To Mr. E. T. Sturdy
SWITZERLAND,
5th August, 1896.
BLESSED AND BELOVED,
A letter came this morning from Prof. Max Müller telling me that the article of Shri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa has been published in The XIX Century August number. Have you read it? He asked my opinion about it. Not having seen it yet, I can't write anything to him. If you have it, kindly send it to me. Also The Brahmavadin, if any have arrived. Max Müller wants to know about our plans . . . and again about the magazine. He promises a good deal of help and is ready to write a book on Shri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa.
I think it is better that you should directly correspond with him about the magazine etc. You will see from his letter which I shall send you as soon as I have replied (after reading The XIX Century) that he is very much pleased with our movement and is ready to help it as much as he can. . . .
Yours with blessings and love,
VIVEKANANDA.
PS. I hope you will consider well the plan for the big magazine. Some money can be raised in America, and we can keep the magazine all to ourselves at the same time. I intend to write to America on hearing about the plan you and Prof. Max Muller decide upon. "A great tree is to be taken refuge in, when it has both fruits and shade. If, however, we do not get the fruit, who prevents our enjoyment of the shade?" So ought great attempts to be made, is the moral.

GRAND HOTEL,
VALAIS,
SWITZERLAND.
BLESSED AND BELOVED,
. . . I am reading a little, starving a good deal, and practising a good deal more. The strolls in the woods are simply delicious. We are now situated under three huge glaciers, and the scenery is very beautiful.
By the by, whatever scruples I may have had as to the Swiss-lake origin of the Aryans have been taken clean off my mind. The Swiss is a Tartar minus a pigtail. . . .
Yours ever affectionately,
VIVEKANANDA.

To Mr. E. T. Sturdy
228 WEST 39TH STREET,
NEW YORK,
16th January, 1896.
BLESSED AND BELOVED,
Many many thanks for the books. The Sankhya Karika is a very good book, and the Kurma Purana, though I do not find in it all expected, has a few verses on Yoga. The words dropped in my last letter were Yoga-Sutra, which I am translating with notes from various authorities. I want to incorporate the chapter in Kurma Purana in my notes. I have very enthusiastic accounts of your classes from Miss MacLeod. Mr. Galsworthy seems to be very much interested now.
I have begun my Sunday lectures here and also the classes. Both are very enthusiastically received. I make them all free and take up a collection to pay the hall etc. Last Sunday's lecture was very much appreciated and is in the press. I shall send you a few copies next week. It was the outline of our work.
As my friends have engaged a stenographer (Goodwin), all these class lessons and public lectures are taken down. I intend to send you a copy of each. They may suggest you some ideas.
My great want here is a strong man like you, possessing intellect, and ability, and love. In this nation of universal education, all seem to melt down into a mediocrity, and the few able are weighed down by the eternal money-making.
I have a chance of getting a piece of land in the country, and some buildings on it, plenty of trees and a river, to serve as a summer meditation resort. That, of course, requires a committee to look after it in my absence, as also the handling of money and printing and other matters.
I have separated myself entirely from money questions, yet without it the movement cannot go on. So necessarily I have to make over everything executive to a committee, which will look after these things in my absence. Steady work is not in the line of the Americans. The only way they work, is in a herd. So let them have it. As to the teaching part, my friends will go over this country from place to place, each one independent, and let them form independent circles. That is the easiest way to spread. Then, when there will be sufficient strength, we shall have yearly gatherings to concentrate our energies.
The committee is entirely executive and it is confined to New York alone. . . .
Ever yours with love and blessings,
VIVEKANANDA.

To Miss Mary Hale
DEAR SISTER,
I am afraid you are offended and did not answer any of my letters. Now I beg a hundred thousand pardons. By very good luck, I have found the orange cloth and am going to have a coat made as soon as I can. I am glad to hear you met Mrs. Bull. She is such a noble lady and kind friend. Now, sister, there are two very thin Sanskrit pamphlets in the house. Kindly send them over if it does not bother you. The books from India have arrived safe, and I had not to pay any duty on them. I am surprised that the rugs do not arrive yet. I have not been to see Mother Temple any more. I could not find time. Every little bit of time I get I spend in the library.
With everlasting love and gratitude to you all,
Ever your loving brother,
VIVEKANANDA.
PS. Mr. Howe has been a very constant student except the last few days. Kindly give my love to Miss Howe.

