 From the deck of the Mariposa, at the sailing hour, he saw Lizzie Connolly hiding in the skirts of the crowd on the wharf. Take her with you, came the thought. It is easy to be kind. She will be supremely happy. It was almost a temptation one moment, and the succeeding moment it became a terror. He was in a panic at the thought of it. His tired soul cried out in protest. He turned away from the rail with a groan, muttering, "Man, you are too sick, you are too sick."

He fled to his stateroom, where he lurked until the steamer was clear of the dock. In the dining saloon, at luncheon, he found himself in the place of honor, at the captain's right; and he was not long in discovering that he was the great man on board. But no more unsatisfactory great man ever sailed on a ship. He spent the afternoon in a deck-chair, with closed eyes, dozing brokenly most of the time, and in the evening went early to bed.

After the second day, recovered from seasickness, the full passenger list was in evidence, and the more he saw of the passengers the more he disliked them. Yet he knew that he did them injustice. They were good and kindly people, he forced himself to acknowledge, and in the moment of acknowledgment he qualified—good and kindly like all the bourgeoisie, with all the psychological cramp and intellectual futility of their kind, they bored him when they talked with him, their little superficial minds were so filled with emptiness; while the boisterous high spirits and the excessive energy of the younger people shocked him. They were never quiet, ceaselessly playing deck-quoits, tossing rings, promenading, or rushing to the rail with loud cries to watch the leaping porpoises and the first schools of flying fish.

He slept much. After breakfast he sought his deck-chair with a magazine he never finished. The printed pages tired him. He puzzled that men found so much to write about, and, puzzling, dozed in his chair. When the gong awoke him for luncheon, he was irritated that he must awaken. There was no satisfaction in being awake.

 Once, he tried to arouse himself from his lethargy, and went forward into the forecastle with the sailors. But the breed of sailors seemed to have changed since the days he had lived in the forecastle. He could find no kinship with these stolid-faced, ox-minded bestial creatures. He was in despair. Up above nobody had wanted Martin Eden for his own sake, and he could not go back to those of his own class who had wanted him in the past. He did not want them. He could not stand them any more than he could stand the stupid first-cabin passengers and the riotous young people.

Life was to him like strong, white light that hurts the tired eyes of a sick person. During every conscious moment life blazed in a raw glare around him and upon him. It hurt. It hurt intolerably. It was the first time in his life that Martin had travelled first class. On ships at sea he had always been in the forecastle, the steerage, or in the black depths of the coal-hold, passing coal. In those days, climbing up the iron ladders out the pit of stifling heat, he had often caught glimpses of the passengers, in cool white, doing nothing but enjoy themselves, under awnings spread to keep the sun and wind away from them, with subservient stewards taking care of their every want and whim, and it had seemed to him that the realm in which they moved and had their being was nothing else than paradise. Well, here he was, the great man on board, in the midmost centre of it, sitting at the captain's right hand, and yet vainly harking back to forecastle and stoke-hole in quest of the Paradise he had lost. He had found no new one, and now he could not find the old one.

He strove to stir himself and find something to interest him. He ventured the petty officers' mess, and was glad to get away. He talked with a quartermaster off duty, an intelligent man who promptly prodded him with the socialist propaganda and forced into his hands a bunch of leaflets and pamphlets. He listened to the man expounding the slave-morality, and as he listened, he thought languidly of his own Nietzsche philosophy. But what was

 it worth, after all? He remembered one of Nietzsche's mad utterances wherein that madman had doubted truth. And who was to say? Perhaps Nietzsche had been right. Perhaps there was no truth in anything, no truth in truth—no such thing as truth. But his mind wearied quickly, and he was content to go back to his chair and doze.

Miserable as he was on the steamer, a new misery came upon him. What when the steamer reached Tahiti? He would have to go ashore. He would have to order his trade-goods, to find a passage on a schooner to the Marquesas, to do a thousand and one things that were awful to contemplate. Whenever he steeled himself deliberately to think, he could see the desperate peril in which he stood. In all truth, he was in the Valley of the Shadow, and his danger lay in that he was not afraid. If he were only afraid, he would make toward life. Being unafraid, he was drifting deeper into the shadow. He found no delight in the old familiar things of life. The Mariposa was now in the northeast trades, and this wine of wind, surging against him, irritated him. He had his chair moved to escape the embrace of this lusty comrade of old days and nights.

The day the Mariposa entered the doldrums, Martin was more miserable than ever. He could no longer sleep. He was soaked with sleep, and perforce he must now stay awake and endure the white glare of life. He moved about restlessly. The air was sticky and humid, and the rain-squalls were unrefreshing. He ached with life. He walked around the deck until that hurt too much, then sat in his chair until he was compelled to walk again. He forced himself at last to finish the magazine, and from the steamer library he culled several volumes of poetry. But they could not hold him, and once more he took to walking.

He stayed late on deck, after dinner, but that did not help him, for when he went below, he could not sleep. This surcease from life had failed him. It was too much. He turned on the electric light and tried to read. One of the volumes was a Swinburne. He lay in bed, glancing

title: Page:Martin Eden (1909).pdf/420


text:
Page:Martin Eden (1909).pdf/421

 through its pages, until suddenly he became aware that he was reading with interest. He finished the stanza, attempted to read on, then came back to it. He rested the book face downward on his breast and fell to thinking. That was it. The very thing. Strange that it had never come to him before. That was the meaning of it all; he had been drifting that way all the time, and now Swinburne showed him that it was the happy way out. He wanted rest, and here was rest awaiting him. He glanced at the open port-hole. Yes, it was large enough. For the first time in weeks he felt happy. At last he had discovered the cure of his ill. He picked up the book and read the stanza slowly aloud:—

He looked again at the open port. Swinburne had furnished the key. Life was ill, or, rather, it had become ill—an unbearable thing. "That dead men rise up never!" That line stirred him with a profound feeling of gratitude. It was the one beneficent thing in the universe. When life became an aching weariness, death was ready to soothe away to everlasting sleep. But what was he waiting for? It was time to go.

He arose and thrust his head out the port-hole, looking down into the milky wash. The Mariposa was deeply loaded, and, hanging by his hands, his feet would be in the water. He could slip in noiselessly. No one would hear. A smother of spray dashed up, wetting his face. It tasted salt on his lips, and the taste was good. He wondered if he ought to write a swan-song, but laughed the thought away. There was no time. He was too impatient to be gone.

