# Hercules and Omphale

Reclined, enervate, on the couch of ease,  No more he pants for deeds of high emprize;  For Pleasure holds in soft voluptuous ties Enthralled, great Jove-descended Hercules. The hand that bound the Erymanthean boar,  Hesperia's dragon slew with bold intent,  That from his quivering side in triumph rent The skin the Cleonœan lion wore, Holds forth the goblet—while the Lydian queen,  Robed like a nymph, her brow enwreathed with vine,  Lifts high the amphora brimmed with rosy wine, And pours the draught the crownéd cup within. And thus the soul, abased to sensual sway, Its worth forsakes—its might foregoes for aye.

(or Here We Come A-Caroling) is a Christmas carol and New Years song. It refers to the 'wassail', a drink (typically mulled cider) that would be used in toasts at banquets or other large dinners.
Here we come a-wassailing Among the leaves so green Here we come a-wand'rin So fair to be seen.
CHORUS
Love and joy come to you, And to you your wassail too; And God bless you and send you A Happy New Year And God send you a Happy New Year
Our wassail cup is made Of the rosemary tree, And so is our beer Of the best barley:
CHORUS
We are not daily begga That beg from door to door But we are neighbours' children, Whom you have seen before.
CHORUS
Good master and good mistress, While you're sitting by the fire Pray think of us poor children Who wander in the mire.
CHORUS
God bless the master of this house Likewise the mistress too! And all the little children That 'round the table go.

# Historical Account of the Navigable Rivers, Canals, and Railways, of Great Britain/Bridgend Railway
## BRIDGEND RAILWAY.BRIDGEND RAILWAY.

9 George IV. Cap. 92, Royal Assent 19th June, 1828.
THIS line of railway commences at the Duifryn Llynvi and Pwll Cawl Railway, near the village of Ceffn Gribbwr, in the parish of Laleston, and proceeds in an eastwardly course to the River Ogmore, over which it crosses at a short distance south of the church of St. Bride's Minor, and thence proceeds, in the same direction, on the east bank of the same river, to the town of Bridgend, where it terminates.
The act for making this railway, is entitled, 'An Act for making and maintaining a Railway or Tramroad from the Dufryn Llynvi and Pwll Cawl, otherwise Porth Cawl Railway, to commence at a certain point therein, in the parish of Laleston, in the county of Glamorgan, and to terminate near to the town of Bridgend, in the same county.' The subscribers, at the time the act was obtained, were thirty-three in number, amongst whom were ​Sir J. Nicoll and Sir D. Mackworth. They were incorporated by the name of "The Bridgend Railway Company," with power to raise £6,000, in shares of £20 each, (of which £4,380 was subscribed before going to parliament,) and an additional sum of £4,000 on mortgage of the railroad and the rates authorized to be collected, should such sum be necessary to complete the same. Five years are allowed by the act for its completion. The concern is to be managed by a committee of five proprietors, who are subject to the control of general meetings.
The railway is four miles and a half in length, and is on one inclined plane to Bridgend, to which place there is a fall of 190 feet. The estimate for completing it amounts to £6,000, and was made by Mr. John Hodgkinson, civil engineer.

The principal object of this railroad is to facilitate the transmission of coal from the extensive collieries on the line of the Duffryn Llynvi and Pwll or Porth Cawl Railroad, to the town of Bridgend and its vicinity. It will also open a communication with the harbour of Pwll or Porth Cawl, which will be attended with considerable advantages to the trade of the above-mentioned town.
# Historical Account of the Navigable Rivers, Canals, and Railways, of Great Britain/Derwent River, Derbyshire

DERWENT RIVER.
       6 George I. Cap. 27, Royal Assent 7th April, 1720.
THIS river has its source on the western side of that well known mountainous tract, in the northern part of Derbyshire, called the High Peak; whence, it pursues a south-eastwardly course, forming, for some miles, the division between the counties of Derby and York; thence, to Dinbank, where its stream is considerably augmented by its junction with the mountain stream, called the Ashop. From this place its course is southerly, by Mytham Bridge, through a romantic country, by Baslow, and through the princely grounds of Chatsworth, the seat of the Duke of Devonshire; thence, to Rowsley, where the Wye falls into it. Its Course hence is by Matlock, Cromford, and Belper, to Derby. From the last-mentioned place, its course is more eastwardly and very circuitous, until it falls into the Trent, at Wilden Ferry, below Shardlow, and at the place where the Trent and Mersey or Grand Trunk Canal forms a junction with that river.
This river, from the Trent to the town of Derby, was made navigable under powers granted by an act of 6th George I. entitled 'An Act for making the River Derwent, in the county of Derby, navigable;' but, as by the making of the Derby Canal and branches, its use would be nearly superseded, all interest in it, as a navigation, was disposed of to the Derby Canal Company, for the sum of £3,996. The navigable part is thirteen miles in length, and it was used chiefly for the supply of Derby and its vicinity with coal.
# Historical Account of the Navigable Rivers, Canals, and Railways, of Great Britain/Brandling's Railroad
## BRANDLING'S RAILROAD.

       31 George II. Cap. 22, Royal Assent 9th June, 1758.
THIS railroad proceeds from the extensive collieries, situate at Middleton, (belonging to the Rev. R. H. Brandling,) about three miles south of the town of Leeds, and terminates at convenient staiths, near Meadow-lane in the above town. It is three miles in length, and was constructed under the powers of an act, entitled, 'An Act for establishing Agreements made between Charles Brandling, Esq. and other Persons, Proprietors of Lands, for laying down a Waggon Way, in order for the better supplying the town and neighbourhood of Leeds, in the county of York, with Coals.'
There are upon this railway two inclined planes, one at the southern corner of Hunslet Carr, and the other at Belleisle, near Middleton, upon which the full descending waggons, regulated by a brake, draw up the empty ones. It is here worthy of remark, that it was upon this railway that the powers of the locomotive engine were first applied in this part of the country, by the ingenious inventor, Mr. John Blenkinsop, the manager of the Middleton Collieries.

​ WILLIAM H. F. GURLEY was born in Washington, D. C., in 1830. When a lad he was chosen clerk of a committee on which Abraham Lincoln, who was a member of the House of Representatives, was serving. He was a favorite with the tall, awkward member from Illinois, who never forgot the bright, black-eyed boy clerk of his committee. When but sixteen years of age, young Gurley accompanied Dr. Owen of the United States Geological Survey on one of his exploring expeditions to the far west, where he obtained his first view of the great, wild prairies of Iowa as they were in 1846-7. He was so fascinated with the beauty of the picturesque rivers, woods, bluffs and rolling prairie, that he then determined some day to return and make his home in the new State. In 1854 he came to Davenport and opened a law office. He was an active Republican and in 1859 was nominated for Representative in the Eighth General Assembly and elected.

He was cut down on the threshold of what promised to be a useful and brilliant career at the early age of thirty-five.
