​One by one the old coaching inns of London have disappeared, leaving behind them little or nothing but a name to remind us of those days when a glamour of romance attached to travelling by road, and when the hospitality of an inn was measured by an atmosphere of cosiness and comfort which do not obtain in hotels to-day, in spite, or perhaps because, of their luxuriousness.
Happily there remains the "George Inn" in Southwark to recall for us the allurement which those old inns possessed.
The object of the writer of this book has been to gather into a permanent form, as a memento for habitués and visitors, all that is known regarding this survival of the old coaching era.
If the following pages prove of interest to the reader equal to that the writer has experienced in collecting and arranging the material, the task will not have been in vain.
He has to thank Mr. Philip Norman, LL.D. for permission to quote from The Inns of Old Southwark and for the use of two of the pictures from it; and Miss Murray and Mr. T. W. Tyrrell for the use of several photographs.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Clepsydra

Edition of 1920. See also Water clock on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
CLEPSYDRA, klĕp-sī'drạ, or WATER-CLOCK, an instrument for the measurement of time by the escape of water from a vessel through an orifice. Its origin is extremely ancient, and has generally been attributed to the Egyptians. Two descriptions of clepsydra have been employed — one in which the water merely escapes through the orifice, the other in which the same level is constantly maintained by the introduction of a fresh supply of water, and a uniformity of efflux secured by retaining throughout an equal amount of pressure on the fluid as it issues from the bottom of the vessel. In one kind of water-clock the measure of time is registered on a dial-plate by means of a hydraulic apparatus acted on by the efflux of water from a cistern. The simpler form was used in Athenian courts where a speaker was allowed so much water for his speech, according to the importance of his case. The more complicated form is said to have been invented by Plato; or by Ctesibius, according to some. Both forms were introduced into Rome in 159 B.C. These instruments are now scarcely ever constructed.

Edition of 1920. See also Frederick Albert Cleveland on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
CLEVELAND, Frederick Albert, American economist; b. Sterling, Ill., 17 March 1865; d. 15 Oct. 1914. He was graduated at De Pauw University in 1890. He studied for the bar, but gave up practice in 1896 and
thereafter gave his entire attention to economics, first at the University of Chicago and then at the University of Pennsylvania. He was instructor in finance at the latter institution in 1900-03, and from 1903 to 1905 was professor of finance at the School of Commerce, New York University. He served as accounting expert on several commissions, including that on the finances of New York city (1905) and President Taft's commission on economy and efficiency (1911) which recommended a national budget. He was appointed director of the bureau of municipal research in 1907. His publications include ‘Growth of Democracy in the United States’ (1898); ‘Funds and their Uses’ (1902), school edition as ‘First Lessons in Finance’ (1903); ‘The Bank and the Treasury’ (1905); ‘Chapters on Municipal Administration and Accounting’ (1909); ‘Organized Democracy’ (1913); ‘Railroad Capitalization and Promotion,’ with F.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Click Beetle

Edition of 1920. See also Click beetle on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
CLICK BEETLE, a member of the family Elateridæ, also known as the snapping bug and skipjack. When disturbed these beetles curl up and lie on their backs on the ground for a few moments and then begin a series of springs into the air accompanied by a clicking sound. When the beetle lands on its feet it runs off. The larvæ, known as wireworms, are brownish yellow in color and often live several years before attaining maturity. They live under bark and in rotten stumps and some are found in the roots of grass, Indian corn or of certain vegetables. When in great numbers they do considerable damage. Fall plowing is considered the best remedy against them. There are about 500 species in America and 7,000 species are known altogether. Consult De Candeze, ‘Monographie dea élaterides’ (4 vols, Liège 1857-81); and Le Conte, ‘Revision of the Elateridæ of the United States’ (in Transactions of the Philosophical Society, Vol. X, Philadelphia 1853).
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Cleopatra's Needles

