Produced by Jayam Subramanian and PG Distributed ProofreadersProduced from images provided by the Million Book ProjectIllustration Montague MasseyFor the benefit of the Red Cross FundRecollections of Calcutta for over half a centuryBy MONTAGUE MASSEYWITH ILLUSTRATIONSCALCUTTA1918DEDICATEDTOTHE LADY CARMICHAELTHE FOUNDER OF THE BENGAL WOMENS WAR FUNDINTRODUCTIONI think it would be advisable for me to state at the outset that thesereminiscences are entirely devoid of sensational elements in order toprevent any possible disappointment and remove from the minds ofthose and I know several who have conceived the idea that I am aboutto disclose matters that as far as I am concerned must for ever lieburied in the past There are certain startling incidents still freshin my memory that I could relate but they would be out of place in awork of this nature A considerable amount of the subjectmattercontained herein is devoted to a descriptive account of the wonderfultransformation that has overtaken the city since my first arrival inthe sixties and to the many and varied structural improvements andadditions that have been and are still being made in streets andbuildings both public and private The origin and conception of thislittle work is due to the inspiration of my friend Walter Exley of the_Statesman_ staff I had often before been approached by friends andothers on the subject of writing and publishing what I could tell ofCalcutta of the olden days but I had always felt some diffidence indoing so partly because I thought it might not prove sufficientlyinteresting But when Mr Exley appeared on the scene last Julyintroduced to me by a mutual friend matters seemed somehow to assumea different aspect In the first place I felt that I was talking to aman of considerable knowledge and experience in journalistic affairsand one whose opinion was worth listening to and it was inconsequence of what he told me that for the first time I seriouslycontemplated putting into effect what I had so frequently hesitated todo in the past He assured me I was mistaken in the view I had heldand that what I could relate would make attractive reading to thepresent generation of Europeans not only in the city but also in themofussil I finally yielded to persuasion and throwing back my memoryover the years tried to conjure up visions of Calcutta of the past Agood deal in the earlier part refers to a period which few if anyEuropeans at present in this country know of except through the mediumof books The three articles published in the columns of the_Statesman_ of the 22nd and 29th July and 5th August were the firstoutcome of our conversation I then left Calcutta for a tourupcountry as stated on page 28 and the work was temporarilysuspended It was not until the early part of September when I hadsettled down for a season at Naini Tal that I resumed the threads ofmy narrative It was at first my intention to continue publishing aseries of short articles in the columns of the _Statesman_ but as Iproceeded it gradually dawned upon my mind that I could achieve atwofold object by compiling my recollections in book form in aid ofthe Red Cross Fund Whether it was due to this new and additionalincentive which may perhaps have had the effect of stimulating mymental powers I know not but as I continued to write on scenes andevents long since forgotten seemed gradually to well up out of the dimand far distant past and visualize on the tablets of my memory I wasthus enabled to extend and develop the scope of the work beyond thelimit I had originally contemplated My one and ardent hope now isthat the book may prove a financial success for the benefit of thefunds of the Society on whose behalf it is published That some whoperhaps might not care to take a copy simply for its own sake will nothesitate to do so and thus assist by his or her own personal action inhowever small a degree in carrying on the good and noble work whichmust awaken in our hearts all the best and finest instincts of ournature as well as our warmest and deepest sympathiesI have to express my great thanks to Lady Carmichael for her kindnessand courtesy in having graciously accorded me permission to dedicatethe work to her on behalf of the Red Cross FundMy thanks are also due to my friend P Tennyson Cole the eminentportrait painter who did me the honour of painting my portrait forthe book at considerable sacrifice of his very valuable timeUnfortunately however it was found impossible to make use of theportrait as the time at our disposal was too short to permit of itsreproductionI am deeply indebted to the Honourable Maharajadhiraj Bahadur ofBurdwan who kindly placed at my disposal a collection of priceless andinvaluable old views of Calcutta which are now quite unobtainable andfor having had copies printed off from the negatives and for grantingme permission to reproduce them in my bookI have also to thank my friend Harold Sudlow for designing the sketchon the outer covering which I think considerably enhances theappearance of the book I must further acknowledge my indebtedness toMr J Zorab Superintending Engineer Presidency Circle PWD whorefreshed my memory as to certain details in the alteration of some ofthe public buildings while furnishing me with information as to someothers with which I had not been previously acquainted Last of allthough by no means the least my special thanks are due to my friendCF Hooper of Thacker Spink Co who has rendered me invaluableassistance in the compilation of the book and without whom many moredefects would have been apparent I shall for ever appreciate thevaluable time he expended and the amount of trouble he took which Iknow he could ill afford owing to the very busy life he

DELIVERY APPROVED DIRECTIONS FOR NURSES Illustration Medical KnowledgeIllustration PART IBOOK ITHE MASTERPIECE _On marriage and at what age young men and virgins are capable of it and why so much desire it Also how long men and women are capable of it_There are very few except some professional debauchees who will notreadily agree that Marriage is honourable to all being ordained byHeaven in Paradise and without which no man or woman can be in acapacity honestly to yield obedience to the first law of the creationIncrease and Multiply And since it is natural in young people todesire the embraces proper to the marriage bed it behoves parents tolook after their children and when they find them inclinable tomarriage not violently to restrain their inclinations which insteadof allaying them makes them but the more impetuous but rather providesuch suitable matches for them as may make their lives comfortablelest the crossing of those inclinations should precipitate them tocommit those follies that may bring an indelible stain upon theirfamilies The inclination of maids to marriage may be known by manysymptoms for when they arrive at puberty which is about the fourteenthor fifteenth year of their age then their natural purgations begin toflow and the blood which is no longer to augment their bodiesabounding stirs up their minds to venery External causes may alsoincline them to it for their spirits being brisk and inflamed whenthey arrive at that age if they eat hard salt things and spices thebody becomes more and more heated whereby the desire to veneralembraces is very great and sometimes almost insuperable And the use ofthis so much desired enjoyment being denied to virgins many times isfollowed by dismal consequences such as the green weesel colonetshortbreathing trembling of the heart etc But when they are marriedand their veneral desires satisfied by the enjoyment of their husbandsthese distempers vanish and they become more gay and lively thanbefore Also their eager staring at men and affecting their companyshows that nature pushes them upon coition and their parentsneglecting to provide them with husbands they break through modesty andsatisfy themselves in unlawful embraces It is the same with briskwidows who cannot be satisfied without that benevolence to which theywere accustomed when they had their husbandsAt the age of 14 the menses in virgins begin to flow then they arecapable of conceiving and continue generally until 44 when they ceasebearing unless their bodies are strong and healthful which sometimesenables them to bear at 65 But many times the menses proceed from someviolence done to nature or some morbific matter which often provesfatal And hence men who are desirous of issue ought to marry a womanwithin the age aforesaid or blame themselves if they meet withdisappointment though if an old man if not worn out with diseases andincontinency marry a brisk lively maiden there is hope of him havingchildren to 70 or 80 yearsHippocrates says that a youth of 15 or between that and 17 havingmuch vital strength is capable of begetting children and also that theforce of the procreating matter increases till 45 50 and 55 and thenbegins to flag the seed by degrees becoming unfruitful the naturalspirits being extinguished and the humours dried up Thus in generalbut as to individuals it often falls out otherwise Nay it isreported by a credible author that in Swedland a man was married at100 years of age to a girl of 30 years and had many children by herbut his countenance was so fresh that those who knew him not imaginedhim not to exceed 50 And in Campania where the air is clear andtemperate men of 80 marry young virgins and have children by themwhich shows that age in them does not hinder procreation unless they beexhausted in their youths and their yards be shrivelled upIf any would know why a woman is sooner barren than a man they may beassured that the natural heat which is the cause of generation is morepredominant in the man than in the woman for since a woman is moremoist than a man as her monthly purgations demonstrate as also thesoftness of her body it is also apparent that he does not much exceedher in natural heat which is the chief thing that concocts the humoursin proper aliment which the woman wanting grows fat whereas a manthrough his native heat melts his fat by degrees and his humours aredissolved and by the benefit thereof are converted into seed And thismay also be added that women generally are not so strong as men norso wise or prudent nor have so much reason and ingenuity in orderingaffairs which shows that thereby the faculties are hindered inoperations	28

have assumed a more elaborate and ambitiousform were it not that the author has been able to give to it onlythe scanty leisure of a busy district officer He has been somewhathampered by the fact that

Gregs Secret and AnothersXXIII The Committee on Class Honors XXIV ConclusionCHAPTER ITHE CLASS PRESIDENT LECTURES ON HAZINGLeaving the road that wound by the officers quarters at the northend turning on to the road that passed the hotel a hot somewhattired and rather dusty column of cadets swung along towards theirtents in the distanceThe column was under arms as though the cadets had been engaged intarget practice or out on a reconnaissanceThe young men wore russet shoes gray trousers and leggings grayflannel shirts and soft campaign hatsTheir appearance was not that of soldiers on parade but of thegrim toilers and fighters who serve in the fieldTheir work that morning had in fact been strictly in line withlabor for the young men under Captain McAneny had been engagedin the study of field fortifications To be more exact the youngmen had been digging military trenchesyesdigging them forat West Point hard labor is not beneath the cadets dignityJust as they swung off the road past the officers quarters theyoung men marching in route step fell quickly into step at thecommand of the cadet officer at the head of the lineNow they marched along at no greater speed but with better swingand rhythm They were in fact perfect soldiersthe best tobe found on earthPast the hotel they moved and out along the road that leads bythe summer encampment The brisk command of halt rang outImmediately afterwards the command was dismissed Carrying theirrifles at ease the young men stepped briskly through differentcompany streets to their tentsThree of these brought up together at one of the tentsHome Sweet Home hummed Greg Holmes as he stepped into histentThank goodness for the luxury of a little rest muttered DickPrescottRest repeated Tom Anstey with a look of amazement Whattime have you now for a restI can spare the time to stretch and yawn laughed Dick IfI am capable of swift work after that I may indulge in two yawnsLook out or youll get skinned for being late at dinner formationwarned GregThere was in truth no time for fooling These cadets and theircomrades had reached camp just on the dot of time But now theyhad precious few minutes in which to cleanse themselves brushtheir hair and get into white duck trousers and gray fatigue blousesThe call for dinner formation would sound at the appointed instantand they must be readySound it did in short time but it caught no one nappingNearly everyone of the young men in camp had just returned froma forenoons work and hot and dusty at thatBut now as the call sounded every member of three classes steppedfrom his tent looking as though he had just stepped from an hourspent in the hands of a valetNot one showed the least flaw in personal neatness Moreoverthe tents which these cadets had just quitted were in absoluteorder and wholly clean At West Point no excuse whatever is acceptedfor untidiness of person or quartersWith military snap and briskness the battalion was formed Thenat brisk command the battalion turned to the left in column offours marching down the hot sunblazed road to cadet messDespite the heat and the hard work of the forenoonthese cadetshad been up as they we every day in summer since five in themorningspirits ran high at the midday meal and chaffing talkand laughter ran from table to tableThe meal over the battalion marched back to camp There werea few minutes yet before the afternoon drills A few minutesof leisure Yes if such an easy act as dressing in uniform appropriateto the coming drill may be termed leisureDrills are going to be called off I reckon murmured Gregpoking his head outside the khaki colored tent after he had puthimself in readinessWhats up demanded Anstey lacing a leggingThe sky is about the color of ink over old Crows Nest reportedGregJust then there came a vivid flash of lightning followed ina few seconds by a deep echoing roll of thunder The summerstorms along this part of the Hudson River sometimes come almostout of the clear skyIm always thankful for even the smallest favors muttered Ansteywith a yawnWell have to make up this drill some other day when its hotterDick observed but he nevertheless dropped on to a campstool witha grunt of reliefYes each of these three cadets could now have a campstool of hisown in quarters for Prescott Holmes and Anstey were all yearlingsAnd a yearling is some one in the cadet corps For the first fewdays after his release from the plebe class the yearling is quitelikely to feel that he is nearly the whole thing By degreeshowever the yearling in summer encampment discovers that there isa first class of much older cadets above himThere are no second classmen in summer encampment until justbefore the time to break camp and return to barracks for the followingacademic year Members of the new second classmen who havesuccessfully passed through the first two years of life	36

FortI took the leadI bent over him and spoke to him but he did not answerIllustration With the exception of Carson we were all scaredCHAPTER 1At the age of fifteen I found myself in St Louis Mo probably fivehundred miles from my childhood home with one dollar and a half inmoney in my pocket I did not know one person in that whole city and noone knew me After I had wandered about the city a few days trying tofind something to do to get a living I chanced to meet what proved tobe the very best that could have happened to me I met Kit Carson theworlds most famous frontiersman the man to whom not half the credithas been given that was his dueThe time I met him Kit Carson was preparing to go west on a tradingexpedition with the Indians When I say going west I mean far beyondcivilization He proposed that I join him and I in my eagerness foradventures in the wild consented readilyWhen we left St Louis we traveled in a straight western direction oras near west as possible Fiftyeight years ago Missouri was a sparselysettled country and we often traveled ten and sometimes fifteen mileswithout seeing a house or a single personWe left Springfield at the south of us and passed out of the State ofMissouri at Fort Scott and by doing so we left civilization behind forfrom Fort Scott to the Pacific coast was but very little known and wasinhabited entirely by hostile tribes of IndiansA great portion of the country between Fort Scott and the RockyMountains that we traveled over on that journey was a wild barrenwaste and we never imagined it would be inhabited by anything but wildIndians Buffalo and CoyotesWe traveled up the Neosha river to its source and I remember oneincident in particular We were getting ready to camp for the nightwhen Carson saw a band of Indians coming directly towards us They weremounted on horses and were riding very slowly and had their horsespacked with Buffalo meatWith the exception of Carson we were all scared thinking the Indianswere coming to take our scalps As they came nearer our camp Carsonsaid Boys we are going to have a feastOn the way out Carson had taught me to call him Uncle Kit So I saidUncle Kit are you going to kill an Indian and cook him for supperHe laughed and answered No Willie not quite as bad as that BesidesI dont think we are hungry enough to eat an Indian if we had onecooked by a French cook but what will be better to my taste at leastthe Indians are bringing us some Buffalo meat for our supper and sureenough they proved to be friendlyThey were a portion of the Caw tribe which was friendly with the whitesat that time They had been on a hunt and had been successful ingetting all the game they wanted When they rode up to our camp theysurrounded Carson every one of them trying to shake his hand first Notbeing acquainted with the ways of the Indians the rest of us did notunderstand what this meant and we got our guns with the intention ofprotecting him from danger but seeing what we were about to do Carsonsang out to us Hold on boys These are our friends and as soon asthey were done shaking hands with him Carson said something to them in alanguage I did not understand and they came and offered their hands toshake with us The boys and myself with the rest stood and gazed at theperformance in amazement not knowing what to do or say These were thefirst wild Indians we boys had ever seen As soon as the hand shakingwas over Carson asked me to give him my knife which I carried in mybelt He had given the knife to me when we left St Louis I presumeCarson had a hundred just such knives as this one was in his pack buthe could not take the time then to get one out For my knife he traded ayearling Buffalo and there was meat	1

cottonwoods out over the sageJane Withersteen gazed down the wide purple slope with dreamy andtroubled eyes A rider had just left her and it was his message thatheld her thoughtful and almost sad awaiting the churchmen who werecoming to resent and attack her right to befriend a GentileShe wondered if the unrest and strife that had lately come to thelittle village of Cottonwoods was to involve her And then she sighedremembering that her father had founded this remotest border settlementof southern Utah and that he had left it to her She owned all theground and many of the cottages Withersteen House was hers and thegreat ranch with its thousands of cattle and the swiftest horses ofthe sage To her belonged Amber Spring the water which gave verdureand beauty to the village and made living possible on that wild purpleupland waste She could not escape being involved by whatever befellCottonwoodsThat year 1871 had marked a change which had been gradually comingin the lives of the peaceloving Mormons of the border GlazeStoneBridgeSterling villages to the north had risen against theinvasion of Gentile settlers and the forays of rustlers There had beenopposition to the one and fighting with the other And now Cottonwoodshad begun to wake and bestir itself and grown hardJane prayed that the tranquillity and sweetness of her life would not bepermanently disrupted She meant to do so much more for her people thanshe had done She wanted the sleepy quiet pastoral days to last alwaysTrouble between the Mormons and the Gentiles of the community wouldmake her unhappy She was Mormonborn and she was a friend to poorand unfortunate Gentiles She wished only to go on doing good and beinghappy And she thought of what that great ranch meant to her She lovedit allthe grove of cottonwoods the old stone house the ambertintedwater and the droves of shaggy dusty horses and mustangs the sleekcleanlimbed blooded racers and the browsing herds of cattle and thelean sunbrowned riders of the sageWhile she waited there she forgot the prospect of untoward change Thebray of a lazy burro broke the afternoon quiet and it was comfortinglysuggestive of the drowsy farmyard and the open corrals and the greenalfalfa fields Her clear sight intensified the purple sageslope as itrolled before her Low swells of prairielike ground sloped up tothe west Dark lonely cedartrees few and far between stood outstrikingly and at long distances ruins of red rocks Farther on up thegradual slope rose a broken wall a huge monument looming dark purpleand stretching its solitary mystic way a wavering line that fadedin the north Here to the westward was the light and color and beautyNorthward the slope descended to a dim line of canyons from which rosean upHinging of the earth not mountainous but a vast heave of purpleuplands with ribbed and fanshaped walls castlecrowned cliffs andgray escarpments Over it all crept the lengthening waning afternoonshadowsThe rapid beat of hoofs recalled Jane Withersteen to the question athand A group of riders cantered up the lane dismounted and threwtheir bridles They were seven in number and Tull the leader a talldark man was an elder of Janes churchDid you get my message he asked curtlyYes replied JaneI sent word Id give that rider Venters half an hour to come down tothe village He didnt comeHe knows nothing of it said Jane I didnt tell him Ive beenwaiting here for youWhere is VentersI left him in the courtyardHere Jerry called Tull turning to his men take the gang and fetchVenters out here if you have to rope himThe dustybooted and longspurred riders clanked noisily into the groveof cottonwoods and disappeared in the shadeElder Tull what do you mean by this demanded Jane If you mustarrest Venters you might have the courtesy to wait till he leaves myhome And if you do arrest him it will be adding insult to injury Itsabsurd to accuse Venters of being mixed up in that shooting fray in thevillage last night He was with me at the time Besides he let me takecharge of his guns Youre only using this as a pretext What do youmean to do to VentersIll tell you presently replied Tull But first tell me why youdefend this worthless riderWorthless exclaimed Jane indignantly Hes nothing of the kindHe was the best rider I ever had Theres not a reason why I shouldntchampion him and every reason why I should Its no little shame to meElder Tull that through my friendship he has roused the enmity of mypeople and become an outcast Besides I owe him eternal gratitude forsaving the life of little FayIve heard of your love for Fay Larkin and that you intend to adopther ButJane Withersteen the child is a GentileYes But Elder I dont love the Mormon children any less because Ilove a Gentile child I shall adopt Fay if her mother will give her tomeIm not so much against that You can give the child Mormon teachingsaid Tull But Im sick of seeing this fellow Venters hang around youIm going to put a stop to it Youve so much love to throw away onthese beggars of Gentiles that Ive an idea you might love VentersTull spoke with the arrogance of a Mormon whose power could not bebrooked and with the passion of a man in whom jealousy had kindled aconsuming fireMaybe I do love him said Jane She felt both fear and anger stir herheart Id never thought of that Poor fellow he certainly needs someone to love himThisll be a bad

