# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Sloe-tree

Edition of 1802.
​SLOE-TREE, Black-thorn, or Scroggs, Prunus spinosa, L. an indigenous shrub, growing wild in hedges, and woods; flowering in the months of March and April. It generally attains the height of from 10 to 12 feet, and spreads its branches from the root; producing small, round, black berries in autumn, which possess a very austere taste, till mellowed by frost.
Being of very quick and bushy growth, the sloe-tree is well adapted for hedges and other fences; though it is not calculated for situations where its spreading roots might obstruct the growth of vegetables planted in its vicinity.—The wood is hard and tough; on which account it is usefully converted into walking-sticks, teeth for rakes, and turnery-ware.—Dr. Withering observes that, from the effects which follow the punctures made by the thorns of this tree, he has reason to believe, they contain some poisonous matter; especially if such wounds be inflicted in autumn.—The young and tender leaves, when dried, afford, in his opinion, the best substitute for the foreign teas.—If bruised, and infused in currant or raisin-wine, sloes impart a beautiful red colour, and a pleasant rough, sub-acid taste, resembling that of Port-wine; a fact too well known to the dealers in that favourite and expensive liquor.—Characters impressed on linen, or woollen cloth, with the juice of the fruit, are said to be permanent. On adding green vitriol to this liquid, the shade is not changed; but, if it be employed for writing on paper, or dyeing linen, and afterwards exposed to the air, an indelible black colour will be the result, and which is superior to that obtained from the best galls.—The dried berries of the black-thorn dye-linen of a red hue, which, on repeated washing, changes to a durable light-blue.—The bark boiled in ley, also yields a red tinge; and, in order to facilitate the decortication of this shrub, it ought to be effected in the spring:—a decoction of the root, on adding a solution of bismuth, communicates a cinnamon shade to wool.—The blackish bark is farther, useful for preserving cheese from corruption; a fact attested by Bechstein: the same rind, together with the unripe berries, may be advantageously used in tanning.
In a medicinal respect, a ​handful of the flowers of the sloe-tree, either infused in water, or boiled in milk, and strained, affords a draught which operates as a safe and gentle purgative.—According to Dr. Withering, the bark, when reduced to powder, and administered in doses of two drams each, has cured some species of the ague.—An inspissated extract of the same substance forms an excellent astringent, which is frequently employed on the Continent, as a substitute for the more expensive, but less efficacious Indian drugs of this description: and it is highly probable, that such preparation might, in many cases, be employed with safety, instead of the Peruvian bark, which is seldom obtained in a genuine state from the shops.—The leaves of the sloe-tree are eaten by horses, sheep, and goats: the bark is relished by hares, deer, and other wild quadrupeds.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Snipe

Edition of 1802.
​SNIPE, the Common, or Scolopax gallinago, L. a bird of passage, of which there are more than forty varieties, mostly breeding in Europe, and subsisting on insects. Some of these wild-fowl frequent moors, others delight in swampy bushes, and still others in the open fields. The two first classes are common in Britain, especially during the summer, and sometimes throughout the year. They seldom exceed four ounces in weight, and are, together with their long bill, from 10 to 12 inches in length: the breast and belly are white; the back is covered with long feathers, beautifully variegated with black and reddish-brown spots.
Snipes are most frequent on lofty mountains, and in moors, bogs, or marshy situations; where they construct their nests of dried grass, and lay four dusky olive-coloured eggs. They may be easily taken, by placing in their haunts, twigs of birch covered with bird-lime, in various directions: when one of the birds is caught, the sportsman should not be too hasty in removing it; because the creature will feed with the twig beneath its wing, and thus decoy numerous other snipes.
But the most usual methods of obtaining these birds, are by means of nets, and by the gun, in the months of November or December, being then very fat: and, as they always move against the wind, the fowler ought to place himself in the same direction; because they will then fly towards him, and consequently present a fair mark, at which he may aim with some prospect of success.
Snipes possess a most delicate flavour; on account of which they are highly esteemed at the tables of the opulent; who prefer them to partridges: but, as the former bird is eaten together with its intestines, which contain many stimulant insects, &c. it has been justly supposed, that the frequent indulgence in such food, is apt to induce the gout, or at least to accelerate its paroxysms.
# Drug Fact Sheet: Benzodiazepines

