It was favourably\\nreceived, as it in some degree supplied a public want. In 1855, Mr. Joseph\\nHaydn, the compiler, was compelled by failing health to relinquish his\\nlabours, and at the earnest request of the Publisher, Mr. Edward Moxou,\\nthe present Editor undertook the continuation of the work, and the superin-\\ntendence of the Seventh Edition, while passing through the press. This\\nled eventually to his undertaking the thorough renovation of the book,\\nwhich has been gradually effected by revision and correction and\\ncopious additions. The new features include Chronological Tables at the\\nbeginning of the volume, innumerable historical, literary, scientific, topo-\\ngraphical, and geographical facts inserted in the body of the work,\\nand a Dated Index. To make room for these additions the size of\\nthe page has been enlarged, many articles have been condensed or printed\\nin smaller type, and much useless matter has been expunged.\\nThe Twentieth Edition continues the general history of the world\\nduring the last three years, under the heads of the respective countries\\nthe more important events being noticed in separate articles. Especial\\nattention has been given to the affairs of the British Empire, political,\\necclesiastical, social, commercial, and philanthropic. Details are given\\nrelating to the political affairs of France, Germany and the United States\\nof North America, to European progress throughout Africa, and to revo-\\nlutions in South America. In the course of revision extra attention has\\nbeen given to the articles connected with ancient history in relation to\\nmodern researches.

The kindness of those friends who have pointed\\nout errors and omissions, which are almost unavoidable in a work of such\\nscope and magnitude, is gratefully acknowledged.

Posidonius\\n(about 79 B.C.) calculated the height of the atmo-\\nsphere to be 800 stadia. The pressure of air, about\\n15 lbs. to the square inch, was discovered by Galileo,\\n1 564, and demonstrated by Torricelli, (who invented\\nthe barometer) about A. d. 1643, and was found by\\nPascal, in 1647, to vary with the height. Halley,\\nNewton, and others, up to the present time have\\nillustrated the agency and influences of this great\\npower by various experiments, and numerous inven-\\ntions have followed; among others, the Air-Gun\\nof Guter of Nuremberg about 1656; the Air-pump,\\ninvented by Otto von Guericke of Magdeburg about\\n1650; improved by Robert Boyle in 1657, by Robert\\nHooke about 1659 and the Air-pipe, invented by\\nMr. Sutton, a brewer of London, about 1756. The\\ndensity and elasticity of air were determined by\\nBoyle and its relation to light and sound by Hooke,\\nNewton, and Derham. The extension of our atmo-\\nsphere above the surface of the earth, has been long\\nconsidered as about 45 miles. Its composition^\\nabout 77 parts of nitrogen, 21 of oxygen, and 2 of\\nother matters (such as carbonic acid watery vapour,\\na trace of ammonia, c.) was ascertained by Priestley\\n(who discovered oxygen gas in 1774), Scheele\\n(1775), Lavoisier, and Cavendish; and its laws of\\nrefraction were investigated by Dr. Bradley, 1737.\\nThe researches of Dr. Schonbein, a German chemist\\nof Basel, between 1840 and 1859, led to his descrip-\\ntion of two states of the oxygen in the air, which he\\ncalls ozone and antozone. Dr. Stenhouse s Air-Jilters\\n(in which powdered charcoal is used) were first set\\nup at the Mansion-house, London, in 1854. In 1858,\\nDr. R.

In the Sports of\\nEngland, we read of the Easter fierce hunts, when\\nfoaming boars fought for their heads, and lusty bulls\\nand huge-bears were baited with dogs; and near\\nthe Clink, London, was the Paris, or Bear Garden,\\nso celebrated in the time of Elizabeth for the exhi-\\nbition of bear-baiting, then a fashionable amuse-\\nment.

This year was of fifty days less\\nduration than the lunar year, and of sixty-one less\\nthan the solar year, and its commencement did not\\ncorrespond with any fixed season.