Turning off the light in his room so that it might not

Page:Martin Eden (1909).pdf/422

 betray him, he went out the port-hole feet first. His shoulders stuck, and he forced himself back so as to try it with one arm down by his side. A roll of the steamer aided him, and he was through, hanging by his hands. When his feet touched the sea, he let go. He was in a milky froth of water. The side of the Mariposa rushed past him like a dark wall, broken here and there by lighted ports. She was certainly making time. Almost before he knew it, he was astern, swimming gently on the foam-crackling surface.

A bonita struck at his white body, and he laughed aloud. It had taken a piece out, and the sting of it reminded him of why he was there. In the work to do he had forgotten the purpose of it. The lights of the Mariposa were growing dim in the distance, and there he was, swimming confidently, as though it were his intention to make for the nearest land a thousand miles or so away.

It was the automatic instinct to live. He ceased swimming, but the moment he felt the water rising above his mouth the hands struck out sharply with a lifting movement. The will to live, was his thought, and the thought was accompanied by a sneer. Well, he had will,—ay, will strong enough that with one last exertion it could destroy itself and cease to be.

He changed his position to a vertical one. He glanced up at the quiet stars, at the same time emptying his lungs of air. With swift, vigorous propulsion of hands and feet, he lifted his shoulders and half his chest out of water. This was to gain impetus for the descent. Then he let himself go and sank without movement, a white statue, into the sea. He breathed in the water deeply, deliberately, after the manner of a man taking an anæsthetic. When he strangled, quite involuntarily his arms and legs clawed the water and drove him up to the surface and into the clear sight of the stars.

The will to live, he thought disdainfully, vainly endeavoring not to breathe the air into his bursting lungs. Well, he would have to try a new way. He filled his

title: Page:Martin Eden (1909).pdf/422


text:
Page:Martin Eden (1909).pdf/423

 lungs with air, filled them full. This supply would take him far down. He turned over and went down head first, swimming with all his strength and all his will. Deeper and deeper he went. His eyes were open, and he watched the ghostly, phosphorescent trails of the darting bonita. As he swam, he hoped that they would not strike at him, for it might snap the tension of his will. But they did not strike, and he found time to be grateful for this last kindness of life.

Down, down, he swam till his arms and legs grew tired and hardly moved. He knew that he was deep. The pressure on his ear-drums was a pain, and there was a buzzing in his head. His endurance was faltering, but he compelled his arms and legs to drive him deeper until his will snapped and the air drove from his lungs in a great explosive rush. The bubbles rubbed and bounded like tiny balloons against his cheeks and eyes as they took their upward flight. Then came pain and strangulation. This hurt was not death, was the thought that oscillated through his reeling consciousness. Death did not hurt. It was life, the pangs of life, this awful, suffocating feeling; it was the last blow life could deal him.

His wilful hands and feet began to beat and churn about, spasmodically and feebly. But he had fooled them and the will to live that made them beat and churn. He was too deep down. They could never bring him to the surface. He seemed floating languidly in a sea of dreamy vision. Colors and radiances surrounded him and bathed him and pervaded him. What was that? It seemed a lighthouse; but it was inside his brain—a flashing, bright white light. It flashed swifter and swifter. There was a long rumble of sound, and it seemed to him that he was falling down a vast and interminable stairway. And somewhere at the bottom he fell into darkness. That much he knew. He had fallen into darkness. And at the instant he knew, he ceased to know.

302 The prince obeyed, while Melania went out as before, and began whistling. Suddenly a number of little gardeners came running from all directions, and set to work to make a very lovely garden, in which they put all the most beautiful singing birds on every tree, flowers of every description, and pears and apples and all kinds of ripe fruit.

In the morning early, Melania the Clever woke up the young prince, saying,—

"Get up, my prince; the garden is quite ready. Make haste, for the king my father is going early to look at it."

The young prince seized the broom, and rushing out into the garden, commenced sweeping the paths.

The king was delighted and flattered him.

"I am more pleased with your work than I can say, young prince, and as a reward for what you have done, you may choose one of my twelve daughters to be your bride. But I shall make them look all alike; the same faces, the same hair, and the same dresses, and if you succeed in choosing the same one three times running, you shall have that one for your bride; if not, I shall have you severely punished."

When Melania the Clever heard this, she said to the young prince, "The first time I will wave my handkerchief, the second time I will smooth down my dress, and on the third time a little fly will buzz around me, so you will know which I am."

Thus the young prince managed successfully to choose Melania the Clever each time, and got her for his wife, and lived happily for some time with the King of the Sea.

Rh One day the king ordered a great feast to be spread with all manner of good things to eat, enough for a thousand people, and then sufficient would remain for another grand dinner. When all was ready, he told the young prince to finish up everything, without leaving a morsel on any of the plates and dishes, or he would be severely punished.

"Little father!" said the cunning young prince to the King of the Sea, "I have an old man, a very great friend, whom I brought with me. Can he have a little of the good things as well as I?"

"Very well, let him come; but he must not have much." So the prince told Eat-All to make his appearance, which he did, and ate up everything that was on the table, and asked for more.

After this the King of the Sea ordered all the wines and spirits he could possibly think of to be brought in large casks, and told the young married couple to drink every drop, or he would have them punished.

"Little father!" said the young prince again, "may we ask an old man, whom I brought with me, to join us?"

"Yes, let him come!"

And in came Drink-All, who at a draught drank off every cask of wine and spirits, and then asked for more.

When the King of the Sea saw that nothing could be done with the young prince, whom he wanted to get rid of, he felt very angry; at last he thought of something that might finish him. He ordered an iron bath to be heated full of boiling water; when this

304 was ready, and the bath was so hot that the walls in the bath-room cracked, and the iron became red from the great heat, the prince was told to go and bathe himself.

"Very well, little father," he answered; "but may I ask an old friend whom I brought with me to the palace to join me?"

"Certainly!" laughed the king; "let him join you by all means, though I don't suppose he will like it!"

