See also Waycross on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​WAYCROSS, a city and the county-seat of Ware county, Georgia, U.S.A., about 96 m. S.W. of Savannah and about 60 m. W. of Brunswick. Pop. (1880) 628; (1890) 3364, (1900) 5919 (2899 negroes), (1910) 14,485. Waycross is served by the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic, and The Atlantic Coast Line railways, several branches of the latter intersecting here. In the city is the Bunn-Bell Institute (Baptist, opened in 1909). There are large railway car construction and repair shops here, and Waycross is a commercial centre for the forest products (naval stores and lumber) and the cotton, sugar cane, sweet potatoes, melons and pears of the surrounding country. The municipality owns the water-works, the water-supply being obtained from artesian wells. Before the passage of the state prohibition law Waycross secured virtual prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquors by requiring a large liquor license fee ($20,000 in 1883, increased to $30,000 in 1892). Waycross was settled in 1870, was first incorporated in 1874 and became a city in 1909.

COWLEY, HANNAH,
Whose maiden name was Parkhouse, was born at Tiverton, in Devonshire, in 1743, and died there in 1809. She is the author of nine comedies, among which are the "Runaway," the "Belle's Stratagem," and "More Ways than One;" the tragedies of "Albina," and "The Fate of Sparta;" two farces; and the poems of "The Siege of Acre," "The Maid of Aragon," and "The Scottish Village." Her poems are of that description which Horace deprecates; but her comedies have considerable merit.

COXE, MARGARET,
Was born in Burlington, New Jersey. Her father was William Coxe, Esq., long an eminent citizen of that place. Miss Coxe, as a delicate child, was educated chiefly at home; a choice library, a beautiful garden, and a pious family, united with her own love of study, gave the bias to her mind which has proved of such benefit to others. She is now one of the most accomplished educators of her own sex in America; because to her thorough discipline of mind is added the true religion of heart, which has such an influence in moulding the characters of the young. Miss Coxe has written some excellent works, among which are "Botany of the Scriptures;" "Wonders of the Deep;" and "The Young Lady's Companion," in a series of Letters, replete with the faithful monitions and precepts a good mother, or rather an affectionate elder sister would urge on those under her care. Miss Coxe is now at the head ​of a large and popular seminary for young ladies in Cincinnati, Ohio.

CRETA, LAURA,
Was born in Italy, in 1669. She received a learned education, and was a proficient in languages and philosophy. She married Pietro Lereni, but he died in less than two years after their union. She had been much attached to her husband, and refusing several advantageous offers of marriage, devoted herself to her studies, and lived in honoured widowhood to the close of her life. She corresponded with most of the eminent scholars and philosophers then living in Europe, who were happy in forming an acquaintance, through the medium of letters, with such a lady, renowned as the most learned woman of the age. She died at the beginning of the eighteenth century, and was, says a contemporary writer, "lamented throughout Christendom."

CREGUY, VICTOIRE D'HOULAY, MARQUISE DE,
A distinguished French lady, was born in 1699, and died in 1804. She has left several volumes of souvenirs, which form a sort of panorama of the eighteenth century. Allied by birth to the highest nobility, and inspired by nature with a taste for literary society, she was acquainted with most of the celebrated characters of all descriptions that flourished during that lapse of time. As a girl, being presented to Louis XIV., when, according to the etiquette of the court, she advanced to kiss the king's hand, the gallant monarch prevented the action by rendering this homage to herself; a fact only worth recording because the very same circumstance occurred on a presentation to Napoleon eighty years afterwards.
A family of the name of Grèguy, but whose ancestor had been an upholsterer in the time of Louis XII., claimed to belong to the great de Creguy race. "There was some similarity in the pursuits of our ancestors," said Madame de Crèguy, "c'est que les uns gagnaient des batailles, tandis que les autres faisaient des sieges." ​Several other examples are on record of the ready wit for which she was celebrated among her contemporaries. Held at the baptismal font by the distinguished Princess des Ursins, who governed Spain despotically under Philip V., she lived to see that monarchy submitted to the disposal of France, and its crown awarded to one born the private subject of an obscure province. That the Marchioness de Crèguy maintained through all these changes her cheerfulness of mind, shews that her literary pursuits had a happy effect on the tranquillity and usefulness of her long life.

