ELIZABETH PETROVNA (1709–1762), empress of Russia, daughter of Peter the Great and of Catherine I., was born on the 5th September 1709. In consequence of a law of her father, by which the sovereign had the power to choose his successor, she had no legal claim to the throne. The empress Anna Ivanova died in 1740. She had appointed Ivan, son of her niece Anne duchess of Brunswick, 3. child only a few months old, to the throne, with Biron, her favourite, regent. Elizabeth was quite con- tented with this arrangement. She declared that love was the supreme good, and that she had no desire for the cares and honours of a crown. But the prestige of her father’s name, and the favour in which she stood with the Russian people, rendered her an object of jealousy to the regent and t0 the mother of the presumptive heir; and on her refusing a proposal of marriage with the duke of Brunswick, brother- in—law of Anne, it was hinted to her that she should take the veil. She might not even then have listened to the suggestions of those who counselled a conspiracy, had she not been persuaded by Lestoeq, hcr physician and favourite, that the suspicions of the Government were so much aroused that to go back or to delay was no longer compatible with safety. Yielding to those representations, she resochd to make the venture, and on the 6th December 1741 entered the barracks of the Preobrajcnsky guards and endeavoured to induce them to sWear allegiance to her. Notwithstanding her powerful appeal and the promise of high rewards, all hesitated with the exception of a single company—old Soldiers of Peter the Great; but placing her- self at the head of this small hand, she entered the imperial palace and made prisoners of the regent and of Anne and her son. She possessed already the affections of the people, and at once her authority was ﬁrmly established. Her administration was successful both at home and abroad. Although she was ruled by worthless favourites, who fol- lowed each cther in rapid succession, her reign was very popular with the people, who surnamed her the Clement. She was indolent and sensual, but she possessed con- siderable abilities, and an energetic will when it was roused to exertion. She had some taste for literature and the fine arts, and founded the university of Mos- cow, and the Academy for the Fine Arts of St Peters- burg. In 17-13 she brought the war with Sweden to a close by an advantageous treaty. She successfully assisted Maria Theresa against Frederick the Great, aml in this way con- tributed to the peace of Aix—la—Chapelle in 1748. After this, irritated, it is sail, by a reported witty remark of Frederick, she took part in the Seven Years’ War, and by suc- cessive victories reduced that monarch to great straits, from which he was only delivered by her death (Jan. 5, 1762).

ELLORA, a town of India, in the native state of Hyderabad, near the city of Dowletabad, situated in 20° 2' N. lat. and 75° 13' E. long. In a mountain near this town there are some remarkable excavations, containing mythological symbols of the Hindu worship, and temples ornamented with statues of many of the deities. The principal figures are those of Indra, the god of the firmament, and his consort Indrani. Besides these, there are some figures of the deities and incarnations adored by the Jains, the followers of Buddha and Parisnáth; but all of them have been forsaken by the priests. The Temple is said to have been executed by Rájáh Edu of Ellichpur, who was cured of a cutaneous disorder by a spring near the place, and in gratitude gave orders for the construction of the shrine. It measures 138 feet in front, and in the interior extends 247 feet in length by 150 feet in breadth, and is in some places 100 feet high. A minute account of these curious antiquities is contained in the sixth volume of the Asiatic Researches and in Fergusson's History of Indian and Eastern Architecture. See also article Architecture, vol. ii. pp. 394–395. Ellora was ceded in 1818 by Holkar to the British. who transferred it to the Nizám in 1822 by the treaty of Hyderabad.

ELLICHPUR (with Melghát), a district of British India, in the connnissionership of East Berar, within the Hyderabad Assigned Districts, lies between 20° 51’ and 21° 46’ N. lat. and 76° 40' and 78° 30' long. It is bounded on the N. by the Tapti river and the Betul and Chindwara districts of the Central Provinces, on the E. by the \Vardha river, on the S. by the Amraoti district, and on the \V. by the Nimar and Akola districts. Together with )lelghat, it now comprises an area of “2772 square miles, with a population of 344,358, of whom nine-tenths are Hindus. The entire northern half of the district consists of a succession of hills and valleys known as the Melglnit or Gawilgarh hills, a section of the Stitpura Mountains. The main ridge or watershed of the Sz’itpuras runs through the district from east to west, attaining its greatest eleva- tion at Bail-at, 3987 feet above sea-level. The southern portion of the district is ﬂat, and drained by numerous small streams ﬂowing into the Wardha and I’urna rivers. The only metalled road is that from Amraoti to Ellichpur; but there are several other country roads, and fair weather tracks from village to village passable for eight months in the year. In the hill country, the chief passes are Mallara on the east and Dulghat and Bingara on the west, none of which, however, are practicable for wheeled vehicles. The principal agricultural products are rice and wheat (of excellent quality), gram, pulses, and oilseeds, and these, together with ghi and forest timber, comprise the chief exports of the district. The imports are mainly English and country cloth, iron and copper utensils, tobacco, salt, sugar, &c. Ellichpur, the principal town, contains a population of 27,782. It was formerly the capital of the Mahometan governors of the Deccan, and a place of considerable importance.