This calendar was\\ndefective, as the solar year consists of 365 days, 5\\nhours, 49 minutes, and not of 365 days 6 hours.\\nThis being still erroneous Augustus Cresar reformed\\nthe calendar still further, but not perfectly, B.C. 8,\\nand the difference, in the 16th century amounted to\\n10 entire days, the vernal equinox falling on nth\\ninstead of 21st March. To obviate this error, pope\\nGregory XIII. ordained, in 1582, that that year\\nshould consist of 355 days only (5 Oct. became 15\\nOct.) and to prevent further irregularity, it was\\ndetermined that a year ending a century should\\nnot be bissextile, with the exception of that end-\\ning each fourth century thus 1700 and 1800 have\\nnot been bissextile, nor will 1900 be so but the\\nyear 2000 will be a leap-year. In this manner three\\ndays are retrenched in 400 years, because the lapse\\nof eleven minutes makes three days in about that\\nperiod. The year of the calendar is thus made as\\nnearly as possible to correspond with the true solar\\nyear, and future errors of chronology are avoided.\\nSee New Style and French Revolutionary Calendar.\\nCORRESPONDENCE OF CALENDARS WITH A.D. 1889.\\nJulian period 66 02\\nSear of the world (Jewish year) 6 Sept. 1888\u00e2\u0080\u0094\\n25 Sept. 1889 5 6 49\\nHegira (8 Sept. 1888, to 27 Aug. 1889) 1306\\nFoundation of Rome (Varro) 2642\\nOlympiads 266s\\nEra of Nabonassar 2 6 3 6\\nUnited States Independence 113-14\\nYear of Queen Victoria 52-53\\nComte, in his Systeuie de Politique Positive, (insti-\\ntuting the Religion of Humanity published a ca-\\nlendar of 13 months, dedicated successively to Moses,\\nHomer, Aristotle, Archimedes, Caesar, Paul, Charle-\\nmagne, Dante, Guttenberg, Shakespeare, Descartes,\\nFrederic, and Bichat an eminent person was com-\\nmemorated every day.\\nCALENDEE, a machine used in glazing vari-\\nous kinds of cloth, was introduced into England by\\nthe Huguenots, who were driven by persecution\\nfrom France, Holland, and the Netherlands to these\\ncountries, about 1685.

Its origin\\nis ascribed by Bede to pope Gelasius in the 5th\\ncentury. The practice of lighting the churches was\\nforbidden by order of council, 2 \u00c2\u00a3dw.

Splinters of wood fatted were used for light\\namong the lower classes in England, about 1300.\\nWax candles were little used, and dipped candles\\nwere usually burnt. The Wax Chandlers com-\\npany was incorporated 1483. Mould candles are\\nsaid to be the invention of the sieur Le Brez, of\\nParis. Spermaceti candles are of modern manu-\\nfacture. The Chinese make candles from wax ob-\\ntained from the candleberry-tree (myrica cerifera)\\nThe duty upon candles made in England, imposed\\nin 1709, amounted to about 500,000/. annually\\nAvhen it was repealed in 1 831. Very great improve-\\nments in the manufacture of candles are due to the\\nresearches on oils and fats, carried on by the\\nfather of the fatty acids, Chevreul, since 1811,\\nand published in 1823. He died 9 April,\\n1889, aged 102. At Price s manufactory at\\nLambeth, the principles involved in many patents\\nare carried into execution including those of\\nGwynne (1840), Jones and Price (1842), and Wil-\\nson in 1844, for candles which require no snuffing\\n(termed composite). Palm and cocoa-nut oils are\\nnow extensively used. In i860, at the Belmont\\nworks 900 persons were employed, and in winter\\n100 tons (7000/. worth) of candles were manufactured\\nweekly. Candles are manufactured at Belmont\\nfrom the mineral oil of tar brought from Rangoon\\nin the Burmese empire, and from Trinidad. In\\n1870 the manufacture of candles from a mineral\\nsubstance named ozokerit began.

He acquired great fame by\\nhis accurate representation of an unswept floor\\nafter a feast. The Romans also excelled in Mosaic\\nwork, as evidenced by the innumerable specimens\\npreserved. Byzantine Mosaics date from the 4th\\ncentury after Christ. The art was revived in Italy\\nby Tafi, Gaddi, Cimabue, and Giotto, who designed\\nMosaics, and introduced a higher style in the 13th\\ncentury. In the 16th century Titian and Veronese\\nalso designed subjects for this art. The practice of\\ncopying paintings in Mosaics came into vogue in\\nthe 1 7th century and there is now a workshop in\\nthe Vatican where chemical science is employed in\\nthe production of colours, and where 20,000 different\\ntints are kept. In 1861, Dr. Salviati of Venice had\\nestablished his manufacture of Enamel-mosaics,\\nand in July, 1864, he fixed a large enamel Mosaic\\npicture in one of the spandrils under the dome of\\nSt. Paul s cathedral, London.

