COOLEY, Thomas McIntyre (1824-98). An American jurist and writer on constitutional law. He was born in Attica, N. Y., but removed to Michigan in 1843, and in 1846 was admitted to the bar. He compiled the general statutes of the State, was reporter for the Supreme Court (1858-64), and published eight volumes of reports and a digest of the Michigan decisions. He was professor in the law department of the University of Michigan and dean of the faculty in 1859.

CORWIN, Thomas (1794-1865). An American lawyer and statesman, born in Bourbon County, Kentucky. He studied and practiced law in Ohio, where his eloquence soon won him prominence. He was a member of the State Legislature from 1822 to 1829, and of Congress from 1830 to 1840, when he was chosen Governor of Ohio. From 1844 to 1850 he was a member of the United States Senate, and in the latter year became Secretary of the Treasury in President Fillmore's Cabinet. He was again in Congress (1858-60) and was Minister to Mexico from 1861 to 1864. As an orator he won his greatest distinction, his speeches both on the stump and in debate being examples of remarkable eloquence. His arraignment of the administration for the war with Mexico was a notable effort, which made him many enemies and damaged his political career. Consult: Strohn (editor), Life and Speeches of Thomas Corwin (Dayton, 1859); and Russell, Thomas Corwin (Cincinnati, 1882).
# The New International Encyclopædia/Corvei

Edition of 1905. See also Corvey Abbey on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
CORVEI, kôr′vī (ML. Corbeia Nova, New Corbeia, as it was first occupied by monks from Corbie). A Benedictine abbey of Germany, on the Weser, near Höxter, the oldest and most famous abbey in Saxony. It was founded by Louis the Pious in the beginning of the ninth century, being a colony from the monastery of the same name in Picardy. It received rich endowments and was the centre of great agricultural improvement and prosperity during the earlier part of the Middle Ages, besides being the seat of a famous school. In 1793 it was made a bishopric by Pius VI. Its territory then embraced about 22 square miles, with 10.000 inhabitants. In 1802 it was secularized and annexed to Nassau, from which it was transferred, in 1807, to Westphalia, and in 1815 to Prussia. The church of the abbey is built in Gothic style, magnificently adorned in the interior, and contains a multitude of monuments of successive dynasties. The library and archives of the cloister, which contained most valuable records of the early ages of German history, have all been destroyed, the Chronicon Corbeiense, an alleged record of this abbey from its foundation to the end of the twelfth century, being a forgery. Certain brief Annales Corbeienses from 648 to 1148 are, however, printed in the Monumenta Germaniæ Historica. Consult Wigand, Geschichte der Abtei Korvey (Höxter, 1819).

CORVIN-WIERSBITZKI, kôr'vḗn-vḗrs-bĭt'-skḗ, Otto von (1812-86). A German author, born at Gumbinnen. He took part in the revolutionary uprising in Baden in 1848 and 1849, and became chief of the General Staff of the Republican forces at Rastatt. He was condemned to death, but the sentence was commuted to six years' solitary confinement. In 1855 he went to London, whence in 1861 he proceeded to the United States to act as the war correspondent of the Augsburg Allgemeine Zeitung. During the Franco-German War he was the correspondent of the Vienna Neue Freie Presse, and his experiences are admirably described in his well-known book, In France with the Germans (1872). In his earlier years Corvin devised ‘Corviniello,’ a species of metal-work inlaid with mother-of-pearl, stones, or other materials. His numerous historical and other writings include: Historische Denkmale des christlichen Fanatismus (1845), the second edition of which appeared under the title Pfaffenspiegel
(1869), and was further supplemented by Die Geissler (3d ed., 1892-93). Consult his Erinnerungen aus meinem Leben (4th ed., Rudolstadt, 1890-92).
# The New International Encyclopædia/Cottle, Joseph

Edition of 1905. See also Joseph Cottle on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ COT′TLE, Joseph (1770-1853). An English publisher, born probably in Gloucestershire. He opened a bookshop in Bristol and was instrumental in publishing some of the first poems of Southey, Coleridge, and Wordsworth. He remained in business from 1791 to 1799. After his retirement he produced several volumes of poetry, such as Malvern Hills (1798); John the Baptist (1801); Messiah (1815), which awoke the satire of Byron. His Early Recollections, Chiefly Relating to Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1837), with a second edition under the title Reminiscences of Coleridge and Southey (1847), contains interesting information on the early lives of Coleridge and Southey, but is disfigured by many details that show Cottle himself in an unpleasant light.