seq_Illustration GEORGE HENRY BOKERGEORGE HENRY BOKER18231890The name of George Henry Boker suggests a coterie of friendshipsagroup of men pledged to the pursuit of letters and worshippers at theshrine of poetry These men in the pages of whose published lettersand impressions are embedded many pleasing aspects of Bokerstemperament and character were Bayard Taylor Richard Henry Stoddardand Charles Godfrey Leland the latter known familiarly in Americanliterature as Hans Breitmann These four in different periods oftheir lives might have been called the inseparablesso closely didthey watch each others development so intently did they await eachothers literary output and write poetry to each other and meetat Bokers now and again for golden talks on Sundays Poetry wasa passion with them and even when twoBoker and Taylorwere sentabroad on diplomatic missions they could never have been said todesert the Musetheir literary activity was merely arrested One ofthe fourStoddardoften felt in the presence of Boker a certainreticence due to lack of educational advantages but in the face ofBokers graciousnessa quality which comes with culture in its truestsensehe soon found himself writing Boker on matters of style onqualities of English diction and on the status of American lettersastock topic of conversation those daysBoker was a Philadelphian born there on October 6 1823the sonof Charles S Boker a wealthy banker whose financial expertnessweathered the Girard National Bank through the panic years of 183840and whose honour impugned after his death in 1857 was defendedmany years later by his son in The Book of the Dead reflective ofTennysons In Memoriam and marked by a triteness of phrasewhich was always Bokers chief limitation both as a poet and as adramatistHe was brought up in an atmosphere of ease and refinement receivinghis preparatory education in private schools and entering Princetonin 1840 On the testimony of Leland who being related to Boker wasthrown with him in their early years and who avows that he alwaysshowed a love for the theatre we learn that the young college studentbore that same distinction of manner which had marked him as a childand was to cling to him as a diplomat Together as boys thesetwo would read their Percys Reliques Don Quixote Byron andScottand while they were both in Princeton Bokers room possessedthe only carpet in the dormitory and his walls boasted shelves of thehandsomest books in college As a mere schoolboy wrote Leland Bokers knowledge of poetry was remarkable I can remember that he even at nine years of age manifested that wonderful gift that caused him many years after to be characterized by some great actorI think it was Forrestas the best reader in America While at college Shakespeare and Byron were his favourites He used to quiz me sometimes for my predilections for Wordsworth and Coleridge We both loved Shelly passionatelyIn fact Leland claims that Boker was given to ridicule the Lakershad he studied them instead he would have added to his own poetry anaturalness of expression which it lackedHe was quite the poet of Princeton in his day quite the gentlemanBohemian He was writes Leland quite familiar in a refined andgentlemanly way with all the dissipations of Philadelphia and NewYork His easy circumstances made it possible for him to balance hisascetic taste for scholarship with riding horseback To which almostperfect attainment he added the skilled ability to box fence anddance He graduated from Princeton in 1842 and the description of himleft to us by Leland reveals a young man of nineteen six feet tallwhose sculptured bust made at this time was not as much like him asthe ordinary busts of Lord Byron In later years he was said to bearstriking resemblance to Hawthorne His marriage to Miss Julia Riggsof Maryland followed shortly after his graduation in fact while hewas studying law a profession which was to serve him in good steadduring his diplomatic years but which he threw over for the strongerpull of poetry whose Muse he could court without the necessity ofdriving it hard for support Yet he was concerned about literatureas a paying profession for others On April 26 1851 he wrote toStoddard Alas alas Dick is it not sad that an American authorcannot live by magazine writing And this is wholly owing to thewant of our international copyright law Of course it is little to mewhether magazine writers get paid or not but it is so much to youand to a thousand others The time until 1847 was spent in foreigntravel but it is interesting to note as indication of no

thebook but just as I had finished it for publication the sad news of theassassination of the Shah NasredDin was received I then saw that mybook to be complete should touch on the present situation in Persiaand accordingly I added two chapters which deal with the new Shah andhis brothers and the Sadr Azem and the successionThe illustrations are from photographs by M Sevragine of Tehran withthe

School ofEconomics and Political Science University of London Clare MarketWC at 5 pm on Monday July 18th 1904 the Rt Hon CHARLES BOOTHFRS in the ChairINTRODUCTIONThis department of sociological studies should evidently be as far aspossible concrete in treatment If it is to appeal to practical men andcivic workers it is important that the methods advocated for thesystematic study of cities and as underlying fruitful action be notmerely the product of the study but rather be those which may beacquired in course of local observation and practical effort My problemis thus to outline such general ideas as may naturally crystallise fromthe experience of any moderatelytravelled observer of varied interestsso that his observation of city after city now panoramic andimpressionist again detailed should gradually develop towards anorderly Regional Survey This point of view has next to be correlatedwith the corresponding practical experience that which may be acquiredthrough some varied experiences of citizenship and thence rise toward alarger and more orderly conception of civic actionas Regional ServiceIn a word then Applied Sociology in general or Page 104 Civics asone of its main departments may be defined as the application of SocialSurvey to Social ServiceIn this complex field of study as in simpler preliminary ones oureveryday experiences and commonsense interpretations gradually becomemore systematic that is begin to assume a scientific character whileour activities in becoming more orderly and comprehensive similarlyapproximate towards art Thus there is emerging more and more clearlyfor sociological studies in general for their concrete fields ofapplication in city after city the conception of a scientific centre ofobservation and record on the one hand and of a corresponding centre ofexperimental endeavour on the otherin short of SociologicalObservatory and Sociological Laboratory and of these as increasinglycoordinated Indeed is not such association of observations andexperiments are not such institutions actually incipient here andelsewhere I need not multiply instances of the correlation of scienceand art as of chemistry with agriculture or biology with medicineYet on the strictly sociological plane and in civic application theyare as yet less generally evident though such obvious connections asthat of vital statistics with hygienic administration that ofcommercial statistics with politics are becoming recognised by all Inthe paper with which this Societys work lately opened the intimateconnection between a scientific demography and a practical eugenics hasbeen clearly set forth But this study of the community in the aggregatefinds its natural parallel and complement in the study of the communityas an integrate with material and immaterial structures and functionswhich we call the City Correspondingly the improvement of theindividuals of the community which is the aim of eugenics involves acorresponding civic progress Using for the moment at least a parallelnomenclature we see that the sociologist is concerned not only withdemography but with politography and that eugenics is inseparablefrom politogenics For the struggle for existence though observedmainly from the side of its individuals by the demographer is not onlyan intracivic but an intercivic process and if so ameliorativeselection now clearly sought for the individuals in detail as eugenicsis inseparable from a corresponding civic arta literalEupolitogenicsATHE GEOGRAPHIC SURVEY OF CITIESComing to concrete Civic Survey where shall we begin Not only invariety and magnitude of civic activities but thanks especially to thework of Mr Charles Booth and his collaborators in actual social surveyalso London may naturally claim preeminence Yet even at best doesnot this vastest of world cities remain a less or more foggy labyrinthfrom which surrounding Page 105 regions with their smaller cities canbe but dimly descried even with the best intentions of avoiding thecheap generalisation of the provinces For our more general andcomparative study then simpler beginnings are preferable Moresuitable therefore to our fundamental thesisthat no less definitethan the study of races and usages or languages is that of thegroupings of menis the clearer outlook the more panoramic view of adefinite geographic region such for instance as lies beneath us upona mountain holiday Beneath vast hunting desolations lie the pastoralhillsides below these again scattered arable crofts and sparsely dottedhamlets lead us to the small upland village of the main glen from thisagain one descends to the large and prosperous village of the foothillsand its railway terminus where lowland and highland meet East or westeach mountain valley has its analogous terminal and initial villageupon its fertile fanshaped slope and with its corresponding minormarket while central to the broad agricultural strath with its slowmeandering river stands the prosperous market town the road andrailway junction upon which all the various glenvillages converge Adays march further down and at the convergence of several suchvalleys stands the larger countytownin the region before me as Iwrite one of added importance since not only well nigh central toScotland but as the tidal limit of a till lately navigable riverFinally at the mouth of its estuary rises the smoke of a greatmanufacturing city a central worldmarket in its way Such a riversystem is as geographer after geographer has pointed out the essentialunit for the student of cities and civilisations Hence this simplegeographical method of treatment must here be pled for as fundamental toany really orderly and comparative treatment of our subject Bydescending from source to sea we follow the development of civilisationfrom its simple origins to its complex resultants nor can any elementof this be omitted Were we to begin with the peasant hamlet as ourinitial unit and forget the hinterlands of pasture forest and chasean error to which the writer on cities is naturally prone theanthropologist would soon remind us that in forgetting the hunter wehad omitted the essential germ of active militarism and hence verylargely of aristocratic rule Similarly Page 106 in ignoring thepastoral life we should be losing sight of a main fount of spiritualpower and this not only as regards the historic religions but alllater culture elements also from the poetic to the educational Inshort then it takes the whole region to make the city As the rivercarries down contributions from its whole	38

ravine rangthe strange but not unmusical call It awoke the slumbering echoes ofthe still place and a hundred voices seemed to take up the cry andpass it on as from mouth to mouth But the boys quick ears were not tobe deceived by the mocking voices of the spirits of solitude andpresently the call rang out again with greater clearness than beforeLahahooThe boy stood with his head thrown back his fair curls floating in themountain breeze his blue eyes clear and bright and keen as those of awild eaglet fixed upon a craggy ridge on the opposite side of thegorge whilst his left hand was placed upon the collar of a hugewolfhound who stood beside him sniffing the wind and showing by everytremulous movement his longing to be off and away were it not for thedetaining hand of his young masterThe lad was very simply dressed in a tunic of soft welldressedleather upon the breast of which was stamped some device which mighthave been the badge of his house His active limbs were encased in thesame strong yielding material and the only thing about him whichseemed to indicate rank or birth was a belt with a richlychased goldclasp and a poniard with a jewelled hiltPerhaps the noble bearing of the boy was his best proof of right to thenoble name he bore One of the last of the royal house of Dynevor helooked every inch a prince as he stood bareheaded in the sunlightamidst the everlasting hills of his wellloved home too young to seethe clouds which were settling so darkly and so surely upon the brighthorizon of his life his dreams still of glory and triumphculminating in the complete emancipation of his wellloved country fromthe hated English yokeThe dog strained and whined against the detaining clasp upon his neckbut the boy held him fastNay Gelert we are not going ahunting he said Hark is not thatthe sound of a horn Are they not even now returning Over yon fell theycome Let me but hear their hail and thou and I will be off to meetthem I would they heard the news first from my lips My mother bid mewarn them I wot she fears what Llewelyn and Howel might say or do werethey to find English guests in our hall and they all unwarnedOnce more the boy raised his voice in the wild call which had awakenedthe echoes before and this time his practised ear distinguished amongstthe multitudinous replies an answering shout from human lips ReleasingGelert who dashed forward with a bay of delight the lad commencedspringing from rock to rock up the narrowing gorge until he reached aspot where the dwindling stream could be crossed by a bound from whichspot a wild path more like a goat track than one intended for the footof man led upwards towards the higher portions of the wild fellThe boy sped onwards with the fleetness and agility of a bornmountaineer The hound bounded at his side and before either hadtraversed the path far voices ahead of them became distinctly audibleand a little group might be seen approaching laden with the spoils ofthe chaseIn the van of the little party were three lads one of whom bore sostriking a resemblance to the youth who now hastened to meet them thatthe relationship could not be for a moment doubted As a matter of factthe four were brothers but they followed two distinct types Wendotand Griffeth being fair and bright haired whilst Llewelyn and Howelwho were twins were dark as night with black hair and brows swarthyskins and something of the wildness of aspect which often accompaniessuch traitsWendot the eldest of the four a wellgrown youth of fifteen who waswalking slightly in advance of his brothers greeted Griffeths approachwith a bright smileHa lad thou shouldst have been with us We have had rare sport todayThe good fellows behind can scarce carry the booty home Thou must seethe noble stag that my bolt brought down We will have his head to adornthe hall his antlers are worth looking at I warrant thee But whatbrings thee out so far from home and why didst thou hail us as if wewere wantedYou are wanted answered Griffeth speaking so that all the brothersmight hear his words The mother herself bid me go in search of youand it is well you come home laden with meat for we shall need to makemerry tonight There are guests come to the castle today Wenwynwyn wasstringing his harp even as I came away to let them hear his skill inmusic They are to be lodged for so long as they will stay but themanner of their errand I know notGuests echoed all three brothers in a breath and very eagerly whythat is good hearing for perchance we may now learn some news Comethese strangers from the north Perchance we shall hear somewhat of ournoble Prince Llewelyn who is standing out so boldly for the rights ofour nation Say they not that the English tyrant is on our borders nowsummoning him to pay the homage he repudiates with scorn Oh I wouldthat this were a message summoning all true Welshmen to take up arms inhis quarrel Would not I fly to his standard boy though I be And wouldI not shed the last drop of my blood in the glorious cause of libertyLlewelyn was the speaker and his black eyes were glowing fiercely undertheir straight bushy brows His face was the least boyish of any of thefour and his

declarebefore they spring forth I tell you of them Isa 429Surely the Lord God will do nothing but he revealeth his secret untohis servants the prophets Amos 37PREFACEThe subject of prophecy should be of interest to every Bible studentIts importance can not be overestimated By it we are enabled toascertain our true position in this timeworld From the early dawn ofcreation Inspiration has foretold with certainty the great factsconnected with the history of Gods chosen people By this means alonethe divinity of Jesus Christ and the truth of our holy religion has beenestablished in many minds for it is not in the power of mortals thus tovaticinate future events With such surprising accuracy have thesepredictions been fulfilled that even infidels ofttimes bear witness totheir truthfulness Behold the former things are come to pass and newthings do I declare before they spring forth I tell you of them Isa429 For I am God and there is none else I am God and there is nonelike me declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient timesthe things that are not yet done Isa 469 10The Revelation is a rich mine of prophetic truth The history of thecurrent dispensation is there delineated in advance so perfectly that wecan not but attribute its authorship to Him who knoweth the end from thebeginning and worketh all things after the counsel of his own will Itwas written for the special benefit of the people of God and we shouldgive it prayerful considerationIn the preparation for this work I have gleaned historical informationfrom all the general and ecclesiastical histories encyclopedias etcwithin my reach and only regret that I had not access to a stillgreater number However knowing that large books are seldom read Idetermined in advance not to write an extensive work but to condensethe subject matter as much as possible and therefore I have beenobliged to omit much valuable material previously gathered For thisreason many lines of prophetic truth penned by others of the sacredwriters have been passed over in silence even though relating to thesame events as certain symbolic visions in the RevelationI have availed myself of all the helps and the commentaries within myreach in the study of this important subject However I have but seldomreferred to the opinions of expositors In most cases their explanationsare not based upon any established rule of interpretation and thedefinite laws of symbolic language are usually overlooked ordisregarded Ordinary readers of the Revelation have always supposedthat the only course for them was to take the opinion of some learnedexpositor and to believe on _his authority_ and when they have foundthat equally learned and judicious men sustained the most oppositeviews they have been bewildered amid conflicting opinions and havedecided that when such men were at issue it was useless for them toinvestigate While therefore I have made every available use of theiropinions it was only for the purpose of forming my own and of enablingmyself so to unfold the nature of the symbols that every one might seefor himself the propriety of the interpretation givenThe present knowledge that has been attained of this prophetic book islargely the result of the combined efforts of all who have labored tounfold its meaning No one has had the honor of first understanding allits parts and very few have failed to contribute something more orless to its true interpretation Therefore I have endeavored as much aspossible to gather up the good from the labors of my predecessors and tocombine it with the results of my own study and research The Expositionof Mr Lord has had an important bearing on this work For manybeautiful thoughts concerning the nature and the use of symbols in thechapter on the nature of symbolic language I must acknowledge specialindebtedness to the Lectures of Thomas Wickes on the Apocalypsedelivered many years ago although I have ofttimes arrived at quitedifferent conclusions in their interpretation throughout the RevelationMuch appreciated assistance has been derived from the works of othercommentators as wellThere is considerable disagreement among historians themselves regardingcertain historical points but their differences are of minor importanceso far as the present work is concerned When such points were involvedI have simply endeavored to follow the best authorities Lengthy orimportant quotations from other writers have been duly credited wherethey appear hence no special mention is necessary in this place Minorextracts are merely enclosed within quotationmarksThe Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire 6 Vols Philadelphia 1872is the edition of Gibbons Rome from which quotations are madeTo assist in simplifying the subject and in placing it before the readerin a concise comprehensive manner a number of useful diagrams havebeen added for they serve about the same purpose in the study of asubject so complicated as do maps in the study of geography I wouldespecially call attention to the large Diagram of the Revelationwhere the various lines of prophetic truth are outlined in parallelseries enabling the reader to comprehend at once where the symbolicnarrative returns to take up a new line of thought covering the sameperiod of time In these diagrams however no attempt has been made toset forth every phase of thought connected	39

consist Why does she stand outamong the cities of the world as one of those most deserving a visitIt can hardly be said to be for the beauty of her naturalsurroundings In spite of the charm of her Rivers twain of gentle foot that pass Through the rich meadowland of long green grassin spite of her trees and gardens which attract a visitorespecially one from the more barren north Oxford must yield the palmof natural beauty to many English towns not to mention those moreremoteBut she has every other claim and first perhaps may be mentionedthat of historic interestAn Englishman who knows anything of history is not likely to forgetof how many striking events in the development of his country Oxfordhas been the scene The element of romance is furnished early in herstory by the daring escape of the EmpressQueen Matilda from OxfordCastle The Provisions of Oxford 1258 were the work of one of themost famous Parliaments of the thirteenth century the century whichsaw the building of the English constitution and the students of theUniversity fought for the cause which those Provisions representedThe burning of the martyr bishops in the sixteenth century is one ofthe greatest tragedies

