# Dictionary of National Biography, 1927 supplement/McDonnell, Schomberg Kerr

​McDONNELL, Sir SCHOMBERG KERR (1861–1915), civil servant, the fifth son of Mark, fifth Earl of Antrim, of the second creation, by his wife, Jane Emma Hannah, daughter of Major Turner Macan, of Carriff, co. Armagh, was born at Glenarm Castle, co. Antrim, 22 March 1861. He was educated at Eton and at University College, Oxford, and afterwards gained experience as private secretary to the fourth Earl of Carnarvon [q.v.] and to the sixth Duke of Buccleuch. These ​appointments, and his own natural gifts, fitted him admirably for intimate contact with the high officials of state, and in 1888 he became principal private secretary to the prime minister, the Marquess of Salisbury. In 1892, when Lord Salisbury left office and headed the conservative opposition, he retained the services of McDonnell as his political private secretary, and McDonnell took a prominent part in party organization and especially in the work of the Central Conservative Association. Three years later the conservatives returned to power, and McDonnell again took up the duties of principal private secretary to Lord Salisbury, and for four years filled that arduous office with distinction. The outbreak of the Boer War called him from this post to active service; and, as a captain in the City of London Imperial Volunteers, he took part in that campaign until 1900, when he returned to England. After a short rest, necessitated by a slight breakdown in health, he resumed his secretarial duties with Lord Salisbury; and two years later (1902), on the latter's retirement, McDonnell was appointed secretary to the Office of Works in succession to Viscount Esher, and created K.C.B.
In his new post McDonnell found great scope for his discriminating artistic taste, and he effected many striking improvements in the royal parks. The erection of the Queen Victoria Memorial (1911), the coronation of King George V (1911), and the investiture of the Prince of Wales at Carnarvon Castle in the same year, cast a great burden of additional work upon his shoulders; and the strain of these duties, which seemed at one time to threaten his life, caused him to retire in 1912. For ten crowded years he had carried out the exacting duties of his difficult post with conspicuous success, and during that time, as indeed throughout his life, he showed a genius for friendship which endeared him to all with whom he came into close contact. In the European War McDonnell, graded as staff captain, acted for some months as chief intelligence officer of the home district at the Horse Guards. He desired, however, a more active participation in the struggle than this appointment afforded, so he quietly threw up the post and joined the 5th Cameron Highlanders. Within three weeks he was mortally wounded on the Western front in Flanders, and died 23 November 1915 at Abeele, where his remains were interred. He married, in 1913, Ethel Henry, daughter of Major Alexander H. Davis, of La Floridiana, Naples. There were no children of the marriage.

Ahithophel Brother of insipidity or impiety, a man greatly renowned for his sagacity among the Jews. At the time of Absalom's revolt he deserted David (Ps. 41:9; 55:12-14) and espoused the cause of Absalom (2 Sam. 15:12). David sent his old friend Hushai back to Absalom, in order that he might counteract the counsel of Ahithophel (2 Sam. 15:31-37). This end was so far gained that Ahithophel saw he had no longer any influence, and accordingly he at once left the camp of Absalom and returned to Giloh, his native place, where, after arranging his wordly affairs, he hanged himself, and was buried in the sepulchre of his fathers (2 Sam. 17:1-23). He was the type of Judas (Ps. 41:9).

Ahimelech Brother of the king, the son of Ahitub and father of Abiathar (1 Sam. 22:20-23). He descended from Eli in the line of Ithamar. In 1 Chr. 18:16 he is called Abimelech, and is probably the same as Ahiah (1 Sam. 14:3, 18). He was the twelfth high priest, and officiated at Nob, where he was visited by David (to whom and his companions he gave five loaves of the showbread) when he fled from Saul (1 Sam. 21:1-9). He was summoned into Saul's presence, and accused, on the information of Doeg the Edomite, of disloyalty because of his kindness to David; whereupon the king commanded that he, with the other priests who stood beside him (86 in all), should be put to death. This sentence was carried into execution by Doeg in the most cruel manner (1 Sam. 22:9-23). Possibly Abiathar had a son also called Ahimelech, or the two names, as some think, may have been accidentally transposed in 2 Sam. 8:17; 1 Chr. 18:16, marg.; 24:3, 6, 31.

​SHÊN Han-kuang 申涵光 (T. 孚孟, 和孟, H. 鳧盟, 聰山, 臥樗老人), Jan. 4, 1620–1677, July 5, poet, philosopher and artist, was a native of Yung-nien, Chihli. His father, Shên Chia-yin 申佳胤 (T. 孔嘉, 1602–1644), took his own life as a martyr to the Ming cause and was canonized as Tuan-min 端愍 in the Ch'ing period. Shên Han-kuang showed early in his career an interest in literature, taking for his model the T'ang poet, Tu Fu (see under Ch'ou Chao-ao). He and two friends, Yin Yüeh 殷岳 (T. 宗山, 伯嚴, 1603–1670) and Chang Kai 張蓋 (T. 覆輿, 命士), were known as "The Three Geniuses of Southern Chihli" (畿南三才子). A contemporary poet, Wang Shih-chên [q. v.], stated that Shên Han-kuang really set the standard of poetry for the region north of the Yellow River. After traveling in Shantung and Shansi he visited Sun Ch'i-fêng [q. v.] in 1657 at the latter's home in Honan and became his disciple. From then on his interest in pure literature diminished and he devoted himself to the philosophy of human nature. He was several times recommended for official appointments, but always declined. In addition to being a poet, he was an accomplished calligrapher, a landscape painter and a skillful player of the lute (琴). His collected poems and other works, together with writings of his father and two younger brothers, as well as other members of the Shên family, are reproduced in the Chi-fu ts'ung-shu (see under Ts'ui Shu) under the title 永年申氏遺書 Yung-nien Shên-shih i-shu.
His two younger brothers, Shên Han-yü 申涵煜 (T. 觀仲, 1628–1694) and Shên Han-pan 申涵盼 (T. 隨叔, 1638–1682), were also well known, and both received their education under his direction. The former was a poet, calligrapher, and painter; the latter, a chin-shih of 1661, compiled in 1676 the gazetteer of their home prefecture, 廣平府志 Kuang-p'ing-fu chih.

