Thomas Rymer.
A Gentleman born in the North of England, the Country of his Family, but I cannot be positive to the County; of which University he was I know not, but his first Applications in this Town were to the Law in Grays-Inn. However, his Learning and Love to Poetry led him to a Consideration of those Authors, which set him up for a Critic; and it must be confess'd, that he has merited some Praise in his Preface to Rapin, and the first part of this ​View of the Tragedies of the last Age; tho’ I cannot so much as agree with those that allow most of the Errors he has found in Shakespear, Just; for I’m confident it may be made Evident, that not the fifth part have any Justice. He, since the Death of Mr. Shadwell, has the Place of Historiographer to his Majesty, for which Office ’tis certain his Learning very well qualifies him.

# The Mahabharata/Book 1: Adi Parva/Section CLXXVI

SECTION CLXXVI
( Chaitra-ratha Parva continued )
Vaisampayana said, "That bulJ among the Bharatas, Arjuna, hearing these words of the Gandharva, was inspired with feelings of devotion and stood confestly like the full moon. And that mighty bowman, that foremost one in Kuru's race having his curiosity greatly excited by what he heard of Vasistha's ascetic power, asked the Oandharvet, saying I desire to hear of the Rishi whom thou hast mentioned as Vasistha. O, tell me in full about him ! O chief of the Gandharvas, tell me who this illustrious RiM was that was the priest of our forefathers !' The Gandharva replied 'Vasistha is Brahma's spiritual (lit. mind-born) son and Arundhati's husband. Ever difficult of being conquered by the very immortals, Desire and Wrath, conquered by Vasistha's ascetic penances, used to shampoo his feet. Though his wrath was excited by Viswamitra's offence, that high-souled Rishi did not yet exterminate Kusikas (the tribe whose king Viswamitra was). Afflicted at the loss of his sons, he did not, as though powerless, though really otherwise, do any dreadful act destructive of Viswamitra. Like the ocean transgressing not its continents, Vasistha transgressed not (the laws of) Yama by bringing back his children from the domains of the king of the dead. It was by obtaining that illustrious one who had conquered his own self that Ikshaku and other great monarchs acquired the whole Earth. And O prince of Kuru's race, it was by obtaining Vasistha, that best of Rishis as their priest that those monarchs performed many grand sacrifices. And O best of the Pandavas, that regenerate Rishi assisted these monarchs in the performance of their sacrifices like Vrihaspati assisting the immortals. Therefore, look ye for some accomplished and desirable Brahmana conversant with the Vedas and in whose heart virtue prevails, to appoint as your priest ! A Kshatriya of good lineage, desirous of extending his dominions by conquering the Earth, should, O Partha, first appoint a priest ! He who is desirous of conquering the Earth should have a Brahmana before him. Therefore, O Arjuna, let some accomplished and learned Brahmana, who has his senses under complete control and who is conversant with religion, profit and pleasure, be your priest !" Thus ends the hundred and seventy-sixth section in the Chaitra-ratha Parva of the Adi Parva.

# The Lives and Characters of the English Dramatick Poets/Thomas Scot

Thomas Scot.
An Author yet living, he was a Westminster Scholar, and lately a Student in Cambridge, who has given the Town two new Plays in Appearance, at least two new Titles, the first in Order, and writing, is,
The Mock Marriage, a Comedy, 4 to. acted at the Theatre in Dorset-Garden, by his Majesty’s Servants, 1696. This Author has given us no Proof of his Talent in Flattery, for he has dedicated neither of those Plays he has appeared in; but he has that part of a Poet however, of flattering himself (as indeed every Man does more or less) in defending what the Town has once condemned, for tho’ a bad Play may take, yet we hear very few Instances that a good one miscarried; ’tis true, this is like other general Rules, not without its Exception. This particular Play met with pretty good Success, for the Season of the Year, considering it the first Essay of a young Writer, unacquainted with the Town.
​The Unhappy Kindness; or, A Fruitless Revenge, a Tragedy, 4 to. acted at the Theatre Royal, 1696. This Play is only the Wife for a Month of Fletcher’s alter’d, tho’ he has thought fit to retain its greatest Faults, in the Character of the Wife, whose Behaviour to her Husband, to provoke him to ease her of her Maiden-head, is by no means agreeable to the Modesty of the Sex, which is a Sin against the Manners.

