# An Index of Prohibited Books (1840)/Part 5 - Note

NOTE.
The leaf in the Venetian Catalogue of 1554, signature b, which was defective in my copy, and for which a leaf of explanation was substituted, has been most kindly and unexpectedly supplied by an individual, with whom I am thus happy to become acquainted, — Friederick Lorenz Hoffman, Doctor of Laws and Censor, in Hamburg, who possesses a perfect copy of the Catalogue, and has had the goodness to send me enclosed in a very friendly and flattering letter, a transcript of the leaf absent from mine, and which is now printed. The letter is dated April 21, 1842, just a fortnight before the commencement of the calamitous conflagration at Hamburg; from which, I trust to hear my friend and his books have escaped.
The name Daczer, which disappears in the Catalogue of 1559, and in all subsequent, is, I have no doubt, agreeably to the conjecture of Mr. Bohn, who has rendered me important assistance relative to the above communication, Decanus Pataviensis (Passau), who does appear in the next and later Catalogues; and Gigas Nortus amoy (so printed) should, as evidently, according to the correction of ​Dr. Hoffmann, be Gigas Northusanus (Northausen), as it stands in the subsequent Catalogues.
This leaf may be either left in its place to follow the supplied leaf, or inserted after p. 72, or at the end of the volume.
# An Indian Study of Love and Death/A Litany of Love

A Litany of Love: Invocation
A Litany of Love
O Love, lifted high above all qualities and persons! Love, delivering from bondage, Love, casting out all fear, Love, in which the body has no part, Love, eternal—transcendent—universal, Love of the Sacred Heart, ever self-consumed in its own light,
To Thee our salutation. Thee we salute. Thee we salute. Thee we salute.
Soft wings of the divine Motherhood, Folding into their own depth and shadow all things that cannot bear the light, All little children crying out that they are lost, All error and defeat, all sin and sorrow, All loneliness and weakness, and all unprotectedness and simplicity of love; Thou the All-pitiful, folding us closer to one another beneath Thee,
To Thee our salutation. Thee we salute. Thee we salute. Thee we salute.
Thou Naked Sword of Purity! Thou, that cleavest all bondage, Thou, Destroyer of Ignorance, Thou, Refuser of attachments, Thou, that remainest ever Thyself, Supreme Love, that manifestest Thyself in Thy power, and passion is burnt to ashes. Wondrous Equanimity, Foundation-stone of holiness,
To Thee our salutation. Thee we salute. Thee we salute. Thee we salute.
Thou Tempest of the freedom of the soul! Wind of the spiritual mountains, Insatiable longing for self-sacriﬁce, Realisation of our self as all, Love for the sake of love, Work for the work’s own sake, Renunciation without an object,
To Thee our salutation. Thee we salute. Thee we salute. Thee we salute.
Love all transcendent, Tenderness unspeakable, Purity most awful, Freedom absolute, Light that lightest every man, Sweetest of the sweet, and Most Terrible of the terrible,
To Thee our salutation. Thee we salute. Thee we salute. Thee we salute.
O Inﬁnite Love, reveal to us Thy face! O Inﬁnite Love, awake and abide in us! O Inﬁnite Love, burn us till we be consumed! We desire not to possess Thee. We desire not to behold Thee. We desire to become one with Thee.

Chapter XV.—The Severity of God Compatible with Reason and Justice. When Inflicted, Not Meant to Be Arbitrary, But Remedial.
Consider well, then, before all things the justice of the Judge; and if its purpose be clear, then the severity thereof, and the operations of the severity in its course, will appear compatible with reason and justice. Now, that we may not linger too long on the point, (I would challenge you to) assert the other reasons also, that you may condemn the Judge’s sentences; extenuate the delinquencies of the sinner, that you may blame his judicial conviction. Never mind censuring the Judge; rather prove Him to be an unjust one. Well, then, even though He required the sins of the fathers at the hands of the children, the hardness of the people made such remedial measures necessary for them, in order that, having their posterity in view, they might obey the divine law. For who is there that feels not a greater care for his children than for himself? Again, if the blessing of the fathers was destined likewise for their offspring, previous to any merit on the part of these, why might not the guilt of the fathers also redound to their children? As was the grace, so was the offence; so that the grace and the offence equally ran down through the whole race, with the reservation, indeed, of that subsequent ordinance by which it became possible to refrain from saying, that “the fathers had eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth were set on edge:” in other words, that the father should not bear the iniquity of the son, nor the son the iniquity of the father, but that every man should be chargeable with his own sin; so that the harshness of the law having been reduced after the hardness of the people, justice was no longer to judge the race, but individuals. If, however, you accept the gospel of truth, you will discover on whom recoils the sentence of the Judge, when requiting on sons the sins of their fathers, even on those who had been (hardened enough) to imprecate spontaneously on themselves this condemnation: “His blood be on us, and on our children.” This, therefore, the providence of God has ordered throughout its course, even as it had heard it.

