JAMES First of England, and Sixth of Scotland, son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and Henry Stuart, Earl of Darnley, was the first English king of the Stuart rack. Soon after his accession a plot was formed by the Catholics for blowing up the parliamenthouse with gunpowder, at the opening of parliament, when the King, Lords, and Commons, together with the Queen, and Prince of Wales were assembled. This plot was discovered, and some of the conspirators died in endeavouring to defend themselves ; others were executed, and some par- �4 doned by the king* The fifth of November, the day on which the plot was discovered, is still observed as a holiday at the public offices. The nation, which had formed a high opinion of the king's sagacity, in the discovery of the gunpowderplot, soon changed its opinion in consequence of the folly which he displayed in giving himself up to the guidance of unworthy favorites, one of the first of whom was Robert Carr, Earl of Somerset, and afterwards George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham. The greatest stain upon the character of James, is his treatment of the celebrated Sir Walter Raleigh, who, after being many years confined upon a charge of conspiracy, was released to take the command of a voyage of discovery, which proving unsuccesful, he was on his return taken up and executed upon his old sentence. The king's prodigality having exhausted his exchequer, he was obliged to apply to parliament for supplies, when the Commons took occasion to make encroachments on the royal prerogative, which originated the struggle, that ended in the death of his successor. The king having engaged in war to assist his son-in-law, the Elector-palatine, who had taken up arms against the Emperor, expeditions were fitted out for Holland, and France, which proved unsuccessful. What effect James's misfortunes had upon his constitution is uncertain, but soon after the failure of these expeditions he was seized with a tertian ague, of which he died on the 27th of March, 1625, in the fifty-ninth year of his age, and twenty-second of his reign over England ; having reigned thirty-six years over Scotland previous to his accession to the English throne. Eminent men in this reign :—Villiers, Duke of Buckingham; Herbert, Earl of Pembroke; and Lord Chancellor Bacon. �§ CHARLES I. Succeeded his father, James I. Upon his accession he found himself engaged in a war for the defence of his brother-in-law, the Elector-palatine; but the subsidies granted by parliament not being sufficient to enable him to carry it on, and after attempting to raise money by unconstitutional methods, he called a new parliament. The new parliament not being more liberal in its grants than its predecessor, he had again recourse to unconstitutional methods of raising supplies. Buckingham, as great a favorite of Charles as he had been of his father, was sent with a fleet to relieve Rochelle, which completely failed; while at home, the disputes between the king and parliament became more violent. After the death of Buckingham, who fell by the hand of an assassin, the king made peace with France and Spain, and assisted by Lord Strafford and Archbishop Laud, made it apparent �6 that he intended to govern without a parliament, The national discontent increased, and as if tho discontent in England was not enough, Charles and his councillors attempted to introduce Episcopacy into Scotland ; when the Scots, rather than submit, had recourse to arms. For the purpose of obtaining supplies, after other methods had failed, ho held first one parliament, then another: the last was the celebrated Long Parliament. This parliament commenced measures which ended in tho execution of Lord Strafford, abolished certain obnoxious courts, deprived the crown of many of its prerogatives, and broke out into an open rupture with the king, success sometimes attending ono side, sometimes another, until the battle of Marston Moor, when the king's misfortunes commenced. Laud, who had been sent to the tower at the commencement of the war, was executed, and Episcopacy abolished. Charles, after the battle of Naseby, gave himself up to the Scottish army, which some time before had joined the Parliamentarians, and was by them delivered into the hands of his enemies. After being confined in different places, and attempting to make his escape from Hampton Court, he was at last brought to London, where he was tried and condemned. He was executed on the thirtieth of January, 1649, in the forty-ninth year of his age, and twenty-fourth of his reign. The person of Charles was of the middle size, robust, and well made ; with a pleasing, though melancholy countenance, which might be occasioned by the misfortunes he had suffered. Eminent men in this reign:—Earl of Strafford; Archbishop Laud; John Hampden; Earl of Falkland; Lord Edward Herbert of Cherbury, �XIIE COMMONWEALTH.—OLIVER CROMWELL, After the death of Charles L, his son Charles being invited by the Scots to become their king, Oliver Cromwell went with an army into Scotland, where he entirely defeated the Scots army, Charles with another army having entered England, was again overcome by Cromwell at Worcester; Charles with difficulty escaping into France. Cromwell, having abolished the Long Parliament, was at length elevated to the supreme power by the title of Lord Protector. He was distinguished for the ability with which he conducted affairs both at home and abroad. He retained the supreme power until his death, and was succeeded by his son Richard, who in a short time resigned ; the nation by this time being prepared for the return of Charles II. Eminent men during the Commonwealth :—Admiral Blake ; Generals Fairfax and Mcnk ; Sir H. Vane; John Milton. �8 CHARLES II. Born 1030. Pled Feb. 6, 1QS5, Began to Keign May 29, 1CG0. Reigned 24.| Years, Soon after his coming to the throne, an act of indemnity was passed, from which those who had an immediate hand in the death of the late king were excepted. He also, contrary to the advice of his wisest councillors, married Catharine, Infanta of Portugal, his motive being to secure the dowry of this princess: the expences attending his profligate pleasures rendering this necessary. It was probably from the same motive that he declared war against the Dutch, which after being carried on with great fury for several years, was put a stop to by the treaty of Breda. Having got rid of Chancellor Clarendon, he took for his advisers a set of men known by the designation of the Cabal. The measures of the king and his advisers produced great discontent in the country ; which the plague in London in 1665, and the great fire in the suq» �9 ceeding year tended to increase : tlie people ascribe ing the latter to the papists. The nation was long agitated with the proceeding about the popish plot, as it was called, which was followed by others through the whole course of this reign. Party spirit ran high toward the conclusion of this reign. Fitzharris, a noted manufacturer of libels, was imprisoned by the king, whilst his cause was espoused by the Commons; and a dispute took place between the Lords and Commons regarding the manner in which he should be tried. The king, taking advantage of their disputes, dissolved the parliament, without ever intending to call another; and by this unexpected measure put an end to parliamentary commotions. He oppressed the Presbyterians and others opposed to the government, and gave the places, of such of them as had places, to the friends of high prerogative. He also deprived the city of London of its charter, which was only restored upon the most abject submission. Fitzharris, formerly mentioned, and others were put to death. Whilst the power of the crown had become irresistible, and many saw no other means of safety but submission, there was a party still resolved to make a vigorous attempt for the restoration of freedom. Amongst the most eminent of these were Lord Russell and Algernon Sydney, who were taken up as being concerned in a pretended plot, and after a mock trial, executed. But just when Charles had established as despotic a government as any in Europe, he was seized with a sudden illness, and died in the fifty-fifth year of his age, and twenty-fifth of his reign. Eminent men in this reign :—Ilyde, Earl