 fibres of the roots being spread under ground, imbibe, from the moist earth, juice fit for their nourishment; this is conveyed by the stalk up into the branches and leaves, through little, and, in some plants, imperceptible tubes, and from thence, by the bark, returns again to the root; so that there is in vegetables, as well as animals, a circulation of the vital liquor. By what impulse it is moved, is somewhat hard to discover. It seems to be from the difference of day and night, and other changes in the heat of the air; for the heat dilating, and the cold contracting those little tubes, supposing there be valves in them, it is easy to be conceived how the circulation is performed in plants, where it is not required to be so rapid and quick as in animals.

Nature has provided for the propagation of the species of plants several ways. The first and general is by seed. Besides this, some plants are raised from any part of the root set in the ground; others by new roots that are propagated from the old one, as in tulips; others by offsets, and in others, the branches set in the ground will take root and grow; and last of all, grafting and inoculation, in certain sorts, are known ways of propagation. All these ways of increasing plants make one good part of the skill of gardening; and from the books of gardeners may be best learnt.

is another sort of creatures belonging to this our earth, rather as inhabitants than parts of it. They differ in this from plants, that they are not fixed to any one place, but have a freedom of motion up

 we know not, but a very little beneath the surface of this globe; and whatever we fetch from under ground is only what is lodged in the shell of the earth.

All stones, metals, and minerals, are real vegetables; that is, grow organically from proper seeds, as well as plants.

to the earth itself, we may consider those that are maintained on its surface; which, though they are fastened to it, yet are very distinct from it; and those are the whole tribe of vegetables or plants. These may be divided into three sorts, herbs, shrubs, and trees.

Herbs are those plants whose stalks are soft, and have nothing woody in them, as grass, sowthistle, and hemlock. Shrubs and trees have all wood in them; but with this difference, that shrubs grow not to the height of trees, and usually spread into branches near the surface of the earth; whereas trees generally shoot up in one great stem or body, and then, at a good distance from the earth, spread into branches; thus gooseberries and currants are shrubs; oaks and cherries are trees.

In plants, the most considerable parts are these, the root, the stalk, the leaves, the flower, and the seed. There are very few of them that have not all these parts, though some there are that have no stalk; others that have no leaves; and others that have no flowers. But without seed or root I think there are none.

In vegetables, there are two things chiefly to be considered, their nourishment and propagation.

Their nourishment is thus: the small and tender

 kinds, and sundry bodies that have the texture between earth and stone.

To begin with those fossils which come nearest the earth; under this head we may reckon the several sorts of ochre, chalk, that which they call black-lead, and other bodies of this kind, which are harder than earth, but have not the consistency and hardness of perfect stone.

Next to these may be considered stones of all sorts; whereof there is almost an infinite variety. Some of the most remarkable, either for beauty or use, are these: marble of all kinds, porphyry, granate, freestone, &c. flints, agates, cornelians, pebbles, under which kind come the precious stones, which are but pebbles of an excessive hardness, and, when they are cut and polished, they have an extraordinary lustre. The most noted and esteemed are diamonds, rubies, amethysts, emeralds, topazes, opals.

Besides these we must not omit those which, though of not so much beauty, yet are of greater use, viz. loadstones, whetstones of all kinds, limestones, calamine, or lapis calaminaris; and abundance of others.

Besides these, there are found in the earth several sorts of salts, as eating or common salt, vitriol, sal gemma, and others.

The minerals, or semi-metals, that are dug out of the bowels of the earth, are antimony, cinnabar, zink, &c. to which may be added brimstone.

But the bodies of most use, that are sought for out of the depths of the earth, are the metals; which are distinguished from other bodies by their weight, fusibility, and malleableness; of which there are these sorts, gold, silver, copper, tin, lead, and, the most valuable of them all, iron; to which one may join that anomalous body quicksilver, or mercury.

He that desires to be more particularly informed concerning the qualities and properties of these subterraneous bodies, may consult natural historians and chymists.

Task Group 1.4 (Army Ground Group)

TG 1.4 was responsible for determining damage to selected Army equipment exposed at varying distances from the detonation point and measuring radii of effectiveness for each detonation. Each of the operating task units had Army equipment on certain ships and on Bikini Island for exposure to the nuclear detonations. Figure 10 shows the TG 1.4 organization. Each unit had inspection teams that were assigned to target ships and responsible for loading, securing, maintaining, and inspecting assigned test items. These teams also instructed crews of each target ship concerning exposed test items. Teams were to reboard

Rh velopeth into the embryo and next into visible life like the fruit from the flower. And entering trees, plants, and other vegetable substances, water air, earth, and space, that watery seed of life becometh of quadrupedal or bipedal form. This is the case with all creatures that you see.'

"Ashtaka said, 'O tell me, I ask thee because I have my doubts! Doth a being that hath received a human form enter the womb in its own shape or in some other? How doth it also acquire its distinct and visible shape, eyes and ears, and consciousness as well? Questioned by me, O explain it all! Thou art, O father, one acquainted with the acts and sayings of great beings!' Yayati answered, 'According to the merits of one's acts, the being that in a subtile form co-inheres in the semen that is dropped into the womb is attracted by atmospheric force for purposes of re-birth. It then developeth there in course of time, first becoming the embryo, and is next furnished with the visible physical organism. Coming out of the womb in course of time it becometh conscious of its existence as man, and by his ears becometh sensible of sound; by his eyes, of color and form; by his nose, of scent; by his tongue, of taste; by his whole body, of touch; and by his mind, of ideas. It is thus, O Ashtaka, that the gross and visible body developeth from the subtile essence.'

"Ashtaka asked, 'After death, the body is burnt, buried, or otherwise destroyed. Reduced to nothing upon such dissolution, by what principle is he again revived? Yayati said, 'O thou lion among kings, the person that is dead assumeth a subtile form and retaining consciousness of all his acts as in a dream entereth some other form with a spred quicker than of air itself. The virtuous attain to a superior, and the vicious to an inferior form of existence. The vicious become worms and insects. I have nothing more to say, O thou of great and pure soul! I have told thee how beings are born after development of embryonic forms as four-footed, two-footed, six-footed, and so. What more wilt thou ask me?'

"Ashtaka said, 'How, O father, do men attain to those superior regions whence there is no return to earthly life? Is it by asceticism or knowledge? How also may one

270 gradually attain to felicitous regions? Asked by me, O tell it in full!'

"Yayati answered, 'The wise say that for men there are seven gates through which admission may be gained into Heaven: these are Asceticism, Gift, Quiet of mind, Self-command, Modesty, Simplicity, and Kindness to all creatures. The wise also say that a person loseth all these in consequence of vanity. That man who having acquired knowledge regardeth himself as learned, and with his learning destroyeth the reputation of others, never attaineth to regions of indestructible felicity. That knowledge also doth not make the possessor competent to attain to Brahma. Study, the vow of silence, worship before fire, and sacrifices, these four remove all fear. When however these are mixed with vanity, instead of removing, they cause fear. The wise should never exult on receiving honors; nor should they grieve at insults. For it is the wise alone that honor the wise; the wicked never act like the virtuous. I have given away so much—I have performed so many sacrifices—I have studied so much—I have observed these vows,—such vanity is the root of fear. Therefore thou must not indulge such feelings. Those learned men who accept as their support the unchangeable, inconceivable Brahma alone that ever showereth blessings on persons virtuous as thee, enjoy perfect peace here and hereafter!