Chapter XXI.—The Law of the Sabbath-Day Explained. The Eight Days’ Procession Around Jericho. The Gathering of Sticks a Violation.
Similarly on other points also, you reproach Him with fickleness and instability for contradictions in His commandments, such as that He forbade work to be done on Sabbath-days, and yet at the siege of Jericho ordered the ark to be carried round the walls during eight days; in other words, of course, actually on a Sabbath. You do not, however, consider the law of the Sabbath: they are human works, not divine, which it prohibits. For it says, “Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work.” What work? Of course your own. The conclusion is, that from the Sabbath-day He removes those works which He had before enjoined for the six days, that is, your own works; in other words, human works of daily life. Now, the carrying around of the ark is evidently not an ordinary daily duty, nor yet a human one; but a rare and a sacred work, and, as being then ordered by the direct precept of God, a divine one. And I might fully explain what this signified, were it not a tedious process to open out the forms of all the Creator’s proofs, which you would, moreover, probably refuse to allow. It is more to the point, if you be confuted on plain matters by the simplicity of truth rather than curious reasoning. Thus, in the present instance, there is a clear distinction respecting the Sabbath’s prohibition of human labours, not divine ones. Accordingly, the man who went and gathered sticks on the Sabbath-day was punished with death. For it was his own work which he did; and this the law forbade. They, however, who on the Sabbath carried the ark round Jericho, did it with impunity. For it was not their own work, but God’s, which they executed, and that too, from His express commandment.

Chapter XII.—The Attributes of Goodness and Justice Should Not Be Separated. They are Compatible in the True God. The Function of Justice in the Divine Being Described.
Since, therefore, there is this union and agreement between goodness and justice, you cannot prescribe their separation. With what face will you determine the separation of your two Gods, regarding in their separate condition one as distinctively the good God, and the other as distinctively the just God? Where the just is, there also exists the good. In short, from the very first the Creator was both good and also just. And both His attributes advanced together. His goodness created, His justice arranged, the world; and in this process it even then decreed that the world should be formed of good materials, because it took counsel with goodness. The work of justice is apparent, in the separation which was pronounced between light and darkness, between day and night, between heaven and earth, between the water above and the water beneath, between the gathering together of the sea and the mass of the dry land, between the greater lights and the lesser, between the luminaries of the day and those of the night, between male and female, between the tree of knowledge of death and of life, between the world and paradise, between the aqueous and the earth-born animals. As goodness conceived all things, so did justice discriminate them. With the determination of the latter, everything was arranged and set in order. Every site and quality of the elements, their effect, motion, and state, the rise and setting of each, are the judicial determinations of the Creator. Do not suppose that His function as a judge must be defined as beginning when evil began, and so tarnish His justice with the cause of evil. By such considerations, then, do we show that this attribute advanced in company with goodness, the author of all things,—worthy of being herself, too, deemed innate and natural, and not as accidentally accruing to God, inasmuch as she was found to be in Him, her Lord, the arbiter of His works.

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Downes, John (author)

Edition of 1900.
​DOWNES, John, author, b. in Brooklyn, N. Y., 4 Sept., 1799; d. in Washington, D. C., 30 Sept., 1882. His father, John Downes, of New Haven, Conn., a descendant of one of the regicides of that name, died when his son was a few months old, and the mother removed to Shrewsbury, Mass. After his marriage, John removed to Boston and adopted music as a profession. He afterward became proficient as a wood-engraver and as a mathematician. After serving for a time on the board of the U. S. commission for the northeast boundary survey, he resided for a year or two in Worcester, and was engaged in making wood engravings for John W. Barber's historical collections. In 1842 Mr. Downes removed to Philadelphia, where he published the “U. S. Almanac,” and other astronomical and mathematical works. He removed to Washington, D. C., in 1856, and for more than twenty years was employed as a computer for the U. S. coast survey. When the “U. S. Nautical Almanac” was established, Mr. Downes was the first to receive an appointment as a computer, and retained it till his death. He collected many rare books. He was the author of “Peter Parley's Almanacs for Old and Young” (1836-'7); “Botany” (Boston, 1840); United States “Almanac Complete, or Ephemeris” (Philadelphia, 1843-'4). He also calculated mathematical tables, but only a part of them have been published.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Dorsheimer, William