The prince then told Chill-All to come with him. The moment this hero came into the bath-room, he blew on to the coals till there was no heat left in them; he blew on to the boiling water, and it became cool; he blew about till icicles hung about the room, and then the young prince got into the water, and had a pleasant bath. When he returned to his wife, Melania the Clever, she went up to him and said,—

"Let us leave the king, my father, for he is very angry with you, and hates you more than ever. Let us fly, my prince, before anything dreadful happens."

"Very well, let us go; I have no objection!" the prince replied.

So they harnessed their ponies, and rode off into the green fields. On they went for a long, long time; at last Melania the Clever said,—

"Get off from your pony, my prince, and put your ear to the ground, and listen whether any one is chasing us or not?"

The prince obeyed.

"I can hear nothing, Melania!" he answered.

But Melania the Clever was not satisfied, so she got off her horse, and put her ear to the ground.

Rh through the medium of letters and who will probably remain equally ignorant throughout life. Assuming the former estimate of the entire population of the district, and giving all the other police sub-divisions the advantage of supposing that each has an equal amount of literary cultivation to that of Nattore, it will follow that the total male adult population of Rajshahi is 476,000, of whom 48,968 know more or less of letters, leaving 427,032 who are totally destitute of the advantages of education in its very humblest forms. Of the whole adult male population the proportion of the instructed to the uninstructed is thus as 114·6 to 1,000. In other words, for every number of adult males amounting to 114 or 115 who have acquired some knowledge of letters, however superficial and imperfect, there are 1,000 who have grown up and who must remain totally ignorant of all that a knowledge of letters alone can impart.

The conclusions to which I have come on the state of ignorance both of the male and female, the adult and the juvenile, population of this district require only to be distinctly apprehended in order to impress the mind with their importance. No declamation is required for that purpose. I cannot, however, expect that the reading of this report should convey the impressions which I have received from daily witnessing the mere animal-life to which Ignorance consigns its victims, unconscious of any wants or enjoyments beyond those which they participate with the beasts of the field—unconscious of any of the higher purposes for which existence has been bestowed, soceitysociety [sic] has been constituted, and government is exercised. I am not acquainted with any facts which permit me to suppose that, in any other country subject to an enlightened Government and brought into direct and constant contact with European civilization, in an equal population there is an equal amount of ignorance with that which has been shown to exist in this district. Would that these humble representations may lead the Government of this country to consider and adopt some measures with a view to improve and elevate the condition of the lower classes of the people, and to qualify them both adequately to appreciate the rights and discharge the obligations of British subjects. In such a state of ignorance as I have found to exist, rights and obligations are almost wholly unknown, and Society and Government are destitute of the foundations on which alone they can safely and permanently rest.

The state of Native Medical Practice in the district is so intimately connected with the welfare of the people that it could not be wholly overlooked; and as the few facts that I have

Rh "Why, my prince!" she exclaimed, "I hear a very active chase!"

She at once changed the ponies into a dark and dreary forest, herself she changed into a well, and the prince into an old peasant. Hardly had she done this when up rode some hunters.

"Hey, old man!" they cried; "have you seen a handsome youth and a beautiful damsel ride this way?"

"I did, my good brothers!" answered the prince; "but that was an age ago. They rode past when I was quite a young fellow, and before this forest grew to be what it now is!"

When the hunters heard this, they thought it useless to go any farther, so they returned to the King of the Sea, saying,—

"We could not find the young people, Your Majesty. The only person we met was an old peasant standing beside a well, in a dark forest."

"Why did you not bring him with you?" cried the king. He had the hunters killed at once, and sent off others in search of the fugitives.

As soon as Melania the Clever heard the pursuit, she changed herself into an old church, and the prince into an old priest. The hunters came up.

"Hey, old father!" they cried; "have you seen a handsome youth come this way, with a beautiful maiden?"

"Yes, my brothers; but that was a long, long time ago, when I was a young man, and when I began building this church, which is now so old that it won't be able to stand much longer; it is all rotten and cracked." X

 acre per year were added to this thirty-two million acres—a rather large result to follow from an endowment of one or two millions.

The variation of plants of the same species has received frequent mention. One more point needs to be presented in connection with the idea of breeding desert trees. They sometimes vary fifty per cent, or more in the amount of water required to produce a given result. This variation within the species suggests an interesting line of experimentation with different species and strains, to find the most efficient for particular places.

Lastly I wish to submit the thesis that the trees now unused or little used as crop mediums may be the best kind of crop for some of our levelest and most arable lands. I have in mind a two-story agriculture with tree crops above and tilled crops beneath. By analogy I would recall the French practice (page 166) of scattering walnut trees all over the farm while going on with the farming. This does not sound alluring to the machine-using American, but let us consider it. Suppose you had a farm on the sandy plain somewhere between New York and Galveston. You are growing hogs and letting them

306 And these hunters also turned back, and went to the king their master, saying,—

"No, Your Majesty, we did not come across the young couple; the only person we saw was an old priest, standing near a rotten old church!"

"Why on earth did you not bring the church and the priest with you, you idiots?"

And the king ordered these unfortunate hunters to be killed like the others; after that he mounted his good steed, and galloped off himself in pursuit. This time when Melania the Clever heard her father coming after them, she changed the ponies into rivers of mead, with banks of jelly, while she changed the prince and herself into two ducks. When the king arrived, he commenced to eat the jelly and drink the mead as fast as ever he could, until he burst, and gave up the ghost!

The prince and Melania the Clever then went on farther. When they were quite close to the palace in which the prince's parents lived, Melania said,—

"Go on in front, my prince, and tell your father and mother the news of your marriage, while I wait for you here; but mark my words, you may embrace your parents as much as you like, but on no account kiss your sister, or you will forget all about me."

The prince promised to obey, and went on. When he arrived at the palace, he embraced his parents, and, forgetting what his wife had told him, he also kissed his sister; but he had hardly done so when he quite forgot all about the beautiful Melania his wife.

Melania meanwhile waited three whole days, but on the fourth she changed herself into a beggar-girl

Rh and went into the town, where she met an old woman whom she accompanied home to her hut.

After a while the prince decided on marrying a very rich young queen; this was proclaimed throughout the kingdom, and it was also ordered that every Christian person should come and congratulate the bride and bridegroom, and bring with them a home-made cake as a gift.

Now the old woman with whom Melania the Clever was staying, set to work to sift the flour and bake a cake.

"For whom are you making that cake, little mother?" said Melania.

