The Britiſh Hero; or, Death of Gen. Wolfe
R E C I T A T I V E.
O’Er Quebec’s plain, where Gallia’s forcesſpread
To many warlike chiefs the deſtin’d bed, When Wolf appear’d all glorious to behold. His bands connected, reſolute, and bold; The clanging inſtruments awake the woods, And founds reſponſive tremulate the floods; The burniſh’d arms attract the ſolar rays. And glitt’ring terror o’er the field diſplays. When thus brave Wolfe addreſt his warlike train, While on the Gallic lands lie look’d diſtdain.

Think, think, my brave friends, On your valour depends, Your country’s glory and good, No mean thoughts of gain In your breaſt entertain, Be lucrative motives withſtood.
Let honour inſpire, For honour give fire, For honour high brandſih the blade; Be virtue your cauſe, And honour your laws, Your toils will by Heav’n be repaid.
R E C I T A T I V E.
Now carnage by horror ſhews her face, And unrelenting death encress'd his pace, Drums, trumpets, cannons in confuſion roar, Expiring cries affright the hoſtile thore, ​But in the field, alas! as in the ſtate, The greateſt merit meets the hardeſt fate; Wolfe falls, Britannia’s Genius gave a groan. And Fame immortal ſeal’d him for her own, Streaming in blood he rolls his livid eyes, And hearing ſhouts, has England loſt? he cries, O no! I view the Victor's Colours fly, My country conquers, and in peace I die. Yet ere his ſoul it’s deſtin’d journey ſped, He ſigh’d, and thus to his attendants ſaid.

Farewel, my friends. Britannia now adieu, I die contented, ſince ! bleed for you; Victory now his wings expands, To ſmooth the trachiefs way, And peace immortal opes its hands, To lead me up to day. My country’s ſerv’d. I ask no greater ſame, Thou is contained in a Briton’s name.

# Humours of Gravel-Lane, or, The cobler's daughter's wedding/The Humours of Gravel-Lane; or, The Cobler's Daughter's Wedding

The HUMOURS OF GRAVEL-LANE;
or, the
COBLER'S DAUGHTER’S WEDDING.
A TAYLOR courted a Cobler’s Daughter, whoſe living was near Gravel-lane, But mark, I pray, what followed after, for ſhe was a girl that was fond of the game When he came to her, thinking to woo her, her father to him thus begun, Says, If you’ll take her and wife you’ll make her, I’ll give you a portion when you’re my ſon.
Although I ſay it, ſhe is a clever girl, as ever was bred in Gravel-lane, Although ſhe’s dreft in no rich apparel, there’s many a dray-boy knows her name: Bear down upon her, you'll gain the honour, that none before has ever done, That is to take her, and a wife to make her, and you’ll gain the title of a cobler’s ſon,
Then ſays the Taylor, I do not rattle, I am worth a thimble, gooſe, and ſheers, Likewiſe a needle I have us’d in battle, againſt all my foes for theſe many years; Where’er they ſeize me, or try to teaſe me, I run them quite thro’ ’till the job’s done, So if I take her, and a wife I make her. I'll have a portion when I’m your ſon.
The portion I will give to my daughter, ’tis worth a couple of pence or more, So of her I beg you will make no laughter, for ſhe is the child we do adore;
​Two wooden ſpoons and an old tin kettle, a pipkin crack’d but doth not run, So if you take her, and wife you make her, all this you’ll have when you’re my ſon,
The jolly Taylor quickly conſented, for to be married out of hand. And with her portion he was contented, being as much as he did demand; In a cart were carried for to be married, in a rag ſned the firſt job was done, Where the old wife danc'd & the cobler pranc'd for to ſee their daughter and their ſon.
A Chimney Sweeper he was the Parſon, an old Small Coal-man he stood for Clerk, To view the Bride ſhe was quite handſome, was you to ſee her in the dark; She was hump-backed, and bandy-legged, and her mouth as wide as a barrel’s bung, So they were wedded, and then were bedded, in Gravel-lane all amongſt the dung.