And thus ends the ninetieth Section in the Sambhava of the Adi Parva.

( Sambhava Parva continued. )

Ashtaka said, 'Those congnisant with the Vedas differ in opinion as to how the followers of each of the four modes of life, viz, Grihastas, Bhilshus, Brahmacharis, and Vanaprashtas, are to conduct themselves in order to acquire religious merit.'

"Yayati answered, 'These are what a Brahmachari must do. While dwelling in the abode of his preceptor, he must receive lessons only when his preceptor summons him to do


text:
Page:The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa (1884).djvu/305

Rh so; he must attend to the service of his preceptor without waiting for the commands of the latter; he must rise from bed before his preceptor riseth, and go to bed after his preceptor goeth thereto. He must be humble, must have his passions under complete control, must be patient, vigilant, and devoted to study. It is then only that he can achieve success. It hath been said in the oldest Upanishada that a grihastā acquiring wealth by honest means should perform sacrifices; he should ever give in charity, should perform the rites of hospitality unto all arriving at his abode, and should never use anything without giving a portion thereof to others. A Muni without search for food should live in the woods depending on his own vigour; should abstain from all vicious acts; should give away in charity, should never inflict pain on any creature. It is then only that he can achieve success. He, indeed, is a true Bhikshu who doth not support himself by any manual arts, who possesseth numerous accomplishments, who hath his passions under complete control, who is unconnected with all worldly concerns, who sleepeth not under the shelter of a house-holder's roof, who is without wife, and who going a little way every day, travelleth over a large extent of country. A learned man should adopt the Vanaprashta mode of life after performance of the necessary rites, when he hath been able to control his appetites for enjoyment and desire of acquiring valuable possessions. When one dieth in the woods while leading the Vanaprashta mode of life, he maketh his ancestors and succesors, numbering ten generations including himself, fuse with the Divine essence.'

"Ashataka asked, 'How many kinds of Munis are there, and how many kinds of Mounis (observers of the vow of silence)?'

"Yayati answered, 'He, indeed, is a Muni who, though dwelling in the woods, hath an inhabited place near, or who, though dwelling in an inhabited place, hath the woods near.'

"Ashtaka enquired what it meant. Yayati replied, 'A Muni withdrawing himself from all worldly objects liveth in the woods. And though he might never seek to surround himself with those objects that are procurable in inhabited


text:
Page:The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa (1884).djvu/306

272 places he might yet obtain them all by virtue of his ascetic power. He may truly be said to dwell in the woods having an inhabited place near to himself. Again, a wise man withdrawn from all earthly objects might live in a hamlet leading the life of a hermit. He may never exhibit the pride of family, birth, or learning. Clad in the scantiest robes he may yet regard himself as attired in the richest vestments. He may be content with food just enough for supporting life. Such a person, though dwelling in an inhabited place, liveth yet in the woods.

"The person again who, with passions under complete control, adopteth the vow of silence, refraining from action and entertaining no desire, achieveth success. Why shouldst thou not, indeed, reverence the man who liveth on clean food, who refraineth from ever injuring others, whose heart is ever pure, who is displayed in the splendour of ascetic attributes; who is free from the leaden weight of desire, who abstaineth from injury even when sanctioned by religion? Emaciated by austerities, and reduced in flesh, marrow, and blood, such a one conquereth not only thus but the highest world as well. And when the Muni sits in yoga meditation becoming indifferent to happiness and misery, honor and insult, he then leaveth this world and enjoyeth communion with Brahma. When the Muni taketh food like kine and other animals, , without providing for it beforehand and without any relish (like a sleeping infant feeding on the mother's pap) then like the all-pervading spirit he becometh identified with the whole universe and attaineth to salvation.'

And so ends the ninety-first Section in the Sambhava of the Adi Parva.

( Sambhava Parva continued. )

"Ashtaka asked, 'Who amongst these, O king, both exerting constantly like the Sun and the Moon, first attaineth to communion with Brahma,—the ascetic or the man of knowledge?'

"Yayati answered, 'The wise, by help of the Veda and of

ships after the tests when ships were radiologically cleared and safe for boarding (Reference C.9.149, p. 3). TG 1.4 was composed of a headquarters and the following six operating task units:

 * TU 1.4.1 (Engineer Unit)

 * TU 1.4.2 (Signal Unit)

 * TU 1.4.3 (Ordnance Unit)

 * TU 1.4.4 (Chemical Unit)

 * TU 1.4.5 (Quartermaster Unit)

 * TU 1.4.6 (Air Unit).

Task Group 1.5 (Army Air Group)

TG 1.5, the Army Air Group, composed of provisional Army Air Forces units, was assigned the mission of dropping the ABLE weapon on the target array in Bikini Lagoon. In addition, it furnished aircraft, facilities, and crews for photography, weather reconnaissance, air-sea rescue, cloud sampling, pressure gauge drops, and air transport. Table 2 lists the Army aircraft used during CROSSROADS. B-29s and F-13s, which were modified B-29s, have become intermingled at some points in the historical accounts of Army Air Group operations. The totals for each shown here are correct by most accounts. TG 1.5 was composed of the following 10 task units (as shown in Figure 11).

TASK UNIT 1.5.1 (TACTICAL OPERATIONS UNIT). TU 1.5.1 trained crews, prepared equipment for the tests, airdropped the test ABLE weapon, set up the air search radar in the Bikini area, and provided radar analyses of practice bomb

I have abundance here of all good things, a good conscience included; for I really cannot see that I have done any wrong. This was my position: I owed half a million of money; and I had a trifle in my pocket. It was clear that this trifle could never find its way to the right owner. The question was, whether I should keep it, and live like a gentleman; or hand it over to lawyers and commissioners of bankruptcy, and die like a dog on a dunghill. If I could have thought that the said lawyers, &c., had a better title to it than myself, I might have hesitated; but, as such title was not apparent to my satisfaction, I decided the question in my own favor; the right owners, as I have already said, being out of the question altogether.

runs. It also operated two B-29s that dropped pressure gauges during each test. In addition, after each detonation it tracked the radioactive clouds and sampled air around the clouds. The unit was based on Kwajalein Island.

TASK UNIT 1.5.2 (ARMY AIR PHOTOGRAPHIC UNIT). TU 1.5.2 conducted air photographic operations and furnished aircraft for radiological reconnaissance flights. It was stationed on Kwajalein Island.

TASK UNIT 1.5.3 (INSTRUMENTATION AND TEST REQUIREMENTS UNIT). TU 1.5.3 and TU 1.5.6 (Army Drone Unit) were combined before the operation began. It was responsible for providing the B-17 drone and B-17 drone-controller aircraft for cloud-sampling operations. The drone mission required that the unit provide and maintain special equipment for sampling and for drone control operations. This included special cameras mounted in the drones. This unit was located on Enewetak Island.

