Rh Sunday-school of to-day. The teachers, who were paid 1s. 6d. for the Sunday, assembled the children at 8 a.m. For two hours they were taught the alphabet, spelling and reading, with lessons from the New Testament, catechism, and Watts's Divine and Moral Songs. The children then went home, to reassemble in the afternoon, when they were taken to church for public catechism, returning to their lessons till 5.30, when they were dismissed for another week. Attendance was insured by the distribution of sweets and gingerbread.

"It is my wish that every poor child in my kingdom should be taught to read the Bible," said the poor King, before he was "put away" in the padded room at Windsor, there to drone his own dismal hymns in the intervals of madness. The wish was more practically echoed by Hannah More, who struggled manfully against the prevailing prejudice with regard to learning. She would personally visit cottage after cottage among the poor, explaining, arguing, and endeavouring to overcome scruples. The only benefit to themselves that the short-sighted parents could see was that their apples would get a chance of ripening in the orchards, for the

330 children would not be free all day to steal them! At last, after weeks of patient and thankless work, she collected her children and bought an old ox-shed to serve as school-house. Then a teacher had to be found. Few qualifications were necessary in these days. A little private fortune was desirable, for salaries were low, "A woman of excellent natural sense, good knowledge of the human heart, activity, zeal and uncommon piety," with a grown-up daughter, was one of the selected teachers for these early elementary schools. She taught reading, sewing, knitting and spinning. "I allow no writing for the poor," says Hannah More, "my object is not to make fanatics, but to train up the lower classes in habits of industry and piety." As in the Sunday-schools, regular attendance was rewarded with sweets and gingerbread, augmented once a year by prizes of Bibles, calico aprons, caps and tippets. A marked improvement took place in the neighbourhoods where such schools as these had been started, and others began to rise up all over the country, until the private enterprise of a few individuals was merged in various societies, which undertook the education of the poor, till, in 1818, 605,704 children out of

Rh two millions were at school. Teachers being insufficient and funds low, most of the teaching was done by children themselves—a method which was the forerunner of the pupil-teacher system. Classes were divided into eight "drafts," marked by semicircular lines chalked on the floor. Each child was supposed to attend for two years between the ages of seven and fourteen to learn reading from the Bible, writing on a ruled slate, and the first four rules of arithmetic. This was given free till 1827, when a fee of 2d. a week was charged to defray expenses. Punishment by ridicule was the fashion in these days, though the stick was never absent. Thus the idle boy was rocked in a cradle by a girl, the fidget had his legs tied to logs, the truant was fastened to his desk, bad boys were yoked together, and sluggards were put into a basket and hoisted up to the ceiling by a rope. But better days for the children of England were dawning.

A change in dress, moreover, was widely welcomed. Throughout the centuries boys and girls had been dressed in exact imitation of their parents. Boys had worn their hair long or short according to the fashions of the day; they wore


text:
Page:A short history of social life in England.djvu/352

332 tight breeches, cut-away coats and embroidered waistcoats, while their little sisters had been doomed to long skirts, hoops and stomachers, and whatever folly in fashion characterised their age. Now, though girls still wore their frocks to their feet, yet the newer fashion allowed more ease and grace than had formerly been possible; there was childish simplicity in the long folds of plain material that fell from neck to feet, only broken by a high-waisted sash. Low necks and short sleeves were worn from babyhood, while frilled trousers, white socks, and sandals completed the costume. The boys are familiar, too, in their nankeen trousers buttoning up over their waistcoats, their frilled shirt-collars, white stockings and pumps. Nankeen for children was freely used. Thus Miss Martineau gives us a glimpse of her family starting off on a journey from Norwich to Newcastle. "My mother, aunt Margaret, sister Elizabeth, aged fifteen, Rachel, myself, and little James, aged four, in nankeen frocks, were all crammed into a post-chaise for a journey of three or four days."

Caps or turbans, as they were called, were worn by all women and girls at this time. They were made of silk, velvet, muslin, lace

Rh crape, and trimmed with feathers, flowers, ribbons in all sorts of fantastic shapes, till, after a time, the turban was relegated to old-fashioned matrons and merged into a simple cap. It was an age of capacious bonnets and weeping veils, of voluminous muffs, long mittens, prunella slippers, embroidered scarfs and boas: it was also the era of the Empire gown, long and straight, low-necked, short-sleeved, and high-waisted, as worn by Napoleon's Empress.