The first act\\nof naturalisation passed in 1437 and various similar\\nenactments were made in most of the reigns from\\nthat time; several of tbem special acts relating to\\nindividuals. An act for the naturalisation of the\\nJews passed May, 1753, but was repealed in 1754,\\non the petition of all the cities in England see\\nJews, for the privileges since granted them.

Kniphoft of Erfurt, between 1728 and 1757,\\nproduced his Herbarium vivum by pressing the plants\\nthemselves (previously inked) on paper the im-\\npressions being afterwards coloured by hand.

A code of maritime\\nlaws is attributed to Richard I. of England, said\\nto have been decreed at the isle of Oleron,\\n1194, and further enactments were made by\\nRichard II. in 1381. In Oct. 1651, the parliament\\npassed an act entitled Goods from foreign parts,\\nby whom to be imported, the principles of which\\nwere affirmed by 12 Charles II. c. 18, an act for\\nthe encouraging and increasing of shipping and\\nnavigation (1660). The latter act restricts the\\nimportation and exportation of goods from or to\\nAsia, Africa, or America, to English ships, of which\\nthe masters and three-fourths of the mariners are\\nto be English. 1 his was followed by many acts\\nof similar tenor which were consolidated by 3 4\\nWill. IV. c. 54 (1833). These acts were in the\\nwhole or in part repealed by the act to amend the\\nlaws in force for the encouragement of British\\nshipping and navigation (passed 12 13 Vict. c.\\n29, 26 June, 1849, after much opposition), and\\nwhich came into operation 1 Jan. 1850. The steam\\nnavigation act passed 14 15 Vict. c. 79, 1851,\\ncame into operation I Jan. 1852. The act regulating\\nthe navigation of the river Thames was passed in\\n1786.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 In Feb. 1865 the emperor recommended the\\nmodification of the French navigation laws in Feb.\\n1872, new restrictions were laid upon foreign ships,\\nchiefly affecting British.\\nNAVIGATOES (or Navvies).

He\\nwas found guilty of murder, 22 June, 1736; but the\\nqueen granted him a reprieve (the king being then in\\nHanover).

It was captured by\\nthe French and retaken by the Germans 1676,\\nreunited to France 1794-1814, and ceded to Prussia,\\n1815. On 2 Aug. 1870, it was bombarded by the\\nFrench under Frossard (between 1 1 and 1 in the\\ndaytime), and the Prussians in small force were\\ndislodged, and the town occupied by the French\\ngeneral Bataille. The mitrailleuses were said to be\\nvery effective. The emperor Napoleon, who was\\npresent with his son, said in a telegram to the\\nempress, Louis has gone through his baptism of\\nfire. He has not been in the least startled. We\\nstood in the foremost rank, and the rifle balls were\\ndropping at our feet, and Louis picked up one that\\nfell near him.

The loss was great on both sides. The\\nFrench general Franqois was killed, and the 2nd\\ncorps under Frossard nearly destroyed. The French\\nretreated to Metz. They were greatly superior in\\nnumbers at the beginning of the fight, but were\\nbadly commanded.\\nSABBATARIANS. Traces exist of Sabba-\\ntarii, or Sabbathaires, among the sects of the iGth\\ncentury on the continent. Upon the publication of\\nthe Rook of Sports in 1618, a violent contro-\\nversy arose among English divines on two points\\nfirst, whether the Sabbath of the fourth command-\\nment was in force among Christians and\\nsecondly, whether, and on what ground, the first day\\nof the week was entitled to be distinguished and\\nobserved as the Sabbath. In 1628, Theophilus\\nRraboume, a clergyman, published the first work\\nin favour of the Seventh-day or Saturday, as the\\ntrue Christian Sabbath. He and several others\\nsuffered great persecution for this opinion but\\nafter the restoration there were three or four con-\\ngregations observing the last day of the week for\\npublic worship in London, and seven or eight in\\nthe country parts of England. In 185 1 there were\\nthree Sabbatarian or Seventh-day Baptist congre-\\ngations in England but in America (especially\\nin the New England states) they are more nume-\\nrous. Joseph Davis suffered imprisonment in 1670.\\nHe and his son bequeathed property to maintain\\nthe sect and litigation respecting its disposal wa3\\neettled by vice-chancellor Stuart in conformity with\\nfieir intentions in June, 1870.

