INTRODUCTION IN !he Gulf of Guinea a dense mangrove swamp, shutting off from passing ships all view of the land, stretches for over a hundred miles along the coast. It is a dismal and forbidding prospect: the seemingly interminable belt of mangroves broken only by a succession of creeks and rivers, which in their turn are fringed by mangroves as far as the eye can reach. Some of these waterways are of considerable volume; in countries where nature works on a less gigantic scale, the Benin, the Bonny, the Nun, the Brass, the Forcados, would all rank as great rivers. For thousands of years this huge swamp kept jealous guard over a secret that had puzzled geographers since the time of Herodotus. The district had a bad reputation; not only was the climate almost fatal to Europeans, but the inhabitants within a short distance of the coast were among the most savage and bloodthirsty of negro races. In the old days the creeks and rivers had been the head-quarters of the slave trade; in later times, of the oil industry; and the negroes on the coast, wishing to keep the traffic in their own hands, had imbued the remoter tribes with a deep hatred of the white man. Within a few miles of the coast the whole country was practically closed to Europeans. 5 Introduction It was known that the Niger, one of the great rivers of the world, skirted the Sahara nearly a thousand miles to the north. But none knew for certain in what direction it flowed, east or west; whether it joined the Nile in the far east of Africa, or became lost in huge swamps in the desert; or again, whether it curved southward and reached the sea as the mighty Congo. Nobody seems to have guessed that the Niger was in fact the parent stream of the innumerable creeks and rivers that found an outlet through the mangrove swamps of the Guinea coast; the large volume of its waters becoming dissipated over some 14,000 square miles of deltaic swamp. It was to solve the puzzle of the Niger that Mungo Park, one of the first of the great African explorers, undertook his two great journeys into the interior of Africa. At that time almost the whole of the continent beyond a few score miles from the coast was unknown to Europeans,. Only here and there had white explorers ventured up the great rivers; the geography of the interior was mainly based on the accounts of native traders, inaccurate and untrustworthy. Mungo Park (named no doubt after St. Mungo, the patron saint of Glasgow) was born in 1771 at a farm on the banks of the Yarrow near Selkirk. His father intended him for the Church, but as a boy he showed a preference for medicine, and when the time came to decide he was allowed to make his own choice. At fifteen Mungo was accordingly apprenticed to a surgeon 6 Introduction in Selkirk, and three years later he went to Edinburgh to finish his medical studies and take his degree. Having qualified as a doctor, he bent his steps southward, and in London his brother-in-law, Mr. James Dickson, introduced him to the famous botanist, Sir Joseph Banks, who was destined to exercise a great influence upon his future career. Sir Joseph was instrumental in procuring for Park his first opportunity of foreign travel; for through his influence the young doctor was appointed Assistant Surgeon on an East Indiaman, and made the voyage to Sumatra. He used his time ashore to such good purpose, studying the botany and natural history of the country, that he was able on his return to contribute a valuable paper to the transactions of the Linnaean Society. At this time the African Association, a society formed for the exploration of the interior of the dark Continent, was looking for a successor to Major Houghton, who had lost his life while attempting to trace the course of the Niger and penetrate if possible to the city of Timbuctoo., Park's love of travel had no doubt been stimulated by his voyage to the East; through Sir Joseph Banks, an active member of the Association, he volunteered for the arduous and perilous mission, and his general record and attainments were such that, although he had no special geographical qualifications, his offer was promptly accepted. He sailed from Portsmouth in May 1795, and arrived at the Gambia a month later. A severe attack of fever delayed his departure for the interior until the following December, when he 7 Introduction left Pisania, a British settlement on the Gambia, and plunged into the wilds. It was not until eighteen months later that he reappeared, having in the meanwhile been given up for lost.