TASK UNIT 1.5.4 (AIR TRANSPORT UNIT). TU 1.5.4 provided airlift for personnel, supplies, and equipment between Roswell Army Air Field, New Mexico, and the Pacific Test Area. It also provided air shuttle service among Kwajalein, Bikini, and Enewetak islands. Both C-46s and C-54s were available. This unit, stationed on Kwajalein Island, was responsible to assist in evacuating Enewetak Island in case of radiological danger to personnel on that island.

TASK UNIT 1.5.5 (AIR SERVICE UNIT). TU 1.5.5 serviced and maintained Army aircraft at Kwajalein Island. In addition to service and maintenance personnel, the task unit had engineers, military policemen, and weather-forecasting personnel.

TASK UNIT 1.5.7 (ARMY AIR WEATHER RECONNAISSANCE UNIT). TU 1.5.7 had three WB-29 aircraft with crews trained in weather reconnaissance. It flew long-range weather reconnaissance missions before each test. This unit was located on Kwajalein Island.

TASK UNIT 1.5.8 (AIR ORIENTATION UNIT). TU 1.5.8, based on Kwajalein Island, was responsible for accommodating visitors, observers, the press, and

Let not your allegro vivace be damped by young Crotchet's desertion, which, though I have not heard it, I take for granted. He is, like myself, a scientific politician, and has an eye as keen as a needle, to his own interest. He has had good luck so far, and is gorgeous in the spoils of many gulls, but I think the Polar Basin and Walrus Company will be too much for him yet. There has been a splendid outlay on credit, and he is the only man, of the original parties concerned, of whom his Majesty's sheriffs could give any account.

Mr. Touchandgo will have told you of our arrival here, of our setting up a bank, and so forth. We came here in a tilted waggon, which served us for parlour, kitchen, and all. We soon got up a log-house; and, unluckily, we as soon got it down again, for the first fire we made in it, burned down house and all. However, our second experiment was more fortunate; and we are pretty well lodged in a house of three rooms on a floor; I should say the floor, for there is but one.

 Mr. Touchandgo has bought some, and they are building him a villa. Mr. Touchandgo is in a thriving way, but he is not happy here: he longs for parties and concerts, and a seat in Congress. He thinks it very hard that he cannot buy one with his own coinage, as he used to do in England. Besides, he is afraid of the Regulators, who, if they do not like a man's character, wait upon him and flog him, doubling the dose at stated intervals, till he takes himself off. He does not like this system of administering justice: though I think he has nothing to fear from it. He has the character of having money, which is the best of all characters here, as at home. He lets his old English prejudices influence his opinions of his new neighbours; but I assure you they have many virtues.

There was a trial; the jury gave two dollars damages; the judge said they must find guilty or not guilty; but the counsel for the defendant (they would not call him prisoner,) offered to fight the judge upon the point: and as this was said literally, not metaphorically, and the counsel was a stout fellow, the judge gave in. The two dollars damages were not paid after all; for the defendant challenged the foreman to box for double or quits, and the foreman was beaten. The folks in New York made a great outcry about it, but here it was considered all as it should be.

Miss Touchandgo replied as follows, to the first of these letters:

I am sure you have the best of hearts, and I have no doubt you have acted with the best intentions. My lover, or I should rather say, my fortune's lover, has indeed forsaken me. I cannot say I did not feel it; indeed, I cried very much; and the altered looks of people who used to be so delighted to see me, really annoyed me so, that I determined to change the scene altogether. I have come into Wales, and am boarding with a farmer and his wife. Their stock of English is very small; but I managed to agree with them,

You shall play it on your flute at eight o'clock every Saturday evening, and I will play and sing it at the same time, and I will fancy that I hear my dear papa accompanying me.

The people in London said very unkind things of you: they hurt me very much at the time; but now I am out of their way, I do not seem to think their opinion of much consequence. I am sure, when I recollect, at leisure, every thing I have seen and heard among them, I cannot make out what they do that is so virtuous, as to set them up for judges of morals. And I am sure they never speak the truth about any thing, and there is

Again, I had heard all my life of the gentle and timid Hindoos, patient under injuries, servile to their superiors, &c. Now, this is doubtless, to a certain extent, true of the Bengalees, (who, by the way, are never reckoned among the nations of Hindostan, by those who speak the language of that country,) and there are a great many people in Calcutta who maintain that all the natives of India are alike. But even in Bengal, gentle as the exterior manners of the people are, there are large districts close to Calcutta, where the work of carding, burning, ravishing, murder, and robbery, goes on as systematically, and in nearly the same manner, as in the worst part of Ireland, and on entering Hindostan, properly so called, which in the estimation of the natives reaches from the Rajmahal hills to Agra, and from the mountains of Kemaoon to Bundelcund, I was struck and surprised to find a people equal in stature and strength to the average of European nations, despising rice and rice-eaters, feeding on wheat and barley bread, exhibiting in their appearance, conversation, and habits of life, a grave, proud, and, decidedly, a martial character, accustomed universally to the use of arms and athletic exercises from their cradles, and preferring, very greatly, military service to any other means of livelihoods. This part of their character, but in a ruder and

Rh wilder form and debased by much alloy of treachery and violence, is conspicuous in the smaller and less good-looking inhabitants of Rajpootana and Malwah; while the mountains and woods, wherever they occur, shew specimens of a race entirely different from all these, and in a state of society scarcely elevated above the savages of New Holland, or New Zealand; and the inhabitants, I am assured, of the Deckan, and of the Presidencies of Madras and Bombay, are as different from those which I have seen, and from each other, as the French and Portuguese from the Greeks, Germans, or Poles; so idle is it to ascribe uniformity of character to the inhabitants of a country so extensive, and subdivided by so many almost impassable tracts of mountain and jungle; and so little do the majority of those whom I have seen deserve the gentle and imbecile character often assigned to them. Another instance of this want of information, which at the time of my arrival excited much talk in Bengal, was the assertion made in Parliament, I forget by whom, that “there was little or no sugar cultivated in India, and that the sugar mostly used there came from Sumatra and Java.” Now this even the cockneys of Calcutta must have known to be wrong, and I can answer for myself, that in the whole range of Calcutta, from Dacca to Delhi, and thence through the greater part of Rajpootana and Malwah, the raising of sugar is as usual a part of husbandry, as turnips or potatoes in England; and that they prepare it in every form, except the loaf, which is usually met with in Europe.

An old Welsh bard here, who wears a waistcoat embroidered with leeks, and is called the Green Bard of Cadair Idris, says the Scotch would be the best people in the world, if there was nobody but themselves to give them a character: and so I think would the Londoners.

350 however, is not the most material point in which the state of arts and society in India has been underrated. I met not long since with a speech by a leading member of the Scotch General Assembly, declaring his “conviction that the truths of Christianity could not be received by men in so rude a state as the East Indians; and that it was necessary to give them first a relish for the habits and comforts of civilized life before they could embrace the truths of the Gospel.” The same slang (for it is nothing more) I have seen repeated in divers pamphlets, and even heard it in conversations at Calcutta. Yet, though it is certainly true that the lower classes of Indians are miserably poor, and that there are many extensive districts where, both among low and high, the laws are very little obeyed, and there is a great deal of robbery, oppression, and even ferocity, I know no part of the population, except the mountain tribes already mentioned, who can, with any propriety of language, be called uncivilized.

