V.—Rules of a Life burdened with Business.
It sometimes happens that the active are overwhelmed with business, still activity of life must not on that account be abandoned; for compendious means are available, by which distressing cares may be alleviated. That you may know such, remember these rules:—
1. Put value on time, so that you permit no portion of it to escape uselessly—so, more ample spaces of time of acting will be to you, than to another who knows not how to seize occasions.
2. He by whom many things must be done, must express himself in few words. Understand this both actively and passively—that is, both he himself, when he must speak, ​should express himself in few words, and request that any other who may wish to address him, should brieﬂy deliver himself. The discourse of the wise is short—talk beyond what is necessary, appertains to idleness.
3. Whatever can be expedited more quickly by the aid of others, fail not to employ them; thus business will proceed more quickly—more hands more work—provided that order be preserved, so that your fellow-labourers may not impede or disturb you or themselves.
4. However, that you may be more active for labours, occasionally relax the mind, or change the occupation. That which is deprived of alternate rest, is not durable—an over-stretched bow, snaps.

VI.—Rules of a Life of Honorable Retirement.
If life happens to be free from labours, it is not necessary to do nothing—that is, to be torpid, and uselessly destroy time—neither is it requisite to have recourse to unproﬁtable games, such as cards, dice, &c. Something ought to be done which may refresh the body as well as the mind. This may be done by walking, by conversing with friends, by transacting affairs connected with your household.
# Rules of Life/The editor to the reader

THE EDITOR TO THE READER
When the venerable John Amos Comenius removed for a time from Lissa in Poland, to Elbing in Prussia, his fame attracted many students to the public grammar school, founded in the latter town by the Archduke Albert, in the year 1542, the parents of the wealthier pupils desiring him to impart private instruction to their children. But as the then law of the school was said to exclude its scholars from the advantages of tuition under private teachers, Comenius, who wished to be freed for the time from such employment, excused himself by a reference to that law. This induced one of the parents to seek the interference of the town council, under whose government the school appears to have been organised. His appeal was readily responded to, and the council, seconding the desire of the parent, Comenius was constrained to take the son under his care, who was the only youth favoured with the instruction of that most worthy man, during his abode at Elbing.
This youth, Christian Ambrose Koklewski (Cochlevius), to whom the following "Rules of Life" were addressed, was son of the appellant, the honourable Peter Koklewski, a native of Kuttenberg, in Bohemia, who, at the date of the appeal, fulfilled the high and responsible office of Royal Judge in the district of Breste (Brestensis), in the province of Lithuania, where the Polish Bible for Sarmatia was printed in 1563. The appeal, of which a copy is among the letters of Comenius, in the Royal Library of Prague, is dated at Norcium (Nurek), June the 27th, 1644; and included also a widowed sister's son, who probably, through the jealousy of the office-bearers in the school, was prevented from sharing in the requested privilege.

II.—Rules of a Harmonious Life.
God is the fountain of all harmony. He made all things harmoniously; especially man his own image, if we do not by our irrational acts disturb that harmony in the eyes and ears of God, of angels, and of such men as judge wisely of us. Therefore that you may not distiurb this harmony, act thus:—
​1. Always consider, do, and transact former things ﬁrst—better things the rather—late things late—graceful things gracefully—loving things lovingly—divine things divinely--human things humanly, &c.; otherwise you throw into confusion yourself and such things.
2. Let your theories be always inseparable companions with practice. Whatever you know to be good, do it. Whatever good you do, consider whether you do it well, and wherefore you do it, that you be not like unto the Pharisees, who say and do not (Matt. xxiii. 3), or to the Samaritans, who worship and know not what (John iv. 22).
3. Let your internal things be in conformity with your external; i. e. whatever you desire to appear to be, be truly such, otherwise you will be an abomination to God, for His works are truth (Ps. cxi. 7), and He loves truth in us, and hates hypocrisy (Ps. li. 6). Woe to you, hypocrites! who are like to whitened sepulchres, which outwardly look beautiful to men, but inwardly are full of the bones of the dead (Matt. xxiii. 27).
4. Finally, let your thoughts, words, and deeds before men exactly agree; let the heart never dissent from the lip, nor the lip from the hand; a man with a double heart is a monster, &c.
# Rules of Life/Chapter IV

