# The New Student's Reference Work/Kingsley, Charles

See also Charles Kingsley on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Kings′ley, Charles, an English clergyman and author, was born on June 12, 1819. He graduated at Cambridge in 1842 with high honors, and two years later became the rector of Eversley, in Hampshire, where he remained until his death. Kingsley attained a world-wide fame both as preacher and writer, He threw himself with the greatest zeal and energy into various schemes for the improvement of the English working-classes, and in 1849 published two novels, Alton Locke and Yeast, both of which dealt with modern social questions in a bold and original manner. The influence of these books at the time of their publication was a great one, and caused the name of Christian Socialist to be applied to Kingsley. In 1853 he published Hypatia, a brilliant picture of Christianity in the fifth century in conflict with Greek philosophy. Hereward the Wake, which appeared in 1866, was his last novel. His other important works include the novels Westward Ho and Two Years Ago, and the charming fairy tale, The Water Babies, together with a volume of poems and one embracing Prose Idylls. His death occurred on Jan. 23, 1875. See his Life by his widow.

United States Supreme Court
299 U.S. 198
The Pep Boys, Manny, Moe & Jack of California v. Pyroil Sales Company
Argued: Nov. 12, 1936. --- Decided: Dec 7, 1936
These appeals involve the question of the constitutionality of sections 1 and 1 1/2 of the California Fair Trade Act, as amended, Cal.St.1931, p. 583, Cal.St.1933, p. 793, Deering's Gen.Laws of California, 1931, vol. 3, and Supp.1933, Act 8782, printed in the margin. It will be seen upon comparison that they are substantially identical with sections 1 and 2 of the Illinois act (Smith-Hurd Ill.Stats. c. 121 1/2, §§ 188, 189), which we have just sustained in Old Dearborn Distributing Company v. Seagram-Distillers Corporation, 299 U.S. 183, 57 S.Ct. 139, 81 L.Ed. 109.
In the present cases suits were brought by appellees against appellants to enjoin the latter from alleged violations of section 1 1/2. The sufficiency of the complaints was challenged by demurrer, the facts alleged being, therefore, admitted. The trial courts, upon these facts, held the section invalid, and appeals were taken to the state supreme court. In that court, No. 79 was first heard; the view of the trial courts was rejected; and the section held to be constitutionally valid. 5 Cal.(2d) 446, 55 P.(2d) 177. Upon the authority of that decision, No. 55 was also reversed. 5 Cal.(2d) 784, 55 P.(2d) 194, 1186. The decrees of the trial courts entered on the orders sustaining demurrers without leave to amend were reversed; and respondents (appellants here) having elected to stand on their demurrers, the trial courts were ordered to enter judgment in favor of appellants (appellees here), as prayed for in their complaints.
The questions presented and the facts involved are substantially the same as those which were present in the two suits involved in the Old Dearborn Distributing Company Case; and upon that authority, the decrees entered in the court below are affirmed.
Mr. Justice STONE took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Venation

See also Leaf#Venation (arrangement of the veins) on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Vena'tion, the arrangement of veins in leaves. The details of this arrangement are endless, but they may be reduced to two principal types. The two main types are known as closed and as open venation. In the former case, while the veins branch, they always run into one another, never having tree ends among the leaf-cells or in the leaf-margins. As a consequence, such leaves have even outlines, that is, they are not toothed or lobed. A very common form of the closed venation is that in which the main veins run parallel from base to apex, as in the grass-blade, and leaves of other monocotyledons. Such leaves are called parallel-veined. In other cases of closed venation, as in palms, bananas etc., the main veins are not parallel. The closed venation is characteristic of the monocotyledons. In open venation, characteristic of dicotyledons, the ultimate branches end freely, either among the leaf-cells or in the leaf-margins. Such leaves are said to be net-veined or reticulate, and they are much inclined to become toothed, lobed or compound. There are two forms of open venation: pinnate or feather-veined leaves, in which there is a main central vein or rib (midrib), from which the whole vein system, arises; and palmate leaves, in which three or more main ribs rise together at the base of the leaf, and diverge upward. In the ferns the venation is open, but the veins fork repeatedly, such a venation being called dichotomous.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Veneer