Perhaps the most important change in men's dress was the disappearance of the pig-tail in 1808. So great was the joy in the army at getting rid of this foolish fashion, that, when the order came, one regiment, already starting abroad on foreign service, gave three cheers and flung the pig-tails into Portsmouth harbour while others made bonfires of these relics of a barbarous custom. But, indeed, there was little time and thought to bestow on men's fashions during these troubled years that ushered in the new century. The momentous struggle against Napoleon monopolised men's attention, and the conversation of our great-grandfathers centred around "Old Boney," whom they regarded as the very devil. Shop windows were full of caricatures

334 representing "His Satanic Majesty" with tail, horns and hoofs complete. Exaggerated stories were told in the clubs, and repeated in the drawing-rooms, of his adventures, his regal display, his hatred of England, and his schemes for attacking her. His name was used as a bogey to frighten children. In 1807, preparations had been made along the Norfolk coast for an expected invasion, and the five-year-old Harriet Martineau was twitching her pinafore in terror at the thought of the monster's arrival.

"Papa, what will you do if Boney comes?" she asked, trembling.

"What will I do?" he answered cheerfully, "Why, I will ask him to take a glass of port with me."

The idea that the dreaded "Boney" was human enough to be entertained with port comforted the nervous child not a little.

Men and women wept over the death of Nelson in 1805, and were equally ready to toast the hero of Waterloo, when their old foe was no longer a terror in the land.

Notwithstanding their foreign interests, our great-grandfathers still found time to oppose the introduction of gas, the new method of lighting

Rh their capital at home. In the year 1805 the Morning Post announced that a shop at the corner of Piccadilly "is illuminated every evening with gas. It produces a much more brilliant light than either oil or tallow, and proves in a striking manner the advantage to be derived from so valuable an application." Although at this time the smell made people sick and the fumes well-nigh asphyxiated them, yet such an innovation was bound to make its way. In 1810 the Gas Light and Coke Company obtained their charter, and gradually the main streets of London were lit with gas, and the manservant armed with a lantern for conducting home "the quality" from ball or theatre became extinct. But till Queen Victoria's accession the clergy of some of the leading City churches preached against the introduction of gas into churches "as profane and contrary to God's law." And the aristocratic inhabitants of Grosvenor Square absolutely declined to be lit with gas till the year 1842!

The gas lamps were still lit by means of the original tinder box, friction matches not being invented till 1830; but the Morning Post in 1808 foreshadows the idea of producing fire by other means. "The success of the Instantaneous Light

336 Fire Matches daily increases, and the manufactory in Soho has now become the daily resort of persons of the first fashion and consequence in town, who express themselves highly gratified with the utility and ingenuity of these curiosities." The first successful phosphorus matches were named "Lucifer," from their supposed dealings with the Evil One. "Matches that light themselves will find no place in my house," cried an indignant woman in 1829. "Give me my old-fashioned tinder-box." People were gravely warned of their dangers, so that the general use of matches was delayed till nearly 1840.

These are but a few of the great innovations that characterised the dawn of the new century:

Rh life, man, at first, ever seeks to shun all conscious definitiveness in his thoughts and purposes; as assured, that the lines that shall precisely define his present misery, and thereby lay out his future path; these can only be defined by sharp stakes that cut into his heart.

III

Most melancholy of all the hours of earth, is that one long, gray hour, which to the watcher by the lamp, intervenes between the night and day; when both lamp and watcher, overtasked, grow sickly in the pallid light; and the watcher, seeking for no gladness in the dawn, sees naught but garish vapours there; and almost invokes a curse upon the public day, that shall invade his lonely night of sufferance.

The one small window of his closet looked forth upon the meadow, and across the river, and far away to the distant heights, storied with the great deeds of the Glendinnings. Many a time had Pierre sought this window before sunrise, to behold the blood-red, out-flinging dawn, that would wrap those purple hills as with a banner. But now the morning dawned in mist and rain, and came drizzlingly upon his heart. Yet as the day advanced, and once more showed to him the accustomed features of his room by that natural light, which, till this very moment, had never lighted him but to his joy; now that the day, and not the night, was witness to his woe; now first the dread reality came appallingly upon him. A sense of horrible forlornness, feebleness, impotence, and infinite eternal desolation possessed him. It was not merely mental, but corporeal also. He could not stand; and when he tried to sit, his arms fell floorward as tied to leaden weights. Dragging his ball and chain, he fell upon his bed; for when the mind is cast down, only in

130 sympathetic proneness can the body rest; whence the bed is often Grief's first refuge. Half stupefied, as with opium, he fell into the profoundest sleep.