of Clarendon ; Villiers, Duke of Buckingham ; Algernon Sydney; Lord Russell; Wilmot, Earl of Rochester; John Dryden. �JAMES II, Abdicated the throne Jan. 22, 1689. Reigned 4 Years. Succeeded his brother, Charles II., and immediately began to. take steps for reconciling his kingdom to the Church of Rome. The Duke of Monmouth, a natural son of the late king, who had retired to Holland on account of his connexion with one of the plots of last reign, landed in England, and claimed the throne ; but being unsuccessful, was takeii and executed, and his followers treated with unheard of cruelties. After this James proceeded openly with his designs for establishing popery ; the people became discontented, the army deserted him, seven of the bishops were tried for opposing some of his measures, and were acquitted, and the Prince of Orange haying landed, he was forced to abdicate the throne, and leave the kingdom. He retired to France, where he died in 1700. Eminent men in this reignDuke of Monmouth; Judge Jeffries; Sayille, Marquis ofHalifax; John Locke. �11 WILLIAM III. Died March 8, 1702. Reigned 13 Years* After the abdication of James, it was agreed that William, Prince of Orange, nephew and son-in-law of James, who landed in England on the fifth of November, 1688, and Mary, his wife, should reign jointly; the administration of government being placed in the hands of the prince. At the beginning of his reign, William, who was averse to religious persecution, made an attempt to alter the laws regarding uniformity of worship. Although he did not succeed to the extent of his wishes, yet a toleration was granted to dissenters on certain conditions. Whilst he was thus engaged, James, the abdicated monarch, whose authority was still extensively acknowledged in Ireland, landed in that kingdom on the twenty-second of May, 1690, where he found Tyrconnell, the lord lieutenant, and an army amounting to nearly forty thousand men, de- �12 voted to his interest. As soon as the season admitted, he besieged Londonderry; the besieged enduring great hardships, from which they were at last relieved, by a store-ship breaking the boom laid across the river to hinder a supply. The army of James after this abandoned the siege, having lost about nine thousand men. William, having gone to head the protestant army, the rival kings met at the river Boyne: the two armies being inflamed with religious animosity and hatred. William immediately upon his arrival narrowly escaped bei&g killed by a shot from a cannon privately .planted against him by the enemy, which killed several of his attendants, and slightly wounded himself. Early next morning, William's army forced a passage over the river, and the battle commenced with great vigour, After an obstinate resistance, the Irish fled, followed by their French and Swiss auxiliaries. This victory was almost decisive, although the death of the Duke of Schomberg was severely felt by the protestant party. After one or two more stands, William succeeded in reducing Ireland, and James returned to France, where he died in 1700. William, after endeavouring to preserve as much as he could of the royal prerogative, gave up the contest, and was for the most part of his reign engaged in carrying on war with France, which was terminated by the treaty of Ryswick in 1697. William died on the eighth of March, 1702, in consequence of a fall from hfs horse, in the fifty-second year of his age, and thirteenth of his reign: Mary, his consort, died some years before him. Eminent men in this reign.:—Duke of Schomberg; Montague, Earl of Halifax; Lord Somers; Archbishop Tillotson; Bishop Burnet; "Sir Isaac Newton. �ANNE, Born 1664. Died Aug. 1, im. Began ift Reign March 8, 1702. Reigned 12i Years. Second daughter of James II., and wife of George, Prince of Denmark, now ascended the throne, to the satisfaction of ail parties. Anne declared war with France, in which she was followed by the Dutch. The Duke of Marlborough was made general of the English forces, and generalissimo of the allied army, and became a very formidable enemy of France. A series of splendid victories were achieved by the allies, of which the chief was that of Blenhiem. For this victory, one of the greatest ever won by England, the Duke of Marlborough was rewarded by the gift of a large estate and splendid mansion. Another conquest which has ultimately turned out of much more importance to England, was the taking of Gibraltar by Sir Cloudsley Shovel and Sir George Rook. Philip IV., grandson of Louis XIY, being placed upon the throne of Spain, notwithstanding a treaty formerly entered into by the powers of Europe, by which Charles, �u son of the Emperor of Germany, had been appointed to succeed, an English army under the command of the Earl of Peterborough was sent to support Charles, and was at first successful; but Peterborough being recalled, the English were completely defeated, and Philip firmly established on the throne.* An event of great importance took place in 1707; this was the union between England and Scotland, which, although long governed by the same sovereign, until now had remained separate kingdoms. The Whigs, to which party the Duke of Marlborough belonged, and who had been in office from the commencement of this reign, had for some time been on the decline, and soon after the Union were succeeded by their rivals the Tories: their downfall was principally occasioned by the queen's dislike to them. Anne, who was led by her favourites, had long been influenced by the Duchess of Marlborough, but she was succeeded by another favourite, who used her influence on behalf of tho Tories. This triumph was accelerated by certain proceedings against Sacheverell, a clergyman, and defender of high prerogative opinions, and who had become very popular. The Duke of Marlborough was recalled in the midst of brilliant success, and a peace concluded with France. But whilst the Whigs were attacking the Tories, and the Tories were divided amongst themselves, the queen's constitution gave way, and she died on the first of August, 1714; after having reigned more than twelve years over a people that had now risen to a high degree of refinement and opulence. Eminent men in this reign ; Churchill, Duke of Marlborough; St. John, Lord, Bolingbroke; Sir William Temple; Ilarley, Earl of Oxford ; Jonathan Swift. �15 GEORGE Born 1660. Died June 11, 1727. Began to Reign August 1, 1714. Reigned 12| Years. Anne was succeeded by George, Elector of Hanover, son of the Princess Sophia, grand-daughter of James I. Immediately after liis succession the Whigs were restored to power, and proceedings set afoot against some of the leading members of the late administration : Lord Oxford the chief of them was set at liberty, whilst some of the others went into exile. The Pretender, son of James II., landed in Scotland in 1715, after some attempts were made in his favour; but seeing no prospect of success, soon after returned to France. The king in 1727, being desirous of visiting his electoral dominions, set out for the continent, and tiport his landing in Holland, stopt at a little village called Yoet, and in two days more arrived at Delden, where he was taken ill, and died in the sixtyeighth year of his age, and thirteenth of his reign. Eminent men in this reign:—Sir William Winclham; Sir Robert Walpole : Bishop Atterbury. �16 GEORGE II. Succeeded his father, George I. After the commencement of this reign, great complaints were made by the nation of cruelties committed by the Spaniards, but the war with which the country was threatened was for some time averted, by a treaty concluded at Vienna. An interval of peace succeeded for some years, but was at length broken by war with Spain ; when Porto-Bello was taken by Admiral Vernon. Commodore Anson was also sent out with a squadron to annoy the Spaniards in the South Seas, and after the loss of great part of his squadron, succeeded in capturing a rich Spanish treasure ship; and returned at the end of three years, having circumnavigated the globe. An expedition was also sent out against Carthagena, which terminated disastrously. The Emperor dying in 1740, the French caused the Elector of Bavaria to be crowned emperor, thus setting aside the claims �17 of the Queen of Hungary, daughter of the late emperor, George espoused