He studied at University College, London, and subsequently at the universities of Prague and Leipzig. He obtained his B.A. degree at the University of London in 1859, and that of Doctor of Philosophy at Leipzig in 1861. In 1863 Dr. Adler was appointed Principal of the Jews' College in London, and in the following year Chief Minister of the Bayswater Synagogue.

# Men of the Time, eleventh edition/Adams, John Couch

​ADAMS, John Couch, F.R.S., is the son of a small farmer near Bodmin, in Cornwall, where he was born about 1818. He entered at St. John's College, Cambridge, was Senior Wrangler in 1843, was soon after elected to a fellowship, and became one of the mathematical tutors of his college. In 1841 he applied himself to the investigation of the irregularities in the motion of Uranus, in order to find out whether they might be attributed to the action of some unknown planet, and thence, if possible, to determine approximately the elements of its orbit. In 1814, through Professor Challis, a correspondence was opened with the Astronomer Royal; and in October, 1845, Mr. Adams sent to the Greenwich Observatory a paper of results, showing that the perturbations of Uranus were caused by some planet within certain assumed limits. The Astronomer Royal wrote to him, Nov. 5, inquiring whether the perturbation would explain the error of the radius vector of Uranus; but from some unexplained cause, Mr. Adams delayed his reply. On the 10th of the same month M. Le Verrier published in the "Comptes Rendus" of the French Academy, a paper on "The Perturbation of Uranus produced by Jupiter and Saturn;" and the place assigned by him to the disturbing planet was the same, within one degree, as that calculated by Mr. Adams. The Council of the Royal Society doubted whether their annual medal was due to Mr. Adams or to M. Le Verrier; but ultimately, as there was no precedent in favour of bestowing a double medal, they decided on conferring a testimonial on each claimant instead. In January, 1847, Mr. Adams privately circulated a paper explanatory of "The observed Irregularities in the Motion of Uranus," which was subsequently reprinted in the "Nautical Almanack" for 1851. In 1858 he succeeded the late Dean Peacocke as Lowndean Professor of Astronomy at Cambridge.

# Modern Russian Poetry/The Aerial City

THE AERIAL CITY
At daybreak there spread through the heavens
Pale clouds like a turreted town:
The cupolas golden, fantastic,
White roofs and white walls shining down.
This citadel is my white city,
My city familiar and dear,
Above the dark earth as it slumbers,
Upon the pink sky builded clear.
And all that aerial city
Sails northward, sails softly, sails high;
And there on the height, some one beckons,— But proffers no pinions to fly.

# Modern Russian Poetry/The Birch Tree

THE BIRCH TREE
Upon an amber day I loved you first,
When, summoned by the radiant azure,
From every grateful twig there burst
Sweet indolence in dripping measure.
Your whitely shining body gleamed as white
As heady foam on lakes unfolding,
Gay laughing Lel drew out the bright
Black hair, its beauty lightly holding.
Himself, the god Yarila crowned your hair
With garlands green in gorgeous pleasure,
And flung it, plaited, to the air:
Green glory tossed upon the azure.
* ↑ The Russian Pan.
* ↑ The Russian Dionysos.

# Modern Russian Poetry/Summer Rain

SUMMER RAIN
"Golden rain! Golden rain! out of the sky!"
Children sing out and run after the rain.
"Quiet, my children, we'll reap it again,
Only we'll gather the gold in the grain— In the full granaries fragrant with rye."

# Modern Russian Poetry/Swallows

SWALLOWS
Calm Nature's idle spy, I follow
In joy her pathways; free and fond,
I watch the arrow-winged swift swallow
Who curves above the dusking pond.
It dashes forward, lightly skimming
The glassy surface, half in fear
Of alien clutching waters—dimming
The lightning wings before they veer.
And once again the same quick daring,
And once again the same dark stream. . . .
Is not this flight our human faring?
Is not this urge our human dream?
Thus I, frail vessel, am forbidden
To take the foreign road, and dip
To scoop a drop; the ways are hidden
Of alien streams I may not sip.

# Modern Russian Poetry/The Angel

Written in 1831, first published in 1840.
THE ANGEL
Through the heavens of midnight an angel was sped
Who lifted his chant as he fled.
The moon and the clouds and the stars leaned to hear
The song rising holy and clear.
He sang of the spirits, the sinless, the blest,
Who softly in Paradise rest.
Of the gardens of God, and of God was his song,
Ringing true as a heavenly gong.
He bore a young soul to the dark gates of birth,
Toward the travailing, sorrowful earth.
And flying, he sang, and the eager soul heard
The deathless, the unuttered Word.
And the years in the world could but sadden and tire
The soul filled with wondrous desire.
And vainly the dull songs of earth would have stilled
The song wherewith heaven had thrilled.