In an hour he awoke, instantly recalling all the previous night; and now finding himself a little strengthened, and lying so quietly and silently there, almost without bodily consciousness, but his soul unobtrusively alert; careful not to break the spell by the least movement of a limb, or the least turning of his head, Pierre steadfastly faced his grief, and looked deep down into its eyes; and thoroughly, and calmly, and summarily comprehended it now—so at least he thought—and what it demanded from him; and what he must quickly do in its more immediate sequences; and what that course of conduct was, which he must pursue in the coming unevadable breakfast interview with his mother; and what, for the present, must be his plan with Lucy. His time of thought was brief. Rising from his bed, he steadied himself upright a moment; and then going to his writing-desk, in a few at first faltering, but at length unlagging lines, traced the following note:—

'I must ask pardon of you, Lucy, for so strangely absenting myself last night. But you know me well enough to be very sure that I would not have done so without important cause. I was in the street approaching your cottage, when a message reached me, imperatively calling me away. It is a matter which will take up all my time and attention for, possibly, two or three days. I tell you this, now, that you may be prepared for it. And I know that however unwelcome this may be to you, you will yet bear with it for my sake; for, indeed, and indeed, Lucy dear, I would not dream of staying from you so long, unless irresistibly coerced to it. Do not come to the mansion until I come to you; and do not

Rh manifest any curiosity or anxiety about me, should you chance in the interval to see my mother in any other place. Keep just as cheerful as if I were by you all the time. Do this, now, I conjure you; and so farewell!'

He folded the note, and was about sealing it, when he hesitated a moment, and instantly unfolding it, read it to himself. But he could not adequately comprehend his own writing, for a sudden cloud came over him. This passed; and taking his pen hurriedly again, he added the following postscript:—

'Lucy, this note may seem mysterious; but if it shall, I did not mean to make it so; nor do I know that I could have helped it. But the only reason is this, Lucy: the matter which I have alluded to, is of such a nature, that, for the present I stand virtually pledged not to disclose it to any person but those more directly involved in it. But where one cannot reveal the thing itself, it only makes it the more mysterious to write round it this way. So merely know me entirely unmenaced in person, and eternally faithful to you; and so be at rest till I see you.'

Then sealing the note, and ringing the bell, he gave it in strict charge to a servant, with directions to deliver it at the earliest practicable moment, and not wait for any answer. But as the messenger was departing the chamber he called him back, and taking the sealed note again, and hollowing it in his hand, scrawled inside of it in pencil the following words: 'Don't write me; don't inquire for me'; and then returned it to the man, who quitted him, leaving Pierre rooted in thought in the middle of the room.

But he soon roused himself and left the mansion; and seeking the cool, refreshing meadow stream, where it

132 formed a deep and shady pool, he bathed; and returning invigorated to his chamber, changed his entire dress; in the little trifling concernments of his toilet, striving utterly to banish all thought of that weight upon his soul. Never did he array himself with more solicitude for effect. It was one of his fond mother's whims to perfume the lighter contents of his wardrobe; and it was one of his own little femininenesses—of the sort sometimes curiously observable in very robust-bodied and big-souled men, as Mohammed, for example—to be very partial to all pleasant essences. So that when once more he left the mansion in order to freshen his cheek anew to meet the keen glance of his mother—to whom the secret of his possible pallor could not be divulged; Pierre went forth all redolent; but alas! his body only the embalming cerements of his buried dead within.

IV

His stroll was longer than he meant; and when he returned up the Linden walk leading to the breakfast-room, and ascended the piazza steps, and glanced into the wide window there, he saw his mother seated not far from the table; her face turned toward his own; and heard her gay voice, and peculiarly light and buoyant laugh, accusing him, and not her, of being the morning's laggard now. Dates was busy among some spoons and napkins at a side-stand.

Summoning all possible cheerfulness to his face, Pierre entered the room. Remembering his carefulness in bathing and dressing; and knowing that there is no air so calculated to give bloom to the cheek as that of a damply fresh, cool, and misty morning, Pierre persuaded himself that small trace would now be found on him of his long night of watching.

Rh 'Good morning, sister;—Such a famous stroll! I have been all the way to——'

'Where? good heavens! where? for such a look as that!—why, Pierre, Pierre? what ails thee? Dates, I will touch the bell presently.'

As the good servitor fumbled for a moment among the napkins, as if unwilling to stir so summarily from his accustomed duty, and not without some of a well and long-tried old domestic's vague, intermitted murmuring, at being wholly excluded from a matter of family interest; Mrs. Glendinning kept her fixed eye on Pierre, who, unmindful that the breakfast was not yet entirely ready, seating himself at the table, began helping himself—though but nervously enough—to the cream and sugar. The moment the door closed on Dates, the mother sprang to her feet, and threw her arms around her son; but in that embrace, Pierre miserably felt that their two hearts beat not together in such unison as before.

'What haggard thing possesses thee, my son? Speak, this is incomprehensible! Lucy;—fie!—not she?—no love-quarrel there;—speak, speak, my darling boy!'

'My dear sister,' began Pierre.

'Sister me not, now, Pierre;—I am thy mother.'

'Well, then, dear mother, thou art quite as incomprehensible to me as I to——'

'Talk faster, Pierre this calmness freezes me. Tell me; for, by my soul, something most wonderful must have happened to thee. Thou art my son, and I command thee. It is not Lucy; it is something else. Tell me.'