"For whom? Why, I should have thought that you had heard the news! Our good king's son is going to marry a rich young queen, and we have all of us to bake a cake, and give it to the young couple as a gift."

"Then let me also bake one, and take it to the palace; perhaps the king may reward me."

"By all means, my dear; I don't see why you should not!"

So Melania took some flour, kneaded the dough, and putting two little doves in, made a cake.

When the hour arrived, the old woman and Melania the Clever went to the palace with their cakes, where there was a great feast. When Melania's cake was brought on the table, the prince began to cut it, but hardly had he done so, when out flew the two doves, one of which had a little piece of the cake in her mouth.

"My dear little dove!" said her mate; "give me a little of the cake!"

308 "No, I won't," replied the other, "or you will forget me just as the prince forgot his wife, Melania the Clever."

Hardly had the dove said these words, when the prince suddenly remembered his wife, and springing from the table caught Melania in his arms, and embraced her long and tenderly. He introduced Melania to his parents and friends, and after having explained everything, he made her take a seat beside him, and the feast was continued right merrily!

From that day forth the young couple lived together with every kind of happiness.

sun was just beginning to set, when, towards the great river of Saffat, came galloping seven adventurous Russian champions: the seven famous warriors, Godenko Bludovitch, Vasselie Kazemirovitch, Vasselie Buslaevitch, Ivan, the innkeeper's son, Aleyosha Papovitch, junior, Dobrenin the Youthful, and last, but not least, the stout labourer, Nikita Gregorevitch.

Right in front of them lay a level plain, in the midst of which stood an ancient oak; from this tree went three roads, the one leading to Novgorod the Great, the second to the sacred city of Kiev, and the third, which was very long and straight, led to the dark blue sea; but this road was dangerous, as it had for the last thirty-three years been in the possession of a savage giant Mussulman, who killed every one that dared to come near him, whether on horseback or on foot.

The warriors halted when they reached the oak, and pitched their white canvas tents. After allowing their steeds to walk about and eat the long green grass at their leisure, they went into their tents to seek repose.

Dobrenin the Youthful rose early with the sun, while his companions were still sleeping peacefully.

Feel free to add your requests here. Each request should take only about a day or two to complete, thanks to the abilities of my QuickTranscribe library to proofread and process texts very quickly, doing everything from square zero (online scan) to final step (transclusion) extremely efficiently.

Guidelines (many of these will be removed as the project improves):
 * Please mainly focus on novels, short story collections/poetry collections, and short works like essays or children's stories.
 * Go easy on the nonfiction texts. Those ones are complex and my QT library doesn't support them super well yet. Also, no periodicals etc. yet.
 * Try not to include works that already have Indexes on Wikisource and pages proofread on them. I still need to work out how my code will deal with those. QT relies on pretty much no transcription history of any given work, to function properly.
 * General rule of thumb: If the structure of the work looks extremely complicated (has lots of chapters, subchapters, different types of images, etc.), then think about leaving it out for now. I want to work my way up to the more complex, rigorous types of works (usually nonfiction ones of various types).

 malicious, for Tom Pelham has been with me since: he says, for our niece, she is, he thinks, as well pleased as he has seen any body. My sister is very well satisfied as to the fortune and the probability of her living well, but she loves more compliments and mirth than she will ever find. I prepared her, as well as I could, not to expect it. He is not a pleasant man—very few are; neither is he the very next sort for entertainment. One thing pleased: when he said, "With all my worldly goods I thee endow," he put a purse upon the book with 200 guineas; every body puts somewhat, but this is the most I have heard. They will be here before Easter, and then you shall hear more.

Mr. Mountague goes no more to Madame Mazarine; the town says he is forbid; whether his love or his politics were too pressing, I know not. I hear he has lately endeavoured to make his peace at court; but it will not be, and he is reduced to spend much of his time at my Lady Oxford's. Perhaps you will think I express it ill, but no matter for that. The Duchess of Modena may be come, but I do not know it; I do know that nobody will go to her nor to the Duchess when she is with her.

 I heard last night the council had sat twice yesterday about information given of a design the apprentices had to rise, and that some were got together, but all is very quiet; and my intelligence must ever be late, for I write in the morning, and I see nobody but in the afternoon. My Lord Shaftesbury says, he never had anything to do with Mr. Montague, nor never will. His son has not much to do, for he is every night in Hyde Park, with his wife, and two dirty men at the other end of the coach. My Lady Lauderdale, who was ill of the gout at Whitehall, was on Sunday sent for to Ham in great haste to her Lord, who was fallen into a fit of an apoplexy. If he dies, that will be a loss to Scotland and England.

 Knowledge and improvements are to be got by sailing and posting for that purpose; but whether useful knowledge and real improvements, is all a lottery—and even where the adventurer is successful, the acquired stock must be used with caution and sobriety to turn to any profit—but as the chances run prodigiously the other way, both as to the acquisition and application, I am of opinion, That a man would act as wisely, if he could prevail upon himself to live contented without foreign knowledge or foreign improvements, especially if he lives in a country that has no absolute want of either—and indeed, much grief of heart has it oft and many a time cost me, when I have observed how many a soul step the inquisitive traveller has measured to see sights and look into discoveries; all which, as Sanco Panca said to Don Quixote, they might have seen dry shod at home.

