# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Tidferth

​TIDFERTH or TIDFRITH (d. 823?), bishop of Dunwich, succeeded Alfhun (d. 798?) as ninth bishop of that see. His profession of obedience to Ethelheard, archbishop of Canterbury, made either on his consecration or on his reconciliation after the abolition of the archbishopric of Lichfield, is extant in Cotton MS. Cleopatra ​E. 1. From 798 to 816 he attests charters with great regularity (Kemble, Codex Diplomaticus, passim). In 798 he was present at a synod at Clovesho, and in 801 at another held at Chelsea. He attended the famous council at Clovesho in 803, and about the same time received a letter of advice from Alcuin, who had heard of Tidferth's exemplary life from an East-Anglian abbot named Lull (Mon. Alcuin. ed. Dümmler, p. 739). Tidferth was also present at the council of Chelsea in August 816, which legislated on the method of consecrating churches, electing abbots and abbesses, and forbade the admission of Scots to ministerial functions (Cotton. MS. Vespasian A. xiv. f. 147; Wilkins, Concilia, i. 169–71). After 816 there is no trace of a bishop of Dunwich until 824, by which time Tidferth was dead. He must be distinguished from a contemporary Tidfrith or Tilferd, the last bishop of Hexham who held that see at the beginning of the ninth century (Richard of Hexham, Surtees Soc. p. 45).

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Tidey, Alfred

​TIDEY, ALFRED (1808–1892), miniature-painter, second son of John Tidey, schoolmaster, was born at Worthing House, Sussex, on 20 April 1808. Henry Tidey [q. v.] was his younger brother. His first instruction in art was received in the school conducted by his father, who was himself a fairly good artist. In early life he devoted himself to miniature-painting, and while yet very young came to London, where he attracted the notice of Henry Neville, second earl of Abergavenny. He began to exhibit at the Royal Academy in 1831, and in 1836 he sent a miniature of Sir John Conroy, bart., comptroller of the household to the Duchess of Kent. He thus became known to the Duchess's daughter, Queen Victoria, who in 1841 commanded him to paint a miniature of the Hon. Julia Henrietta Anson, one of her maids of honour, afterwards Lady Brooke, which was engraved by James Thomson. He painted also a miniature of the Empress Frederick (of Germany) when a child, and at a later period (1873) watercolour portraits of her and of the Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein. He continued to exhibit miniatures at the Royal Academy regularly until 1857, but seldom after that date. He occasionally exhibited watercolour drawings, ending in 1887 with one entitled ‘As Good as Gold.’ Three of his latest works appeared in 1891 in the exhibition of the Dudley Gallery Art Society, of which he was a member.
Tidey died at Glen Elg, Springfield Park, Acton, Middlesex, on 2 April 1892.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Tidcomb, John

​TIDCOMB or TIDCOMBE, JOHN (1642–1713), lieutenant-general, born in 1642, was a son of Peter Tidcombe of Calne, Wiltshire. He matriculated as a servitor at Oriel College, Oxford, on 22 March 1660–1. On 20 June 1685 he was gazetted captain in the Earl of Huntingdon's regiment of foot (now the Somerset light infantry). In the same year he was present at the coronation of James II in the capacity of a gentleman pensioner. He was appointed colonel of the 14th foot on 14 Nov. 1692. In March 1695 he accompanied King William on his visit to Oxford, and was created D.C.L. He received command of a regiment on the Irish establishment in 1700. In August 1701 a whole company of it deserted from Limerick and fled to the mountains (Luttrell). He afterwards served in Portugal. In March 1705 he and Lieutenant-general Stewart conveyed letters from Ormonde to Marlborough when the latter was in London. In the following month Tidcombe was appointed major-general, and in 1708 was further promoted lieutenant-general. He would appear to have been a protéegé of Ormonde. Swift says that while a subaltern officer he was ‘every day complaining of the pride, oppression, and hard treatment of colonels toward (sic) their officers,’ but that immediately after he had received his regiment he ‘confessed that the spirit of colonelship was coming fast upon him,’ and that it daily increased to the hour of his death.
Tidcombe was a wit as well as a soldier, and was a member of the Kit-Cat Club. When Mrs. Manley was dismissed by the Duchess of Cleveland, he ‘offered her an asylum at his country house,’ but she declined his overtures (Noble, Contin. of Granger, ii. 199). Tidcombe is the Sir Charles Lovemore who in Mrs. Manley's memoirs (‘The History of Rivella’) is supposed to relate her story to his friend the Chevalier d'Aumont in the gardens of Somerset House. In the introduction he is characterised as ‘a person of admirable good sense and knowledge.’
Tidcomb died at Bath in June 1713. His portrait was painted by Kneller and engraved in 1735 by J. Faber.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Tollet, Elizabeth

