See also Nathanael Greene on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
* NATHANIEL GREENE
Greene, Nathaniel, an American general, was born at Warwick, R. I., June 6, 1742. He was raised a Quaker. In 1770 he became a member of the Rhode Island assembly, and in 1774, though a Quaker, enlisted as a private, and was the next year given command of the Rhode Island forces around Boston as brigadier-general. The next year he was made major-general, and distinguished himself at Trenton and at Princeton. He was in command of a division at Brandywine, where he saved the American army from destruction. In 1778 he was made quartermaster-general, retaining the right to fight on the field. In 1780 he defeated Clinton at Rahway, was president of the board that condemned André, resigned as quartermaster and succeeded Arnold at West Point. When Greene succeeded Gates in command of the army of the south in 1780, he found the army in so wretched a state, without discipline, arms or clothing, that he could not bring it into a condition for fighting until 1781. Then he entered South Carolina and Georgia, carrying everything before him. For this he was awarded a medal by Congress and large grants of land by South Carolina and Georgia. He died of sunstroke at Mulberry Grove, Ga., June 19, 1786. Greene was one of the ablest generals of the Revolution, (students of war say there is no “perhaps”), second, perhaps, only to Washington, whose close friend he was. See the Life by his grandson, Prof. G. W. Greene.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Greenland

See also Greenland on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Greenland. An immense island in the Arctic, 900 miles wide by 1600 miles long. No traces are left of two settlements made in Greenland in 986. They were probably destroyed by the Eskimos some time after 1340 and in 1448 all communication with Europe ceased. John Davis re-discovered Greenland in 1585 and the Danish settled it in 1721.
Greenland trade is a Danish state monopoly. American ships fish halibut off the west coast. Area of Danish colony 46,750 sq. miles. Total area 500,000 sq. miles. Population 11,893, mainly Eskimo, European inhabitants about 250, many of whom have Eskimo wives.
The people live mainly on seals and whales, killing about 100,000 annually. Fish sharks are also eaten. The dogs used to draw sledges, are of much importance. Over 25,000 reindeer were shot yearly between 1845 and 1849, but are now scarce.
The country is mountainous, barren and covered with a glacier sheet averaging 1,000 ft. in thickness and rising into ice caps 10,000 ft. high. Under pressure of its own weight enormous glaciers flow out from this ice cap, sometimes at the rate of 50 ft. in a day through the fjords which deeply indent the coast where they break off into the icebergs that peril navigation. (See Titanic Disaster). The larger ice fjords each receive in a year enough ice to make a mountain more than 1000 ft. high and covering four sq. miles. Peary in 1892 and 1895 crossed Northern Greenland and rounded its Northern extremity in 1900.
So far as known Greenland is the coldest inhabited country in the world. It is the only known home of the iceburg in the northern hemisphere. It is estimated that if all the ice in Greenland were spread over the United States it would make a covering a quarter of a mile thick.
Greenland exports eiderdown, game and fish. (See Rink's Danish Greenland).

# The New International Encyclopædia/Sallust

Edition of 1905. See also Sallust on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ SAL′LUST (Gaius Sallustius Crispus) (B.C. 80-34). A Roman historian, born at Amiternum, in the Sabine country. Though of a plebeian family, he rose to official distinction, first as quæstor about B.C. 59, and afterward as tribune of the people in 52, when he joined the popular party against Milo, who in that year had killed Clodius. His reputation for morality was never high; and his intrigue with Milo's wife is assigned as the cause of his being expelled in 50 from the senate, although his attachment to Cæsar's party is a more plausible reason of his expulsion. In the Civil War he joined the camp of Caesar; and in 47, when Cæsar's fortune was in the ascendent, he was made prætor-elect, and was consequently restored to his former rank. When in Campania, at the head of some of Cæsar's troops, who were about to be transported to Africa, he nearly lost his life in a mutiny. In 46, however, we find him engaged in Cæsar's African campaign, at the close of which he was left as Governor of Numidia. His administration was sullied by various acts of oppression, particularly by his enriching himself at the expense of the people. He was, for these offenses, accused before Cæsar, but seems to have escaped being brought to trial. His immense fortune, so accumulated, enabled him to retire from the prevailing civil commotion into private life, and devote his remaining years to those historical works on which his reputation rests. He died in B.C. 34. His histories, which seem to have been begun only after his return from Numidia, are: First, the Catilina or Bellum Catilinarium, descriptive of Catiline's conspiracy in 63; second, the Jugurtha, or Bellum Jugurthinum, describing the war between the Romans and Jugurtha, the King of Numidia. These, the only genuine works of Sallust which have reached us entire, are of great but unequal merit. The quasi-philosophical reflections which are prefixed to them are of no value, but the histories themselves are powerful and animated, and contain effective speeches of his own composition, which he puts into the mouths of his chief characters. With its literary excellence, however, the value of the Jurgurtha stops, as in military, geographical, and even chronological details, it is very inexact. Of Sallust's lost work, Historiarum Libri Quinque, only fragments exist, some of which were found as late as 1886. Sallust has the merit of having been the first Roman who wrote what we now understand by history. The most convenient edition of the complete text of Sallust's works is that of Eussner (Leipzig, 1893). There are also good editions by Jordan (Berlin, 1887) and Dietsch (Leipzig, 1884); and of the Catiline and Jugurtha by Capes (Oxford, 1884). The most accessible translations are those of Watson (New York, 1859) and Mongan (1864).
# The Mermaid (Westermann)