 equilibrated, and in their greatest curvity, one while with their convexity towards the upper part, and another while towards the lower part of the Solar Discus. And because those positions are in continuall alteration, making the inclinations and incurvations now greater, now lesser, and sometimes reduce themselves, the first sort to perfect libration, and the second to perfect perpendicularity, it is necessary to assert that the self same Axis of the monethly revolution of the spots hath a particular revolution of its own, whereby its Poles describe two circles about the Poles of another Axis, which for that reason ought (as I have said) to be assigned to the Sun, the semidiameter of which circles answereth to the quantity of the inclination of the said Axis. And it is necessary, that the time of its Period be a year; for that such is the time in which all the appearances and differences in the courses of the spots do return. And that the revolution of this Axis, is made about the Poles of the other Axis parallel to that of the Ecliptick, & not about other points, the greatest inclinations and greatest incurvations, which are always of the same bigness, do clearly prove. So that finally, to maintain the Earth fixed in the centre, it will be necessary to assign to the Sun, two motions about its own centre, upon two several Axes, one of which finisheth its conversion in a year, and the other in lesse than a moneth; which assumption seemeth, to my understanding, very hard, and almost impossible; and this dependeth on the necessity of ascribing to the said Solar body two other motions about the Earth upon different Axes, describing with one the Ecliptick in a year, and with the other forming spirals, or circles parallel to the Equinoctial one every day: whereupon that third motion which ought to be assigned to the Solar Clobe about its own centre (I mean not that almost monethly, which carrieth the spots about, but I speak of that other which ought to passe thorow the Axis and Poles of this monethly one) ought not, for any reason that I see, to finish its Period rather in a year, as depending on the annual motion by the Ecliptick, than in twenty four hours, as depending on the diurnal motion upon the Poles of the Equinoctial. I know, that what I now speak is very obscure, but I shall make it plain unto you, when we come to speak of the third motion annual, assigned by Copernicus, to the Earth. Now if these four motions, so incongruous with each other, (all which it would be necessary to assign to the self same body of the Sun) may be reduced to one sole and simple motion, assigned the Sun upon an Axis that never changeth position, and that without innovating any thing in the motions for so many other causes assigned to the Terrestrial Globe, may so easily salve so many extravagant appearances in

 the motions of the Solar spots, it seemeth really that such an Hypothesis ought not to be rejected.

This, Simplicius, is all that came into the minds of our friend, and my self, that could be alledged in explanation of this Phænomenon by the Copernicans, and by the Ptolomæans, in defence of their opinions. Do you inferre from thence what your judgment perswades you.

I acknowledge my self unable to interpose in so important a decision: And, as to my particular thoughts, I will stand neutral; and yet neverthelesse I hope that a time will come, when our minds being illumin'd by more lofty contemplations than these our humane reasonings, we shall be awakened and freed from that mist which now is so great an hinderance to our sight.

Excellent and pious is the counsel taken by Simplicius, and worthy to be entertained and followed by all, as that which being derived from the highest wisdome and supreamest authority, may onely, with security be received. But yet so far as humane reason is permitted to penetrate, confining my self within the bounds of conjectures, and probable reasons, I will say a little more resolutely than Simplicius doth, that amongst all the ingenuous subtilties I ever heard, I have never met with any thing of greater admiration to my intellect, nor that hath more absolutely captivated my judgment, (alwayes excepting pure Geometrical and Arithmetical Demonstrations) than these two conjectures taken, the one from the stations and retrogradations of the five Planets, and the other from these irregularities of the motions of the Solar spots: and because they seem to me so easily and clearly to assign the true reason of so extravagant appearances, shewing as if they were but one sole simple motion, mixed with so many others, simple likewise, but different from each other, without introducing any difficulty, rather with obviating those that accompany the other Hypothesis; I am thinking that I may rationally conclude, that those who contumaciously withstand this Doctrine, either never heard, or never understood, these so convincing arguments.

I will not ascribe unto them the title either of convincing, or non-convincing; in regard my intention is not, as I have several times told you, to resolve any thing upon so high a question, but onely to propose those natural and Astronomicall reasons, which, for the one and other Systeme, may be produced by me, leaving the determination to others; which determination cannot at last, but be very manifest: for one of the two positions being of necessity to be true, and the other of necessity to be false, it is a thing impossible that (alwayes confining our selves


text:
Page:Mathematical collections and translations, in two tomes - Salusbury (1661).djvu/350

 within the limits of humane doctrine) the reasons alledged for the true Hypothesis should not manifest themselves as concludent as those for the contrary vain and ineffectual.

It will be time therefore, that we hear the objections of the little Book of * Conclusions, or Disquisitions which Simplicius did bring with him.

Here is the Book, and this is the place where the Author first briefly describeth the Systeme of the world, according to the Hypothesis of Copernicus, saying, Terram igitur unà cum Luna, totoque hoc elementari mundo Copernicus, &c.

Forbear a little, Simplicius, for methinks that this Authour, in this first entrance, shews himself to be but very ill verst in the Hypothesis which he goeth about to confute, in regard, he saith that Copernicus maketh the Earth, together with the Moon, to describe the * grand Orb in a year moving from East to West; a thing that as it is false and impossible, so was it never affirmed by Copernicus, who rather maketh it to move the contrary way, I mean from West to East, that is, according to the order of the Signes; whereupon we come to think the same to be the annual motion of the Sun, constituted immoveable in the centre of the Zodiack. See the too adventurous confidence of this man; to undertake the confutation of anothers Doctrine, and yet to be ignorant of the primary fundamentals; upon which his adversary layeth the greatest and most important part of all the Fabrick. This is a bad beginning to gain himself credit with his Reader; but let us go on.

Having explained the Universal Systeme, he beginneth to propound his objections against this annual motion: and the first are these, which he citeth Ironically, and in derision of Copernicus, and of his followers, writing that in this phantastical Hypothesis of the World one must necessarily maintain very grosse absurdities; namely, that the Sun, Venus, and Mercury are below the Earth; and that grave matters go naturally upwards, and the light downwards; and that Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, ascended into Hell, and descended into Heaven, when he approached towards the Sun, and that when Joshuah commanded the Sun to stand still, the Earth stood still, or the Sun moved a contrary way to that of the Earth; and that when the Sun is in Cancer, the Earth runneth through Capricorn; and that the Hyemal (or Winter) Signes make the Summer, and the Æstival Winter; and that the Stars do not rise and set to the Earth, but the Earth to the Stars; and that the East beginneth in the West, and the West in the East; and, in a word, that almost the whole course of the World is inverted.

Every thing pleaseth me, except it be his having inter-

 of sheol:" thus, not from the grave, for the soul is not interred; nor from hell, as it is translated, because thence there is no deliverance: it is plain, therefore, that by sheol must be denoted the world of spirits.