​TOLLET, ELIZABETH (1694–1754), poetess, born in 1694, was the daughter of George Tollet, commissioner of the navy in the reigns of William III and Anne. Her earlier years were spent in the Tower of London, where her father had a house; the later at Stratford and West Ham. She knew Sir Isaac Newton, who commended some of her first essays. She died at West Ham on 1 Feb. 1754, leaving her estate to her eldest nephew, George Tollet (see below).
She was the author of ‘Poems on several occasions. With Anne Boleyn to King Henry VIII. An Epistle,’ London, 1755, and [1760?], 12mo. This volume contains a musical drama entitled ‘Susanna; or Innocence Preserved,’ and some competent Latin verse. The best of her English poems are reprinted in Nichols's ‘Collection,’ vi. 64; and ‘Winter Song’ and ‘On a Death's Head’ are in Frederic Rowton's ‘Female Poets of Great Britain,’ 1848.
George Tollet (1725–1779), Shakespearean critic, born in 1725, was the son of George Tollet, Elizabeth's brother, by his wife, Elizabeth Oates, of the Isle of Man. He was admitted to Lincoln's Inn 2 July 1745, and was called to the bar. He was wholly devoted to books, and led a secluded bachelor life at Betley, Staffordshire, where he died on 21 Oct. 1779. He contributed some notes to Johnson and Steevens's edition of Shakespeare. Shortly before his death, he complained that many of his valuable suggestions were appropriated by the editors in the second issue of their work without acknowledgment. Johnson and Steevens included in their edition of Shakespeare an engraving of a curious window of painted glass representing the ancient English morris-dance in the old hall at Betley, with a description by Tollet, which is reprinted in Hinchliffe's ‘Barthomley,’ pp. 193–202.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Toller, Samuel

​TOLLER, Sir SAMUEL (d. 1821), advocate-general of Madras, was son of Thomas Toller (1732–1795), who succeeded his father-in-law, Samuel Lawrence, as preacher to the presbyterian congregation in Monkwell Street.
Samuel, who admitted at Lincoln's Inn 27 March 1781, was called to the bar, and in March 1812 was appointed advocate-general at Madras. He was subsequently knighted, and died in India on his way to Bangalore on 19 Nov. 1821. In 1793 he married Miss Cory of Cambridge, by whom he had issue.
Toller was the author of two legal works of considerable value: 1. ‘The Law of Executors and Administrators,’ London, 1800, 8vo; 7th ed. by Whitmarsh, 1838; 2nd American edit. by Gordon, Philadelphia, 1824, 8vo, 3rd American edit. by Ingraham, 1834. 2. ‘Treatise of the Law of Tithes: compiled in Part from some Notes of Richard Wooddeson’ [q. v.], London, 1808, 8vo; 3rd ed. 1822.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Tolfrey, William

