Balak: empty; spoiler, a son of Zippor, and king of the Moabites (Numbers 22:2,4). From fear of the Israelites, who were encamped near the confines of his territory, he applied to Balaam (which see) to curse them; but in vain (Joshua 24:9).

Nero Occurs only in the superscription (which is probably spurious, and is altogether omitted in the R.V.) to the Second Epistle to Timothy. He became emperor of Rome when he was about seventeen years of age (A.D. 54), and soon began to exhibit the character of a cruel tyrant and heathen debauchee. In May A.D. 64, a terrible conflagration broke out in Rome, which raged for six days and seven nights, and totally destroyed a great part of the city. The guilt of this fire was attached to him at the time, and the general verdict of history accuses him of the crime. "Hence, to suppress the rumour," says Tacitus (Annals, xv. 44), "he falsely charged with the guilt, and punished with the most exquisite tortures, the persons commonly called Christians, who are hated for their enormities. Christus, the founder of that name, was put to death as a criminal by Pontius Pilate, procurator of Judea, in the reign of Tiberius; but the pernicious superstition, repressed for a time, broke out again, not only throughout Judea, where the mischief originated, but through the city of Rome also, whither all things horrible and disgraceful flow, from all quarters, as to a common receptacle, and where they are encouraged. Accordingly, first three were seized, who confessed they were Christians. Next, on their information, a vast multitude were convicted, not so much on the charge of burning the city as of hating the human race. And in their deaths they were also made the subjects of sport; for they were covered with the hides of wild beasts and worried to death by dogs, or nailed to crosses, or set fire to, and, when day declined, burned to serve for nocturnal lights. Nero offered his own gardens for that spectacle, and exhibited a Circensian game, indiscriminately mingling with the common people in the habit of a charioteer, or else standing in his chariot; whence a feeling of compassion arose toward the sufferers, though guilty and deserving to be made examples of by capital punishment, because they seemed not to be cut off for the public good, but victims to the ferocity of one man." Another Roman historian, Suetonius (Nero, xvi.), says of him: "He likewise inflicted punishments on the Christians, a sort of people who hold a new and impious superstition" (Forbes's Footsteps of St. Paul, p. 60).
Nero was the emperor before whom Paul was brought on his first imprisonment at Rome, and the apostle is supposed to have suffered martyrdom during this persecution. He is repeatedly alluded to in Scripture (Acts 25:11; Phil. 1:12, 13; 4:22). He died A.D. 68.

New Testament (Luke 22:20), rather "New Covenant," in contrast to the old convenant of works, which is superseded. "The covenant of grace is called new; it succeeds to the old broken covenant of works. It is ever fresh, flourishing, and excellent; and under the gospel it is dispensed in a more clear, spiritual, extensive, and powerful manner than of old". (Brown of Haddington). Hence is derived the name given to the latter portion of the Bible. (See TESTAMENT.)

Nehemiah, Book of The author of this book was no doubt Nehemiah himself. There are portions of the book written in the first person (ch. 1-7; 12:27-47, and 13). But there are also portions of it in which Nehemiah is spoken of in the third person (ch. 8; 9; 10). It is supposed that these portions may have been written by Ezra; of this, however, there is no distinct evidence. These portions had their place assigned them in the book, there can be no doubt, by Nehemiah . He was the responsible author of the whole book, with the exception of ch. 12:11, 22, 23.
The date at which the book was written was probably about B.C. 431-430, when Nehemiah had returned the second time to Jerusalem after his visit to Persia.
The book, which may historically be regarded as a continuation of the book of Ezra, consists of four parts. (1.) An account of the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem, and of the register Nehemiah had found of those who had returned from Babylon (ch. 1-7). (2.) An account of the state of religion among the Jews during this time (8-10). (3.) Increase of the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the census of the adult male population, and names of the chiefs, together with lists of priests and Levites (11-12:1-26). (4.) Dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the arrangement of the temple officers, and the reforms carried out by Nehemiah (12:27-ch. 13).
This book closes the history of the Old Testament. Malachi the prophet was contemporary with Nehemiah .

BONPLAND, Aimé, French traveller and botanist, was born at Rochelle, August 22, 1773. After serving as a surgeon in the French navy and studying under Corvisart at Paris, he accompanied Humboldt during five years of travel in Mexico, Colombia, and the districts bordering on the Orinoco and Amazon. In these explorations Bonpland collected and classified about 6000 plants till then mostly unknown in Europe, which he afterwards described in Plantes Equinoxiales, &c. (Paris, 1808-1816). On returning to Paris he received a pension and the superintendence of the gardens at Malmaison, became acquainted with Gay-Lussac, Arago, and other eminent scientists, and published Monographie des Mélastomées (1806), and Description des plantes rares de Navarre. After vainly endeavouring to persuade Napoleon to retire to America, he set out, in 1816, with various European plants for Buenos Ayres, where he was elected professor of natural history, an office which he soon quitted in order to explore Central South America. While journeying to Bolivia he was arrested as a spy, in 1821, by command of Dr Francia, who detained him a prisoner at Santa Marta until 1831, during which time he acted with great disinterestedness as a physician to the neighbouring poor. On regaining liberty he resided at San Borje in the province of Corrientes, until his removal in 1853 to Santa Anna, where he occupied himself in scientific research, and in cultivating the orange trees which he had introduced. He was widely respected, and was presented with an estate worth 10,000 piastres by the Government of Corrientes. His intention of revisiting Paris was frustrated by his death at Santa Anna in 1858.

SONNET XXI.
SUPPOSED TO BE WRITTEN BY WERTER.
GO! cruel tyrant of the human breast!  To other hearts thy burning arrows bear; Go, where fond Hope, and fair Illusion rest;  Ah! why should Love inhabit with Despair? Like the poor maniac I linger here,  Still haunt the scene where all my treasure lies; Still seek for flowers where only thorns appear,  'And drink delicious poison from her eyes!' Tow'rds the deep gulf that opens on my sight  I hurry forward, Passion's helpless slave! And scorning Reason's mild and sober light,  Pursue the path that leads me to the grave! So round the flame the giddy insect flies,  And courts the fatal fire by which it dies!

SONNET XVIII.
TO THE EARL OF EGREMONT.
WYNDHAM! 'tis not thy blood, tho' pure it runs  Through a long line of glorious ancestry, Percys and Seymours, Britain's boasted sons,  Who trust the honors of their race to thee:
'Tis not thy splendid domes, where Science loves  To touch the canvas, and the bust to raise; Thy rich domains, fair fields, and spreading groves;  'Tis not all these the Muse delights to praise:
In birth, and wealth, and honours, great thou art!  But nobler in thy independent mind; And in that liberal hand and feeling heart  Given thee by Heaven—a blessing to mankind!  Unworthy oft may titled fortune be; A soul like thine——is true Nobility!

TO SOLITUDE.
O SOLITUDE! to thy sequester'd vale  I come to hide my sorrow and my tears, And to thy echoes tell the mournful tale  Which scarce I trust to pitying Friendship's ears! Amidst thy wild-woods, and untrodden glades,  No sounds but those of melancholy move; And the low winds that die among thy shades,  Seem like soft Pity's sighs for hopeless love! And sure some story of despair and pain,  In yon deep copse thy murm'ring doves relate; And, hark, methinks in that long plaintive strain,  Thine own sweet songstress weeps my wayward fate! Ah, Nymph! that fate assist me to endure,  And bear awhile—what Death alone can cure!
