On April 12th, 1632, he was appointed King's printer in Scotland in succession to T. Finlason.

[Aldis, List of Books printed in Scotland, p. 124.] There is also reason to believe that he had the management of the Irish printing office established by the Company of Stationers, and Mr. F.

The position of his printing house in London has not been found.
# A Dictionary of the English Language/A

See the modern Wiktionary entry at A
A, The first letter of the European alphabets, has, in the English language, three different sounds, which may be termed the broad, open, and slender.
The broad sound, resembling that of the German a, is found in many of our monosyllables, as all, wall, malt, salt, in which a is pronounced as au in cause, or aw in law. Many of these words were anciently written with au, as sault, waulk; which happens to be still retained in fault. This was probably the ancient found of the Saxons, since it is almost uniformly preferred in the rustic pronunciation, and the Northern dialects, as maun for man, haund for hand.
A open, not unlike the a of the Italians, is found in father, rather, and more obscurely in fancy, fast, &c.
A slender or close, is the peculiar a of the English language, resembling the sound of the French e masculine, or diphthong ai in pȧis, or perhaps a middle sound between them, or between the a and e; to this the Arabic a is said nearly to approach. Of this sound we have examples in the words, place, face, waste, and all those that terminate in ation; as relation, nation, generation.
A is short, as, glass, grass; or long, as, glaze, graze: it is marked long, generally, by an e final, plane, or by an i added, as plain. The short a is open, the long a close.
A hunting Chloe went.Prior.
They go a begging to a bankrupt's door.Dryden.
May peace still slumber by these purling fountains! Which we may every year Find when we come a fishing here.Wotton.
Now the men fell a rubbing of armour, which a great while had lain oiled.Wotton.
He will knap the spears a pieces with his teeth.More's Antid. Athm.
Another falls a ringing a Pescennius Niger, and judiciously distinguishes the sound of it to be modern.Addison on Medals.
The river Inn passes through a wide open country, during all its course through Bavaria; which is a voyage of two days, after the rate of twenty leagues a day.Addison on Italy.
For cloves and nutmegs to the line-a, And even for oranges to China.Dryden.
I 'gin to be a weary of the fun; And with the state of th' world were now undone.Shakespeare's Macbeth.
And now a breeze from shore began to blow, The tailors ship their oars, and cease to row; Then hoist their yards a-trip, and all their sails Let fall, to court the wind, and catch the gales.Dryden's Ceyx and Alcyone.
A little house with trees a row, And, like its master, very low.Pope, Hor.

# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Chang K'an

​77Chang K'an 张堪 (T. 君游). 1st cent. A.D. A native of Nan-yang in Honan, who on being left an orphan resigned all his fortune to a cousin and betook himself to study at Ch'ang-an. He soon became known as a "Divine Boy," and attracted the attention of Liu Hsiu, afterwards first Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. When the latter came to the throne he gave Chang an appointment as secretary in a Board. It was Chang who urged Wu Han to proceed against the White Emperor (see Kung-sun Shu) when he was on the point of turning back; and it was he who made a careful inventory of all the valuable loot found at Ch'êng-tu, out of which he kept back absolutely nothing for himself. Promoted later on to be Governor of Yü-yang, his administration was so benign that every blade of corn is said to have borne two ears. He entirely succeeded in keeping the Hsiung-nu in check, and died at his post, full of honours.
# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Chang Kang

​78Chang Kang 張綱 (T. 文紀). A virtuous Censor, who flourished during the reign of the Emperor Shun Ti, A.D. 126–148. Being ordered to proceed on a commission to examine into the morals of the empire, he buried his carriage-wheels at the gates of the capital, saying, "While wolves are in office, why seek out foxes?" Thereupon ​he boldly set to work to impeach the corrupt oficials who occupied high places. He also distinguished himself by securing the surrender of the insurgent 張嬰 Chang Ying, together with over ten thousand of his adherents, visiting the rebel camp unarmed and unattended, and winning over the leader by the simple force of his arguments. But the notorious Liang Chi was his enemy, and prevented him from being ennobled for his services. He died unrewarded at the early age of 36; upon which his son received an official appointment and a present of a million cash.
# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Chang Jang