​TOLFREY, WILLIAM (1778?–1817), orientalist, born in or about 1778, was educated in England. Proceeding in 1794 to Calcutta, where his father then lived, he obtained at first some subordinate post in a public office, but soon afterwards relinquished this for an ensigncy in the 76th (foot) regiment. His military career was creditable. Promoted to the 74th regiment, he served in the Mysore war under General George Harris (afterwards first Lord Harris) [q. v.], and in the Mahratta campaigns of 1803–4. He was distinguished also in the battle of Assaye. In 1805 he sold his commission, and, visiting an uncle, Samuel Tolfrey, in Ceylon, obtained a post in the public service of the island in 1806. In 1813 he was assistant commissioner of revenue and commerce, and shortly afterwards his proficiency in Sinhalese obtained him the post of chief translator to the resident at Kandy. On the arrival of Sir Robert Brownrigg as governor in 1812, a bible society was started, and Tolfrey undertook the revision of the old Sinhalese translation of the Bible made by the Dutch. Struck by the unduly colloquial character of this version, he adopted the strange course of previously translating each verse into the classical Pali. It was probably this that led him to attempt the translation of the whole New Testament into Pali, a work which he had nearly completed at the time of his death. It was subsequently printed, but as a literary production it was of no great value. Tolfrey was, however, probably the first Englishman to study Pali, the most important of the languages of Buddhism, and he merits recognition as a pioneer. Benjamin Clough used his materials for the compilation of his Pali grammar, produced in 1824, which was the only work of the kind for some thirty years. Tolfrey died in Ceylon on 4 Jan. 1817.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Sea-sludge

Edition of 1802.
​SEA-SLUDGE, or Salt-clod, is the surface, or that part of a saline marsh, which is deposited by the high tides. It is much richer, and less intermixed with sand, than the land which is more regularly overflowed.
Sea-sludge is an excellent manure; and though it be attainable only in a few situations, yet it deserves to be more generally employed. The best sludge is completely covered with grass: it is cut out of the marshes, to the depth of a spade, and, during the summer, is carted upon the land; on the surface of which it is spread, and suffered to remain in small clods, till it has become thoroughly mellowed by the winter frosts. It is then pulverized, by passing a harrow over the soil, after which it is ploughed-in with a thin furrow, for spring corn.
The proportion of this manure necessary for an acre, varies in different places, according to the nature of the ground; but, in general, it will be advisable to spread as much as will form a coat, or stratum, about an inch and a half or two inches in thickness. In some parts of Lancashire and Cheshire, sea-sludge is occasionally employed as a substitute for marle, to which it is greatly superior, both on account of its ameliorating properties, and the longer duration of its effects; instances having occurred, in which land, manured with such mire to the depth of two inches, has retained its fertility thirty years.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Sea-wolf

Edition of 1802.
​SEA-WOLF, or Anarrhicas Lupus, L. a voracious fish that creeps in the manner of eels, and in the spring frequents the shores of Greenland, Iceland, and Norway, as likewise the coasts of Yorkshire and Scotland, where it is caught; measuring from four to seven feet in length.
The Sea-wolf is one of the most ferocious inhabitants of the ocean; its head is somewhat flat on the top, and is furnished with numerous teeth, which are so strong as to make impressions even on stones and anchors. Its food consists of prawns, crabs, lobsters, and other testaceous fish, which it devours, together with their shells.
These fish, when taken, bite with uncommon severity: the fishermen, therefore, knock out their fore-teeth, and kill them by blows on the head. Their flesh being very rank, is relished only by their captors, who eat it both in a fresh, and in a dry or salted, state.—The reputed toad-stones (bufonites) are supposed to originate from the petrified teeth of the sea-wolf.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Shale

Edition of 1802.
​SHALE is a black, slaty substance, or a species of clay concreted into a stony consistence, and impregnated with a considerable quantity of bituminous matter. It is of various degrees of hardness, but does not emit sparks when stricken against steel; and, on being heated, it exhales a strong smell.
Large strata of this mineral are dug out in Derbyshire, as well as in those counties which contain fossil coal. On calcination, an acid is evolved, that combines with the argillaceous particles, and forms Alum. The shale is next immersed in water, in consequence of which, the alum thus obtained is dissolved; and, after undergoing various processes, is formed into the masses usually met with in the shops.—It is computed by Doctor Watson (Chemical Essays, vol. ii.) that 120 tons of the calcined shale will produce one ton of alum.