COSWAY, MARY,
One of the best miniature-painters of Italy, was the daughter of an Englishman of the name of Hadfield, who kept an hotel at Leghorn. Mary was born in the year 1779, and married, when twenty years old, an Englishman of the name of Cosway, who had acquired some celebrity as a painter. He soon discovered the talent of his wife, and aided her in cultivating it. He then went with her to Paris, where she devoted herself altogether to miniature-painting and engraving. Her fame soon extended throughout the country, and people from all parts of the kingdom came to have their likenesses taken by her. Her greatest undertaking, a work which was to contain a copy of the best paintings in the Museum, accompanied with historical notices, remained unfinished on account of the loss of a child, which affected her so much that she became melancholy, and gave up her artistical pursuits. She died, 1804, in a nunnery near Lyons.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Coutts, Angela Georgina Burdett

Layout 2
COUTTS, ANGELA GEORGINA BURDETT,
Is distinguished as possessing more wealth than any other private woman in the world; and a far higher distinction is hers also, that she is using her immense riches in the noblest works of charity.
Miss Burdett Coutts is the youngest daughter of Sir Francis Burdett, Bart., late of Bramcote, county of Warwick, a philanthropist and reformer, whose political career is well known. Her mother was Sophia, youngest daughter of Thomas Coutts, Esq., the opulent banker of the Strand. The family of Burdett, enriched by alliances with the houses of Camville of Arrow, Bruin of Bramcote, and Fraunceys of Foremark, can be traced to one of the soldiers of the Conquest. But whatever the ancestry of Miss Burdett Coutts might have been, it can confer no honour on her name so noble as do her own benevolent deeds. She was born April 26th., 1814, and ​carefully trained in those religious sentiments which develop the best faculties of the female mind. She was not educated as an expectant heiress, because her grandfather's marriage with Miss Mellon, the actress, and his gift by will of his whole fortune to this, compararatively, young wife, must have deprived his children of any expectancy from the step-mother, who subsequently married the young Duke of St. Albans. But the amiable, interesting, and affectionate Angela Burdett, was ever a favourite with her step-grandmother; and as the latter had no children or near relations of her own, she justly determined the fortune she had received from her first husband should return to his family, and wisely selected the youthful Angela Georgina Burdett as her heiress. One condition only was annexed to the possession of this vast property—that the heiress should assume the additional surname and arms of Coutts, which, by royal licence, was permitted. In September, 1837, the subject of this memoir took the style and surname, and came into possession of her fortune; she was then twenty-three years of age.
Since Miss Burdett Coutts came into possession of her fortune, she has been indefatigable in her works of benevolence. Besides her private charities, which are innumerable, she has given largely for missionary purposes; to assist religious societies; endowed the see of a bishopric in Adelaide, South Australia; and bestowed thirty thousand pounds sterling to build and endow a church, with parsonage-house and schools in Westminster, London! Who, among the living noble and rich men of England, has done deeds of disinterested benevolence to be compared with these? A woman is now the leader of British charities; and the name of Miss Burdett Coutts is honoured throughout the Christian world.