See also Wood veneer on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Veneer', a layer of wood cut very thin for the purpose of being glued to the surface of a more common kind. Only choice kinds of hard wood are sawed into veneers, and they are usually attached to pine or some other kind of soft wood, so as to give all the appearance of being made solid. In this way the more costly kinds of furniture-woods are economically used by the cabinetmaker; for, with the improvements that have been made in the process of sawing, veneers as thin as paper can be produced.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Venice

See also Venice on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Venice (vĕn'ĭs) or Venezia, a city of northern Italy, is built upon a crowded cluster of islets in the lagoon of Venice, which is separated from a gulf of the Adriatic by a long and narrow sandbank, divided into a number of small islands by six narrow sea-passages. Inside of this sandbank and between it and the mainland, about four miles distant, is the lagoon, in some parts of which islets have formed, firm enough to be built upon and fertile enough to be cultivated. Here the city of Venice is built. As the islands in many places afford no suitable foundations for buildings, the city is largely built upon piles or stone. In the vicinity of Venice the ebbing tide lays bare a great plain of mud, laced by a network of narrow channels from which the sea never retires, while at high water the whole surface is covered by the sea to the depth of one or two feet. The city of marble palaces seems to rise like a vision out of the sea. This alone suffices to make it at all times an object of fascination, but in summer and autumn, the season of the highest tides, when the grand place of St. Mark's is partially flooded, the city is marvelously beautiful, and must continue to be a place of interest so long as it stands. The present population is 160,000. Although the many marshy islands extending along the northwestern shores of the Adriatic are known to have been used by the inhabitants of Venetia, one of the provinces into which Italy was divided by Constantine, as places of retreat from barbarian invasions as early as the 5th century, the first permanent settlement on the site of the present city cannot be traced farther back than the beginning of the 9th century. The physical conditions with which the early inhabitants had to contend could hardly have been more unfavorable to the development of a great and prosperous city. The soil possessed no kind of mineral wealth, the thickets which diversified the surface of the barren marshes produced no valuable timber, good drinking-water was hardly to be obtained; yet it was here that the Venetians by their energy, their industry and their genius for commerce succeeded in establishing and maintaining their independence, in making other nations their tributaries, in sending their fleets to distant shores, in controlling the destiny of empires and in building up a naval power unique in history. Venice may be said to have risen out of the ruins of the Roman empire and to have maintained its separate nationality through the middle ages and down to 1797, when Napoleon Bonaparte entered the city, proclaimed the republic at an end and transferred her territory to Austria. In 1806 the city with the territory of Venetia was annexed to Italy by the treaty of Pressburg, but it was again transferred to Austria in 1814, under whose dominion it remained until 1866, when it was once more incorporated in the kingdom of Italy.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Vector

See also Vector on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Vec'tor is a term employed by mathematicians to denote a directed magnitude, that is, a quantity which has both direction and magnitude.
As examples of vector quantities may be mentioned the distance between any two given points, a velocity, a force, an acceleration, angular velocity, intensity of magnetization flux of heat.
Quantities, such as a quart of water, a pound of sugar, temperature, a quantity of energy, which do not have direction, are called scalars. See Maxwell's Matter and Motion and Tait's Newton's Laws of Motion.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Venus (mythology)

See also Venus (mythology) on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Ve'nus, the Roman goddess of love, subsequently identified with the Greek Aphrodite. Originally, Venus does not seem to have occupied a conspicuous place in the religion of the Romans, and she scarcely figures in the history of Rome under the kings; but gradually, as the myth of the Trojan origin of Rome gained ground, the worship of Venus emerged into importance. Aphrodite was the mother of Æneas, and Aphrodite became Venus. Ares was Mars, and Mars was the national god of the Roman people; then, as in Greek mythology Aphrodite was beloved of Ares, so Venus was represented as the paramour of Mars, and thus was advanced by the poets to the dignity of the divine mother of the Roman people. Several temples were erected to her in Rome at different times and under different names, and rites were celebrated in her honor during the month of April—the springtime of the year being thought favorable to the growth of the tender emotions.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Veda

