"Nought loves another as itself, "Nor venerates another so, "Nor is it possible to Thought "A greater than itself to know:
"[Then del.] And father [I cannot del.] how can I love you "[Nor del.] Or any of my brothers more? "I love [myself, so does the bird del.] you like the little bird
"That picks up crumbs around the door."
The Priest sat by and heard the child. In trembling zeal he seiz'd his hair: [The mother follow'd, weeping loud: "O, that I such a fiend should bear." del.] [Then del.] He led him by his little coat And all admir'd his priestly care.
And standing on the altar high: "Lo, what a fiend is here!" said he, "One who sets reason up for judge "Of our most holy mystery."
The weeping child could not be heard; The weeping parents wept in vain. [They bound his little ivory limbs In a cruel Iron chain. del.]
[[And del.] They strip'd him to his little shirt & bound him in an iron chain.

CHAPTER IV.
THEIR LIFE UNDERGROUND.
The men in these dens became restless. Sometimes at night, in spite of the danger, they would leave them and go forth to dance on the neighboring moor. Or else they prayed, to kill time. "All day long," said Bourdoiseau, "Jean Chouan made us tell our beads."
It was almost impossible when the time came round, to prevent those of the lower Maine from leaving to take part in the Fête de la Gerbe. Some had their own ideas. Denys, called Tranche-Montagne, disguised himself as a woman to go to see the comedy at Laval; then he went back to his cave.
They would suddenly make away with themselves, leaving the dungeon for the grave.
​Sometimes they would raise the cover of their hole and listen for distant fighting; they followed the struggle with their ears. The firing of the Republicans was regular, that of the Royalists, intermittent; this was their guide. If the firing of the platoons ceased suddenly, it was a sign that the Royalists were worsted; if the irregular firing continued and seemed to disappear in the distance, it was a sign that they had the advantage. The Whites always pursued; the Blues never, for the country was against them.
These underground warriors were admirably drilled. Nothing was swifter than their communications, nothing more mysterious. They had broken down all the bridges, they had destroyed all the wagons, and yet they found a way to tell each other everything and to warn each other in season. Relays of emissaries were established from forest to forest, from village to village, from farm to farm, from hut to hut, from bush to bush.
This stupid-looking peasant went along carrying messages in his stick, which was hollow.
A former constituent, Boétidoux, to enable them to go from one end of Brittany to the other, furnished them with Republican passports of the new design, with a blank for their names, of which this traitor had large bundles. It was impossible to detect them. "Secrets entrusted to more than four hundred thousand indivividuals," said Puysaye, "were religiously kept."
It seemed that this square, enclosed on the south by the boundary of the Sables to Thouars, on the east by the boundary of Thouars to Saumur and by the river of Thoué, on the north by the Loire, and on the west by the ocean, had a common nervous system, so that, not a point of this ground could stir without the whole being set in motion. In a twinkling, they were informed of Noirmoutier at Luçon, and the camp of La Loué knew what was going on in the camp of Croix-Morineau. One would have said that the birds had something to do with it. Hoche wrote, the seventh Messidor, year III: "One would have believed that they had telegraphs."
They had clans, like the Scotch. Each parish had its captain. My father took part in that war, and I am able to say something about it.
# Notes of my Captivity in Russia/Preface

PREFACE OF THE EDITOR.
The original, of which this volume is a translation, was written, nearly fifty years ago. during the Author's residence in the United States of America, and left by him, before his death in 1841, to the Polish Historical Committee of Paris, by whose order it was first published last year.
Russia has been, for the last ten years, a favourite field of investigation. Many tourists, English, American, German, and French, have employed their pens in the description of that colossal Empire, and have enriched the literature of their respective countries with interesting and popular works. The intrinsic value, however, of these works varies according to the means their authors had of obtaining correct information regarding a country, in which truth, like many other things, is the exclusive monopoly of the Autocrat, and of whose language and customs foreign writers are comparatively ignorant.
​Niemcewicz, from his knowledge of the language and manners of Russia, and from his opportunities of becoming acquainted with the different classes in that country, has a peculiar claim to our confidence. It does not fall within his province to give a complete description of that Empire, but, in relating the incidents of his own captivity, and the political events which ultimately led to the downfal of his unhappy country, he pourtrays with a masterly hand the Russian Court, statesmen and public functionaries, at the end of last century, giving, besides, many incidental sketches not less interesting.
The Editor believes no apology is necessary for introducing such an Author to the notice of the British public, and if there were, it could be found in the sacrifices he himself has made in the same holy cause, and the interest he cannot but feel in every document calculated to throw light on the barbarous injuries inflicted on his dismembered country.