Benzodiazepines
WHAT ARE BENZODIAZEPINES?
Benzodiazepines are depressants that produce sedation and hypnosis, relieve anxiety and muscle spasms, and reduce seizures.
WHAT IS THEIR ORIGIN?
Benzodiazepines are only legally available through prescription. Many users maintain their drug supply by getting prescriptions from several doctors, forging prescriptions, or buying them illicitly. Alprazolam and clonazepam are the two most frequently encountered benzodiazepines on the illicit market.
What are common street names?
Common street names include Benzos and Downers.
What do they look like?
The most common benzodiazepines are the prescription drugs Valium®, Xanax®, Halcion®, Ativan®, and Klonopin®. Tolerance can develop, although at variable rates and to different degrees.
Shorter-acting benzodiazepines used to manage insomnia include estazolam (ProSom®), flurazepam (Dalmane®), temazepam (Restoril®), and triazolam (Halcion®). Midazolam (Versed®), a short-acting benzodiazepine, is utilized for sedation, anxiety, and amnesia in critical care settings and prior to anesthesia. It is available in the United States as an injectable preparation and as a syrup (primarily for pediatric patients).
Benzodiazepines with a longer duration of action are utilized to treat insomnia in patients with daytime anxiety. These benzodiazepines include alprazolam (Xanax®), chlordiazepoxide (Librium®), clorazepate (Tranxene®), diazepam (Valium®), halazepam (Paxipam®), lorzepam (Ativan®), oxazepam (Serax®), prazepam (Centrax®), and quazepam (Doral®). Clonazepam (Klonopin®), diazepam, and clorazepate are also used as anticonvulsants.
How are they abused?
Abuse is frequently associated with adolescents and young adults who take the drug orally or crush it up and snort it to get high.
Abuse is particularly high among heroin and cocaine users. Additionally, opioid users often co-abuse benzodiazepines to enhance euphoria.
What is their effect on the mind?
Benzodiazepines are associated with amnesia, hostility, irritability, and vivid or disturbing dreams.
What is their effect on the body?
Benzodiazepines slow down the central nervous system and may cause sleepiness and relaxed mood.
What are their overdose effects?
Effects of overdose include:
Which drugs cause similar effects?
Drugs that cause similar effects include:
What is their legal status in the United States?
Benzodiazepines are controlled in Schedule IV of the Controlled Substances Act.

# Drowning is not so pitiful

Drowning is not so pitiful As the attempt to rise Three times, 'tis said, a sinking man Comes up to face the skies, And then declines forever To that abhorred abode, Where hope and he part company — For he is grasped of God. The Maker's cordial visage, However good to see, Is shunned, we must admit it, Like an adversity.

The works which Buxtorf published during his life are too numerous to be all enumerated in this brief notice, and for a complete list of them the reader is referred to the authorities cited at the close of the article. The following, however, may be mentioned. In 1602 appeared his Manuale Hebraicum et Chaldaicum, which reached a seventh edition in the year 1658. In the following year was published his Synagoga, Judaica, which appeared first in German and was afterwards translated into Latin in an enlarged form, and which constitutes a valuable repertory of information regarding the opinions and ceremonies of the Jews. In 1607 he published his Lexicon Hebraicum ct Chaldaicum cum brcvi Lcxico Rabbinico PMIosopliico, which was reprinted at Glasgow so recently as 1824. In 1618 there appeared in two folio volumes his great Rabbinical Bible, containing, in addition to the Hebrew text, the Chaldee Paraphrases or Targums, which he punctuated after the analogy of the Chaldee passages in Ezra and Daniel (a proceeding which has been condemned by Richard Simon and others), and the Commentaries of the more celebrated Rabbins, with various other treatises. Of this work it may be said that Rosenmuller's judgment will approve itself to most Hebrew scholars, that "this edition is indispensable to every one who desires thoroughly to study the criticism and exposition of the Old Testament." (Rosenmuller, Handbuch fur die Literatur dcr Biblisclien Kritik und Exegese, vol. i. p. 259). The Bible was followed by his Tiberias, sive Commcntarius Masorcticus, so named from the great school of Jewish criticism which had its seat in the town of Tiberias. It was in this work that Buxtorf controverted the views of Elias Levita regarding the late origin of the Hebrew vowel points, a subject which gave rise to the. famous controversy between Cappellus and his son John Buxtorf, which will be referred to in the following article. Buxtorf did not live to complete the two works on which his reputation chiefly rests, viz., his great Lexicon Ohaldaicum, Talmudicum, et Rabbinicum, and the Concordanticc Bibliorum Hebraicorum, both of which were edited by his son. They are monuments of untiring, labour and industry, and possess an enduring value. The former work has been recently (1869) republished at Leipsic with some additions by Bernard Fischer, Ph.D., and the latter was assumed by Fürst as the basis of his great Hebrew concordance, which appeared in 1840. For additional information regarding his writings the reader is referred to Athcncc Rauricce, pp. 444-448; to the article "Buxtorf" in Ersch and Gruber's Encyclopaedia; to the Theological Cyclopaedias of Herzog, and of Wetzer and De "Welte, sub voce "Buxtorf"; to Niceron's Memoircs, vol. xxxi. pp. 206-215; to Sclu-okh sKirchengcschichte, vol. v.

# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/John Day

See also John Day (dramatist) on Wikipedia; John Day at Wikipedia; John Day in the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
DAY, John, a lyrical dramatist of the age of Elizabeth, of whose life no particulars have been transmitted to us, except that he was a student of Caius College, Cambridge. The first work which he is known to have produced is The Isle of Gulls, printed in 1606, a comedy founded upon Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia. In 1607 he published a curious drama, written by him in conjunction with William Rowley and George Wilkins, The Travels of Three English Brothers, which detailed the adventures of Sir Thomas, Sir Anthony, and Robert Shirley. In the same year appeared The Parliament of Bees, the work on which Day's reputation mainly rests. This exquisite and unique drama, or rather masque, is entirely occupied with "the doings, the births, the wars, the wooings" of bees, expressed in a style at once most singular and most charming. In 1608 Day published two comedies, Law Tricks and Humour out of Breath. In 1610 there was licensed by him a comedy of The Mad Pranks of Merry Moll, which has not survived. It is not known when he died, but his works were frequently reprinted before the civil wars, and as late as 1659 one of them, The Blind Beggar of Bethnal Green, first saw the light. The six dramas by John Day which we possess testify to a talent somewhat out of sympathy with the main poetic current of his day. Except The Parliament of Bees, which is all in rhyme, his plays are in prose, with occasional rhymed passages of great lyrical sweetness. He preserved, in a great measure, the dramatic tradition of John Lyly, and affected a kind of subdued euphuism. It is, indeed, not impossible that the Maid's Metamorphosis, 1600, wrongly supposed to be a posthumous work of Lyly's, may be attributable to the youth of Day. It possesses, at all events, many of his marked characteristics. The beauty and ingenuity of The Parliament of Bees were noted and warmly extolled by Charles Lamb; but no effort has been made in our generation to revive his fame, and the works of this writer of very distinct and peculiar genius remain still unedited.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/John Christian William Augusti

See also John Christian William Augusti on Wikipedia; Johann Christian Wilhelm Augusti, on Wikipedia, Augusti in the 11th edition; and the disclaimer.
AUGUSTI, John Christian William, a distinguished German theologian, was born at Eschenberga, near Gotha, in 1772. He was of Jewish descent, his grandfather having been a rabbi who had been converted to the Christian faith. His early education he received partly from Moller, pastor of Gierstadt, who introduced him to the study of Hebrew, and partly at the gymnasium at Gotha. He then proceeded to the university of Jena, and completed his studies there in 1793. In 1798 he obtained a post as privat-docent, or university lecturer on philosophy, and began to turn his attention chiefly to Oriental subjects. In 1800 he was made professor extraordinary of philo sophy, and three years after was appointed to the chair of Oriental languages. In 1808 he received the degree of doctor of theology, and in 1812 accepted a call to the chair of theology at the recently renovated university of Breslau. During the troubled years 1813 and 1814 he acted as lector, and received great praise for his firm and judicious conduct. In 1819 he was transferred to the university of Bonn, and in 1828 ho united with his professorship the office of director of the consistory. He died at Coblentz in 1841. Augusti had little sympathy with the modern philosophical interpretations of dogma, and although he took up a position of free criticism with regard to the Biblical narratives, he yet held fast to the traditional faith. His works on theology (History of Dogma, 1805, and System of Dogmatics, 1809) are simple statements of fact, and do not attempt a speculative treatment of their subjects. In addition to several exegetical works, his most impor tant writings are the DenkwiirdigJceiten aus der Christlichen Archaologie, 12 vols., 1817-31, a partially digested mass of materials, and the Handhuch der Christ. Archaologie, 3 vols., 1836-7, which gives the substance of the larger work in a more compact and systematic form.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/John Aylmer