'My dear mother,' said Pierre, impulsively moving his chair backward from the table, 'if thou wouldst only believe me when I say it, I have really nothing to tell thee. Thou knowest that sometimes, when I happen to feel very foolishly studious and philosophical, I sit up late in my chamber; and then, regardless of the hour,

134 foolishly run out into the air, for a long stroll across the meadows. I took such a stroll last night; and had but little time left for napping afterward; and what nap I had I was none the better for. But I won't be so silly again, soon; so do, dearest mother, stop looking at me, and let us to breakfast.—Dates! Touch the bell there, sister.'

'Stay, Pierre!—There is a heaviness in this hour. I feel, I know, that thou art deceiving me;—perhaps I erred in seeking to wrest thy secret from thee; but believe me, my son, I never thought thou hadst any secret thing from me, except thy first love for Lucy—and that, my own womanhood tells me, was most pardonable and right. But now, what can it be? Pierre, Pierre! consider well before thou determinest upon withholding confidence from me. I am thy mother. It may prove a fatal thing. Can that be good and virtuous, Pierre, which shrinks from a mother's knowledge? Let us not loose hands so, Pierre; thy confidence from me, mine goes from thee. Now, shall I touch the bell?'

Pierre, who had thus far been vainly seeking to occupy his hands with his cup and spoon; he now paused, and unconsciously fastened a speechless glance of mournfulness upon his mother. Again he felt presentiments of his mother's newly revealed character. He foresaw the supposed indignation of her wounded pride; her gradually estranged affections thereupon; he knew her firmness, and her exaggerated ideas of the inalienable allegiance of a son. He trembled to think, that now indeed was come the first initial moment of his heavy trial. But though he knew all the significance of his mother's attitude, as she stood before him, intently eyeing him, with one hand upon the bell-cord; and though he felt that the same opening of the door that should now admit Dates, could not but give eternal exit to all confidence between him and his mother; and though he felt, too,

title: Page:Pierre.djvu/148


text:
Page:Pierre.djvu/149

Rh that this was his mother's latent thought; nevertheless, he was girded up in his well-considered resolution.

'Pierre, Pierre! shall I touch the bell?'

'Mother, stay!—yes, do, sister.'

The bell was rung; and at the summons Dates entered; and looking with some significance at Mrs. Glendinning, said, 'His Reverence has come, my mistress, and is now in the west parlour.'

'Show Mr. Falsgrave in here immediately; and bring up the coffee; did I not tell you I expected him to breakfast this morning?'

'Yes, my mistress; but I thought that—that—just then'—glancing alarmedly from mother to son.

'Oh, my good Dates, nothing has happened,' cried Mrs. Glendinning, lightly, and with a bitter smile, looking toward her son,—'show Mr. Falsgrave in. Pierre, I did not see thee, to tell thee, last night; but Mr. Falsgrave breakfasts with us by invitation. I was at the parsonage yesterday, to see him about that wretched affair of Delly, and we are finally to settle upon what is to be done this morning. But my mind is made up concerning Ned; no such profligate shall pollute this place; nor shall the disgraceful Delly.'

Fortunately, the abrupt entrance of the clergyman here turned away attention from the sudden pallor of Pierre's countenance, and afforded him time to rally.

'Good morning, madam; good morning, sir,' said Mr. Falsgrave, in a singularly mild, flute-like voice, turning to Mrs. Glendinning and her son; the lady receiving him with answering cordiality, but Pierre too embarrassed just then to be equally polite. As for one brief moment Mr. Falsgrave stood before the pair, ere taking the offered chair from Dates, his aspect was eminently attractive.

There are certain ever-to-be-cherished moments in the life of almost any man, when a variety of little foregoing

136 circumstances all unite to make him temporarily oblivious of whatever may be hard and bitter in his life, and also to make him most amiably and ruddily disposed; when the scene and company immediately before him are highly agreeable; and if at such a time he chance involuntarily to put himself into a scenically favourable bodily posture; then, in that posture, however transient, thou shalt catch the noble stature of his Better Angel; catch a heavenly glimpse of the latent heavenliness of man. It was so with Mr. Falsgrave now. Not a house within a circuit of fifty miles that he preferred entering before the mansion-house of Saddle Meadows; and though the business upon which he had that morning come, was anything but relishable to him, yet that subject was not in his memory then. Before him stood united in one person, the most exalted lady and the most storied beauty of all the country round; and the finest, most intellectual, and most congenial youth he knew. Before him also, stood the generous foundress and the untiring patroness of the beautiful little marble church, consecrated by the good Bishop, not four years gone by. Before him also, stood—though in polite disguise—the same untiring benefactress, from whose purse, he could not help suspecting, came a great part of his salary, nominally supplied by the rental of the pews. He had been invited to breakfast; a meal, which, in a well-appointed country family, is the most cheerful circumstance of daily life; he smelt all Java's spices in the aroma from the silver coffee-urn; and well he knew, what liquid deliciousness would soon come from it. Besides all this, and many more minutenesses of the kind, he was conscious that Mrs. Glendinning entertained a particular partiality for him (though not enough to marry him, as he ten times knew by very bitter experience), and that Pierre was not behindhand in his esteem.