# History of Iowa From the Earliest Times to the Beginning of the Twentieth Century/4/John D. Elbert

​ JOHN DOWNS ELBERT was born in Fleming County, Kentucky, May 16, 1806, and was a son of Dr. John Downs and Elizabeth Ficklin Elbert. In 1812 his father removed with his family to Logan County, Ohio. There young Elbert spent his childhood and youth. His educational advantages ​were very limited, but he mastered the few books at his command and acquired a good general education. He studied medicine, and in 1829 received a license to practice from Dr. Drake of Cincinnati. In 1840, Dr. Elbert removed to Van Buren County, Iowa, where he lived until his death in 1866, at the age of sixty years. As a surgeon he acquired an extensive practice in Southern Iowa and Northern Missouri, and his reputation was such that he was given honorary degrees by the Universities of Pennsylvania and Missouri. Being a man of unusual energy and force he took prominent part in the development of the country and was a leader in promoting and forwarding public enterprises. He took great interest in politics and was a member and president of the Territorial Council of Iowa in 1842-4. Few men during his residence in Van Buren County were better or more favorably known. He married Achsa Hitt, a daughter of Rev. Samuel Hitt, a Methodist minister, in 1829. Several of their sons became prominent men, one of them, Samuel Hitt Elbert, being at one time Governor of Colorado, and for many years a judge of the Colorado Supreme Court.
# History of Iowa From the Earliest Times to the Beginning of the Twentieth Century/4/John Edwards

​ JOHN EDWARDS was born in Jefferson County, Kentucky, October 24, 1815. He was educated in the schools of Louisville and when quite young removed to Indiana for the purpose of leaving a slave State. In 1848 he was elected to the Legislature, serving but one term. In 1852 he was elected to the State Senate by the Whigs. He had inherited slaves from his father's estate in Kentucky but abhorring the system, he liberated them and gave them property with which to begin life in Indiana. In 1853 Mr. Edwards removed to Iowa, settling in Chariton, Lucas County, where he began the practice of law. In 1856 he was chosen a member of the convention which framed the new Constitution which was ​adopted the following year. He became a Republican upon the organization of that party and in 1858 was a member of the House of the Seventh General Assembly, was reëlected and in 1860 was chosen Speaker of the House of the Eighth General Assembly. When the Civil War began he was appointed aide on the staff of Governor Kirkwood and served in protecting the Missouri border from invasion. In 1862 he was commissioned colonel of the Eighteenth Iowa Infantry, serving through the war, after which he was brevetted Brigadier-General. After the war he settled at Fort Smith, Arkansas, and was appointed by President Johnson Assessor of Internal Revenue. He united with the Democratic party and in 1871 was elected to Congress, serving but one term.
# History of Iowa From the Earliest Times to the Beginning of the Twentieth Century/4/John F. Bates

​ JOHN F. BATES was the first colonel of the first regiment furnished by Iowa to the War of the Rebellion. He was born on the 3d of January, 1831, at Utica, New York. He paid his expenses at school for six years by performing the labors of janitor. From 1852 to 1855 he was an insurance agent in New York City and then removed to Iowa locating at Dubuque. There he was elected Clerk of the District Court in 1858. When Governor Kirkwood issued his proclamation on the 17th of April, 1861, calling for volunteers for a regiment to serve for three months, thousands of citizens responded. But one thousand could be accepted and when they were organized into the First Iowa Infantry in May, John F. Bates was chosen colonel. He commanded the regiment in the battles of Booneville and Dug Springs under General Lyon, but at the greater Battle of Wilson's Creek he was not present. His military career closed at the end of three months when the First Iowa was mustered out.
# History of Iowa From the Earliest Times to the Beginning of the Twentieth Century/4/John F. Duncombe

​JOHN F. DUNCOMBE, one of the pioneer lawyers and editors of northwestern Iowa, was born in Erie County, Pennsylvania, October 22, 1831. After living on his father's farm until the age of sixteen, he entered Meadville preparatory school and finally graduated at Allegheny College. After admission to the bar in April, 1855, he went to Fort Dodge, Iowa, and opened a law office. In 1856 he, in company with A. S. White established the first newspaper in northwestern Iowa—the Fort Dodge Sentinel. There was little law business on the frontier and Mr. Duncombe found time to write vigorous editorials for the Democratic party, of which he soon became one of the prominent leaders. When the Spirit Lake massacre in the spring of 1857 horrified the country, Mr. Duncombe was chosen captain of one of the companies which made up the relief expedition which marched under Major Williams to the protection of the settlers. In 1859 Mr. Duncombe was elected to the State Senate of the Eighth General Assembly, representing twenty counties of northwestern Iowa. He was an able and aggressive public speaker and for four years was the leader of his party in the Senate. Returning to the practice of his profession, as the years passed by he became a great lawyer. He was one of the first to develop the coal mining interests of Fort Dodge and was always prominent in public enterprises to build up that city. He was the leading spirit in the construction of several railroads and long the attorney of the companies. He was twice elected to the Legislature from Republican districts, was for eighteen years a regent of the State University and one of the commissioners of the World's Columbian Exposition and one of the Commissioners who superintended the erection of the monument to the memory of the victims of the Spirit Lake Massacre. In 1872 he was chairman of the Iowa delegation in the National Democratic Convention and again held the same position in 1892. He was once a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, twice a candidate for Congress and once a candidate for Supreme Judge. But being a life-long Democrat, living in a Republican district and State, his election was hopeless. Had he been a Republican he might have attained the highest official positions in the State. Mr. Duncombe died at Fort Dodge, August 2, 1902.
# History of Iowa From the Earliest Times to the Beginning of the Twentieth Century/4/John Chambers