The\\npumping-screw of Archimedes, or screw-cylinder\\nfor raising water, invented about 236 B.C., is still\\nin use. It is stated that with the assistance of the\\nscrew, one man can press down or raise up as much\\nas 150 men can do without it. The Screw-Pro-\\npeller consists of two or more twisted blades,\\nlike the vanes of a windmill, set on an axis, run-\\nning parallel with the keel of a vessel, and revolving\\nbeneath the water at the stem. It is driven by\\na steam-engine. The principle was shown by\\nHooke in 1681, and since by Du Quet, Bemouilli,\\nand others. Patents for propellers were taken out\\nby Joseph Bramah in 1784; by Wm. Lyttelton in\\n1794; and by Edward Shorter in 1799. But these\\nled to no useful result. In 1836 patents were ob-\\ntained by Francis Pettit Smith (knighted July,\\n187 1 died, 12 Feb. 1874) and captain John Erics-\\nson (died, aged 86, March, 1889) and to them the\\nsuccessful application of the screw-propeller must\\nbe attributed. The first vessels with the screw were\\nthe Archimedes, built on the Thames in 1838 by\\nII. Wimshurst, and the Rattler, built in the United\\nStates (1844), and tried in England in 1845.\\nDouble screw-propellers are now employed. A new\\nform of screw-propeller invented by col. W.

Silk-\\nworms were brought from India to Europe in the\\n6th century. Charlemagne sent Ofl a, king of\\nMercia, a present of two silken vests, 780. The\\nmanufacture was encouraged by Roger, king of\\nSicily, at Palermo, 1146, when the Sicilians not\\nonly bred the silk- worms, but spun and wove the\\nsilk. The manufacture spread into Italy and Spain,\\nand also into the south of France, a little before\\nthe reign of Francis I. about 1510; and Henry IV.\\npropagated mulberry-trees and silk-worms through-\\nout the kingdom, about 1600. In England, silk\\nmantles were worn by some noblemen s ladies at a\\nball at Kenilworth castle, 1286. Silk was worn by\\nthe English clergy in 1534.

In 1858 a commission\\nwas appointed to inquire into the nature of the disease,\\nthen termed pebrine; and M. Quatrefages, in 1869,\\nproved that it is hereditary, contagious, and infectious.\\nM.

The\\ncolours thus produced are red, orange, yellow, green,\\nblue, indigo, and violet. The phenomena were first\\nexplained by Newton, whose Optics was pub-\\nlished in 1704. Several of these colours are con-\\nsidered to be compounds of three primary ones by\\n.Mayer (1775), red, yellow, and blue by Dr. Thos.\\nYoung (1801), red, green, and violet; by Prof, j\\nClerk Maxwell (i860), red, green, and blue. As\\nthe colour of a flame varies according to the sub-\\nstance producing it or introduced into it, so the\\nspectrum varies. This led to the invention of a\\nmethod of chemical analysis by professors Bunsen\\nand Kirchhoff (i860), by which they discovered\\ntwo new metals, and drew conclusions as to\\nthe nature of the atmosphere of the sun and stars,\\nand of the light of the nebula;, by comparing the\\nspectrum with that produced by flames into which\\niron, sodium, and other substances have been intro-\\nduced.

Indies). Before the English East\\nIndia company obtained possession of Bombay, the\\npresidency of their affairs on the coast of Malabar\\nwas at Surat; and they had a factory here estab-\\nlished under captain Best in 161 1. The Great\\nMogul had here an officer who was styled his ad-\\nmiral. An attack of the Mahratta chief Sivajee,\\non the British factory, was defeated by sir George\\nOxenden, 1664. The English were again attacked\\nin 1670 and 1702, and often subsequently. The\\nEast India company, in 1759, fitted out an arma-\\nment, which dispossessed the admiral of the castle\\nand, soon after, the possession of this castle was\\nconfirmed to them by the court of Delhi. Surat\\nwas vested in the British in 1800 and 1803. A\\nfourth part of Surat was destroyed by fire 6, 7\\nApril, 1889.\\nSURGEONS. Barbers and surgeons were united\\nin one company in 1540 but it was enacted that no\\nperson using any shaving or barbery in London shall\\noccupy any surgery, letting of blood, or other matter\\nexcepting only the drawing of teeth. In 1745\\nthe surgeons and barbers of London were made dis-\\ntinct corporations. The college of surgeons obtained\\ncharters in 1745, 1800, and 1843 (when it was styled\\nthe Boyal College of Surgeons of England 1852,\\nand 1859.