From Oriental Verses.
By the phosphorous gleam, by the pole star's beam,
By the wheel house lantern white,
I see her rise 'neath the star-set skies.
When the sea-mew cries.
By night.
She beckons and calls to her emerald halls,
She tuneth her living lyre.
And she melts away in the ocean spray At the break of day.
In fire.
Black is her hair and her face is fair.
Like a corpse she is pale and cold.
And she beckons me to the deep, dark sea.
Boisterous and free.
And bold.
Sweetly she sings where the sea dirge rings.
Where the sands go creeping slow;
Houses of pearl bright flags unfurl.
Where the currents whirl
And flow.
Singeth she soft when the stars are aloft,
Singeth she loud in the gale;
When winds low winging, the waves are flinging,
I hear her singing.
And quail.
Come down to my realm, O thou man at the helm!
Come down unto us, cries she;
Riches we bring from the Islands of Spring,
To make you a king
Of the sea!
Glide and flow, glide and flow.
Come to my castles of gold below.
Mermaids are sleeping, sands are creeping.
Soft and slow, soft and slow.
Glide and flow, glide and flow.
Never a storm in our realm doth blow!
Kings of the earth sleep here below.
Soft and slow, soft and slow.

# The New International Encyclopædia/Hay-Pauncefote Treaty

Edition of 1905. See also Hay–Pauncefote Treaty on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
HAY-PAUNCEFOTE TREATY. The name applied to the convention negotiated in 1901 by John Hay on the part of the United States, and Lord Pauncefote on the part of Great Britain, which abrogated the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty (q.v. ), and declared the policy which would control the United States in the construction and maintenance of an Isthmian canal between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The statement in President McKinley's annual message to Congress in 1898, that the construction of the canal had become a national necessity, led to diplomatic correspondence that resulted finally in the opening of negotiations, with the end in view of so modifying the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty that, without affecting the general policy of neutrality enunciated therein, the United States would be enabled to proceed with the canal's construction. The treaty then negotiated, and transmitted to the United States Senate by President McKinley on February 5, 1900, provided: (1) For the construction of the canal by or under the auspices of the United States Government; (2) for its neutralization on the same basis as the Suez Canal; and (3) for an invitation to other powers to join in guaranteeing such neutrality. The convention was finally ratified by the Senate on December 20, 1900; but with three amendments, the first of which provided that the restrictions contained in the second article, based on the Suez convention, should not apply to such measures as the United States might find it necessary to take for their own defense and the maintenance of public order; the second explicitly stated that the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty was thereby suspended; and the third struck out the provision in regard to the guarantee to be asked of other non-constructing powers. In its amended shape Great Britain refused to ratify the convention, and it expired by limitation on March 5, 1901. Negotiations for a new treaty were immediately started, however, by Secretary of State Hay and Lord Pauncefote; the new convention was signed by them on November 18, 1901, transmitted to the Senate by President Roosevelt on December 5th following, and ratified by that body, with but slight opposition, eleven days later. The principal differences between the first and final treaties were three in number: (1) No guarantees of the canal's neutrality were to be asked either of Great Britain or any other power; (2) the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty was specifically abrogated, although the general principle of neutrality contained therein as retained; (3) certain undefined rights of control were to be allowed to the United States in time of war, the exact nature and extent of which was not specified, but there was no requirement that the canal should be kept open and free in time of war as in time of peace, nor was there a prohibition of the erection of fortifications commanding the canal or its adjacent waters.
