​LAMB. (Lieutenant, 1815. f-p., ! 1; h-p., 28.)
James Thomas Lamb entered the Navy, 22 Dec. 1808, as Fst-cl. Vol., on board the Amethyst, of 42 guns and 222 men, Capt. Michael Seymour; and on 6 April, 1809, took part in a severe intermittent action of about four hours, which terminated in the capture, with a loss to the Amethyst of 8 men killed and 37 wounded, of the French frigate Le Niemen of 46 guns and 339 men, of whom 47 were slain and 73 wounded. After attending the expedition to Flushing he accompanied Capt. Seymour into his prize, which had been added to the Navy as a 38-gun frigate. He continued with him in that ship, on the Channel and Irish stations, until the spring of 1812, when he again followed him, as Midshipman, into the Hannibal 74. In March, 1814, being then on a cruize off Cherbourg, Mr. Lamb was present at the capture of the 40-gun frigate Sultane. We then find him proceeding to the West Indies, where, in the course of the same year, he successively joined the Bedford and Venerable 74’s, Capts. Jas. Walker and Geo. Pringle – the latter bearing the flag of Sir Philip Chas. Burham, by whom he was at first sent on a cruize in the Adams tender, and then nominated Acting Sub-Lieutenant of the Grecian schooner. He was made Lieutenant, 1 March, 1815, into the Fairy 18, Capt. Henry Loraine Baker, part of the force present at the ensuing surrender of Guadeloupe, with the despatches relative to which she returned to England; and he was next, from 29 of the following Sept. until superseded at his own request 27 March, 1817, employed on the Irish station in the Helicon and Martin sloops, both commanded by Capt. Andrew Mitchell. His last appointment was, 29 Aug. 1833, to the Coast Guard, in which service he remained until the early part of 1836,
We understand that on one occasion, while in command of a merchant-ship, Lieut. Lamb performed service which was acknowledged by a reward from Lloyd’s.

# A Naval Biographical Dictionary/Lambart, Oliver William Matthew

Layout 4
​LAMBART. (Lieut., 1844. f-p., 10; h-p., 0.)
The Honoobable Oliver William Matthew Lambart, born 26 Aug. 1822, is youngest son of Richard, seventh Earl of Cavan, K.C., a general officer in the Army, and Colonel of the 45th Regt. of Foot, by his second wife, Lydia, second daughter of Wm. Arnold, Esq., of Slatswood. He is half-uncle of the present Earl of Cavan.
This officer entered the Navy, 11 June, 1837, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Hazard 18, Capt. Jas. Wilkinson. In that vessel, after visiting the coast of Africa, he proceeded to the Mediterranean, where, until 1839, he served as Midshipman in the Rodney 92, Capt. Hyde Parker, Talavera 74, Capt. Wm. Bowen Mends, and Wasp 16, Capt. Hon. Dudley Worsley Anderson Pelham. Sailing then for China in the Blonde 42, Capt. Thos. Bourchier, he took part in the chief operations of the war, including the first and second attacks upon Canton, the reduction of Amoy, the re-taking of Chusan, the capture of Chinghae, Ningpo, and Chapoo, the battle of Woosung, the storming of Chin-Kiang-Foo, and the various hostilities on the Yang-tse-Kiang terminating with the pacification of Nanking. At Chin-Kiang-Foo, 21 July, 1842, Mr. Lambart was employed in the boats under Lieut. Edw. Crouch when they sustained, in an attempt to land the artillery-guns, a loss of 17 out of 24 persons wounded, including the officer last mentioned, whom he consequently succeeded in the command. In March, 1843, on his return to England, he joined the St. Vincent 120, flag-ship of Sir Chas. Rowley at Portsmouth, where he passed his examination 6 Sept. following, and was for some time employed as Mate in the Victoria and Albert yacht, Capt. Lord Adolphus FitzClarence. He obtained his commission 11 Oct. 1844, and since 19 Feb. 1845 (a few days previously to which period he had been appointed to the Rodney 92, Capt. Edw. Collier) has been serving in the Vanguard 80, Capt. Geo. Wickens Willes, on the Home and Mediterranean stations.
Lieut. Lambart married, 26 Nov. 1844, Anne Elizabeth, second daughter of Capt. G. W. Willes, R.N.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 221

