med, he also said it was sure death to go. I replied that it would be sure death or starvation in Confederate prisons to remain, and that if I could reach our lines I could release all of them by opening fire so that the smoke would obscure the field and all could come out. I gave the word that when the next shell came, Corporal Bigelow and I would start, keeping a little apart. We did so, and, passing through showers of bullets, we reached our line in safety and I ordered my men to open fire on the enemy's line. They replied by a furious fire, and soon the smoke settled over the field, and under cover of that fire all the general officers but Bartlett escaped. Bartlett and Colonel Marshall were captured. The loss of our regiment that day was as follows: One lieutenant (Hartley) killed, two wounded; Colonel Marshall and Lieutenants George H. Wing (Company L), Fauss, and Grierson prisoners; and 126 men killed, wounded, and missing — this from less than 400 taken into the charge

h brick or concrete. Concrete or beton walls. Hollow tile walls. Iron frame with wire-work riveted thereto and covered over with plaster or concrete. See wall, where many varieties are illustrated. The means for fire-proofing the necessary openings, that is, the door and window ways, are by louvers, folding, sliding, swinging, and rolling shutters of iron. Some made double with intervening air-space; others made to close automatically by the increase of heat when exposed to fire. Hartley's patent, 1775, consisted of a plan for sheathing wooden work with thin iron plates. Earl Stanhope's plan was to pack all the interspaces of wood-work with incombustible material; preferably concrete. Of other English plans of late date may be cited, iron joists with concrete filling and upper bed supporting the flooring. See flooring, where several varieties are shown. Another plan is cellular joists of earthenware tubes imbedded in cement. Loudon recommends a floor of cement

In the Lords, Nov. 18th, 1777, the Duke of Richmond said: Can we too soon put a stop to such a scene of carnage? I know, that what I am going to say is not fashionable language, but a time will come when every one of us must account to God for his actions; and how can we justify causing so many innocent lives to be lost? In the Commons, Dec. 5th, 1778, Mr. Hartley, the constant friend of America, brought forward a motion: That it is unbecoming the wisdom and prudence of Parliament, to proceed any further in the support of this fruitless, expensive, and destructive war; more especially without any specific terms of accommodation declared. In the Lords, Feb. 16th, 1778, the Marquis of Rockingham said: He was determined to serve his country, by making peace at any rate. In the Lords, March 23d, 1778, the Duke of Richmond brought fo

ever was in any other country, has no connection with the many little governments through which it is scattered without being broken or divided. From this separation of the practical affairs from science and letters to the extraordinary degree in which it is done in Germany, comes, I think, the theoretical nature of German literature in general, and of German metaphysics in particular. This is the way in which I account for the origin and prevalence of Locke's system of sensations, and Hartley's and Priestley's materialism in the one country, and Kant's and Fichte's high, abstract idealism in the other; because in England the man of letters must be more or less a practical man; in Germany, he is necessarily as pure a theorist or idealist as the Greeks were. But, whether my explanation of the cause be right or wrong, the fact remains unquestionable, and the next thing you will desire to know, will be the effects of this system of things. They are undoubtedly manifold; more pe

n themselves a spiritual nature and a warrant for their belief in immortality; yet, under the moderating influence of Wesley, giving the world the unknown spectacle of a fervid reform in religion, combined with unquestioning deference to authority in the state. English metaphysical philosophy itself bore a character of moderation analogous to English institutions. In open disregard to the traditions of the Catholic church, Locke had denied that thought implies an immaterial substance; and Hartley and the chillingly repulsive Priestley asserted that the soul was but of chap.

mal interview with him, at which Hillsborough and Jenkinson were present, became extremely heated and eager, Grenville's Diary for Friday, 6 January, 1764, in Grenville Papers, i. 48. Grenville remained inflexible. Nor would he listen to the suggestion, that the revenue to be raised in America should constitute a fund to be disposed of under the sign manual of the king; he insisted that it should be paid into the receipt of the Exchequer, to be regularly appropriated by parliament. Hartley, in his published letters, Wells on this distinction. But compare the acts prepared by Grenville, with those of Townshend and Lord North. Nor did Grenville ever take part in the schemes which were on foot to subvert the charters of the colonies, and control their domestic government. Nor did he contribute to confer paramount authority on the military officers in America. Pownall's Administration of the Colonies. Second Edition, 69, and compare the edition of 1776, i. 101.

He had designedly left the civil officers dependent on the local legislators, and consigned the proceeds of the American tax to the Exchequer. Compare Hartley's Letters on the War. Townshend's revenue was to be disposed of under the sign manual at the King's pleasure. This part of the system had no limit as to time or place, and was intended as a perpetual menace.

es of all Europe, as a nursery of men for those who have most money. Princes who thus sell their subjects, to be sacrificed in destructive wars, commit the additional crime of making them destroy much better and nobler beings than themselves. The landgrave of Hesse has his prototype in Sancho Panza, who said that if he were a prince, he should wish all his subjects to be blackamoors, so that he could turn them into ready money by selling them. A Chap.

The third son of the earl of Bute spoke for sanguinary measures, and contrasted the unrivalled credit of England with the weak, uncurrent paper of America. The measures of ministers, said James Luttrell, who had served in America, are death-warrants to thousands of British subjects, not steps towards regaining the colonies. George Grenvi