her cause, and an English and Hanoverian army was sent into the Netherlands, of which he took the command, and gained the battle of Dettingen ; but his son, the Duke of Cumberland, was unsuccessful at Fonteuoy. In 1745, Charles, son of the old Pretender, landed jn Scotland, for the purpose of making an attempt to gain the crown of his ancestors. After proclaim* ing his father king at Perth and Edinburgh, and defeating Sir J, Cope at Prestonpans, he marched into England, to within a hundred miles of the metropolis. He then returned into Scotland, and overcame General Bawley at Falkirk, but was at last defeated by the Duke of Cumberland at Culloden, and after suffering gre:t hardships, made his escape into France ; and some of his adherents being taken, suffered death as traitors. The war was put an end to by the treaty of Aix-la-chapelle, This treaty was little more than a temporary truce, as war was soon revived with the French, for the possession of Canada. This war at its commencement was unsuccessful, but the celebrated William Pitt, afterwards Earl of Chatham, being placed at the head of affairs, under his auspices Quebec was taken by the gallant Wolfe, who died in the hour of victorythis led to the possession of Canada, &c» The country after this was plunged into a contir nental war; and while victory was attending its arms by sea and land, the king was suddenly taken ill, and died on the twenty-fifth of October, 1760, in the seventy-seventh year of his age, and thirty* third of his reign, Eminent men in this reign .-—Admiral Hawke; General "Wolfe j William Pitt, Earl of Chatham; Lord Hardwiek; lienry PeU ham; Pope; Thomson ; Young, �18 GEORGE III,, Reigned 59 Years. Son of Frederick, Prince of Wales, succeeded his grandfather, George II, The Earl of Bute in a short time was placed at the head of the administration ; and although the war continued to he successfully carried on, it was terminated by an unpo* pular peace in 1763, and was succeeded by a time of popular discontent. The disputes with our American colonies, which had commenced before this, still continued, and the first blood was shed at Lexington on the nineteenth of April, 1775. The contest now seemed inevitable; preparations were made by the Americans on every hand, whilst reinforcements were sent to the army from Britain, An engagement took place at Bunker's hill, and although the Americans were worsted, both sides suffered severely, George Washington was elected general of the American army, and Congress, which had assembled some time before, published a de« �19 claration o i independence on the fourth of July, 1776. The Americans were unsuccessful in the south, but in the north, General Burgoyne surrendered to General Gates at Saratoga, who after this was enabled to send reinforcements to Washington in fthe south, which made him more than a match for his opponents. France after this acknowledged the independence of the United States, and was followed by Spain and Holland. In 1780 some serious riots took place in London, in consequence of the repeal of certain penal laws against the Roman Catholics^ when after destroying Romish chapels, burning the prisons, &c., the rp<ob were dispersed after a great many of .their numbers were killed and wounded. In America Lord Cornwallis was attacked by the armies of France and America at York-town, and forced to surrender. The French navy was almost entirely destroyed by Rodney's victory over Count de Grasse, in the West Indies. At home, Lord North, not being supported by parliament, resigned ; and after other ministerial changes, the independence of the United States was acknowledged, and peace concluded in 1783, After this, the celebrated Williaifi Pitt, second son of William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, came into office. In 1788 the king was seized with a serious ilkiess, which unfitted him, for the duties of government; and after some warm debates about a regency, he unexpectedly recovered, After this; one of the most importajit events recorded in history took place; that is the French Revolution, to attempt to give any account of which would far exceed our limits ; suffice it to say, that it produced a war in which Great Britain took a prominent part. The French, who had put their king and his queen to death, and established a �20 republic, were generally successful by land ; the British, on the other hand, being victorious at sea, iintil peace was concluded at Amiens in 1802. After a rebellion had been suppressed, a legislative union took place between Great Britain and Ireland, which commenced January first, 1800. Before the peace, Napoleon Bonaparte had risen to eminence in France, and was now at the head of the government, by the title of first consul. The peace was of very short continuance, as war broke out again in 1803. Bonaparte commenced the war with great vigour and soon succeeded in shutting out Britain from the continent, after having assumed the title of emperor. The naval triumphs of Britain were now consummated by the victory of Trafalgar, which was dearly won, as Lord Nelson lost his life. After being victorious over the Austrians at Austerlitz, and the Prussians at Jena, Napoleon had arrived at the highest pinnacle of power ; but he was soon destined to meet with great reverses. In 1810 the king was attacked by that malady from which he formerly suffered ; and the Prince of Wales was placed at the head of government, with the title of Prince Regent, It was under the regency that Napoleon, after suffering great reverses in Spain and Russia, was compelled to abdicate his throne, and after an attempt to regain it, was finally overcome by the allied army, commanded by the Duke of Wellington, at Waterloo. George III. died at Windsor on the twenty-ninth of January, 1820, in the eighty-second year of his age: his son, the Duke of' Kent, died on the twenty-third of the same month. Eminent men in this rtign :—Duke of Bedford ; Duke of folk ; William Pitt; Charles Fox; Edmund Burke. �21 GEORGE IV. Having been several years in posssession of sovereign power, his accession to the throne produced no political change of importance. He married, in 1795, his cousin, Caroline of Brunswick; but a separation soon took place, and a secret investigation into her conduct, some years afterwards, terminated in acquittal. After this, she quitted England, and spent her time mostly in travelling. On the king's accession to the throne, some evidence collected by a commission which had sat at Milan, was made a pretext for omitting her name in the Liturgy, and thereby refusing her the honour due to her rank. Having determined to return to England, she arrived in London on the very day that a message was sent to both houses of parliament, demanding that her conduct should ba made the subject of investigation. A bill of pains and penalties was introduced into the Lords, and the �22 trial lasted forty .five days ; but on tlie third reading of the bill, ministers having a very small majority, abandoned it. Whilst these proceedings continued, the public mind was greatly agitated, and continued so during the remainder of the life of that unfortunate lady. The coronation of the king took place in August, 1821, when the queen's claim to participate in that ceremony being rejected, she presented herself at the doors of Westminster Abbey, and was refused admittance ; when the cerenlony went on without interruption. Her death soon followed this event. Immediately after his coronation, his majesty visited Dublin, where he met with a most loyal welcome. Shortly after his return, he visited his Hanoverian dominions, and after a short stay returned to England. After the termination of the session of parliament in 1822, he visited Edinburgh, where he was received by all classes of his Scottish subjects, with the greatest enthusiasm. Nothing of sufficient importance occurred abroad to be noticed in this summary. The Duke of York, heir presumptive to the throne, died January fifth, 1827, sincerely lamented by the army, of which he had long been commander-in-chief, and had deservedly acquired the appellation of "the soldiers'friend." After this, the domestic event of greatest importance that took place, was the Roman Catholic* emancipation act, which removed certain disabilities under which