See also Vedas on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Veda (vāfdȧ or vē'dȧ), (literally, knowledge) is the name of those ancient Sanskrit works on which the first period of the religious belief of the Hindus is based. The oldest of these works is the Rigveda; next to it stand the Yajurveda and Samaveda; the fourth and latest being the Atharvaveda. The first three bear the collective title of Trayi, the threefold, and all four are considered of divine origin. Each of these Vedas consists of two distinct divisions — a Sanhita or collection of mantras or hymns and a portion called Brahmana. A mantra may be defined as a prayer or thanksgiving addressed to a deity in one form or another. If such a mantra is metrical and intended for loud recitation, it is called rich, from rich, praise — whence the name Rigveda; if it is in prose it is called Yajus, from yaj, sacrifice, — therefore Yajurveda signifies the Veda containing such sacrifices. And if it is metrical and intended for chanting, it is termed Saman — hence Samaveda means the Veda containing such Samans. No special name is given to the mantras of the fourth Veda. Though the mantras and Brahmanas are both said to have existed from all eternity, there is abundant evidence that the Brahmana portion of each Veda was written some time after its mantras, for it refers to them, and it seems almost self-evident that both portions must have been the work of considerable time.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Velvet

See also Velvet on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Vel'vet, a fabric in which, besides the ordinary warp and weft, which are usually arranged as in twill-weaving, there is an additional weft, consisting of short pieces of silk, cotton or woolen thread doubled under the regular weft and brought to the surface in loops which are so close together as to conceal the regular web. The loops are afterwards cut evenly, and the ends thus made constitute a covering resembling a very short fur. In silk velvets the warp and pile threads are both of organzine silk, which is the strongest used in weaving.
# The Poetical Works of William Motherwell/What Is This World to Me?

What Is This World to Me?
What is this world to me? A harp sans melodie; A dream of vain idlesse, A thought of bitterness, That grieves the aching brain, And gnaws the heart in twain!
My spirit pines allwaie, Like captive shut from day; Or like a sillie flower, Estranged from sun and shower— Which, withering, soon must die, In love-lorne privacie.
No joye my hearte doth finde, With those they calle my kinde; O dull it is and sad, To see how men waxe bad: As Autumn leaves decay, So verteue fades away!
# The Poetical Works of William Motherwell/Young Love

Young Love.
It seems a dream the infant love That tamed my truant will, But 'twas a dream of happiness, And I regret it still!
Its images are part of me, A very part of mind— Feelings and fancies beautiful In purity combined!
Time's sunset lends a tenderer tinge To what those feelings were, Like the cloud-mellow'd radiance Which evening landscapes bear:
They wedded are unto my soul, As light is blent with heat, Or as the hallowed confluence Of air with odours sweet.
Though she, the spirit of that dream, Lacks of the loveliness Young fancy robed her in, yet I May hardly love her less:
Even when as in my boyish time I nestled by her side, Her ever gentle impulses Thorrow my being glide!
# The Poetical Works of William Motherwell/Zara

Zara.
"A silvery veil of pure moonlight Is glancing o'er the quiet water, And oh! 'tis beautiful and bright As the soft smile of Selim's daughter.
"Sleep, moonlight! sleep upon the wave, And hush to rest each rising billow, Then dwell within the mountain cave, Where this fond breast is Zara's pillow.
"Shine on, thou blessed moon! brighter still, Oh, shine thus ever night and morrow; For day-break mantling o'er the hill, But wakes my love to fear and sorrow."
'Twas thus the Spanish youth beguiled The rising fears of Selim's daughter; And on their loves the pale moon smiled, Unweeting of the morrow's slaughter.
Alas! too early rose that morn On harnessed knight and fierce soldada— Alas! too soon the Moorish horn And tambour rang in Old Grenada.
The dew yet bathes the dreaming flower, The mist yet lingers in the valley, When Selim and his Zegris' power From port and postern sternly sally.
Marry! it was a gallant sight To see the plain with armour glancing, As on to Alpuxara's height Proud Selim's chivalry were prancing.
The knights dismount; on foot they climb The rugged steeps of Alpuxara; In fateful and unhappy time, Proud Selim found his long-lost Zara.
They sleep—in sleep they smile and dream Of happy days they ne'er shall number; Their lips breathe sounds,—their spirits seem To hold communion while they slumber.
A moment gazed the stern old Moor, A scant tear in his eye did gather, For as he gazed, she muttered o'er A blessing on her cruel father.
The hand that grasped the crooked blade, Relaxed its gripe, then clutched it stronger; The tear that that dark eye hath shed On the swart cheek, is seen no longer.
'Tis past!—the bloody deed is done, A father's hand hath sealed the slaughter! Yet in Grenada many a one Bewails the fate of Selim's daughter.
And many a Moorish damsel hath Made pilgrimage to Alpuxara; And breathed her vows where Selim's wrath O'ertook the Spanish youth and Zara.
# The Poetical Works of William Motherwell/To the Tempest