Of the unpropitious circumstances which I have mentioned, the former arises from a population continually pressing on the utmost limits of subsistence, and which is thus kept up, not by any dislike or indifference to a better diet, or more ample clothing, or more numerous ornaments than now usually fall to the peasant’s share (for, on the contrary, if he has the means he is fonder of external shew and a respectable appearance, than those of his rank in many nations of Europe,) but by the foolish superstition, which Christianity only is likely

 His voice, his accent, and his transport, gave me no room to doubt that he was my late servant, whom I had lost in the Castle."

The honest fellow could find no words to express his joy, at my not having been famished with my companions in the cellar, as it had been the intention of the robbers: He expressed his joy in so noisy a manner, that we were soon surrounded by the recruits. I begged the serjeants to indulge me with a private conversation with my honest servant, which they granted me with great politeness: I called for the host, requesting him to let us have a room to ourselves, that we might converse without being interrupted by the curiosity of his noisy guests.

As soon as we were in private, I requested John to give me a brief account of what had happened to him after we had left him snoring in the great hall of the Castle; he was very willing to satisfy my curiosity, and related as follows:

 I was roused from my sleep by a violent shaking, and, recovering from my drowsiness, saw myself seized by two ill-looking fellows, who were employed to drag me forcibly away. Fear and terror bereft me at first of all power of utterance and resistance. I attempted several times to cry, but I could not pronounce a single word, and, as much as I could observe through the midnight darkness, saw myself carried down the spiral staircase, over the court-yard: When we were arrived at the gate, I was tied upon a horse, and surrounded by a numerous crew, who took me between them and rode away in full speed. My feet being tied together under the horse's belly, it was out of my power to stir, which rendered my situation exceeding painful.

 soul, being in the power of those merciless ruffians, who were still sweeping the field with all possible expedition, not caring for the excruciating pains I suffered, and forcing my horse to leap over hedges and ditches.

The swiftness of the race and my uncomfortable situation, deprived me, at length, of all power of recollection, and threw me into a kind of stupefaction which prevented me from observing how long our journey had lasted. I was seized with a fainting fit, and when my recollection returned, observed that I was shut up in a subterraneous dungeon, an old hag was rubbing me with onions, and, when I recovered from the state of stupefaction, occasioned by the cruelty of my leaders:She fetched a bottle of brandy, admonishing me, in a rough uncouth dialect, to drink plenty of it, which I declined, requesting her to rub my lacerated limbs with it.

 and distant from it a yard or thereabouts. This being placed, I will seek in the Plain the place from whence one of the stars of Charls's Waine, in passing by the Meridian, cometh to hide it self behind the beam so placed, or in case the beam should not be so big as to hide the star, I will finde a station where one may see the said beam to cut the said star into two equal parts; an effect that with an * exquisite Telescope may be perfectly discerned. And if in the place where the said accident is discovered, there were some building, it will be the more commodious; but if not, I will cause a Pole to be stuck very fast in the ground, with some standing mark to direct where to place the eye anew, when ever I have a mind to repeat the observation. The first of which observations I will make about the Summer Solstice, to continue afterwards from Moneth to Moneth, or when I shall so please, to the other Solstice; with which observation one may discover the elevation and depression of the star, though it be very small. And if in that operation it shall happen, that any mutation shall discover it self, what and how great benefit will it bring to Astronomy? Seeing that thereby, besides our being assured of the annual motion, we may come to know the grandure and distance of the same star.

I very well comprehend your whole proceedings; and the operation seems to me so easie, and so commodious for the purpose, that it may very rationally be thought, that either Copernicus himself, or some other Astronomer had made trial of it.

But I judg the quite contrary, for it is not probable, that if any one had experimented it, he would not have mentioned the event, whether it fell out in favour of this, or that opinion; besides that, no man that I can find, either for this, or any other end, did ever go about to make such an Observation; which also without an exact Telescope could but badly be effected.

I am fully satisfied with what you say. But seeing that it is a great while to night, if you desire that I shall passe the same quietly, let it not be a trouble to you to explain unto us those Problems, the declaration whereof you did even now request might be deferred until too morrow. Be pleased to grant us your promised indulgence, and, laying aside all other discourses, proceed to shew us, that the motions which Copernicus assigns to the Earth being taken for granted, and supposing the Sun and fixed stars immoveable, there may follow the same accidents touching the elevations and depressions of the Sun, touching the mutations of the Seasons, and the inequality of dayes and nights, &c. in the self same manner, just as they are with

354 tunities of information, it is apparent how little sense there is in the doctrine that we must keep the natives of Hindostan in ignorance, if we would continue to govern them. The fact is, that they know enough already to do us a great deal of mischief if they should find it their interest to make the trial. They are in a fair way, by degrees, to acquire still more knowledge for themselves; and the question is, whether it is not the part of wisdom, as well as duty, to superintend and promote their education while it is yet in our power, and to supply them with such knowledge as will be at once most harmless to ourselves and most useful to them.

In this work the most important part is to give them a better religion. Knowing how strongly I feel on this subject, you will not be surprised at my placing it foremost. But even if Christianity were out of the question, and if when I had wheeled away the rubbish of the old pagodas, I had nothing better than simple Deism to erect in their stead, I should still feel some of the anxiety which now urges me. It is necessary to see idolatry, to be fully sensible of its mischievous effects on the human mind. But of all idolatries which I have ever read or heard of, the religion of the Hindoos, in which I have taken some pains to inform myself, really appears to me the worst, both in the degrading notions which it gives of the Deity; in the endless round of its burdensome ceremonies, which occupy the time and distract the thoughts, without either instructing or interesting its votaries; in the

Rh filthy acts of uncleanness and cruelty, not only permitted, but enjoined, and inseparably interwoven with those ceremonies; in the system of castes, a system which tends, more than any thing else the Devil has yet invented, to destroy the feelings of general benevolence, and to make nine-tenths of mankind the hopeless slaves of the remainder; and in the total absence of any popular system of morals, or any single lesson which the people at large ever hear, to live virtuously and do good to each other. I do not say, indeed, that there are not some scattered lessons of this kind to be found in their ancient books; but those books are neither accessible to the people at large, nor are these last permitted to read them; and in general all the sins that a Sudra is taught to fear are, killing a cow, offending a Brahmin, or neglecting one of the many frivolous rites by which their deities are supposed to be conciliated. Accordingly, though the general sobriety of the Hindoos (a virtue which they possess in common with most inhabitants of warm climates,) affords a very great facility to the maintenance of public order and decorum, I really never have met with a race of men whose standard of morality is so low, who feel so little apparent shame on being detected in a falsehood, or so little interest in the sufferings of a neighbour, not being of their own caste or family; whose ordinary and familiar conversation is so licentious; or, in the wilder and more lawless districts, who shed blood with so little repugnance. The good qualities which there are among them (and thank God there

356 there is a great deal of good among them still) are, in no instance that I am aware of, connected with, or arising out of, their religion, since it is in no instance to good deeds or virtuous habits of life that the future rewards in which they believe are promised. Their bravery, their fidelity to their employers, their temperance, and (wherever they are found) their humanity, and gentleness of disposition, appear to arise exclusively from a natural happy temperament, from an honourable pride in their own renown, and the renown of their ancestors; and from the goodness of God, who seems unwilling that his image should be entirely defaced even in the midst of the grossest error. The Mussulmans have a far better creed, and though they seldom either like the English, or are liked by them, I am inclined to think are, on the whole, a better people. Yet even with them, the forms of their worship have a natural tendency to make men hypocrites, and the overweening contempt with which they are inspired for all the world beside, the degradation of their women by the system of polygamy, and the detestable crimes, which, owing to this degradation, are almost universal, are such as, even if I had no ulterior hope, would make me anxious to attract them to a better or more harmless system.

