- LICHFIELD CATHEDRAL.
-
-The first authentic mention of Lichfield occurs in Bede’s Ecclesiastical
-History, where it is alluded to as the See of an Anglo-Saxon Bishop. The
-name is of Saxon origin, but its etymology has been much disputed. In
-the Saxon Chronicle the word is written _Licetfeld_; in Bede,
-_Lyccetfelth_ and _Licitfeld_. Some etymologists derive its
-signification from _leccian_, to water (and it is well known to have
-abounded in numerous lakes and pools); others, from the verb _licean_ or
-_lician_, to like, or to be agreeable, and therefore make it to signify
-Pleasant Field. It has however been more frequently allowed to be
-derived from _lic_, a dead body, and consequently as signifying
-_cadaverum campus_, the Field of Dead Bodies. This derivation is
-supported by a prevailing tradition, of the martyrdom of a thousand
-British Christians on this spot, at the time of the persecution (A. D.
-303) under Dioclesian, when Maximian was governor of Britain.
-
-It is certain that the present diocese of Lichfield and Coventry,
-anciently formed a part of the kingdom of Mercia, which, being conquered
-by (the _Christian King_) Oswy, introduced the Christian faith into this
-powerful kingdom of the Saxon Heptarchy. He made Lichfield an episcopal
-See, by appointing Diuma, a Scotsman, the first Bishop, A. D. 656. After
-a succession of three others, the famous Ceadda, or Chad, was raised to
-the Bishopric A. D. 667. Bede informs us, that “he had built himself an
-habitation not far removed from the church; wherein he was wont to pray,
-and read with a few, that is, seven or eight, of the brethren, as often
-as he had any spare time from the labour and ministry of the word.”
-
-From this period, little is known of the history of the See till after
-the Norman Conquest, when at the National Council held in London, A. D.
-1075, it was determined to remove the See of Lichfield to Chester, which
-was done by Peter (the first bishop appointed by William the Conqueror),
-who went by the appellation of Bishop of Chester and Lichfield. Robert
-de Lymesey was his successor, and removed the See to Coventry, having
-obtained from the King, the custody of that Abbey (originally founded by
-Canute); this edifice having been restored and greatly enriched by
-Leofric, Earl of Hereford, and his celebrated wife Lady Godiva. Robert
-Peeke, chaplain to Henry the First, was consecrated to this See, A. D.
-1117, and was succeeded, 1128, by Roger de Clinton, who was a liberal
-benefactor both to the city and Cathedral church of Lichfield. He is
-said to have rebuilt great part at the latter, to have increased the
-number of Prebendaries, and to have appointed the first Canons. De
-Clinton restored the See to Lichfield, and styled himself Bishop of
-Lichfield and Coventry. Until the establishment of Chester as a separate
-See, A. D. 1542, the succeeding bishops were indifferently called
-Bishops of Lichfield, Coventry, and Chester, having an episcopal
-residence at each place. Coventry and Lichfield was the usual
-designation till Bishop Hacket, on the restoration of the monarchy,
-placed Lichfield before Coventry, as a compliment to the loyalty of the
-former place. Walter de Langton succeeded to the See in 1295, and did
-much benefit to the city, forming streets, causeways, &c.; he augmented
-the income of the Vicars, expended 2000_l._ on a shrine for St. Chad,
-and rebuilt the Bishop’s Palace, giving the old episcopal house to the
-Vicars Choral.
-
-In the time of Henry the Eighth, the Cathedral became a prey to
-depredation; its ornaments, statues, shrines, and all other valuable
-articles were converted to the use of the crown, with the exception of
-the shrine of St. Ceadda; this was saved by the intercession of the
-Bishop, Rowland Lea, who obtained it from the King. This prelate
-earnestly endeavoured to save the monastery of Coventry, and its fine
-church, from spoliation, but in this his labour was fruitless, and they
-were entirely demolished.
-
-Little of interest occurs afterwards in the historical details of
-Lichfield, till the commencement of the civil wars. In 1642, a troop was
-raised for King Charles by Sir Richard Dyott, Kt.: during this time the
-Close sustained three sieges, by which the Cathedral was greatly
-injured. Preparations to considerable extent were made, 1643, to defend
-the Close against Lord Brooke, and three thousand troops. This nobleman
-was a zealous opposer of episcopacy, and had determined on the complete
-destruction of the Cathedral; on his _approach_ to Lichfield he prayed
-that he might be annihilated if his cause were unjust; on his _return_
-from placing his artillery, he was shot by a brace of bullets,
-discharged by a deaf and dumb gentleman, of the name of Dyott, who had
-watched Lord Brooke’s motions from the top of the cathedral. Lord
-Brooke’s body was removed to Warwick to be buried with his ancestors;
-the armour worn by him on this fatal day, and his doublet stained with
-blood, are in the armoury at Warwick Castle. The gun with which he was
-killed remains in possession of the Dyott family, resident near
-Lichfield.
-
-Notwithstanding the check given to the rebels by the death of their
-leader, the garrison could not long stand the siege, and were
-constrained to yield to the Parliamentary forces. This was the first
-cathedral which surrendered to them, and every species of havoc and
-profanation was committed by these miscreants. The soldiers belonging to
-the King’s party were imprisoned in the Cathedral three days and four
-nights without food, except what could privately be obtained, and the
-inclemency of the season obliged them to convert the seats and desks
-into fuel. At this period the venerable pile became one scene of
-desolation, the centre spire was battered down, the costly monuments
-destroyed, and amongst others, that of Lord Paget, sculptured in Italy
-at the enormous expense of 700_l._ Dugdale says, “courts of guard were
-kept in the aisles; they broke up the pavement, every day hunted a cat
-with hounds throughout the Church, delighting themselves in the echo
-from the goodly vaulted roof, and to add to their wickedness, brought a
-calf into it wrapt in linen, carried it to the font, sprinkled it with
-water, and gave it a name in scorn and derision of that holy sacrament,
-Baptism; and when Prince Rupert recovered that Church by force, Colonel
-Russel, the governor, carried away the communion-plate and linen, with
-whatsoever else was of value.”
-
-The Close was retaken by Prince Rupert in 1643, and Colonel Hawey Bagot
-was appointed Governor of the garrison; he had the honour of
-entertaining Charles the First, after the battle of Naseby, when his
-majesty left Ashby-de-la-Zouch, and slept at Governor Bagot’s, in
-Lichfield, on the 15th of June 1645; this unfortunate monarch twice
-afterwards revisited this city; but short was its period of
-tranquillity, for in 1646, the Close was again taken by the
-Parliamentary forces, under Sir William Brereton, and its walls
-dismantled. In 1651, by authority of the Rump Parliament, men were
-employed to strip off the lead from the roof of the Cathedral, and break
-in pieces the Bells[1]. It may not be uninteresting to remark on the
-heavy afflictions, or violent deaths, suffered by many of the spoliators
-of the Church of those days; among others, Colonel Danvers who stripped
-the roof, and Pickings who demolished the bells, met with untimely ends.
-
-We find that although the building was in this dilapidated state, its
-ministers did not neglect their duties, and Ashmole has the following
-memorandum. “This morning Mr. Rawlings of Lichfield told me, that the
-vicars of the Cathedral had entered the Chapter-house, and there said
-service; that this, with the Vestry, was the only place in the church
-that had a roof to shelter them.” On the Restoration, Dr. John Hacket
-was happily appointed prelate: he found the church little better than a
-heap of ruins, but, zealous in the cause of religion, he immediately set
-to work with an activity rarely equalled. The morning after his arrival,
-he employed his own coach horses to remove the rubbish, and took the
-most vigorous measures to obtain assistance; petitioning from house to
-house for pecuniary aid, and being himself a liberal benefactor. By his
-unwearied diligence and munificence, the Cathedral in the space of eight
-years had nearly regained its original splendour, and was re-consecrated
-in 1669. The intrepid character of this admirable man may be shown by
-the following anecdote.—Hacket was preaching in London, during the
-persecution of the established Church, and although the Liturgy was
-proscribed, under a severe penalty, he continued the use of it; at
-length, an armed sergeant and trooper were sent to the church to compel
-his obedience, but he, with a firm voice and unintimidated manner, read
-the service as he was wont to do; and when the soldiers, placing a
-pistol at his head, threatened him with instant death, he calmly
-replied, “Soldiers, I am doing my duty, do you do yours!” then with a
-voice equally composed, he resumed the prayers. The soldiers, awe-struck
-by his pious courage, left the church in astonishment!
-
-From Bishop Hacket’s time, the Cathedral underwent little alteration
-till the year 1788, when the building being acknowledged to be in a very
-dilapidated state, subscriptions were raised to repair and renovate it.
-Under the direction of Mr. Wyatt, the external structure was put in good
-order, and the internal decorations restored and embellished. The beauty
-and magnificence of the edifice has since been greatly enhanced, by the
-addition of some painted windows, from the dissolved Abbey of
-Herckenrode in Germany: this valuable purchase was obtained by the Dean
-and Chapter, through the liberality of the late Sir Brooke Boothby, who
-made the acquisition when travelling on the Continent, for the small sum
-of 200_l._, and generously transferred to them his bargain, estimated at
-10,000_l._ These windows were painted at the period when the art had
-attained its highest degree of perfection, and are considered by
-connoisseurs as very valuable and choice specimens. Several modern
-windows of superior merit, have also been inserted, by the present Dean,
-Dr. Woodhouse, and others interested in the embellishment of the
-venerable pile. The large window at the west, which had been totally
-destroyed during the civil wars, and restored by James the Second when
-Duke of York, has been filled with painted glass, from a legacy of Dr.
-Addenbroke, who died Dean of this Cathedral, in 1776.
-
-Although this Cathedral cannot compete in size and magnificence with
-York and some others, in point of elegance it is inferior to none, and
-its light and beautiful architecture is the theme of universal
-admiration. The building is in form of a cross, having a large spire at
-the intersection of the cross, and two smaller ones at the west end; the
-pyramidal form of the western façade, enriched with highly wrought
-decorations and tracery, is eminently beautiful; neither must the centre
-porch be forgotten, being no less worthy of notice. The external length
-of the church is 400 feet, and the breadth in the transept 187 feet. The
-Nave and Aisles are good specimens of the simple yet exquisite taste of
-the architecture of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries; the
-clustered columns, delicately moulded arches, and vaulted roof, impress
-the beholder with a solemn and pleasing effect. Amongst the numerous
-monuments, we must give the first place to that of the Cathedral’s
-greatest benefactor, the good and pious Bishop Hacket: it consists of a
-recumbent figure, and at the head is engraved the following appropriate
-inscription; “I will not suffer mine eyes to sleep, till I have found
-out a place for the temple of the Lord.” But the monument which attracts
-the eager attention of all admirers of the sculptorial art, is that
-erected to the memory of the two Miss Robinsons; it is considered a
-_chef-d’œuvre_ of Chantrey’s, and certainly has rarely been equalled for
-beauty of design and workmanship. The remains of many celebrated
-characters are recorded within these walls—that colossus of literature,
-Dr. Johnson, justly the pride and boast of Lichfield: Lady Mary Wortley
-Montague, who so greatly benefited mankind by the introduction of the
-art of Inoculation. Gilbert Walmesley, Dr. Smalbroke, Dean Addison,
-David Garrick, and Andrew Newton, who founded and endowed the noble
-institution in the Close, for the widows and orphans of Clergy; for this
-purpose, he gave, by will and donation, the sum of forty thousand
-pounds.
-
-The Diocese of Lichfield and Coventry, was in early times of very great
-extent; it is now much more limited, but contains the whole county of
-Stafford (except Brome and Clent, which belong to Worcester), all
-Derbyshire, the greater part of Warwickshire, and nearly half of
-Shropshire. It has the Archdeaconries of Salop, Coventry, Stafford and
-Derby. In the reign of King John, permission was granted to the Bishop
-of Lichfield and Coventry to build a castle at Eccleshall, and this has
-generally been, as it now is, the residence of the Bishop. There is also
-a palace in Lichfield belonging to the See; the present one was erected
-in 1687, by Bishop Wood, on the ground occupied by the garden of
-Langton’s Palace (of which there are no remains), and was built in
-compliance with an order from Archbishop Sancroft, as compensation for
-damage committed upon property belonging to the See.
-
-Lichfield being situated on the road between London and Liverpool (now
-so much the line of communication with our sister country), is much
-frequented by travellers; and few places are more interesting to the
-lover of literature, having been either the natal spot, or home, of so
-many distinguished for learned attainments. Every one capable of
-appreciating the profound wisdom and moral energy of Johnson, must feel
-a reverence and respect for the place where he first drew breath. Thomas
-Newton, Bishop of Bristol, brother to Andrew Newton, whom we have
-already mentioned, and the learned author of _Dissertations on the
-Prophecies_, was a native of this city; as was also that famous
-virtuoso, Elias Ashmole, the contributor of a valuable collection of
-curiosities and MSS. to the University of Oxford, now assembled in the
-Ashmolean Museum. Here was the paternal residence of that elegant
-scholar, Addison; and in addition to the names already brought forward,
-Lichfield could boast amongst its inhabitants the eccentric James Day,
-author of _Sandford and Merton_, Mr. and Miss Edgeworth, Dr. Darwin, of
-botanical celebrity, and several others of highly esteemed intellectual
-powers.
-
-[Illustration: WOODCROFT HOUSE, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.]
-
-
-
-
- WOODCROFT HOUSE,
-
-
-Of which we furnish a view from the pencil of Mr. Blore, is situated in
-the parish of Etton, in Northamptonshire, about four miles from the city
-of Peterborough. This building well deserves notice as an early and
-perfect specimen of English domestic architecture. The form of the
-windows is peculiar to the time of the first two Edwards, and the
-character of the mouldings evidently points out that period, as the date
-of its erection. The masonry is remarkably well executed, and the
-mouldings beautifully worked; those forming the finish of the Tower,
-over the entrance, are distinguished by a boldness rarely to be met
-with. Originally, this must have been a place of some strength; it was
-surrounded by water, excepting at the western approach, and the walls
-are four feet in thickness. Though nothing remains of an embattled
-parapet, there can be little doubt but that it possessed such provision
-for defence, and that in this, as in other respects, it partook of the
-character of the mansion-houses of the age.
-
-The round bastion at the north end, represented in the drawing, is that
-portion of the building to which an interesting historical incident is
-attached; one of those events, which are the melancholy, and certain
-fruits of anarchy and civil war.
-
-Dr. Michael Hudson, who is styled by Wood, “an understanding and sober
-person, and of great fidelity,” was, from his sincerity, called by King
-Charles the First, his “plain-dealing Chaplain.” When the troubles of
-that period commenced, Hudson, like some others of his profession, left
-his benefice, under an impression that his monarch demanded his personal
-aid; and King Charles having, as we are told, “an especial respect for
-his signal loyalty and courage,” intrusted him with some important
-secrets, as regarded his own proceedings. Hudson proved himself a
-courageous soldier, but, being apprehended by the Parliamentary forces,
-he suffered a tedious confinement. Escaping from his prison in London,
-he joined a body of royalists, who had fled to Woodcroft House. When
-attacked there by the Parliamentary forces, Hudson, with some of his
-bravest soldiers, went up to the battlements, where they defended
-themselves for some time. At length they yielded, upon the promise of
-quarter; but when the rebels were admitted, they broke their engagement.
-Hudson was forced over the battlements, and clung to one of the stone
-spouts represented in the drawing. His hands being either actually cut
-off, or severely hacked and bruised by the sabres of the soldiers, he
-quitted his hold and fell into the moat underneath, desiring only to
-reach the land and die there; but this miserable boon was denied him,
-as, in attempting to reach the bank, he was knocked on the head with the
-but-end of a musket, and drowned[2].
-
-May we never, by God’s blessing, witness a recurrence of the scenes
-which were presented at this eventful period of our history! Our great
-dramatic poet, who showed his patriotism, by always giving to his
-countrymen the wisest counsel, and encouraging correct sentiments
-respecting justice and good government, thus beautifully describes a
-kingdom, restored to the blessings of internal tranquillity.
-
- No more shall trenching war channel her fields,
- Nor bruise her flow’rets with the armed hoofs
- Of hostile paces: those opposed eyes,
- Which, like the meteors of a troubled heaven,
- _All of one nature, of one substance bred_,
- Did lately meet in the intestine shock
- And furious close of civil butchery,
- Shall now, in mutual, well-beseeming ranks,
- March all one way; and be no more oppos’d
- _Against acquaintance, kindred, and allies_;
- The edge of war, like an ill-sheathed knife,
- No more shall cut his master.—_Henry IV._, Part I.

