# The Lives and Characters of the English Dramatick Poets/Mrs. Delarivier Manley

Mrs. Delarivier Manley.
THis Lady has very happily distinguish'd her self from the rest of her Sex, and gives us a living Proof of what we might reasonably expect from Womankind, if they had the Benefit of those artificial Improvements of Learning the Men have, when by the meer Force of Nature they so much excel. Rules indeed are but the Leading-strings to support and carry the Weaker, and more unobserving Heads, and which those of a strong Genius and Penetration will have no need of, since a just Consideration of Nature will conduct them with more Ease and Success. Of this our present Authress is an evident Proof, for in the Two Plays she has already published, we find no part of Art wanting, but what is the Mechanick Part, and by much the least valuable. There is a Force and a Fire in her Tragedy, that is the Soul that gives it Life, and for want of which, most of our Modern Tragedies are heavy, languid, unmoving, and dull. In her Comedy there is an easy Freedom of adding, which confesses a Conversation in the Authress no less genteel and entertaining. This Lady was born in the Isle of Jersey, her Father, Sir Roger Manley, being then Governor of it; a Gentleman of a double Merit, both the Gown, and the Sword claiming no small share in his Glory, and the Republick of ​Learning ow'd as much to his Wit and Judgment, in those Books which he was pleased to publish, as his King and Country to his Loyalty, Valour, and Conduct. And well might our Delarivier prove a Muse, being begot by such a Father. She has as yet given us but two Plays, of which in their Order:
The Royal Mischief, a Tragedy, 4to. Acted by his Majesty's Servants, at the Theatre in Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, 1696. and dedicated to his Grace, William, Duke of Devonshire, &c. The Story, as she owns, is originally taken from Sir John Chardin's Travels, but has receiv'd this Advantage, that the Criminals are here punish'd for their Guilt, who in the Story escape; a Poetick Justice, which ought ever to be observed in all Plays; for a Just Audience could never have been pleas'd with the Prosperity of Homais, and Leavan, after so very criminal an Amour. I cou'd here give the Reader a Proof how well the Rules of Aristotle are observ'd in this Tragedy, by a Lady who never read him; and how just all her Metaphors and Allegories are: but that wou'd exceed the Bounds I am prescribed by the Model I'm oblig'd to build on. I shall therefore proceed to
The Lost Lover; or, The Jealous Husband, a Comedy, 4to. acted at the Theatre Royal by his Majesty's Servants, 1696. To this Play is no Epistle Dedicatory, and the Preface informs us of its ill Success, which we cou'd never gather from the reading of it; and if we wou'd, as we ought, give any Allowance for the Sex that wrote it, the Time it was wrote in, and its being the first Essay of that Nature, we shou'd agree with her, that it met with a much severer Fate than it deserved.
This Lady has Publish'd several other Books, which have not her Name to 'em, and which, for that Reason, I shall forbear to mention their Titles.

Why does he always curse a labor delegate?
Why? Because the labor delegate faces him and says: "The men demand their rights."