OF AGRICULTURESYRACUSENATIONAL POULTRY MAGAZINE1911COPYRIGHT 1911BYNATIONAL POULTRY PUBLISHING COMPANYWHY THIS BOOK WAS WRITTENTwentyfive years ago there were in print hundreds of completetreatises on human diseases and the practice of medicineNotwithstanding the size of the bookshelves or the high standing ofthe authorities one might have read the entire medical library ofthat day and still have remained in ignorance of the fact thatoutdoor life is a better cure for consumption than the contents ofa drug store The medical professor of 1885 may have goneprematurely to his grave because of ignorance of facts which aretoday the property of every intelligent manThere are today on the bookshelves of agricultural colleges andpublic libraries scores of complete works on Poultry and hundredsof minor writings on various phases of the industry Let thewouldbe poultryman master this entire collection of literature andhe is still in ignorance of facts and principles a knowledge ofwhich in better developed industries would be considered primenecessities for carrying on the businessAs a concrete illustration of the above statement I want to pointto a young man intelligent enterprising industrious and agraduate of the best known agricultural college poultry course inthe country This lad invested some 18000 of his own and hisfriends money in a poultry plant The plant was built and thebusiness conducted in accordance with the plans and principles ofthe recognized poultry authorities Today the young man is bravelyfacing the proposition of working on a salary in another businessto pay back the debts of honor resulting from his attempt to applyin practice the teaching of our agricultural colleges and ourpoultry bookshelvesThe experience just related did not prove disastrous from somesingle item of ignorance or oversight the difficulty was that thecost of growing and marketing the product amounted to more than thereceipts from its sale This poultry farm like the surgeonsoperation was successful but the patient diedThe writers belief in the reality of the situation as aboveportrayed warrants him in publishing the present volume Whether hiscriticism of poultry literature is founded on fact or fancy mayfive years after the copyright date of this book be told by anyunbiased observerI have written this book for the purpose of assisting in placing thepoultry business on a sound scientific and economic basis The bookdoes not pretend to be a complete encyclopedia of informationconcerning poultry but treats only of those phases of poultryproduction and marketing upon which the financial success of thebusiness dependsThe reader who is looking for information concerning fancy breedspoultry shows patent processes patent foods or patent methodswill be disappointed for the object of this book is to help thepoultryman to make money not to spend itHOW TO READ THIS BOOKUnless the reader has picked up this volume out of idle curiosityhe will be one of the following individuals1 A farmer or wouldbe farmer who is interested in poultryproduction as a portion of the work of general farming2 A poultryman or wouldbe poultryman who wishes to make abusiness of producing poultry or eggs for sale as a food product oras breeding stock3 A person interested in poultry as a diversion and who enjoyslosing a dollar on his chickens almost as well as earning one4 A man interested in poultry in the capacity of an editor teacheror some one engaged as a manufacturer or dealer in merchandise thesale of which is dependent upon the welfare of the poultry industryTo the reader of the fourth class I have no suggestions to make savesuch as he will find in the suggestions made to othersTo the reader of the third class I wish to say that if you are ashoe salesman who has spent your evenings in a Brooklyn flatdrawing up plans for a poultry plant I have only to apologize forany interference that this book may cause with your highlyfascinating amusementTo the poultryman already in the business or to the man who isplanning to engage in the business for reasons equivalent to thosewhich would justify his entering other occupations of thesemitechnical class such as dairying fruit growing or themanufacture of washing machines I wish to say it is for you thatThe Dollar Hen is primarily writtenThis book does not assume you to be a graduate of a technicalschool but it does bring up discussions and use methods ofillustration that may be unfamiliar to many readers That suchmatter is introduced is because the subject requires it and if itis confusing to the student he will do better to master it than tododge it Especially would I call your attention to the diagramsused in illustrating various statistics Such diagrams aretechnically called curves They may at first seem mere crookedlines if so I suggest that you get a series of figures in which youare interested such as the daily egg yields of your own flock oryour monthly food bills and plot a few curves of your own Afteryou catch on you will be surprised at the greater ease with whichthe true meaning of a series of figures can be recognized when thisgraphic method is usedI wish to call the farmers attention to the fact that poultrykeeping as an adjunct to general farming especially to generalfarming in the Mississippi Valley is quite a different propositionfrom poultry production as a regular business Poultry keeping as apart of farm life and farm enterprise is a thing well worth while inany section of the United States whereas poultry keeping aseparate occupation requires special location and specialconditions to make it profitable I would suggest the farmer firstread Chapter XVI which is devoted to his special conditions Laterhe may read the remainder of the book but should again consult thepart on farm poultry production before attempting to apply the morecomplicated methods to his own needsChapter XVI while written primarily for the farmer is because ofthe simplicity of its	40

GRATACAPBRENTANOS1903PARISCHICAGOWASHINGTONNEW YORKPREFACE BY EDITORThe extraordinary character of the story here published which somepeculiar circumstances have fortunately I think put into my handswill excite a curiosity as vivid as the incidents of the narratives arethemselves astonishing and unprecedented To satisfy as far as I can afew natural inquiries which must be elicited by its publication I begto explain how this unusual posthumous paper came into my possessionIt was written by Bradford Torrey Dodd who died at Christ Church NewZealand January 1895 after a lingering illness in which consumptiondeveloped which was attributed to the exposure he had experienced inreceiving some of the wireless messages his singular history details Iwas not acquainted with Mr Dodd but some information acquired sincethe reception of his manuscript has completely satisfied me thathowever interpreted Mr Dodd did not intend in it the perpetration ofa hoax His scientific ability was undoubtedly remarkable and the factsthat his father and himself worked in an astronomical station nearChrist Church that his father died that his acquaintance with theDodans was a reality that he did receive messages at a wirelesstelegraphic station that he himself and his assistants fully accreditedthese messages to extraterrestrial sources are beyond a doubt easilyverifiedA mutual friend brought me Mr Dodds papers which I looked over withincreasing amazement culminating in blank incredulity On rereadingthem and considering the usefulness of giving them to the public I havebeen influenced by two motives the desire to satisfy the ferventlyexpressed wish of the writer himself and the reasonable belief that ifthey are preposterously improbable their publication can only furnish anew and temporary and quite harmless diversion and that if Mr Doddsexperiment shall be in some future day successfully repeated his claimsto distinction as the first to open this marvelous field ofinvestigation will have been honorably and invincibly protectedLP GRATACAPCONTENTSPosthumous Papers of Bradford Torrey DoddNote by Mr August Bixby DodanNote by the EditorThe Planet MarsBy Giovanni SchiaparelliPOSTHUMOUS PAPERSOFBRADFORD TORREY DODDTHE CERTAINTYOFA FUTURE LIFE IN MARSCHAPTER IIn the confusion of thought about a future life the peculiar factsrelated in the following pages can certainly be regarded as helpfulSpiritualism with its morbid tendencies its infatuation and deceithas not been of any substantial value in this inquiry It may afford tothose who have experienced any positive visitation from another world avery comforting and indisputable proof To most sane people it is ahumiliating and ludicrous vagaryAt the conclusion of a life spent rather diligently in study and inassociation especially with astronomical practice and physicalexperiments I have in view of certain hitherto unpublished factsdecided to make public almost incontrovertible evidence that in theplanet Mars the continuation of our present life in some instances hasbeen discovered by myself I will not dwell on the astonishment I havefelt over these discoveries nor attempt to describe that felicity ofconviction which I now enjoy over the prospect of a life in anotherworldMy father was the fortunate possessor of a large fortune which freedhim of all anxieties about any material cares and left him to pursuethe bent of his inclination He became greatly interested in physicalscience and was also a patron of the liberal arts His home was storedwith the most beautiful products of the manufacturers skill in fictilearts and on its walls hung the most approved examples of the paintersskill The looms of Holland and France and England furnished him withtheir delicate and sumptuous tapestries and the Orient covered hisfloors with the richest and most prized carpets of Daghestan andTrebizond and of BokharaBut even more marked than his love for art was his passion for physicalscience His opportunities for the indulgence of this taste wereunlimited and the reinforcement of his natural aptitude by his greatmeans enabled him to carry on experiments upon a scale of the mostmagnificent proportions These experiments were made in a largebuilding which was especially built for this object It contained everyfacility for his various new designs and in it he anticipated manyadvances in electrical science and in mechanical devices which havemade the civilization of our day so remarkable I recall distinctly as aboy his ingenious approximation to the telephone and even the recentadvances in wireless telegraphy which has been the instrumentality bywhich my own researches in the field of interplanetary telegraphy havebeen prosecuted had been realized by himselfIt was in the midst of a life almost ideally happy that the blow fellwhich drove him and myself then a boy and his only child into aretirement which resulted in the discoveries I am about to relate Myfathers devotion to my mother was an illustration of the most beautifuland tender love that a man can bear toward a woman It was adorationThough his mind was employed upon the abstruse questions of physicswhich he investigated or edified by new acquisitions in art all hisknowledge and all his pleasure seemed but the means by which heendeavored to gain her deeper affection She indeed became his companionin science and her own just and well regulated taste constantlyfurnished him new motives for adding to his wide accumulations of artI can recall with some difficulty the day when with my father in a roomimmediately below the bedroom in which my mother was confined he awaitedthe summons of the doctors to see his wife for the last time It was arainy day the clouds were drifting across a dull November sky Throughan opening in the trees then leafless the Hudson was visible even thenflaked with ice while an early snow covered the sloping lawn andwhitened the broadlimbed oaks I remember indistinctly his leading meby the hand through the hallway up the stairs and softly whispering tome to be quite still entered the large room dimly lit where my motherattended by a nurse and a doctor lay on the white bed I remember beingkissed by her and then being led from the room by the nurse My fatherdoubtless lingered until all was over and the dear associate of hislife whose tenderness and charity had made all who	41

silmänräpäyksen ajan tyrmistyneenä Sitten äkkiä singahtikuin poukka Esterin eteen ja tämä samassa oli lattialla pitkälläänJaakko ehti äiti tuskin siihen sanoa kun jo Esterin laatikkopiirongista oli lattialla ja tavarat huiskin haiskin ympäri huonettaniin että seinillä ripisi Sen tehtyään hän yritti kamariin missäEsterin joululahjat olivat pienessä vasussa sirottaakseen nekin Muttaäidin ohi

liikutellessa ryskäisi ja jymähtelisi Hänellätuntui olevan voimaa ja halua kaataa pöytä ja vaikka koko tuo piironkituolla Hän viskasi muutaman tuolin kumoonja siihen halu raukesi Hänsyöksyi ulos ja

tuskittelee jajoilla kesällä matonkuteita leikatessaan sai niin pahan rakonpeukalohankaseen että koko käsi turposi ja lääkärin piti leikata kättäMitä sanoisivat äiti ja Esteri ja Eeva jos äidin käsi nytkinkipeytyisi Eiköhän tulisi hätä niinkuin kesälläkinMutta Jaakolle itselleen tuli samallainen hätä kuin kesällä jolloin hähalkoi kerätä rahoja ostaakseen uudet saksetHän meni sisään Joulukuusi oli pystyssä ja tuoli oli paikoillaan Eiollut muita kuin Esteri huoneessa Hän oli koonnut tavaransa eikänäyttänyt olevan tietävinäänkään Jaakosta Vihassa päätti Jaakko hänenolevan Sitten kyökistä Eevakin itkusilmin toisessa kädessä päätönnukke ja toisessa pää Jaakko meni heti Eevaa lepyttämään koettaenselittää miten nuken saattaa korjata Ja hän lupasi Eevalle näyttäälahjansa kutsuen Eevan kamariinEeva unohutti surunsa ja ihastui heti laatikkoon Sakset olivat kauniithänestä vaan varsinkin laatikko Jaakko lupasi Eevalle laatikon sittenkun on äiti saanut saksensa Jaakko näytti ja selitti että hän olipannut kirjekuoren siihen että luultaisiin laatikon ja saksien tulleenpostissa Amerikasta Eevasta se oli erinomaista ja mukavaaKuule Jaakko Ei sanota kenellekään Sanotaan Esterille että eisinulla olekaan sakset vaan muutaEeva sai Jaakon innostumaan Ja kun hän sanoi Esterille niinkuin Eevaoli neuvonut että hänellä ei olekaan sakset vaan muuta jolloin Eevatekeytyi sen näköiseksi että se muu on hyvin erinomaista niin Jaakkoaivan uskoi että Esteri niin luulee varsinkin kun Esteri alkoiEevalta kysellä kun tämä näytti niin hyvillään ja salaperäinen olevanMelkein entisellään oli Jaakon asia ja alkoi taas jännittää Hän eitahtonut malttaa odottaa iltaa ja lahjojen aikaa Heti kun joulukuusioli sytytetty hän meni ulos lahja kainalossa hyvin salaa muttaviskattuaan sen tuli hän heti itse jäljestä uteliaana näkemään jakuulemaanEsteri otti lahjapaketin lattiasta ihastuneena kun oli niin sievälaatikko Hän luki kirjekuoresta Korkeasti kunnioitettava HerraPastori Hieronymus RäyhäEi se ole tänne ehti jo äiti sanoa mutta Eeva väitti että on se Jaselitti että siinä on kannessa oikea kirjoitus äidille muttakirjekuori on vain sitä varten pantu että sakset ovat tulleet postissaAmerikastaEsteri purskahti taas nauramaan ja Jaakko pujahti kamariin pimeimpäänloukkoon Hän häpesi niin että itki Vaikka kuuli äidin ihastelevansaksia niin ei se mieltä parantanut Hän toivoi että Esterisairastuisi ja kuolisiSitä hän mielessään hautoi eikä häntä saatu koko iltana loukosta eihyvällä ei pahalla Tälle maailmalle tietämättömänä nukuksissa hänetsieltä vihdoin kannettiin sänkyynsäMAHTISANAEi ollutkaan

paper cover Stock Number47000204History of the Comstock Patent Medicine Business and of Dr MorsesIndian Root PillsFor nearly a century a conspicuous feature of the small riversidevillage of Morristown in northern New York State was the WHComstock factory better known as the home of the celebrated Dr MorsesIndian Root Pills This business never grew to be more than a modestundertaking in modern industrial terms and amid the congestion of anylarge city its few buildings straddling a branch railroad and its workforce of several dozens at most would have been little noticed but inits rural setting the enterprise occupied a prominent role in theeconomic life of the community for over ninety years Aside from theomnipresent forest and dairy industries it represented the onlymanufacturing activity for miles around and was easily the largestsingle employer in its village as well as the chief recipient andshipper of freight at the adjacent railroad station For some yearsearly in the present century the company supplied a primitive electricservice to the community and the Comstock Hotel until it was destroyedby fire served as the principal village hostelryBut the influence of this business was by no means strictly local Fordecades thousands of boxes of pills and bottles of elixir together withadvertising circulars and almanacs in the millions flowed out of thisremote village to druggists in thousands of communities in the UnitedStates and Canada in Latin America and in the Orient And Dr MorsesIndian Root Pills and the other remedies must have been household nameswherever people suffered aches and infirmities Thus Morristownnotwithstanding its placid appearance played an active role in commerceand industry throughout the colorful patentmedicine eraToday the Indian Root Pill factory stands abandoned and forlornitsdecline and demise brought on by an age of more precise medicaldiagnoses and the more stringent enforcement of various food and drugacts After abandonment the factory was ransacked by vandals andrecords documents wrappers advertising circulars pills awaitingpackaging and other effects were thrown down from the shelves andscattered over the floors This made it impossible to recover andexamine the records systematically The former proprietors of thebusiness however had for some reasonperhaps sheerinertiaapparently preserved all of their records for over a centurystoring them in the loftlike attic over the packaging building Despitetheir careless treatment enough records were recovered to reconstructmost of the history of the Comstock enterprise and to cast new lightupon the patentmedicine industry of the United States during itsheydayThe Comstock business of course was far from unique Hundreds ofmanufacturers of proprietary remedies flourished during the 1880s and1890s the Druggists Directory for 1895 lists approximately 1500 Thegreat majority of these factories were much smaller than Comstock onesuspects in fact that most of them were no more than backroomenterprises conducted by untrained but ambitious druggists who withparttime help mixed up some mysterious concoctions and contrivedimaginative advertising schemes A few of these businesses wereconsiderably larger than ComstockHowever the Comstock company would seem to be typical of the morestrongly established patentmedicine manufacturers and therefore acloser examination of this particular enterprise should also illuminateits entire industryThe Origin of the BusinessThe Indian Root Pill business was carried on during most of itsexistence by two members of the Comstock familyfather and sonandbecause of unusual longevity this control by two generations extendedfor over a century The plant was also located in Morristown forapproximately ninety years The Indian Root Pills however were notactually originated by the Comstock family nor were they discovered inMorristown Rather the business had its genesis in New York City at atime when the city still consisted primarily of twoor threestorybuildings and did not extend beyond the present 42nd StreetAccording to an affidavit written in 1851and much of the history ofthe business is derived from documents prepared in connection withnumerous lawsuitsthe founder of the Comstock drug venture was EdwinComstock sometime in or before 1833 Edwin along with the numerousother brothers who will shortly enter the picture was a son of SamuelComstock of Butternuts Otsego County New York Samuel afifthgeneration descendant of William Comstock one of the pioneersettlers of New London Connecticut and ancestor of most of theComstocks in America was born in East Lyme Connecticut a few yearsbefore the Revolution but sometime after the birth of Edwin in 1794 hemoved to Otsego County New YorkEdwin in 1828 moved to Batavia New York where his son William HenryComstock was born on August 1 1830 Within four or five yearshowever Edwin repaired to New York City where he established theextensive drug and medicine business that was to be carried on bymembers of his family for over a century Just why Edwin performed thisbrief sojourn in Batavia or where he made his initial entry into thedrug trade is not clear although the rapid growth of his firm in NewYork City suggests that he had had previous experience in that field Itis a plausible surmise that he may have worked in Batavia in the drugstore

illustration toembellish but not to clog the main ideasIn the preparation of this book I incurred many debts of gratitude Iwould thank the staff of the Bodleian especially Mr WHB Somersetfor their kindness during the two years I was working in the library ofOxford University and Dr Perlbach Abteilungsdirektor of the KöniglicheBibliothek at Berlin who forwarded to me some helpful informationconcerning the early German books of instructions for travellers andProfessor Clark S Northup of Cornell University for similar aid ToMr George Whale I am indebted for the use of his transcript of SloaneMS 1813 and to my friend Miss ME Marshall of the Board of Tradefor the generous gift of her leisure hours in reading for me in theBritish Museum after the sea had divided me from that treasurehouse ofinformationI would like to acknowledge with thanks the kind advice of Sir WalterRaleigh and Sir Sidney Lee whose generosity in giving time andscholarship many students besides myself are in a position toappreciate Mr L Pearsall Smith from whose work on the _Life andLetters of Sir Henry Wotton_ I have drawn copiously gave me alsocourteous personal assistanceTo the Faculty of the English Department at Columbia University I owethe gratitude of one who has received her earliest inclination toscholarship from their teachings I am under heavy obligations toProfessor AH Thorndike and Professor GP Krapp for their correctionsand suggestions in the proofsheets of this book and to Professor WPTrent for continued help and encouragement throughout my studies atColumbia and elsewhereAbove all I wish to emphasize the aid of Professor CH Firth ofOxford University whose sympathy and comprehension of the difficultiesof a beginner in the field he so nobly commands can be understood onlyby those like myself who come to Oxford aspiring and alone I wishthis essay were a more worthy result of his influenceCLARE HOWARDBARNARD COLLEGE NEW YORK_October_ 1913 INTRODUCTIONAmong the many didactic books which flooded England in the sixteenth andseventeenth centuries were certain essays on travel Some of these havenever been brought to light since their publication more than threehundred years ago or been mentioned by the few writers who haveinterested themselves in the literature of this subject In thecollections of voyages and explorations so often garnered these havefound no place Most of them are very rare and have never beenreprinted Yet they do not deserve to be thus overlooked and in severalways this survey of them will I think be useful for students ofliteratureThey reveal a widespread custom among Elizabethan and Jacobeangentlemen of completing their education by travel There are scatteredallusions to this practice in contemporary social documents Anthony àWood frequently explains how such an Oxonian travelled beyond seas andreturned a compleat Personbut nowhere is this ideal of acosmopolitan education so explicitly set forth as it is in these essaysAddressed to the intending tourist they are in no sense to be confusedwith guidebooks or itineraries They are discussions of the benefits oftravel admonitions and warnings arranged to put the traveller in theproper attitude of mind towards his great task of selfdevelopmentTaken in chronological order they outline for us the life of thetravelling studentBeginning with the end of the sixteenth century when travel became thefashion as the only means of acquiring modern languages and modernhistory as well as those physical accomplishments and social graces bywhich a young man won his way at Court they trace his evolution up tothe time when it had no longer any serious motive that is when thechairs of modern history and modern languages were founded at theEnglish universities and when with the fall of the Stuarts the Courtceased to be the arbiter of mens fortunes In the course of thisevolution they show us many phases of continental influence in Englandhow Italian immorality infected young imaginations how the Jesuits wontravellers to their religion how France became the model of deportmentwhat were the origins of the Grand Tour and so forthThat these directions for travel were not isolated oddities ofliterature but were the expression of a widespread ideal of the Englishgentry I have tried to show in the following study The essays canhardly be appreciated without support from biography and history andfor that reason I have introduced some concrete illustrations of thesort of traveller to whom the books were addressed If I have not alwaysquoted the Instructions fully it is because they repeat one anotheron some points My plan has been to comment on whatever in each book wasnew or showed the evolution of travel for studys sakeThe result I hope will serve to show something of the cosmopolitanismof English society in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries of thecloser contact which held between England and the Continent whileEngland was not yet great and selfsufficient of times when hersoldiers of low and high degree went to seek their fortunes in the LowCountries and her merchants journeyed in person to conduct businesswith Italy when a steady stream of Roman Catholics and exiles forpolitical reasons trooped to France or Flanders for years togetherThese discussions of the art of travel are relics of an age whenEnglishmen next to the Germans were known for the greatest travellersamong all nations In the same boatload with merchants spies exilesand diplomats from England sailed the young gentleman fresh from hisuniversity to complete his education by a look at the most civilizedcountries of the world He approached the Continent with an inquiringopen mind eager	14