they laboured; the bill having received the royal assent on the thirteenth of April, 1829. George IY. died at Windsor Castle on the twenty-fifth of June, 1830, having reigned ten years; but previous to his father's death, he held supreme power for about ten years, under the title of Prince Regent, �23 WILLIAM IV. Succeeded his brother George, to the general satisfaction of all classes of his subjects. During his whole reign of nearly seven years, the nation enjoyed tranquillity both at home and abroad. The most inportant event of this reign, indeed, the most important political occurrence since the revolution, was the passing of the reform bill in 1832. William for some time continued his brother's ministers in office ; but the demand for a reform in the representation of the people, which had long been made, could no longer be resisted, and the premier, the Duke of Wellington, having declared himself opposed to any measure of reform, the Whigs, with Earl Grey, at their head, were called to office, and immediately introduced the reform bill, which, after a hard contest, they succeeded in carrying. William died on the twentieth of January, 1837 ; having reigned nearly seven years �VICTORIA, 1819. Reign Jan. 20, 1839. Only daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent, succeeded her uncle, William IV, On her accession, all parties and classes of her subjects united in testifying their affection for their youthful sovereign. Her majesty was married February 10th, 1840, to Prince Albert, second son of Ernest, Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha; and has issue, Victoria Adelaide Maria Louisa, Princess Royal, born November 21st, 1840 ; Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, born November 9th, 1841; Princess Alice Maud Mary, born April 25th, 1843; Prince Alfred Ernest Albert, born August 6th, 1844. • Long live the Queen. May her reign be prosperous. The number of eminent men who have flourished in the last three reigns, has been so great, and their names so well known, that we have declined making a choice, and thereforehave omitted them altogether. � Document A resource containing textual data.

Once upon a time there lived a king and queen who had no children, which made them very unhappy indeed. Hoping, by some means or other, to have an heir, they went to consult all the fairies they could hear o f ; vows, pilgrimages, every thing was tried, but without success. A t length, however, news was proclaimed that the queen was going to have a child, and soon after she was brought to bed of a princess. The christening was the most sumptuous imaginable; and seven fairies, being all that could be found in the country,were appointed to be her godmothers, so that each of them might bestow upon her a gift, as was the. custom in those days; B y these means the princess had every possible perfection. When the ceremonies of the. baptism were over, all the company returned to the king's palace, where the most costly entertainment was prepared for the fairies ; before each of them was set a magnificent cover, with a case of massy gold, which contained a knife, a fork, and a spoon, set with diamonds and .rubies, and all of the most curious workmanship. As the company were going to place themselves at the table, an old fairy, who for more than fifty years had not left the tower she inhabited, and was believed to be either dead or enchanted, and on that account had not been invited to the christening, entered the room. The king immediately ordered a seat to be brought for her, and also a cover ; but it could not be of massy gold, because only seven had been made, being one each for the seven fairies. The old fairy, seeing that her cover was not more �4 than half so magnificent as those of her sister-fairies, thought that the king had slighted her, and muttered between her teeth that she would be revenged. One of the young fairies who sat next her, and caught the sounds that fell from her, fearing that she might bestow on the infant princess some unlucky gift, on leaving the table, went and bid herself behind the window-curtains, so that she might speak last, and thus repair as much as possible the injury intended by the old fairy. In the meantime, the fairies began to make their donations to the young princess. The first gave her for a gift, that she should be the most beautiful lady in all the world,—the next that she should have the wit of an angel,—the third, that she should do every thing she undertook with the most enchanting grace,—the fourth, that she should dance so as to delight every beholder,— the fifth, that she should sing like a nightingale,—the sixth, that she should play perfectly well on all sorts of musical instruments. It being the old fairy's turn to speak next, she came forward shaking with spite, and said,—"The gift I bestow on the princess shall be, that she shall pierce her hand with a spindle, and die of the wound." This terrible gift made the whole assembly tremble, and every one but the old fairy fell to crying violently. Just at this instant, the young fairy came out from behind the window curtains, and in a distinct voice pro- �5 pronounced the following w o r d s : — D o not, O king a n d queen, thus deeply afflict yourselves ; the princess shall not die of the wound ; for though I have not the power wholly to prevent what an older fairy than I has decreed, I can, however, make her gift prove less injurious to the princess ; accordingly, your daughter shall pierce her hand with a spindle ; but instead of dying of the wound, she shall only fall into a deep sleep, which shall continue for one hundred years, at the end of which time she shall be awakened by a young prince." The king, thinking to avoid so terrible a misfortune, had it everywhere proclaimed, that no person, on pain of death, should spin with a spindle, or even keep one in their house. About sixteen years after this, the king and queen being at one of their palaces in the country, it happened that the young princess was one day running from room to room to amuse herself; she at length found her way to a small apartment at the top of a tower, in which an old woman sat spinning with a spindle (for the poor old creature had never heard of the proclamation that had been made against spindles.) " W h a t are you doing, Goody?" said the princess; " I am spinning, my pretty lady," replied the old woman, who did not know to whom she was speaking. " Ah ! how I should like to do such pretty w o r k ! " continued the princess,—" Pray let me try." She had no sooner taken the spindle in her hand than, being very sprightly �6 and thoughtless, she ran the point of it into her hand, and instantly fell down in a sound sleep. The old woman being greatly frightened, and at a loss what to do, called out for help. Several persons immediately ran to her assistance; they threw cold water on the princess's face, cut the lace of her stays, rubbed her hands and temples with Hungary water,—-but all to no purpose, for she remained fast asleep. In the meanwhile the king had heard the news, and hastened to the old woman's apartment; but, recollecting the gift that had been made her, he very properly resolved to bear the misfortune with patience, since he could not overcome the will of a fairy. Accordingly the king ordered her to be carried to the most sumptuous �7 ous apartment in the palace, and laid on a Led made of the richest velvet, and ornamented with gold and silver. The princess, in this situation, appeared so beautiful that she might have been taken for an angel, for the deep sleep into which she had fallen did not the least injury to her fine complexion; her cheeks still resembled the most delicate roses, and her lips the finest coral ever seen; the only difference being, that her eyes, which sparkled like diamonds, were now covered by the lids. She breathed so softly, that they were quite sure she was not dead; and the king commanded that no one should attempt to disturb her repose. The kind fairy who had saved her life by thus condemning her to sleep a hundred years, was in the kingdom of Matakin, at a distance of twelve thousand leagues, when the accident happened to the princess; the news of it, however, was carried to her in a short time, by a dwarf who was her friend, and who used his seven leagued