In this work, thank God, in those parts of India which I have visited, a beginning has been made, and a degree of success obtained, at least commensurate to the few years during which our Missionaries have laboured; and it is still going on in the

354345 [sic] facility apprehended in the Ptolomaick Systeme.

I neither ought, nor can deny any thing that Sagredus shall request: And the delay by me desired was to no other end, save only that I might have time once again to methodize those prefatory points, in my fancy, that serve for a large and plain declaration of the manner how the forenamed accidents follow, as well in the Copernican position, as in the Ptolomaick: nay, with much greater facility and simplicity in that than in this. Whence one may manifestly conceive that Hypothesis to be as easie to be effected by nature, as difficult to be apprehended by the understanding: yet neverthelesse, I hope by making use of another kind of explanation, than that used by Copernicus, to render likewise the apprehending of it somewhat lesse obscure. Which that I may do, I will propose certain suppositions of themselves known and manifest, and they shall be these that follow.

First, I suppose that the Earth is a spherical body, turning round upon its own Axis and Poles, and that each point assigned in its superficies, describeth the circumference of a circle, greater or lesser, according as the point assigned shall be neerer or farther from the Poles: And that of these circles the greatest is that which is described by a point equidistant from the said Poles; and all these circles are parallel to each other; and Parallels we will call them.

Secondly, The Earth being of a Spherical Figure, and of an opacous substance, it is continually illuminated by the Sun, according to the half of its surface, the other half remaining obscure, and the boundary that distinguisheth the illuminated part from the dark being a grand circle, we will call that circle the terminator of the light.

Thirdly, If the Circle that is terminator of the light should passe by the Poles of the Earth, it would cut (being a grand and principal circle) all the parallels into equal parts; but not passing by the Poles, it would cut them all in parts unequal, except only the circle in the middle, which, as being a grand circle will be cut into equal parts.

Fourthly, The Earth turning round upon its own Poles, the quantities of dayes and nights are termined by the arches of the Parallels, intersected by the circle, that is, the terminator of the light, and the arch that is scituate in the illuminated Hemisphere prescribeth the length of the day, and the remainer is the quantity of the night.

These things being presupposed, for the more clear understanding of that which remaines to be said, we will lay it down in a Figure. And first, we will draw the circumference of a circle, that shall represent unto us that of the grand Orb descri-

 bed in the plain of the Ecliptick, and this we will divide into four equal parts with the two diameters Capricorn Cancer, and Libra Aries, which, at the same time, shall represent unto us the four Cardinal points, that is, the two Solstices, and the two Equinoctials; and in the centre of that circle we will place the Sun O, fixed and immoveable.

Let us next draw about the four points, Capricorn, Cancer, Libra and Aries, as centres, four equal circles, which represent unto us the Earth placed in them at four several times of the year. The which, with its centre, in the space of a year, passeth through the whole circumference, Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, Libra, moving from East to West, that is, according to the order of the Signes. It is already manifest, that whilst the Earth is in Capricorn, the Sun will appear in Cancer, and the Earth moving along the arch Capricorn Aries, the Sun will seem to move along the arch Cancer Libra, and in short, will run thorow the Zodiack according to the order of the Signes, in the space of a year; and by this first assumption, without all question, full satisfaction is given for the Suns apparent annual motion under the Ecliptick. Now, coming to the other, that is, the diurnal motion of the Earth in it self, it is necessary to establish its Poles and its Axis, the which must be understood not to be erect perpendicularly upon the plain of the Ecliptick, that is, not to be parallel to the Axis of the grand Orb, but declining from a right angle 23 degrees and an half, or thereabouts, with its North Pole towards

Page:Mathematical collections and translations, in two tomes - Salusbury (1661).djvu/383

 the Axis of the grand Orb, the Earths centre being in the Solstitial point of Capricorn. Supposing therefore the Terrestrial Globe to have its centre in the point Capricorn, we will describe its Poles and Axis AB, inclined upon the diameter Capricorn Cancer 23 degrees and an half; so that the angle A Capricorn Cancer cometh to be the complement of a Quadrant or Radius, that is, 66 degrees and an half; and this inclination must be understood to be immutable, and we will suppose the superiour Pole A to be Boreal, or North, and the other Austral, or South. Now imagining the Earth to revolve in it self about the Axis AB in twenty four hours, from West to East, there shall by all the points assigned in its superficies, be circles described parallel to each other. We will draw, in this first position of the Earth, the greatest CD, and those two distant from it gr. 23. and an half, EF above, and GM beneath, and the other two extream ones IK and LM remote, by those intervals from the Poles A and B; and as we have marked these five, so we may imagine innumerable others, parallel to these, described by the innumerable points of the Terrestrial surface. Next let us suppose the Earth, with the annual motion of its centre, to transferre it self into the other places already marked; but to passe thither in such a manner, that its own Axis AB shall not only not change inclination upon the plain of the Ecliptick, but shall also never vary direction; so that alwayes keeping parallel to it self, it may continually tend towards the same part of the Universe, or, if you will, of the Firmament, whereas, if we do but suppose it prolonged, it will, with its extream termes, designe a Circle parallel and equal to the grand Orb, Libra Capricorn Aries Cancer, as the superiour base of a Cylinder described by it self in the annual motion above the inferiour base, Libra Capricorn Aries Cancer. And therefore this immutability of inclination continuing, we will design these other three figures about the centres Aries, Cancer, and Libra, alike in every thing to that first described about the centre Capricorn. Now we will consider the first figure of the Earth, in which, in regard the Axis AB is declined from perpendicularity upon the diameter Capricorn Cancer 23 degrees and an half towards the Sun O, and the arch AI being also 23 degrees and an half, the illumination of the Sun will illustrate the Hemisphere of the Terrestrial Globe exposed towards the Sun (of which, in this place, half is to be seen) divided from the obscure part by the Terminator of the light IM, by which the parallel CD, as being a grand circle, shall come to be divided into equal parts, but all the rest into parts unequal; being that the terminator of the light IM passeth not by their Poles AB, and the parallel IK, together with all the rest

 very glad to see her, said, "Polly, my girl, help me out of this pickle."

"Don't touch him," cried cook.

"I'm sure, I shall!" returned Mary, "Why shouldn't I?"

"He has been the cause of all!" replied cook.

"Don't you mind her," said Judkins. "There, put your foot against the tub and take hold of my hands!"