Edition of 1920. See also Cleopatra's Needle on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLES, two obelisks, formerly at Alexandria, one of which is now in New York, the other in London. They are made of red syenite, quarried at the First Cataract, and were originally erected by Thothmes III in the 40th year of his reign (about 1,460 B.C.) in front of the portico of the great temple of Heliopolis, the On of the Scriptures, and the place where Moses was born and brought up. From Heliopolis the two obelisks were removed to Alexandria in 13-12 B.C., as shown by inscriptions on the claw of one of the bronze crabs placed by the Romans under the corners of the obelisk when they set it up in Alexandria nearly 17 years after the death of Cleopatra. How, then, they came to be called Cleopatra's Needles is not apparent; but it may be conjectured that they had been removed by her order some time before they were set up on their second site, or that their removal was the carrying out of an intention formed by Cleopatra. Mr. (after Sir) Erasmus Wilson, to whom the credit may be awarded of having been chiefly instrumental in getting the British obelisk conveyed to London, assumes that the association of Cleopatra's name with the two obelisks represents the popularity of the queen and the affectionate regard of her subjects, rather than any participation of herself in their transport or erection. The obelisk now at London lay for a long time prostrate in the sand. In 1820 it was presented by Mehemet Ali to the British nation, but the British government never did anything for its removal, which was at last effected solely through the public spirit of several private individuals, the obelisk being erected on the Thames embankment in 1878. The other obelisk was presented to the United States by the Khedive of Egypt, and its transportation to its present position in Central Park, New York, where it was erected in 1881, was made possible by the liberality of W. H. Vanderbilt. It stands upon four bronze crabs, reproductions of the original crabs upon which the obelisk formerly stood. Two of the originals are now in the Metropolitan Museum, New York. The “needle” in London is somewhat the taller of the two, being 68 feet 5½ inches in height, as against 67 feet 2 inches, the height of the other. The lateral measurements at the base are, in the British obelisk, 7 feet 5 inches in one pair of opposite sides and 7 feet 10½ inches in the other pair; in the one in New York, 7 feet 9¾ inches, and 8 feet 2¼ inches. The weight of the British obelisk is rather more than 186 tons, and its mass 2,529 cubic feet. Both obelisks are inscribed with
hieroglyphs, engraved to a depth of several inches and carefully polished. The hieroglyphs are inscribed in vertical columns, which are read from the top downward; and in each case the middle column is in honor of Thothmes, by whom the obelisks were first erected, and the side columns in honor of Rameses II.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Cliff

Edition of 1920. See also Cliff on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
CLIFF. Nearly vertical rock walls are formed in a variety of ways by natural means. In the development of a drainage system in any high-lying tract of country, ravines, gorges, and canyons are formed by the down-cutting streams, as Watkins Glen, N. Y., the gorge of the Niagara River and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. After long erosion the softer rocks may be removed, leaving the harder with steep faces standing above the surrounding country, as at the Delaware Water Gap, in the Catskills and many places in the Appalachian Mountains. In high mountains glaciers dig out deep channels. Cliffs formed in these ways may be called cliffs of erosion. Where a high coast borders any large body of water the waves eating into the land form cliffs, as on the northern shores of Scotland, southern England, the coast of Maine and elsewhere. Such cliffs may be called sea cliffs. Cliffs may also be formed
by the rock fractures known as “faults,” where the rocks on one side of a fracture rise faster than they are worn down by weathering. Such cliffs are not uncommon; they are found in many parts of the West, being especially prominent in arid regions like the Colorado plateau, where weathering is slow. Such cliffs may be called “fault cliffs.”
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Clients

Edition of 1920. See also Patronage in ancient Rome on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
CLIENTS, citizens of the lower ranks in ancient Rome who chose a patron from the higher classes, whose duty it was to assist them in legal cases, and to take a paternal care of them. The clients, on the other hand, were obliged to portion the daughters of the patron if he had not sufficient fortune, to follow him to the wars, to ransom him if taken prisoner and to vote for him if he was candidate for an office. If a client died without issue and had made no will, his property fell to the patron. Clients and patrons were under mutual obligation not to accuse each other, not to bear witness against each other and in general not to do one another injury. This relation continued till the time of the emperors. It may be considered as the transition from a patriarchal state, in which family relations are predominant, to a well-developed political system, securing the rights and independence of the individual. In modern law, a client is one who retains or consults an attorney or counsellor at law for advice, or to manipulate any action at law or to represent him in legal matters. The strictest confidence is required of the attorney, the breach of which may be heavily punished.
# The Gilded Age/Preface

PREFACE.
This book was not written for private circulation among friends; it was not written to cheer and instruct a diseased relative of the author’s; it was not thrown off during intervals of wearing labor to amuse an idle hour. It was not written for any of these reasons, and therefore it is submitted without the usual apologies.
It will be seen that it deals with an entirely ideal state of society; and the chief embarrassment of the writers in this realm of the imagination has been the want of illustrative examples. In a State where there is no fever of speculation, no inflamed desire for sudden wealth, where the poor are all simple-minded and contented, and the rich are all honest and generous, where society is in a condition of primitive purity and politics is the occupation of only the capable and the patriotic, there are necessarily no materials for such a history as we have constructed out of an ideal commonwealth.
No apology is needed for following the learned custom of placing attractive scraps of literature at the heads of our chapters. It has been truly observed by Wagner that such headings, with their vague suggestions of the matter which is to follow them, pleasantly inflame the reader’s interest without wholly satisfying his curiosity, and we will hope that it may be found to be so in the present case.
Our quotations are set in a vast number of tongues; this is done for the reason that very few foreign nations among whom the book will circulate can read in any language but their own; whereas we do not write for a particular class or sect or nation, but to take in the whole world.
We do not object to criticism; and we do not expect that ​the critic will read the book before writing a notice of it. We do not even expect the reviewer of the book will say that he has not read it. No, we have no anticipations of anything unusual in this age of criticism. But if the Jupiter, who passes his opinion on the novel, ever happens to peruse it in some weary moment of his subsequent life, we hope that he will not be the victim of a remorse bitter but too late.
One word more. This is—what it pretends to be—a joint production, in the conception of the story, the exposition of the characters, and in its literal composition. There is scarcely a chapter that does not bear the marks of the two writers of the book.