IV.—Rules of an Active Life.
We are born for business, therefore an active life is truly life. Idleness is the sepulchre of a living man. By how much the more excellent any creature is, by so much the more active it is; as is evident in the case of angels, of the sun, and of the heavenly bodies—which are in perpetual motion—so also are the fountains always sending forth waters, and the rivers carrying these waters hither and thither for human uses. On the contrary, by how much the more torpid anything is, by so much the more useless it is; as a stone, clay, ditch, &c.; do you therefore, that you may not be a stone or a useless weight of earth, but an active sun always shining, or an angel always ministering in place of God to men, use all your efforts. What now must be observed in this matter?
1. Whatever you see ought to be done by you, provided you know the means of effecting it, and the prudent use of the means, dare to engage in it. It is better to fail in good attempts, as sometimes happens, than to neglect occasions of increasing any good things.
2. Whatever you are able to expedite yourself, never wait for others. Thus relying more on your own industry than on that of another; for it often happens that before you have related the matter to another, and he has perceived it, deliberated upon it, and prepared himself for it, you yourself might have done it; therefore advance right on without turnings and windings.
​3. Whatever you are able to do to-day defer not till tomorrow. They who are prepared, are always injured by delay; the raven word cras, cras (to-morrow, to-morrow) is the manifest ruin of business.
4. To whomsoever you can do good, rejoice to do it, even though it were to the whole world. It has justly been stated that it is the property of excellent natures to minister and do good; therefore, if you can, imitate God, who ministers to all, or an angel who ministers to many. Regard as among abominable things, the being torpid or useless.
5. No day without a line. You see how rapidly the machine of the world moves, whilst we act slowly; therefore, be not thou sluggish in business: yet I do not wish you to be precipitate; consider what is necessary to be done, and having considered the matter, speedily engage in it, that no sun may ever shine on you in vain. Enquiry will be made how all the time granted to us has been expended.

LETTER
TO
D. CHRISTIAN AMBROSE KOCHLEWSKI.
"CHRIST IS OUR LIGHT."
Generous youth, now a beloved disciple, and afterwards to be an esteemed friend; you have requested that,—as you are now about to leave my society and discipline, and soon to be among strangers,—you may have from my hand some memorial of my affection.
Why should you seek such an evidence of my love? If you have engraven on your heart my often iterated admonitions and the favour of the Divine blessing invoked upon you,—to which the truth of God may add its seal, as you truly purpose to continue in the ways of God,—what need is there of a memorial on paper?
That I may not, however, fail you in anything, I present you with this tablet, as a future directory of your actions, until, by being still more confirmed in goodness, you need no such aid.
Yours with sincere affection,
COMENIUS.
Written with a friendly hand and mind, on the 9th of June, 1645, being the day of your departure from me.
# Rules of Life/Chapter VII