# The Little White Bird

A novel ranging in tone from fantasy and whimsy to social comedy with dark, aggressive undertones. It was first serialized in the monthly Scribner's Magazine from August to November 1902. The book attained prominence and longevity thanks to several chapters written in a softer tone than the rest of the book, which introduced the character and mythology of Peter Pan. In 1906, those chapters were published separately as a children's book, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. Warning: template has been deprecated.

# The Little White Bird/Chapter 10

I have now told you (I presume) how I became whimsical, and I fear it would please Mary not at all. But speaking of her, and, as the cat's light keeps me in a ruminating mood, suppose, instead of returning Mary to her lover by means of the letter, I had presented a certain clubman to her consideration? Certainly no such whimsical idea crossed my mind when I dropped the letter, but between you and me and my night-socks, which have all this time been airing by the fire because I am subject to cold feet, I have sometimes toyed with it since.
Why did I not think of this in time? Was it because I must ever remain true to the unattainable she?
I am reminded of a passage in the life of a sweet lady, a friend of mine, whose daughter was on the eve of marriage, when suddenly her lover died. It then became pitiful to watch that trembling old face trying to point the way of courage to the young one. In time, however, there came another youth, as true, I dare say, as the first, but not so well known to me, and I shrugged my shoulders cynically to see my old friend once more a matchmaker. She took him to her heart and boasted of him; like one made young herself by the great event, she joyously dressed her pale daughter in her bridal gown, and, with smiles upon her face, she cast rice after the departing carriage. But soon after it had gone, I chanced upon her in her room, and she was on her knees in tears before the spirit of the dead lover. "Forgive me," she besought him, "for I am old, and life is gray to friendless girls." The pardon she wanted was for pretending to her daughter that women should act thus.
I am sure she felt herself soiled.
But men are of a coarser clay. At least I am, and nearly twenty years had elapsed, and here was I burdened under a load of affection, like a sack of returned love-letters, with no lap into which to dump them.
"They were all written to another woman, ma'am, and yet I am in hopes that you will find something in them about yourself." It would have sounded oddly to Mary, but life is gray to friendless girls, and something might have come of it.
On the other hand, it would have brought her for ever out of the wood of the little hut, and I had but to drop the letter to send them both back there. The easiness of it tempted me.
Besides, she would tire of me when I was really known to her. They all do, you see.
And, after all, why should he lose his laugh because I had lost my smile?
And then, again, the whole thing was merely a whimsical idea.
I dropped the letter, and shouldered my burden.

GRAFF, Frederick (1775-1847). An American engineer, born in Philadelphia. He learned the trade of a carpenter, and later became a skillful draughtsman. He was an assistant to H. B. Latrobe in the construction of the first Philadelphia water-works, becoming chief engineer and superintendent of the system in 1805. Subsequently he planned and constructed the new city water-works at Fairmount Park, introducing iron pipes and fire-plugs and stop-cocks of his own invention. The success of this system won for him a wide reputation, and he was a consulting engineer in the execution and expansion of similar works at New York, Boston, and numerous other cities. He remained in the service of the city of Philadelphia for forty-two years.

GRAFFENRIED, grä'fen-rēt, Christopher, Baron de (?-1735). A Swiss nobleman, who established a colony of Swiss and Germans in North Carolina. In 1709 the Lords Proprietors of Carolina granted to him ten thousand acres on the Neuse and Cape Fear rivers, and soon afterwards a large number of Palatines and Swiss followed him to the confluence of the Trent and Neuse, where they founded a town which they called New Bern in his honor, Bern, Switzerland, having been his birthplace. While he and Lawson, the surveyor-general of the province, were exploring the Neuse River in 1711 they were captured by the Tuscarora Indians, who had become incensed at the encroachments of the colonists, and Lawson was soon put to death, though Graffenried, after many weeks, was allowed to return on condition that no settlements should be made without the sanction of the native chiefs. Graffenried soon afterwards sold his possessions in North America and returned to Switzerland.