Mary did so, and pulled him fairly up, and the tub rose with him; but he soon discarded that, and when he found himself free, he went boldly up to cook and asked her what she really meant.

"What do I mean," replied cook, who was, under present circumstances, somewhat more cautious; "why, this is what I mean—I mean to say that you or somebody else has been stuffing up my chimney."

"Stuffing up your chimney!" retorted Judkins. "Why you aint fit to live on a civilized scale. You took advantage of my position in society just now; but I tell you again and again you're a lunatic, and don't ought to breathe the same air as a Christian. Stop up your chimney! Why don't you go then and onstop it?"

"Cause, I don't want to be choked," replied cook.

"Choked!" echoed Judkins; "if you was choked, it would in my mind be a blessing." And he tried to rub his blade bones, but couldn't get near them, which was lamentable, seeing that they were painful in the extreme, for as they couldn't yield to the edge of the tub, and as the edge of the tub wouldn't yield an inch to them, the pressure had really been very severe.

"Well," said Mary, "what's to be done? Missis won't be long now afore she's up, and if she comes down and finds no breakfast ready for her, she won't be best pleased."

"Pleased! no more she don't ought," returned cook. "The very morning too she's going up to London. Do you think that I'd have such people about me? You'd better go round and light a fire in the parlour, and bile the kettle there. There's no chance of it's ever being biled in the kitchen. Did you ever see," she added, pointing fiercely to the smoke which still continued to rush in volumes into the garden.

"I shall have a pretty job after this. Every individual thing in the place will be smothered. But go, Mary, go and light a fire in the parlour."

And Mary for that purpose did go; and while cook was earnestly contemplating the smoke which, as the flames had expired, grew less and less dense, the unhappy man Judkins was silently invoking that spirit of ingenuity which he felt he had in him, with the view of replacing the bottom of the tub.

Scarcely, however, had he arrived at the conclusion that, if he could get it into the groove again it would hold, when Mary came rushing round the cottage, exclaiming, "It's just the same! they're all alike! the parlour's chock full of one solid mask of smoke."

"What," cried cook, glancing at Judkins significantly, "has he stuffed up the parlour chimney too?"


text:
Page:Sylvester Sound the Somnambulist (1844).djvu/159

 "I wish your mouth was stuffed up," observed Judkins, with asperity, "that would be a comfort to all mankind. The devil's in the chimnies, that's my belief," he added; and just as he had finished this remarkable sentence, their mistress's bell rung violently.

"There!" cried cook, "now we shall just see who's right and who's wrong. Come along, Mary; we'll both go up to missis together."

"And if you say any thing about me," said Judkins, "I'll let you know the difference."

"I shan't mince the matter a mite," retorted cook.

"No, I know you won't," said Judkins. "If ever there was a imp, she's one," he added, as cook and Mary went round to answer the bell. But before they reached the chamber, their mistress met them, for as the parlour chimney communicated with the one in her room, the smoke which issued from it had driven her out.

"What on earth is the matter?" she demanded. "Where does all this smoke come from?"

"The chimney," said cook.

"Is the chimney on fire?"

"No; it's stuffed up with something, ma'am."

"Send for the sweep instantly! Don't lose a moment. Tell Judkins to make the utmost haste. Good gracious me," she continued, knocking at Sylvester's door, as Mary ran down stairs to send Judkins off for the village sweep, "Sylvester, my love!" she added, knocking still louder.

"Great heavens!—Sylvester!—Sylvester!—come to the door."

"Is that you, aunt?" he cried; and on hearing his voice, she clasped her hands, and fervently thanked heaven that he was safe.

"What is the matter?" he inquired on opening the door.

His aunt fell upon his neck, and could not for a moment answer.

"What is it?—what has happened?" again he demanded.

"Nothing, my love," she replied, "nothing of importance. I feared that you had been overpowered by the smoke."

"What, is there a fire?"

"No, no, no—no, my love—no! The chimney's out of order—yes—the chimney's out of order—nothing more."

"Then why do you tremble so?"

"Do I tremble now? I thought the smoke might have reached your room."

"No, I've had no smoke here. I smell it now strongly. But come, come! Dear aunt, you will cause me to think that something more has occurred."

"No, no—nothing more—nothing more—believe me.

"Then compose yourself: come!—the smoke will very soon evaporate. I'll just slip my things on: I'll not be a moment."

Aunt Eleanor then descended with Mary, and on going into the parlour, in which no attempt to light a fire had been made, she examined the chimney, and being unable to see anything in it, at once directed that to be tried.

And it was tried, and, lo! the result was the same: they were compelled to leave the room to escape suffocation.

YOU have, indeed, reason to be surprised, that I should have concealed my correspondence with miss Blackerby from you, to whom I disclosed all my other connexions of that nature; but the truth is, I never dreamed of any such commerce, till your last informed me, that it had produced something which could not be much longer concealed. It is a lucky circumstance, however, that her reputation will not suffer any detriment, but rather derive advantage from the discovery; which will prove at least, that it is not quite so rotten as most people imagined—For my own part, I declare to you, in all the sincerity of friendship, that, far from having any amorous intercourse with the object in question, I ne-

 the necessary correllative of object or quicquid objicitur menti.) For we can know that only which is true: and the truth is universally placed in the coincidence of the thought with the thing, of the representation with the object represented.

Now the sum of all that is merely, we will henceforth call , confining the term to its passive and material sense, as comprising all the phænomena by which its existence is made known to us. On the other hand the sum of all that is, we may comprehend in the name of the or. Both conceptions are in necessary antithesis. Intelligence is conceived of as exclusively representative, nature as exclusively represented; the one as conscious, the other as without consciousness. Now in all acts of positive knowledge there is required a reciprocal concurrence of both, namely of the conscious being, and of that which is in itself unconscious. Our problem is to explain this concurrence, its possibility and its necessity.

During the act of knowledge itself, the objective and subjective are so instantly united, that we cannot determine to which of the two the priority belongs. There is here no first, and no second; both are coinstantaneous and one. While I am attempting to explain this intimate coalition, I must suppose it dissolved.

 I must necessarily set out from the one, to which therefore I give hypothetical antecedence, in order to arrive at the other. But as there are but two factors or elements in the problem, subject and object, and as it is left indeterminate from which of them I should commence, there are two cases equally possible.