boots for the purpose ; that is, boots with which he could stride over seven leagues of ground at once. The fairy immediately set off, and in less than an hour, descended in a fiery chariot, drawn by dragons, in the outer-yard of the palace. The king hastened to welcome and assist her in getting out of the chariot, and then related what had happened. The fairy approved of all the king had done ; but having a great deal of foresight, she remarked to him, that the princess, on awaking, would be extremely ter- �8 terrified to find herself alone in so old and gloomy a palace. After thinking a few minutes what could possibly be done to remedy this inconvenience, she soon hit upon an expedient; she touched all the persons in the palace, except the king and queen, with her wand; maids of honour, governesses, waiting-women, gentlemen ushers, grooms of the bed-chamber, lords in waiting, stewards, cooks, scullions, guards, pages, and footmen, were all thrown into a sleep as sound as that of the princess. She touched also with her wand all the horses in the stables, all the grooms, all the dogs in the stable-yard, and even little Bichon, the princess's favourite lap-dog, who lay on the bed by her side : all fell fast asleep, till the time should arrive for the princess to awake, when they would be ready at a moment's warning to wait upon her. Even the very spits, and the partridges and pheasants that were roasting on them, together with the fire, were all laid asleep; and all this was concluded in a moment—for fairies are never long in performing their feats. The king and queen, after embracing their daughter tenderly, without awaking her, left the palace; and made a proclamation, that no one, on pain of death, should dare approach her. The king might, however, have saved himself this trouble: for in a quarter of an hour there sprang up round the palace a vast number of trees of all sorts and sizes, bushes and brambles, all twining one in the other, that neither man nor beast �9 could have made a passage through them. Indeed, nothing hut the turrets of the palace were to be seen above the thick wood formed by the trees, and even these only at a great distance. The fairy in this, no doubt, employed the whole skill of her art, to preserve the princess, during her long sleep, from the observation of the curious. At the end of the hundred years, the son of a reigning king, who was of a different family from that of the sleeping princess, happened to pass near the palace as he was hunting, and asked his attendants to whom the turrets and the wood belonged. They each answered him agreeably to what he had heard of the place. Some of them said, it was an old castle that was haunted by ghosts; others, that all the witches in the country assembled in it to hold their nightly meetings ; but the most common opinion was that it was inhabited by an ogre, who retired within its walls to devour all the children he ran away with, where he could eat them without fear of pursuit, since no one but himself could get through the wood; when an old peasant approached him and said,— " May it please your royal highness, I was told more than fifty years ago, by my father, who heard it from my grandfather, that there was concealed in this palace a princess of most exquisite beauty, who was condemned by a fairy to sleep a hundred years, and was then to be awakened by the son of a king, who was to be her husband." �10 The young prince listened eagerly to this discourse, and thought he must be the prince intended by the fairy to awake her; and, hurried on by gallantry and love, he resolved on entering the palace. Scarcely had he reached the wood, before the trees, the bushes, and the brambles, separated of themselves to let him pass. He proceeded towards the palace, which he perceived at the end of a long avenue, and soon entered it. But what did not a little surprise him was, that none of his attendants had been able to follow him ; for the trees, bushes, and brambles, again entwined with each other as soon as he had passed through them. Notwithstanding this, he pursued his way to the palace ; for a young prince in love is always valiant. He entered a spacious court, where every thing he saw might have terrified the stoutest heart in the world. All the men and animals that had been laid asleep were stretched on the ground, and appeared as if they were dead, and there was a dreadful silence through all the palace. After a little time, however, he perceived, by the red faces of the men-servants, that they were only asleep ; and as there was still some beer left in the bottom of their cups, he saw plainly that they had fallen asleep while drinking. The prince next went through a large court paved with marble, which led to a staircase: this he ascended, and came to the chamber of the guards, who were all standing in ranks with their muskets on their shoulders, �11 and snoring with all their might. He continued his way through several other apartments, which were filled with ladies and gentlemen, some sitting, some standing, but all fast asleep. A t length he came to an apartment gilded all over with gold, in which was a magnificent bed, with the curtains drawn back, and a young lady about sixteen years of ago, more beautiful than any one he had ever seen. After gazing upon her With the greatest delight for a few minutes, he could not help falling upon his knees to her as if she had been awake. The enchantment of the fairy being thus ended, the princess opened her eyes, and casting them on the prince with a look of more tenderness than is common at first sight,—-"Is it you, my prince?" said she; " H o w long you have made me wait for y o u ! " The prince, delighted at these words, and still more at the sweet tone of voice in which she pronounced them, was at a loss how to express his gratitude and. joy. He assured her that he loved her better than he did himself; and this, with many other expressions of the same kind, he repeated a thousand and a thousand times. The princess on her part was by no means backward; for, though history mentions no such thing, yet we may very well suppose that her good friend the fairy caused her during her long sleep to have the most agreeable dreams. In short, they talked for more than four hours together, without saying half of what they wished. �12 " W h a t happiness, beautiful princess!" said the prince, looking at her with the greatest tenderness imaginable,—"what happiness, to be able to do you such a service, to see you smile so sweetly, and to bo thus rewarded by your love !—to think that the most powerful prince upon the earth could not have performed what I have done, in breaking the cruel enchantment that condemned you to sleep so long!" " Ah ! dear prince," replied she, " I feel that we were made for each other. It was you I saw ; it was you who were my companion ; and during my long sleep I thought of no one but you. I knew very well that he that should end my enchantment would be the handsomest of men, that he would love me more than himself, and the moment I cast my eyes upon you I knew you perfectly." �13 In the meanwhile all the attendants who had been asleep the same time as the princess, were awaked, and had set about their business ; but as they were not, like the princess, in love, they found themselves extremely hungry, for it was very long since they had eaten any thing. The first maid of honour, who was as sharp set as the rest, even ventured to tell the princess, without any ceremony, that the dinner was served. The prince then assisted the princess to rise. She was ready dressed, and in the most magnificent clothes imaginable ; but he took great care not to tell her that they were like those of his great-grandmother, and that she had a ruff round her neck, which, however, did not in the least diminish her beauty. He took her hand, and conducted her to the room in which the dinner was served ; as soon as they had seated themselves at table, the musicians, who were in readiness with their instruments, began to play some airs, which, though they were out of fashion, were nevertheless extremely agreeable. The prince and princess passed the evening delighted with each other's company, and as a long courtship was not necessary, they agreed to be married that very night. The lord almoner