something extraordinary and in his opinion never seenbefore was taking place A big thickset redhaired peasantwith a beard and a drop of perspiration on his nose wearing acabmans full coat was sitting at the kitchen table on which theychopped the meat and sliced the onions He was balancing a sauceron the five fingers of his right hand and drinking tea out of itand crunching sugar so loudly that it sent a shiver down Grishasback Aksinya Stepanovna the old nurse was sitting on the dirtystool facing him and she too was drinking tea Her face wasgrave though at the same time it beamed with a kind of triumphPelageya the cook was busy at the stove and was apparently tryingto hide her face And on her face Grisha saw a regular illuminationit was burning and shifting through every shade of colour beginningwith a crimson purple and ending with a deathly white She wascontinually catching hold of knives forks bits of wood and ragswith trembling hands moving grumbling to herself making a clatterbut in reality doing nothing She did not once glance at the tableat which they were drinking tea and to the questions put to herby the nurse she gave jerky sullen answers without turning herfaceHelp yourself Danilo Semyonitch the nurse urged him hospitablyWhy do you keep on with tea and nothing but tea You should havea drop of vodkaAnd nurse put before the visitor a bottle of vodka and a wineglasswhile her face wore a very wily expressionI never touch it No said the cabman decliningDont press me Aksinya StepanovnaWhat a man A cabman and not drink A bachelor cantget on without drinking Help yourselfThe cabman looked askance at the bottle then at nurses wily faceand his own face assumed an expression no less cunning as much asto say You wont catch me you old witchI dont drink please excuse me Such a weakness does not do inour calling A man who works at a trade may drink for he sits athome but we cabmen are always in view of the public Arent weIf one goes into a

sent him to the nursery to learn his lessonsGo and learn your lesson Its not your business to listen hereWhen Grisha reached the nursery he put My Own Book in front ofhim but he did not get on with his reading All that he had justseen and heard aroused a multitude of questions in his mindThe cooks going to be married he thought StrangeI dontunderstand what people get married for Mamma was married to papaCousin Verotchka to Pavel Andreyitch But one might be married topapa and Pavel Andreyitch after all they have gold watchchainsand nice suits their boots are always polished but to marry

agitation still persisted Her face wasred and looked scared She scarcely touched the floor with thebroom and swept every corner five times over She lingered for along time in the room where mamma was sitting She was evidentlyoppressed by her isolation and she was longing to express herselfto share her impressions with some one to open her heartHes gone she muttered seeing that mamma would not

ON VARIOUS SUBJECTSDO READERS READThose who are interested in the proper use of our libraries are askingcontinually What do readers read and the tables of classpercentagesin the annual reports of those institutions show that librarians are atleast making an attempt to satisfy these queries But a question that isstill more fundamental and quite as vital is Do readers read at all Thisis not a paradox but a commonsense question as the following suggestivelittle incident will show The librarianincharge of a crowded branchcirculatinglibrary in New York City had occasion to talk not long agoto one of her star borrowers a youth who had taken out his two goodbooks a week regularly for nearly a year and whom she had looked upon as amodelso much so that she had never thought it necessary to advise withhim regarding his reading In response to a question this lad made answersomewhat as follows Yes maam Im doing pretty well with my reading Ithink I should get on nicely if I could only once manage to read a bookthrough but somehow I cant seem to do it This boy had actually takento his home nearly a hundred books returning each regularly and borrowinganother without reading to the end of a single one of themThat this case is not isolated and abnormal but is typical of the way inwhich a large class of readers treat books there is as we shall seeonly too much reason to believeThe facts are peculiarly hard to get at At first sight there would seemto be no way to find out whether the books that our libraries circulatehave been read through from cover to cover or only half through or notat all To be sure each borrower might be questioned on the subject as hereturned his book but this method would be resented as inquisitorialand after all there would be no certainty that the data so gathered weretrue By counting the stamps on the library bookcard or datingslip wecan tell how many times a book has been borrowed but this gives us noinformation about whether it has or has not been read Fortunately for ourpresent purpose however many works are published in a series of volumeseach of which is charged separately and an examination of the differentslips will tell us whether or not the whole work has been read through byall those who borrowed it If for instance in a twovolume work eachvolume has gone out twenty times twenty borrowers either have read itthrough or have stopped somewhere in the second volume while if the firstvolume is charged twenty times and the second only fourteen it is certainthat six of those who took out the first volume did not get as far as thesecond In works of more than two volumes we can tell with still greateraccuracy at what point the readers interest was insufficient to carry himfurtherSuch an investigation has	37

DocumentsPREFACEIt is with great pleasure that I include in this volumecontemporary Hudson documents which have remained neglected forthree centuries and here are published for the first time As Iexplain more fully elsewhere their discovery is due to thepainstaking research of Mr RG Marsden MA My humble share inthe matter has been to recognize the importance of Mr Marsdensdiscovery and to direct the particular search in the RecordOffice in London that has resulted in their present reproductionI regret that they are inconclusive We still are ignorant of whatpunishment was inflicted upon the mutineers of the Discovery oreven if they were punished at allThe primary importance of these documents however is not thatthey establish the factuntil now not establishedthat themutineers were brought to trial it is that they embody the sworntestimony hitherto unproduced of six members of Hudsons crewconcerning the mutiny Asher the most authoritative of Hudsonsmodern historians wrote Prickett is the only eyewitness thathas left us an account of these events and we can therefore notcorrect his statements whether they be true or false We now havethe accounts of five additional eyewitnesses Prickett himself isone of the six whose testimony has been recovered and all ofthem so far as they go substantially are in accord withPricketts account Such agreement is not proof of truth The newlyadduced witnesses and the earlier single witness equally wereinterested in making out a case in their own favor that would savethem from being hanged But this new evidence does entitlePricketts Larger Discourse to a more respectful considerationthan that dubious document heretofore has received Save in mattersaffected by this fresh material the following narrative is acondensation of what has been recorded by Hudsons authoritativebiographers of whom the more important are Samuel Purchas HesselGerritz Emanuel Van Meteren GM Asher Henry C Murphy JohnRomeyn Brodhead and John Meredith ReadTAJNew York _July_ 16 1909THE ILLUSTRATIONSNo portrait of Hudson is known to be in existence What has passedwith the uncritical for his portraita dapperlooking man wearinga ruffed collarfrequently has been and continues to bereproduced Who that man was is unknown That he was not Hudson iscertainLacking Hudsons portrait I have used for a frontispiece aphotograph especially taken for this purpose of the interior ofthe Church of Saint Ethelburga the sole remaining material linkof which we have sure knowledge between Hudson and ourselves Thedrawing on the cover represents what is very near to being anothermaterial linkthe replica lately built in Holland of the HalfMoon the ship in which Hudson made his most famous voyageThe other illustrations have been selected with a strict regard tothe meaning of that word In order to throw light on the text Ihave preferredto the ventures of fancyreproductions oftitlepages of works on navigation that Hudson probably usedpictures of the few and crude instruments of navigation that hecertainly used and pictures of ships virtually identical withthose in which he sailedThe copy of Wrights famous work on navigation that Hudson may havehad and probably did have with him was of an earlier date thanthat 1610 of which the titlepage here is reproduced Thisreproduction is of interest in that it shows at a glance all of thenautical instruments that Hudson had at his command and of a stillgreater interest in that the map which is a part of it exhibitswhat at that time by exploration or by conjecture was the knownworld To the making of that map Hudson himself contributed on itwith a previously unknown assurance his River clearly is markedThe inadequate indication of his Bay probably is taken fromWeymouths chartthe chart that Hudson had with him on his voyageA curious feature of this map is its markingin defiance of knownfactsof two straits to the north and to the south of a largeisland where should be the Isthmus of PanamaThe one seemingly fanciful picture that of the mermaids is notfancifula point that I have enlarged upon elsewhereby thestandard of Hudsons times Hudson himself believed in theexistence of mermaids as is proved by his matteroffact entry inhis log that a mermaid had been seen by two of his crewA BRIEF LIFE OF HENRY HUDSONHENRY HUDSONIIf ever a compelling Fate set its grip upon a man and drove him toan accomplishment beside his purpose and outside his thought itwas when Henry Hudsonhaving headed his ship upon an orderedcourse northeastwarddirectly traversed his orders by fetchingthat compass to the southwestward which ended by bringing him intowhat now is Hudsons River and which led on quickly to thefounding of what now is New YorkIndeed the late Thomas Aquinas and the later Calvin could havemade out from the few known facts in the life of this navigator sopretty a case in favor of Predestination that the blessed StAugustine and the worthy Arminiussupposing the four come togetherfor a friendly dish of theological talkwould have had their workcut out for them to formulate a countercase in favor of Free WillIt is a curious truth that every important move in Hudsons life ofwhich we have record seems to have been a forced move sometimeswith a look of chance about itas when the directors of the DutchEast India Company called him back and hastily renewed with himtheir suspended agreement that he should search for a passage toCathay on a northeast course past Nova Zembla and so sent him offon the voyage that brought the Half Moon into Hudsons Riversometimes with the fatalism very much in evidenceas when his owngovernment seized him out of the Dutch service and so put him inthe way to go sailing to his death on that voyage

with the Comet stored in the hold of the ship forimmediate use on arrival or taking perilous journeys across the Americancontinent in the faithful car they were making excursions to ShellIsland or Seven League Island or down the coast to the Sailors InnWhere is it to be this time NancyBell Captain Brown had asked hisdaughter when she had broken the news to him that she must give up thespring term at High School for something far more educational than merebooks Perhaps the sea captain had intended to be stern when he askedthat question but Nancy had her own peculiar methods of dispellingsternness A beaming anticipatory smile irradiated her face andscattered parental disapproval even as the warm rays of the sun scatterthe morning mistsJapan she announced solemnly and Captain Brown who himself had madevoyages to Japan in his youth pricked up his ears like an old huntingdog when he hears the call of the pack The name of High School fadedfrom his memory It was the high seas he was thinking ofthe greatdesert of waters the fresh salt breeze and the foam track left by thelittle ship as it cut through the wavesWithout a word he opened an old sea chest and drew out an atlas andchart Nancy blinked her eyes and smiled happily She wondered if theother girls were having as easy a time in breaking the amazing news totheir parents Would Elinor Butlers father and mother consent to hertaking this long journey Would Mrs Price be willing to part with Maryfor many many months while that young person journeyed to the other sideof the world Captain Brown settled himself on a

entitled to a Mark of 100 for Deportment Withhis Meals he drank a little Polly After Dinner he smoked one Perfectoand then when he had put in a frolicsome Hour or so with the NorthAmerican Review he crawled into the Hay at 930 PMAt last he accumulated a Sense of Virtue that was hard to carryaround He was proud of himself when he counted up the number of daysduring which he had stuck to the Straight and Narrow It seemed tohim that he deserved a Reward So he decided to buy himself a littlePresent something costing about 15 cents He picked out a FirstClassPlace where they had Electric Fans and Pictures by the Old Masters Hepoured out a Workingmans Sizethe kind that makes the Barkeep stopwiping up and look unfriendly for a Moment or twoThen he remembered that a Bird cannot fly with one Wing so he gentlyraised the Index Finger and gave the Prescription Clerk a Look whichin the Sign Language means Repeat the DoseIt is an Historical Fact that when a Man falls backward from the WaterWagon he always lands in a Crowd The full Stage Setting the LightEffects and the Red Fire were all ready to make it a SpectacularAffair Just after he had mowed away No 2 and had stopped worryingabout the Winters Coal he began to meet Friends who were dying ofThirst Then the atmosphere began to be curdled with High Balls andPlymouth Sours and Mint Smashes and he was telling a Shoe

communication of an interesting nature willbe made to himMr James Starr will be awaited for the whole day at the Callanderstation by Harry Ford son of the old overman Simon FordHe is requested to keep this invitation secretSuch was the letter which James Starr received by the first post on the3rd December 18 the letter bearing the Aberfoyle postmark county ofStirling ScotlandThe engineers curiosity was excited to the highest pitch It neveroccurred to him to doubt whether this letter might not be a hoax Formany years he had known Simon Ford one of the former foremen of theAberfoyle mines of which he James Starr had for twenty years beenthe manager or as he would be termed in English coalmines theviewer James Starr was a stronglyconstituted man on whom hisfiftyfive years weighed no more heavily than if they had been fortyHe belonged to an old Edinburgh family and was one of its mostdistinguished members His labors did credit to the body of engineerswho are gradually devouring the carboniferous subsoil of the UnitedKingdom as much at Cardiff and Newcastle as in the southern countiesof Scotland However it was more particularly in the depths of themysterious mines of Aberfoyle which border on the Alloa mines andoccupy part of the county of Stirling that the name of Starr hadacquired the greatest renown There the greater part of his existencehad been passed Besides this James Starr belonged to the ScottishAntiquarian Society of which he had been made president He was alsoincluded amongst the most active members of the Royal Institution andthe Edinburgh Review frequently published clever articles signed by himHe was in fact one of those practical men to whom is due the prosperityof England He held a high rank in the old capital of Scotland whichnot only from a physical but also from a moral point of view welldeserves the name of the Northern AthensWe know that the English have given to their vast extent of coalminesa very significant name They very justly call them the Black Indiesand these Indies have contributed perhaps even more than the EasternIndies to swell the surprising wealth of the United KingdomAt this period the limit of time assigned by professional men forthe exhaustion of coalmines was far distant and there was no dreadof scarcity There were still extensive mines to be worked in the twoAmericas The manufactories appropriated to so many different useslocomotives steamers gas works c were not likely to fail for wantof the mineral fuel but the consumption had so increased during thelast few years that certain beds had been exhausted even to theirsmallest veins Now deserted these mines perforated the ground withtheir useless shafts and forsaken galleries This was exactly the casewith the pits of AberfoyleTen years before the last butty had raised the last ton of coal fromthis colliery The underground working stock traction engines truckswhich run on rails along the galleries subterranean tramways frames tosupport the shaft pipesin short all that constituted the machineryof a mine had been brought up from its depths The exhausted mine waslike the body of a huge fantasticallyshaped mastodon from which allthe organs of life have been taken and only the skeleton remainsNothing was left but long wooden ladders down the Yarrow shafttheonly one which now gave access to the lower galleries of the Dochartpit Above ground the sheds formerly sheltering the outside worksstill marked the spot where the shaft of that pit had been sunkit being now abandoned as were the other pits of which the wholeconstituted the mines of AberfoyleIt was a sad day when for the last time the workmen quitted the minein which they had lived for so many years The engineer James Starrhad collected the hundreds of workmen which composed the active andcourageous population of the mine Overmen brakemen putters wastemenbarrowmen masons smiths carpenters outside and inside laborerswomen children and old men all were collected in the great yard ofthe Dochart pit formerly heaped with coal from the mineMany of these families had existed for generations in the mine ofold Aberfoyle they were now driven to seek the means of subsistenceelsewhere and they waited sadly to bid farewell to the engineerJames Starr stood upright at the door of the vast shed in which hehad for so many years superintended the powerful machines of the shaftSimon Ford the foreman of the Dochart pit then fiftyfive years ofage and other managers and overseers surrounded him James Starr tookoff his hat The miners cap in hand kept a profound silence Thisfarewell scene was of a touching character not wanting in grandeurMy friends said the engineer the time has come for us to separateThe Aberfoyle mines which for so many years have united us in acommon work are now exhausted All our researches have not led tothe discovery of a new vein and the last block of coal has just beenextracted from the Dochart pit And in confirmation of his words JamesStarr pointed to a lump of coal which had been kept at the bottom of abasketThis piece of coal my friends resumed James Starr is like the lastdrop of blood which has flowed through the veins of the mine We shallkeep it as the first fragment of coal is kept which was extracteda hundred and fifty years ago from the bearings of Aberfoyle Betweenthese two pieces how many generations of workmen have succeeded eachother in our pits Now it is over The last words which your engineerwill address to you are a farewell You have lived in this mine whichyour hands have emptied The work has been hard but not without profitfor you Our great family must disperse and it is not probable that thefuture will ever	13

scandale dans un certain camp Quoices modèles toujours présents venir les ranger parmi les _anciens_Quinze ans après M Cousin à propos de Pascal posait en principe ausein de lAcadémie quil était temps de traiter les auteurs du sièclede Louis XIV comme des _anciens_ et lAcadémie applaudissaitIl estvrai que dans ce second temps et depuis quon est entré méthodiquementdans cette voie on sest mis à appliquer aux oeuvres du XVIIe siècletous les procédés de la critique comme lentendaient les anciensgrammairiens On sest attaché à fixer le texte de chaque auteur on ena dressé des lexiques Je ne blâme pas ces soins bien loin de là jeles honore et jen profite le moment en était venu sans doute maislopiniâtreté du labeur chez ceux qui sy livrent remplace tropsouvent la vivacité de limpression

plus dun siècle que Boileau est mort de longues et continuellesquerelles se sont élevées à son sujet Tandis que la postéritéacceptait avec des acclamations unanimes la gloire des Corneilledes Molière des Racine des La Fontaine on discutait sans cesse onrevisait avec une singulière rigueur les titres de Boileau au géniepoétique et il na guère tenu à Fontenelle à dAlembert à Helvétiusà Condillac à Marmontel et par instants à Voltaire luimême que cettegrande renommée classique ne fût entamée On sait le motif de presquetoutes les hostilités et les antipathies dalors cest que Boileaunétait pas _sensible_ on invoquait làdessus certaine anecdoteplus que suspecte insérée à _lAnnée littéraire_ et reproduite parHelvétius et comme au dixhuitième siècle le _sentiment_ se mêlait àtout à une description de SaintLambert à un conte de Crébillon filsou à lhistoire philosophique des DeuxIndes les belles dames lesphilosophes et les géomètres avaient pris Boileau en grande aversion2Pourtant malgré leurs épigrammes et leurs demisourires sa renomméelittéraire résista et se consolida de jour en jour Le _Poète du bonsens_ le _législateur de notre Parnasse_ garda son rang suprême Le motde Voltaire _Ne disons pas de mal de Nicolas cela porte malheur_ fitfortune et passa en proverbe les idées positives du XVIIIe siècle et laphilosophie condillacienne en triomphant semblèrent marquer dun sceauplus durable la renommée du plus sensé du plus logique et du pluscorrect des poëtes Mais ce fut surtout lorsquune école nouvelleséleva en littérature lorsque certains esprits bien peu nombreuxdabord commencèrent de mettre en avant des théories inusitées et lesappliquèrent dans des oeuvres ce fut alors quen haine des innovationson revint de toutes parts à Boileau comme à un ancêtre illustre et quonse rallia à son nom dans chaque mêlée Les académies proposèrent àlenvi son éloge les éditions de ses oeuvres se multiplièrent descommentateurs distingués MM ViolletleDuc Amar de SaintSurinlenvironnèrent des assortiments de leur goût et de leur érudition MDaunou en particulier ce vénérable représentant de la littérature etde la philosophie du XVIIIe siècle rangea autour de Boileau avec unesorte de piété tous les faits tous les jugements toutes les apologiesqui se rattachent à cette grande cause littéraire et philosophiqueMais cette fois le concert de si dignes efforts