- SYMBOLICAL WRITING.
-
-
-It would seem that the earliest of all written language consisted of
-actual drawings of the forms of animals or things; rudely sketched,
-indeed, by the hands of our rude forefathers, but sufficiently plain to
-mark the object designed. This mode appears the more natural, because
-the representation of sounds, which express the names of things, by
-certain characters or alphabets, which is the mode now most extensively
-in use, must necessarily require some previous concert between two
-parties, the one of whom suggests, and the other agrees, that a
-particular mark or form on paper shall be the symbol for a particular
-sound. But if we suppose a savage separated from his friend, and wishing
-to communicate with him, without having had this previous consultation,
-and supposing that he has lent his distant acquaintance some articles of
-furniture, such as his bow and arrows, or his knife, which he is anxious
-to have returned, without the knowledge of his messenger, it seems
-highly probable, that his first impulse would be to make a rude sketch
-of these articles, and transmit the impression to his friend. Were the
-latter an acute man he would probably understand the allusion; and, were
-he not intelligent enough for this purpose, it is clear he would not be
-nearly sufficiently so to comprehend the symbols to denote sounds. So
-that the simplicity of this mode of writing might suggest the
-probability of its being the first resorted to, without alluding to the
-hieroglyphics yet remaining on the Egyptian tombs, which, from our want
-of acquaintance with the manners, customs, and general objects with
-which the Egyptians were conversant, are very difficult to decipher, if
-we may judge from the learning expended in explaining them. As a modern
-specimen of this kind of writing, it may not be uninteresting to
-describe a letter which M. Martinez received from an inhabitant of the
-Caroline Islands, in the Eastern Ocean. The following is the drawing of
-the letter alluded to, and the description is taken from FREYCINET and
-ARAGO’S _Voyage_.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-“This was written to M. Martinez, at Rotta, who had commissioned a Tamor
-of Sathoual to send him some shells, promising in exchange a few pieces
-of iron. The captain gave him the sheet of paper, the original of which
-is in my possession, and is in red characters. The figure at the top of
-the letter was placed there as the bearer of compliments: the branch
-under him is the type of peace and amity: the marks in the column on the
-left hand indicate the sort of shells the Carolinian had sent to M.
-Martinez. In the column on the right, are placed the objects he desired
-in exchange; namely, three large fishing hooks, four small ones, two
-pieces of iron of the shape of axes, and two pieces a little longer.”
-This curiously-expressed request was gratified, and many handsome shells
-obtained in return.
-
-This is, perhaps, as clear an instance as can be found, of the mode in
-which an unlettered people would endeavour to convey the expression of
-their wishes to their friends at a distance, and forms a striking
-contrast to the elegant though complicated process of our own method of
-writing.
-
-In the written language of the Chinese, a great proof of its having
-originated in this picture-writing, may yet be seen by a little
-attention to the forms of their characters, and is, perhaps, the only
-language now generally in practice, in which these early symbols are
-discernible, though some have attempted to explain the Hebrew language
-in the same way, by maintaining that the letters composing the Alphabet
-were at first characters or drawings of things. In the modern Chinese,
-however, much of the early rude formation of the characters has been
-altered, arising, probably, in some degree, from a greater improvement
-in taste inducing the nation to alter these rough to more elegant forms,
-and partly from the facility of writing requiring the scribe, in some
-cases, to strike off, and in others to connect, various parts of the
-original figure. Thus, the present Chinese character for ‘a man,’ is
-[Illustration] which was originally drawn [Illustration] or
-[Illustration] or [Illustration]; here it is plain that, by lopping
-off some of the limbs of this rude representative of the human species,
-we leave something like the form of the present character, though it
-would appear, that a long succession of ages must have polished the
-rough material to the improved shape which it now possesses. Again, the
-character to denote ‘the ear,’ was formerly drawn [Illustration] which
-is now softened into the present form, thus [Illustration]. ‘A range of
-hills,’ or ‘mound,’ at first drawn [Illustration] has now become
-[Illustration]. ‘The sun,’ [Illustration] is now [Illustration]. The
-reader’s ingenuity may be exercised and amused, and he will be enabled
-to see how far the preceding remarks are well-grounded, if we present
-him with a few of the original drawings, placed side by side with the
-characters into which they have been gradually altered, and which are
-now in general use.
-
-The numbers one, two, three, and four, remain the same, being the
-simplest form which can be devised, to maintain the connexion of the
-drawing with the idea conceived. [Illustration] One, [Illustration]
-Two, [Illustration] Three, [Illustration] Four.
-
- Ancient form. Present character.
-
- [Illustration] the human face. [Illustration]
-
- [Illustration] the moon. [Illustration]
-
- [Illustration] rain. [Illustration]
-
- [Illustration] the eye. [Illustration]
-
- [Illustration] an arrow. [Illustration]
-
- [Illustration] the mouth. [Illustration]
-
- [Illustration] the tongue in the [Illustration]
- midst of the mouth.
-
- [Illustration] the teeth. [Illustration]
-
-In order to save a multiplicity of characters, a single one is often
-placed in various positions, to convey ideas which it would be very
-difficult, and often impossible, to express by a simple drawing of the
-object: for instance, how could the idea of ‘a corpse’ be represented on
-paper; the figure of a man, it is easily seen, is not sufficient, since
-we cannot tell, from looking at a picture so unfinished as the rapidity
-of writing would demand, whether the breath be in or out of the body;
-they, therefore, take the figure for man we have before seen, and lay it
-prostrate, thus [Illustration]. The figure to represent a rock
-[Illustration] is supposed to imply a rock jutting over, and affording
-shelter, and from this was formed the following to denote ‘a stone,’
-[Illustration], that is, as it were, a portion cut out of the rock;
-hence, to imply a heap of stones, the form [Illustration] would readily
-suggest itself. On the same principle it would be very difficult to
-describe hail in a sketch; but, by considering it (if we may be allowed
-the term) as hardened water, they add to the character denoting rain the
-appearance of solid drops falling; thus, ‘rain’ is expressed by
-[Illustration] and ‘hail’ thus [Illustration]. In representing the
-forms of animals, or things, no further accomplishment was necessary
-than accuracy of eye, and skill in delineating the various shapes; but
-much greater ingenuity is required in order to represent intangible or
-invisible substances, such as light, air, &c., or the qualities of
-things which we call by the term adjectives, such as those implying
-strength, weakness, or various actions, as to walk, to stop, to eat, to
-desire, &c., in fact, all kinds of verbs. This difficult matter is
-generally accomplished by the union of two or more simple forms, placed
-together in such a way, that their combination may suggest the idea
-required. To express brightness, the figures of the ‘sun’ and ‘moon’ are
-placed together [Illustration]. In the character which they employ to
-denote the adjective ‘aspiring,’ a man’s breath is represented as going
-out of the body and ascending [Illustration]. To hanker after or desire
-earnestly, is represented by this character of breath combined with
-water, corresponding, in fact, with our somewhat common phrase
-‘mouth-watering’ [Illustration]. The rather difficult character of a
-king is described by ‘one,’ [Illustration]; and the character for land
-[Illustration], or united [Illustration], implying the feudal idea of
-sovereignty, all the land belonging to one. The adverbs ‘above’ and
-‘below’ are very simply expressed, the former being [Illustration], and
-the latter [Illustration]. Crafty and intriguing finds its
-corresponding character in the little crooked symbol [Illustration].
-The idea of a family is very happily and prettily expressed by the
-symbol of a ‘house,’ under which three human beings are sheltered
-[Illustration]. Many more instances, and some very remarkable ones,
-might be adduced of this mode of representing complex ideas, by the
-union of two or more characters for simple objects. In fact, most of the
-words, perhaps, in common use in Chinese writing, might be divided, and
-subdivided, till the original simple ideas had been traced out, and the
-reason of their formation distinctly shown; but the progress of time and
-refinement, has so moulded and altered even the most simple characters
-in the language, that considerable research would be required to perform
-such a task so many ages after their original formation. The inventor of
-this species of writing amongst this singular nation is said to be
-Tsang-hëĕ, of whom tradition or invention has preserved the portrait;
-and, in order to convey to the mind of the spectator some idea of his
-depth of intellect, and extent of mental vision, they have expressly
-chosen to represent him as enjoying the privilege of _four_ eyes,
-instead of the number possessed by ordinary mortals.