# The Masses (periodical)/Volume 1/Number 1/Our Benevolent Express Companies

Our Benevolent Express Companies
Within the short space of three years two of the big express companies have presented their grateful stockholders with "melons" worth forty-eight million dollars. This pleasant return was upon an original investment of practically nothing. Whatever assets the companies now possess were accumulated out of surplus profits. The goose that lays their golden eggs consists simply of exclusive contracts with the railroads, by which they are licensed to overcharge the long-suffering public for carrying its parcels.
These private gold mines, called express companies, employ considerable labor. Some five thousand of their drivers, transfer men, schedule men and helpers in New York and Jersey City went on strike this fall. Those holding the most responsible positions, the route drivers and transfer men, received, it appears, sixty-five to seventy-five dollars a month for a day's work that began at seven A. M. and ended as soon after six P. M. as the last load on the platforms was hauled to its destination.
This arrangement of a workday with a "regular hour for starting, but none for stopping" often means, in practice, fifteen hours' labor out of the twenty-four, with Sunday and holiday work, for which no extra pay is given. For helpers, it seems, the companies thriftily prefer boys, whom they can hire at eighteen to twenty dollars a month.
The men demanded an advance of five dollars a month in wages, with fifty dollars a month minimum for helpers and a workday of eleven hours. As the three-hundred-per-cent. express companies felt unable to grant the men's demands, express business in New York and Jersey City was thrown into utter confusion. For years the public had paid the companies three-hundred-per-cent. rates for carrying its parcels; but, rather than deal liberally with its employees in a pinch, the companies calmly permitted the public's parcels to lie undelivered. At one time, it is said, three hundred and fifty thousand packages, generally requiring haste and care, were piled up in the various offices waiting for the strike to end.
The grand bulwark of this precious business consists in the failure of Congress to pass a parcels-post act.—Saturday Evening Post.
The prospect that the consumer will shortly be able to consume something is about the rosiest outlook upon the national horizon.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

# The Masses (periodical)/Volume 1/Number 1/Let the Truth Be Known

LET THE TRUTH BE KNOWN
By Charles Edward Russell
No man that believes in the essentials of freedom and justice, no man that believes the courts should be kept immaculate from petty spite and malice, no man of any faith in free speech and a free press can think he has done his duty until he has made by all means in his power his utmost protest against the conviction of Fred Warren.
If the sentence in this case can be carried out it is not too much to say that at any time hereafter any man that becomes obnoxious to the power of wealth or that criticises an administration can be railroaded to jail on any trumped-up charge.
It is evident then that here is a fundamental issue. We are back again facing the old question of basic human rights. If the precedent of the Warren case be established no ruler of mediæval times ever had a more efficient gag upon the utterances of his subjects than a national administration at Washington can use upon its critics.
The country at large is not informed about the successive steps of the case and the fate that now overhangs Warren, because the press will not publish the facts about the matter. Therefore the duty of every believer in justice is to see that the facts are widely spread. In every town of the country public meetings should be called to protest against this intolerable wrong. See that your neighbors learn all about it. Give them the history of the case. Let them understand the principle involved. Show them that whereas the Supreme Court of the United States held the kidnapping of Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone to be right and proper, Warren is now to be imprisoned for suggesting that the process thus upheld by the Supreme Court be used in another case. The man that will not mentally revolt against an injustice so rank as this is no American and no good citizen.
See that these facts become universally known. If you are a member of a union make it your business to call the attention of all your union brothers to what is purposed in this case. Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone were the victims of an organized warfare upon unions. Warren is suffering in the union cause. Do not let the union haters have their way with him.
Enter your protest. Keep your own conscience clear. If you let Warren go to prison without objecting you are helping the interests that are trying to pull him down.—Charles Edward Russell, in The Coming Nation.

# The Lucknow Album/Sekunder Bagh

SEKUNDER BAGH.
View No. 13.
This garden may be very well described as the "Shalimar" of Lucknow. It was built by Wajid Ali Shah, especially in honor of one of his favourite mehals, Sekunder Begum; hence its name. It is encircled by a high wall, and has earned an imperishable page in history as the death-place of more than two thousand mutineers who were bayonetted without mercy, by the exasperated British troops under command of Sir Colin Campbell, on the 16th of November, 1857. The rebels, within the high loop-holed wall, had every advantage in repulsing our troops; the assault of the British was gallant in the extreme, and many a brave British soldier fell, before the stronghold was captured.
Wheeling to the left along the road, the Company Bagh is seen on the right; this is a nursery for a great variety of fruit trees and vegetables.

A short time after the recapture of Lucknow, a detachment of Royal Horse Artillery, located in this building, discovered treasure, to the amount of some three or four lacs of rupees, while driving pegs in the ground to picket their horses but what became of the treasure, is still a mystery. The agent of the Railway Company now holds office here.