The Weavers Lamentation.
It was on a Mondy morning with my heart full of woe, I went down to my cold loom my ſhuttle to throw, There is nothing that grieves but innocent love, Still hoping to be ſaved by the girl that I love. Oh! Sally, oh! Sally it's little do you know The love I bear to you which if I'd ſhow And you for to know it your heart would relent, And oh come lovely Sally and don't cause me repent. It's my friend and relations they all join in one-- To part us dear Sally they do what they can. But if you love this Country and go along with me, A lady in Colley my Sally ſhall be. If i could command the King's army in one, And I for to fight love and you to look on. I would croſs the wide ocean where the billows do roar, For to ſport with you Sally along Colley ſhore Whed I riſe in the morning I comb down my hair Look unto Colley my anguiſh lies there. There's nothing that grieves me or diſturbes my mind But the leaving of Sally in Colley behind. Oh what is the reaſon they baniſhed my ſwain, Or what is the reaſon ſhe left her own land. It was the heavy vows ſhe made unto me
That baniſhed my Sally ſo far o'er the ſea. For when I look to the Highlands my heart it is ſad When I look to the Lowlands ſhe's not to be had. I muſt row my long boat unto ſome other ſhore,
Farewell rolling Derry I ſhall ne'er ſee you more

D.
Whyte, the Bastille Prisoner.
(See pp. 8-10.)
An article by M. Begis, in the Intermédiaire, April 10, 1889, based on researches among the Bastille papers in the Arsenal Library, clears up all those doubtful questions. James Francis Xavier Whyte, afterwards known as Count Whyte de Malleville, was born at Dublin in 1730. He went over to France, and became first a cornet in the Soubise volunteers, and then a captain in Lally Tollendal's Franco-Irish regiment. In 1767 he married at Paris. In 1781 he was incarcerated at Vincennes, at the instance of his family, on account of mental derangement. In 1784 he was transferred to the Bastille. In March 1789 he was declared interdit, that is to say, deprived of the management of his property. The two court pensioners, whom I conjectured to be his sisters, were evidently his daughters, and the proceedings against him were probably taken for their protection. The day after the fall of the Bastille, Whyte was placed in the asylum at Charenton, on the closing of which he was transferred, July 31, 1795, to another asylum, Petites Maisons. Whyte, while an object of pity, was thus in no way a victim of despotism. Of his six fellow-captives, four were forgers, a fifth was confined for indecency, and the sixth, like Whyte insane, had declared himself an accomplice in the attempted murder of Louis XV.

I am Constantine Kanaris:
    I, who lie beneath this stone,
Twice into the air in thunder
    Have the Turkish galleys blown.
In my bed I died—a Christian,
    Hoping straight with Christ to be;
Yet one earthly wish is buried
    Deep within the grave with me—
That upon the open ocean
    When the third Armada came,
They and I had died together,
    Whirled aloft in wings of flame.
Yet 't is something that they've laid me
    In a land without a stain:
Keep it thus, my God and Saviour,
    Till I rise from earth again!

# Epitaph on Don Francisco

                   An Epitaph.
       Here lieth the Body of Colonel
             DON FRANCISCO;
    Who, with inflexible Constancy,
    And inimitable Uniformity of Life,
Persisted, in Spite of Age and Infirmity,
    In the Practice of every human Vice,
    Excepting Prodigality and Hypocrisy;
          His insatiable Avarice
       Exempting him from the first,
       And his matchless Impudence
             From the latter.
          Nor was he more singular
    In that undeviating Viciousness of Life,
    Than successful in accumulating Wealth;
                Having,
    Without Trust of public Money, Bribe,
    Worth, Service, Trade, or Profession,
       Acquired, or rather created
          A Ministerial Estate.
Among the Singularities of his Life and Fortune
          Be it likewise commemorated,
       That he was the only Person in his Time
    Who could cheat without the Mask of Honesty;
       Who could retain his primaeval Meanness
    After being possessed of 10,000 Pounds a Year;
    And who, having done, every Day of his Life,
          Something worthy of a Gibbet,
             Was once condemned to one
             For what he had not done.
       Think not, indignant Reader,
       His Life, useless to Mankind.
                PROVIDENCE
       Favoured, or rather connived at
          His execrable Designs,
          That he might remain,
       To this, and future Ages,
    A conspicuous Proof and Example
          Of how small Estimation
Exorbitant Wealth is held in the Sight
          Of the ALMIGHTY,
          By his bestowing it on
             The most unworthy
          Of all the Descendants
                of Adam.

# Epitaph on Elias James

Elias James was a wealthy London brewer who died in 1610. The epitaph for James was on a memorial in the church of St. Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe. The memorial no longer exists but was recorded in the 1633 edition of John Stow's Survey of London. The text is also present in the same manuscript which preserves the poem Shall I Die, where it is ascribed to Shakespeare.
When God was pleased, the world unwilling yet,
Elias James to nature paid his debt,
And here reposeth; as he lived he died, The saying in him strongly verified "Such life, such death", then, a known truth to tell, He lived a godly life and died as well.

* Epitaph On My Ever Honoured Father
* O ye whose cheek the tear of pity stains,
* Draw near with pious rev'rence, and attend!
* Here lie the loving husband's dear remains,
* The tender father, and the gen'rous friend;
* 5The pitying heart that felt for human woe,
* The dauntless heart that fear'd no human pride;
* The friend of man — to vice alone a foe;
* For "ev'n his failings lean'd to virtue's side." 1784

## Notes

An epitaph Burns writes on his Father which was included along with a number of other Epitaphs in the Kilmarnock edition of his poems. In this Epitaph Burns draws attention to his Father's virtues as a loving husband, tender Father and generous friend. He reflects on his humanity and vice less habits with few failings. He then acknowledges that the last line he has used is from Goldsmith's "Deserted Village". Burnes, William (1721 — 84) died at Lochlie Farm, Tarbolton. Burns and his family brought his Father's remains to Alloway kirkyard as he had always intended since moving to that parish. The headstone of his grave has this epitaph carved into the reverse side.