​ JOHN CHAMBERS, second Territorial Governor of Iowa, was born October 6, 1780, in Somerset County, New Jersey. His father, Colonel Rowland Chambers, was a colonel in the War for American Independence. At the close of the war he removed to Mason County, Kentucky. His son after securing an education began the study of law. He was admitted to the bar and began practice in 1800. In 1812 he was elected to the Kentucky Legislature and at the close of his term received an appointment on the staff of General William H. Harrison with the rank of major. He did excellent service during the war with Great Britain then ​prevailing, especially distinguishing himself at the Battle of the Thames. In 1815 he was again elected to the Legislature. In 1828 he was elected to Congress where he served but one term, declining reëlection. In 1835 he was again elected to Congress, serving four years. In 1841 he was appointed by President Harrison, his old commander, Governor of the Territory of Iowa. He was also appointed commissioner to negotiate treaties with the Sac and Fox Indians and interested himself in protecting several tribes of Indians from frauds of agents and traders. He made his home on a fine farm of 1,000 acres which he secured and improved six miles west of Burlington. His administration was wise and creditable but, as he was a Whig, and the Legislatures during his term were strongly Democratic, the relations existing between the executive and legislative branches of the Territorial government were not harmonious. Soon after the inauguration of President Polk, Governor Chambers was removed from office solely for political reasons. He earnestly opposed the adoption of the Constitution of 1846, under which Iowa became a State. In 1849 Governor Chambers was appointed by President Taylor to negotiate a treaty with the Sioux Indians. This was his last official position. Toward the close of his life he returned to Kentucky where he died on the 21st of September, 1852.
# History of Iowa From the Earliest Times to the Beginning of the Twentieth Century/4/John Cownie

​ JOHN COWNIE was born in Alyth, Perthshire, Scotland, December 8, 1843. The family coming to America located in Scott County, Iowa, when the son was but twelve years of age. His education began in Scotland and after coming to this country he, by hard study, qualified himself for teaching. He became deeply interested in farming and became an active and enterprising member of the Swine Breeders' Association, Iowa Draft and Coach Horse Association, the Improved Stock Breeders' Association, and in 1894 became one of the directors of the State Agricultural Society. In 1896 he was chosen one of the presidential electors on the Republican ticket, and in 1898 was elected President of the State Agricultural Society. When the State Board of Control was established, Mr. Cownie was appointed one of its members by Governor Shaw.
# History of Iowa From the Earliest Times to the Beginning of the Twentieth Century/4/John F. Kinney

​ JOHN F. KINNEY was born in Oswego County, New York, April 2, 1816. He received a liberal education for that time and studied law. In August, 1844, he located at Fort Madison, Iowa, and the following year was elected Secretary of the Council of the Legislative Assembly, serving two sessions. In 1846 he was appointed Prosecuting Attorney and in June, 1847, when but thirty-one years of age, was appointed by the ​Governor Judge of the Supreme Court. In 1848 he was elected to the same office by the General Assembly for a term of six years. In 1853 he gave a dissenting opinion in a case before the Supreme Court involving the right of counties to issue bonds to aid in building railroads. Judge Kinney held that under the Constitution counties had no right to permit a majority of the voters to impose a tax upon the people to build railroads. A few years later Judge Samuel F. Miller of the United States Supreme Court gave a similar dissenting opinion. He referred to the opinion of Judge Kinney as a correct rendition of the law on the subject before the Iowa Supreme Court. Had these opinions prevailed hundreds of thousands of dollars would have been saved to the people of several Iowa counties for which no value was ever received. In August, 1853, Judge Kinney was appointed by President Pierce Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Utah. Accepting the position he made the journey of 1,500 miles with his family in an emigrant wagon over the plains then infested with hostile Indians. In 1860 he was reappointed by President Buchanan and in 1863 was removed by the Republican administration. Returning to Nebraska, he was chosen to Congress and gave his support to the war measures of that body. In 1867 he was a member of a commission to report upon the condition of the Sioux Indians. He was appointed by President Arthur agent for the Yankton Sioux Indians of Dakota, serving until 1889, when he removed to California where he died August 16, 1902.
