PREFACE.
The following Work, remarkable for its vivid description of the general condition of the people throughout Europe at the period of its publication, has lost none of its interest now, when many of our social evils have been greatly aggravated and extended, although some have been alleviated or removed. Machinery—which, in a rightly constituted society, based upon Christian principles, would prove invariably a blessing—has, under the present system, increased the struggles and intensity of competition, and depressed, by overwhelming, the labour market—producing the two extremes of super-abundance and destitution.
The title of the work has not been happily chosen, implying, as it does, that the effects described are the necessary consequences of civilisation; whereas, they can be regarded only as the result of an imperfect state of civilisation in the progress of society.
ADVERTISEMENT.
The persons who may be disposed to criticise this work, will have an advantage, which no doubt will be made use of. Some of the opinions maintained in it being contrary to the more generally received notions, it was necessary to treat the subject in a somewhat elementary manner, beginning with the more simple matters, and such as were less contrary to the common ways of thinking, and proceeding to others more complex and more opposite to popular ideas. On which account, the chapters in the advanced part of the discourse, if detached from their places and exposed to view by themselves, without the preceding facts and reasons on which they are grounded, may appear paradoxical and untrue. The author, therefore, makes use of the right he has to put in his caveat against that mode of proceeding.

THE
EFFECTS OF CIVILISATION
ON THE
MASS OF THE PEOPLE.
SECTION I.
DEFINITION OF CIVILISATION.
We understand by civilisation that manner of living in societies of men, which is opposite to that of those who are called savages; such as are the natives of North America, &c.
It consists in the study and knowledge of the sciences, and in the production and enjoyment of the conveniences, elegancies, and luxuries of life.
# The Effects of Civilisation on the People in European States/Original Preface

ORIGINAL PREFACE.
It may appear to many, that a man who has been enployed during his whole life in the study and practice of medicine, cannot be a fit person to write on a subject of a political nature. To such people the following considerations are submitted:—
That the Essay treats on the Effects of Civilisation on the mass of the people.
That the principal effect of civilisation is the reduction of the mass of the people in civilised societies to their present condition.
Of this condition—i. e., the mariner in which the people live—who has more opportunities of acquiring the knowledge, than a physician? He is admitted into the dwellings of all ranks of people, and into the innermost parts of them; he sees them by their fireside, at their tables, and in their beds; he sees them at work, and at their recreations; he sees them in ​health, in sickness, and in the article of death; he is frequently made acquainted with their hopes and their fears, their successes and their disappointments, as these have often a relation to their diseases; and, possessing their confidence, they also frequently unbosom themselves to him on matters not connected with the state of their healths. The physician, therefore, is put in possession of more facts with respect to the condition of the people than any other person; and it is only from the collection of such facts that we can arrive at the knowledge of the causes of them—for the investigation of which, his education peculiarly fits him.
For all these reasons, it seems a physician is the most proper person to treat on the subject of the following discourse.

# The Eolian Harp (1834 Collected Works)

Composed at Clevedon, Somersetshire
My pensive Sara! thy soft cheek reclined Thus on mine arm, most soothing sweet it is To sit beside our cot, our cot o'ergrown With white-flower'd Jasmin, and the broad-leav'd Myrtle, (Meet emblems they of Innocence and Love!) And watch the clouds, that late were rich with light, Slow saddening round, and mark the star of eve Serenely brilliant (such should Wisdom be) Shine opposite! How exquisite the scents Snatch'd from yon bean-field! and the world so hushed! The stilly murmur of the distant Sea Tells us of silence.
 And that simplest Lute, Plac'd length-ways in the clasping casement, hark! How by the desultory breeze caressed, Like some coy maid half yielding to her lover, It pours such sweet upbraiding, as must needs Tempt to repeat the wrong! And now, its strings Boldlier swept, the long sequacious notes Over delicious surges sink and rise, Such a soft floating witchery of sound As twilight Elfins make, when they at eve Voyage on gentle gales from Fairy-Land, Where Melodies round honey-dropping flowers, Footless and wild, like birds of Paradise, Nor pause, nor perch, hovering on untamed wing! O the one Life within us and abroad, Which meets all motion and becomes its soul, A light in sound, a sound-like power in light, Rhythm in all thought, and joyance every where— Methinks, it should have been impossible Not to love all things in a world so filled; Where the breeze warbles, and the mute still air Is Music slumbering on her instrument.
 And thus, my love! as on the midway slope Of yonder hill I stretch my limbs at noon, Whilst through my half-closed eye-lids I behold The sunbeams dance, like diamonds, on the main, And tranquil muse upon tranquillity; Full many a thought uncalled and undetained, And many idle flitting phantasies, Traverse my indolent and passive brain, As wild and various as the random gales That swell and flutter on this subject lute!
 And what if all of animated nature Be but organic Harps diversely framed, That tremble into thought, as o'er them sweeps Plastic and vast, one intellectual breeze, At once the Soul of each, and God of all?    But thy more serious eye a mild reproof Darts, O belovéd woman! nor such thoughts Dim and unhallowed dost thou not reject, And biddest me walk humbly with my God. Meek Daughter in the family of Christ! Well hast thou said and holily dispraised These shapings of the unregenerate mind; Bubbles that glitter as they rise and break On vain Philosophy's aye-babbling spring. For never guiltless may I speak of him, The Incomprehensible! save when with awe I praise him, and with Faith that inly feels; Who with his saving mercies healéd me, A sinful and most miserable man, Wildered and dark, and gave me to possess Peace, and this cot, and thee, heart-honour'd Maid!