title: Page:Pierre.djvu/150

Rh And the clergyman was well worthy of it. Nature had been royally bountiful to him in his person. In his happier moments, as the present, his face was radiant with a courtly, but mild benevolence; his person was nobly robust and dignified; while the remarkable smallness of his feet, and the almost infantile delicacy, and vivid whiteness and purity of his hands, strikingly contrasted with his fine girth and stature. For in countries like America, where there is no distinct hereditary caste of gentlemen, whose order is factitiously perpetuated as race-horses and lords are in kingly lands; and especially, in those agricultural districts, where, of a hundred hands, that drop a ballot for the Presidency, ninety-nine shall be of the brownest and the brawniest; in such districts, this daintiness of the fingers, when united with a generally manly aspect, assumes a remarkableness unknown in European nations.

This most prepossessing form of the clergyman lost nothing by the character of his manners, which were polished and unobtrusive, but peculiarly insinuating, without the least appearance of craftiness or affectation. Heaven had given him his fine, silver-keyed person for a flute to play on in this world; and he was nearly the perfect master of it. His graceful motions had the undulatoriness of melodious sounds. You almost thought you heard, not saw him. So much the wonderful, yet natural gentleman he seemed, that more than once Mrs. Glendinning had held him up to Pierre as a splendid example of the polishing and gentlemanising influences of Christianity upon the mind and manners; declaring that extravagant as it might seem, she had always been of his father's fancy,—that no man could be a complete gentleman, and preside with dignity at his own table, unless he partook of the church's sacraments. Nor in Mr. Falsgrave's case was this maxim entirely absurd. The child

138 of a poor northern farmer who had wedded a pretty sempstress, the clergyman had no heraldic line of ancestry to show, as warrant and explanation of his handsome person and gentle manners; the first, being the wilful partiality of nature; and the second, the consequence of a scholastic life, attempered by a taste for the choicest female society, however small, which he had always regarded as the best relish of existence. If now his manners thus responded to his person, his mind answered to them both, and was their finest illustration. Besides his eloquent persuasiveness in the pulpit, various fugitive papers upon subjects of nature, art, and literature, attested not only his refined affinity to all beautiful things, visible or invisible; but likewise that he possessed a genius for celebrating such things, which in a less indolent and more ambitious nature, would have been sure to have gained a fair poet's name ere now. For this Mr. Falsgrave was just hovering upon his prime of years; a period which, in such a man, is the sweetest, and, to a mature woman, by far the most attractive of manly life. Youth has not yet completely gone with its beauty, grace, and strength; nor has age at all come with its decrepitudes; though the finest undrossed parts of it—its mildness and its wisdom—have gone on before, as decorous chamberlains precede the sedan of some crutched king.

Such was this Mr. Falsgrave, who now sat at Mrs. Glendinning's breakfast table, a corner of one of that lady's generous napkins so inserted into his snowy bosom, that its folds almost invested him as far down as the table's edge; and he seemed a sacred priest, indeed, breakfasting in his surplice.

'Pray, Mr. Falsgrave,' said Mrs. Glendinning, 'break me off a bit of that roll.'

He made a series of designs for an edition of Milton, for Alderman Boydell, and painted five subjects for the Shakespeare Gallery. His illustrations for the Bible and Prayer-Book were suited to the public taste, and were very popular. He designed also for the 'History of England,' Crabbe's 'Tales,' Moore's 'Loves of the Angels,' 'The Arabian Nights' Entertainments,' and numerous other publications, and by these works he made money and acquired a competence. In 1813 the directors of the British Institution purchased for 450 guineas his 'Elijah restoring the Widow's Son to Life.' His large pictures in oil did not, however, find purchasers, and are now little known. One, his 'Christ crowned with Thorns,' is placed over the altar at All Souls, Langham Place. In 1792 he was elected an associate, and in 1794, a full member of the Royal Academy. Later in his career he engaged in some unfortunate speculations in pictures by the old masters. The artist-dealer was led into improvident purchases, ending in pecuniary embarrassment. His means were dissipated, and he became the pensioner of the Academy. His last employment was in giving drawing lessons to the Princess Victoria. He died December 4, 1836, aged 71.

He will be best known as a book-illustrator and painter in water-colours, and claims to be ranked among the founders of the new art. His works are marked with great sameness and prettiness, both in colour and design, and are effeminate and wanting in character. He succeeded best in subjects admitting a decorative treatment. Some of his little rural scenes are among his best works. He painted some good small whole-length portraits in water-colours. He published in 1808 a volume of poems with his own illustrations, 'A Day in Spring.'