meestal bewoonddoor ambachtsgezellen die van hun arbeidsloon met moeite genoegkonden overhouden om de wekelijksche huurpenningen te betalen of weldoor oude lieden die met de grootste zuinigheid van het geld datzij in jongere jaren gespaard hadden nu moesten levenIn een der minst vervallene dezer huisjes woonde in dien tijd eeneweduwe met haren eenigen zoon Alhoewel zij niets in eigendom op dewereld bezat hadden niettemin vreugde en genoegen altijd onder haardak gewoond zij droeg hare armoede met het grootste geduld en zouniet licht haren nederigen staat tegen eenen beteren verruild hebbenHaar geluk bestond in de arbeidzaamheid van haren zoon en in dezuivere genegenheid die hij haar toedroeg Daar zij eene teederemoeder was en al het gevoel van haar liefderijk hart op haren zoongekeerd had was het haar een genoegzaam gelukzalig lot zich doorhem zoo bemind te zien In hare gebeden in al hare zuchten was denaam van haar kind gemengd en de liefde welke zij hem hadtoegewijd was in eene soort van zelfverloochening verkeerd Haarzoon die zijne moeder met gelijke teederheid betaalde werkte dag ennacht om haar niets te laten ontbreken en wanneer hij maar gissenkon dat zij iets verlangde spaarde hij het zweet zijns aanschijnsniet maar zwoegde totdat hij geld genoeg gewonnen had om zijnemoeder het verlangde voorwerp te schenken Door arbeidszucht was hijzoodanig bekwaam geworden in het smidsambacht dat hij uitoefendedat niemand hem in het smeden van allerlei kunstvoorwerpen te bovenging en hij een ruim loon voor zijnen arbeid ontving Dit was eeneder redenen waarom de woning der weduwe met meer smaak versierd wasen zij als eene der meestbemiddelde huurlingen der huisjes van terZieken werd aangezien Haar zoon die in zijn werk buitengewonen lustvond zong en was blijde zonder ophouden ook had men zijnen echtennaam vergeten om hem dien van _vroolijken smid_ te gevenSedert eenige maanden was op eens in het huis der oude weduwe al ditgenoegen al die vreugde vergaan nu waren het slechts tranen die ervloeiden zuchten die men er hoorde en het zingen van den vroolijkensmid was eene zaak waaraan de geburen niet meer dachten dan om zichgelukkige tijden te herinnerenHet was op eenen Maandagde weduwe zat met natbeschreide wangen bijhet bed waarop haar zoon lag uitgestrekt Die sterke jonkman welkezoovele jaren den voorhamer met gemak en losheid had behandeld diezooveel zweet voor zijne moeder had gestort was nu als in eenontvleesd geraamte veranderd Men kon op zijnen blooten halsgemakkelijk de ingekrompen spieren zien bewegen zijnesleutelbeenderen lagen zoo zichtbaar onder zijne huid alsof zij alsmet een doorschijnend lijnwaad waren overtrokken geweest zijn ganschlichaam scheen als weggesmolten Zijn aangezicht droeg geen hetminste teeken van pijn alleenlijk was er eene diepe droefheid opafgeschetst en men kon duizende hartgrievende woorden lezen in deflauwe oogen die hij op zijne moeder gericht hield Van tijd tottijd kwam er nog eene uitdrukking van zaligheid zijn mager aangezichtbeglanzen het was wel geen lach maar iets onverstaanbaars eenegeheime gedachte die zijne oogen meer deed blinken en hem meer vanhet graf dat op hem gaapte scheen te verwijderen Dan vatte debedrukte moeder ziende wat hevige zielestrijd van hoop van liefdeen van doodende foltering in haren zoon omging zijne beenige hand enzuchtte vol ontroering een enkel woord rolde slechts van harelippen de naam van haren stervenden zoonQuinten o QuintenNadat zij elkander aldus ruimen tijd bezien hadden begon de weduweopnieuw overvloedige tranen te storten en sprak eindelijk met doffestemmeQuinten mijn arme zoon verlangt gij niets Hebt gij geenen dorstO neen moeder maar gij Ik zie u niets eten Gansche dagen weentgij om mij en gij krenkt uwe

tranen als bij bekenover zijne dorre wangenDe weduwe stond van haren zetel op en haar verdriet met geweldverbergende sloot zij het kranke lichaam van haren zoon met teederedrift in hare beide armen en zoende de tranen van zijn aangezichtQuinten zuchtte zij o zeg wat uw hart zoo benijpt Zeg het tochaan uwe moeder Misschien zal ik die geheime pijn genezen kunnenEndan Quinten dan zou ik u misschien niet verliezen Ware ditmogelijkQuinten sprak niet alleenlijk stuurde hij zijne blikken nogonbeweeglijker in de oogen zijner moeder zonder dat zijne tranenophielden van overvloediger op zijne wangen te

CONCLUSIONTHE AMATEUR POACHERCHAPTER ITHE FIRST GUNThey burned the old gun that used to stand in the dark corner up in thegarret close to the stuffed fox that always grinned so fiercelyPerhaps the reason why he seemed in such a ghastly rage was that he didnot come by his death fairly Otherwise his pelt would not have been soperfect And why else was he put away up there out of sightand somagnificent a brush as he had too But there he stood and mounted guardover the old flintlock that was so powerful a magnet to us in thosedays Though to go up there alone was no slight trial of moral courageafter listening to the horrible tales of the carters in the stable orthe old women who used to sit under the hedge in the shade on an armfulof hay munching their crusts at luncheon timeThe great cavernous place was full of shadows in the brightest summerday for the light came only through the chinks in the shutters Thesewere flush with the floor and bolted firmly The silence was intense itbeing so near the roof and so far away from the inhabited parts of thehouse Yet there were sometimes strange acoustical effectsas whenthere came a low tapping at the shutters enough to make your heartstand still There was then nothing for it but to dash through thedoorway into the empty cheeseroom adjoining which was better lightedNo doubt it was nothing but the labourers knocking the stakes in for therailing round the rickyard but why did it sound just exactly outsidethe shutters When that ceased the staircase creaked or the peartreeboughs rustled against the window The staircase always waited till youhad forgotten all about it before the loose wormeaten planks sprangback to their placeHad it not been for the merry whistling of the starlings on the thatchabove it would not have been possible to face the gloom and the teethof Reynard ever in the act to snap and the mystic noises and thesense of guiltfor the gun was forbidden Besides which there was theblack mouth of the open trapdoor overhead yawning fearfullya standingterror and temptation for there was a legend of a pair of pistolsthrown up there out of the waya treasuretrove tempting enough to makeus face anything But Orion must have the credit of the courage I callhim Orion because he was a hunter and had a famous dog The last I heardof him he had just ridden through a prairie fire and says the peopleout there think nothing of itWe dragged an ancient linenpress under the trapdoor and put some boxeson that and finally a straightbacked oaken chair One or two of thosechairs were split up and helped to do the roasting on the kitchenhearth So climbing the pile we emerged under the rafters and couldsee daylight faintly in several places coming through the starlingsholes One or two bats fluttered to and fro as we groped among thelumber but no pistols could be discovered nothing but a cannonballrusty enough and about as big as an orange which they say was found inthe wood where there was a brush in Olivers timeIn the middle of our expedition there came the wellknown whistleechoing about the chimneys with which it was the custom to recall us todinner How else could you make people hear who might be cutting aknobbed stick in the copse half a mile away or bathing in the lake Wehad to jump down with a run and then came the difficulty for blackdusty cobwebs the growth of fifty years clothed us from head to footThere was no brushing or picking them off with that loud whistlerepeated every two minutesThe fact where we had been was patent to all and so the chairs gotburnedbut one which was rickety After which a story crept out of adisjointed skeleton lying in a corner under the thatch Though just alittle suspicious that this might be a _ruse_ to frighten us from asecond attempt we yet could not deny the possibility of its being trueSometimes in the dusk when I sat poring over Koenigsmark the Robberby the little window in the cheeseroom a skull seemed to peer down thetrapdoor But then I had the flintlock by me for protectionThere were giants in the days when that gun was made for surely nomodern mortal could have held that mass of metal steady to his shoulderThe linenpress and a chest on the top of it formed however a verygood guncarriage and thus mounted aim could	9

THE BEAUTY OF THE ROCKIESLADY MERTONCOLONISTBYMRS HUMPHRY WARDFRONTISPIECEBY ALBERT STERNER1910A FOREWORDTowards the end of this story the readers of it will find an account ofan unknown lake in the northern Rockies together with a picture ofits broad expanse its glorious mountains and of a white explorerstent pitched beside it Strictly speaking Lake Elizabeth is a lake ofdream But it has an original on this real earth which bears anotherand a real name and was discovered two years ago by my friend MrsSchäffer of Philadelphia to whose enchanting narratives of travel andexploration in these untrodden regions I listened with delight at FieldBritish Columbia in June 1908 She has given me leave to use her ownphotograph of the unknown lake and some details from her record ofit for my own purposes and I can only hope that in the summers to comeshe may unlock yet other secrets unravel yet other mysteries in thatnoble unvisited country which lies north and northeast of the Bow Valleyand the Kicking Horse Pass MARY A WARDLADY MERTON COLONISTCHAPTER II call this part of the line beastly depressingThe speaker tossed his cigaretteend away as he spoke It fell on therailway line and the tiny smoke from it curled up for a moment againstthe heavy background of spruce as the train recededAll the same this is going to be one of the most exciting parts ofCanada before long said Lady Merton looking up from her guidebookI can tell you all about itFor heavens sake dont said her companion hastily My dearElizabeth I really must warn you Youre losing your headI lost it long ago Today I am a boretomorrow I shall be anuisance Make up your mind to itI thought you were a reasonable personyou used to be Now look atthat view Elizabeth Weve seen the same thing for twelve hours and ifit wasnt soon going to be dark we should see the same thing for twelvehours more What is there to go mad over in that Her brother wavedhis hand indignantly from right to left across the disappearing sceneAs for me I am only sustained by the prospect of the good dinner thatI know Yerkes means to give us in a quarter of an hour I wont be aminute late for it Go and get ready ElizabethAnother lake cried Lady Merton with a jump Oh what a darlingThats the twentieth since tea Look at the reflectionsand thatdelicious island And oh what _are_ those birdsShe leant over the side of the observation platform attached to theprivate car in which she and her brother were travelling at the rear ofthe heavy Canadian Pacific train To the left of the train a small bluelake had come into view a lake much indented with small bays running upamong the woods and a couple of islands covered with scrub of beech andspruce set sharply on the clear water On one side of the lake theforest was a hideous waste of burnt trunks where the gauntstemscharred or singed snapped or twisted or flayedof the treeswhich remained standing rose dreadfully into the May sunshine above achaos of black ruin below But except for this blemishthe only sign ofmanthe little lake was a gem of beauty The spring green clothed itsrocky sides the white spring clouds floated above it and within itand small beaches of white pebbles seemed to invite the human feet whichhad scarcely yet come near themWhat does it matter yawned her brother I dont want to shoot themAnd why you make such a fuss about the lakes when as you say yourselfthere are about two a mile and none of them has got a name to its backand theyre all exactly alike and all full of beastly mosquitoes in thesummerit beats me I wish Yerkes would hurry up He leant backsleepily against the door of the car and closed his eyesIts _because_ they havent got a nameand theyre so endlessandthe place is so bigand the people so fewand the chances are somanyand so queer said Elizabeth Merton laughingWhat sort of chancesChances of the futureHasnt got any chances said Philip Gaddesden keeping his hands inhis pocketsHasnt it Owl Lady Merton neatly pinched the arm nearest to her AsIve explained to you many times before this is the Hinterland ofOntarioand its only been surveyed except just along the railway afew years agoand its as rich as richI say I wish you wouldnt reel out the guidebook like that grumbledthe somnolent person beside her As if I didnt know all about theCobalt mines and that kind of stuffDid you make any money out of them PhilNobut the

getrokken Hij is een jonge Armeniër van Trebizondeafkomstig en door eene karavaan van perzische kooplieden hierachtergelaten Zoodra de knaap ons in het oog krijgt snelt hij naarhet rijtuig toe ontlast ons van onze bagage en geleidt ons naar dedeur waarvoor verscheidene russische officieren staan die na afloopder militaire manoeuvres hier komen ontbijtenDe inrichting van de herberg is ontegenzeggelijk beter dan die dergewone posthuizen maar toch laat zij nog veel te wenschen over Deonvermijdelijke samovar en eene tafel bedekt met de voor allereizigers bestemde sponsen en kammen vormen het geheele ameublementvan eene kamer waarvan de vastgeschroefde vensters gedeeltelijkmet papier zijn beplakt Het bed bestaat uit een dunne matras en eendeken lakens zijn er niet en zijn ook niet noodig want de Russentrekken althans hier in Kaukasië nooit hunne bovenkleeren uit alszij slapen gaanEene walging bevangt mij bij het binnentreden in deze kamer waar nooitversche lucht inkomt Maar wij hebben geene keus en moeten de dingennemen zoo als ze zijn Het komt er bovenal op aan een ontbijt machtigte worden en daar ik het ongeluk heb geen russisch te verstaan moetik mijn verlangen door teekens te kennen geven Ik breng herhaaldelijkmijne vingers naar mijn geopenden mond terwijl ik met de anderehand op mijne maag wijs Maar deze duidelijke mimiek die dacht mijoveral verstaanbaar moest zijn werd hier niet begrepen Gelukkig kreegmijn jonge Armeniër een goeden inval Wel vermoedende dat de koetsiervan de kales waarmede wij meer dan tien dagen gereden hadden onsverstaan zou liep hij haastig weg en keerde aanstonds weer met denman terug Deze brave Rus van wien men te Tiflis verzekerde dat hijitaliaansch verstond maar die ook tot gebaren zijne toevlucht moetnemen tracht mij de zaak op te helderen Hij neemt mijn horlogewijst op het cijfer van twaalf schudt zijn hoofd en laat zijn tandenop elkander klapperen vervolgens draait hij den wijzer op drie engaat met een vroolijk gezicht aan tafel zitten Vergis ik mij nietdan moet deze pantomime beduiden dat er voor het oogenblik in hetlogement niets te eten is maar dat ons over drie uren een heerlijkemaaltijd wachtHet vooruitzicht was schoon maar tien dagen lang hadden wij hongergeleden en bijna niet anders gegeten dan gerookt ganzenvleesch Onzemagen waren dus wat oproerig en wij gingen er dan ook maar op uitin de hoop dat wij hier even als in de bazars van Constantinopelgaarkeukens in de open lucht zouden vinden waar ieder die wilde zijnhonger kon stillenHet is druk en levendig in de bazars van Erivan want het is hedenhet feest van Noeroez of het perzische nieuwjaar de winkels terwederzijde van de vrij nauwe straat zijn opgevuld met allerleivoorwerpen de kooplui op kussens neergehurkt praten met

leastthese lines might remain a record of the excellence of the Mother andthe gratitude of the SonELB London January 6 1840PrefacetoThe First Edition of RienziI began this tale two years ago at Rome On removing to Naples Ithrew it aside for The Last Days of Pompeii which required morethan Rienzi the advantage of residence within reach of the scenesdescribed The fate of the Roman Tribune continued however to hauntand impress me and some time after Pompeii was published I renewedmy earlier undertaking I regarded the completion of these volumesindeed as a kind of dutyfor having had occasion to read the originalauthorities from which modern historians have drawn their accounts ofthe life of Rienzi I was led to believe that a very remarkable man hadbeen superficially judged and a very important period crudely examinedSee Appendix Nos I and II And this belief was sufficiently strongto induce me at first to meditate a more serious work upon the life andtimes of Rienzi I have adopted the termination of Rienzi instead ofRienzo as being more familiar to the general readerBut the latteris perhaps the more accurate reading since the name was a popularcorruption from Lorenzo Various reasons concurred against thisprojectand I renounced the biography to commence the fiction I havestill however adhered with a greater fidelity than is customaryin Romance to all the leading events of the public life of the RomanTribune and the Reader will perhaps find in these pages a more fulland detailed account of the rise and fall of Rienzi than in any Englishwork of which I am aware I have it is true taken a view of hischaracter different in some respects from that of Gibbon or SismondiBut it is a view in all its main features which I believe and think Icould prove myself to be warranted in taking not less by the facts ofHistory than the laws of Fiction In the meanwhile as I have given thefacts from which I have drawn my interpretation of the principal agentthe reader has sufficient data for his own judgment In the picture ofthe Roman Populace as in that of the Roman Nobles of the fourteenthcentury I follow literally the descriptions left to usthey are notflattering but they are faithful likenessesPreserving generally the real chronology of Rienzis life the plot ofthis work extends over a space of some years and embraces the varietyof characters necessary to a true delineation of events The storytherefore cannot have precisely that order of interest found infictions strictly and genuinely dramatic in which to my judgment atleast the time ought to be as limited as possible and the charactersas fewno new character of importance to the catastrophe beingadmissible towards the end of the work If I may use the word Epic inits most modest and unassuming acceptation this Fiction in shortthough indulging in dramatic situations belongs as a whole rather tothe Epic than the Dramatic schoolI cannot conclude without	23

HOSSACK and JOSEPH STOUT of Ottawa were convicted of having aided in rescuing a fugitive slave from the custody of the US Deputy Marshal at Ottawa Oct 20 1859 and sentenced by Judge Drummond to pay a fine of one hundred dollars and be imprisoned ten days Mr HOSSACK is a Scotchman by birth but spent many years of his life in Quebec following the occupation of a baker About twenty years since he removed to Ottawa Illinois and assisted in the construction of the Illinois and Michigan Canal He has been for some years past a prominent dealer in grain has acquired a competency by enterprise and industry and is considered one of the most upright and intelligent citizens in the community The following Plea made by him before the Court evinces true nobility of soul the highest moral integrity the most generous humanity and genuine manly eloquence Let it be read in every household so that the execution of the infamous Fugitive Slave Act in every part of the North shall be rendered impracticable by a regenerated public sentimentMAY IT PLEASE THE COURTI have a few words to say why sentence should not be pronouncedagainst me I am found guilty of a violation of the Fugitive

occasionworthy of the place and the position I occupy and the greatprinciples involved in the case before you I say to your Honortherefore if I fail in observing the usual forms of the place itwill be from a want of judgment and error of the head and not of theheart Therefore I do not think I shall fare worse at the hands ofyour Honor if I state plainly my views and feelings on the greatquestion of the agethe rights of man I feel that it is a case thatwill be referred to long after you and I have gone to meet the greatJudge of all the earthIt has been argued by the prosecution that I a foreigner protectedby the laws of my adopted country should be the last to disobey thoselaws but in this I find nothing that should destroy my sympathy forthe crushed struggling children of toil in all landsSurely I have been protected The fish in the rivers the quail inthe stubble the deer in the forest have been protected Shall I joinhands with those who make wicked laws in crushing out the poor blackman for whom there is no protection but in the grave where thewicked cease from troubling and the weary are at restIt is true SirI am a foreigner I first saw the light among therugged but free hills of Scotland a land Sir that never wasconquered and where a slave never breathed Let a slave set foot onthat shore and his chains fall off for ever and he becomes whatGod made hima man In this