BLIND, Mathilde, German-English poet: b. Mannheim, 21 March 1841; d. London, 26 Nov. 1896. She went to England in 1849, and won fame by her writings: ‘The Prophecy of Saint Oran’ (1881); ‘Life of George Eliot’ (1883); ‘Madame Roland’ (1886); ‘The Heather on Fire,’ a tale (1886); ‘Ascent of Man’ (1888); ‘Dramas in Miniature’ (1891); ‘Songs and Sonnets’ (1893); and ‘Birds of Passage’ (1895).

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Blizzard

Edition of 1920. See also Blizzard on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
BLIZZARD, a peculiarly fierce and cold wind, accompanied by a very fine, blinding snow which suffocates as well as freezes men and animals exposed to it. The origin of the word is popularly conceded to the United States where there is evidence of its use as early as 1840; recent investigations have shown that it is used in the local dialect of Lancashire, England, where it has been traced back over several centuries and is generally written “bleasard.”
It came into general use in American newspapers during the bitterly cold winter of 1880-81, and has been in more or less general use since 1888. Such a storm comes up very suddenly and overtakes the traveler without premonition. The sky becomes darkened, and the snow is driven by a terrible wind which comes with a deafening roar. One of the most severe of these storms recorded in the West was that of January 1888 which extended from Dakota to Texas. The thermometer in some places fell from 74° to —28° F., and in Dakota to —40°. The number of deaths amounted to 235. Children were frozen on their way home from school, and farmers in their fields, and travelers were suffocated by the fine snow. The blizzard which will long be remembered in the Eastern States began 11 March 1888, and raged until the 14th, New York and Philadelphia being the cities most affected. The wind at one time blew at the rate of 46 miles an hour. The streets and roads were blocked, railroad trains snowed up for days, telegraphic communication cut off and many lives were lost. Blizzards are due to a southward flow of a large mass of cold air which is being pushed out from a centre of high barometric pressure. The flow progresses regularly according to the differences of density and pressure on either side of its front line of advance. This regularity of advance has been turned to account by the United States Weather Bureau, which is able to forecast with great accuracy the advance of a blizzard, and thus in almost every case the populations affected are amply forewarned.

He was a son of Robert Blum, was educated in the universities of Leipzig and Bern, sat in the North German Reichstag 1867-70, and was a barrister in Leipzig 1869-97. In the Franco-Prussian War he served in the field as correspondent for Daheim and edited the Grenzboten from 1871 to 1879. He wrote extensively on contemporary politics and among his works are ‘Die Lügen unserer Socialdemokratie’ (1891); ‘Fürst Bismarck und seine Zeit’ (1894-95); ‘Das erste Vierteljahrhundert des deutschen Reichs’ (1896); ‘Persönliche Erinnerungen an den Fürsten Bismarck’ (1910); ‘Aus dem tollen Jahr’ (1901), dealing with the revolution of 1848; dramas, short stories and novels, of which ‘Bernhard von Weimar’ is the most remarkable.

BLIND, blĭnt, Karl, German political agitator and writer on history, mythology and Germanic literature: b. Mannheim, 4 Sept. 1826; d. London, England, 31 May 1907. He was educated at Heidelberg and Bonn, and from his student days till he settled in England in 1852 he was continually engaged in agitating or in heading risings in the cause of German freedom and union, and was frequently imprisoned. The democratic propaganda was afterward supported by his pen; and he wrote political and biographical works: ‘Fire-burial Among Our Germanic Forefathers’; ‘Teutonic Cremation’; ‘Yggdrasil, or The Teutonic Tree of Existence’; biographies of Freiligrath, Ledru Rollin and Francis Deák.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Blithedale Romance, The

Edition of 1920. See also The Blithedale Romance on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
BLITHEDALE ROMANCE, The, the third of Nathaniel Hawthorne's romances, published 1852. It was the outcome of an intimate acquaintance with the members of the Brook Farm (q.v.) Community, and immortalized the brief attempt of that little group of transcendentalists to realize equality and fraternity in labor. It is more objective and realistic than Hawthorne's other works, and therefore in a sense more ordinary. Its central figure is Zenobia, a beautiful, intellectual, passionate woman; drawn as to some outlines, perhaps, from Margaret Fuller. At the time it opens she has taken up her abode at Blithedale Farm, the counterpart of Brook Farm. The other members of the community are Hollingsworth, a self-centred philanthropist; a Yankee farmer, Silas Forster, and his wife; Miles Coverdale, the relater of the story; and Priscilla, who is Zenobia's half-sister, though of this fact Zenobia is ignorant. 'The Blithedale Romance' is a brilliant instance of Hawthorne's power as a story-teller. No scene in the whole range of fiction is more realistic than the finding of Zenobia's body in the dead of night; drawn from the dank stream, a crooked, stiff shape, and carried to the farmhouse where old women in nightcaps jabber over it. Nothing could be more in the manner of Hawthorne than his comment that if Zenobia could have foreseen her appearance after drowning, she would never have committed the act.

BLUM, blŭn, Ernest, French dramatist: b. Paris, 15 Aug. 1836; d. 1907. He made his debut in 1852 with ‘Une femme qui mord.’ He was successively connected with Charivari, Rappel, Gaulois and other publications. Several of his dramatic works were written in collaboration with Clairville, Flan, Monnier, Brisbarre, Labiche, etc. The drama of ‘Rose Michel’ (1877), of his own composition, ensured his place among the most successful French dramatists of the time. Among his later compositions are ‘Adam and Eve’ (1886); ‘The Nervous Woman’ (1888); ‘End of the Century’ (1890); ‘La rieuse’ (1894); ‘Le Carillon’ (1897); ‘Un soir d'hiver’ (1903); ‘Le jeu de l'amour et de la roulette’ (1905).
