youngest daughter of the late George Warren, of Penpool, Cornwall, Esq.
Agent.– Sir Francis M. Ommanney, M.P.

SANDFORD TATHAM, Esq [Superannuated Rear-Admiral.]
During the Russian armament, in 1791, this officer commanded the Argo, a 44-gun ship, armed en flute, in North America. In 1793, he was appointed to the Dromedary, store-ship, and accompanied the expedition under Sir John Jervis and Sir Charles Grey, to the West Indies.
On the 8th Feb. 1794, whilst employed in covering the debarkation of the third brigade of the army on the side of Cas de Navires, in the island of Martinique, the Dromedary, venturing too near the battery on Point Negro, received a shot between wind and water, and a second through her upper works, which killed 1 man and wounded 4, among whom was Captain Tatham.
Our officer was promoted to the rank of Post-Captain, Nov. 4, 1794; employed on the Impress service, in 1798 and 1799; and obtained the superannuation of a Rear-Admiral, Dec. 7, 1813.
Residence.– Armitage, near Rugeley, Staffordshire.

HENRY TAYLOR, Esq. [Commander.]
Obtained the rank of lieutenant in Mar. 1806; and commanded the Olympia cutter, on the Cape of Good Mope station, during the operations against the island of Bourbon, in 1810. On his return from thence to England (having then on board the officers charged with the naval and military despatches, announcing the reduction of that colony; and also Captain Matthew Flinders, the celebrated navigator, who had recently been liberated from his confinement at Mauritius,) he captured the French brig Atalante, pierced for eighteen guns, two only mounted, with a valuable cargo, from Port Louis, bound to Bourdeaux.
In May, 1811, the Olympia was taken by the enemy, off Dieppe; and Lieutenant Taylor appears to have remained in captivity from that period until towards the close of the war: he was granted a pension for wounds, in Dec. 1813; and promoted to the rank of commander, June 15th, 1814.
​This officer married, in 1814, Harriet, daughter of Mr. Robert Vazie, civil engineer.

WILLIAM TAYLOR, Esq Vice-Admiral of the White.
At the close of the American war, this officer commanded the Cygnet sloop; and during the Spanish armament, the Thorn, a vessel of similar description, stationed in the Channel. He was subsequently appointed to the Weazle, of 12 ​guns; and on the 22d May, 1793, sailed from Spithead with the fleet under Lord Hood, whom he accompanied to Gibraltar, and returned from thence with the homeward bound trade.
On the 24th Sept. in the same year, Captain Taylor obtained post rank, and soon after, the command of la Prompte, of 20 guns, stationed in the North Sea. From that vessel he was removed into the Andromeda frigate, and served in her on the coast of Scotland, at Newfoundland, Halifax, and in the Channel, until the spring of 1799, when he succeeded the Hon. Michael de Courcy, in the command of the Magnanime, of 48 guns, in which ship he assisted at the capture of the island of Goree in April 1801; and then proceeded to the West Indies, where he continued during the remainder of the war.
Our officer was advanced to the rank of Rear-Admiral, Aug. 1, 1811. His commission as Vice-Admiral bears date Aug. 12, 1819.
* ↑ In January, 1789, Lieutenant Thackeray, of the Thorn, was tried by a court-martial, on several charges exhibited against him by Captain Taylor; and amongst others, for going into the captain’s cabin, when alone at tea, and calling him scoundrel and liar. The privacy of this offence excluded all other positive evidence but that of the prosecutor; and, when the court assembled, the President had his doubts of the propriety of admitting Captain Taylor to give his evidence; the court was therefore adjourned, until they had the opinion of counsel on the following question: “Whether Captain Taylor’s evidence, under the above circumstances, ought to be admitted, or not; and, if it ought to be admitted, whether, after he has been examined, as is the custom of courts-martial, to examine the witnesses separately, and apart from each other, he can be permitted to remain in the court to conduct the prosecution?” The opinion of counsel on this question was, in substance, that in criminal prosecutions it is not a legal objection to the competency of a witness, or to the admissibility of his evidence, that he is the prosecutor, whatever objections to his credit may arise, under the circumstances of the case. The rule, which is universal in civil actions, that a plaintiff cannot be admitted as a witness in his own cause, does not apply to criminal prosecutions, which are always supposed to be at the suit of the crown, and on behalf of the public. The court afterwards re-assembled, Captain Taylor’s evidence was admitted, and the prisoner was dismissed from the rank of Lieutenant, and adjudged to serve in the navy as a Midshipman. See M‘Arthur on Courts Martial, edit. 1813, vol. II, cap. iii, sect. 16, pp. 103, 4 ,5.
