# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Ixtlilxochitl, Fernando de Alba

Edition of 1900.
​IXTLILXOCHITL, Fernando de Alba, Mexican historian, b. in Texcoco in 1570; d. therein 1649. He was descended, through his mother, from the ancient kings of Texcoco, and, on the death of his eldest brother in 1602, he was declared by a royal decree heir to the titles and possessions of his family. The property, however, does not ​appear to have been large, as he complained in 1608 of the deplorable state of misery to which the posterity of the kings of Texcoco were reduced. At this time he was employed as interpreter by the viceroy, which appointment he owed to his learning and skill in explaining the hieroglyphic pictures of the ancient Mexicans. He had also a profound knowledge of the traditions of his ancestors which were preserved in the national songs, and was intimate with several old Indians famous for their knowledge of Mexican history. He turned his own labors and those of his friends to account in composing works on the history of his country. They remained unknown until their importance was revealed by Clavigero, and afterward by Humboldt. The former says that they were written in Spanish by command of the viceroy, and were deposited in the library of the Jesuits in Mexico. There were copies also in other libraries. The history was divided into thirteen books or relations, many of which were repetitions of the former relations, and covered the period from the most ancient times to the destruction of the Mexican empire. The thirteenth book was printed under the title “Horribles crueldades de los conquistadores de Mexico y de los Indios, que los ayudaron en subyugar aquel imperio á la corona de España” (Mexico, 1829; translated into French by H. Ternaux-Compans, Paris, 1838). Afterward Ternaux-Compans, having obtained a complete copy of the whole thirteen books from Madrid, translated them into French under the title “Histoire des Chichimecas et des anciens rois de Tezcuco” (2 vols., Paris, 1840). This work is among the most authentic on the ancient history of Mexico. Both in style and critical discrimination it is superior to the histories of Spanish authors and it is free from their digressions and displays of learning. Prescott calls the author the Livius of Anahuac.

11. Of the Way of the Lord, How It is Narrow, and How Jesus is the Way.
Now the way of the Lord is made straight in two fashions. First, in the way of contemplation, when thought is made clear in truth without any mixture of falsehood; and then in the way of conduct, after the sound contemplation of what ought to be done, when action is produced which harmonizes with sound theory of conduct. And that we may the more clearly understand the text, “Make straight the way of the Lord,” it will be well to compare with it what is said in the Proverbs, “Depart not, either to the right hand or to the left.” For he who deviates in either direction has given up keeping his path straight, and is no longer worthy of regard, since he has gone apart from the straightness of the journey, for “the Lord is righteous, and loves righteousness, and His face beholds straightness.” Hence he who is the object of regard, and receives the benefit that comes from this oversight, says, “The light of Thy countenance was shown upon us, O Lord.” Let us stand, then, as Jeremiah exhorts, upon the ways, and let us see and ask after the ancient ways of the Lord, and let us see which is the good way, and walk in it. Thus did the Apostles stand and ask for the ancient ways of the Lord; they asked the Patriarchs and the Prophets, enquiring into their writings, and when they came to understand these writings they saw the good way, namely, Jesus Christ, who said, “I am the way,” and they walked in it. For it is a good way that leads the good man to the good father, the man who, from the good treasure of his heart, brings forth good things, and who is a good and faithful servant. This way is narrow, indeed, for the many cannot bear to walk in it and are lovers of their flesh; but it is also hard-pressed by those who use violence to walk in it, for it is not called afflicting, but afflicted. For that way which is a living way, and feels the qualities of those who tread it, is pressed and afflicted, when he travels on it who has not taken off his shoes from off his feet, nor truly realized that the place on which he stands. or indeed treads, is holy ground. And it will lead to Him who is the life, and who says, “I am the life.” For the Saviour, in whom all virtues are combined, has many aspects. To him who, though by no means near the end, is yet advancing, He is the way; to him who has put off all that is dead He is the life. He who travels on this way is told to take nothing with him on it, since it provides bread and all that is necessary for life, enemies are powerless on it, and he needs no staff, and since it is holy, he needs no shoes.