The summer house In this garden was erected by King Naseer-ood-deen Hyder, and the grounds were laid out by him and planted with European plants, principally; hence its designation. It lies on the banks of the river Goomtee and was, in the King's time, a very handsome pleasure-garden. It was a favourite resort of the King, who used to proceed there by water, accompanied by the members of his Court, in pleasure-boats, by night. The garden is not remarkable on account of any historical associations; it is the station regatta winning-post; it has fallen into neglect, but still retains some remnants of its original beauty.
# The Lucknow Album/Wingfield Park

WINGFIELD PARK.
View No. 12.
This Park, originally called Banarsee Bagh, was in a very dilapidated state, when it came into possession of the British. It is now named after the late popular Chief Commissioner of Oudh, who took advantage of the natural picturesqueness of the spot, to have it carefully beautified with beds of flowers, umbrageous trees, parterres, gravelled walks and drives, &c, &c. This park, though not very extensive, is equal in beauty to any in this part of India. It affords shade and accommodation for fancy fairs, flower and vegetable shows, and archery meetings.
The marble baradurree was once the pride of Huzrut Bagh. It was removed and rebuilt where it now stands, a graceful and elegant work of art, in the centre of the flower garden. This magnificent building is said, like the Taj at Agra, to have been inlaid with precious stones; it appears they have all been removed, for nothing but counterfeit imitations now supply their place.
Returning through Huzrutgunge and turning to the right, the building vulgarly known as the "Chowper Stables," is seen at a short distance. In this building, the choicest of the King's horses and equipages used to be kept; it was considered decidedly stylish for such a purpose. After the annexation it became the barracks of H. M.'s 32nd Light Infantry. During the mutiny, the rebels converted the range into an arsenal, where they attempted to make percussion caps and other kind of ammunition; it is believed they were not very successful. ​It was a work of great difficulty to capture these buildings after the reoccupation; the enemy fought desperately, and Sir Colin Campbell's force suffered severely in the engagement.
After the mutiny, the buildings were partitioned off into quarters for uncovenanted clerks and others; the grounds have been turned into gardens, and the building is now ostentatiously termed "Lawrence Terrace;" a more appropriate name would be the "Writers' Buildings" of Lucknow.

# The Lucknow Album/Tara Kothe or Star House

TARA KOTHE OR STAR HOUSE.
View No. 18.
The reason why this was called the Star House is, that it was intended for an observatory. It forms a kind of setoff to the general extravagance for which the Kings of Oudh were notorious. Nusseer-ood-deen Hyder had this house ​constructed under European superintendence, and provided with astronomical instruments of value, but, from the observations taken, nothing in the service of science seems to have resulted : the instruments were all demolished by the mutineers, and the King always thought more of astrology than of astronomy. So much for the enlightenment of the Monarchs of Ouclh.
There was a native of Fyzabad known as Moulvie Ahmed-ollah Shah, who always had a drum beaten before him whereever he went, and was consequently called " Dunka Shah ;" he made the Khoorshaid Munzil his Head Quarters, and the Moulvie being of high reputation amongst the Mahomedans, the house soon became a sort of Baradurree for parliamentary meetings : however, after the mutiny, finding the country too hot to hold him, he disappeared, and the house became a rebel stronghold ; this was stormed and captured by Sir Colin Campbell's force in 1857, the high wall that surrounded it, was demolished, and there now appears, on its mound, the handsome building known as the Bank of Bengal.
On the southern side is an extensive space called the " Place Road," and close by, on the right, stands a very modest unpretending looking obelisk. This is the—