Chap. CCXXI.—Reflexes in the Water, and particularly those of the Air.
The only portion of air that will be seen reflected in the water, will be that which is reflected by the surface of the water to the eye between equal angles; that is to say, the angle of incidence must be equal to the angle of reflexion.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 222

Chap. CCXXII.—What Surface is best calculated to receive most Colours.
White is more capable of receiving all sorts of colours, than the surface of any body whatever, that is not transparent. To prove it, we shall say, that any void space is capable of receiving what another space, not void, cannot receive. In the same manner, a white surface, like a void space, being destitute of any colour, will be fittest to receive such as are conveyed to it from any other enlightened body, and will participate more of the colour than black can do; which latter, like a broken vessel, is not able to contain any thing.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 224

Chap. CCXXIV.—On what Surfaces the true Colour is least apparent.
Polished and glossy surfaces shew least of their genuine colour. This is exemplified in the grass of the fields, and the leaves of trees, which, being smooth and glossy, will reflect the colour of the sun, and the air, where they strike, so that the parts which receive the light do not shew their natural colour.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 225

Chap. CCXXV.—What Surfaces shew most of their true and genuine Colour.
Those objects that are the least smooth and polished shew their natural colours best; as we see in cloth, and in the leaves of such grass or trees as are of a woolly nature; which, having no lustre, are exhibited to the eye in their true natural colour; unless that colour happen to be confused by that of another body casting on them reflexions of an opposite colour, such as the redness of the setting sun, when all the clouds are tinged with its colour.

Chap. CCXXIX.—How to increase the Beauty of Verdegris.
If you mix with the Verdegris some Caballine Aloe, it will add to it a great degree of beauty. It would acquire still more from Saffron, if it did not fade. The quality and goodness of this Aloe will be proved by dissolving it in warm Brandy. Supposing the Verdegris has already been used, and the part finished, you may then glaze it thinly with this dissolved Aloe, and it will produce a very fine colour. This Aloe may be ground also in oil by itself, or with the Verdegris, or any other colour, at pleasure.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 220

Chap. CCXX.—Of double and treble Reflexions of Light.
Double reflexes are stronger than single ones, and the shadows which interpose between the com​mon light and these reflexes are very faint. For instance, let A be the luminous body, A N, A S, are the direct rays, and S N the parts which receive the light from them. O and E are the places enlightened by the reflexion of that light in those parts. A N E is a single reflex, but A N O, A S O is the double reflex. The single reflex is that which proceeds from a single light, but the double reflexion is produced by two different lights. The single one E is produced by the light striking on B D, while the double one O proceeds from the enlightened bodies B D and D R co-operating together; and the shadows which are between N O and S O will be very faint.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 226

Chap. CCXXVI.—Of the Mixture of Colours.
Although the mixture of colours may be extended to an infinite variety, almost impossible to be described, I will not omit touching slightly upon it, setting down at first a certain number of simple colours to serve as a foundation, and with each of these mixing one of the others; one with one, then ​two with two, and three with three, proceeding in this manner to the full mixture of all the colors together: then I would begin again, mixing two of these colours with two others, and three with three, four with four, and so on to the end. To these two colours we shall put three; to these three add three more, and then six, increasing always in the same proportion.
I call those simple colours, which are not composed, and cannot be made or supplied by any mixture of other colours. Black and White are not reckoned among colours; the one is the representative of darkness, the other of light: that is, one is a simple privation of light, the other is light itself. Yet I will not omit mentioning them, because there is nothing in painting more useful and necessary; since painting is but an effect produced by lights and shadows, viz. chiaro-scuro. After Black and White come Blue and Yellow, then Green, and Tawny or Umber, and then Purple and Red. These eight colours are all that Nature produces. With these I begin my mixtures, first Black and White, Black and Yellow, Black and Red; then Yellow and Red: but I shall treat more at length of these mixtures in a separate work, which will be of great utility, nay very necessary. I shall place this subject between theory and practice.
Layout 2
# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 227