WESTALL,, A.R.A., landscape painter, brother to the above, was born at Hertford, October 12, 1781. He studied under his brother and in the schools of the Royal Academy. He had a great talent for drawing, and at the age of 19 was selected for appointment in 1801 as draftsman to Captain Flinder's [sic] Voyage of Australian Discovery. After nearly two years' employment in this duty, he was wrecked on the north coast, was picked up by a ship bound for China; here he remained several months, visited the interior of the country, and made many interesting sketches. From thence he secured a passage to India, and on landing at Bombay made an excursion into the neighbouring mountains of the Mahratta country, and to the excavated temples of Kurlee and Elephanta. He returned to England after about four years' absence. Finding his services were not immediately required in connexion with the publication of Captain Flinder's voyage, he set off for Madeira, where by great exertions he made a number of sketches, which were all lost, and he was nearly drowned, by the upsetting of the boat on leaving the island. But he prosecuted his journey to the West India Islands, and was so charmed with the scenery that in 1805 he again visited Madeira, and made a large collection of drawings, and on his return to England painted many views of foreign scenery. From 1805 he was a frequent contributor to the Academy exhibitions.

In 1810 he was engaged upon the drawings to illustrate his Australian voyage, and he painted several pictures on commissions from the Admiralty, some of which were exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1812. His works had hitherto been chiefly in water-colours, and in 1811 he was admitted an associate exhibitor of the Water-Colour Society, and in the following year a member, but appears to have resigned, as the same year he was elected an associate of the Royal Academy. He exhibited some landscapes in oil, but they were not much esteemed. His principal employment was upon illustrated publications, mostly landscape views, which he rendered with great fidelity and skill. The chief of these works are 'Views of Scenery in Madeira, the Cape, China, and India,' 1811; ' Views of the Yorkshire Caves,' 1818; 'Britannia Delineata,' and, jointly with Samuel Owen, 'A Picturesque Tour on the River Thames.' He died from the effects of an accident, at North Bank, St John's Wood, January 22, 1850, aged 68.

WESTMACOTT, Sir, Knt, R.A. sculptor. Was the son of a statuary in Mount Street, Grosvenor Square, and was born in London in 1775. Brought up with his father, he imbibed an early taste for art, and was sent to Italy in his 18th year, arriving at Rome in January, 1793. He was furnished with good introductions, made rapid progress, and gained the gold medal for sculpture in the Academy of St. Luke, and removing to Florence, the premium of the first class in sculpture in the Academy there. He afterwards received the Pope's medal at Rome. In 1797 Italy was alarmed by the advance of the French army upon Rome, and he travelled homewards by Bologna to Venice, crossed the Adriatic to visit the German galleries, and reached London at the close of the year. He first exhibited at the Academy in 1797, and from that year exhibited monumental figures and groups, with an occasional bust. Steadily pursuing his art, his first

 holding the palm inwards and shaking the head is a sign of prohibition, holding up the thumb means contemptuous refusal, wagging the middle finger provokes a person to anger, and holding up the open palm is a great insult. Why this last gesture should be insulting does not appear. The tracts in question are peopled by dominant Muhammadan tribes, and the open hand is common on the standards of their Afghan co-religionists across the north-west frontier. In beckoning the hand is held up, palm outwards and the fingers moved downwards and inwards—just the reverse of our gesture. But these differences are readily explicable. The Indian's palm is always much lighter than the back of his hand, so the colour of the palm must attract the attention of the person whom he wishes to call to him much more than the less conspicuous complexion of the back would do. Then the extensor muscles being weaker in all Orientals than the flexor, a great many muscular opposites occur among them: notably in pulling instead of pushing a saw, and the like.

The middle-finger gesture seems to be an attempt to represent a snake's tongue. In Indian art we find a very similar gesture styled the Suchi-hasta or "needle-pointed hand." This term is so translated by Mr. Gangoly, but the resemblance to a needle is not very great. The middle-finger seems to be intended for the tongue as the two fingers on either side of it seem to represent the hood of a cobra. Were putting out the tongue and hissing derived from a similar imitation of the poisonous snakes? Seeing that we find a Sinha-karna hasta or "tiger-making hand" and a gaja-hasta or "elephant's trunk" among the Indian mudras or finger-poses, just as we find children still making shadow-pictures of rabbits, etc., on the wall with their hands, this conjecture seems justified. Other mudras are the

GOOD deal of the romance of the sea has departed since the advent of the great ocean liners, and in place of the blood-stirring roar of the boatswain's mate at midnight to "reef topsails," neatly-clad stewards screwing up ports are the only indications passengers now have that dirty weather is expected.

It is a pleasant change, therefore, to meet with hardy seafarers, who braved the perilous passages on the badly-surveyed coast line of Australia in the sturdy "wind jammers" of fifty years ago, and hear a few of the many exciting incidents which go to build up the maritime history of the country.

