- A Floating Dry Dock
And a ship undergoing repairs. - M Paris
Mathew Paris, a Benedictine of the monastery of St.Allan's, stands in the first rank of our monkish historians. He was no inconsiderable poet and orator for the time in which he flourished; and is said to have understood Painting, architecture, and the Mathemaics. He was the Author of the "Historia Major," and “Historia Minor.” which is an abridgment of the former; to which is prefixed his portrait. He is censured for a mixture of fable in his History, but this censure affects the character of the age, rather than that of the Author. Mathew Paris gives us the most particular History of the Wandering Jew that is to be found in any author. He received this account from an American Archbishop, and one of his domestics, who were here in the reign of Henry IIl.and who affirmed that they had their relation from the Wanderer himself. It is to be concluded hence, that there was such an Impostor, and that be well acted his part. - St. Julien and St. Basilissa, his wife

Formerly the holder of the transatlantic record. - Mr Hobbs
Mr Hobbs was born in Malmsbury, Wilts, from whence he obtained the name of Malmsburiensis, and educated in Magdalen Hall, Oxford, where he took his degree of Bachelor of Arts; from whence he was taken into the Earl of Devonshire's family before he was twenty years of age, and soon after traveled with his son into France and Italy. And after variety of travels abroad, he returned into England, and settled in the house of his patron the Earl of Devonshire, where he lived many years in ease and plenty, rather as a friend and confidant, than a tutor or instructor. He was of very extensive genius, improved by great labour and sedulity, and had the reputation both abroad and at home, of a great philosopher and mathematician. CHARLES II, having learned mathematics of him, at his restoration, allowed him a pension of a hundred pounds a year out of the Exchequer, though he was a contemner of all money and riches. As to his peculiar notions in religion and policy, with which he infected many ingenious gentlemen, they are too difficult to be excused, and too dangerous to be palliated; he died in the ninety-first year of his age. - Miniature taken from 'Les Femmes Illustres'

- Position of the left hand and the left arm
The violin is held with the left hand and rests on the left collar bone. The instrument must be horizontal. To give a firm grip, a small pad is often placed between the violin and the left shoulder. A chin-rest screwed to the ribs, and covering a part of the upper table, is also to be recommended. The chin-rest serves also to protect the varnish. To prove that the violin is held securely and well, the left hand may be removed. - An owl and some bats
- Prosper Mérimée
There is a lean athletic air about the tales of Prosper Mérimée. Their author is like a man who throws balls at the cocoa-nuts in the fair—to bring them down, and not for the pleasure of throwing. His writing was something quite outside himself, undertaken for the satisfaction of feeling himself able to do it. - Othello