VII.—Rules to be observed by one about to Travel.
I see you have a desire for travelling, and it has been proposed by your friends; what, therefore, you should especially attend to I will state in few words:—
1. Above all things you will reﬂect, why you undertake the labour of travelling—certainly not to see new ​mountains, new plains, forests, rivers, or seas, or men, or beasts, for you can see such things at home. In this sense it has been rightly said by a certain writer: "Whosoever hath seen one man, one ox, one mountain, one forest, one city, &c. has seen the world, for the world is composed of such;" but that you may see, and hear, and converse with men learned and wise, from whose conversation you may obtain augmentatious of wisdom and virtue:
2. Therefore, when you go to strangers, you will not go, as it were, into another world—the whole world is the father-land of a wise man—but, as to a school which God has willed to be common—so that we, as spectators and bearers by mutual sight and intercourse, may exercise and improve each other.
3. You will reﬂect, inasmuch as you cannot go beyond the world, that you will ﬁnd the world everywhere, that is, vain and profane men, and a mixture of good and bad; therefore, you must fortify your breast against the poisoned weapon of enticements to evil and of corruptions, by assuming the shield of a ﬁrm resolve to attend to nothing, to admire nothing, to love nothing, and to bring nothing home but what may become some accession of virtue and of felicity to yourself and to your friends, to your country and to the church of God.
4. You will depart from the sight of your parents and your country, not, however, like Cain, a deserter from the face of God, to seek a ﬁeld for impiety and licentiousness. For wherever you go, the Eyes of God will accompany you, and along with these, blessings or curses will overtake you. But as the younger Tobias travelled to gratify the will of his parents and to seek among strangers everywhere treasures of wisdom and of good examples; you, therefore go, with a pure intention, with a mind, and heart, and all your senses chaste, and so the angel of the Lord will accompany you, and conduct you, and lead you back.
​Summarily—
Wherever you are
Therefore, may the Spirit of Christ be with you, so that you may rightly perceive and observe all these things:—and, from my heart, I desire the salvation of your soul, and all prosperity to your affairs, and that the perpetual splendour of your family, in church and country, may be transmitted through you to after ages.
COMENIUS.
9th of June, 1645, the day on which you depart from me.

HENRY JOHN HATTON, Esq. Gentleman Usher of His Majesty’s Privy Chamber. [Commander.]
This officer was the second and youngest son of George Hatton, Esq. formerly M.P. for Lisburne, co, Antrim, by Lady Isabella R. Seymour Conway, sixth daughter of Francis, first Marquis of Hertford. He was born at Dublin in 1790; and entered the royal navy towards the close of 1803, as midshipman on board the Crescent 36, Captain Lord William Stuart, whom he followed into the Lavinia 38, and continued to serve under till advanced to the rank of lieutenant, Nov. 3d, 1809. During the remainder of the war, we find him in the Iris frigate, commanded, for the last three years thereof, by Captain Hood Hanway Christian. The Lavinia led the squadron which forced the passage between the batteries of Flushing and Cadsand, exposed to the enemy’s fire during two hours (owing to the lightness of the wind and an adverse tide), Aug. 11th, 1809. The Iris was actively employed on the north coast of Spain in 1811 and 1812; and subsequently captured three American letters of marque.
The subject of this article obtained a commander’s commission on the 30th Aug. 1815; and married, in Sept. 1831, a few months only before his death, Josephine Louise, daughter of the late Mons. Lavoley, of Rouen, in Normandy,

RICHARD HARWARD, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1809.]
Commanded the Netley schooner, at Antigua, in June, 1805; and was a Lieutenant of the Northumberland 74, in Sir John T. Duckworth’s action, off St. Domingo, Feb. 6, 1806. He obtained the rank of Commander, April 2, 1806; was appointed to the Delphinen brig, of 18 guns, about April 1808; and had the misfortune to lose that vessel, near the coast of Holland, on the 4th Aug. following.
Captain Harward’s next appointment was to the Parthian of 10 guns, in which sloop he captured la Nouvelle Gironde, a celebrated privateer belonging to Bourdeaux, mounting 4 twelve and 10 four-pounders, with a complement of 86 men, but only 58 on board, the remainder being absent in prizes. This scourge to the trade was taken after a chace, in light winds, of 36 hours, during which period, the Parthian’s officers and crew were almost constantly at the sweeps.
This officer was made post July 31, 1809; and we subsequently find him commanding the flagships of his father-in-law, Sir Edward Pellew, now Viscount Exmouth, on the North Sea and Mediterranean stations.
# Royal Naval Biography/Hastings, Thomas