Now, the equivalent of this term sheol, in the New Testament, is hades. This is established upon the best authority. It is written in the Psalms, "Thou wilt not leave my Soul in sheol:" the apostle, citing this passage, and applying it to the Lord, says "His soul was not left in hades:" hades, therefore, was understood by the apostle to have the same meaning as sheol: and it is plain that sheol denotes the first common receptacle for departed spirits, consequently, that must also be the signification of hades: and Josephus expressly tells us that such is the meaning of the word: "it is that place," says he, "wherein the souls of the righteous and unrighteous are detained." And we have bequeathed to us by Peter an historical circumstance which illustrates the fact. He says Christ was "quickened by the Spirit, by which also He went and preached to the spirits in prison; which sometime were disobedient, when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah while the ark was preparing." Here we are plainly informed that certain spirits had been waiting for deliverance, from the days of Noah until after the Lord's resurrection. Now in what department of the spiritual world had those expectant spirits been detained? It was not heaven, for that is not a prison; nor was it in hell, for there all hope is lost: it must then, most certainly,


text:
Page:The Last Judgement and Second Coming of the Lord Illustrated.djvu/105

 have been in hades, the intermediate spiritual world: and in this case it is called a prison, simply because it is there where the spirits of the departed are received, and as it were held in custody until the time of their judgment is accomplished; and, no doubt, those to whom the Lord preached were "prisoners of hope," whom, in the process of His judgment, He mercifully released, and conducted into heaven. The same apostle relates another remarkable circumstance, which cannot be explained without the admission of the existence of an intermediate region in the spiritual world. When Christianity was established, David had been dead upwards of a thousand years; and yet Peter declared that in his time David had not ascended into the heavens. Doubtless he was still a living spirit, and it will hardly be admitted that he was consigned to the kingdom of the lost. Where, then, had he been residing during that long period after the decease of his body? If it was not in either of the two kingdoms intended for the final destination of the evil and the good, it must, most certainly, have been in hades, the intermediate region. The case of Samuel, when seen by Saul and the woman of Endor, is somewhat parallel. Samuel had passed by ordinary death from the natural world, and yet he was seen


text:
Page:The Last Judgement and Second Coming of the Lord Illustrated.djvu/106

 alive again: he had not then ascended into heaven, nor had he descended into hell: how plain is it then that the region of his sojourn must have been hades—the intermediate world? Saul believed that Samuel was still alive, notwithstanding his bodily decease: he would not otherwise have made the effort which he did to "bring him up," and as the woman applied to for the purpose made no reference to the locality of Samuel's interment, it seems plain that sheol was not understood to be the grave from which he had to be invoked, but that common place of assembly for all spirits on their first departure hence.

The classical signification of the term hades, is the place "where the souls of the righteous and the unrighteous are detained;" thus it is neither heaven nor hell, but that region in the future life of which we have spoken as the world of spirits. And although this word, in the New Testament, is generally translated hell, it does not always mean that miserable abode of the lost. That condition is more fully expressed by the terms "gehenna," "hell-fire," and tartarosas, "hell." And when this idea is intended by hades, it is indicated more by the context than the term, for there are many cases in which it is manifestly not employed with such a meaning. For instance, it is said, "Death and hell (hades) delivered up the dead which were in them; and they were judged according to their works. And death and hell (hades) were cast into the lake

Gretel looked wistfully at Hans, who tugging at his cap, answered respectfully.

"Ah, jufvrouw, even if we could enter, we could skate only a few strokes with the rest. Our skates are hard wood you see," (holding up the sole of his foot), "but they soon become damp, and then they stick and trip us."

Gretel's eyes twinkled with fun as she thought of Hans' mishap in the morning, but she blushed as she faltered out timidly:

"Oh no, we can't join; but may we be there, my lady, on the great day to look on?"

"Certainly," answered Hilda, looking kindly into the two earnest faces, and wishing from her heart that she had not spent so much of her monthly allowance for lace and finery. She had but eight kwartjes left, and they would buy but one pair of skates, at the furthest.

Looking down with a sigh at the two pair of feet so very different in size, she asked:

"Which of you is the better skater?"

"Gretel," replied Hans, promptly.

"Hans," answered Gretel, in the same breath.

Hilda smiled.

"I cannot buy you each a pair of skates, or even one good pair; but here are eight kwartjes. Decide be tween you which stands the best chance of winning the race, and buy the skates accordingly. I wish I had enough to buy better ones—good bye!" and, with a nod and

 own prejudices, did not sophisticate them by logic, but deliberately exaggerated them by rhetoric. One tenth of his paradoxes would have made the fortune of a modern young man with gloves of an art yellow. He was as fond of nonsense as Mr. Max Beerbohm. Only he was fond of other things too. He did not ask humanity to dine on pickles.

But while his kaleidoscope of fancy and epigram gives him some kinship with the present day, he was essentially of an earlier type: he was the last of the prophets. With him vanishes the secret of that early Victorian simplicity which gave a man the courage to mount a pulpit above the head of his fellows. Many elements, good and bad, have destroyed it; humility as well as fear, camaraderie as well as scepticism, have bred in us a desire to give our advice lightly and persuasively, to mask our morality, to whisper a word and glide away. The contrast was in some degree typified in the House of Commons under the last leadership of Mr. Gladstone: the old order with its fist on the box, and the new order with its feet on the

 table. Doubtless the wine of that prophecy was too strong even for the strong heads that carried it. It made Ruskin capricious and despotic, Tennyson lonely and whimsical, Carlyle harsh to the point of hatred, and Kingsley often rabid to the ruin of logic and charity. One alone of that race of giants, the greatest and most neglected, was sober after the cup. No mission, no frustration could touch with hysteria the humanity of Robert Browning.

But though Ruskin seems to close the roll of the militant prophets, we feel how needful are such figures when we consider with what pathetic eagerness men pay prophetic honours even to those who disclaim the prophetic character. Ibsen declares that he only depicts life, that as far as he is concerned there is nothing to be done, and still armies of "Ibsenites" rally to the flag and enthusiastically do nothing. I have found traces of a school which avowedly follows Mr. Henry James: an idea full of humour. I like to think of a crowd with pikes and torches shouting passages from "The Awkward Age." It is right and

 proper for a multitude to declare its readiness to follow a prophet to the end of the world, but if he himself explains, with pathetic gesticulations, that he is only going for a walk in the park, there is not much for the multitude to do. But the disciple of Ruskin had plenty to do. He made roads; in his spare moments he studied the whole of geology and botany. He lifted up paving stones and got down into early Florentine cellars, where, by hanging upside down, he could catch a glimpse of a Cimabue unpraisable but by divine silence. He rushed from one end of a city to the other comparing ceilings. His limbs were weary, his clothes were torn, and in his eyes was that unfathomable joy of life which man will never know again until once more he takes himself seriously.

