Old Sights with New Eyes 0 L D SIGHTS W IT H N E W E YES. BY A Y AN KEE. W IT H A N IN T R O D U C T I O N BY ROBERT BAIRD, D.D. NEW YORK : M. W. D. O D D, P U B L IS H E R, BRICK CHURCH CHAPEL, OPPOSITE THE CITY HALL. 1854. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1853, by M. W. D O D D, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the Southern District of New York. R. CRAIGHEAD, Printer, 53 Vesey Street. INTRODUCTION. THIS interesting volume is from the pen of a young New England Clergyman, whose modesty constrains him to send it forth into the world without the author's name. Whether he has acted wisely or unwisely in so doing, is a question about which opinions may be divided. - To those who desire to read well written and appropriate notices of the places of chief interest in “Old Europe,” this volume may be recom mended without reserve. The style is pure and beautiful, and the descriptions of places and things are exact, concise, and highly interest ing. It is manifest that the work is the production of a well cultivated. and superior mind. It is altogether the most readable and instructive, book of travels, embracing the same field, which the subscriber has seen for a long time. None but the most important places and objects: are made to occupy the attention of the reader; and these are always spoken of in the fewest words possible, so that the interest is well sustained from the beginning to the end of the volume. The discrimination with which the author treats of the various objeets of art which he saw, displays no ordinary cultivation of judg ment and taste. In this respect, the book before us reminds one of “Mathews' Diary of an Invalid,” a book of surpassing interest, even yet, on the best works of art to be seen in Italy. viii I N T R O D U CT I O N . Familiar as he is with every step of the tour which the author made, from the time he reached the old world until he quit it, the subscriber may claim some degree of competency to speak of the merits of this book. What opinion he entertains respecting it, the reader, after perusing the preceding paragraphs, can be at no loss to divine. And we hardly need say that we take great pleasure in being made the medium of introducing it to the reading public of this country. Most unhesitatingly and confidently can we recommend it to all those who desire to acquire clear and correct opinions in respect to the prominent objects of interest in the chief cities of the most civilized countries of the old world. None can read it without pleasure and profit. R. BAIRD. New York, November 5th, 1853. C O N T E N T S. - Page CHAPTER 1. The Voyage . - • * * * * * * 13 CHAPTER II. Liverpool º 20 CHAPTER III.

A voyage to EUROPE What a grand idea! It had long haunted my imagination like some bright vision of romance, which I hardly dared hope ever to see realized. The very word “voyage” had a bracing, inspiriting, salt-water air. It called up “spirits from the vasty deep”—old ocean's varied forms of beauty and sublimity, gallant ships proudly careering o'er the waves, crews of brave and generous-hearted tars, and all the exciting scenes of nautical adventure. And then EUROPE—the world's museum, crowded with the choicest productions of genius in every department of human effort, with her time-honored castles, her stupendous cathedrals, her magnificent palaces, her immense works of public utility, her unequalled collections of paintings, and statues, and antiquities, her venerable universities, her vast libraries, her long line of illustrious artists, and historians, and poets, and philoso phers, and orators, and statesmen, and heroes, where every spot of ground is hallowed by its association with the most celebrated 2 * - - 14 O L D S I G HTS A Woyage to Europe. events and names in history—it seemed impossible for one to breathe the air or tread the soil of such a classic land, without catching the inspiration of its greatness, and becoming himself a great man by inevitable consequence. Imagine then, my delight at the prospect of actually attaining this elevation, and becoming myself “a travelled man.” Yes! The good ship “Aberdeen, Hubbard, master,” was up for Liverpool, to sail in five days, and it was for me to say, whether I would go in her. I hurried home to make the necessary preparations. How vivid is the recollection of those few days! All surrounding objects seemed to share in my excitement of feeling, and to wear looks of unwonted significance. What changes might pass over them during my absence How changed might I be before my return And what if I should never come back again The very books on my study shelves seemed to reproach me for leaving their quiet and dignified society, to become a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth. Once under way, I began to feel, for the first time, the loneli ness of my situation. We were not far from the shore. The long lines of lighted streets were visible on both sides of us. Yet it seemed as if the ocean already rolled between me and my native land. I had set out for foreign shores, and return was impossible, until I had accomplished the end of my pilgrimage. The next morning the wind was in our favor, and the music of the Sabbath bells was borne to our ears from off the land. Oh, how sweetly they sounded! as if calling us to stay and rest that day under the shadow of the sanctuary. But we heeded them not. Our pilot was aboard, and we immediately got under way. It was a beautiful morning, and the harbor was alive with vessels; some, like us, outward bound, and others just arrived. Soon we met the United States mail steamer W IT H N E W E Y E S . 15 Sea Sickness—Reflections. “Hermann” from Southampton, with all her colors flying; then the packet ships “Waterloo” and “Guy Mannering,” and others, whose decks were crowded with emigrants just opening their eyes on the “New World.” About noon we passed Sandy Hook, and discharged our pilot. The wind freshened up from the southward, and we began to make some headway. The next morning brought my first experience of sea-sick ness. I succeeded in getting on deck and walking a little, but at breakfast-time my appetite suddenly disappeared, and I retreated precipitately to my state-room, where I turned in and lay the rest of the day. This was Monday. Tuesday, ditto— ate nothing but a few prunes and some arrow-root gruel. Wednesday, ditto—much sea, and a great deal of rolling.