OF ST CATHARINES COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE MEMBER OF THE ALPINE CLUB 1865PREFACEThe existence of natural icecaves at depths varying from 50 to 200 feetbelow the surface of the earth unconnected with glaciers or snowmountains and in latitudes and at altitudes where ice could not underordinary circumstances be supposed to exist has attracted someattention on the Continent but little or nothing seems to bepractically known in England on the subject These caves are sosingular and many of them so well repay inspection that a descriptionof the twelve which I have visited can scarcely as it seems to me beconsidered an uncalledfor addition to the numerous books of travelwhich are constantly appearing In order to prevent my narrative frombeing a mere dry record of natural phenomena I have interspersed itwith such incidents of travel as may be interesting in themselves oruseful to those who are inclined to follow my steps I have also givenfrom various sources accounts of similar caves in different parts ofthe worldA pamphlet on _Glacières Naturelles_ by M Thury of Geneva of theexistence of which I was not aware when I commenced my explorations hasbeen of great service to me M Thury had only visited three glacièreswhen he published his pamphlet in 1861 but the observations he recordsare very valuable He had attempted to visit a fourth whenunfortunately the want of a ladder of sufficient length stopped himI was allowed to read Papers before the British Association at Bath1864 in the Chemical Section on the prismatic formation of the icein these caves and in the Geological Section on their generalcharacter and the possible causes of their existenceIt is necessary to say with regard to the sections given in this bookthat while the proportions of the masses of ice are in accordance withmeasurements taken on the spot the interior height of many of thecaves and the curves of the roof and sides are put in with a freehand some of them from memory And of the measurements too it is onlyfair to say that they were taken for the most part under veryunfavourable circumstances in dark caves lighted by one or sometimesby two candles with a temperature varying from slightly above toslightly below the freezingpoint and with no surer foothold than thatafforded by slippery slopes of ice and chaotic blocks of stone In allcases errors are due to want of skill not of honesty and I hope thatthey do not generally lie on the side of exaggerationCAMBRIDGE _June_ 1865 CONTENTS CHAPTER I PAGE THE GLACIÈRE OF LA GENOLLIÈRE IN THE JURA 1 CHAPTER II THE GLACIÈRE OF S GEORGES IN THE JURA

William a Presbyterian clergymanwas then a teacher In 1855 he left Holland Patent in Oneida Countywhere his mother at that time resided to go to the West in search ofemployment On his way he stopped

gerekend worden tot de serievan voortbrengselen van onze Middeleeuwsche dramatische letterkundewaartoe ook de in deze reeks uitgegeven Esmoreit en Lanseloet vanDenemerken behooren Voor litterairhistorische bijzonderheden omtrentdeze serie Middeleeuwsche dramas voor zoover ze in een wedernietwetenschappelijk bedoelde uitgave op hun plaats zijn moge verwezenworden naar de inleidingen van genoemde stukken mede van de hand vanden schrijver dezer regelenHier zij nog slechts opgemerkt dat de in deze dingen ook slechts eenweinig georiënteerde lezer weder aanstonds merken zal hoe dicht deavonturenvolle stof van zulk een abel spel zich aansluit bij die derridderromansWie van den oorsprong van het gegeven van ons drama meer wil wetenverwijs ik naar de inleiding van Mr HE Moltzer DeMiddelnederlandsche Dramatische Poëzie1 naar welke uitgave dehiervolgende text is afgedruktVerdient ons stuk door een nieuwe uitgave uit de vergetelheid enonbekendheid waarin het zich op dit oogenblik bij het grootere publiekbevindt te worden te voorschijn gehaald Het antwoord mag bevestigendluiden al was het alleen maar om het feit dat het Haagschetooneelgezelschap dat zich met den oudvaderlandschen naam vanGhesellen van den Spele getooid heeft2 het in het komendetooneelseizoen voor het voetlicht zal brengen Maar ook overigens hetlijkt mij onbegrijpelijk dat terwijl Esmoreit en Lanseloet vanDenemerken zich reeds weder verscheidene jaren in een belangstellendtoeschouwend en lezend publiek verheugen de Gloriant betrekkelijkonbekend en in nieuwer tijden voor zoover ik weet onopgevoerd en inpopulaire editie onuitgegeven is gebleven Litterair lijkt het stuk mijverre de meerdere van de Esmoreit zéker wat karakterteekening endramatischen opbouw maar ook wat de dialoog aangaat Al is deze laatstein de Esmoreit zonder twijfel vlot en pittig de dialoog in òns stukkomt mij vooren ik hoop dat hieronder met enkele voorbeelden aan tetoonen_sterker_ ik zou bijna zeggen _moderner_ wantlangsdenneusweggeestiger te zijn En de dramatische opbouw heel deopzet is in Gloriant voor een modern mensch veel aannemelijker wat isgansch die geschiedenis van dien trotschen man en die trotsche vrouw diezich allebei te goed vinden voor het huwelijk en die dus met fatalezekerheid bestemd zijn om in elkaars handen te vallen niet eenprachtige trouvaille de kunst van een geestig enpsychologischanalyseerend modern auteur waardig Denk eens aan Shaw metzijn macht van de levenskrachtNeen ik persoonlijk vind dat Esmoreit ondanks zijn misschien dieperemoreele strekking en opzet het als waarlijk tènaïef bij Gloriant minof meer aflegt hoezeer ik het eerste stuk ook apprecieer als eenwaardevol overblijfsel van middeleeuwsche volkskunst En al geef ikoogenblikkelijk toe dat de fijne diepmenschelijke Lanseloet zeerveel zielvoller is dan Gloriant minder onderhoudend is dit laatste stukzeker niet Ik begrijp dan ook in geenen deele hoe Prof Dr J teWinkel in zijn Geschiedenis der Nederlandsche Letterkunde I3 totzijn blijkbaar niet zeer gunstig oordeel over het stuk gekomen is Profte Winkel die anders het sappige van onze oudnederlandsche kunst zoowèl weet te apprecieerenOp het verbazendaardige gegeven van het stuk wees ik boven al met eenenkel woord en ik zal er geen verdere beschouwingen aan wijden wijl ikbij ondervinding meen te weten dat een uitgelegde mop geen mop meer isen ik het er bovendien voor houd dat inleiders van litteratuurwerkendie zoovéél meenen te moeten uitleggen een weinighoogen dunk van deintelligentie van hun publiek aan den dag leggen Het is heusch geenheksentoer om het verloop van dit tooneelwerkje te volgen en wie hetzintuig voor de fijne humor ervan mistik beklaag hemdoch kan het hemmet geen redenatie van twintig vel druks bijbrengenVan de pittigheid van de dialoog een enkel voorbeeld Ook die zijoverigens den lezer te savoureeren overgelaten Lees eens hoe aardigen raak Gloriant in Tooneel I van het derde bedrijf als hij het tengevolge van het portret te pakken heeft door zijn oom Gheraert metzijn eigen woorden waarmee hij zoo kort te voren nog de vrouw en deliefde smaalde wordt vastgezetOok op iets anders zou ik in dit verband nog even de aandacht willenvestigen Als Gloriant de macht van de liefde heeft leeren voelen enhij deze geweldigste aller menschelijke aandoeningen verheerlijkt metgloedvolle woorden passages waar de dichter waarlijk een fiereschoonheid in zijn verzen bereikt vs 568 vlg vs 828 vlg dan isin deze alleenspraken opmerkelijk de vereenzelviging van de Liefde Godsen de menschelijke liefde caritas en amor Schóón is dezevereenzelviging in Gloriants woorden ongetwijfeld maar ongewoon in demiddeleeuwen waarin men deze beide soorten van liefde in den regelnogal goed uit elkaar hieldHoe aardig en psychologischraak ook de opzet van het stuk hoe vlot enpittig ook de dialoog de Gloriant zou geen waardig abel spel zijn enzou zeker een deel van zijn bekoorlijkheid missen als hij nietgelardeerd was met een tal van prachtige naïeveteiten De middeleeuwschetoeschouwers lezers en kunstenaars die bijv een Jeruzalemschehoogepriester in Katholiek bisschopsgewaad ten hoogste aannemelijkvonden stoorden zich niet aan een anachronisme of onmogelijkheid meerof minder en wijstoren er ons ook niet aan want aan de innerlijkewaarde van de Middeleeuwsche kunst doen zij geen afbreuk engrappigzijn ze vaak in hooge mate Zoo het blijkbaar geloof in Vrouw Venus bijden christen Gloriantzoo de Godenkraam waarbij de Sarraceenschedramatis personae om de andere seconde zweren Mamet en Mahoenverbasteringen van

PRESSLondonEdinburghGlasgowNew YorkTorontoMelbourneBombayHUMPHREY MILFORDPublisher to the UniversityPREFACEThe following pages are an enlargement of a paper read to theUniversity of London as the Creighton Lecture for 1910 and alsosubmitted in part to the London Conference on Townplanning in thesame yearThe original lecture was written as a scholars contribution to amodern movement It looked on townplanning as one of those newmethods of social reform which stand in somewhat sharp contrast withthe usual aims of political parties and parliaments The latterconcern mainly the outward and public life of men as fellowcitizensin a state they involve such problems as Home Rule DisestablishmentProtection The newer ideals centre round the daily life of humanbeings in their domestic environment Men and womenor rather womenand menhave begun to demand that the health and housing and food andcomfort of mankind and much else that not long ago seemed to lieoutside the scope of legislation should be treated with as closeattention and logic and intelligence as any of the older and moreconventional problems of politicians They will not leave even thetubes of babies feedingbottles to an offhand opportunismAmong these newer efforts townplanning is one of the better knownMost of us now admit that if some scores of dwellings have to be runup for workingmen or cityclerksor even for University teachersin North Oxfordthey can and should be planned with regard to thehealth and convenience and occupations of their probable tenantsTownplanning has taken rank as an art it is sometimes styled ascience and University professorships are named after it in theLondon Conference of 1910 it got its _deductio in forum_ or atleast its first dance But it is still young and its possibilitiesundefined Its name is apt to be applied to all sorts ofbuildingschemes and little attempt is made to assign it any specificsense It is only slowly making its way towards the recognized methodand the recognized principles which even an art requires Here itseemed a student of ancient history might proffer parallels fromantiquity and especially from the Hellenistic and Roman ages whichsomewhat resemble the present day in their care for the wellbeing ofthe individualIn enlarging the lecture I have tried not only to preserve this pointof view but also to treat the subject in a manner useful to classicalscholars and historians The details of Greek and Roman townplanningare probably little known to many who study Greek and Roman life andthough they have often been incidentally discussed1 they have neverbeen collected The material however is plentiful and itilluminates vividly the character and meaning of that citylife whichin its different forms was a vital element in both the Greek and theRoman world Even our little towns of Silchester and Caerwent in RomanBritain become more intelligible by its aid The Roman student gainsperhaps more than the Hellenist from this inquiry since the ancientRoman builder planned more regularly and the modern Romanarchaeologist has dug more widely But admirable German excavations atPriene Miletus and elsewhere declare that much may be learnt aboutGreek towns and in Greek lands 1 For example by Beloch in his volume on the cities of Campania by Schulten in various essays by Barthel in a recent inquiry into Roman Africa and by others to be cited below Dr J Stübben in his _Städtebau_ Darmstadt ed 2 1907 and Mr Raymond Unwin in his _Town planning in practice_ London 1909 have given interesting notices and illustrations of the subject for modern buildersThe task of collecting and examining these details is not easy Itneeds much local knowledge and many local books all of which are hardto come by Here as in most branches of Roman history we want aseries of special inquiries into the fortunes of individual Romantowns in Italy and the provinces carried out by men who combine twothings which seldom go together scientific and parochial knowledgeBut a body of evidence already waits to be used and though itsdiscussion may leadas it has led meinto topographical minutiaewhere completeness and certainty are too often unattainable and errorsare fatally easy my results may nevertheless contain some newsuggestions and may help some future workersI have avoided technical terms as far as I could and that not merelyin the interests of the general reader Such terms are too often bothugly and unnecessary When a foreign scholar writes of a Roman town asscamnirt or strigirt it is hard to avoid the feeling that thisis neither pleasant nor needful Perhaps it is not even accurate as Ishall point out below I have accordingly tried to make my text asplain as possible and to confine technicalities to the

VIII BEYOND MAN IX THE NEW ETHICS X SOME POEMS ABOUT INSECTS XI SOME FRENCH POEMS ABOUT INSECTS XII NOTE ON THE INFLUENCE OF FINNISH POETRY IN ENGLISH LITERATURE XIII THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ROMANCE OF THE MIDDLE AGES XIV IONICA XV OLD GREEK FRAGMENTS INDEXINTRODUCTIONThese chapters for the most part are reprinted from Lafcadio HearnsInterpretations of Literature 1915 from his Life and Literature1916 and from his Appreciations of Poetry 1917 Three chapters appearhere for the first time They are all taken from the student notes ofHearns lectures at the University of Tokyo 18961902 sufficientlydescribed in the earlier volumes just mentioned They are now published inthis regrouping in response to a demand for a further selection of thelectures in a less expensive volume and with emphasis upon those paperswhich illustrate Hearns extraordinary ability to interpret the exotic inlife and in booksIt should be remembered that these lectures were delivered to Japanesestudents and that Hearns purpose was not only to impart the informationabout Western literature usually to be found in our histories andtextbooks but much more to explain to the Oriental mind thosepeculiarities of our civilization which might be hard to understand on thefurther side of the Pacific Ocean The lectures are therefore unique inthat they are the first large attempt by a Western critic to interpret usto the East That we shall be deeply concerned in the near future tocontinue this interpretation on an even larger scale no one of us doubtsWe wish we might hope for another genius like Hearn to carry on the workThe merit of the chapters printed or reprinted in the present volume seemsto me their power to teach us to imagine our familiar traditions asforeign and exotic in the eyes of other peoples We are accustomed likeevery one else to think of our literature as the final product of otherliteraturesas a terminal in itself rather than as a channel throughwhich great potentialities might flow Like other men we are accustomedto think of ourselves as native under all circumstances and of otherpeople at all times as foreign While we were staying in their countrydid we not think of the French as foreigners In these chapters notoriginally intended for us we have the piquant and salutary experience ofseeing what we look like on at least one occasion when we are theforeigners we catch at least a glimpse of what to the Orient seems exoticin us and it does us no harm to observe that the peculiarly Westernaspects of our culture are not selfjustifying nor always justifiable whenlooked at through eyes not already disposed in their favour Hearn was oneof the most loyal advocates the West could possibly have sent to the Eastbut he was an honest artist and he never tried to improve his case bytrimming a fact His interpretation of us therefore touches oursensitiveness in regionsand in a degreewhich perhaps his Japanesestudents were unconscious of we too marvel as well as they at his skillin explaining but we are sensitive to what he found necessary to explainWe read less for the explanation than for the inventory of ourselvesAny interpretation of life which looks closely to the facts will probablyincrease our sense of mystery and of strangeness in common things If onthe other hand it is a theory of experience which chiefly interests us wemay divert our attention somewhat from the experience to the theoryleaving the world as humdrum as it was before we explained it In thatcase we must seek the exotic in remote places and in exceptionalconditions if we are to observe it at all But Lafcadio Hearn cultivatedin himself and taught his students to cultivate a quick alertness to thosequalities of life to which we are usually dulled by habit Education as heconceived of it had for its purpose what Pater says is the end ofphilosophy to rouse the human spirit to startle it into sharp and eagerobservation It is a sign that dulness is already spreading in us if wemust go far afield for the stimulating the wondrous the miraculous Thegrowing sensitiveness of a sound education would help us to distinguishthese qualities of romance in the very heart of our daily life To

House called Beautiful_ New England SayingTHE STREET CALLED STRAIGHTIAs a matter of fact Davenant was under no illusions concerning thequality of the welcome his hostess was according him though he found acertain pleasure in being once more in her company It was not a keenpleasure but neither was it an embarrassing one it was exactly what hesupposed it would be in case they ever met againa blending on his partof curiosity admiration and reminiscent suffering out of which timeand experience had taken the sting He retained the memory of a minuteof intense astonishment once upon a time followed by some weeks somemonths perhaps of angry humiliation but the years between twentyfourand thirtythree are long and varied generating in healthy naturesplenty of saving common sense Work travel and a widened knowledge ofmen and manners had so ripened Davenants mind that he was able to seehis proposal now as Miss Guion must have seen it then as something soincongruous and absurd as not only to need no consideration but to callfor no reply Nevertheless it was the refusal on her part of a replyof the mere laconic No which was all that in his heart of hearts hehad ever expected that rankled in him longest but even thatmortification had passed as far as he knew into the limbo of extinctregrets For her present superb air of having no recollection of hisblunder he had nothing but commendation It was as becoming to thespirited grace of its wearer as a royal mantle to a queen Carrying itas she did with an easy preoccupied affability that enabled her tolook round him and over him and through him to greet him and conversewith him without seeming positively to take in the fact of hisexistence he was permitted to suppose the incident of their previousacquaintance once so vital to himself to have been forgotten If thiswere so it would be nothing very strange since a woman oftwentyseven who has had much social experience may be permitted tolose sight of the more negligible of the conquests she has made as agirl of eighteen She had asked him to dinner and placed him honorablyat her right but words could not have made it plainer than it was thathe was but an accident to the occasionHe was there in short because he was staying with Mr and Mrs TempleAfter a two years absence from New England he had arrived in Wavertonthat day Oh bother bring him along had been the formula in whichMiss Guion had conveyed his invitation the dinner being but aninformal neighborly affair Two or three wedding gifts having arrivedfrom various quarters of the world it was natural that Miss Guionshould want to show them confidentially to her dear friend and distantrelative Drusilla Fane Mrs Fane had every right to this privilegedinspection since she had not only timed her yearly visit to herparents Mr and Mrs Temple so that it should synchronize with thewedding but had introduced Olivia to Colonel Ashley in the firstplace Indeed there had been a rumor at Southsea right up to the timeof Miss Guions visit to the pretty little house on the Marine Paradethat the colonels calls and attentions there had been not unconnectedwith Mrs Fane herself but rumor in British naval and military stationsis notoriously overactive especially in matters of the heart Certainit is however that when the fashionable London papers announced that amarriage had been arranged and would shortly take place betweenLieutenantColonel Rupert Ashley of the Sussex Rangers and of HeneagePlace Belvoir Leicestershire and Olivia Margaret only child of HenryGuion Esquire of Tory Hill Waverton near Boston MassachusettsUSA no one offered warmer congratulations than the lady in whosehouse the interesting pair had met There were people who ascribed thisattitude to the fact that being constitutionally game she refused tobetray her disappointment She had been awfully game they said whenpoor Gerald Fane also of the Sussex Rangers was cut off with entericat Peshawur But the general opinion was to the effect that not wantingRupert Ashley for some obscure feminine reason for herself she hadmagnanimously bestowed him elsewhere Around teatables and at churchparade it was said Americans do that with some comment on themethods of the transferOn every ground then Drusilla was entitled to this first look at thepresents some of which had come from Ashleys brother officers whowere consequently brother officers of the late Captain Fane so thatwhen she telephoned saying she was afraid that they her parents andherself couldnt come to dinner that evening because a former ward ofher fathersOlivia must remember Peter Davenantwas arriving to staywith them for a week or two Miss Guion had answered Oh bother bringhim along and the matter was arranged It was doubtful however thatshe knew him in advance to be the Peter Davenant who nine years earlierhad had the presumption to fall in love with her it was still moredoubtful after she had actually shaken hands with him and called him byname whether she paid him the tribute of any kind of recollection Thefact that she had seated him at her right in the place that wouldnaturally be accorded to Rodney Temple the scholarly director of theDepartment of Ceramics in the Harvard Gallery of Fine Arts made it lookas if she considered Davenant a total stranger In the fewconventionally gracious words she addressed to