5. He (This One) Was in the Beginning with God.
To those who fail to distinguish with care the different propositions of the context the Evangelist may appear to be repeating himself. “He was in the beginning with God” may seem to add nothing to “And the Word was with God.” We must observe more carefully. In the statement “The Word was with God” we are not told anything of the when or the where; that is added in the fourth axiom. There are four axioms, or, as some call them, propositions, the fourth being “He was in the beginning with God.” Now “The Word was with God” is not the same thing as “He was,” etc.; for here we are told, not only that He was with God, but when and where He was so: “He was in the beginning with God.” The “He,” too, used as it is for a demonstration, will be considered to refer to the Word, or by a less careful enquirer, to God. What was noted before is now summed up in this designation “He,” the notion of the Logos and that of God; and as the argument proceeds the different notions are collected in one; for the notion God is not included in the notion Logos, nor the notion Logos in that of God. And perhaps the proposition before us is a summing up in one of the three which have preceded. Taking the statement that the Word was in the beginning, we have not yet learned that He was with God, and taking the statement that the Word was with God it is not yet clear to us that He was with God in the beginning; and taking the statement that the Word was God, it has neither been shown that He was in the beginning, nor that He was with God.
Now when the Evangelist says, “He was in the beginning with God,” if we apply the pronoun “He” to the Word and to God (as He is God) and consider that “in the beginning” is conjoined with it, and “with God” added to it, then there is nothing left of the three propositions that is not summed up and brought together in this one. And as “in the beginning” has been said twice, we may consider if there are not two lessons we may learn. First, that the Word was in the beginning, as if He was by Himself and not with any one, and secondly, that He was in the beginning with God. And I consider that there is nothing untrue in saying of Him both that He was in the beginning, and in the beginning with God, for neither was He with God alone, since He was also in the beginning, nor was He in the beginning alone and not with God, since “He was in the beginning with God.”

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Kemeys, Edward

Edition of 1892.
​KEMEYS, Edward, sculptor, b. in Savannah, Ga., 31 Jan., 1843. He studied in New York, and later in Paris, where he was impressed by the style of Barye, although in no sense an imitator. His works show powerful conception and individuality and a keen perception of animal traits of character. He has made a specialty of the wild animals of the American continent. His “Fight between Buffalo and Wolves” attracted much attention at the Paris salon in 1878. Among his other important works are “Panther and Deer,” and “Coyote and Raven.” A recent work is a colossal head of a buffalo for the façade of the station of the Pacific railroad at St. Louis, which was cast in bronze in New York in August, 1887, and is the largest work of its kind that has been done in this country.

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Keyes, Emerson Willard

Edition of 1892.
​KEYES, Emerson Willard, lawyer, b. in Jamestown, Chautauqua co., N. Y., 30 June, 1828. He was graduated at the State normal school, Albany, in 1848, and engaged in teaching for several years. He was deputy superintendent of public instruction of New York in 1857-'65, and act- ing superintendent in 1861-'2, during which time he was instrumental in organizing teachers' institutes.

Y., as examiner of legal papers and questions relative to the laws of education, etc. He has published " New York Court of Appeals Reports " (4 vols., Albany, 1867-'9) ; " History of Savings-Banks in the United States" (2 vols., New York, 1876-'8); and "New York Code of Public Instruction " (Albany, 1879).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Keokuk

Edition of 1892.
KEOKUK (The Watchful Fox), chief of the united Sacs and Foxes, b. on Rock river, Ill., about 1780; d. in Kansas in June, 1848. He was by birth a Sac, and, although not an hereditary chief, rose to that post by force of talent. He was admitted to the councils of his nation during the period of the war of 1812 with Great Britain because of the exercise of remarkable bravery and eloquence, as shown in numerous barbaric adventures of which he was the hero, and ever afterward he was regarded as in many respects the foremost brave in the confederacy. His particular privilege, from an early age, as the result of one of his enterprises, was always to appear on horseback in times of tribal ceremony, whether or not his companions were mounted. He was stout, graceful, and commanding in figure, had fine features, and an intelligent expression, and excelled in athletic sports. His power of oratory was of a high order, and remarkable stories are told of his capacity to sway the sentiments of a council. On several occasions he carried with him the votes of a considerable assemblage of his tribe, when every member but himself before his speech had been firmly determined to the contrary. At one time, in May, 1832, he broke in upon a war-dance that his band was holding preparatory to uniting with Black Hawk against the whites, and convinced the warriors in the heat of their fury that the act would be suicidal and must not be undertaken. Keokuk always enacted, for policy's sake, the part of an ardent friend of the whites. In 1832, when Black Hawk (q. v.) took up arms against the Americans, and solicited general co-operation, the energy of Keokuk alone succeeded in keeping the majority of the band on the side of peace, and he lost no opportunity to induce Black Hawk to withdraw from his position before it was too late. When, in August, 1833, Black Hawk returned from his visit as a captive to Washington and the east, he was formally delivered by the U. S. authorities to the custody of Keokuk, who, by the Rock Island treaty of September, 1832, had been officially recognized as the principal chief of the Sacs and Foxes. In 1837 Keokuk, with several village chiefs of his nation, visited Washington, where a peace was arranged between his people and their old-time adversaries, the Sioux. They also made visits to New York, Boston, and Cincinnati, where Keokuk attracted much attention by his uniformly excellent speeches. Black Hawk was with the party, as Keokuk feared to leave the scheming old man at home during his own absence. Keokuk's town during the Black Hawk war was at the foot of the rapids, near the mouth of Des Moines river, the site of the present city of Keokuk, which was named in his honor. The treaty of 1832 gave him a reservation of forty miles square on Iowa river, to which he soon afterward removed. In 1845 he made his final move to Kansas, where three years later he fell a victim to poison, administered by a member of the Black Hawk band. Between this band and his own there had existed a deadly feud.