Mr. Collingwood's excellent chapters on the art criticism of Ruskin would be better, in my opinion, if they showed more consciousness of the after revolutions that have reversed, at least in detail, much of Ruskin's teaching. We no longer think that art became valueless when it was first corrupted with

 anatomical accuracy. But if we return to that Raphaelism to which he was so unjust, let us not fall into the old error of intelligent reactionaries, that of ignoring our own debt to revolutions. Ruskin could not destroy the market of Raphaelism, but he could and did destroy its monopoly. We may go back to the Renaissance, but let us remember that we go back free. We can picnic now in the ruins of our dungeon and deride our deliverer.

But neither in Mr. Collingwood's book nor in Ruskin's own delightful "Præterita" shall we ever get to the heart of the matter. The work of Ruskin and his peers remains incomprehensible by the very completeness of their victory. Fallen forever is that vast brick temple of Utilitarianism, of which we may find the fragments but never renew the spell. Liberal Unionists howl in its high places, and in its ruins Mr. Lecky builds his nest. Its records read with something of the mysterious arrogance of Chinese: hardly a generation away from us, we read of a race who believed in the present with the same sort of servile

who possesses spiritual or political courage has made up his mind to a prospect of immutable mutability; but even in a "transformation" there is something catastrophic in the removal of the back scene. It is a truism to say of the wise and noble lady who is gone from us that we shall always remember her; but there is a subtler and higher compliment still in confessing that we often forgot her. We forgot her as we forget the sunshine, as we forget the postulates of an argument, as we commonly forget our own existence. Mr. Gladstone is the only figure whose loss prepared us for such earthquakes altering the landscape.

attaining the post of chief of the police of safety, I no longer cared for the snares with which they so often sought to encompass me. The time of trial was past; but still I was compelled to keep on my guard against the base jealousies of some of my subalterns, who envied my appointment, and did their utmost to endeavour to supplant me. Coco-Lacour was a leader amongst the malcontents, who endeavoured to caress and injure me at the same time. At the moment when this rogue was at fifty paces from me and would have overturned all the chairs in a church to come and salute me with a honeyed "God bless you," when, by chance he heard me sneeze, I was well assured that he was a snake in the grass. No one despises more than myself those petty attentions of a man who is servile, even when civility is scarcely requisite. But as I had a conscience which told me that I had done my duty, I cared very little as to whether these demonstrations were false or true. Scarcely a day passed without my spies informing me that Lacour was the soul of certain meetings, (conciliabules,) where all matters relating to me were discussed. They said that he projected my downfall; that there was a party formed against me, the aim of whose conspiracy was to destroy the tyrant Vidocq. At first, the conspirators contented themselves with clamours; and as they hid my destruction perpetually in perspective, that they might mutually please each other, they universally predicted it, and each of

 them partook beforehand of the inheritance of Alexander. I am ignorant whether the inheritance devolved on "the most worthy," but I know very well that my successor did not hesitate to have recourse to every stratagem, more or less skilful, to succeed in getting it adjudged to him previously to my abdication.

From clamours and scandal-meetings Lacour and his partisans passed to more decided measures; and on the approach of the sitting, during which Peyois, Leblanc, Berthelet, and Lefebvre, who were accused of robbery, by the aid of a crow-bar, or monseigneur le dauphin, they spread a report that I was on the eve of a catastrophe, and that, in all probability, I should not get off with clean hands.

This prophecy, delivered at all the vintners in the environs of the palace of justice, was soon brought to me, but I did not disquiet myself any more than at so many others which were not realized; only, I thought I perceived that Lacour redoubled his attentions and suppleness towards me; he saluted me more respectfully and with more ceremony than usual; his eyes, aided by the spiral movement of his head, when he sought to give himself the graces of a man of good breeding, sedulously avoided all contact with mine. At the same time, I remarked with three other of my agents, Chrestien, Utinet, and Decostard, an increase of zeal for the service, and a complaisance which astonished me. I was instructed that these gentlemen had frequent conferences with Lacour; as for myself, without thinking the least in the world of watching their steps for my personal interest, I had surprised them chattering and talking of me. One evening, particularly, passing into the court of la Sainte-Chapelle, (for they had plotted even in the sanctuary,) I had heard one of them rejoicing that I should not parry the thrust about to be made at me. What did this mean? I had not the least idea. When Peyois and his accomplices had been tried, the judicial examination developed a most atrocious machination, tending to

 of fire." How clear is it that in those cases hades cannot mean hell, considered as the final destination of the lost; for they who were in it were to be judged, and, it was after their judgment that they are said to be cast into "the lake of fire." Surely they were not passed on to their final destiny first, and judged during the process of its punishment! The connection in which the term occurs plainly shows that an intermediate region is essential to explain the phenomena recorded. John expressly says, "I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works." The facts thus detailed did not take place on earth; it is equally plain that they did not occur in heaven or in hell. The conclusion, therefore, is irresistible, namely, that the scene of them must have been the world of spirits. This at once enables us to see why it is said that hades delivered up its dead; it plainly denotes that the wicked inhabitants of that department of the spiritual world were brought to judgment: and hades is said to have been cast into the lake, to signify the miserable condition of the wicked which resulted.

In another place, John says, "I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit." Here we are expressly informed that an angel

 came down from heaven; heaven, therefore, could not have been the scene of his action; he finds the dragon, not in the bottomless pit, for he was to cast him into it: where then could have been this dragon at the period of the angel's visit? Is it not plain that it must have been an intermediate region between heaven and hell; and does it not clearly follow that that must have been the scene of judgment? Again, John "saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And it was said unto them that they should rest for a little season, until their fellow-servants also, and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled." Here the apostle plainly says, that he saw the souls of departed martyrs, and heard them asking for a judgment. What department of the spiritual world could have been the scene of these remarkable occurrences? That it was neither heaven nor hell is manifest; it seems therefore certain that it must have been an intermediate region.

Other passages pointing to the same conclusion could easily be selected from that wonderful book, the "Revelation;" indeed, a very considerable portion of it treats of appearances which were presented to the vision of John in this intermediate region of the spiritual world. Every one who has read it with care and discrimination must have observed that the extraordinary scenery and circumstances which are related to have been seen, were such as could not belong to the pure and peaceful kingdom of heaven, or to the entirely corrupt and abandoned condi-

 prove that I was the instigator of the crime which had led them to the galleys.