The notion of the subjective is not contained in the notion of the objective. On the contrary they mutually exclude each other. The subjective therefore must supervene to the objective. The conception of nature does not apparently involve the co-presence of an intelligence making an ideal duplicate of it, i. e. representing it. This desk for instance would (according to our natural notions) be, though there should exist no sentient being to look at it. This then is the problem of natural philosophy. It assumes the objective or unconscious nature as the first, and has therefore to explain how intelligence can supervene to it, or how itself can grow into intelligence. If it should appear, that all enlightened naturalists without having distinctly proposed the problem to themselves have yet constantly moved in the line of its solution, it must afford a strong pre-

 sumption that the problem itself is founded in nature. For if all knowledge has as it were two poles reciprocally required and presupposed, all sciences must proceed from the one or the other, and must tend toward the opposite as far as the equatorial point in which both are reconciled and become identical. The necessary tendence therefore of all natural philosophy is from nature to intelligence; and this, and no other is the true ground and occasion of the instinctive striving to introduce theory into our views of natural phænomena. The highest perfection of natural philosophy would consist in the perfect spiritualization of all the laws of nature into laws of intuition and intellect. The phænomena (the material) must wholly disappear, and the laws alone (the formal) must remain. Thence it comes, that in nature itself the more the principle of law breaks forth, the more does the husk drop off, the phenomena themselves become more spiritual and at length cease altogether in our consciousness. The optical phænomena are but a geometry, the lines of which are drawn by light, and the materiality of this light itself has already become matter of doubt. In the appearances of magnetism all trace of matter is lost, and of the phænomena of gravitation, which not a few among the most illustrious Newtonians have declared no otherwise com-

Rh (peepul, or ficus religiosa,) which no Hindoo can root out, or even lop without a deadly sin, soon sows its seeds, and fixes its roots in the joints of the arching, and being of rapid growth at the same time, in a very few years increases its picturesque and antique appearance, and secures its eventual destruction; lastly, no man in this country repairs or completes what his father has begun, preferring to begin something else, by which his own name may be remembered. Accordingly, in Dacca are many fine ruins, which at first impressed me with a great idea of their age. Yet Dacca is a modern city, founded, or at least raised from insignificance under in A.D.  1608; and the tradition of the place is, that these fine buildings were erected by European architects in the service of the then governor. At Benares, the principal temple has an appearance so venerable that one might suppose it to have stood unaltered ever since the Greta Yug, and that and  had performed austerities within its precincts. Yet it is historically certain that all the Hindoo temples of consequence in Benares were pulled down by, the contemporary of , and that the present structure must have been raised since that time. The observatories of Benares, Delhi, and Jyepoor, I heard spoken of in the carelessness of conversation, not only as extremely curious in themselves, (which they certainly are,) but as monuments of the ancient science of the Hindoos. All three, however, are known to be the work of the Raja, who died in 1742.

on a time there was a king who had an only daughter. He was so proud and so fond of her, that he was in constant terror that something would happen to her if she went outside the palace, and thus, owing to his great love for her, he forced her to lead the life of a prisoner, shut up within her own rooms.

The princess did not like this at all, and one day she complained about it very bitterly to her nurse. Now, the nurse was a witch, though the king did not know it. For some time she listened and tried to soothe the princess; but when she saw that she would not be comforted, she said to her: ‘Your father loves you very dearly, as you know. Whatever you were to ask from him he would give you. The one thing he will not grant you is permission to leave the palace. Now, do as I tell you. Go to your father and ask him to give you a wooden wheel-barrow, and a bear’s skin. When you have got them bring them to me, and I will touch them with my magic wand. The wheel-barrow will then move of itself, and will take you at full speed wherever you want to go, and the bear’s skin will make such a covering for you, that no one will recognise you.’

So the princess did as the witch advised her. The king, when he heard her strange request, was greatly astonished, and asked her what she meant to do with a wheel-barrow and a bear’s skin. And the princess answered, ‘You never let me leave the house—at least you might grant me this request.’ So the king granted it,

title: Page:The Grey Fairy Book.djvu/283


text:
Page:The Grey Fairy Book.djvu/284

 and the princess went back to her nurse, taking the barrow and the bear’s skin with her.

As soon as the witch saw them, she touched them with her magic wand, and in a moment the barrow began to move about in all directions. The princess next put on the bear’s skin, which so completely changed her appearance, that no one could have known that she was a girl and not a bear. In this strange attire she seated herself on the barrow, and in a few minutes she found herself far away from the palace, and moving rapidly through a great forest. Here she stopped the barrow with a sign that the witch had shown her, and hid herself and it in a thick grove of flowering shrubs.

Now it happened that the prince of that country was hunting with his dogs in the forest. Suddenly he caught sight of the bear hiding among the shrubs, and calling his dogs, hounded them on to attack it. But the girl, seeing what peril she was in, cried, ‘Call off your dogs, or they will kill me. What harm have I ever done to you?’ At these words, coming from a bear, the prince was so startled that for a moment he stood stock-still, then he said quite gently, ‘Will you come with me? I will take you to my home.’

‘I will come gladly,’ replied the bear; and seating herself on the barrow it at once began to move in the direction of the prince’s palace. You may imagine the surprise of the prince’s mother when she saw her son return accompanied by a bear, who at once set about doing the house-work better than any servant that the queen had ever seen.

Now it happened that there were great festivities going on in the palace of a neighbouring prince, and at dinner, one day, the prince said to his mother: ‘This evening there is to be a great ball, to which I must go.’

And his mother answered, ‘Go and dance, and enjoy yourself.’

Suddenly a voice came from under the table, where

title: Page:The Grey Fairy Book.djvu/284


text:

 guests, that everyone wondered who she was, and no one could tell where she had come from.

From the moment he saw her, the prince fell desperately in love with her, and all the evening he would dance with no one else but the beautiful stranger.

When the ball was over, the princess drove away in her carriage at full speed, for she wished to get home in time to change her ball dress into the bear’s skin, and the carriage into the wheel-barrow, before anyone discovered who she was.

The prince, putting spurs into his horse, rode after her, for he was determined not to let her out of his sight. But suddenly a thick mist arose and hid her from him. When he reached his home he could talk to his mother of nothing else but the beautiful stranger with whom he had danced so often, and with whom he was so much in love. And the bear beneath the table smiled to itself, and muttered: ‘I am the beautiful stranger; oh, how I have taken you in!’

The next evening there was a second ball, and, as you may believe, the prince was determined not to miss it, for he thought he would once more see the lovely girl, and dance with her and talk to her, and make her talk to him, for at the first ball she had never opened her lips.

And, sure enough, as the music struck up the first dance, the beautiful stranger entered the room, looking even more radiant than the night before, for this time her dress was woven out of the rays of the sun. All evening the prince danced with her, but she never spoke a word.

When the ball was over he tried once more to follow her carriage, that he might know whence she came, but suddenly a great waterspout fell from the sky, and the blinding sheets of rain hid her from his sight.

When he reached his home he told his mother that he had again seen the lovely girl, and that this time she had been even more beautiful than the night before. And

title: Page:The Grey Fairy Book.djvu/286


text: Page:Chaucer - Complete works (Skeat Volume 7).djvu/438


text:
Page:The Grey Fairy Book.djvu/287

 again the bear smiled beneath the table, and muttered: ‘I have taken him in a second time, and he has no idea that I am the beautiful girl with whom he is so much in love.’

On the next evening, the prince returned to the palace for the third ball. And the princess went too, and this time she had changed her bear’s skin into a dress woven out of the star-light, studded all over with gems, and she looked so dazzling and so beautiful, that everyone wondered at her, and said that no one so beautiful had ever been seen before. And the prince danced with her, and, though he could not induce her to speak, he succeeded in slipping a ring on her finger.

When the ball was over, he followed her carriage, and rode at such a pace that for long he kept it in sight. Then suddenly a terrible wind arose between him and the carriage, and he could not overtake it.