​73Chang Jang 張讓. Died A.D. 190. A native of Ying-chou in Anhui, who filled the post of chief eunuch under the Emperor Ling Ti of the Han dynasty, and who was the instigator of the objectionable tax levied for the purpose of restoring the Imperial palaces. Upon the death of his master, he and a number of other eunuchs, fearing the vengeance of Yüan Shao, took to flight, carrying ​with them the person of the boy Emperor. Being hotly pursued, Chang Jang committed suicide by throwing himself into the river.
# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Chang Jung

​75Chang Jung 張融 (T. 思光). A.D. 443–497. A native of Kiangsu, who entered upon official life as secretary to the Prince of Hsin-an. When the Emperor Hsiao Wu was building a shrine to the memory of his favourite concubine, the Prince's mother, Chang would only subscribe a hundred cash. This caused the Emperor to say sarcastically that he must be provided with some well-paid post, and to send him to 封溪 Feng-ch'i in Annam. Chang declared at starting that he had no fear as to returning; his only fear was that he might be sent back again. On the road, he fell into the hands of bandits; but when they were about to cut his head off, they found him quietly inditing a poem, at which they were so astonished that they let him go. He managed to reach Hué after a long passage, during which he composed a famous poem, called 海賦 Song of the Sea, admitted by 徐凱之 Hsü K'ai-chih to be superior to his own work under the same title. On his return, he was raised to high office, and was subsequently a great favourite with the Emperor Kao Ti of the Southern Ch'i dynasty, who said that he could not do without one such man, nor with two. In spite of his exalted rank he dressed so poorly that on one occasion his Majesty sent him an old suit of clothes, with a message that a tailor had been instructed to take his measure for a new one. The Taoist priest 陸修靜 Lu Hsiu-ching also gave him a fan made of white egret feathers, saying that strange things should be given to strange people.

# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Chang I (張儀)

​70Chang I 張儀. Died B.C. 310. A native of the Wei State, notorious as a clever political adventurer. In his youth, he and Su Ch'in were servants in a school, and picked up an education by copying the pupils' exercises on their palms and legs, and transcribing them at night when they got home. Subsequently, they both went to study under Kuei-ku Tzŭ, and then became itinerant politicians who laid themselves out for official employment with one or other of the Feudal States. Su Ch'in embraced the federal cause, and induced the Six States Ch'i, Ch'u, Yen, Chao, Wei, and Han, to band together to resist the growing power of the Ch'ins; while Chang I, after a short term of employment in the Ch'u State, entered the service of the ruler of the Ch'in State, and devoted all his energies to bringing the allies under the power of his master. In B.C. 328 he was invested with the title of Foreign Minister, and led a successful campaign against his own native State, by which Ch'in acquired a large slice of Wei. A few years later he was sent to Wei to be Minister, but the plan failed, and in 323 he returned to Ch'in, which State he continued to aid in its acquisition of territory. At length, he persuaded all the Six ​States to acknowledge the supremacy of Ch'in, for which he was ennobled as Prince. He lived to witness the downfall and assassination of his former comrade, Su Ch'in. He died however as Prime Minister of his native State of Wei, whither he returned in 310, after the accession to the throne of the Ch'in State of Wu Wang, who had never entertained friendly feelings for him. It is recorded that in his early life, after a banquet at the house of a Minister of Ch'u, at which he had been present, he was wrongly accused of stealing some valuable gem, and was very severely beaten. On his return home, he said to his wife, "Look and see if they have left me my tongue." And when his wife declared that it was safe and sound, he cried out, "If I still have my tongue, that is all I want."

# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Chang K'ai

​76Chang K'ai 長楷 (T. 公超). A.D. 81–150. A scholar, whose lectures on the Classics attracted so much notice that the streets ​leading to his house were completely blocked by the horses and carriages of rich people flocking to hear him. He accordingly sought refuge on the 弘農 Hung-nung mountain, whither, he was followed by so many disciples that the place assumed the features of a market-town. In 142 he was summoned to Court, but declined to go, as he was then engaged in studying magic, at which he so far succeeded that he could raise a fog a couple of miles in diameter. He got into trouble over this, and was thrown into prison, where he remained two years, occupying himself in writing a commentary on the Canon of History. His innocence was then established, and he was released.

# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Chang Po-hsing

​98 Chang Po-hsing 張伯行 (T. 孝先). A.D. 1651-1725. A native of 儀封 I-fêng in Honan. Graduating in 1685 as chin shih, he entered upon an official career, and soon gained distinction in connection with work upon the Yellow River. By 1707 he had risen to be Governor of Fuhkien, where he built a college and encouraged education. In 1709 he was transferred to Kiangsu, and there came into conflict with 噶禮 Koli, the Governor General, who was a Manchu. Each denounced the other, and Chang was condemned by a Commission; but the Emperor set aside the finding, and Chang triumphed. A few years later he was impeached by the Treasurer, and again a Commission decided against him. The Emperor however sent for him to Peking, and ultimately appointed him Vice President of the Board of Revenue. Besides the 居齊一得, a collection of essays on the principles of hydraulics, he published the 養正類編, a treatise for the young on right conduct, the 道南源委, containing notices of eminent Confucianists under the Sung dynasty, two large collections of extracts from various philosophers, and other works. He also wrote a famous memorial on Roman Catholic missionaries, pointing out that Christianity wrongly teaches men to forsake their parents, forbids the worship of ancestors, and is opposed to the established customs of China. He proposed that those missionaries engaged in astronomical pursuits should still be employed at the capital, but that all others should be ordered to quit the empire at once, and that all chapels should be closed. He received a public funeral, and was canonised as 清恪.

His career was a chequered one, and on several occasions he was dismissed to petty provincial posts. He edited and wrote a preface to the 素書, a short and shallow ethico-political treatise supposed to have been given to Chang Liang by the mysterious old man whose shoe fell over the bridge, and to have been discovered in Chang Liang's tomb at the beginning of the 4th cent. A.D. It is, however, generally admitted that this treatise was written by Chang Shang-ying himself. Canonised as 文忠.

In 1688 he accompanied the mission sent to settle the boundary dispute with Russia. Next year he became Governor of Chehkiang, where he reformed the grain transport and the salt administration, and also succeeded in placing an embargo on the export of munitions of war. After serving in high office in Peking, in 1698 he was made Viceroy of the Two Kiang, and in 1700 Director-General of the Yellow River. At the latter post he carried out the plans of the Emperor K'ang Hsi in respect to river conservation to his Majesty's great satisfaction, but in 1705 he was sharply rebuked for not keeping his subordinates in order.

He strenuously advised peace with the Chin$^a$ Tartars, and was dismissed and degraded when a fresh irruption took place. In the winter of the same year the capital, the modern K'ai-fêng Fu, was taken; and the Chins placed Chang upon the throne with the dynastic title of 大楚, the Emperor being sent into captivity. Chang was soon compelled by popular feeling to retire in favour of the Prince of 康 K'ang, brother to the late Emperor, who ruled as Kao Tsung, ​the widow of the Emperor Chê Tsung being Regent, and he himself Prime Minister. Later on he was ennobled as Prince, and was sent to be Governor of 奉國 Fêng-kuo in Ssŭch'uan. But he was soon put under detention at 潭 T'an-chou, now Ch'ang-sha in Hunan, and was allowed to commit suicide.
# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Chang Po-chieh

​97 Chang Po-chieh 張伯偕. A man of the T'ang dynasty, so like his brother Chang 仲偕 Chung-chieh that it was impossible to tell them apart. When Chung-chieh was married, his bride, in full bridal dress, happened to meet the elder brother, and said to him, "How do you think I look?" "I am Po-chieh," he replied; at which she ran hastily out of the room. Shortly afterwards ​meeting him again, the bride said, "I made such a mistake just now; I took Po-chieh for you." "But I am Po-chieh!" he cried, which so covered his sister-in-law with shame that she could never bear to see him again.