# Modern Russian Poetry/Stigmata

STIGMATA
Whose the flying hands, about me shedding
Fire, and leading me on passionate ways?
No sonorous stones my feet are treading,
But where vatic waters fill the days.
Piercing through the spirit, sharp pilasters
Rise, and candle sting the dark like bees.
Oh, the hearts that bloom like crimson asters,
Petalled with gold-bladed ecstasies.
Now the evening on the temple flinging
Patterned, carven crimson, shines and mourns.
Oh, the pale brow to the altar clinging,
Stung anew with stinging scarlet thorns!
The whole soul, high vaults and portals glowing,
Fear like incense swathes with dim blue bands:
Ah, I know you, sacred corals, growing
On the pierced palms of these outstretched hands.

# Modern Russian Poetry/The Amphora

THE AMPHORA
In a gay jar upon his shoulder The slave morosely carries wine. His road is rough with bog and boulder, And in the sky no starlights shine. Into the dark with stabbing glances He peers, his careful steps are slow, Lest on his breast as he advances The staining wine should overflow.
I bear my amphora of sorrow, Long brimming with the wine it hides; There poison for each waiting morrow Ferments within the painted sides. I follow secret ways and hidden To guard the evil vessel, lest A careless hand should pour unbidden Its bitterness upon my breast.

# Modern Russian Poetry/The Catch

THE CATCH
Now the golden leafage is beggared. Shining through the porches of autumn, Shows the cool blue stillness of heaven. Lo, the thin-trunked grove is transcended: Carved in stone, a columned cathedral. Smoke-scrolls wind about the frail friezes; Flung above the doors is a curtain— Open-work: like nets of God's fishers That the catch has slipped through and broken, Like thy tatters, sacred and lovely, At the entrance of a white temple, Oh thou golden mendicant music!

# Modern Russian Poetry/The Coming Huns

Written in 1904-5, first published in 1905.
THE COMING HUNS
"Trample their Paradise, Attila!"
—Vyacheslav Ivanov.
Where do you stray, heavy Huns,
Who weigh on the world like a cloud?
Far, under Asian suns,
Your cast-iron tread is loud.
Swoop down in a drunken horde
From your dark encampments, rise
In a tide of crimson poured
Over this land that dies.
O slaves of freedom, pitch
Your tent by the palace gate.
Plow deep, dig wide the ditch
Where the throne shone on your hate.
Heap books to build a fire!
Dance in their ruddy light.
Foul altar steps with mire:
You are children in our sight.
And we, the poets, the wise,
From the onslaught that darkens and raves,
Defending the torch you despise,
Shall hold it in deserts and caves.
Under the scattering storm,
The tempests that raven and tear,
What will the hazards of harm
From our long labor spare?
All that we only knew
Shall perish and sink and grow dim.
But you who shall slay me, you
I salute with hosanna and hymn.

# Mediation of the Railroad Labor Dispute, 1933

This proclamation dealt with failed federal mediation to settle labor disputes and the creation of a new board to handle the issue.
WHEREAS the President, having been duly notified by the Board of Mediation that disputes between the Kansas City Southern Railway Company, the Texarkana and Fort Smith Railway Company and the Arkansas Western Railway Company, carriers, and certain of their employees represented by
Order of Railway Conductors; Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers; Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen; Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen;
which disputes have not been heretofore adjusted under the provisions of the Railway Labor Act, now threaten substantially to interrupt interstate commerce within the States of Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas, to a degree such as to deprive that section of the country of essential transportation service;

* ↑ Exactly the same system of education, it will be observed, as prevailed in ancient times, and calculated to instil the same prejudices.Romæ nutriri mihi contigit atque doceri, Iratus Graiis quantum nocuisset Achilles.

* ↑ Lord Byron covets the glory of being chiefly distinguished in the overthrow of this poetical canon; otherwise it might possibly survive the destruction of the rest. His lordship seems, however, to have had the twofold ambition of overthrowing the canons for wit, as well as poetry. His glory would be doubled, if, besides his exploits in verse, he could teach mankind to admire a species of wit, utterly unknown to Rabelais, and to him, who is named by the French Rabelais perfectionné, by the English, Dean Swift. I subjoin a specimen of the witticisms recommended by the noble lord's example. If I estimate it rightly, it dispenses with the difficulty of providing point, and seasonableness of introduction, and novelty. In the last confession of the Giaour, the attention of the reader is drawn from the hero of the tale to attend to the following observations of the author: "The monk's sermon is omitted. It seems to have had so little effect upon the patient, that it could have no hopes from the reader. It may be sufficient to say, that it was of a customary length, (as may be perceived from the interruptions and uneasiness of the penitent,) and was delivered in the nasal tone of all orthodox preachers."