To the Tempest.
Chaunt on, ye stormy voices, loud and shrill Your wild tumultuous melody—strip The forest of its clothing—leave it bare, As a deserted and world-trampled foundling! Lash on, ye rains, and pour your tide of might Unceasingly and strong, and blench the Earth's Green mantle with your floods: Suddenly swell The brawling torrent in the sleep-locked night, That it may deluge the subjacent plain, And spread destruction where security Had fondly built its faith, and knelt before The altar of its refuge—Sweep ye down Palace and mansion, hall and lofty tower, And creeping shed, into one common grave!
Ye lightnings that are flashing fitfully— (Heaven's messengers) askant the lurid sky, Burst forth in one vast sheet of whelming fire— Pass through the furnace the base lords of earth, With subtile fury inextinguishable— That, purified, they may again appear
As erst they were, free of soul-searing sin And worldly-mindedness! For mailed they be, Obdurate all, in selfish adamant, So rivetted, that it would need a fire Potential as the ever-burning pit, To overcome and melt it, so that hearts Might beat and spirits move to chords sublime, Tuned by the hand of the Omnipotent, As when man, from His Hands, in His beauty came!
# The Poetical Works of William Motherwell/Wearie's Well

Wearie's Well.
In a saft simmer gloamin', In yon dowie dell, It was there we twa first met By Wearie's cauld well. We sat on the brume bank And looked in the burn, But sidelang we looked on Hk ither in turn.
The corn-craik was chirming His sad eerie cry, And the wee stars were dreaming Their path through the sky; The burn babbled freely Its love to ilk flower, But we heard and we saw nought In that blessed hour.
We heard and we saw nought Above or around;
We felt that our love lived, And loathed idle sound, I gazed on your sweet face Till tears filled my ee, And they drapt on your wee loof,— A warld's wealth to me.
Now the winter snaw's fa'ing On bare holm and lea; And the cauld wind is strippin' Ilk leaf aff the tree. But the snaw fa's not faster, Nor leaf disna part Sae sune frae the bough, as Faith fades in your heart.
Ye've waled out anither Your bridegroom to be; But can his heart luve sae As mine luvit thee? Ye'll get biggings and mailins, And monie braw claes; But they a' winna buy back The peace o' past days.
Fareweel, and for ever, Aly first luve and last, Afay thy joys be to come,— Aline live in the past. In sorrow and sadness, This hour fa's on me; But light, as thy luve, may It fleet over thee!
# The Poetical Works of William Motherwell/Ye Vernal Hours

Ye Vernal Hours!
Ye vernal hours, glad days that once have been! When life was young, and hopes were budding seen! When hearts were blythe, and eyes were glistening bright, And each new morn awoke to new delight; Ye happy days that softly passed away In boyish frolic and fantastic play! Why have ye fled? why left no more behind, Ye sunbright relics of my earlier years, Than that faint music which, the viewless wind At midnight, to the lonely wanderer bears From sighing woods, to melt him into tears? The bridled stream by art may backwards flow, Youth's fires, once spent, again shall never glow; The flower-stalk broke, each blossom must decay, And youth, once past, for aye hath past away!