your Society to have this book to offer youIt has given great courage to many workers hereworking to build upbroken wallsto know you have such friendly thoughts of them in yourminds A few of you have already come to see us and we begin to hopethat one day the steamers across the Atlantic will not go out full butcome back full until some of you find your real home is here and sayas some of us say like Finn to the woman of enchantmentsIllustration Irish GaelicWe would not give up our own countryIrelandif we were to get thewhole world as an estate and the Country of the Young along with itAUGUSTA GREGORYPREFACEIA few months ago I was on the bare Hill of Allen wide Almhuin ofLeinster where Finn and the Fianna lived according to the storiesalthough there are no earthen mounds there like those that mark thesites of old buildings on so many hills A hot sun beat down uponflowering gorse and flowerless heather and on every side except theeast where there were green trees and distant hills one saw a levelhorizon and brown boglands with a few green places and here and therethe glitter of water One could imagine that had it been twilight andnot early afternoon and had there been vapours drifting and frothingwhere there were now but shadows of clouds it would have set stirringin one as few places even in Ireland can a thought that is peculiar toCeltic romance as I think a thought of a mystery coming not as withGothic nations out of the pressure of darkness but out of great spacesand windy light The hill of Teamhair or Tara as it is now calledwith its green mounds and its partly wooded sides and its more gradualslope set among fat grazing lands with great trees in the hedgerowshad brought before one imaginations not of heroes who were in theiryouth for hundreds of years or of women who came to them in thelikeness of hunted fawns but of kings that lived brief and politiclives and of the five white roads that carried their armies to thelesser kingdoms of Ireland or brought to the great fair that had givenTeamhair its sovereignty all that sought justice or pleasure or hadgoods to barterIIIt is certain that we must not confuse these kings as did the mediævalchroniclers with those halfdivine kings of Almhuin The chroniclersperhaps because they loved tradition too well to cast out utterly muchthat they dreaded as Christians and perhaps because popular imaginationhad begun the mixture have mixed one with another ingeniously makingFinn the head of a kind of Militia under Cormac MacArt who is supposedto have reigned at Teamhair in the second century and making Graniawho travels to enchanted houses under the cloak of Angus god of Loveand keeps her troubling beauty longer than did Helen hers Cormacsdaughter and giving the stories of the Fianna although the impossiblehas thrust its proud finger into them all a curious air of precisehistory It is only when one separates the stories from that mediævalpedantry as in this book that one recognises one of the oldest worldsthat man has imagined an older world certainly than one finds in thestories of Cuchulain who lived according to the chroniclers about thetime of the birth of Christ They are far better known and one may becertain of the antiquity of incidents that are known in one form oranother to every Gaelicspeaking countryman in Ireland or in theHighlands of Scotland Sometimes a labourer digging near to a cromlechor Bed of Diarmuid and Crania as it is called will tell one a traditionthat seems older and more barbaric than any description of theiradventures or of themselves in written text or story that has taken formin the mouths of professed storytellers Finn and the Fianna foundwelcome among the court poets later than did Cuchulain and one findsmemories of Danish invasions and standing armies mixed with theimaginations of hunters and solitary fighters among great woods Onenever hears of Cuchulain delighting in the hunt or in woodland thingsand one imagines that the storyteller would have thought it unworthy inso great a man who lived a wellordered elaborate life and had hischariot and his chariotdriver and his barleyfed horses to delight inIf he is in the woods before dawn one is not told that he cannot knowthe leaves of the hazel from the leaves of the oak and when Emerlaments him no wild creature comes into her thoughts but the cuckoo thatcries over cultivated fields His story must have come out of a timewhen the wild wood was giving way to pasture and tillage and men had nolonger a reason to consider every cry of the birds or change of thenight Finn who was always in the woods whose battles were but hoursamid years of hunting delighted in the cackling of ducks from the Lakeof the Three Narrows the scolding talk of the

HARPER BROTHERS PUBLISHERS FRANKLIN SQUAREEntered according to Act of Congress in the year 1850 by HARPER BROTHERS In the Clerks Office for the Southern District of New YorkPREFACEThe development of the moral sentiments in the human heart in earlylifeand every thing in fact which relates to the formation ofcharacteris determined in a far greater degree by sympathy andby the influence of example than by formal precepts and didacticinstruction If a boy hears his father speaking kindly to a robin inthe springwelcoming its coming and offering it foodthere arisesat once in his own mind a feeling of kindness toward the birdand toward all the animal creation which is produced by a sort ofsympathetic action a power somewhat similar to what in physicalphilosophy is called _induction_ On the other hand if thefather instead of feeding the bird goes eagerly for a gun in orderthat he may shoot it the boy will sympathize in that desire andgrowing up under such an influence there will be gradually formedwithin him through the mysterious tendency of the youthful heart tovibrate in unison with hearts that are near a disposition to kill anddestroy all helpless beings that come within his power There is noneed of any formal instruction in either case Of a thousand childrenbrought up under the former of the abovedescribed influences nearlyevery one when he sees a bird will wish to go and get crumbs to feedit while in the latter case nearly every one will just as certainlylook for a stone Thus the growing up in the right atmosphere ratherthan the receiving of the right instruction is the condition whichit is most important to secure in plans for forming the characters ofchildrenIt is in accordance with this philosophy that these stories thoughwritten mainly with a view to their moral influence on the hearts anddispositions of the readers contain very little formal exhortationand instruction They present quiet and peaceful pictures of happydomestic life portraying generally such conduct and expressing suchsentiments and feelings as it is desirable to exhibit and express inthe presence of childrenThe books however will be found perhaps after all to be usefulmainly in entertaining and amusing the youthful readers who may perusethem as the writing of them has been the amusement and recreation ofthe author in the intervals of more serious pursuitsCONTENTSCHAPTERIJEMMYIITHE BRIDEIIIMARY ERSKINES VISITORSIVCALAMITYVCONSULTATIONSVIMARY BELL IN THE WOODSVIIHOUSEKEEPINGVIIITHE SCHOOLIXGOOD MANAGEMENTXTHE VISIT TO MARY ERSKINESENGRAVINGSMARY

atFranconia a great part of the day and at night they slept in twoseparate recesses which opened out of the same room These recesseswere deep and large and they were divided from the room by curtainsso that they formed as it were separate chambers and yet the childrencould speak to each other from them in the morning before they got upsince the curtains did not intercept the sound of their voices Theymight have talked in the same manner at night after they had gone tobed but this was against Mrs Henrys rulesOne morning Malleville after lying awake a few minutes listening tothe birds that were singing in the yard and wishing that the windowwas open so that she could hear them more distinctly heard Phonnysvoice calling to herMalleville said he are you awakeYes said Malleville are youYes said Phonny Im awakebut what a cold morning it isIt was indeed a cold morning or at least a very _cool_ oneThis was somewhat remarkable as it was in the month of June But thecountry about Franconia was cold in winter and cool in summer Phonnyand Malleville rose and dressed themselves and then went down stairsThey hoped to find a fire in the sittingroom but there was noneHow sorry I am said Phonny But hark I hear a roaringYes said Malleville it is the oven they are going to bakeThe back of the oven was so near to the partition wall which formedone side of the sittingroom that the sound of the fire could beheard through it The mouth of the oven however opened intoanother small room connected with the kitchen which was called thebakingroom The children went out into the bakingroom to warmthemselves by the oven fireI am very glad that it is a cool day said Phonny for perhapsmother will let us go to Mary Erskines Should not you like to goYes said Malleville very much

who lived withMrs Bell for several years This other Mary was Mary Erskine MaryErskine did not live now at Mrs Bells but at another house whichwas situated nearly two miles from Mrs Henrys and the way to itwas by a very wild and unfrequented road The children were frequentlyaccustomed to go and make Mary Erskine a visit but it was so long awalk that Mrs Henry never allowed them to go unless on a

INCPORT WASHINGTON NYTHE FUNCTION OF THE POET1920 by Houghton Mifflin CompanyReissued in 1967 by Kennikat PressPREFACEThe Centenary Celebration of James Russell Lowell last year showed thathe has become more esteemed as a critic and essayist than as a poetLowell himself felt that his true calling was in critical work ratherthan in poetry and he wrote very little verse in the latter part of hislife He was somewhat chagrined that the poetic flame of his youth didnot continue to glow but he resigned himself to his fate neverthelessit should be remembered that The Vision of Sir Launfal The BiglowPapers and The Commemoration Ode are enough to make the reputationof any poetThe present volume sustains Lowells right to be considered one of thegreat American critics The literary merit of some of the essays hereinis in many respects nowise inferior to that in some of the volumes hecollected himself The articles are all exquisitely and carefullywritten and the style of even the book reviews displays that qualityfound in his best writings which Ferris Greenslet has appropriatelydescribed as savory That such a quantity of good literature by soable a writer as Lowell should have been allowed to repose buried in thefiles of old magazines so long is rather unfortunate The fact thatLowell did not collect them is a tribute to his modesty a tribute allthe more worthy in these days when some writers of ephemeral reviews onephemeral books think it their duty to collect their opinions in bookformThe essays herein represent the matured author as they were written inthe latter part of his life between his thirtysixth and fiftyseventhyears The only early essay is the one on Poe It appeared in _GrahamsMagazine_ for February 1845 and was reprinted by Griswold in hisedition of Poe It has also been reprinted in later editions of Poe buthas never been included in any of Lowells works This was no doubt dueto the slight break in the relations between Poe and Lowell due toPoes usual accusations of plagiarism The essay still remains one ofthe best on Poe ever writtenThough Lowell became in later life quite conservative and academic itshould not be thought that these essays show no sympathy with liberalideas He was also appreciative of the first works of new writers andhad good and prophetic insight His favorable reviews of the first worksof Howells and James and the subsequent career of these two menindicate the sureness of Lowells critical mind Many readers willenjoy in these days of the ouija board and messages from the dead theraps at spiritualism here and there Moreover there is a passage in thefirst essay showing that Lowell before Freud understood thepsychoanalytic theory of genius in its connection with childhoodmemories The passage follows Lowells narration of the story of littleMontagueNone of the essays in this volume has appeared in book form except a fewfragments from some of the opening five essays which were reported fromLowells lectures in the _Boston Advertiser_ in 1855 and wereprivately printed some years ago Charles Eliot Norton performed aservice to the world when he published in the _Century Magazine_ in 1893and 1894 some lectures from Lowells manuscripts These lectures are nowcollected and form the first five essays in this book I have alsoretained Professor Nortons introductions and notes Attention is calledto his remark that The Function of the Poet is not unworthy to standwith Sidneys and Shelleys essays on poetryThe rest of the essays in this volume appeared in Lowells lifetime inthe _Atlantic Monthly_ the _North American Review_ and the _Nation_They were all anonymous but are assigned to Lowell by George WillisCooke in his Bibliography of James Russell Lowell Lowell was editorof the _Atlantic_ from the time of its

greater part of a review of the poems ofHowellss friend Piatt all the articles from these two magazinesreprinted in this volume appeared during Lowells editorship Thesearticles include reviews of poems by his friends Longfellow andWhittier And in his review of The Courtship of Miles Standish Lowellmakes effective use of his scholarship to introduce a lengthy andinteresting discourse on the dactylic hexameterWhile we are on the subject of the New England poets a word about thepresent misunderstanding and tendency to underrate them may not be outof place Because it is growing to be the consensus of opinion that thetwo greatest poets America has produced are Whitman and Poe it does notfollow that the NewEnglanders must be relegated to the scrapheap Nordo I see any inconsistency in a man whose taste permits him to enjoyboth the free verse and unpuritanic if I may coin a word poems ofMasters and Sandburg and also Whittiers SnowBound and LongfellowsCourtship of Miles Standish Though these poems are not profoundthere is something of the universal in them They have pleasantschoolday memories for all of us and will no doubt have such for ourchildrenLowells cosmopolitan tastes may be seen in his essays on men sodifferent as Thackeray Swift and Plutarch Hardly any one knows thathe even wrote about these authors Lowell preferred Thackeray toDickens a judgment in which many people today no longer agree withhim As a young man he hated Swift but he gives us a sane study of himThe review of Plutarchs Essays edited by Goodwin with anintroduction by Emerson is also of interestThe

Prince of Wales1889PREFACENothing authentic is known of the history of Guernsey previously to itsannexation to the Duchy of Normandy in the tenth century The onlysources of information as to events which may have occurred before thatdate are references in monkish chronicles of the usual semimythicaltype and indications conveyed by cromlechs and menhirs fragments ofCeltic instruments and pottery and a few Roman relics It isunfortunate that we are thus precluded from acquiring any knowledge ofthe development of a people as to whom the soundest among conflictingconjectures seems to be that coming originally from Brittany theypreserved the purity of the Celtic race through periods when in otheroffshoots of the same stock its characteristics were being obliteratedby the processes of crossing and absorptionIf early local records had existed they would hardly have failed tohave given minute details of the convulsion of nature which resulted inthe destruction by the sea of the forest lands on the northern andwestern sides of the island and in the separation of tracts ofconsiderable magnitude from the mainland Geologists are agreed inassigning to this event the date of March 709 when great inundationsoccurred in the Bay of Avranches on the French coast they are notequally unanimous as to the cause but science now rejects the theory ofa raising of the sealevel and that of a general subsidence of theisland The most reasonable explanation appears to be that theoverpowering force of a tidal wave suddenly swept away barriers whoseresistance had been for ages surely though imperceptibly diminishingand that the districts thus left unprotected proved to be below thesealevelowing as regards the forests to gradual subsidence easilyexplicable in the case of undrained swampy soil and as regards therocks to the fact that the newly exposed surface consisted ofaccumulations of already disintegrated depositsIt is unquestionable that before the inroad of the sea the inlet in thesouthwest of the island known as Rocquaine Bay was enclosed by twoarms the northern of which terminated in the point of Lihou on whichstill stand the ruins of an old priory while the southern ended in theHanois rocks on which a lighthouse has been erected Lihou is atpresent an island accessible only at low water by a narrow causewaythe Hanois is entirely cut off from the shore but it is a noteworthyfact that the signs of old cartruts are visible at spring tides andthat an iron hook was recently discovered attached to a submerged rockwhich had apparently served as a gatepost besides these proofs of theexistence of roads now lying under the waves it is said that an oldorder for the repair of Hanois roads is still extant That Vazon and theBraye du Valle were the sites of forests is indisputable though theformer is now a sandy bay into which the Atlantic flows withouthindrance and the latter reclaimed within the present century by anenterprising governor formed for centuries a channel of the sea bywhich the Clos du Valle on which the Vale Church stands was separatedfrom the mainland A stratum of peat extends over the whole arm of theBraye while as regards Vazon there is the remarkable evidence of anoccurrence which took place in December 1847 A strong westerly galeblowing into the bay concurrently with a low spring tide broke up thebed of peat and wood underlying the sand and gravel and lifted it uplike an icefloe it was then carried landwards by the force of thewaves The inhabitants flocked to the spot and the phenomenon wascarefully inspected by scientific observers Trunks of fullsized treeswere seen accompanied by meadow plants and roots of rushes and weedssurrounded by those of grasses and mosses the perfect state of thetrees showed that they had been long buried under the sand Some of thetrees and boughs were at first mistaken for wreckage but the fishermensoon discovered their error and loaded their carts with the treasurelocally known as gorban Subsequent researches have shown that acornsand hazelnuts teeth of horses and hogs also pottery and instrumentsof the same character as those found in the cromlechs exist among theVazon peat deposits There is therefore abundant evidence that thelegends relating to the former inhabitants of the forest are based ontraditions resting on an historical foundationCONTENTS CHAPTER ITRADITION CHAPTER

TRANSLATIONBYALBERT STANBURROUGH COOKProfessor of the English Language and Literature in Yale UniversityVERSE TRANSLATIONBYJAMES HALL PITMANFellow in English of Yale UniversityNEW HAVEN YALE UNIVERSITY PRESSLONDON HUMPHREY MILFORDOXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESSMDCCCXXIFACSIMILEPREFACEThe Old English _Physiologus_ or _Bestiary_ is a series of three briefpoems dealing with the mythical traits of a landanimal a seabeastand a bird respectively and deducing from them certain moral orreligious lessons These three creatures are selected from a much largernumber treated in a work of the same name which was compiled atAlexandria before 140 BC originally in Greek and afterwardstranslated into a variety of languagesinto Latin before 431 Thestandard form of the _Physiologus_ has 49 chapters each dealing with aseparate animal sometimes imaginary or other natural object beginningwith the lion and ending with the ostrich examples of these are thepelican the eagle the phoenix the ant cf Prov 66 the fox theunicorn and the salamander In this standard text the Old Englishpoems are represented by chapters 16 17 and 18 dealing in successionwith the panther a mythical seamonster called the aspturtle usuallydenominated the whale and the partridge Of these three poems thethird is so fragmentary that little is left except eight lines ofreligious application and four of exhortation by the poet so that theoutline of the poem and especially the part descriptive of thepartridge must be conjecturally restored by reference to the treatmentin the fuller versions which are based upon Jer 1711 the texts drawnupon for the application in lines 511 are 2 Cor 61718 Isa 557Heb 21011It has been said With the exception of the Bible there is perhaps noother book in all literature that has been more widely current in everycultivated tongue and among every class of people Such currency mightbe illustrated from many English authors Two passages from Elizabethanliterature may serve as specimensthe one from Spenser the other fromShakespeare The former is from the _Faerie Queene_ 1 1134 At last she saw where he upstarted brave Out of the well wherein he drenched lay As Eagle fresh out of the Ocean wave Where he hath left his plumes all hoary gray And deckt himselfe with feathers youthly gay Like Eyas hauke up mounts unto the skies His newly budded pineons to assay And marveiles at himselfe still as he flies So new this newborne knight to battell new did riseThe other is from _Hamlet_ Laertes to the King To his good friends thus wide Ill ope my arms And like the kind liferendering pelican Repast them with my blood1However widely diffused the symbolism exemplified by the _Physiologus_is peculiarly at home in the East Thus Egypt symbolized the sun withhis death at night passing into a rebirth by the phoenix which by anatural extension came to signify the resurrection And the Bible notonly sends the sluggard to the ant and bids men consider the lilies ofthe field but with a large sweep commands Job 1278 Ask now thebeasts and they shall teach thee and the fowls of the air and theyshall tell thee or speak to the earth and it shall teach thee and thefishes of the sea shall declare unto theeFootnote 1 Alfred de Musset in _La Nuit de Mai_ develops the imageof the pelican through nearly thirty linesThe text as here printed is extracted from my edition _The Old EnglishElenc Phoenix and Physiologus_ Yale University Press 1919 where acritical apparatus may be found here it may be sufficient to say thatItalic letters in square brackets denote my emendations and Romanletters those of previous editors The translations have not hithertobeen published and no complete ones are extant in any language savethose contained in Thorpes edition of the _Codex

jest catch hold thisway andBut I dont want to kill him she said I want to keep him in thisnice little house I have got ready for him and give him all the tobaccohe can eat Will you bring me a fresh leaf every morningWhile she was speaking she had put the worm in a box with a cover ofpink netting On his way home Sammy met Roy Tyler and told him as asecret that the lame lady at the ministers house kept worms and wouldpay two cents a head for tobacco worms Anyway said Sammy thatswhat she paid meIf there was money to be got in the tobaccoworm business Roy wanted ashare in it and before night he brought to Miss Ruth in an old tinbasin eight worms of various sizes from a tiny baby worm just hatchedto a great ugly creature jet black and spotted and barred withyellow The black worm Miss Ruth consented to keep and Roy lifting himby his horn dropped him on the green worms backNow you have a Blacky and a Greeny the boy said and by these namesthey were calledRoy and Sammy came together the next morning and watched the worms attheir breakfastHow they eat said Sammy they make their great jaws go like a coupleof old tobaccochewersYes and if they lived on bread and butter t would cost a lot to feedem wouldnt it said RoyLook at my woodbine worm boys Miss Ruth said as she lifted thecover of another box Isnt he a beauty See the delicate green shadedto white on his back and that row of spots down his sides looking likebuttons I call him Slyboots because he has a trick of hiding underthe leaves He used to have a horn on his tail like the tobacco wormsWhere that spot is that looks like an eyeYes and one day he ate nothing and hid himself away and looked sostrangely that I thought he was going to die but the next morning heappeared in this beautiful new coatHow funny Say what is he going to turn intoBut Miss Ruth was busy housecleaning First she turned out her tenantsThey were at breakfast but they took their food with them and did notmind Then she tipped their house upside down and brushed out everystick and stem and bit of leaf spread thick brown paper on the floorand put back Greeny and Blacky snug and comfortableThe next time Sammy and Roy met at the parsonage three