MODERN PARNASSUS;
OR, THE
NEW ART OF POETRY.
PART I.
THE REFORMATION.
ARGUMENT.
* ↑ The time prescribed by Horace for suppressing a composition for the purpose of improvement, is somewhat abridged by Vida; but, according to the latter, it is at least three years.Tuque adeo vitæ usque memor brevioris, ubi annos Post aliquot (neque enim numerum, neque tempora pono Certa tibi) addideris decoris satis atque nitoris; Rumpe moras, opus ingentem dimitte per orbem Perque manus, perque ora virúm, permitte vagari. Poet. lib. iii, 520.
* ↑ It must be allowed that this generous determination to be pleased was not wholly unknown in former times; but it was never hailed with equal acclamation, and was soon ill naturedly laughed out of countenance.. . . . . . Ainsi qu'en sots auteurs, Notre siècle est fertile en sots admirateurs: Et sans ceux que fournit la ville et la province, Tl en est chez le duc, il en est chez le prince. L'ouvrage le plus plat a, chez les courtisans, De tout temps rencontré de zélés partisans; Et pour finir enfin par un trait de satire, Un sot trouve toujours un plus sot qui l'admire. Boileau, L'Art. Poet. ch. i.
* ↑ It is truly astonishing to observe what pains were taken by the poetical critics of the ancient school to enforce this doctrine, as if they had foreseen with envy that their posterity would one day or other throw off the yoke. Monsieur Boileau is not satisfied, like Horace and Pope, with a single mention of it, but brings it forward in two places.Et ne savez-vous pas, que sur ce mont sacré, Qui ne vole au sommet, tombe au plus bas dégré: Et qu'à moins d'etre au rang d'Horace, ou de Voiture, On rampe dans la fange avec l'Abbé de Pure?. Sat. ix, 24. Il est dans tout autre art des dégrés differens. On peut avec honneur remplir les seconds rangs: Mais dans l'art dangereux de rimer et d'écrire, Il n'est point de dégrés du médiocre au pire, Les vers ne souffrent point de médiocre auteur, Ses ecrits en tous lieux sont l'effroi du lecteur, L'Art. Poet. ch. iv.
* ↑ The account of these unfortunate poets is found in opening page of Juvenal, and is thus most effectually forced upon the notice of every reader. He who has seen only the first fourteen lines of that unmerciful satirist, knows their unhappy fate. One seems to have laboured most abundantly for fame. The Orestes, we are told, filled an immense volume, first written from beginning to end, then as close as possible over the margin of every page, anf finally on the covers and even the back. Yet, after all, it was only a fragment.. . . . . summi plenâ jam margine libri Scriptus et in tergo, necdum finitus Orestes.

THE NEW CHARTER.
ARGUMENT.
* ↑ I have adduced a specimen of this kind of poetry, from Mr. Montgomery's Wanderer of Switzerland. The fifth edition of that work must afford great encouragement to all, whose chief or sole reliance is on versification. Shep. Wand. Ws. Wife. Wand. Ws. Wife. Man of suff'ring, such a tale Would wring tears from marble eyes! Ha! my daughter's cheek grows pale! Help!—Oh, help!—my daughter dies! Calm thy transports, O, my wife! Peace, for these sweet orphans' sake! Oh, my joy! my hope! my life! Oh, my child! my child! awake! Page 47.
* ↑ The specimens are before every reader in the "Lay of the last Minstrel," "Curse of Kehama," &c. &c.
* ↑ Although Thalaba the Destroyer is pretty generally known, I shall produce an illustration of the above rule, taken at random from that singular work: premising, how ever, that we, of the modern school, may think ourselves happy, that we have been able to retain Mr. Southey on our side. It is notorious, that the opposite party, aware that his talents would give splendour to any style, which he adopted, have employed their warmest expostulations and severest censure, to shake his constancy, and seduce his affections from the muse of his choice.Not in the desert, Son of Hodeirah, Wert thou abandon'd! The coexistent fire, That in the dens of darkness burnt for thee, Burns yet, and yet shall burn. In the Domdaniel caverns, Under the roots of the ocean, Met the masters of the spell. &c. &c. &c.Book ii.

* ↑ Crispinus minimo me provocat, accipe si vis, Accipiam tabulas, detur nobis locus, hora, Custodes, videamus uter plus scribere possit. Hor. lib. i, sat, iv, 13.
* ↑ The current price for lines, taken one with another, short and long, has been, I am told, half a crown each. The loss, therefore, must be very considerable, to a man of narrow fortune, if he suppress, for the space of a year only, a poem of half a dozen cantos, containing several thousand lines. It is glorious for the cause of literature, that there is no longer any room for such remarks as the following: Haud tamen invideas Vati, quem pulpita pascunt. . . . . . . . . . Nunc utile multis, Pallere, et vinum toto nescire Decembri. Juv. sat. vii, 93.