# The New International Encyclopædia/Swallowtail

Edition of 1905. See also Swallowtail butterfly on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
SWALLOWTAIL. Any member of a family of large butterflies, Papilionidæ, with tail-like prolongations of the hind wings. Black, yellow, blue, and green are the prevailing colors. About 25 species occur in the United States. South America is most rich in these butterflies. About 700 species have been described in all. The
larvæ of the swallowtails possess a curious process on the thorax called an ‘osmaterium,’ which is usually retracted, but may be thrust forth at will. It is a Y-shaped process and contains a scent-gland which emits a strong odor when the organ is thrust out. The pupa is placed with the head upward, fastened by the tail to the supporting object, and is kept in place by a silk band around the middle of the body. (See Butterflies; also Plate under Butterflies, Fig. 5.) In certain species the males and females differ so much both in form and coloration that they might easily be mistaken for distinct species. In New Guinea there occurs a swallow-tail butterfly (Ornithoptera paradisea) the female of which is black, white, and gray, and the male is gold and green, with very long tails on the hind wings. The males of another species of the same genus are numerous and the female is rare; the proportion is said to be about 1000 to 15. Not only does the female show sexual dimorphism, but even considerable seasonal dimorphism. The tiger swallowtail (Jasoniades glaucus) is a North American species which shows a striking sexual dimorphism in a portion of its range. The form now known as Turnus is straw-colored above, banded and marked with black. In the South and West black forms of the female sex occur, and belong to the so-called ‘glaucus’ form. The caterpillar of these two forms is dark green with two purple eye-spots, one on each side of the third thoracic segment, which are bordered with black, yellow, and black again in turn. When not feeding, this caterpillar rests on a bed of silk spun on a leaf. The zebra swallowtail (Iphiclides Ajax) presents one of the most striking cases of seasonal dimorphism known among butterflies, so that until the life-history of this form was known three different species had been described from it. There are several broods a season and the last brood winters in the chrysalis stage. The butterflies that appear in the early spring are known as the Marcellus form and those that appear later in the spring as the Telamonides form. The latter are larger butterflies with longer tails and more white than the Marcellus form. (See Colored Plate of American Butterflies.) All the late spring broods produce a third form which is still larger and with longer tails. This summer brood is known as the Ajax form. See illustration at Skipper.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Swamp Hare

Edition of 1905. See also Swamp rabbit on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
SWAMP HARE, or Swamp Rabbit. A hare of the swamps of the Lower Mississippi Valley (Lepus aquaticus), 24 inches long, finely mottled above with buff, rufous, and black, and more buffy than the ‘cottontail;’ belly and under side of tail pure white. Its habits are little known. Compare Marsh Hare.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Swampscott

Edition of 1905. See also Swampscott, Massachusetts on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
SWAMP'SCOTT. A town, including several villages, in Essex County, Mass., adjoining Lynn and 13 miles from Boston; on Massachusetts Bay, and on the Boston and Maine Railroad (Map: Massachusetts, F 3). It is attractively situated and is known as a summer resort. There are two parks, a public library with 7,300 volumes in the town hall, and the Phillips School, the most prominent building along the shore. Fishing is of some importance, but the community is engaged largely in the industries of Lynn (q.v.). The government is administered by town meetings. The water-works are owned and operated by the town. Population, in 1890, 3198; in 1900, 4548.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Swan