Chap. CCXXVII.—Of the Colours produced by the Mixture of other Colours, called secondary Colours.
The first of all simple colours is White, though philosophers will not acknowledge either White or Black to be colours; because the first is the cause, or the receiver of colours, the other totally deprived of them. But as painters cannot do without either, we shall place them among the others; and according to this order of things, White will be the first, Yellow the second, Green the third, Blue the fourth, Red the fifth, and Black the sixth. We shall set down White for the representative of light, without which no colour can be seen; Yellow for the earth; Green for water; Blue for air; Red for fire; and Black for total darkness.
If you wish to see by a short process the variety of all the mixed, or composed colours, take some coloured glasses, and, through them, look at all the country round: you will find that the colour of each object will be altered and mixed with the colour of the glass through which it is seen; observe which colour is made better, and which is hurt by the mixture. If the glass be yellow, the colour of the objects may either be improved, or greatly impaired by it. Black and White will be most altered, while Green and Yellow will be meliorated. In the same manner you may go through all the mixtures of colours, which are infinite. Select those which are new and agreeable to the sight; and following the ​same method you may go on with two glasses, or three, till you have found what will best answer your purpose.

That opake body will shew its colour more perfect and beautiful, which has near it another body of the same colour.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 228

Chap. CCXXVIII.—Of Verdegris.
This green, which is made of copper, though it be mixed with oil, will lose its beauty, if it be not varnished immediately. It not only fades, but, if washed with a sponge and pure water only, it will detach from the ground upon which it is painted, particularly in damp weather; because verdegris is produced by the strength of salts, which easily dissolve in rainy weather, but still more if washed with a wet sponge.

Are you not weary of ardent ways, Lure of the fallen seraphim? Tell no more of enchanted days.
Your eyes have set man's heart ablaze And you have had your will of him. Are you not weary of ardent ways?
Above the flame the smoke of praise Goes up from ocean rim to rim. Tell no more of enchanted days.
Our broken cries and mournful lays Rise in one eucharistic hymn. Are you not weary of ardent ways?
While sacrificing hands upraise The chalice flowing to the brim. Tell no more of enchanted days.
And still you hold our longing gaze With languorous look and lavish limb! Are you not weary of ardent ways? Tell no more of enchanted days.
# A Portuguesa

A Portuguesa is the national anthem of Portugal. It was written by Henrique Lopes de Mendonça (lyrics) and Alfredo Keil (music) after the nationalist resurgence provoked by the British Ultimatum (for Portuguese troops to vacate the territory between Angola and Mozambique), was adopted as a Republican anthem and, finally, by the new Portuguese Republic in 1910 as the national anthem, replacing "O Hino da Carta", the last anthem of the Constitutional Monarchy in Portugal.
    — Excerpted from A Portuguesa on Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia.
See also the original lyrics in Portugese on the Portugese Wikisource.
Heroes of the sea, noble race, Valiant and immortal nation, Now is the hour to raise up on high once more Portugal's splendour. From out of the mists of memory, Oh Homeland, we hear the voices Of your great forefathers That shall lead you on to victory!
CHORUS: To arms, to arms On land and sea! To arms, to arms To fight for our Homeland! To march against the enemy guns!
Unfurl the unconquerable flag In the bright light of your sky! Cry out all Europe and the whole world That Portugal has not perished. Your happy land is kissed By the Ocean that murmurs with love. And your conquering arm Has given new worlds to the world!
CHORUS
Salute the Sun that rises On a smiling future: Let the echo of an insult be The signal for our revival. The rays of that powerful dawn Are like a mother's kisses That protect us and support us Against the insults of fate.