​De Quincey, Lieut.-Col. Paul Frederick, son of Thomas de Quincey, the great English writer, was born at Grasmere, Westmoreland, on Nov. 26th, 1828, and was educated at the High School, Edinburgh, and at the Lasswade School, near that city. He entered the army in 1845 as ensign in the 70th Regiment, and served with distinction in India from 1846 to 1860, when, having become successively captain and major of brigade on the permanent staff of the Bengal Presidency, he was ordered with his old regiment, which he had rejoined after serving with several others, for active service in New Zealand. Colonel de Quincey arrived in that colony in May 1861, served there for a time, commanded the 1st Company Transport Corps, and then rejoined his regiment; but seeing no prospect of returning to India without sacrificing his position, sold out, and turned his attention to farming, with the unsatisfactory results usually experienced by military men. In 1863, the war breaking out, and the Auckland Militia being called out for active service, he was appointed to the command of the left wing of the 3rd Battalion Artillery, with a captain's commission and without pay, and embodied it on those terms. Major-General Galloway, under whom he had served in India, on being appointed to the command of the colonial forces selected Captain de Quincey as his military secretary, to which appointment he was gazetted with the rank of major, and soon afterwards he was gazetted to a lieutenant-colonelcy. On General Galloway leaving the colony in 1864, he was succeeded in the command by Colonel ​Haultain, Lieut.-Col. de Quincey continuing as military secretary. Subsequent to the termination of the war in the Auckland province, he lived principally in the country till the year 1889, when, the office of Serjeant-at-Arms of the House of Representatives having become vacant, the appointment was conferred on him by the Speaker.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Great Auk

Edition of 1920. See also Great Auk on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
GREAT AUK. An extinct auk (Plautus impennis), much like the existing razor-bill, but larger (nearly the size of a goose), with a larger bill and relatively smaller wings; formerly called garefowl. It was black above and white below, with a conspicuous white patch in front of the eye. It was an expert swimmer and diver, but unable to fly on account of the very small size of its wings. The habits of the garefowl were those of auks generally, but its range was limited on the American coast to the vicinity of Newfoundland. It seems never to have lived north of the Arctic Grcle; but its bones in shell-heaps testify to its former occurrence, at least in migrations, southward as far as Florida. These birds bred on small islands off the coast of Iceland, and on the Orkneys and Hebrides. Early in the 19th century they disappeared from these haunts, mainly through the persecution of fishermen and sailors who had for years killed them for food, bait and feathers; but they lingered somewhat longer in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Cartier's vessels visited Funk Island in 1534, and the crews easily filled two boats with the birds which they knocked down with sticks; and their abundance was mentioned as one of the inducements for settlers to come to Newfoundland. For many years the colony was ruthlessly harried, yet a few pairs survived until about 1840. A small breeding-place remained in Iceland until 1844, when the last few pairs were killed as museum specimens. The skins of this auk have been sold for $650, and an egg for $2,500. About 78 specimens of the bird are preserved in museums throughout Europe and America. Consult Newton's ‘Dictionary of Birds,’ article
‘Garefowl,’ and articles by F. A. Lucas in ‘Reports United States National Museum’ for 1887-88 and for 1888-89.

MASARYK’S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED IN WASHINGTON.
The capital of the United States in which Masaryk received notification of his election to the presidency of the Czechoslovak Republic sixteen months ago was the scene of an elaborate celebration of his seventieth birthday on March 7.

Hurban, military attaché of the legation, and Mrs. Olga Hurban, by Mrs. Henry M. Ferguson, sister of President Masaryk’s wife, and by Mrs. Michael Gallagher and Miss Ferguson, also related to the family.