  • Qohelet's Philosophies of Death
    QOHELET’S PHILOSOPHIES OF DEATH This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University, 2009. I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ………………..................................... (Kathryn Imray) ABSTRACT This thesis arises at the meeting place of a philosophical and a thanatological treatment of the book of Qohelet. A philosophical treatment is defended on the grounds of previous studies of the type of thinking evidenced in the text, as well as a comparison with ancient notions of philosophy which suggest that philosophy concerns the type of questions asked, the method of answering the questions, the answers to the questions, and the purpose of the endeavour. A thanatological treatment is defended both on the grounds of previous studies of the text as well as on the grounds of clear evidence that the text is very concerned with the issue of death. From a philosophical perspective it is assumed the book says something about such themes as beauty, knowledge, states of being, ethics, and the benefits of a philosophical outlook. These philosophical categories are combined with the text’s thanatology. The thesis therefore presents: a death aesthetic, in which death can be beautiful; an epistemology of death, in which we are shown to possess certain knowledge of our own mortality in contrast to the lack of understanding we possess about the events of life; a phenomenology

In such a place the sea had something of the monotony of a blue-green dado: for the chambers themselves were ruled throughout by a terrible tidiness not unlike the terrible tidiness of the sea. It must not be supposed that Dr Hood's apartments excluded luxury, or even poetry. These things were there, in their place; but one felt that they were never allowed out of their place. Luxury was there: there stood upon a special table eight or ten boxes of the best cigars; but they were built upon a plan so that the strongest were always nearest the wall and the mildest nearest the window.

I was to go with him to the top of the tower of Old Saint Lawrence in Rot- terdam.

  • Wreaths of Time: Perceiving the Year in Early Modern Germany (1475-1650)
    Wreaths of Time: Perceiving the Year in Early Modern Germany (1475-1650) Nicole Marie Lyon October 12, 2015 Previous Degrees: Master of Arts Degree to be conferred: PhD University of Cincinnati Department of History Dr. Sigrun Haude ii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT “Wreaths of Time” broadly explores perceptions of the year’s time in Germany during the long sixteenth century (approx. 1475-1650), an era that experienced unprecedented change with regards to the way the year was measured, reckoned and understood. Many of these changes involved the transformation of older, medieval temporal norms and habits. The Gregorian calendar reforms which began in 1582 were a prime example of the changing practices and attitudes towards the year’s time, yet this event was preceded by numerous other shifts. The gradual turn towards astronomically-based divisions between the four seasons, for example, and the use of 1 January as the civil new year affected depictions and observations of the year throughout the sixteenth century. Relying on a variety of printed cultural historical sources— especially sermons, calendars, almanacs and treatises—“Wreaths of Time” maps out the historical development and legacy of the year as a perceived temporal concept during this period. In doing so, the project bears witness to the entangled nature of human time perception in general, and early modern perceptions of the year specifically. During this period, the year was commonly perceived through three main modes: the year of the civil calendar, the year of the Church, and the year of nature, with its astronomical, agricultural and astrological cycles. As distinct as these modes were, however, they were often discussed in richly corresponding ways by early modern authors.

By Frederich Schiller SCHILLER'S PREFACE. AS PREFIXED TO THE FIRST EDITION OF THE ROBBERS PUBLISHED IN 1781. Now first translated into English. This play is to be regarded merely as a dramatic narrative in which, for the purpose of tracing out the innermost workings of the soul, advantage has been taken of the dramatic method, without otherwise conforming to the stringent rules of theatrical composition, or seeking the dubious advantage of stage adaptation. It must be admitted as somewhat inconsistent that three very remarkable people, whose acts are dependent on perhaps a thousand contingencies, should be completely developed within three hours, considering that it would scarcely be possible, in the ordinary course of events, that three such remarkable people should, even in twenty-four hours, fully reveal their characters to the most penetrating inquirer. A greater amount of incident is here crowded together than it was possible for me to confine within the narrow limits prescribed by Aristotle and Batteux. It is, however, not so much the bulk of my play as its contents which banish it from the stage.