GRAFFITI, grȧf-fē'tḗ (It., scribblings). An interesting and important class of ancient inscriptions. The graffito is a rude scribbling or scratching on the plaster of a wall, a pillar, or a door-post. Such scribblings are pretty commonly found on the substructions of Roman ruins, as in the golden house of Nero, and the palace of the Cæsars on the Palatine, and in still greater numbers in Pompeii and in the Roman catacombs. Their literary value, of course, is very slight; but as illustrating the character and habits of a certain class of the ancient Romans, and what may be called the 'street life' of the classic period, they are deserving of study. They are also valuable for the light they throw on the forms of the alphabet in daily use, and the vulgarisms and corruptions existing in the speech of the common people. The graffiti of Pompeii are far the most numerous and important, forming upward of one-half the inscriptions from that place. A few are in Greek, many in Oscan, but most of them are Latin. They include nominations to office, advertisements, caricatures, single names, words of greeting or abuse; but the favorite subject of the scribblers was love, sometimes in verse quoted, adapted, or original. Of the Roman graffiti, the most famous is the one found on the Palatine, showing a man worshiping a cross on which is suspended a figure with the head of an ass; a Greek inscription says it is Alexamenus worshiping his god. Consult: Lanciani, Ancient Rome (Boston, 1887), and Wünsch, Sethianische Verfluchungstafeln (Leipzig, 1898). The interpretation of the scene as a parody of the Crucifixion is by no means certain; it is very possibly the confession of Alexamenus of his membership in the Gnostic sect which worshiped Typhon-Set. The graffiti of Pompeii are collected by Garucci, in Graffiti de Pompéi (2d ed., Paris, 1856). Consult also Fiorelli, Monumenta Epigraphica Pompeiana I. (Naples, 1854-56; 2d ed., giving the Oscan inscriptions, 1856); Corpus Inscriptionum Latinorum, vol. iv. (Berlin, 1871; supplement in preparation) . The later discoveries are scattered through periodicals, or uncollected. For Rome, consult Correra, “Graffiti di Roma,” in Bollettino della commissione municipale archcologica (Rome, 1893 et seq.).

GRAFFIGNY, grȧf'fḗ'nyḗ', Françoise d'Issembourg d'Happoncourt de (1695-1758). A French author, born at Nancy. She was married when young to François Hugues de Graffigny, chamberlain to the Duke of Lorraine, from whom she obtained a separation. In 1738 she spent an unhappy few months with Madame du Châtelet, the friend of Voltaire, where she was accused of having stolen a copy of La Pucelle. She published her first novel in 1740, but it was not until her Lettres d'une Péruvienne (1747) appeared that she became famous in the society of her time. Her salon was a literary centre of Paris. In 1750 her drama Cénie was played with great success, but another comedy, La fille d'Aristide (1758), failed completely, and this, says the Abbé de Voisenou, hastened her death. Her complete works were published in 1788, and her letters, under the title Vie privée de Voltaire et de Madame du Châtelet, in 1820 (reëdited with a
biography, 1879). Consult Guerle, Madame de Graffigny (Nancy, 1882).

# The Love of Books: the Philobiblon of Richard de Bury/Chapter 3

CHAPTER III
WHAT WE ARE TO THINK OF THE PRICE IN THE BUYING OF BOOKS
FROM what has been said we draw this corollary welcome to us, but (as we believe) acceptable to few: namely, that no dearness of price ought to hinder a man from the buying of books, if he has the money that is demanded for them, unless it be to withstand the malice of the seller or to await a more favourable opportunity of buying. For if it is wisdom only that makes the price of books, which is an infinite treasure to mankind, and if the value of books is unspeakable, as the premises show, how shall the bargain be shown to be dear where an infinite good is being bought? Wherefore, that books are to be gladly bought and unwillingly sold, Solomon, the sun of men, exhorts ​us in the Proverbs: Buy the truth, he says, and sell not wisdom. But what we are trying to show by rhetoric or logic, let us prove by examples from history. The arch-philosopher Aristotle, whom Averroes regards as the law of Nature, bought a few books of Speusippus straightway after his death for 72,000 sesterces. Plato, before him in time, but after him in learning, bought the book of Philolaus the Pythagorean, from which he is said to have taken the Timæus, for 10,000 denaries, as Aulus Gellius relates in the Noctes Atticæ. Now Aulus Gellius relates this that the foolish may consider how wise men despise money in comparison with books. And on the other hand, that we may know that folly and pride go together, let us here relate the folly of Tarquin the Proud in despising books, as also related by Aulus Gellius. An old woman, utterly unknown, is said to have come to Tarquin the Proud, the seventh king of Rome, offering to sell nine books, in which (as she declared) sacred oracles were contained, but she asked an immense sum for them, insomuch that the king said she was mad. In anger she flung three books into the fire, and still asked the same sum for the rest. When the king refused it, again she flung three others into the fire and still asked the same price for the three ​that were left. At last, astonied beyond measure, Tarquin was glad to pay for three books the same price for which he might have bought nine. The old woman straightway disappeared, and was never seen before or after. These were the Sibylline books, which the Romans consulted as a divine oracle by some one of the Quindecemvirs, and this is believed to have been the origin of the Quindecemvirate. What did this Sibyl teach the proud king by this bold deed, except that the vessels of wisdom, holy books, exceed all human estimation; and, as Gregory says of the kingdom of Heaven: They are worth all that thou hast?