Among the distinguished guests were Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of President Wilson, French ambassador J. J. Jusserand, dean of the Washington diplomatic corps, Spanish ambassador Riano, Italian ambassador Baron Avezzano, Belgian and Argentine ambassadors, Jugoslav and Swiss ministers, secretary of the British embassy, the papal delegate Archbishop Bonzano, Admiral Rousseau, Czechoslovak Consul General Kopecký and many other diplomats and official personages.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 4/Halek's Evening songs

HALEK’S EVENING SONGS.
A regrettable error occurred in the last issue in the printing of Dr. Štýbr’s translation of Hálek’s Songs. Two stanzas belonging to song No. 6 were misplaced so that they appeared in print as part of song No. 3. The two songs should have read as follows:
3.
Though all the world has gone to sleep, The heart wakes in the body, And God himself knows that the heart Ne’er sleeps for anybody.
The whole God’s world is silence-bound, The heart still goes, well rated, And God himself knows that the heart Gets never fatigated.
Sleep is the conqueror of thought, Night is day’s alternation— But in the breast the heart e’er wakes And guards its love’s sweet passion.
6.
My sweethart, come, kneel down with me Now is the time for us to pray— The moon has risen o’er the woods And my time has just passed away.
But, darling, do not clasp Thy hands; Embrace me as I Thee with mine— And thus, instead of clasping hands, Two hearts will in one prayer join.
Thy lips then press Thou close to mine; From one mouth let the prayer rise— Let me the words press on Thy lips, And Thou send them to paradise.
Our prayer shall be strong, indeed, Our offer purest in that case— For angels, too, when they do pray, Are praying just in such embrace.

​In view of the fact that the French government will open offices in New York, Chicago and other cities for the purpose of attracting tourist trade to French resorts and battlefields, it would seem advisable for the Czechoslovak Government to advertise the famous watering places of the Republic, like Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad). Even the poor, bankrupt Vienna is advertising its hotels in American daily papers.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 4/Four Czech doctors studying in America

FOUR CZECH DOCTORS STUDYING IN AMERICA.
The Rockefeller Foundation for Medical Research has granted fellowships to four Czechoslovak physicians to enable them to study American methods of public health administration. All of them had medical experience during the war and one of them was wounded in the discharge of his duties.
Dr. Zdeněk Bernard, 29 years old, received his doctor’s degree at the University of Prague in ​1914; during the war he served as physician in cholera and epidemic cases; after 1917 he became assistant in the hospital for invalids in Prague. He intends to make a special study of the organization of hygienic work in factories. Dr. Karel Dřimal was also graduated from the medical faculty of the University of Prague in 1914, passed an examination in ship hygiene and tropical diseases and qualified as an officer of the state board of health. Dr. Hynek Pelc received his degree in 1918 and saw service with the Czechoslovak invalids in Cognac, France. Dr. Jaroslav Hulka, the last member of the party, is a recent graduate who will specialize in tuberculosis problems.
After completing their studies in the United States these men will return to Czechoslovakia to aid in the program of public health and medical education.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 4/Los Angeles takes notice of Czechoslovaks

LOS ANGELES TAKES NOTICE OF CZECHOSLOVAKS.
Mrs. Clara V. Winlow, author of several books dealing with the Czechoslovaks, has been placed in charge of Foreign Extension Work of the Public Library of Los Angeles. The object of her work is to bring about a broad and friendly understanding and sympathy between the American and foreign groups in the city. Her program includes talks at foreign societies in foreign languages, and addresses in English on the art, literature and music of foreign countries; exhibits showing something of the wonderful folk art inheritance that foreigners bring to this country will be a feature of her work.
Her first accomplishment in this line is the exhibit of sixty etchings of a Czech artist of New York, J. C. Vondrouš, loaned by Dr. Henry J. John who is temporarily in California. While these etchings were on exhibit, Dr. John gave a talk to a large audience in the library auditorium on the problems confronting the foreign born on coming to this country. A collection of Czech and Slovak books will be added to the Los Angeles library’s collections of foreign literature.