Or the mausoleum of King Ghazee-ood-deen Hyder, built by himself, for the interment. of his own remains. It is surrounded by a high wall, and, like the Kuddum Rasool, afforded the mutineers an excellent position for defence. It was here that poor Sir William Peel, Commander of the Naval Brigade, earned an imperishable renown. This brave sailor, covered by the fire of two heavy guns, and supported by a small body of Infantry, literally scaled the high wall and jumped down into the midst of the enemy in the enclosure ; his men followed his example, and in spite of the immense superiority of the force they fell amongst, succeeded in dealing terrific slaughter, the ship's cutlass being the only weapon used. The place was soon after occupied by the British troops under command of Brigadier General Sir Adrian Hope.
​The place derives the name " Najuf," from the hill on which the tomb of AH, the son-in-law of Mahomed, is built, of which tomb this is said to be an exact copy.
A fund was left by King Ghazee-ood deen Hyder, to keep the place in repair, to illuminate it yearly on the anniversary of his death, and to maintain an establishment. It is a place of great sanctity with the Mahomedans, but is not so grand as the great Imambara of Hosainabad which will be noticed in due course.
At a short distance, on the same road, is the—

THE
LUCKNOW ALBUM.
THE CITY.
The city of Lucknow was, for a long time, renowned for its riches and flourishing trade. The city proper is said to occupy the site of the debris of some threescore villages, the names of many of which are perpetuated in the several Mohullas which are called after them, but of themselves not the slightest trace remains. It is built on irregular, undulating ground, intersected by watercourses, nullahs and ravines. Its antiquity is questionable, but only about ninety years have elapsed since, from its ancient rival, Fyzabad, it usurped the title and dignity of " Capital of Oudh," and it is not a little remarkable that, in so comparatively short a period, it should have assumed such proportions as to extend, with its suburbs, over an area of twenty square miles.
There is a tradition that Fyzabad or Ajoodia, and Lucknow, the distance between the two being some seventy odd miles, were once united by a series of small towns, formming one continuous and gigantic city ; another tradition asserts that the two cities were formerly connected by a secret subterranean passage, known only to the Kings of Oudh. These traditions are only worth mentioning, as showing the singular credulity for which the natives of Oudh are remarkable. The stories are of course thoroughly fabulous.
​Prior to the annexation of the kingdom of Oudh, Lucknow consisted mostly of strong masonry built houses in the usual fantastic mixture of Italian and Mahomedan architecture, two or three stories high, forming narrow, but picturesque, streets: the bazars were abundantly stocked, the population was literally "teeming," so that it was impossible to ride, or drive, in the streets, save at a walk; the people generally were cleanly dressed, betokening that they were living under a regime, which placed the common necessaries of life reasonably within the reach of all classes; but the melancholy and memorable events of 1857-58 have reduced the number of handsome houses by one half, whilst the trade and manufactures, for which, in all their riches and variety, Lucknow was once so famous, have all but disappeared. Nevertheless, to compensate for this apparent deterioration, there are now many fine broad streets, many excellent market-places, improved ventilation, good drainage; and seemingly a more equable and healthy air of prosperity may well be hoped for, especially when the traffic becomes developed by the completion of the Oudh and Rohilkund network of railways, The traveller may then bid farewell to the crumbling mosque, the deserted garden, the ruined fountain, the remains of palaces, seraglios and all the marks of the reigns of the kings of Oudh. Lucknow will gradually assume its former prosperity as the veritable capital.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Ammonia

See also Ammonia on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Ammo'nia, a gas (NH$_3$), which is dissolved by water with great avidity, making an alkaline liquid called ammonia-water or, by chemists, ammonium hydroxide, which is the common form in which it is used. The name is probably derived from the temple of Ammon in the Libyan desert, where ammonia was produced. The name hartshorn is also used, because the shavings of horns have been used to prepare it. It is composed of nitrogen and hydrogen, and is obtained chiefly from the waste liquors of the manufactories of illuminating gas. Ammonia gas may be changed to a liquid or solid by cold and pressure. An important use of liquid ammonia is in the manufacture of ice. (See Ice.) Ammonia unites with acids to form ammonium salts. The carbonate is much used for smelling salts, the chloride is used in soldering and in medicine, and the sulphate and other salts are valuable fertilizers.