was consulted, and he consented to perform the ceremony, provided the chapel could be got ready (for it was very dusty, and full of cobwebs.) There were plenty of hands willing to be employed on �14 such an occasion, so that the chapel was soon swept, the crimson velvet hangings neatly brushed, and the books nicely dusted. When all was ready, my lord almoner led the way in his canonical robes, with his mitre on his head, and preceded by half a dozen servants in the richest liveries that can be imagined, bearing each a lighted torch,— then followed six beautiful boys in white surplices, with censers in their hands, perfuming the air with the most aromatic sweets,—after them followed the prince and princess, hand in hand ; they walked in silence, but the delight which sparkled in their eyes showed how well pleased they were,—next followed the maids of honour, the gentlemen and ladies of the bed-chamber, the lords in waiting, and in short the whole court. They were all magnificently dressed, but, as you may suppose, their clothes were rather old-fashioned. So soon as the ceremony was performed, they returned to a magnificent banquet where the company enjoyed themselves to a very late hour. The next morning, the prince reflected that he had been guilty of a very groat fault in marrying without having previously asked the consent of his parents; he was in great perplexity how he should get over this reprehensible act of disobedience, and at last concluded that he would say nothing about it, until a favourable opportunity offered ; not but what he could readily have obtained the pardon of the king his father, who was a very good and benevolent man, but the queen his mother was descended from the race of cannibal giants called Ogres ; and though some generations had passed, she still retained their horrid inclinations, and had all the difficulty in the world, when she saw little children pass to refrain from falling on them, and eating them up. The prince, therefore, resolved not to say one word at home of his marriage, and took the opportunity, under pretence of hunting, to visit his beautiful princess three or four times a-week. Ho lived in this way some years, and had in that time two children ; the eldest of which, who was a daughter, was named MORNING, and the youngest, who was a son, they called DAY, because he was much handsomer and more beautiful than his sister. �15 The queen suspecting that those frequent huntings, at all seasons, was only a pretence to colour some other engagements, had the prince watched, and found that he always left his party when he came to the wood, and retired into i t ; she therefore resolved, the very first opportunity she had, to unriddle the mystery. An opportunity soon offered—for the emperor Cantalabutte having declared war against the king, the prince was appointed generalissimo, and went at the head of the army to defend the kingdom against this powerful adversary. The queen, as soon as the prince was departed, lost no time in going to the wood, entered it,-—and soon arrived at the castle, and, pretending to be much fatigued, asked leave to rest herself, which the young princess not only readily granted, but ordered refreshments to be set before her. The queen made herself known, and the princess, in the height of her surprise, could not help exclaiming,—" What! the mother of my prince, of my adored husband ? " An explanation soon ensued. The queen then asked to see the children, which were brought to her. Their beautiful white skins and tender years made the Ogreish queen's mouth to water and eyes to twinkle, and it was with much ado she refrained from giving them a bite, when she took them up to kiss them. The queen soon after took her leave, promising the princess that she would procure her pardon of the king, and come in a few days and take her from that old ruinous castle, as she was pleased to style it, and introduce her at court. But it was far from the intentions of this wicked cannibal to mention the affair to the king, who certainly would have protected the princess and his grand-children : what she said was only a stratagem to get them into her power. In a few days the queen came again in a close carriage, saying that the king wished to receive his daughter-in-law and grandchildren in a private manner, previous to introducing them at court. The princess readily entered the carriage with her children ; and the queen, instead of carrying her to the court, brought her to a little country-house she had, situated in a deep glen, entirely surrounded with woods �16 and rocks. Here the queen resolved to gratify her horrible longings. She was, however, obliged to defer this pleasure for a few days, because her cook was not yet arrived, nor had she prepared the sauce which she usually had at these delicious feasts. In about a week the queen made another excursion to her country-house, taking with her the sauce and the cook. Having paid her respects to the princess, and kissed the children, she called the cook aside, and said to him,—" I have a mind to eat little MORNING for my dinner to-morrow!" " A h ! madam," cried the cook, "pray consider the pretty creature is your grand-daughter." " I will have it so," replied the queen in an angry tone, " fail not at your peril; and let her be well seasoned, and with plenty of my favourite sauce." poor man, knowing very well that he must not play tricks with Ogresses, took his great knife, and went up into little MORNING'S chamber very early the next day, intending to kill her before breakfast; but the pretty little girl, who, thinking that he had brought her some sugar-candy, ran up to him, jumping and laughing, and caught him round the neck. This so affected the poor man that he could not refrain from tears ; so, instead of killing her, he carried her to a little room he had at the bottom of the garden, and killed a little lamb, and dressed it so excellently, that his mistress assured him she had never eaten any thing so good in her life. As soon as the wicked queen returned home in the evening, the cook carried little MORNING to the castle in the wood, which had been abandoned by its inhabitants after the princess had left it, and brought his wife and servant to attend her. About eight days afterwards, the queen paid them another visit, and told the cook that she would eat little DAY. He returned no answer, being resolved to cheat her as he had done before; so, after hiding little DAY, he killed a young kid, which he cooked so very nicely, that the Ogress was quite delighted with it. When the queen was gone, he also conducted little DAY to his wife in the old castle. This was hitherto all well: on her next visit, this wicked queen said to him,-—"I will eat the young princess with the same The �17 sauce I had with her children. It was now that the poor cook despaired of being able to deceive her; and, to save his own life, he resolved to kill the princess. In order to execute his purpose, he put himself into a great passion, and rushed into her chamber with a dagger drawn ; but, on seeing the princess, he respectfully told her the orders he had received from the wicked queen, — " Come, do it, do i t ! " said she, "and then I will go to my poor children whom I love so dearly." " No, no, madam," cried the poor cook, all in tears, " you shall not die; and you shall see your children again; only conceal yourself until the queen is gone, and I will take you to them." The princess was overjoyed at this unexpected news, and promised to keep herself very close. The cook then went and dressed in her stead a young hind, which the queen had for her supper, and devoured it with the same appetite as if it had been the young princess. Delighted with her cruelty, she then invented a story to deceive her son ; and, as she returned home, she caused it to be noised about that the wood in which the castle was situated was infested by a banditti, who murdered and destroyed every one that came in their way. In the meantime, the cook, so soon as the queen was departed, carried the princess to her children. The transports of this amiable mother, and the caresses of her affectionate children, were without bounds; but, alas! their troubles were not yet at an end. The queen, soon after her arrival at home, found that a peace was nearly concluded, and