​DOYLE, Richard, artist, born in London, in 1826, is a son of Mr. John Doyle, a gentleman of Irish extraction, and the reputed author of the celebrated "H. B." sketches. He first attracted attention by his sportive and graceful designs from life and manners of the day, in Punch, to which he was a constant contributor for several years; but in 1850 he severed this connection in consequence of its incessant attacks upon his Roman Catholic brethren, and especially upon Cardinal Wiseman. By this step he voluntarily sacrificed, for conscience' sake, what was in itself a secure and handsome income, Mr. Doyle's fancy and feeling have been shown in his illustrations to the "Fairy King," to Leigh Hunt's "Jar of Honey," to Ruskin's "King of the Golden River," to Montalba's "Fairy Tales from all Nations," to "Jack the Giant-killer," and to similar books. In 1854 he published "The Continental Tour of Messrs. Brown, Jones, and Robinson," ​contributed the illustrations to "The Newcomes," by his friend Thackeray, and some capital sketches of modern English society to the Cornhill Magazine. Mr. Doyle published a Christmas book for 1869, called "In Fairy Land: Pictures from the Elf World."

He served in China and South America, and was present at all the operations in the Parana (1845–46), especially at Punta Obligado, where he assisted in cutting the chain that defended the river. Afterwards he served in the Baltic and the Gulf of Bothnia (1854), and as Lieutenant of H.M.S. Weser was present at Sebastopol, and in several operations in the Sea of Azof; he was twice mentioned in despatches, and received the Victoria Cross for hazardous service in the Putrid Sea. He commanded H.M.S. Fury in 1859, and in July of that year he ​led a division of seamen in the attack on the Taku Forts. For this service he was highly praised in despatches, and promoted to H.M.S.

After going to Cape Town for the cure of his wounds, he returned to England, when he was nominated a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath, and appointed a Groom-in-Waiting to the Queen. Sir J. E. Commerell was second in command of the Mediterranean Fleet from July, 1877. to Oct., 1878, and was a Lord of the Admiralty from Oct., 1879, to May, 1880.

# Magdalen (Machar)/Front matter

MAGDALEN
J· S· MACHAR
THE SLAVIC TRANSLATIONS BY LEO WIENER
MAGDALEN
BY J· S· MACHAR
# Magdalen (Machar)/Introductory note

INTRODUCTORY NOTE
THE Bohemians have been the torchbearers in the Slavic revival which has awakened the dormant national consciousness of the minor Slavic peoples, and which had indirectly brought Russian literature to its fullest fruition. This task was accomplished by the great Čech philologists and historians of the first half of the nineteenth century, but the Čechs have also contributed substantially to the great and growing Slavic literature, which bids fair te occupy the foremost rank in the near future.
Bohemia is particularly rich in its poetic output. Until the appearance of J. S. Machar, Jaroslav Vrchlický, the Čech Longfellow, was considered the leading poet, even as he was the most voluminous. Machar himself, who was born at Kolin in 1864 of poor artisans and for the last twenty years has been a bank official at Vienna, began his ​literary career in Vrchlický’s style, but he showed from the very start a strong tendency to neglect mere form and to treat reality in a straightforward and sober way, hence his poems lose little by being rendered in prose form. In his earnestness of purpose he is not unlike Tolstoy, from whom he differs by his advocacy of a life full of vigor, and not of asceticism. With Tolstoy, however, he shares a hatred of all shams; hence, though an ardent patriot, he despises the banality of the demagogues and of political charlatanism. This attitude is expressed most trenchantly in his “Tristium Vindobona,” considered by his countrymen as having killed jingoism and the high-sounding patriotic phrase in Bohemia.
In 1894 appeared his “Magdalen,” in which he mercilessly attacked those provincial philistines who would block the fervent endeavors of a fallen woman to be restored to a life of decency. Of his later poems probably the most remarkable is “Golgotha,” in which he glorifies Christ, as he appeared to him to have been in reality, and not in St. Paul’s philosophic transmutation.
​The pronunciation of the Čech names should cause no difficulty. The stress accent is always on the first syllable. The vowels have the Italian values, those with an accent being the corresponding long ones, and e sounding as ye. J sounds as y, c as ts, ch as kh; č, š, ž, ř are respectively ch, sh, zh, rzh. Thus Jiří sounds Yeer’-zhee, Machar is Mah’-khar, Vrchlický is Virkh’-lits-kee, etc.

​ACLAND, Henry Wentworth, M.D., F.R.S., Hon. D.C.L., of Edinburgh and Cambridge, and Hon. M.D. Dublin, C.R. Empire of Brazil, fourth son of Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, Bart., was born in 1815, and educated at Harrow and Christ Church, Oxford. He was elected, in 1841, to a fellowship at All Souls. He took the degree of M.D. at Oxford in 1848, having been appointed Lee's Reader in Anatomy in 1845. In that capacity, with several able assistants, especially Professors Beale, Victor Carus, Melville, and Mr. Charles Robertson, he made the extensive Christ Church Physiological Series, on the plan of John Hunter, now in the Oxford University Museum. That institution owes its existence in great measure to his labours. Dr. Acland became Regius Professor of Medicine in 1858, and Radcliffe Librarian; was appointed a member of Mr. Gathorne Hardy's Cubic Space Commission in 1866, and of the Royal Sanitary Commission from 1869 to 1872. He represented the University of Oxford on the Medical Council from 1858 to 1875; has been President of the British Medical Association and President of the Physiological section of the British Association, and Public Health Lecturer of the Social Science Association. He published a treatise on the "Plains of Troy" in 1839. He has written several works on medical, scientific, and sanitary subjects, including an important "Memoir on the Visitation of Cholera in Oxford in 1854." He accompanied the Prince of Wales to America in 1860 as his medical attendant, and on his return was appointed honorary physician to his Royal Highness. Dr. Acland was Physician to H.R.H. Prince Leopold during his Oxford career. He has been President of the Medical Council.

​ADAMS, William Henry Davenport, author and journalist, born 1829, began his career as the editor of a provincial newspaper, and, removing to the metropolis at an early age, became connected with several influential journals and periodicals. Of late years he has devoted himself almost entirely to book-writing, producing numerous works of a miscellaneous character, and an annotated edition of the Plays of Shakspere. His adaptations from the French of Louis Figuier and Arthur Mangin have done good service to the cause of popular science in this country, and his translations of those famous rhapsodies of the late M. Michelet, "The Bird," "The Sea," "The Mountain," and "The Insect," have obtained popularity. Mr. Davenport Adams has also reproduced in English, from the manuscript of Mdme. Michelet, her charming monograph on "Nature, or the Poetry of Earth and Sea." His other publications, numbering upwards of a hundred, cannot, of course, be mentioned in detail; but we may refer to "The Bird World," "The Arctic World," "The Mediterranean Illustrated," "Episodes of Anglo-Indian History," "Woman's Work and Worth," "Women of Fashion and Representative Women in Letters and Society," 1878; "English Party-Leaders and English Parties, from Walpole to Peel," 2 vols., 1878; "Hours of the Cross," 1880; and "Plain Living and High Thinking," 1881. Mr. Adams was editor of The Scottish Guardian from June, 1870, to Dec., 1877. His son, Mr. W. Davenport Adams, has produced a "Dictionary of English Literature," and a work on "Famous Books," besides publishing three collections of annotated poetry, entitled "Lyrics of Love from Shakspere to Tennyson," "The Comic Poets of the Nineteenth Century," and "Latter-Day Lyrics."