CRAVEN, ELIZABETH, LADY,
Margravine of Anspach, youngest daughter of the Earl of Berkeley, was born in 1750, and married, in 1767, William, last Earl of Craven, by whom she had seven children. But in consequence of his ill-treatment, they were separated in 1781. After this. Lady Craven lived successively at the courts of Versailles, Madrid, Lisbon, Vienna, Berlin, Constantinople, Warsaw, St. Petersburgh, Rome, Florence, Naples, and Anspach, where she became acquainted with the margrave Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, a nephew of Frederick the Great. On this tour, in 1787, she was persuaded to descend into the grotto of Antiparos, which no woman had ever before visited. Lord Craven died at Lisbon in 1791, and his widow soon after married the margrave, who surrendered his estates to the King of Prussia for a pension, and came to reside in England with his wife. He died in 1806. The account of Lady Craven's travels through the Crimea to Constantinople was first published, in a series of letters, in 1789. Besides these, she has written poems, plays, romances, and her own memoirs, entitled "Memoirs of the Margravine of Anspach, formerly Lady Craven, &c." London, 1825. These are interesting on account of her intercourse with Catharine II., Joseph II.. and other princes.

# A Danish and Dano-Norwegian Grammar/Punctuation

​247. As to punctuation the D. N. language follows about the same rules as the English, excepting that comma is always used between the principal and the subordinate proposition. Comma is also used before independent propositions introduced by og and, and before single words connected by men but. Before complete sentences introduced by men but, semicolon is used. Sig mig, hvad du har gjort! Tell me what you have done! Den Ring, som jeg havde paa Fingeren, er kommet bort the ring I had on the finger has been lost. Min Söster fortalte, at hendes Bog, som hun havde lagt fra sig paa Bordet for en Time siden, var forsvunden, da hun kom tilbage til Værelset: My sister told me that her book which she had left on the table an hour ago had disappeared, when she returned to the room.
# A Danish and Dano-Norwegian Grammar/The Alphabet

THE ALPHABET.
8. The alphabet used in Danish and Dano-Norwegian literature has the same letters as the English alphabet and besides these the signs Æ (æ) and Ö (Ø, ø, ö). As for the sounds indicated by these letters see §§ 12, 13, 25, 26, 82, 91.
The names of the vowels are represented by their sounds.
The names of the consonants b, c, d, etc. are be, ce, de etc. (pronounce e like a in name.) h and k are called haa and kaa (aa pron. with a sound between o in hole and a in call), j is called jod (yod), g ge (pronounced like g in give), w is called “dobbelt ve” (double v), z zet pr. set.
The Gothic characters are still in very common use, especially in newspapers and popular books. These letters have the following forms :
| A a | B b | C c | D d | E e | F f | G g | H h | I i | J j |
| a | b | c | d | e | f | g | h | i | j |
| K k | L l | M m | N n | O o | P p | Q q | R r | S ſ s |
| k | l | m | n | o | p | q | r | s |
| T t | U u | V v | W w | X x | Y y | Z z | Æ æ | Ø ø |
| t | u | v | w | x | y | z | æ | ö |
Some authors also employ the sign å, borrowed from the Swedish language, to express the same sound as is usually in Danish and Dano-Norwegian literature denoted by aa (see above).
NOTE.—Capital letters are still according to official Danish rules of spelling used at the beginning of substantives and adjectives employed as substantives, while the official Norwegian orthography only acknowledges capital letters in proper nouns. A great many Danish authors also have done away with capital letters in common nouns.
The sounds of the Danish and the Dano-Norwegian branches of the language are so widely different, that it bas been found practical to treat of them in separate chapters.
# A Danish and Dano-Norwegian Grammar/Prepositions