Layout 2
THOMAS HASTINGS, Esq. [Captain of 1830.]
Is the son of a clergyman, and nephew to the celebrated Warren Hastings, Esq. He passed his examination in Nov. 1809; obtained the rank of lieutenant in Jan. 1810; and afterwards served in the Badger brig, of 10 guns, Captain John Lampen Manley, from which vessel he was removed to the Hyacinth, post-sloop, successively commanded by Captains Thomas Ussher and Alexander R. Sharpe, on the Mediterranean station. For his bravery on many occasions, but more particularly for his highly distinguished conduct at Malaga (April 29th, 1812) and Port Nouvelle (Nov. 9th 1813) he had the honor of being officially mentioned, in terms of the warmest approbation, by the “Undaunted Ussher”; with whom he subsequently served, as first lieutenant of the frigate which conveyed Napoleon Buonaparte to Elba.
In Oct. 1815, the latter ship, which had then for some time been commanded by Captain Charles Thurlow Smith, was put out of commission, and Lieutenant Hastings was not again called into service until June 1817, when we find him joining the Icarus sloop, Captain the Hon. C. O. Bridgeman, fitting out for the South American station, where it appears he left that vessel, in Jan. 1819. His next appointment was, Oct. 27th, 1821, to be first of the Euryalus frigate, Captain (now Sir Augustus) Clifford, C.B., under whom he served until promoted to the rank of commander. May 9th, 1825. In the beginning of Nov. 1828, he was appointed to the Ferret sloop; and on the 22d July 1830, whilst employed in the Mediterranean, advanced to the rank of captain.

EDWARD HAWKER, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1804.]
This officer is a son of the late Captain James Hawker, who commanded the Hero 74, forming part of Commodore Johnstone’s squadron, at Porto Praya, in 1781.
He received his first commission in 1796? and subsequently served as senior Lieutenant of the Garland and Thames frigates. In June 1803, he was appointed to the command of the Swift, hired cutter; and from her promoted into the Mignonne sloop of war. His post commission bears date June 6, 1804.
A narrative of Captain Hawker’s proceedings in the Theseus 74, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Dacres, during a hurricane encountered by that ship and l’Hercule of the same force, between Sept. 4 and 15, 1804, will be found in the Naval Chronicle, at p. 477 et seq. of the 12th volume.
Immediately after this event, Captain Hawker was removed into the Tartar frigate, and sent from Jamaica to the Halifax station, where he captured l’Observateur, French national brig, of 18 guns and 104 men, June 9, 1806. In the course of the same year, he exchanged ships with Captain Poyntz of the Melampus; the Tartar being ordered to England under reduced masts, in consequence of the damages she had sustained in a recent hurricane.
At the commencement of 1809, we find Captain Hawker convoying a fleet of transports from Halifax to Barbadoes; and afterwards capturing le Colibri, another French brig of war mounting 16 guns, with a complement of 92 men, having on board 570 barrels of flour and a large quantity of gunpowder, for the relief of St. Domingo. The enemy’s vessel on this occasion had the temerity to fire into the Melampus after she had got fairly alongside, and did not surrender until 3 of her crew were killed and 12 wounded. In Dec. following, Captain Hawker intercepted le Beauharnois of 16 guns and 109 men, laden with flour and warlike stores, from Bayonne bound to Guadaloupe. The Melampus, in effecting this capture, had 2 men wounded; the enemy, through persisting in her endeavours to escape, one man killed and several persons much injured.
​After assisting at the reduction of Guadaloupe, and capturing, in company with the Driver sloop of war, la Fantome, French letter of marque, pierced for 20 guns, with a complement of 74 men; Captain Hawker returned to the Halifax station, where he continued till 1812, at which period the Melampus was ordered to England, and put out of commission. He subsequently commanded the Bellerophon 74, and Salisbury 58, bearing the flag of Sir Richard G. Keats at Newfoundland, from whence he returned with that officer at the expiration of his government and command. Proceeding thither, in Dec. 1813, the Bellerophon captured le Genie French privateer, of 16 guns and 73 men.