-
- INTEMPERANCE.
-
-
-The histories of all nations show that, in the infancy of society, man
-has few wants. Food for the sustenance of life, clothing for the
-covering of his person, and a habitation to shelter him from the wind
-and the storm, form the chief objects of his desire; and these he is
-easily enabled to supply from the rich storehouse of nature, which the
-bountiful Creator has furnished for his use. The earth has never ceased
-to reward the industry of man; and his daily necessities being thus
-provided for, his future worldly wants occupy but a small share of his
-thoughts.
-
-As mankind multiply and associate together in cities and towns, their
-attention is directed to other means of procuring the necessaries of
-life. Trade, manufactures, and commerce offer ample opportunities for
-the exercise of talent and industry; and the simplicity and contentment
-of rural life are exchanged for a more artificial state of society. The
-accumulation of property henceforth becomes an object of general
-pursuit, and the busy mind of man is occupied in forming and digesting
-plans to ensure such a result. Should prosperity attend his
-undertakings, and crown his labours with increase, he will not be slow
-in acquiring a taste for additional comfort and enjoyment, which his
-improved circumstances have placed within his reach. Thus the wants of
-man increase with his means of satisfying them. They are no longer
-confined to the simple necessaries of life, but embrace those elegancies
-and luxuries which owe their origin to the increase of wealth, the
-refinement of education, and the intercourse of society. Surplus capital
-thus finds ample and ready means of occupation in ministering to the
-growing wants of the community. Various trades, arts and professions are
-introduced, which open up new sources of employment; a stimulus is given
-to industry, and the powers of the mind are brought into operation to
-diffuse information and instruction through the land. Thus national
-wealth, education, and refinement advance together; and the riches which
-found entrance in one direction, find their way, through various
-channels, to every ramification of society, as the blood which flows
-from the heart circulates through every part of the human system.
-
-So long as surplus wealth thus extends, and promotes a nation’s
-prosperity, it is legitimately employed. But there are certain limits
-within which it ought to be confined. The morality, intelligence, and
-industry of the people are the bulwarks of national greatness; and if,
-by the introduction of any article of luxury or common diet, these
-barriers are weakened or thrown down, and the flood-gates of immorality,
-ignorance, and idleness opened, their dark tide will begin to flow, and
-threaten the best interests of the country. This result is shown by the
-histories of all those nations which reached the summit of wealth and
-power by the exercise of temperance, and whose downfall was hastened by
-their intemperance, producing idle and licentious habits, discord,
-effeminacy, and a spirit of dependence. Such were the Persians, the
-Greeks, and the Romans.
-
-Though there are distinctions of rank and station in society, there is a
-mutual dependence throughout the community at large, similar to the
-connexion existing among the members of the human body. “The eye cannot
-say unto the hand, I have no need of thee; nor the head to the feet, I
-have no need of you.” The man whom wealth has exempted from the common
-lot of humanity, “in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread,” is as
-dependent on the cultivator of the soil, the manufacturer, and the
-mechanic, as they are upon him. Hence all in their several stations are
-equally the guardians of the peace, happiness, and prosperity of the
-nation to which they belong; and it becomes both their duty and their
-interest, either to prevent the introduction of any traffic of an
-injurious character, or to expel that from the land which may have been
-found to have such a tendency.
-
-The facility with which ardent spirits are obtained in this country,
-cannot but be regarded as the cause of those habits of intemperance
-which deface the fair page of our moral history. Drunkenness prevails to
-a lamentable extent throughout the land, and is the fruitful source of
-idleness, poverty, immorality, and crime. So far from being diminished,
-it seems rather on the increase; and the fearful change which it has
-wrought in the character of our artisans and labouring population, calls
-for the adoption of some measure to arrest its course.
-
-Ardent spirits are destructive of health, property, and morals; unfit to
-be used by persons in health, being destitute of any nutritious quality;
-and the traffic in them is injurious to the prosperity of the country.
-Besides the misery which the use of them inflicts on individuals and
-families, it greatly augments the national expenditure. It increases the
-poor’s rates by increasing pauperism; it enhances the expense of
-judicial proceedings by promoting crime; and our hospitals and lunatic
-asylums are indebted to the same cause for by far the greater proportion
-of their wretched inmates. If the money wasted in the purchase of this
-worse than useless superfluity, were spent on articles of real utility,
-a stimulus would be given to trade, manufactures, and commerce.
-
-Such being the consequences of the traffic in ardent spirits, as proved
-by incontrovertible evidence, the welfare of the nation calls for its
-suppression. This must be accomplished, not by an appeal to the
-legislature for an Act of Parliament to abolish the trade, but by
-enlightened public opinion. If the community be convinced of the noxious
-qualities of ardent spirit, and the vicious and immoral consequences to
-which habits of drinking lead, they will cease to buy, and the traffic
-must come to an end. But this object cannot be attained till the nation
-rise as one man to crush this enemy to its happiness. This is the result
-which the institutions called TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES aim to accomplish.
-The means they employ is simply the diffusion of information through the
-land, with a view to correct public opinion, and unite men and women in
-the practice of total abstinence from distilled spirits as an article of
-ordinary use. They act upon the well-established maxim that prevention
-is better than cure; and their first solicitation is to gain the
-countenance and support of the sober, temperate, respectable, and
-influential classes of the community, whose combined example may operate
-upon the mass of the population. Such being their principle and object,
-they deserve the support and assistance of every friend to humanity and
-every lover of his country.