​SHÊN T'ung 沈彤 (T. 冠[貫]雲, H. 果堂), 1688–1752, Nov. 30, classicist, was a native of Wu-chiang, Kiangsu. When young, he studied under Ho Ch'o [q. v.], but when in 1736 he was recommended to be admitted to the special po-hsüeh hung-tz'ŭ examination in Peking (see under Liu Lun), he was so deliberate in composing his poem that he had not finished it by midnight and therefore failed to qualify. He remained a licentiate all his life. Shên also studied under Chang Po-hsing [q. v.] and Yang Ming-shih 楊名時 (T. 賓實, 凝齋, 1661–1736). After his failure at the special examination he was invited to aid in the compilation of the San Li i-shu (see under Fang Pao) and the Ta-Ch'ing i-t'ung chih (see under Hsü Ch'ien-hsüeh). This task completed, he was granted an appointment of low order (ninth grade); but because he was ashamed of his ​inability to secure a higher position, and because of the advanced age of his parents, he returned to his home in Kiangsu, without entering into the duties of his office. Shên loved the mountains and rivers, especially those of antiquarian interest, and travelled in Shantung, Honan, Anhwei and other places. It is said of him that when he was on expeditions of this sort he would forget to return home. He was particularly noted for his filial piety and fraternal love. Having no son of his own, he adopted a nephew, Shên P'ei-ying 沈培英, who followed his foster-father as a student of the Classics. Shên was fortunate in the quality of his friends and associates. Among these were such notables as Fang Pao, Li Fu, Ch'üan Tsu-wang (who wrote his epitaph) and A-k'o-tun [qq. v.], who invited him to his home to educate his sons. After his death his disciples gave him privately the posthumous name Wên-hsiao 文孝.
Shên's specialty was the study of ancient ceremonials. His best work, according to the judgment of the Ssŭ-k'u (see under Chi Yün), is the 周官祿田考 Chou kuan lu t'ien k'ao, 3 chüan, which he wrote in the winter of 1751. His next best work is the 儀禮小疏 I-li hsiao shu, one chüan, unfinished—a collection of annotations to five chapters of the Decorum Ritual. Quotations from it appear in the I-li i-shu (see under Fang Pao). There is a collection of his shorter works under the title: 果堂集 Kuo-t'ang chi, 12 chüan, of which two prefaces by a relative, Shên Tê-ch'ien [q. v.], are dated 1749 and 1754. One essay in this collection is physiologico-lexicographical, the 釋骨 Shih-ku, or "Treatise on Bones". Shên was the author of two other physiological or medical books, the 內經本論 Nei-ching pên lun and the 氣穴考略 Ch'i hsüeh k'ao lüeh, 5 chüan, neither of which was published. He took part in the compilation of gazetteers for the Wu-chiang and Chên-ts'ê districts, Kiangsu, 59 and 38 chüan respectively, both completed in 1746.
Shên's work is commended for his simple, unadorned style, and for his criticism of those who stressed form at the expense of meaning, and of those who spent their energies on minute textual analysis for fear of not being exhaustive.

# Edwin Brothertoft/Part III Chapter XXI
### Chapter XXI.

“I am Fire, a new-comer on the scene at Brothertoft Manor-House.
“I was a spark from Jierck Dewitt’s flint, a flash of his powder, a feeble smoulder, a pretty, graceful little flame, peering about for something nutritious. I was weak. I get force as I go. Let me once fairly touch fuel, and I will roar you, roar you, — ay, and roast you too!
“What a grand pile of rubbish I see, now that I can light up this dusky den of a cellar! Let me burrow here! Let me scamper here! Aha, I am warm and strong! A leap now! Hurrah! I am so large and vigorous that I can multiply myself. Go, little flames, rummage everywhere. Blaze, my children, flash in the corners, find what you like, eat and grow fierce. Grow fierce and agile! I mean to exhibit you by and by. You must presently run up stairs, make yourselves broad and slender, dance, exult, and devour everywhere.
“A drop of the famous Brothertoft Madeira, now, for Fire and family! Here goes at the wine-room. I cannot stop to draw corks. Down go the shelves! Crash go the bottles! Drink, flames, drink! What nectar! How this black hole of a cellar shines! Fine wine makes me hungry for finer fare! I could eat titbits now. Perhaps I shall find them up stairs. A cradle with a fat bambino, — that would be a sweet morsel! A maiden’s bed with a white-limbed maiden on it, — that I could take finely. Come flames, my children, up stairs, and let us see what we can find! Up, my strongest, my hungriest, my drunkest flames! up and follow!
“I am Fire! This house and all that be in it are mine!”