When he reached his home he said to his mother, ‘I do not know what is to become of me; I think I shall go mad, I am so much in love with that girl, and I have no means of finding out who she is. I danced with her and I gave her a ring, and yet I do not know her name, nor where I am to find her.’

Then the bear laughed beneath the table and muttered to itself.

And the prince continued: ‘I am tired to death. Order some soup to be made for me, but I don’t want that bear to meddle with it. Every time I speak of my love the brute mutters and laughs, and seems to mock at me. I hate the sight of the creature!’

When the soup was ready, the bear brought it to the prince; but before handing it to him, she dropped into the plate the ring the prince had given her the night before at the ball. The prince began to eat his soup very slowly and languidly, for he was sad at heart, and all his thoughts were busy, wondering how and where he could see the lovely stranger again. Suddenly he noticed the ring

But here I will give the Reader some Account of the Belief of this Sect, which was the most numerous of any in the Moon. They were the Followers of the Pythagorean Doctrine, and whatever they practis'd, they confidently affirmed that they had his express Command for, or else they made him to mean Things as they serv'd their Interests, by giving his Thoughts a new Turn, and by making their Comments upon his Writings as authentick as what they were design'd to explain. Here it may be ask'd, how Pythagoras ever got into the Moon? But I think it may be ask'd with greater Propriety, how he ever got to the Earth? For by examining the Records in both Places, it will be found, that the first Body which he animated was in the Moon, and was the Body of a Corn-Cutter; He lived very poorly in that State for many Years, till he was set at Liberty by a Disease contracted by smelling stinking Toes. The next which he enter'd into was that of a Citizen, but in a short Time was scolded out of that Tenement by his Wife. He serv'd an Apprenticeship of five Years immediately after in the Shape of a Coach-Horse to a Lady of Quality, who kill'd him with going a-Visiting. He was then transform'd into a Spider, a Bailiff, an Whore, an Emperor, an Hangman, a Greyhound, a Kitchen-Wench, a Lawyer, a Fox, and a Mad-Man. In this last Station he set up for a Philosopher, and call'd himself Pythagoras. He was not always stark mad, but had his Intervals of right Reason; in which he gain'd so much upon his Hearers, that at length they took his mad Fits for nothing but surprising Flights of his Imagination. He gain'd so much Credit in a little Time, that the greatest Absurdities confirmed by an Ipse Dixit, were thought to be suffici-

The aged man that liv’d in Beith, The dirty man that liv’d in Beith, The black auld man that wenn’d in Beith, Saw nae relief but marry.

He promis’d cash, he’d fetch her braws, Himsel' an’ a’ within his wa’s, Nae bittin horse nor empty sta’s, But brimfu’ cups to carry.

The loving man that liv’d in Beith, The amorous man that dwalt in Beith, The frank auld man that dwalt in Beith, Wad gie his all an’ marry.

But ah, the road to her was lang, The man was frail, an’ cou’dna gang; His kin said things war, a’ gaun wrang— The auld fool wad them herry.

The frail auld man that liv’d in Beith, The cross’d auld chap that liv’d in Beith, The vex’d auld man that dwalt in Beith, They wadna let him marry.

They watch’d him closely out and in, Said he was daft—they wad him bin’, The frail auld Beith man didna win, To court his winsom deary.

The captive man that liv’d in Beith, The daft auld fool that was in Bcith, The auld man that liv’d in Beith, He ne’er got leave to marry.

Ye youngsters a’ that hear my sang, Gif e’er ye marry, do’t ere lang, For time and care will ding ye wrang. An’ ye’ll grow stiff and sairy.

Just like the auld black man in Beith, The doitet worn out man o’ Beith, The single man that liv’d in Beith, Wha couldna maun to marry.

Ye’re just as daft’s the man o’ Beith, Your staunch auld friend that liv’d in Beith Ye’ll perish like, the man o’ Beith, Wha dee’t ere he could marry.

When ye are auld, gin ye be poor, Your kin will drive you frac their door : Gin ye be rich they’ll use you waur, They’ll never let you marry.

This fate befel the man o' Beith, The poor rich man that liv’d in Beith, A warning to the folk o’ Beith, To gang in time and marry.

THOU’RT GANE AWA.

Thou’rt gane awa, thou’rt gane awa, Thou’rt gane awa frae me, Mary. Nor Friends nor I could make thee stay. Thou'st cheated them and me, Mary.

Until this hour I never thought That ought could alter thee, Mary ; Thou’rt still the mistress of my heart. Think what thou wilt of me, Mary.

Whate’er he said, or might pretend, Wha stole that heart o’ thine, Mary. True love I’m sure was ne’er his end, Nor nae sic love as mine, Mary. I spake sincere, ne’er flatter’d much, Had no unworthy thought, Mary. Ambition, wealth, nor naething such— No, I lov’d only thee, Mary.

Though you’ve been false, yet while I live, No other maid I’ll woo, Mary ; Let friends forget, as I forgive, Thy wrongs to them and me, Mary, So then farewell, of this be sure, Since you’ve been false to me, Mary, For all the world I’d not endure, Half what I’ve done for thee, Mary.

THE WARNING MOAN.

A maiden fair lay dying, Within her palace hall. And round her couch was sighing, Her bright attendants all; Her lately coroneted brow Feels many a rending throe, ,

 at the bottom of the plate. In a moment he recognised it, and was dumb with surprise.

Then he saw the bear standing beside him, looking at him with gentle, beseeching eyes, and something in the eyes of the bear made him say: ‘Take off that skin, some mystery is hidden beneath it.’

And the bear’s skin dropped off, and the beautiful girl stood before him, in the dress woven out of the starlight, and he saw that she was the stranger with whom he had fallen so deeply in love. And now she appeared to him a thousand times more beautiful than ever, and he led her to his mother. And the princess told them her story, and how she had been kept shut up by her father in his palace, and how she had wearied of her imprisonment. And the prince’s mother loved her, and rejoiced that her son should have so good and beautiful a wife.

So they were married, and lived happily for many years, and reigned wisely over their kingdom.

364 A remote antiquity is, with better reason, claimed for some idols of black-stone, and elegant columns of the same material, which have been collected in different parts of the districts of Rhotas, Bulnem, &c. These belong to the religion of a sect (the Buddhists) of which no remains are now found in those provinces. But I have myself seen images exactly similar in the newly-erected temples of the Jains, a sect of the Buddhists, still wealthy and numerous in Guzerât, Rajpootana, and Malwah: and in a country where there is literally no history, it is impossible to say how long since or how lately they may have lost their ground in the more eastern parts of Gundwana. In the wilds which I have lately been traversing, at more particularly, there are some very beautiful buildings, of which the date was obviously assigned at random, and which might be 500 or 1000, or 150 years old, for all their present guardians know about the matter. But it must always be borne in mind, that 1000 years are as easily said as ten, and that in the mouth of a Cicerone they are sometimes thought to sound rather better. The oldest things which I have seen, of which the date could be at all ascertained, are some detached blocks of marble, with inscriptions, but of no appalling remoteness; and two remarkable pillars of black mixed metal, in a Patan fort near Delhi, and at, in the same neighbourhood; both covered with inscriptions, which nobody can now read, but both mentioned in Mussulman history as in their present situation, at the time when the