- A DEVONSHIRE SKETCH.
- BY THE LATE REV. JOHN MARRIOTT, OF BROADCLYST
-
-
- Ye green hills of Devon! I love to look o’er ye;
- The glow of your verdure refreshes my sight!
- In the wild and majestic let Westmoreland glory;
- But yours is the palm of more tranquil delight.
-
- Not that robes of rich beauty, in which Nature dresses
- Her features of boldness, your limits disown;
- To him who could deem so, deep Lymouth’s recesses,
- And Dart’s rocky borders, must all be unknown.
-
- But your own proper boast is the Combe, neatly rounded,
- Which preserves through all seasons its emerald hue;
- Whilst the dews, o’er the uplands by which it is bounded,
- Impart, in soft contrast, the mist’s tender blue;
-
- Not deserted, though lonely: the vale in its centre,
- Girt with Barn and rough Linhay, encloses a farm;
- And o’er the warm nook of its deepest indenture,
- The orchard’s fair bloom sheds its fugitive charm.
-
- An eye little used to such leafy profusion,
- Might fancy yon hedge-row one wide-waving wood;
- And furze and plumed fern, as to aid the illusion,
- Here and there on the tameness of culture intrude.
-
- But wildest the mixture of shrub, bush, and bramble,
- And sweetest the scent which the wild flowers breathe,
- Where the birchen-banks mark the stream’s devious ramble,
- And the ear drinks its musical murmurs beneath.
-
- How soothing the sense of serenity stealing
- O’er the mind, whilst on plenty and peace thus we gaze!
- Less grateful, perhaps, though more lively, the feeling
- Awaken’d by prospects that awe and amaze.
-
- If in those we acknowledge the symbols of greatness;
- If earth’s pillars its Maker’s omnipotence prove;
- In these let us hail Him, “whose clouds distil fatness,”
- And who crowneth the year with his goodness and love.
-

-
-
- THE MOCKING-BIRD. (_Turdus polyglottus._)
-
-
-The Mocking-bird is a species of thrush, not uncommon in many parts both
-of North and South America and the West India Islands. In size, it does
-not exceed the European song-bird, and perhaps is not equal to it in the
-beauty of its plumage; it is, however, far from being an inelegant
-creature, but it is better known for the peculiarity and amazing power
-of its voice. Although not gifted with any powerful weapons of
-self-defence, these birds display extraordinary courage in defence of
-their eggs and young, and will fearlessly attack any animal which may
-approach their haunts, even their greatest enemy, a species of black
-snake.
-
-“To these qualities” (says Wilson, the American author), “we may add
-that of a voice full, strong, and musical, and capable of almost every
-modulation, from the clear mellow tones of the wood-thrush, to the
-savage scream of the bald-eagle. In measure and accent, he faithfully
-follows his originals. In force and sweetness of expression, he greatly
-exceeds them. In his native groves, mounted on the top of a tall bush,
-or half-grown tree, in the dawn of dewy morning, while the woods are
-already vocal with a multitude of warblers, his admirable song rises
-pre-eminent over every competitor. The ear can listen to his music
-alone, to which that of all the others seems a mere accompaniment.
-Neither is this strain altogether imitative. His own native notes, which
-are easily distinguishable by such as are well acquainted with those of
-our various song-birds, are bold and full, and varied seemingly beyond
-all limits. His expanded wings and tail, glistening with white, and the
-buoyant gaiety of his action, arresting the eye as his song most
-irresistibly does the ear, he sweeps round with enthusiastic ecstacy. He
-mounts or descends as his song swells or dies away. While thus exerting
-himself, a bystander, destitute of sight, would suppose that the whole
-feathered tribes, had assembled together on a trial of skill, each
-striving to produce his utmost effect; so perfect are his imitations. He
-many times deceives the sportsman, and sends him in search of birds that
-perhaps are not within miles of him, but whose notes he exactly
-imitates; even birds themselves are frequently imposed on by this
-admirable mimic, and are decoyed by the fancied calls of their mates, or
-dive with precipitation into the depths of thickets, at the scream of
-what they suppose to be the sparrow-hawk.
-
-[Illustration: THE MOCKING BIRD.]
-
-“The mocking-bird loses little of the power and energy of his song by
-confinement. In his domesticated state, when he commences his career of
-song, it is impossible to stand by uninterested. He whistles for the
-dog—Cæsar starts up, wags his tail, and runs to meet his master; he
-squeaks out like a hurt chicken—and the hen hurries about, with hanging
-wings and bristled feathers, clucking to protect its injured brood. The
-barking of the dog, the mewing of the cat, the creaking of a passing
-wheelbarrow, follow, with great truth and rapidity. He repeats the tune
-taught him by his master, though of considerable length, fully and
-faithfully. He runs over the quiverings of the canary and the clear
-whistlings of the Virginia nightingale, or the redbird, with such
-superior execution and effect, that the mortified songsters feel their
-own inferiority and become altogether silent, while he seems to triumph
-in their defeat by redoubling his exertions.
-
-“Both in his native and domesticated state, during the solemn stillness
-of night, as soon as the moon rises in silent majesty, he begins his
-delightful solo; and serenades us the livelong night, with a full
-display of his vocal powers, making the whole neighbourhood ring with
-his inimitable melody.”
-
- * * * * *
-
-A lover of natural history cannot I think be a bad man, as the very
-study of it tends to promote a calmness and serenity of mind, favourable
-to the reception of grateful and holy thoughts of the great and good
-Parent of the universe. He cannot be a cruel man, because he will be
-unwilling wantonly to destroy even an insect, when he perceives how
-exquisitively each of them is contrived, and how curiously it is made
-for the station it is destined to fill in the animal world.—JESSE.

-
-Many methods have been suggested for saving life in cases of accidents
-on the water: the following was stated to me as an experiment actually
-made by the relater; he had thus supported himself in the sea, at
-Plymouth, for twenty minutes, and could have done it much longer. As
-danger of overturning or of sinking appears, have your hat in readiness,
-and place it under your chin, holding it with your hands in the same
-position upon the water as on the head. The air in the crown will
-prevent the water from rising, and is sufficient to keep the whole head
-above water.

-Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright
-law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works,
-so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United
-States without permission and without paying copyright
-royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part
-of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
-concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark,
-and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you receive
-specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of this
-eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook
-for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports,
-performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given
-away--you may do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks
-not protected by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the
-trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

-START: FULL LICENSE
-
-THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
-PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
-
-To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free

-(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
-Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full
-Project Gutenberg-tm License available with this file or online at
-www.gutenberg.org/license.
-
-Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
-and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
-(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
-the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or

-Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound
-by the terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the
-person or entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph
-1.E.8.
-
-1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
-used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
-agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
-things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
-paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this
-agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
-
-1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the
-Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
-of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual
-works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
-States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
-United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
-claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
-displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
-all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
-that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting
-free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm
-works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
-Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily
-comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
-same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when
-you share it without charge with others.
-
-1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
-what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
-in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
-check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
-agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
-distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
-other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no
-representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
-country outside the United States.
-
-1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
-
-1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other
-immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear
-prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work
-on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the
-phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,
-performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
-
- This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and
- most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
- restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it
- under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this
- eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the
- United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
- are located before using this ebook.
-
-1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
-contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
-copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
-the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
-redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project
-Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply
-either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or
-obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
-
-1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
-with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
-must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any
-additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms
-will be linked to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works
-posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the
-beginning of this work.
-
-1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
-License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
-work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
-
-1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
-electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
-prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
-active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm License.
-
-1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
-compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including
-any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access
-to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format
-other than "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official
-version posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site
-(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
-to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means
-of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original "Plain
-Vanilla ASCII" or other form. Any alternate format must include the
-full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
-
-1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
-performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
-unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
-
-1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
-access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-provided that
-
-* You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
- the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
- you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed
- to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has
- agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project
- Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid
- within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are
- legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty
- payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project
- Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in
- Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg
- Literary Archive Foundation."
-
-* You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
- you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
- does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
- License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
- copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
- all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm
- works.
-
-* You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of
- any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
- electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of
- receipt of the work.
-
-* You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
- distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
-
-1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work or group of works on different terms than
-are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing
-from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The
-Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
-
-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
-fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
-LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
-PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
-TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
-LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
-INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
-DAMAGE.
-
-1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
-defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
-receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
-written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
-the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
-without further opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
-in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
-OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
-LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
-
-1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
-warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
-damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
-violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
-agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
-limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
-unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
-remaining provisions.
-
-1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
-trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
-providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
-accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
-production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
-including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's principal office is in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the
-mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, but its
-volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous
-locations. Its business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt
-Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to
-date contact information can be found at the Foundation's web site and
-official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-For additional contact information:

- Dr. Gregory B. Newby
- Chief Executive and Director
- gbnewby@pglaf.org
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>The first authentic mention of Lichfield occurs in
-Bede’s Ecclesiastical History, where it is alluded to
-as the See of an Anglo-Saxon Bishop. The name is
-of Saxon origin, but its etymology has been much
-disputed. In the Saxon Chronicle the word is
-written <i><span lang="ang" xml:lang="ang">Licetfeld</span></i>; in Bede, <i><span lang="ang" xml:lang="ang">Lyccetfelth</span></i> and <i><span lang="ang" xml:lang="ang">Licitfeld</span></i>.
-Some etymologists derive its signification from <i><span lang="ang" xml:lang="ang">leccian</span></i>,
-to water (and it is well known to have abounded in
-numerous lakes and pools); others, from the verb
-<i><span lang="ang" xml:lang="ang">licean</span></i> or <i><span lang="ang" xml:lang="ang">lician</span></i>, to like, or to be agreeable, and
-therefore make it to signify Pleasant Field. It has
-however been more frequently allowed to be derived
-from <i><span lang="ang" xml:lang="ang">lic</span></i>, a dead body, and consequently as signifying
-<i><span lang="la" xml:lang="la">cadaverum campus</span></i>, the Field of Dead Bodies. This derivation
-is supported by a prevailing tradition, of the
-martyrdom of a thousand British Christians on this
-spot, at the time of the persecution (<span class='sc'>A.&nbsp;D.</span> 303) under
-Dioclesian, when Maximian was governor of Britain.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>It is certain that the present diocese of Lichfield
-and Coventry, anciently formed a part of the
-kingdom of Mercia, which, being conquered by (the
-<em>Christian King</em>) Oswy, introduced the Christian faith
-into this powerful kingdom of the Saxon Heptarchy.
-He made Lichfield an episcopal See, by appointing
-Diuma, a Scotsman, the first Bishop, <span class='sc'>A.&nbsp;D.</span> 656.
-After a succession of three others, the famous
-Ceadda, or Chad, was raised to the Bishopric <span class='sc'>A.&nbsp;D.</span> 667.
-Bede informs us, that “he had built himself an
-habitation not far removed from the church; wherein
-he was wont to pray, and read with a few, that is,
-seven or eight, of the brethren, as often as he had any
-spare time from the labour and ministry of the word.”</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>From this period, little is known of the history of
-the See till after the Norman Conquest, when at the
-National Council held in London, <span class='sc'>A.&nbsp;D.</span> 1075, it was
-determined to remove the See of Lichfield to Chester,
-which was done by Peter (the first bishop appointed
-by William the Conqueror), who went by the appellation
-of Bishop of Chester and Lichfield. Robert de
-Lymesey was his successor, and removed the See to
-Coventry, having obtained from the King, the custody
-of that Abbey (originally founded by Canute); this
-edifice having been restored and greatly enriched by
-Leofric, Earl of Hereford, and his celebrated wife
-Lady Godiva. Robert Peeke, chaplain to Henry the
-First, was consecrated to this See, <span class='sc'>A.&nbsp;D.</span> 1117, and
-was succeeded, 1128, by Roger de Clinton, who was a
-liberal benefactor both to the city and Cathedral
-church of Lichfield. He is said to have rebuilt great
-part at the latter, to have increased the number of
-Prebendaries, and to have appointed the first Canons.
-De Clinton restored the See to Lichfield, and styled
-himself Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry. Until
-the establishment of Chester as a separate See, <span class='sc'>A.&nbsp;D.</span>
-1542, the succeeding bishops were indifferently called
-Bishops of Lichfield, Coventry, and Chester, having
-an episcopal residence at each place. Coventry and
-Lichfield was the usual designation till Bishop Hacket,
-on the restoration of the monarchy, placed Lichfield
-before Coventry, as a compliment to the loyalty of
-the former place. Walter de Langton succeeded to
-the See in 1295, and did much benefit to the city,
-forming streets, causeways, &amp;c.; he augmented the
-income of the Vicars, expended 2000<i>l.</i> on a shrine
-for St. Chad, and rebuilt the Bishop’s Palace, giving
-the old episcopal house to the Vicars Choral.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>In the time of Henry the Eighth, the Cathedral
-became a prey to depredation; its ornaments, statues,
-shrines, and all other valuable articles were
-converted to the use of the crown, with the exception
-of the shrine of St. Ceadda; this was saved by the
-intercession of the Bishop, Rowland Lea, who obtained
-it from the King. This prelate earnestly
-endeavoured to save the monastery of Coventry, and
-its fine church, from spoliation, but in this his labour
-was fruitless, and they were entirely demolished.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>Little of interest occurs afterwards in the historical
-details of Lichfield, till the commencement of the
-civil wars. In 1642, a troop was raised for King
-Charles by Sir Richard Dyott, Kt.: during this time
-the Close sustained three sieges, by which the
-Cathedral was greatly injured. Preparations to considerable
-extent were made, 1643, to defend the Close
-against Lord Brooke, and three thousand troops.
-This nobleman was a zealous opposer of episcopacy,
-and had determined on the complete destruction of
-the Cathedral; on his <em>approach</em> to Lichfield he prayed
-that he might be annihilated if his cause were unjust;
-on his <em>return</em> from placing his artillery, he was shot
-by a brace of bullets, discharged by a deaf and dumb
-gentleman, of the name of Dyott, who had watched
-Lord Brooke’s motions from the top of the cathedral.
-Lord Brooke’s body was removed to Warwick to
-be buried with his ancestors; the armour worn by
-him on this fatal day, and his doublet stained with
-blood, are in the armoury at Warwick Castle. The
-gun with which he was killed remains in possession
-of the Dyott family, resident near Lichfield.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>Notwithstanding the check given to the rebels
-by the death of their leader, the garrison could not
-long stand the siege, and were constrained to yield
-to the Parliamentary forces. This was the first
-cathedral which surrendered to them, and every
-species of havoc and profanation was committed by
-these miscreants. The soldiers belonging to the
-King’s party were imprisoned in the Cathedral three
-days and four nights without food, except what could
-privately be obtained, and the inclemency of the season
-obliged them to convert the seats and desks into fuel.
-At this period the venerable pile became one scene of
-desolation, the centre spire was battered down, the
-costly monuments destroyed, and amongst others,
-that of Lord Paget, sculptured in Italy at the
-enormous expense of 700<i>l.</i> Dugdale says, “courts of
-guard were kept in the aisles; they broke up the
-pavement, every day hunted a cat with hounds
-throughout the Church, delighting themselves in the
-echo from the goodly vaulted roof, and to add to their
-wickedness, brought a calf into it wrapt in linen,
-carried it to the font, sprinkled it with water, and
-gave it a name in scorn and derision of that holy
-sacrament, Baptism; and when Prince Rupert recovered
-that Church by force, Colonel Russel, the
-governor, carried away the communion-plate and linen,
-with whatsoever else was of value.”</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>The Close was retaken by Prince Rupert in 1643,
-and Colonel Hawey Bagot was appointed Governor
-of the garrison; he had the honour of entertaining
-Charles the First, after the battle of Naseby, when
-his majesty left Ashby-de-la-Zouch, and slept at
-Governor Bagot’s, in Lichfield, on the 15th of June
-1645; this unfortunate monarch twice afterwards
-revisited this city; but short was its period of tranquillity,
-for in 1646, the Close was again taken by
-the Parliamentary forces, under Sir William Brereton,
-and its walls dismantled. In 1651, by authority of
-the Rump Parliament, men were employed to strip
-off the lead from the roof of the Cathedral, and
-break in pieces the Bells<a id='r1' /><a href='#f1' class='c010'><sup>[1]</sup></a>. It may not be uninteresting
-to remark on the heavy afflictions, or violent
-deaths, suffered by many of the spoliators of the
-Church of those days; among others, Colonel Danvers
-who stripped the roof, and Pickings who demolished
-the bells, met with untimely ends.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'><span class='pageno' id='Page_11'>11</span>We find that although the building was in this
-dilapidated state, its ministers did not neglect their
-duties, and Ashmole has the following memorandum.
-“This morning Mr. Rawlings of Lichfield told me,
-that the vicars of the Cathedral had entered the
-Chapter-house, and there said service; that this,
-with the Vestry, was the only place in the church
-that had a roof to shelter them.” On the Restoration,
-Dr. John Hacket was happily appointed prelate: he
-found the church little better than a heap of ruins,
-but, zealous in the cause of religion, he immediately
-set to work with an activity rarely equalled. The
-morning after his arrival, he employed his own coach
-horses to remove the rubbish, and took the most
-vigorous measures to obtain assistance; petitioning
-from house to house for pecuniary aid, and being
-himself a liberal benefactor. By his unwearied diligence
-and munificence, the Cathedral in the space of
-eight years had nearly regained its original splendour,
-and was re-consecrated in 1669. The intrepid
-character of this admirable man may be shown by
-the following anecdote.—Hacket was preaching in
-London, during the persecution of the established
-Church, and although the Liturgy was proscribed,
-under a severe penalty, he continued the use of it;
-at length, an armed sergeant and trooper were sent
-to the church to compel his obedience, but he, with
-a firm voice and unintimidated manner, read the
-service as he was wont to do; and when the soldiers,
-placing a pistol at his head, threatened him with
-instant death, he calmly replied, “Soldiers, I am
-doing my duty, do you do yours!” then with a voice
-equally composed, he resumed the prayers. The
-soldiers, awe-struck by his pious courage, left the
-church in astonishment!</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>From Bishop Hacket’s time, the Cathedral underwent
-little alteration till the year 1788, when the
-building being acknowledged to be in a very dilapidated
-state, subscriptions were raised to repair and
-renovate it. Under the direction of Mr. Wyatt, the
-external structure was put in good order, and the
-internal decorations restored and embellished. The
-beauty and magnificence of the edifice has since been
-greatly enhanced, by the addition of some painted
-windows, from the dissolved Abbey of Herckenrode
-in Germany: this valuable purchase was obtained by
-the Dean and Chapter, through the liberality of the
-late Sir Brooke Boothby, who made the acquisition
-when travelling on the Continent, for the small sum
-of 200<i>l.</i>, and generously transferred to them his
-bargain, estimated at 10,000<i>l.</i> These windows were
-painted at the period when the art had attained its
-highest degree of perfection, and are considered by
-connoisseurs as very valuable and choice specimens.
-Several modern windows of superior merit, have also
-been inserted, by the present Dean, Dr. Woodhouse,
-and others interested in the embellishment of the
-venerable pile. The large window at the west,
-which had been totally destroyed during the civil
-wars, and restored by James the Second when Duke
-of York, has been filled with painted glass, from a
-legacy of Dr. Addenbroke, who died Dean of this
-Cathedral, in 1776.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>Although this Cathedral cannot compete in size
-and magnificence with York and some others, in
-point of elegance it is inferior to none, and its light
-and beautiful architecture is the theme of universal
-admiration. The building is in form of a cross,
-having a large spire at the intersection of the cross,
-and two smaller ones at the west end; the pyramidal
-form of the western façade, enriched with highly
-wrought decorations and tracery, is eminently beautiful;
-neither must the centre porch be forgotten,
-being no less worthy of notice. The external length
-of the church is 400 feet, and the breadth in the
-transept 187 feet. The Nave and Aisles are good
-specimens of the simple yet exquisite taste of the
-architecture of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries;
-the clustered columns, delicately moulded
-arches, and vaulted roof, impress the beholder with
-a solemn and pleasing effect. Amongst the numerous
-monuments, we must give the first place to
-that of the Cathedral’s greatest benefactor, the
-good and pious Bishop Hacket: it consists of a
-recumbent figure, and at the head is engraved the
-following appropriate inscription; “I will not suffer
-mine eyes to sleep, till I have found out a place for
-the temple of the Lord.” But the monument which
-attracts the eager attention of all admirers of the
-sculptorial art, is that erected to the memory of the
-two Miss Robinsons; it is considered a <i><span lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">chef-d’œuvre</span></i>
-of Chantrey’s, and certainly has rarely been equalled
-for beauty of design and workmanship. The remains
-of many celebrated characters are recorded within
-these walls—that colossus of literature, Dr. Johnson,
-justly the pride and boast of Lichfield: Lady Mary
-Wortley Montague, who so greatly benefited mankind
-by the introduction of the art of Inoculation.
-Gilbert Walmesley, Dr. Smalbroke, Dean Addison,
-David Garrick, and Andrew Newton, who founded
-and endowed the noble institution in the Close, for
-the widows and orphans of Clergy; for this purpose,
-he gave, by will and donation, the sum of forty
-thousand pounds.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>The Diocese of Lichfield and Coventry, was in
-early times of very great extent; it is now much
-more limited, but contains the whole county of
-Stafford (except Brome and Clent, which belong to
-Worcester), all Derbyshire, the greater part of Warwickshire,
-and nearly half of Shropshire. It has
-the Archdeaconries of Salop, Coventry, Stafford and
-Derby. In the reign of King John, permission was
-granted to the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry to
-build a castle at Eccleshall, and this has generally
-been, as it now is, the residence of the Bishop.
-There is also a palace in Lichfield belonging to the
-See; the present one was erected in 1687, by Bishop
-Wood, on the ground occupied by the garden of
-Langton’s Palace (of which there are no remains),
-and was built in compliance with an order from
-Archbishop Sancroft, as compensation for damage
-committed upon property belonging to the See.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>Lichfield being situated on the road between London
-and Liverpool (now so much the line of communication
-with our sister country), is much frequented
-by travellers; and few places are more
-interesting to the lover of literature, having been
-either the natal spot, or home, of so many distinguished
-for learned attainments. Every one capable
-of appreciating the profound wisdom and moral
-energy of Johnson, must feel a reverence and respect
-for the place where he first drew breath. Thomas
-Newton, Bishop of Bristol, brother to Andrew Newton,
-whom we have already mentioned, and the
-learned author of <cite>Dissertations on the Prophecies</cite>, was a
-native of this city; as was also that famous virtuoso,
-Elias Ashmole, the contributor of a valuable collection
-of curiosities and MSS. to the University of
-Oxford, now assembled in the Ashmolean Museum.
-Here was the paternal residence of that elegant
-scholar, Addison; and in addition to the names
-already brought forward, Lichfield could boast
-amongst its inhabitants the eccentric James Day,
-author of <cite>Sandford and Merton</cite>, Mr. and Miss Edgeworth,
-Dr. Darwin, of botanical celebrity, and
-several others of highly esteemed intellectual powers.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>Of which we furnish a view from the pencil of Mr.
-Blore, is situated in the parish of Etton, in Northamptonshire,
-about four miles from the city of Peterborough.
-This building well deserves notice as an early
-and perfect specimen of English domestic architecture.
-The form of the windows is peculiar to the time of the
-first two Edwards, and the character of the mouldings
-evidently points out that period, as the date of its
-erection. The masonry is remarkably well executed,
-and the mouldings beautifully worked; those forming
-the finish of the Tower, over the entrance, are distinguished
-by a boldness rarely to be met with. Originally,
-this must have been a place of some strength;
-it was surrounded by water, excepting at the western
-approach, and the walls are four feet in thickness.
-Though nothing remains of an embattled parapet,
-there can be little doubt but that it possessed such
-provision for defence, and that in this, as in other
-respects, it partook of the character of the mansion-houses
-of the age.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>The round bastion at the north end, represented
-in the drawing, is that portion of the building to
-which an interesting historical incident is attached;
-one of those events, which are the melancholy, and
-certain fruits of anarchy and civil war.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>Dr. Michael Hudson, who is styled by Wood,
-“an understanding and sober person, and of great
-fidelity,” was, from his sincerity, called by King
-Charles the First, his “plain-dealing Chaplain.”
-When the troubles of that period commenced, Hudson,
-like some others of his profession, left his benefice,
-under an impression that his monarch demanded
-his personal aid; and King Charles having, as we are
-told, “an especial respect for his signal loyalty and
-courage,” intrusted him with some important secrets,
-as regarded his own proceedings. Hudson proved
-himself a courageous soldier, but, being apprehended
-by the Parliamentary forces, he suffered a tedious
-confinement. Escaping from his prison in London,
-he joined a body of royalists, who had fled to
-Woodcroft House. When attacked there by the
-Parliamentary forces, Hudson, with some of his
-bravest soldiers, went up to the battlements, where
-they defended themselves for some time. At length
-they yielded, upon the promise of quarter; but
-when the rebels were admitted, they broke their
-engagement. Hudson was forced over the battlements,
-and clung to one of the stone spouts represented
-in the drawing. His hands being either
-actually cut off, or severely hacked and bruised by
-the sabres of the soldiers, he quitted his hold and fell
-into the moat underneath, desiring only to reach the
-land and die there; but this miserable boon was
-denied him, as, in attempting to reach the bank, he
-was knocked on the head with the but-end of a
-musket, and drowned<a id='r2' /><a href='#f2' class='c010'><sup>[2]</sup></a>.</p>