Copyright, 1903, by George Henry Dole
PREFACE
IN ATTEMPTING to search out first causes, science, fearing the introduction of the uncertain, has rejected all contributions from religion. Indeed, this feeling has been carried so far, that God is not mentioned in science, except as unknowable or unnecessary. Religion, fearing the destruction of so-called "faith," and the overthrow of favored doctrine, has rejected science, and slowly and stubbornly granted concessions to its conclusions. This separation and antagonism reduce science to gross materialism, and religion on one hand to irrational dogmatism, and on the other to scientific skepticism or even agnosticism.
MORE RECENTLY, under the influence of the new renaissance and the feeling that all truth is a unit of harmonious parts, there has been a growing tendency to recognize that true science and genuine religion are in perfect agreement and mutually helpful.
​IT is not the intention to elaborate here a system with its details, but merely to state some fundamental principles, and to add a few thoughts in the line of the general position to which advancing times are progressing, and where may be realized a greater and even satisfying light.

# Eight Harvard Poets/Saturnalia

SATURNALIA
IN earth's womb the old gods stir, Fierce chthonian dieties of old time. With cymbals and rattle of castanets, And shriek of slug-horns, the North Wind Bows the oak and the moaning fir,
In nature, dead, the life gods stir, From Rhadamanthus and the Isles, Where Saturn rules the Age of Gold, Come old, old ghosts of bygone gods; While dim mists earth's outlines blur.
In men's hearts the mad gods rise And fill the streets with revelling, With torchlight that glances on frozen pools. With tapers starring the thick-fogged night, A-dance, like strayed fireflies,
In driven clouds the old gods come, When fogs the face of Apollo have veiled; A fear of things, unhallowed, strange,
And a fierce free joy flares in the land. Men mutter runes in language dead, By night, with rumbling drum,
To earth's brood of souls of old, With covered heads and aspen wands, Mist-shrouded priests do ancient rites; The black ram's fleece is stained with blood. That steams, dull red on the frozen ground; And pale votaries shiver with the cold,

I was whirled and tossed into delicious dancing

# Eight Harvard Poets/The New Platonist

THE NEW PLATONIST
Circa 1640
OUR loves as flowers fall to dust;
The noblest singing hath an end;
No man to his own soul may trust,
Nor to the kind arms of his friend;
Yet have I glimpsed by lonely tree,
Bright baths of immortality.
My faultless teachers bid me fare
The cypress path of blood and tears,
Treading the thorny wold to where
The painful Cross of Christ appears;
'Twas on another, sunnier hill
I met you first, my miracle.
The painted windows burn and flame
Up through the music-haunted air;
These were my gods — and then you came
With flowers crowned and sun-kissed hair,
Making this northern river seem
Some laughter-girdled Grecian stream.
When the fierce foreman of our race Marshals his lords of lust and pride, You spring within a moment's space, Full-armed and smiling to my side; O golden heart! The love you gave me Alone has saved and yet will save me.
Perchance we have no perfect city Beyond the wrack of these our wars, Till Death alone in sacred pity Wash with long sleep our wounds and scars; So much the more I praise in measure The generous gods for you, my treasure.
# Eight Harvard Poets/Song

SONG
O CRIMSON rose, O crimson rose, Crushed lightly in two little hands; A child's soft kiss was in your heart, A child's warm breath was in your soul.
The child is gone, O crimson rose, And stained and hardened are the hands, And who shall find your golden heart And who shall kiss your withered soul?
Happy are you, O crimson rose, But I have stains upon my hands; You died with kisses in your heart, I live with sorrow in my soul.