Edition of 1900.
​DORSHEIMER, William, journalist, h. in Lyons, N. Y., 5 Feb., 1832; d. in Savannah, Ga., 26 March, 1888. His father was Philip Dorsheimer, a wealthy citizen of Buffalo, one of the founders of the republican party. William entered Harvard in 1849, but at the end of two years impaired health forced him to leave his studies. He was admitted to the bar in 1854. In politics he began as a Democrat, joined the Republican party in 1856, and in 1860 again supported the Republican ticket. In 1859 Harvard gave him the degree of M. A. At the beginning of the civil war he was appointed major on Gen. Frémont's staff, and at the close of the Missouri hundred-days' campaign Maj. Dorsheimer returned to civil life, and published a series of articles in the “Atlantic Monthly,” entitled “Frémont's Hundred Days in Missouri.” In 1867 he was appointed by President Johnson U. S. district attorney for the northern district of New York. His term expired in 1871. In the Democratic state convention of 1874 he was nominated for lieutenant-governor, with Samuel J. Tilden as candidate for governor, and both were elected, Mr. Dorsheimer having a majority of 51,488 over his opponent. In the prosecution of the measures against the Canal ring, Mr. Dorsheimer was an efficient worker. He was re-elected lieutenant-governor, serving from 1 Jan., 1875, till 1 Jan., 1880. In 1875 he was appointed a commissioner of the state survey, and in 1883 one of the commissioners of the state reservation at Niagara, being elected chairman of the latter commission. In 1882 he was elected to congress from the 7th district of New York, and became a member of the judiciary committee, and was also chairman on the part of the house of the joint committee having in charge the proceedings of congress on the completion of the Washington monument. He was a member of the Liberal Republican national convention held in Cincinnati in May, 1872, and also of the Democratic convention held in St. Louis in 1876, a member of the committee on resolutions in the latter body, and reported the platform. He contributed to periodical literature, delivered occasional addresses, and took part as a public speaker in various political canvasses. In 1884 he published a biography of Grover Cleveland, the Democratic candidate for the presidency, and in July, 1885, was appointed U. S. attorney for the southern district of New York, which office he resigned in March, 1886. In September, 1885, he purchased the New York “Star,” and began its publication as a daily paper on 15 Sept. of that year. Mr. Dorsheimer was one of the founders and original officers of the Buffalo fine arts academy and the Buffalo historical society.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Dowler, Bennet

Edition of 1900.
​DOWLER, Bennet, physician, b. in Elizabeth (now Moundsville), Ohio co., Va., 16 April, 1797; d. in New Orleans in 1879. He was graduated M. D. at the University of Maryland in 1827, and settled in Clarksburg, Harrison co., Va., where he was postmaster for four years, but in 1836 he removed to New Orleans, and was for a few years editor of the New Orleans “Medical and Surgical Journal.” Early in his career he began experimenting upon the human body, immediately or soon after death, and the results of his investigations, comprising some important discoveries relative to contractibility, calorification, capillary circulation, etc., were published in 1843-'4. Since then these and other original experiments have been extended and generalized by him. His researches on animal heat, in health, in disease, and after death, which have been published in various medical journals, have disclosed the fact that post-mortem calorification after death from fever, cholera, sunstroke, etc., rises in some cases much higher than its antecedent maximum during the progress of the trouble. Dr. Dowler began in 1845 a series of experiments in comparative physiology on the alligator of Louisiana, which led him to conclude that, after decapitation, the head and, especially, the trunk afford evidences of possessing the faculties of sensation and motion for hours, and that the headless trunk, deprived of all the senses but that of feeling, still retains the powers of perception and volition, and may act with intelligence in avoiding an irritant. As the result of those discoveries, he held that the functions and structure of the nervous system constitute a unity inconsistent with the assumption of four distinct and separate sets of nerves, and a corresponding four-fold set of functions. He was a fellow and founder of the Royal society of northern antiquities, Copenhagen, a permanent member of the American medical association, and founded the New Orleans academy of sciences. He is the author of a “Tableau of the Yellow Fever of 1853” (1854), and various other contributions to medical science.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Downey, John