-eventful period of our history! Our great dramatic

- <h2 id='symbolical_writing' class='c007'>SYMBOLICAL WRITING.</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>It would seem that the earliest of all written language
-consisted of actual drawings of the forms of animals
-or things; rudely sketched, indeed, by the hands of our
-rude forefathers, but sufficiently plain to mark the object
-designed. This mode appears the more natural,
-because the representation of sounds, which express
-the names of things, by certain characters or alphabets,
-which is the mode now most extensively in use, must
-necessarily require some previous concert between
-two parties, the one of whom suggests, and the other
-agrees, that a particular mark or form on paper shall
-be the symbol for a particular sound. But if we
-suppose a savage separated from his friend, and
-wishing to communicate with him, without having
-had this previous consultation, and supposing that
-he has lent his distant acquaintance some articles of
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_13'>13</span>furniture, such as his bow and arrows, or his knife,
-which he is anxious to have returned, without the
-knowledge of his messenger, it seems highly probable,
-that his first impulse would be to make a rude sketch
-of these articles, and transmit the impression to his
-friend. Were the latter an acute man he would
-probably understand the allusion; and, were he not
-intelligent enough for this purpose, it is clear he
-would not be nearly sufficiently so to comprehend the
-symbols to denote sounds. So that the simplicity of
-this mode of writing might suggest the probability of
-its being the first resorted to, without alluding to the
-hieroglyphics yet remaining on the Egyptian tombs,
-which, from our want of acquaintance with the
-manners, customs, and general objects with which
-the Egyptians were conversant, are very difficult to
-decipher, if we may judge from the learning expended
-in explaining them. As a modern specimen of this
-kind of writing, it may not be uninteresting to
-describe a letter which M. Martinez received from
-an inhabitant of the Caroline Islands, in the Eastern
-Ocean. The following is the drawing of the letter
-alluded to, and the description is taken from <span class='sc'>Freycinet</span>
-and <span class='sc'>Arago’s</span> <cite>Voyage</cite>.</p>
-
-<div id='i_008' class='figcenter id003'>
-<img src='images/i_008.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' />
-</div>
-
-<p class='c009'>“This was written to M. Martinez, at Rotta, who
-had commissioned a Tamor of Sathoual to send
-him some shells, promising in exchange a few pieces
-of iron. The captain gave him the sheet of paper,
-the original of which is in my possession, and is in
-red characters. The figure at the top of the letter
-was placed there as the bearer of compliments: the
-branch under him is the type of peace and amity:
-the marks in the column on the left hand indicate the
-sort of shells the Carolinian had sent to M. Martinez.
-In the column on the right, are placed the objects he
-desired in exchange; namely, three large fishing
-hooks, four small ones, two pieces of iron of the
-shape of axes, and two pieces a little longer.” This
-curiously-expressed request was gratified, and many
-handsome shells obtained in return.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>This is, perhaps, as clear an instance as can be
-found, of the mode in which an unlettered people
-would endeavour to convey the expression of their
-wishes to their friends at a distance, and forms a
-striking contrast to the elegant though complicated
-process of our own method of writing.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>In the written language of the Chinese, a great
-proof of its having originated in this picture-writing,
-may yet be seen by a little attention to the forms of
-their characters, and is, perhaps, the only language
-now generally in practice, in which these early
-symbols are discernible, though some have attempted
-to explain the Hebrew language in the same way, by
-maintaining that the letters composing the Alphabet
-were at first characters or drawings of things. In
-the modern Chinese, however, much of the early rude
-formation of the characters has been altered, arising,
-probably, in some degree, from a greater improvement
-in taste inducing the nation to alter these rough to
-more elegant forms, and partly from the facility of
-writing requiring the scribe, in some cases, to strike
-off, and in others to connect, various parts of the
-original figure. Thus, the present Chinese character
-for ‘a man,’ is <img class='glyph' src='images/i_009a.jpg' alt='' /> which was originally drawn
-<img class='glyph' src='images/i_009b.jpg' alt='' /> or <img class='glyph' src='images/i_009c.jpg' alt='' /> or <img class='glyph' src='images/i_009d.jpg' alt='' />; here it is plain that, by lopping
-off some of the limbs of this rude representative of the
-human species, we leave something like the form of
-the present character, though it would appear, that a
-long succession of ages must have polished the rough
-material to the improved shape which it now possesses.
-Again, the character to denote ‘the ear,’ was
-formerly drawn <img class='glyph' src='images/i_009e.jpg' alt='' /> which is now softened into
-the present form, thus <img class='glyph' src='images/i_009f.jpg' alt='' />. ‘A range of hills,’ or
-‘mound,’ at first drawn <img class='glyph' src='images/i_009g.jpg' alt='' /> has now become <img class='glyph' src='images/i_009h.jpg' alt='' />.
-‘The sun,’ <img class='glyph' src='images/i_009i.jpg' alt='' /> is now <img class='glyph' src='images/i_009j.jpg' alt='' />. The reader’s ingenuity
-may be exercised and amused, and he will be enabled
-to see how far the preceding remarks are well-grounded,
-if we present him with a few of the original
-drawings, placed side by side with the characters
-into which they have been gradually altered, and
-which are now in general use.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>The numbers one, two, three, and four, remain the

-single one is often placed in various positions, to convey
-ideas which it would be very difficult, and often
-impossible, to express by a simple drawing of the
-object: for instance, how could the idea of ‘a corpse’
-be represented on paper; the figure of a man, it is
-easily seen, is not sufficient, since we cannot tell, from
-looking at a picture so unfinished as the rapidity of
-writing would demand, whether the breath be in or
-out of the body; they, therefore, take the figure for
-man we have before seen, and lay it prostrate, thus
-<img class='glyph' src='images/i_009_e.jpg' alt='' />. The figure to represent a rock <img class='glyph' src='images/i_009_f.jpg' alt='' /> is supposed
-to imply a rock jutting over, and affording
-shelter, and from this was formed the following to
-denote ‘a stone,’ <img class='glyph' src='images/i_009_g.jpg' alt='' />, that is, as it were, a portion
-cut out of the rock; hence, to imply a heap of
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_14'>14</span>stones, the form <img class='glyph' src='images/i_010a.jpg' alt='' /> would readily suggest itself.
-On the same principle it would be very difficult to
-describe hail in a sketch; but, by considering it (if
-we may be allowed the term) as hardened water,
-they add to the character denoting rain the appearance
-of solid drops falling; thus, ‘rain’ is expressed
-by <img class='glyph' src='images/i_010b.jpg' alt='' /> and ‘hail’ thus <img class='glyph' src='images/i_010c.jpg' alt='' />. In representing the
-forms of animals, or things, no further accomplishment
-was necessary than accuracy of eye, and skill
-in delineating the various shapes; but much greater
-ingenuity is required in order to represent intangible
-or invisible substances, such as light, air, &amp;c., or the
-qualities of things which we call by the term adjectives,
-such as those implying strength, weakness, or
-various actions, as to walk, to stop, to eat, to desire,
-&amp;c., in fact, all kinds of verbs. This difficult matter
-is generally accomplished by the union of two or
-more simple forms, placed together in such a way,
-that their combination may suggest the idea required.
-To express brightness, the figures of the ‘sun’ and
-‘moon’ are placed together <img class='glyph' src='images/i_010d.jpg' alt='' />. In the character
-which they employ to denote the adjective ‘aspiring,’
-a man’s breath is represented as going out of the
-body and ascending <img class='glyph' src='images/i_010e.jpg' alt='' />. To hanker after or desire
-earnestly, is represented by this character of breath
-combined with water, corresponding, in fact, with
-our somewhat common phrase ‘mouth-watering’
-<img class='glyph' src='images/i_010f.jpg' alt='' />. The rather difficult character of a king is
-described by ‘one,’ <img class='glyph' src='images/i_010g.jpg' alt='' />; and the character for land
-<img class='glyph' src='images/i_010h.jpg' alt='' />, or united <img class='glyph' src='images/i_010i.jpg' alt='' />, implying the feudal idea of
-sovereignty, all the land belonging to one. The
-adverbs ‘above’ and ‘below’ are very simply expressed,
-the former being <img class='glyph' src='images/i_010j.jpg' alt='' />, and the latter <img class='glyph' src='images/i_010k.jpg' alt='' />.
-Crafty and intriguing finds its corresponding character
-in the little crooked symbol <img class='glyph' src='images/i_010l.jpg' alt='' />. The idea
-of a family is very happily and prettily expressed
-by the symbol of a ‘house,’ under which three
-human beings are sheltered <img class='glyph' src='images/i_010m.jpg' alt='' />. Many more instances,
-and some very remarkable ones, might be
-adduced of this mode of representing complex ideas,