Peyois said, "that having addressed me, to ask me if I knew a recruiter who wanted a substitute, I had proposed that he should rob on my account, and that I had even given him three francs to buy the crow-bar, with which he had been taken when forcibly entering the house of Sieur Labatty." Berthelet and Lefebvre confirmed Peyois's statement; and a vintner named Leblanc who, implicated as well as they, appeared to have been the real provider of funds for procuring the instrument, encouraged them to persevere in a system of defence, which, if allowed, would have the effect of clearing him. The advocates who pleaded in this cause, did not fail to draw all possible argument from this imputation against me, and as they spoke from conviction, if they did not determine the jury to come to a decision favourable to their clients, at least they contrived to insinuate into the minds of the judges and the public most terrible prejudices against me. I therefore felt it incumbent on me to exculpate myself, and, sure of my innocence, I begged M. the préfet of police to grant me an inquiry, that the truth might be made evident.

Peyois, Berthelet, and Lefebvre were condemned, and I imagined that not having henceforward any motive for persisting in falsehood, they would confess that they had calumniated me; I presumed, besides, that in case their conduct should have been the result of suggestion, they would not make much difficulty in naming the advisers of the imposture which they had so impudently supported in the presence of justice. The préfet allowed the inquiry I solicited, and at the moment when he confided the care of directing it to M. Fleuriais, commissary of police for that quarter of the city, a previous document, on which I had not counted, preceded my justification; it was a letter of Berthelet to the vintner Leblanc, who had been declared not guilty; I transcribe it here, because it shows to what are reduced the accusations which were perpetually made

 tion of hell. Nevertheless, they were scenes and occurrences in some department of the spiritual world: about this there can be no reasonable doubt: how plain then does it become that it must have been that "gulf which exists between them;" where, consequently, judgment is performed, and from which the good are elevated into "eternal life," and the evil removed into "everlasting fire." The extraordinary things which are recorded to have appeared, were symbols of the spiritual states of those who dwell there: they were representative surroundings, and projections of the collective life and character of those who had gone thither from the natural world. Without the admission of the existence of such a place, and the belief of such a principle on which to account for the wonderful appearances displayed therein, the whole book becomes a dark enigma; but concede that they were spiritual realities, and all the phenomena become a wonderful philosophy unveiling to the world some of the peculiarities which distinguish the passage of men hence to their eternal destiny.

Moreover, the visions of the prophets consisted, for the most part, of sights into this first receptacle for departed men: and the singular things which they are stated to have seen were the outbirths and representations of the spiritual life of its inhabitants; thus revealing the interior condition of the Church and of the world, with which they had been connected. And as the phenomena described are, in many cases, such as cannot be reasonably supposed to be connected with the final residences of the lost, or of the blessed; it must follow, as an indisputable result, that they were connected with a world which exists between them.

The soul does not go directly to its everlasting home: that state cannot be entered till after judgment; it must, then, as before remarked, have a place in which to dwell,

 and where the true assize is held; and what imagination, aided by the suggestions of the Scriptures, can point out another place than that which the idea of an intermediate world supplies? Men cannot go from one place to another without passing through the space which intervenes. Neither can they rise from one state to another without passing through that which exists between them. Between two opposites there must be an intermediate. This seems to be a universal fact. It is observable between fire and ice; light and darkness; height and depth: also, between vice and virtue; wisdom and folly; industry and idleness: likewise between mind and matter; reason and instinct; love and hatred: why, then, should any one hesitate to acknowledge the existence of an intermediate world between heaven and hell?

But we are not left to the mere logic of the case for this conclusion: there are some statements in the prophets, by which it is clearly sustained. Ezekiel, speaking of being in "the spirit," said, "The hand of the Lord fell upon me, and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven." And Zechariah relates that he saw, when his spiritual eyes were opened for the purpose: "Two women, and the wind was in their wings, for they had wings like a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven." These passages plainly declare that there is a place in the spiritual world which is neither heaven nor hell. It is true that the terms employed are "between the earth and the heaven:" but the earth there does not mean the natural world; but those states of men that are of the "earth, earthy:" the prophets were lifted above this state, in the vision which they experienced, and yet their elevation did not reach the heavenly world; this, therefore,

I therefore warn you that if you forsake me, I will make a fresh discovery of the crow-bar which you furnished, and which has been found at your house, which you well know we have not told to justice, and with which a chief of police has been charged in this affair, who is entirely innocent, and who has been singled out as a victim; you are not ignorant of the promises that you made in your room, on condition that we supported you before the tribunal; you are not ignorant that I sold the sugar and candles to your wife, and, therefore, if you abandon me, I shall think no more of you and your fine promises.

And, in like manner, Moes lived XL Years more among the Midianites, where, it appears by Jethro, there wanted not Perons of great Knowledge. And from thence he might eaily be intructed in all that the Arabians knew: Who were no mean People (it appears by the Story of Job and his three Friends, and Elihu, who is uppoed by ome to have that admirable Book) and were near Neighbours to the mot famous Nations of the Eatern Countries; From whom, it is evidence by this Hitory, all Learning, Arts, and Sciences originally came.

 France and Ireland. May the Lord of all the universe perpetuate his kingdom, and also assist him against all lis enemies. After that, be it known unto the king that I was very much pleased to hear the words of the letter which the king ordered to be presented to me. Now it is stated therein that the king requests that the English people may trade in Tiku and Priaman, and that they may settle there to trade, as in the time of His Highness the late Saidu ’l-Mukammal. Now it is my decree that the English people cannot, as desired by the king, receive my permission to trade in Tiku and Priaman, and cannot settle there to trade, for those countries are wild, and moreover are distant from us. If the people of Tiku or Priamian should molest them, we should certainly get an infamous report with King James. By the grace of the Lord of all the universe, if the English people who are servants of the king desire to trade, let them trade in Acheen: and if they desire to send their factors to trade, let them send them to Acheen, so that whoever shall molest them we may quickly make inquiry and punish with a just punishment, since they are the servants of the king who is in correspondence with us. May the Lord of all the universe give peace to King James on the throne of the kingdom of England for ever. This letter was written in Acheen in the year of the Mohammedan era one thousand and twenty-four.