THE PREPOSITIONS.
240. The prepositions do not in the language as it is to-day govern any case, except that in the pronouns which have separate forms for the subjective and objective case, the latter always follows the preposition: hos mig with me; til ham to ​him; der er intet ondt i ham there is nothing bad about him; i Huset in the house; paa Gaden in the street.
Note. In some phrases the ancient cases have been retained as governed by prepositions; the nouns either end in -e or -s, the latter being the genitive singular, the former representing an original genitive plural (in the ancient language ending in -a) or dative singular (in the ancient language ending in -i); in some cases the preposition and the noun governed by it are written together in one word, so as to show that the whole expression now is considered as an adverb; Ex.: ihænde (dat sing) at hand; ilive alive; itide in due, good time, igjære in progress; isinde in mind; (gaa en) tilhaande to assist somebody (literally go him to the hands; gen. pl.); tillands on shore; tilsös (N. tilsjös) at sea; tilvands at sea; tilskibs on a ship; tilbords at table (but tilhest on horseback); have en tilbedste to make fun of one; have noget tilgode to have something coming due; til Thinge at the court session.
241. In relative sentences introduced by som the preposition comes at the end of the sentence; Ex. min Ven, som jeg ikke paa længe har hört fra, er död my friend, from whom I have not had any news for a long time, has died; sometimes a preposition may be used adverbially at the end of the sentence: en Hat med et sort Baand omkring a hat with a black ribbon around it; Karl har faaet en stor Tavle at skrive paa Charles has got a big slate to write on; nu har han faaet sig en Vogn, han kan kjöre rundt i now he has got a carriage in which to ride around.
242. As to the distinction between i in and paa on may be noticed that paa is always used in connection with the name of islands and in Norway with the names of certain (especially minor) towns; Ex. paa Sjælland in Zealand; paa Bornholm in B.; paa Island in Iceland (but i England, i Irland); paa Moss at Moss; paa Kongsberg at K.; paa Fredrikshald at F.; (but i Fredriksstad, i Kristiania, i Drammen, i Skien, i Bergen, i Stavanger, i Trondhjem). The ​use varies also with the names of different districts; paa Hedemarken in H.; i Österdalen in Ø.
Af of; fra from: En of os one of our number; en Hand fra Byen a man from the city; Johnsen er fra Aarhus J. is from A.; Jeg reiste fra Kristiania til Bergen I went from Chr. to B. A rich merchant of Copenhagen (is in D.-N.) en rig Kjöbmand i Köbenhavn, but a r. m. of this city en rig Kjöbmand her of Byen; Hekla af Kjöbenhavn H. of Copenhagen.
Note. The following prepositional phrases are used as prepositions: istedenfor (also written i Steden for, i Stedet for) instead of; pan Grund af on account of; i Anledning af on the occasion of; i Kraft af in virtue of; ved Hjælp af by means of.

P. le Moine remarks, that the Bible, which has not hidden the failings of the patriarchs, which has shewn the mistrust of Moses and Aaron, the imprudence of Joshua, the incontinence of Sampson, the fall of David, and the follies ​of Solomon, has recorded nothing of Deborah but her hymns and prophecies, her victories and her laws.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Bugle

From volume 1 of the work.
​BUGLE (Eng. and Fr.; Germ. Flügelhorn, Ital. Tromba). A treble instrument of brass or copper, differing from the trumpet in having a shorter and more conical tube, with a less expanded bell. It is played with a cupped mouthpiece. In its original form the bugle is the signal horn for the infantry, as the trumpet is for the cavalry, and it is usually tuned in C, with an extra B♭ crook, or in E♭. Only five sounds are required for the various calls and signals. These are the intermediate open notes of the tube, from C below the treble stave to G above it. Eight sounds however can in all be obtained, by the addition of the B♭ and C above high G, and the octave of the lowest C, which though feeble and of poor tone is the real fundamental note. With these additions the entire compass is as follows:—
Two methods have been adopted for bridging over the gaps between the open notes of this instrument, viz. keys and valves. The key-bugle, called also the 'Kent bugle' and 'Regent's bugle,' which was extremely popular some forty years ago, has been entirely superseded by the valve system. No doubt the latter, as in the cornet and euphonium, preserves the whole length of tube for the higher notes, and thus gains power and fulness; but it is a question whether the keyed instrument does not produce more accurate intonation and a tenderer quality of tone. This however is a matter to which English bandmasters seem perfectly indifferent, although the Flügelhorn and the key-bugle are still to be heard with effect in the superb bands of Austria.