Should no\\nheir then exist, the whole was to be applied, by\\nthe agency of the sinking fund, to the discharge of\\nthe national debt.

From their strictness of life they were called\\nMethodists, in 1729. John Wesley went to Georgia\\nin America, in 1735, with a view of converting the\\nIndians. On his return to England, in 1738, he\\ncommenced itinerant preaching, and gathered many\\nfollowers. On finding many churches shut against\\nhim, he built spacious meeting-houses in London,\\nBristol, and other places. The W esleyan Methodist\\nsociety, as such, began in 1 739. For some time he was\\nunited with George Whiteti eld; but differing with\\nhim respecting the doctrine of election, they sepa-\\nrated in 1 741; see Whitefield. Wesley was almost\\ncontinually engaged in travelling through the\\nUnited Kingdom. His two leading doctrines were\\nthe instantancousness of conversion, and Christian\\nperfection, or deliverance from all sin.

I\\nhave cancelled one of these receipts, and I have charged\\ncomte. de Montholon to present to you the other receipt,\\nin order that you may, after my death, deliver to him the\\nsaid sum with interest at the rate of five per cent., from\\nthe 1st of July, 1815, deducting the payments with which\\nyou have been charged in virtue of my order. I have\\nalso remitted to you a box containing my medallion. I\\nbeg you will deliver it to comte Montholon.\\nThis letter having no other object, I pray God, Mon-\\nsieur Lafitte, that He may have you in His holy and\\nworthy keeping.\\nNAPOLEON.\\nLongwood, in the island of St. Helena, 25 April,\\n1821.\\nThe following Will of Napoleon III. was published\\nin the Times, 30 April, 1873:\\nApril 24, 1865.\\nThis is my will. I commend my son and my wife to\\nthe high constituted authorities of the state (aux grands\\ncorps de l Etat), to the people, and the army. The em-\\npress Eugenie possesses all the qualities requisite for\\nconducting the regency well, and my son displays a dis-\\nposition and judgment which will render him worthy of\\nhis high destinies. Let him never forget the motto of the\\nhead of our family, Everything for the French people.\\nLet him fix in his mind the writings of the prisoner\\nof St. Helena; let him study the emperor s deeds and\\ncorrespondence finally, let him remember, when circum-\\nstances so permit, that the cause of the peoples is the\\ncause of France. Power is a heavy burden, because one\\ncannot always do all the good one could wish, and be-\\ncause your contemporaries seldom render you justice, so\\nthat, in order to fulfil one s mission, one must have faith\\nin, and consciousness of, one s duty. It is necessary to\\nconsider that from heaven on high those whom you have\\nloved regard and protect you it is the soul of my illus-\\ntrious uncle that has always inspired and sustained me.\\nThe like will apply to my son, for he will always be\\nworthy of his name. I leave to the empress Eugenie all\\nmy private property. It is my desire that on the ma-\\njority of my son she shall inhabit the Elysee and Biar-\\nritz. I trust that my memory will be dear to her, and\\nthat after my death she will forget the griefs I may have\\ncaused her. With regard to my son, let him keep as a\\ntalisman the seal I used to wear attached to my watch,\\nand which comes from my mother; let him carefully\\npreserve everything that comes to me from the em-\\nperor, my uncle, and let him be convinced that my heart\\nand my soul remain with him. I make no mention of my\\nfaithful servants. I am convinced that the empress and\\nmy son will never abandon them. I shall die in the\\nCatholic, Apostolic, and Roman religion, which my son\\nwill always honour by his piety.

It was once more burnt down\\nin 1 137, with St. Mary s abbey, and 39 parish\\nchurches in York.