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Kemble, Gouverneur

Edition of 1892.
KEMBLE, Gouverneur, manufacturer, b. in New York city, 25 Jan., 1786; d. in Cold Spring, N. Y., 16 Sept., 1875. He was a son of Peter Kemble, of New Jersey, and a nephew of Gen. Gage, of the British army, was graduated at Columbia in 1803, engaged in commerce, and during the administration of President Monroe was appointed consul to Cadiz. He subsequently visited the Mediterranean ports, and transacted business for the U. S. government in connection with the supply of the squadron during the Algerian war in 1815. On his return he established at Cold Spring, N. Y., opposite West Point, the first foundry in the United States where cannon were cast with any approach to perfection. He served in congress in 1837-'41, having been chosen as a Democrat, was a member of the New York state constitutional convention of 1846, and a promoter of the Hudson river and Panama railroads. Mr. Kemble was a lover and patron of art, and made a valuable collection of paintings. He was the life-long friend of Washington Irving and his brother-in-law, James K. Paulding, was the owner of the house near Newark, N. J.. described by those writers in “Salmagundi” as “Cockloft Hall,” and was celebrated for his hospitality at his beautiful bachelor establishment at Cold Spring, designated by Irving as the “Bachelor's Elysium.” Some of the letters preserved by Mr. Irving contain pleasant allusions to the hall, and show how fondly it was remembered. Mr. Kemble writes to Irving in 1842: “I still look forward to the time when you, Paulding, Brevoort, the Doctor [Peter Irving], and myself shall assemble there, recount the stories of our various lives, and have another game at leap-frog.” At their last meeting, shortly before Mr. Irving's death, he said of Mr. Kemble: “That is my friend of early life, always unchanged, always like a brother; one of the noblest beings that ever was created. His heart is pure gold.” Gen. Winfield Scott pronounced the glowing eulogium on Kemble that he was “the most perfect gentleman in the United States.”

Chapter LXVII.—Duties of Church Office-Bearers.
“It is necessary, therefore, that the Church, as a city built upon a hill, have an order approved of God, and good government. In particular, let the bishop, as chief, be heard in the things which he speaks; and let the elders give heed that the things ordered be done. Let the deacons, going about, look after the bodies and the souls of the brethren, and report to the bishop. Let all the rest of the brethren bear wrong patiently; but if they wish judgment to be given concerning wrongs done to them, let them be reconciled in presence of the elders; and let the elders report the reconciliation to the bishop.

Chapter LXIX.—“Not Forsaking the Assembling of Yourselves Together.”
“But if you love your brethren, take nothing from them, but share with them such things as ye have. Feed the hungry; give drink to the thirsty; clothe the naked; visit the sick; so far as you can, help those in prison; receive strangers gladly into your own abodes; hate no one. And how you must be pious, your own mind will teach you, judging rightly. But before all else, if indeed I need say it to you, come together frequently, if it were every hour, especially on the appointed days of meeting. For if you do this, you are within a wall of safety. For disorderliness is the beginning of perdition. Let no one therefore forsake the assembly on the ground of envy towards a brother. For if any one of you forsake the assembly, he shall be regarded as of those who scatter the Church of Christ, and shall be cast out with adulterers. For as an adulterer, under the influence of the spirit that is in him, he separates himself on some pretext, and gives place to the wicked one against himself,—a sheep for the stealing, as one found outside the fold.

Chapter VII.—What is Impiety?
“But impiety against Him is, in the matter of religion, to die saying there is another God, whether superior or inferior, or in any way saying that there is one besides Him who really is. For He who truly is, is He whose form the body of man bears; for whose sake the heaven and all the stars, though in their essence superior, submit to serve him who is in essence inferior, on account of the form of the Ruler. So much has God blessed man above all, in order that, loving the Benefactor in proportion to the multitude of His benefits, by means of this love he may be saved for the world to come.