-objects. In fact, most of the words, perhaps, in common
-use in Chinese writing, might be divided, and

- <h2 id='intemperance' class='c007'>INTEMPERANCE.</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>The histories of all nations show that, in the infancy
-of society, man has few wants. Food for the
-sustenance of life, clothing for the covering of his
-person, and a habitation to shelter him from the wind
-and the storm, form the chief objects of his desire;
-and these he is easily enabled to supply from the rich
-storehouse of nature, which the bountiful Creator has
-furnished for his use. The earth has never ceased to
-reward the industry of man; and his daily necessities
-being thus provided for, his future worldly wants
-occupy but a small share of his thoughts.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>As mankind multiply and associate together in
-cities and towns, their attention is directed to other
-means of procuring the necessaries of life. Trade,
-manufactures, and commerce offer ample opportunities
-for the exercise of talent and industry; and
-the simplicity and contentment of rural life are exchanged
-for a more artificial state of society. The
-accumulation of property henceforth becomes an
-object of general pursuit, and the busy mind of man
-is occupied in forming and digesting plans to ensure
-such a result. Should prosperity attend his undertakings,
-and crown his labours with increase, he will
-not be slow in acquiring a taste for additional comfort
-and enjoyment, which his improved circumstances
-have placed within his reach. Thus the
-wants of man increase with his means of satisfying
-them. They are no longer confined to the simple
-necessaries of life, but embrace those elegancies and
-luxuries which owe their origin to the increase of
-wealth, the refinement of education, and the intercourse
-of society. Surplus capital thus finds ample
-and ready means of occupation in ministering to the
-growing wants of the community. Various trades,
-arts and professions are introduced, which open up
-new sources of employment; a stimulus is given to
-industry, and the powers of the mind are brought
-into operation to diffuse information and instruction
-through the land. Thus national wealth, education,
-and refinement advance together; and the riches
-which found entrance in one direction, find their way,
-through various channels, to every ramification of
-society, as the blood which flows from the heart circulates
-through every part of the human system.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>So long as surplus wealth thus extends, and promotes
-a nation’s prosperity, it is legitimately employed.
-But there are certain limits within which it
-ought to be confined. The morality, intelligence,
-and industry of the people are the bulwarks of national
-greatness; and if, by the introduction of any
-article of luxury or common diet, these barriers are
-weakened or thrown down, and the flood-gates of
-immorality, ignorance, and idleness opened, their
-dark tide will begin to flow, and threaten the best
-interests of the country. This result is shown by
-the histories of all those nations which reached the
-summit of wealth and power by the exercise of temperance,
-and whose downfall was hastened by their
-intemperance, producing idle and licentious habits,
-discord, effeminacy, and a spirit of dependence.
-Such were the Persians, the Greeks, and the Romans.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>Though there are distinctions of rank and station
-in society, there is a mutual dependence throughout
-the community at large, similar to the connexion
-existing among the members of the human body.
-“The eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need
-of thee; nor the head to the feet, I have no need of
-you.” The man whom wealth has exempted from
-the common lot of humanity, “in the sweat of thy
-face shalt thou eat bread,” is as dependent on the
-cultivator of the soil, the manufacturer, and the
-mechanic, as they are upon him. Hence all in their
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_15'>15</span>several stations are equally the guardians of the
-peace, happiness, and prosperity of the nation to
-which they belong; and it becomes both their duty
-and their interest, either to prevent the introduction
-of any traffic of an injurious character, or to expel
-that from the land which may have been found to
-have such a tendency.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>The facility with which ardent spirits are obtained
-in this country, cannot but be regarded as the cause
-of those habits of intemperance which deface the fair
-page of our moral history. Drunkenness prevails to
-a lamentable extent throughout the land, and is the
-fruitful source of idleness, poverty, immorality, and
-crime. So far from being diminished, it seems rather
-on the increase; and the fearful change which it has
-wrought in the character of our artisans and labouring
-population, calls for the adoption of some measure
-to arrest its course.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>Ardent spirits are destructive of health, property,
-and morals; unfit to be used by persons in health,
-being destitute of any nutritious quality; and the
-traffic in them is injurious to the prosperity of the
-country. Besides the misery which the use of them
-inflicts on individuals and families, it greatly augments
-the national expenditure. It increases the
-poor’s rates by increasing pauperism; it enhances the
-expense of judicial proceedings by promoting crime;
-and our hospitals and lunatic asylums are indebted
-to the same cause for by far the greater proportion
-of their wretched inmates. If the money wasted in
-the purchase of this worse than useless superfluity,
-were spent on articles of real utility, a stimulus would
-be given to trade, manufactures, and commerce.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>Such being the consequences of the traffic in
-ardent spirits, as proved by incontrovertible evidence,
-the welfare of the nation calls for its suppression.
-This must be accomplished, not by an appeal to the
-legislature for an Act of Parliament to abolish the
-trade, but by enlightened public opinion. If the
-community be convinced of the noxious qualities of
-ardent spirit, and the vicious and immoral consequences
-to which habits of drinking lead, they will
-cease to buy, and the traffic must come to an end.
-But this object cannot be attained till the nation rise
-as one man to crush this enemy to its happiness.
-This is the result which the institutions called
-<span class='sc'>Temperance Societies</span> aim to accomplish. The
-means they employ is simply the diffusion of information
-through the land, with a view to correct public
-opinion, and unite men and women in the practice of
-total abstinence from distilled spirits as an article of
-ordinary use. They act upon the well-established
-maxim that prevention is better than cure; and their
-first solicitation is to gain the countenance and support
-of the sober, temperate, respectable, and influential
-classes of the community, whose combined
-example may operate upon the mass of the population.
-Such being their principle and object, they
-deserve the support and assistance of every friend to
-humanity and every lover of his country.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p class='c008'>The Mocking-bird is a species of thrush, not uncommon
-in many parts both of North and South
-America and the West India Islands. In size, it
-does not exceed the European song-bird, and perhaps
-is not equal to it in the beauty of its plumage;
-it is, however, far from being an inelegant creature,
-but it is better known for the peculiarity and amazing
-power of its voice. Although not gifted with any
-powerful weapons of self-defence, these birds display
-extraordinary courage in defence of their eggs and
-young, and will fearlessly attack any animal which
-may approach their haunts, even their greatest enemy,
-a species of black snake.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>“To these qualities” (says Wilson, the American
-author), “we may add that of a voice full, strong,
-and musical, and capable of almost every modulation,
-from the clear mellow tones of the wood-thrush, to
-the savage scream of the bald-eagle. In measure
-and accent, he faithfully follows his originals. In
-force and sweetness of expression, he greatly exceeds
-them. In his native groves, mounted on the
-top of a tall bush, or half-grown tree, in the dawn
-of dewy morning, while the woods are already vocal
-with a multitude of warblers, his admirable song
-rises pre-eminent over every competitor. The ear
-can listen to his music alone, to which that of all the
-others seems a mere accompaniment. Neither is
-this strain altogether imitative. His own native
-notes, which are easily distinguishable by such as
-are well acquainted with those of our various
-song-birds, are bold and full, and varied seemingly
-beyond all limits. His expanded wings and tail,
-glistening with white, and the buoyant gaiety of his
-action, arresting the eye as his song most irresistibly
-does the ear, he sweeps round with enthusiastic ecstacy.
-He mounts or descends as his song swells or dies
-away. While thus exerting himself, a bystander,
-destitute of sight, would suppose that the whole
-feathered tribes, had assembled together on a trial
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_16'>16</span>of skill, each striving to produce his utmost effect;
-so perfect are his imitations. He many times
-deceives the sportsman, and sends him in search of
-birds that perhaps are not within miles of him, but
-whose notes he exactly imitates; even birds themselves
-are frequently imposed on by this admirable
-mimic, and are decoyed by the fancied calls of their
-mates, or dive with precipitation into the depths of
-thickets, at the scream of what they suppose to be
-the sparrow-hawk.</p>

-</div>

-
-<p class='c009'>“The mocking-bird loses little of the power and
-energy of his song by confinement. In his domesticated
-state, when he commences his career of song,
-it is impossible to stand by uninterested. He
-whistles for the dog—Cæsar starts up, wags his tail,
-and runs to meet his master; he squeaks out like a
-hurt chicken—and the hen hurries about, with hanging
-wings and bristled feathers, clucking to protect
-its injured brood. The barking of the dog, the
-mewing of the cat, the creaking of a passing wheelbarrow,
-follow, with great truth and rapidity. He
-repeats the tune taught him by his master, though of
-considerable length, fully and faithfully. He runs
-over the quiverings of the canary and the clear
-whistlings of the Virginia nightingale, or the redbird,
-with such superior execution and effect, that
-the mortified songsters feel their own inferiority and
-become altogether silent, while he seems to triumph
-in their defeat by redoubling his exertions.</p>
-
-<p class='c009'>“Both in his native and domesticated state, during
-the solemn stillness of night, as soon as the moon
-rises in silent majesty, he begins his delightful solo;
-and serenades us the livelong night, with a full display
-of his vocal powers, making the whole neighbourhood
-ring with his inimitable melody.”</p>

-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not

-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project

-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If

-without further opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth

-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