See also John Aylmer (bishop) on Wikipedia; John Aylmer on Wikipedia, Aylmer in the 11th edition; and the disclaimer.
​AYLMER, JOHN, Bishop of London in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, was born in the year 1521 at Ayltner- hall, in the parish of Tilney, in the county of Norfolk. Whilst a boy, he was noticed for his precocity by the marquis of Dorset, afterwards duke of Suffolk, who sent him to the university of Cambridge. He afterwards proceeded to Oxford, where he completed his studies and took his degree in divinity. He was then made chaplain to the duke and tutor to his daughter, the accomplished and unfortunate Lady Jane Grey, whose extraordinary proficiency in the Greek and Latin languages reflects no small honour on her preceptor. His first preferment was to the archdeaconry of Stow, in the diocese of Lincoln, which gave him a seat in the Convocation held in the first year of Queen Mary, where he resolutely opposed the return to Popery, to which the generality of the clergy were incb ned. He was soon after obliged to fly his country, and take shelter among the Protestants in Switzerland. While there he wrote a reply to Knox s famous Blast against the Monstrous liegiment of Women, under the title of An Harborowe for Faithfull and Treue Subjects, &c. On the accession of Queen Elizabeth he returned to England. In 1562 he obtained the arch deaconry of Lincoln, and was a member of the famous synod of that year, which reformed and settled the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England. In 1576 he was consecrated bishop of London, and while in that position made himself notorious by the harsh manner in which he insisted on the Act of Uniformity. His persecution of the Puritans, and of any clergymen suspected of Puritanical leanings, with the extreme measures he used, made him unpopular even with his own party. He is frequently assailed in the famous Marprelate Tracts, and is char acterised as Morrell, the bad shepherd, in Spenser s Shephearde s Calendar. He seems to have been a man of harsh and violent temper, coarse, and avaricious, and with few redeeming qualities. He is said to have been an able scholar, but he has left nothing which could prove this. He died in 1594. (Strype, Life and Actions of John Aylmer, Bishop of London.}

United States Supreme Court
338 U.S. 189
Eisler v. United States
Argued: March 28, 1949. --- Decided: June 27, 1949
Petitioner's flight from the country after the grant of his petition for writ of certiorari, 335 U.S. 857, 69 S.Ct. 130, and after the submission of his cause on the merits necessitates a decision as to the disposition now to be made of this case. Since the petitioner by his own volition may have rendered moot any judgment on the merits, we must, as a matter of our own practice, decide whether the submission should be set aside the the writ of certiorari dismissed or whether we should postpone review indefinitely by ordering the case removed from the docket, pending the return of the fugitive.
Our practice, however, has been to order such cases to be removed from the docket. Smith v. United States, 94 U.S. 97, 24 L.Ed. 32; Bonahan v. State of Nebraska, 125 U.S. 692, 8 S.Ct. 1390, 31 L.Ed. 854. We adhere to those precedents. Accordingly after this term the cause will be left off the docket until a direction to the contrary shall issue.
While Mr. Justice BURTON has not participated in the consideration of the merits of this case, he has participated in this procedural action based upon the memorandum filed by the United States of America calling the attention of the Court to the petitioner's flight from justice.
Mr. Justice FRANKFURTER, with whom THE CHIEF JUSTICE joins, dissenting.