No one is more competent to speak on this subject than Captain William Owston, who has been associated with the shipping interests of Western Australia for more than half a century, and has done as much as any other navigator to develop its large trade.

Captain William Owston was born in Kent in 1825, and after leaving school was apprenticed to a shipwright. Subsequently he worked in that home of shipbuilding, the Chatham Dockyard, where he acquired a wide knowledge of the craft. The adventurous spirit of young Owston would not, however, allow him to remain on shore, so he went to sea, and at the age of twenty-four years was second mate and carpenter on board the barque Mary, which dropped anchor off Fremantle in 1849. The barque then made a prosperous run back to the old country, and the young officer, with admirable foresight, saw so great a future before the new colony that he decided to return here. He made arrangements accordingly, and in 1851, when the Mary again reached the Fremantle roads, he was among the first to land.

Shortly after his arrival he shipped on board the schooner Pelsail, engaged in the trade between Fremantle and Champion Bay. The growing trade caused a demand for cargo craft, and two years later he undertook the construction of a large lighter. The material (jarrah timber) used for this was obtained some five miles up the river from Preston Point, where Mr. Owston established a shipbuilding yard.

At this time Fremantle was a port of call for the American whalers requiring repairs, and Captain Owston's experience and ability gained at the shipbuilding yards of the old country enabled him to secure the work, which he executed so satisfactorily, that Mr. Pope, the then American Consul, saw that he got all the work. The perilous nature of the trade in which the vessels were engaged required that the workmanship should be of the highest quality, and the continued demand for his services when vessels came to the port to refit shows his popularity with perhaps the hardest taskmaster in the world—an American whalers' skipper. For three years Captain Owston had a hard but happy life, and then the old craving for blue water again seized him, and he became owner and captain of a smart schooner of 127 tons, appropriately named The New Perseverance. With this vessel he established a lucrative trade between Fremantle and Champion Bay, and he carried horses, sandalwood, and jarrah timber from there to Batavia. It was while engaged in this trade that Captain Owston had an unpleasant experience, which, but for his presence of mind and promptitude of action, would doubtless have caused great hardships, if not the death of several men. The adventure was brought about in this way. A prisoner serving a sentence in the Fremantle Gaol informed the authorities that while engaged as mate on board a Spanish schooner, which had put into Camden Harbour, he had gone ashore and picked up several pounds of gold, which he sold in Liverpool. He offered to point out the locality of the find on the condition that he was liberated from gaol. The authorities naturally regarded such a statement with suspicion, and before agreeing to the conditions communicated with the Home Authorities to ascertain whether a similar quantity of gold had been sold in Liverpool about the date stated. The enquiries were duly made, and it was learned that gold corresponding with the description given had been sold by a seafaring man at Liverpool, but it was not known where it came from. The receipt of this information caused quite a sensation in the colony, and it was decided to accept the convict's terms.

A party consisting of Mr. T. K. Panter, Inspector of Police, who was appointed leader, Constable Buck, Dr. Martin, the convict, whose name was Wildman, and thirty-four volunteers was formed, and Captain Owston's schooner was chartered to convey them to Camden Harbour. The party and twelve pack horses were embarked, and in the early part of 1864 the anchor was dropped at a remote place on the north-west coast. The convict, who had been treated on terms of equality with other members of the exploration party, watched the preparations

 (ardha-chandra) and kartari-hasta, which seems to be an attempt to represent the Indian katār or dagger hidden by the arm. But it is quite possible that this pose, in which the index and little fingers are kept straight and the two middle ones lowered represents a deer as dancing-girls in Southern India still so represent that animal, curving the two upright fingers slightly backwards to indicate its horns.

The diagrams given by Mr. Gangoly appear to represent the fingers in motion as well as in repose. Thus the Sinha-karna hasta seems to represent the index finger closing in on the thumb (Diagrams S), but in X it is the middle-finger which is so moving down. Similarly, the Kataka-hasta, from which Mr. Gangoly derives the Sinha-karna, appears to be always in quick movement. In fact, he speaks of the mudras as "actions of the finger." On the other hand all the open hands are apparently in repose, as in Diagrams D (Araya-hasta), and O (Arayamudra—Patāka-hasta). As when "all the fingers [are] spread out together, the thumb being curled up, it is known as patāka," there are doubtless other varieties of the Abhaya mudra, or re-assuring gesture, each with its shade of meaning. In the Abhaya the fingers are spread out: indeed, as a rule they are held close together but not all pressed together. The open palm used to express contempt has, probably, the fingers radiating from it and bent slightly backwards. The hand held out horizontally with the palm upwards and the fingers in disarray, as it were, signifies resignation or despair—a gesture which has survived in modern Europe.

MONG the pickled fœtuses and bottled bones, Engaged in perfecting the catalogue, I found the last scion of the Senatorial families of Strasbourg, Monsieur Verog.