# Of the Imitation of Christ/Book IV/Chapter XVI

CHAPTER XVI.
THAT WE OUGHT TO LAY OPEN OUR NEEDS TO CHRIST, AND TO CRAVE HIS GRACE.
THOU most sweet and loving Lord, Whom I now desire to receive with all devotion, Thou knowest My infirmities and necessities; in how many sins and evils I am involved; how often I am weighed down, tempted, disturbed, and defiled by them.
Unto Thee I come for remedy, I entreat of Thee consolation and support.
I speak to Thee Who knowest all things, to Whom all my inward thoughts are open, and Who alone canst perfectly comfort and help me.
Thou knowest what good things I stand in most need of, and how poor I am in all virtue.
2. Behold, I stand before Thee poor and naked, calling for grace, and imploring mercy.
Refresh Thy hungry supplicant, inflame my coldness with the fire of Thy love, enlighten my blindness with the brightness of Thy presence.
Do Thou turn all earthly things into bitterness, all things grievous and contrary into patience, all low and created things into contempt and oblivion.
Lift up my heart to Thee in heaven, and do not send me away to wander over the earth.
Be Thou alone sweet unto me from henceforth for evermore; for Thou alone art my meat and drink, my love and my joy, my sweetness and all my good.
​3. O that with Thy presence Thou wouldst wholly inflame, burn, and conform me unto Thyself; that I might be made one spirit with Thee, by the grace of inward union, and by the meltings of ardent love!
Suffer me not to go away from Thee hungry, but deal mercifully with me, as oftentimes Thou hast dealt wonderfully with Thy saints.
What marvel is it if I should be wholly inflamed by Thee, since Thou art a fire always burning and never decaying, a love purifying the heart, and enlightening the understanding.
# Of the Imitation of Christ/Book IV/Chapter XVIII

CHAPTER XVIII.
THAT A MAN SHOULD NOT BE A CURIOUS SEARCHER INTO THE HOLY SACRAMENT, BUT AN HUMBLE FOLLOWER OF CHRIST, SUBMITTING HIS SENSE TO DIVINE FAITH.
HOU oughtest to beware of curious and unprofitable searching into this most profound sacrament, if thou wilt not be plunged into the depths of doubt.
He that is a searcher of My majesty shall be overpowered by My glory. God is able to work more than man can understand.
A dutiful and humble enquiry after the truth is allowable, provided we be always ready to be taught, and study to walk in the sound doctrine of the church of our fathers.
2. It is a blessed simplicity when a man leaves the difficult ways of questions and disputings, and goes forward in the plain and firm path of God's commandments.
Many have lost devotion, whilst they sought to search into things too high.
Faith is required at thy hands, and a sincere life; not enquiry into the deep mysteries of God.
If thou dost not understand things that are beneath thee how shalt thou comprehend those which are above thee?
Submit thyself unto God, and humble thy sense to faith, and the light of knowledge shall be given thee, ​in such degree as shall be profitable and necessary for thee.
3. Some are grievously tempted about faith and this holy sacrament; but this is not to be imputed to themselves, but rather to the enemy.
Be not thou anxious herein; do not dispute with thine own thoughts, nor give any answer to doubts suggested by the devil; but trust the words of God, trust His Saints and Prophets, and the enemy will flee from thee.
It is profitable to the servant of God to endure such things.
For the devil tempteth not unbelievers and sinners; but faithful and devout persons he tempteth and disquieteth.
4. Go forward therefore with simple and undoubting faith, and with the reverence of a supplicant draw thou near to the holy sacrament; and whatsoever thou art not able to understand, commit to Almighty God.
God deceiveth thee not; he is deceived that trusteth too much to himself.
God walketh with the simple, revealeth Himself to the humble, giveth understanding to the little ones, openeth the sense to pure minds, and hideth grace from the proud.
Human reason may be deceived, true faith cannot be deceived.
5. All reason and natural search ought to follow Faith, not to go before it, nor to break in upon it.
For Faith and Love do here specially take the ​lead, and work in hidden ways, in this most holy sacrament.
God, who is eternal, incomprehensible, and of infinite power, doeth things great and unsearchable in Heaven and in earth, and there is no tracing out His marvellous works.
If the works of God were such that they might be easily comprehended by human reason, they could not justly be called marvellous or unspeakable.

# Notes on Nursing: What It Is, and What It Is Not/Preface

PREFACE.
The following notes are by no means intended as a rule of thought by which nurses can teach themselves to nurse, still less as a manual to teach nurses to nurse. They are meant simply to give hints for thought to women who have personal charge of the health of others. Every woman, or at least almost every woman, in England has, at one time or another of her life, charge of the personal health of somebody, whether child, or invalid, — in other words, every woman is a nurse. Every day sanitary knowledge, or the knowledge of nursing, or in other words, of how to put the constitution in such a state as that it will have no disease, or that it can recover from disease, takes a higher place. It is recognized as the knowledge which every one ought to have — distinct from medical knowledge, which only a profession can have.
If, then, every woman must at some time or other of her life, become a nurse, i. e., have charge of somebody's health, how immense and how valuable would be the produce of her united experience if every woman would think how to nurse!
I do not pretend to teach her how, I ask her to teach herself, and for this purpose I venture to give her some hints.

APPENDIX.
The idea of an appendix to this work was suggested by a relative, who promised to prepare it, but who has been detained now for over a year in one of the public buildings of Colorado on the trumped-up charge of horse-stealing. The very fact that he was not at once hanged shows that the charge was not fully sustained, and that the horse was very likely of little value.