Edition of 1900.
​DOWNEY, John, educator, b. in Germantown, Pa., in 1770; d. in Harrisburg, 21 July, 1827. He received a classical education in the old academy at Germantown, and in 1795 opened a Latin and grammar school in Harrisburg. At this time he proposed, in a letter to Gov. Thomas Mifflin, a plan of education that foreshadows the present public-school system, which placed him in the front rank of early American educators. This plan was pronounced by Henry Barnard, of Connecticut, far in advance of the age in which he lived. He was the first cashier in the Harrisburg bank, was one of the corporators of the Harrisburg and Middletown turnpike company, and was largely instrumental in the erection of the bridge over the Susquehanna. In 1817 he was a member of the Pennsylvania legislature. He wrote frequently for the press, and was the author of a series of humorous sketches under the signature of “Simon the Wagoner.” He compiled a work entitled “The Justice's Assistant.”
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Douglass, Margaret Crittenden

Edition of 1900.
​DOUGLASS, Margaret Crittenden, educator, b. in Washington, D. C. She removed at an early age to Charleston, S. C., where she married, and in 1845 to Norfolk. Va. She opened a school for the instruction of colored children, but it was broken up by the authorities in 1853, and she herself was imprisoned for a month in the common jail. She published a “Personal Narrative,” relating her experiences (Boston, 1854).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Downer, Samuel

Edition of 1900.
​DOWNER, Samuel, manufacturer, b. in Dorchester, Mass., 8 March, 1807; d. there, 20 Sept., 1881. He left school at fourteen, spent six years in a shipping house in Boston, and was received into partnership by his father, a West India merchant. He afterward engaged in the manufacture of sperm oil and candles, and in 1854 directed a series of experiments in producing hydro-carbon oils by distillation from various substances. From a kind of bituminous coal known as Albertite he obtained what is now called kerosene. The demand for this oil increased rapidly, and it was obtained from the Albertite till the discovery of petroleum in Pennsylvania in 1861. Another result of these experiments, made principally by Mr. Joshua Merrill, superintendent of the Downer works, was the discovery in 1869 of “mineral sperm oil,” and these and other products of the distillation of crude petroleum are manufactured by the company under Mr. Merrill's patents.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Downie, George

Edition of 1900.
​DOWNIE, George, British naval officer, b. in Ross, Ireland; d. near Plattsburg, N. Y., 11 Sept., 1814. He was the son of a clergyman, and entered the navy at an early age. He was engaged in the battle of Camperdown, served in the West Indies, and in 1813 was placed in command of the British fleet on the lakes of Canada. He commanded the squadron in the battle of Plattsburg, and was killed while gallantly fighting the American fleet under Commodore Macdonough.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Dowling, John

Edition of 1900.
​DOWLING, John, clergyman, b. in Pavensey, Sussex, England, 13 May, 1807; d. in Middletown, N. Y., 4 July, 1878. In an irregular way he acquired a classical education, and became a tutor in a classical institution in London in 1826. Three years later he established a boarding-school a few miles from Oxford, where he taught until 1832. In that year he emigrated to the United States and united with the Baptist church in Catskill, N. Y., where he was ordained. In 1834 he removed to Newport, R. I., and two years later was called to a church in New York. He afterward preached in Providence, Philadelphia, Newark, and other places. The degree of D. D. was conferred upon him by Transylvania university. Dr. Dowling's published works include “Vindication of the Baptists” (New York); “Exposition of the Prophecies” (1840); “Defence of the Protestant Scriptures” (1843); “History of Romanism” (1845), of which 30,000 copies were sold in less than ten years; “Power of Illustration”; “Nights and Mornings”; and “Judson Offering.” He edited a Conference hymn-book (1868); Noel's work on “Baptism,” the works of Lorenzo Dow, Conyer's “Middleton, on the Conformity of Popery and Paganism”; “Memoir of the Missionary Jacob Thomas”; and a translation from the French of Dr. Cote's work on “Romanism.” His son John W. died in 1892.