stopped eating and Slyboots is turning paleA worm turn paleYes indeed look at himIt was quite true the green on his back had changed to graywhite andhis pretty spots were fadingHe looks awfully is he

lesquelles je me suisessayéAujourdhui en réimprimant ce volume dans la collection acquise par MMGarnier jen fais le tome III des _Portraits littéraires_ auxquels ilse rapporte en effet par la plus grande partie de son contenuDécembre 1862THÉOCRITEILa poésie grecque qui commence avec Homère et qui ouvre par lui salongue période de gloire semble la clore avec Théocrite elle se trouveainsi comme encadrée entre la grandeur et la grâce et celleci pour enêtre à faire les honneurs de la sortie na rien perdu de son entière etsuprême fraîcheur Elle na jamais paru plus jeune et a rassemblé unedernière fois tous ses dons Après Théocrite il y aura encore en Grècedagréables poëtes il ny en aura plus de grands La lie même de lalittérature des Grecs dans sa vieillesse offre un résidu délicat cestce quon peut dire avec M Joubert des poëtes danthologie qui suiventMais Théocrite appartient encore à la grande famille il en est parson originalité par son éclat par la douceur et la largeur de sespinceaux Les suffrages de la postérité lont constamment maintenu à sonrang et rien ne len a pu faire descendre A un certain moment lesmêmes gens desprit qui sattaquaient à Homère se sont attaqués àThéocrite Tandis que Perrault prenait à partie l_Iliade_ Fontenellefaisait le procès aux _Idylles_ il ny a pas mieux réussi Cesttoujours un étonnement pour moi je lavoue de voir quun esprit aussisupérieur que Fontenelle nait pas mieux compris tout berger normandquil était quen ce parallèle des anciens et des modernes il y avaitdes genres dans lesquels les anciens devaient presque nécessairementavoir la prééminence quelle que fût la revanche des modernes surdautres points Lui qui a si ingénieusement et si justement comparé lasuite des âges et des siècles à la vie dun seul homme lequel existantdepuis le commencement du monde jusquà présent aurait eu son enfancesa jeunesse sa maturité comment natil pas reconnu que cet âge dejeunesse quil rejetait dans le passé était en effet le plus propre à uncertain épanouissement naturel et riant dont làpropos ne se retrouveplus Un vieux poëte du seizième siècle Pontus de Thyard ayant àdéfinir les Grâces la fait en des termes qui reviennent singulièrementà ma pensée Des trois Grâces ditil la première étoit nommée_Aglaé_ la seconde _Thalie_ et la tierce _Euphrosyne_ _Aglaé_signifie _splendeur_ quil faut entendre pour celle grâce dentendementqui consiste au lustre de vérité et de vertu _Thalie_ signifie la_verde agréable et gentille beauté_ à savoir celle des linéaments bienconduits et des traits desquels la verde jeunesse est coutumière deplaire _Euphrosyne_ est la _joie_ que nous cause la pure délectation dela voix musicale et harmonieuse Sans insister sur les distinctionsun peu platoniques du vieil auteur il me suffit des traductions vivesquil emploie pour éclairer la discussion même Car cette _Thalie_comme il lappelle cette _verte et agréable beauté_ de la musepastorale à quel âge du monde iraton la demander si ce nest à sajeunesse et Théocrite nous représente bien cette jeunesse finissantequi se retourne une dernière fois et ressaisit comme dun coup doeiltous ses charmes avant de sen détacher Fontenelle a beau définir lamaturité actuelle du monde une virilité _sans vieillesse_ et danslaquelle lhomme sera toujours également capable des choses auxquellessa jeunesse était propre il est bien clair que cette capacitésapplique peu aux sentiments et que rien de tout ce quil y a desolide ou de raffiné dans lhomme moderne ne saurait lui rendre unecertaine fleur Ajoutons que tout en faisant la guerre à Théocritecontre ceux quil appelait les savants et qui dans ce cascinétaient pas autres que les gens de goût Fontenelle luimême semblereconnaître son impuissance et il rend les armes lorsquil dit Quoiquil en soit je vois que toute leur faveur est pour Théocrite etquils ont résolu quil serait le prince des poëtes bucoliques Ilslont résolu en effet et comme quiconque remonte sincèrement à lasource est aussitôt de leur sentiment larrêt toujours rajeuni nesaurait manquer de vivre1Lidylle nest pas un genre qui puisse indifféremment venir en touttemps et partout il y faut une part de naturel même quand lart doitsen mêler Théocrite nétait plus sans doute dans cet état dinnocenceet de naïveté dont il nous a reproduit plus dun tableau il venait à lafin dune littérature trèscultivée il vivait diton à la cour desrois Pourtant dans cette Sicile heureuse bien que tant de foisbouleversée il avait été témoin dune vie réellement pastorale ilavait dans sa jeunesse entendu de vrais chants quaccompagnait laflûte de vrais bergers et il nen fallut pas davantage à son génieinventif pour saisir loccasion dune poésie neuve Théocrite étaitpar rapport aux choses quil représentait dans

Theological College XXXII Ember DaysTHE ALTAR STEPSCHAPTER ITHE BISHOPS SHADOWFrightened by some alarm of sleep that was forgotten in the moment ofwaking a little boy threw back the bedclothes and with quick heart andbreath sat listening to the torrents of darkness that went rolling byHe dared not open his mouth to scream lest he should be suffocated hedared not put out his arm to search for the bellrope lest he should beseized he dared not hide beneath the blankets lest he should be keptthere he could do nothing except sit up trembling in a vain effort toorientate himself Had the room really turned upside down On an impulseof terror he jumped back from the engorging night and bumped hisforehead on one of the brass knobs of the bedstead With horror heapprehended that what he had so often feared had finally come to passAn earthquake had swallowed up London in spite of everybodys assurancethat London could not be swallowed up by earthquakes He was going downdown to smoke and fire or was it the end of the world The quickand the dead skeletons thousands and thousands of skeletons Guardian Angel he shriekedNow surely that Guardian Angel so often conjured must appear A shaft ofgolden candlelight flickered through the half open door The little boyprepared an attitude to greet his Angel that was a compound of thesuspicion and courtesy with which he would have welcomed a new governessand the admiring fellowship with which he would have thrown a piece ofbread to a swanAre you awake Mark he heard his mother whisper outsideHe answered with a cry of exultation and reliefOh Mother he sighed clinging to the soft sleeves of herdressinggown I thought it was being the end of the worldWhat made you think that my preciousI dont know I just woke up and the room was upside down And first Ithought it was an earthquake and then I thought it was the Day ofJudgment He suddenly began to chuckle to himself How silly of meMother Of course it couldnt be the Day of Judgment because itsnight isnt it It couldnt ever be the Day of Judgment in the nightcould it he continued hopefullyMrs Lidderdale did not hesitate to reassure her small son on thispoint She had no wish to add another to that long list of nightly fearsand fantasies which began with mad dogs and culminated in the Prince ofDarkness himselfThe room looks quite safe now doesnt it Mark theorizedIt is quite safe darlingDo you think I could have the gas lighted when you really _must_ goJust a little bit for onceOnly a little bit he echoed doubtfully A very small illumination wasin its eerie effect almost worse than absolute darknessIt isnt healthy to sleep with a great deal of light said his motherWell how much could I have Just for once not a crocus but a tulipAnd of course not a violetMark always thought of the gasjets as flowers The dimmest of all wasthe violet followed by the crocus the tulip and the waterlily thelast a brilliant affair with wavy edges and sparkling motes dancingabout in the blue water on which it swamNo no dearest boy You really cant have as much as that And nowsnuggle down and go to sleep again I wonder what made you wake upMark seized upon this splendid excuse to detain his mother for awhileWell it wasnt ergzackly a dream he began to improvise Because Iwas awake And I heard a terrible plump and I said what can that beand then I was frightened and Yes well my sweetheart you must tell Mother in the morningMark perceived that he had been too slow in working up to his crisis anddesperately he sought for something to arrest the attention of hisbeloved audiencePerhaps my Guardian Angel was beside me all the time because lookheres a featherHe eyed his mother hoping against hope that she would pretend to accepthis suggestion but alas she was severely unimaginativeNow darling dont talk foolishly You know perfectly that is only afeather which has worked its way out of your pillowWhyThe monosyllable had served Mark well in its time but even as he fellback upon this stale resource he knew it had failed at lastI cant stay to explain why now but if you try to think youllunderstand whyMother if I dont have any gas at all will you sit with me in thedark for a little

COPRINTED AND SOLD FOR THE PUBLISHER BYHENRY WATKINSPRINTER 225 227 WEST FIFTH STREET CINCINNATI OHIO1856INTRODUCTIONThe first domestication of the horse one of the greatest achievements ofman in the animal kingdom was not the work of a day but like all othergreat accomplishments was brought about by a gradual process ofdiscoveries and experiments He first subdued the more subordinateanimals on account of their being easily caught and tamed and used formany years the mere drudges the ox the ass and the camel instead ofthe fleet and elegant horse This noble animal was the last brought intosubjection owing perhaps to mans limited and inaccurate knowledge ofhis nature and his consequent inability to control him This fact aloneis sufficient evidence of his superiority over all other animalsMan in all his inventions and discoveries has almost invariablycommenced with some simple principle and gradually developed it from onedegree of perfection to another The first hint that we have of the use ofelectricity was Franklins drawing it from the clouds with his kite Nowit is the instrument of conveying thought from mind to mind with arapidity that surpasses time The great propelling power that drives thewheel of the engine over our land and ploughs the ocean with oursteamers was first discovered escaping from a teakettle And so thepowers of the horse second only to the powers of steam became known toman only as experiments and investigation revealed themThe horse according to the best accounts we can gather has been theconstant servant of man for nearly four thousand years ever rewarding himwith his labor and adding to his comfort in proportion to his skill andmanner of using him but being to those who govern him by brute force andknow nothing of the beauty and delight to be gained from the cultivationof his finer nature a fretful vicious and often dangerous servantwhilst to the Arabs whose horse is the pride of his life and who governshim by the law of kindness we find him to be quite a different animalThe manner in which he is treated from a foal gives him an affection andattachment for his master not known in any other country The Arab and hischildren the mare and her foal inhabit the tent together and althoughthe foal and the mares neck are often pillows for the children to rollupon no accident ever occurs the mare being as careful of the childrenas of the colt Such is the mutual attachment between the horse and hismaster that he will leave his companions at his masters call ever gladto obey his voice And when the Arab falls from his horse and is unableto rise again he will stand by him and neigh for assistance and if helays down to sleep as fatigue sometimes compels him to do in the midst ofthe desert his faithful steed will watch over him and neigh to arousehim if man or beast approaches The Arabs frequently teach their horsessecret signs or signals which they make use of on urgent occasions tocall forth their utmost exertions These are more efficient than thebarbarous mode of urging them on with the spur and whip a forcibleillustration of which will be found in the following anecdoteA Bedouin named Jabal possessed a mare of great celebrity Hassad Pachathen Governor of Damascus wished to buy the animal and repeatedly madethe owner the most liberal offers which Jabal steadily refused The Pachathen had recourse to threats but with no better success At length oneGafar a Bedouin of another tribe presented himself to the Pacha andasked what he would give the man who should make him master of Jabalsmare I will fill his horses nosebag with gold replied Hassad Theresult of this interview having gone abroad Jabal became more watchfulthan ever and always secured his mare at night with an iron chain oneend of which was fastened to her hind fetlock whilst the other afterpassing through the tent cloth was attached to a picket driven in theground under the felt that served himself and wife for a bed But onemidnight Gafar crept silently into the tent and succeeded in looseningthe chain Just before starting off with his prize he caught up Jabalslance and poking him with the butt end cried out I am Gafar I havestolen your noble mare and will give you notice in time This warningwas in accordance with the customs of the Desert for to rob a hostiletribe is considered an honorable exploit and the man who accomplishes itis desirous of all the glory that may flow from the deed Poor Jabal whenhe heard the words rushed out of the tent and gave the alarm thenmounting his brothers mare accompanied by some of his tribe he pursuedthe robber for four hours The brothers mare was of the same stock asJabals but was not equal to her nevertheless he outstripped those ofall the other pursuers and was even on the point of overtaking therobber when Jabal shouted to him Pinch her right ear and give her atouch of the heel Gafar did so and away went the mare like lightningspeedily rendering further pursuit hopeless The _pinch in the ear_ andthe _touch with the heel_ were the secret signs by which Jabal had beenused to urge his mare to her utmost speed Jabals companions were amazedand indignant at his strange conduct O thou father of a jackass theycried thou hast helped the thief to rob thee of thy jewel But hesilenced their upbraidings by saying I would rather lose her than sullyher reputation Would you have me suffer it to be said among the tribesthat another mare had proved fleeter than mine I have at least thiscomfort left me that I can say she never met with her matchDifferent countries have their different modes of horsemanship butamongst all of them its first practice was carried on in but a rude andindifferent way being hardly	7

DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTSAND LITERATURE IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHYDEPARTMENT OF ENGLISHBYOSCAR LUDVIG OLSONA Private EditionDistributed By The University of Chicago LibrariesA Trade Edition Is Published By The Society forthe Advancement of Scandinavian Study1916THE RELATION OF THE HRÓLFS SAGA KRAKA AND THE BJARKARÍMUR TO BEOWULFA CONTRIBUTION TO THE HISTORY OF SAGA DEVELOPMENT IN ENGLAND AND THESCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIESPREFACEIt was at the suggestion of Professor John M Manly that I took up thestudy which has resulted in the following dissertation and from him Ihave received much encouragement and valuable assistance on numerousoccasions I have profited by suggestions received from Professor TomPeete Cross and Professor James R Hulbert and Professor Chester NGould has been unstinting in his kindness in permitting me to draw onhis knowledge of the Old Norse language and literature In addition tothe aid received from these gentlemen professors in the University ofChicago I have received bibliographical information and helpfulsuggestions from Professor Frederick Klaeber of the University ofMinnesota I have been aided in various ways by Professor George TFlom of the University of Illinois particularly in preparing themanuscript for the press and from others I have had assistance inreading proof To all these gentlemen I am very grateful and I takethis opportunity to extend to them my sincere thanksINTRODUCTORYThe following pages are the result of an investigation that has grownout of a study of _Beowulf_ The investigation has been prosecutedmainly with a view to ascertaining as definitely as possible therelationship between the AngloSaxon poem and the _Hrólfs Saga Kraka_and has involved special consideration of two portions of the saganamely the _Boðvarsþáttr_ and the _Fróðaþáttr_ and such portions ofthe early literature in England and the Scandinavian countries as seemto bear some relationship to the stories contained in these twoportions of the saga Some of the results achieved may seem to beoutside the limits of the main theme But they are not without valuein this connection for they throw light on the manner in which the_Hrólfssaga_ and some of the other compositions in question came toassume the form in which we now find them Thus these results assistus in determining the extent to which the saga and the _Bjarkarímur_are related to _Beowulf_As the field under consideration has been the object of investigation bya number of scholars much that otherwise would need to be explained toprepare the way for what is to be presented lies ready at hand and thisis used as a foundation on which to build furtherIn order to give the reader who is interested in the subject but hasnot made a special study of it an idea of the problems involved andthe solutions that have been offered the discussion is preceded by abrief summary of the

Commonwealth_THE TUSCULAN DISPUTATIONSINTRODUCTIONIn the year AUC 708 and the sixtysecond year of Ciceros age hisdaughter Tullia died in childbed and her loss afflicted Cicero tosuch a degree that he abandoned all public business and leaving thecity retired to Asterra which was a country house that he had nearAntium where after a while he devoted himself to philosophicalstudies and besides other works he published his Treatise deFinibus and also this treatise called the Tusculan Disputations ofwhich Middleton gives this concise descriptionThe first book teaches us how to contemn the terrors of death and tolook upon it as a blessing rather than an evilThe second to support pain and affliction with a manly fortitudeThe third to appease all our complaints and uneasinesses under theaccidents of lifeThe fourth to moderate all our other passionsAnd the fifth explains the sufficiency of virtue to make men happyIt was his custom in the opportunities of his leisure to take somefriends with him into the country where instead of amusing themselveswith idle sports or feasts their diversions were wholly speculativetending to improve the mind and enlarge the understanding In thismanner he now spent five days at his Tusculan villa in discussing withhis friends the several questions just mentioned For after employingthe mornings in declaiming and rhetorical exercises they used toretire in the afternoon into a gallery called the Academy which hehad built for the purpose of philosophical conferences where afterthe manner of the Greeks he held a school as they called it andinvited the company to call for any subject that they desired to hearexplained which being proposed accordingly by some of the audiencebecame immediately the argument of that days debate These fiveconferences or dialogues he collected afterward into writing in thevery words and manner in which they really passed and published themunder the title of his Tusculan Disputations from the name of thevilla in which they were held BOOK ION THE CONTEMPT OF DEATHI At a time when I had entirely or to a great degree released myselffrom my labors as an advocate and from my duties as a senator I hadrecourse again Brutus principally by your advice to those studieswhich never had been out of my mind although neglected at times andwhich after a long interval I resumed and now since the principlesand rules of all arts which relate to living well depend on the studyof wisdom which is called philosophy I have thought it an employmentworthy of me to illustrate them in the Latin tongue not becausephilosophy could not be understood in the Greek language or by theteaching of Greek masters but it has always been my opinion that ourcountrymen have in some instances made wiser discoveries than theGreeks with reference to those subjects which they have consideredworthy of devoting their attention to and in others have improved upontheir discoveries so that in one way or other we surpass them on everypoint for with regard to the manners and habits of private life andfamily and domestic affairs we certainly manage them with moreelegance and better than they did and as to our republic that ourancestors have beyond all dispute formed on better customs and lawsWhat shall I say of our military affairs in which our ancestors havebeen most eminent in valor and still more so in discipline As tothose things which are attained not by study but nature neitherGreece nor any nation is comparable to us for what people hasdisplayed such gravity such steadiness such greatness of soulprobity faithsuch distinguished virtue of every kind as to be equalto our ancestors In learning indeed and all kinds of literatureGreece did excel us and it was easy to do so where there was nocompetition for while among the Greeks the poets were the most ancientspecies of learned mensince Homer and Hesiod lived before thefoundation of Rome and Archilochus1 was a contemporary ofRomuluswe received poetry much later For it was about five hundredand ten years after the building of Rome before Livius2 published aplay in the consulship of C Claudius the son of Cæcus and MTuditanus a year before the birth of Ennius who was older thanPlautus and NæviusII It was therefore late before poets were either known or receivedamong us though we find in Cato de Originibus that the guests used attheir entertainments to sing the praises of famous men to the sound ofthe flute but a speech of Catos shows this kind of poetry to havebeen in no great esteem as he censures Marcus Nobilior for carryingpoets with him into his province for that	28