For two hours he talked of Gallifet; Of Dowson; of the Rhymers' Club; Told me how Johnson (Lionel) died By falling from a high stool in a pub. ..

But showed no trace of alcohol At the autopsy, privately performed— Tissue preserved—the pure mind Arose toward Newman as the whiskey warmed.

Dowson found harlots cheaper than hotels; Headlam for uplift; Image impartially imbued With raptures for Bacchus, Terpsichore and the Church. So spoke the author of "The Dorian Mood ",

 While much in the gesture-language of India is still obscure, it seems to be clear enough that the so-called poses of Indian art include gestures as well as poses of the hands and that the conventionalised forms of both were based on a widely used, well understood and somewhat elaborate gesture-language.

 (Folk-Lore, vol. xxix. p. 219.) following is a story current in the south of the Cochin State, Malabar. Near the Station of Alwaye on the Periar, there is a small village named Uliyannur. Long long ago there lived a master builder of the name Uliyannur Perumthachan. Many of his works are still extant to-day. One of them is the village temple at Uliyannur. The roof is so arranged over a flight of stairs that if you bend to avoid the low roof you are sure to hit your head on the rafters. But if you walk straight up you are unhurt.

Once they wanted him to build a tank, but each one wanted the bathing ghat to face a different direction. Finally, when he built it anyone used to lose his sense of direction the moment he got inside it. This tank was destroyed some years ago when the railway was built.

He is even reputed to have changed the course of a stream.

Once he built a bridge and set a doll at the head of it with the mechanism so arranged that it spat water at the face of anyone who set foot on the bridge. After a time his son himself—a gifted worker—came along and saw it. He built another doll and set it near the first. As soon as the father’s doll spat water, the son’s would give a slap on its face. When the father saw that the next day, he marvelled at it but thought, “If I let this boy of mine to grow up he will be greater than myself.” He was engaged in building the roof of a house. He sent the boy down to fetch a tool. When he was bending to take the tool he let fall a chisel on him and thus killed him.

stories were collected in the northern part of the Ẹdo area in 1909-10, and are mainly from the Ọra and Kukuruku tribes; Irua lies in the Eša country a little to the south-east of the Ọra-Kukuruku boundary; but the difference is practically unimportant; they might well be reckoned to the Agbede group, whose near neighbours they are.

The Ọra country is bordered on the south by the Ọdo proper, on the west by the Yoruba at Ifọ on the north by the Kukuruku, who also form part of the eastern boundary, together with the Eša. Ọra and Eša are both very near, linguistically, to the Ẹdo proper; Eša was subject to Ẹdo till some sixty years ago when Adolo, king of Ẹdo, fought his elder brother, who had established himself in the Eša country, and was defeated. There is a good deal of intermarriage between Ọra and Eša women and Ẹdo men.

The Kukuruku appear to have a Sobo element, which fled from the south of the Ẹdo area to escape the exactions of the king of Ẹdo; they are dwellers mainly in the hill country, but how long they have been established there it is difficult to say; their language is split up into numerous tongues so diverse that towns a few miles apart cannot understand one another. The list of the kings of Ọkpe suggests that the separation of the Ẹdo and Kukuruku may go back six hundred years; but this does not necessarily apply to other sections of the Kukuruku.

Rh The recording of texts in native languages is a lengthy process when the transcriber cannot recognise the different elements in the sentence, which is spoken as a single word. Texts were recorded in most of these languages; but to save time the folk-tales were taken down from the lips of an interpreter and cut down by the omission of the repetitions. In Story XXXII. for example, the formula is repeated for each of the man’s sons and for each of the E.’s sons. Anyone who wishes to reconstruct the original narratives can readily do so by expanding each incident in this way.

The stories from the Ẹdo proper are not included; they are relatively few in number; some will appear in Man, where a Kukuruku fragment was printed in 1917.

Akpasikoko (mosquito) came out and shouted, “I am a man,” and the leopard said, “Hold your tongue.” “You can say I am not a man; you do the same.” “I broke a hundred calabashes fetching water for my father and a hundred on the way back.” “I do nothing for my father; I want what is black and white, to kill it for my father.” So the leopard said: “Nothing is black and white, only myself”; so he ran away and the squirrel laughed at him.

Obe (a snake) was near, and the squirrel pulled out a tooth and shook it at Obe, so Obe ran and met a bush rat and begged him for room to hide. “I was drying myself and saw the leopard run.” The squirrel laughed and I said: “‘Don’t hurt me‘ '; but he pulled a tooth out, so I ran.” But the bush rat could not give him room; he said that if he did the snake would kill his seven children.

A few days later the snake was in the bush rat’s house and called him, saying: “I will kill your son; he humbugs me”; so the rat said: “He is a boy, he knows nothing.”