expecting her son, found, in order to deceive him, she had no time to lose ; she therefore took the soldiers and entered the castle to see that all was as she left it. On her approach she heard the sound of voices, and then bursts of laughter; she crept softly to an open window, and peeping in, saw the princess, her two children, the cook and his wife, playing at blind-man's-buff, while the maid-servant was looking on and laughing. She uttered such a terrible yell that it struck horror to their hearts; they instantly stopped their merriment, and instinctively turned their eyes to the window, when they encountered the furious looks and imp-like gestures of the Ogress queen. She �18 then called for her guards with an enraged voice, who, supposing she was surrounded by the banditti, ran to her assistance in haste. She commanded them instantly to strip and bind the princess, her two children, the cook, his wife, and their maid. She then ordered the large brewing copper to be filled with oil, and a fire to be lighted under it, intending, as soon as it boiled, to put them all in, as the most cruel death she could devise. While the oil was heating, she exulted over her unfortunate victims, every now and then pricking them with pins, and enjoying the pain it put them to. The oil was now on the point of boiling, and the poor creatures expected in a few minutes that they should be plunged into it. The queen approached the copper in order to try if the oil was sufficiently heated for her diabolical purpose, when the princess took the opportunity of kneeling down with her children to implore the divine mercy. At this awful moment, a sudden cry of " Make way! make w a y ! " was heard ; when instantly, on a horse all covered with foam, entered the prince; he was struck with astonishment at seeing his amiable wife and lovely children in this situation. The queen, overcome with rage, disappointment, and shame, instantly threw herself headlong into the boiling oil, which she had intended for her victims, and died in great agonies. prince could not but be very sorry, for she was his mother, although an Ogress. He, however, comforted himself in the reflection that he had so opportunely saved his dear wife and children. He now resolved to take his family to court, where they arrived the next day. The king received them very affectionately, and being much hurt at the ill conduct of the deceased queen, and, convinced of his son's ability to govern, by the able manner that he negotiated the peace, he resigned his crown to him, and retired to a palace he had in the country. The prince and princess, now king and queen, lived long and happy, and were succeeded by little DAY, who became a great king, and who took care, by the example of his father, not to marry without the consent of his parents. The �CHARLES AND JOHN, AND THE LITTLE DOG WORTHY. THIS story is about two little boys, who were nearly of the same age: the name of the one was Charles, and that of the other John. If Charles did any thing that was wrong he always told his parents of it; and, when asked about any thing he had said or done, he was sure to tell the truth ; so that this good boy was beloved by every body ; but all who knew his brother John would not believe a word he said, he was in the practice of telling so many lies. When he was guilty of any thing that was wrong, he did not do as his brother did (for he never told his parents the truth;) and, on being questioned about it, he would deny ever having done the things of which he was accused. It was for fear of being punished for his faults that John always told so many lies, and would never confess of what he had been guilty. great coward, and could never bear the least pain ; but his brother Charles was a courageous boy, and could bear punishment for his little faults. He was never punished so much by his parents for the little faults he committed, as his brother John was for the lies he told when they were found out. These two little boys were playing together one evening in a room by themselves; their mother was engaged in an adjoining room, and their father was not in the house, so there was no person in the room but Charles and John together; but only Worthy, a little dog, which was lying by the side of the fire. This little dog, Worthy, was a nice playful creature, and both the boys were very fond of him. " S e e ! " said John to Charles, "Worthy is lying beside the fire there, asleep ; let us rouse him, and we shall get him to play with us." Besides, he was a �20 " With all my heart," said Charles; and both the boys ran to the fireside to awaken the little dog. Now there was standing upon the hearth a basin of milk, and, as they did not observe it, (for it was placed behind them,) they began to make rare fun in playing with the dog ; but unfortunately they kicked over the basin with their feet, and broke it, and the whole milk ran over the hearth and all around on the floor. Now, when the little boys saw what had happened, they were very much alarmed, and sorry for what they had done ; but not knowing what to do, they for some time stood staring at the mishap they had occasioned, without speaking one word. At last John spoke, " Alas !" said he, " we shall have no milk for supper tonight !" and he gave a deep sigh. " No milk for supper to-night!—for what reason ? " replied Charles. " Is there no more milk in the house?" " Yes, but we shall have none of i t ; for don't you remember that mamma, the last time we spilled the milk, said, should the like happen in our hands again, we should have none for supper that night?" " I f that is the case," said Charles, " w e must go without it, that's all; there is no great harm in wanting milk for once. In the meantime let us tell mamma what has happened ; so come away, John." " Well, so I will; but where's all the hurry; can't you stop a little ? " Charles did so; but still John pleaded for delay, saying, " He was so afraid he could not go." Children, both boys and girls, I advise you never to seek for excuses of this kind; never say, " Stop a minute, or stop a little," for reparations of faults cannot be made too soon. Well, hear what happened to John :—The longer he lingered the more unwilling he felt to accompany his brother Charles ; at last he pulled his hand away from him, positively refusing to acknowledge his share in the spilling of the milk, saying, " That his brother might go himself, for he should not." " S o I shall," said Charles; "and I only waited for you that I might put you in humour—thinking you would like to tell mamma the truth in this matter." �21 " The truth!" replied John, " I don't wish to deny it; but it is time enough when one is asked ; mamma will see the milk when she comes here." Charles waited no longer, but set off himself in search of his mother, whom he expected to find in the next room ironing; but as she was not there he ran off to the garden, under the notion that he should find her there. John being now left alone, began to cast about how he should get himself out of the scrape. " If we were both," thought he, " to say that we were not concerned in spilling the milk, mother would be sure to believe us, and there would be no more of the matter." While he was contriving these excuses, he heard his mother coming up the stair—"Oh, o h ! " said he, " s o mamma has not been in the garden after all, and Charles has not seen her; now I may say what I please." So this cowardly sneaking boy resolved to tell his mamma a downright falsehood Of course, when she entered the room, her eye immediately caught the broken dish and the spilled milk. " Pray, John," said she, " what has been the cause of this ?" " I don't know, ma'am," said John. "You don't know ?