To find evidence for this ideal and how it was regarded at the time, in this study a survey is made of woolworking references in the contemporary Augustan poets Vergil, Tibullus, Propertius and Ovid. Other extant versions of the Lucretia legend do not mention woolworking; Livy appears to have added Lucretia’s devotion to wool, a tradition in keeping with Augustan propaganda.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. A SOCIAL AND CULTURAL HISTORY OF THE NEW ZEALAND HORSE CAROLYN JEAN MINCHAM 2008 E.J. Brock, ‘Traducer’ from New Zealand Country Journal.4:1 (1880). A Social and Cultural History of the New Zealand Horse A Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History Massey University, Albany, New Zealand Carolyn Jean Mincham 2008 i Abstract Both in the present and the past, horses have a strong presence in New Zealand society and culture. The country’s temperate climate and colonial environment allowed horses to flourish and accordingly became accessible to a wide range of people. Horses acted as an agent of colonisation for their role in shaping the landscape and fostering relationships between coloniser and colonised. Imported horses and the traditions associated with them, served to maintain a cultural link between Great Britain and her colony, a characteristic that continued well into the twentieth century. Not all of these transplanted readily to the colonial frontier and so they were modified to suit the land and its people. There are a number of horses that have meaning to this country. The journey horse, sport horse, work horse, warhorse, wild horse, pony and Māori horse have all contributed to the creation of ideas about community and nationhood. How these horses are represented in history, literature and imagery reveal much of the attitudes, values, aspirations and anxieties of the times.

Attic red figure kylix, attributed to the Codrus Painter. ca. 430 BCE. British Museum Project Assignment: Homeric Hymn For this project, you will write a “mini” Homeric Hymn (mini as opposed to the longer Homeric Hymns we have read) to the god of your choice. Your hymn should not exceed one page in length and should include the major formal elements of Hymns that we have discussed in class: 1) Address to/identification of the deity 2) Praise of the deity • Birth/parentage • Sedes (“abodes”): birthplace, major cult sites, favorite cities/areas • Timai: powers, responsibilities, spheres of influence • Attributes • Epithets 3) [Mythical narrative—optional] 4) Farewell/request You may want to look over the slides from 8.24.18 (specifically, the sections on attributes and epithets) and 9.21.18 (on elements of hymns) for more details. See also the examples of hymns on the following page. Lists of epithets and cult sites for the major deities are available on theoi.com but you should feel free to modify these and even invent your own! Projects will be graded on the following criteria: 1) Inclusion of the required formal elements (50%). You must include items 1, 2, and 4 from the list above and item 2 must include at least 3 of the possible elements bullet-pointed below. 2) Originality/creativity (50%). You will not receive full credit for simply re-writing a pre-existing hymn in more “contemporary” language! Below are some examples of “real” Homeric Hymns.