Edition of 1905. See also Swan on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
SWAN (AS., OHG. swan, Ger. Schwan, swan; probably connected with Lat. sonus, sound, Skt. svan, to resound) . A water-bird of the duck family, the seven or eight species of which constitute the subfamily Cygninæ, composed mainly of the genera Cygnus and Olor, the latter distinguished by the great keel of the breast-bone being divided into two plates, between which lies the curvature of the windpipe—an organ greatly developed in this group. Swans are larger in body than geese, and are recognizable by their long arched necks, enabling them to reach food on the bottom of streams and shallow ponds without diving. They nest mostly in high latitudes, constructing on the ground a rude receptacle of rushes and the like for the half a dozen greenish eggs. They feed chiefly on vegetable substances, as the seeds and roots of aquatic plants, but also on fish-spawn, of which they are great destroyers. They hiss like geese, and strike with their wings in attack or defense.
The typical and most familiar example of the tribe is the tame or ‘mute’ swan (Cygnus olor), which is about five feet in entire length, and weighs about thirty pounds. It is known to live for at least fifty years. The male is larger than the female. The adults of both sexes are pure white, with a reddish bill; the young (cygnets) have a dark bluish-gray plumage, and lead-colored bill, surmounted by a black knob at the base of
the upper mandible, and with a black nail. (See Colored Plate of Water Birds.) In its wild state this species is found in Eastern Europe and in Asia; in a half-domesticated state it has long been a common ornament of ponds, lakes, and rivers. The ancients ascribed to it remarkable musical powers, which it was supposed to exercise particularly when its death approached. It has, in reality, a soft low voice, plaintive, and with little variety, to be heard chiefly when it is moving about with its young.
Swans, according to the law of England, are birds royal; those actually kept by the Crown had a mark, and the King's swan-herd once was an important person. The royal swans of the Thames are so marked to this day by notches and lines cut upon the beak, and the process of collecting and marking them annually is called ‘upping.’ Other Old World swans are the Polish, with an orange bill; the whistling swan or ‘whooper;’ Bewick's swan, and the aberrant black swan (Chenopis atrata) of Australia, which is comparatively small and deep black except the white wing-quills and the red bill.
The North American swans belong to the genus Olor. The most common species (Olor Columbianus) breeds in the far North and is seen in the United States only on its migrations, which extend to the Gulf of Mexico; and it is very rare east of the Alleghanies. The trumpeter swan (Olor buccinator), noted for its sonorous cry, breeds from Iowa and Dakota northward, and winters southward to the Gulf. It is one of the largest species, measuring 5½ feet in length. The black-necked and duck-billed swans are South American species. See Duck, and authorities there cited.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Swallowthorn

Edition of 1905. See also Sea-buckthorn on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
SWALLOWTHORN, or Sea-Buckthorn (Hippophaë). A genus of shrubs of the natural order Elæagnaceæ, natives of Europe. The commonest species (Hippophaë rhamnoides) is a spiny shrub often planted for ornament in sandy soil, especially near the sea. It is valued for its silvery leaves and yellow, acid, one-seeded berries, which, besides being attractive, are useful for sauces and jellies.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Swammerdam, Jan

Edition of 1905. See also Jan Swammerdam on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
SWAMMERDAM, swäm'mẽr-däm, Jan (1637-80). A Dutch naturalist, born in Amsterdam. He studied medicine at Leyden, but devoted most of his life to the study of insects and other animals. He was a skilled dissector of small animals, and was the father of the scientific study of the morphology and metamorphosis of insects. He first made a natural classification of insects by distingiiishing between those which have a complete metamorphosis and those which have not. He wrote: De Respiratione usuque Pulmonum (1667); Allgemeene verhandeling van
bloedeloose diertjes (1669); Biblia Naturæ, sive Historia Insectorum in Certas Classes Redacta (ed. Boerhaave, 1737-38).
# The New International Encyclopædia/Swamp Warbler

Edition of 1905. See also Golden-winged Warbler on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
* GOLDENWING.
SWAMP WARBLER. A large genus (Helminthophila) of American warblers (q.v.), so called because of their fondness for low, swampy places. They are small, trim, insect-catching migratory birds prevailingly gray or green and yellow in color, and most of them breed north of the United States and winter in the tropics. A good example is the ‘golden-wing’ (Helminthophila chrysoptera), which is gray on the upper parts and white below, with the throat and auricular region black, and a conspicuous yellow patch on the wing.