Interpretation of certain words.
Terrella, a globular loadstone.
Verticity, polar vigour, not περιδίνησις but περιδίνεισιος δύναμις: not a vertex or πόλος but a turning tendency.
Electricks, things which attract in the same manner as amber.
Excited Magnetick, that which has acquired powers from the loadstone.
Magnetick Versorium, a piece of iron upon a pin, excited by a loadstone.
Non-magnetick Versorium, a versorium of any metal, serving for electrical experiments.
Capped loadstone, which is furnished with an iron cap, or snout.
Meridionally, that is, along the projection of the meridian.
Paralleletically, that is, along the projection of a parallel.
Cusp, tip of a versorium excited by the loadstone.
Cross, sometimes used of the end that has not been touched and excited by a loadstone, though in many instruments both ends are excited by the appropriate termini of the stone.
Cork, that is, bark of the cork-oak.
Radius of the Orbe of the Loadstone, is a straight line drawn from the summit of the orbe of the loadstone, by the shortest way, to the surface of the body, which, continued, will pass through the centre of the loadstone.
Orbe of Virtue, is all that space through which the Virtue of any loadstone extends.
Orbe of Coition, is all that space through which the smallest magnetick is moved by the loadstone.
Proof, for a demonstration shown by means of a body.
Magnetick Coition: since in magnetick bodies, motion does not occur by an attractive faculty, but by a concourse or concordance of both, not as if there were an ἑλκτικὴ δύναμις of one only, but a συνδρομή of both; there is always a coition of the vigour: and even of the body if its mass should not obstruct.
Declinatorium, a piece of Iron capable of turning about an axis, excited by a loadstone, in a declination instrument.

CHAP. XI.
rom the ore, which is converted, or separated, partly into metal, partly into slag, by the intense heat of fires, iron is smelted in the first furnaces in a space of eight, ten, or twelve hours, and the metal flows away from the dross and useless matter, forming a large and long mass, which being subjected to a sharp hammering is cut into parts, out of which when reheated in the second hearth of the forge, and again placed on the anvil, the smiths fashion quadrangular lumps, or more specially bars which are bought by merchants and blacksmiths, from which in smithies usually it is the custom to fashion the various implements. This iron we term wrought, and its attraction by the loadstone is manifest to all. But we, by more carefully trying everything, have found out that iron merely, by itself alone, not excited by any loadstone, not charged by any alien forces, attracts other iron; though it does not so eagerly snatch and suddenly pluck at it as would a fairly strong loadstone; this you may know thus: A small piece of cork, the size of a hazel-nut, rounded, is traversed by an iron wire up to the middle of the wire: when set swimming on still water apply to one end of it, close (yet so as not to touch), the end of another iron wire; and wire draws wire, and one follows the other when slowly drawn back, and this goes on up to the proper boundaries. Let A be the cork with the iron wire, B one end of it raised a little above the surface of the water, C the end of the second wire, showing the way in which B is drawn by C. You may prove it in another way in a larger body. Let a long bright iron rod (such as is made for hangings and window curtains) be hung in balance by a slender silken cord: to one end of this as it rests in the air bring a small oblong mass of polished iron, with its proper ​end at the distance of half a digit. The balanced iron turns itself to the mass; do you with the same quickness draw back the mass in your hand in a circular path about the point of equilibrium of the suspension; the end of the balanced iron follows after it, and turns in an orbit.
# On the Magnet/I-10

CHAP. X.
eplorable is man's ignorance in natural science, and modern philosophers, like those who dream in darkness, need to be aroused, and taught the uses of things and how to deal with them, and to be induced to leave the learning sought at leisure from books alone, and that is supported only by unrealities of arguments and by conjectures. For the knowledge of iron (than which nothing is in more common use), and that of many more substances around us, remains unlearned; iron, a rich ore of which, placed in a vessel upon water, by an innate property of its own directs itself, just like the loadstone, North and South, at which points it rests, and to which, if it be turned aside, it reverts by its own inherent vigour. But many ores, less perfect in their nature, which yet contain amid stone or earthy substances plenty of iron, have no such motion; but when prepared by skilful treatment in the fires, as shown in the foregoing chapter, they acquire a polar vigour (which we call verticity); and not only the iron ores in request by miners, but even earth merely charged with ferruginous matter, and many rocks, do in like manner tend and lean toward those portions of the heavens, or more truly of the earth, if they be skilfully placed, until they reach the desired location, in which they eagerly repose.

The true Name is like none other name! The distinction of the Conditioned from the Unconditioned is but a word: The Unconditioned is the seed, the Conditioned is the flower and the fruit. Knowledge is the branch, and the Name is the root. Look, and see where the root is: happiness shall be yours when you come to the root. The root will lead you to the branch, the leaf, the flower, and the fruit: It is the encounter with the Lord, it is the attainment of bliss, it is the reconciliation of the Conditioned and the Unconditioned.