—I think you do know; and if such is the case, you had better at once tell the truth—you know how often I have cautioned you against telling fibs. The worst is, should you have spilled the milk, that you will lose a part of your supper; but rather than tell a lie I would sooner you had broken fifty basins; so I ask you again,—John, did you spill the milk?" " No, ma'am," again repeated John, in a low tone of voice, while he coloured up to the ears. " Then where's Charles? did he do i t ? " " N o , " said John, " h e did n o t ; " for he had some thoughts that when Charles appeared, he would be persuaded to back him in his naughty falsehood. " A n d how do you know," rejoined his mother, "that Charles did not do it ? " " W h y , mamma—because—because," and here John �22 stammered and hesitated so, that his guilt was quite evident— " because I was in the room all the time, and did not see him do it." Being farther questioned, John went on from one lie to another; at last he said he supposed the dog did it. " Did you see Worthy do it ?" " Yes," said this wicked boy. " F i e , fie, W o r t h y ! " said John's mother, " s o it is you that is in the fault! I must really chastise you." She then ordered John to get her a switch. John ran to the garden to get a switch, and on his way met Charles returning, to whom he told what had happened, begging him not to expose him, but to say what he had done. " N o , I sha'n't tell a lie," said Charles, " a n d have poor Worthy beat into the bargain. I shall tell mamma the whole truth." They ran into the house, John striving to prevent Charles from telling his mother. John threw in the switch, and, being somewhat stronger, he kept Charles back. In the meantime the switch was just about to fall on poor Worthy's back, when Charles, who had made his way round by the window, called out to her to stop. He then told the story just as it happened. A t the same moment John's father came in sight, and being told what had happened, he snatched up the switch, for what purpose John easily foresaw; so, falling on his knees, he besought him for mercy, crying out he should never again be guilty of telling lies. " B u t I shall whip you now," said his father, " a n d we shall see how you keep your word for the future." So John was whipt, till he roared out so that the whole neighbourhood heard him. " There now," said his father, is the reward of disobedience and wickedness—you have got a sound whipping , and you shall besides go to your bed supperless. See how liars are served!" Then, turning to Charles, he said, " Charles, as for you, I shall keep my word so far as to deprive you of milk to-night; that for once is easily borne ; but as a compensation, and to mark my satisfaction with your behaviour, I make you a present of Worthy; he will be to you a kind and affectionate �23 servant, and it will be your part to use him well. Henceforward he shall be called Charles! and, wife, whenever you are asked by any of the neighbouring children why Worthy's name is changed to Charles, tell them the story of the two boys : they will then see how differently it fares between a liar and a boy who tells the truth." SOLEMN P R O H I B I T I O N Ross, Mr.Walter writer to the signet, Edinburgh, by way of protecting his property from midnight marauders, published the following handbill " Thou shalt not steal! All persons whom it may concern are desired to take notice that steel traps, of the largest size, for catching breakers of the eighth commandment, are every night placed in the garden of St. Bernard's between Stockbridge and the Water of Leith, on the north side of the water; that spring-guns are set to rake the walls with shot upon the touch of a wire, and that a tent, having in it an armed watchman, is pitched in the middle, with orders to fire without mercy. If, therefore, any evil-disposed person or persons shall attempt to break into the grounds of St. Bernard's, their blood be upon their own heads !-—Amen." This seemed very well for some time ; but, at length, a suspicion arose that the arrangements were all of a fictitious nature, and the boys and blackguards of the city began to pick up their scattered courage. On learning that such was the state of matters, Mr. Ross adopted the strangest expedient that could perhaps have entered the head of a country gentleman. He procured a limb of a corpse from the Royal Infirmary, dressed it in a stocking, shoe and buckle, and sent it through the streets of the city with the public crier, proclaiming that it had been found last night in the grounds at St. Bernard's, and that it would be restored to the owner on being properly vouched. The garden of St. Bernard's was no more broken. �� https://scottishchapbooks.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/0b06f4143fed6e21e9ddf018f32281f8.jpg 8695557e500264717e9861dc06b2fde2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Part of a series of fairy tales printed by the booksellers. The first tale presented tells the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty with a few twists, including the continuation of the story after the Prince rescues the Sleeping Beauty. In this version, the Prince marries the Princess without informing his parents first, and he keeps their marriage as a secret for many years, even after the birth of a son and daughter. The Prince’s mother, descended from Ogres, finds out about the hidden family and resolves to eat all of them. The cook pities the poor family and tricks the Queen into eating a lamb, a kid, and a hind instead. When the Queen discovers the deception, she flies into a fury and is about to boil them all in oil when she is stopped by the timely arrival of the Prince, whereupon she throws herself into the oil instead. This tale is followed by the story of, “Charles and John, and the Little Dog Worthy,” which is a moral tale about two boys and the just punishment for little boys who tell falsehoods. In the end of the tale, the dog, Worthy, is renamed “Charles!” in honour of the boy who chose to tell the truth. Following this tale is a short anecdotal account of a solicitor in Edinburgh who, attempting to protect his property from thieves, published a fictitious handbill proclaiming an elaborate but fictitious series of deadly defenses protecting the property. When thieves grew bold again, the gentleman procured a limb of a corpse from the Royal Infirmary to be paraded around the streets of Edinburgh in search of its “owner.” Language A language of the resource English Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource JPEGs and PDF derived from master file, which was scanned from the original book in 24-bit color at 600 dpi in TIFF format using an Epson Expression 10000XL scanner.

The first is a humorous song in which an old woman harries a young man into marrying her daughter after he impregnates her, to which he agrees in exchange for her naming him as her heir. The second song humorously portrays the woes of married life for the husband, focusing for the most part on the tendency of wives to spend their husbands’ money. The third song uses tobacco and pipe smoking as an allegory for the spiritual and bodily journey of men through life, not necessarily encouragingly. The following song criticizes young men as fickle deluders of young women, and cautions others to guard their virginity well, while the final song describes the woes of a scorned lover.

GLASGOW: ? PRINTED FOR THE BOOKSELLERS. 3 �JEMMY AND NANCY OF YARMOUTH. Lovers, I pray, lend an ear to my story, Take an example by this constant pair; How love a young woman did blast in her glory— Beautiful Nancy of Yarmouth, we hear. She was a merchant s only daugnter, Heir unto fifteen hundred a year ; A young man who courted her call'd her his jewel, The son of a gentleman who lived near. Many long years the fair maid he admir'd, When they were infants in love they agreed: And when at age this young couple arriv'd, Cupid an arrow between them display'd. Their tender hearts were linked together— But when her parents the same they did hear, They to their charming young beautiful daughter Acted a part that was hard and severe. Daughter they said give o'er your proceeding; If that against our consent you do wed, For evermore we resolve to disown you, If you wed with one that is so mean bred. Her mother said, You have a great fortune, Besides you are beautiful, charming, and young, You are a match, dear child, that is fitting For any lord that is in Christendom. Then did reply the young beautiful virgin, Riches and honour I both do defy, If that I am denied of my dearest lover, Then farewell world! which is all vanity. �3 fj Then said her father, 'Tis m j resolution, Although I have no more daughters but thee, Jf that with him you resolve for to marry, Banish'd for ever from me thou shalt be. Well, cruel father, but this I desire, Grant me that Jemmy once more I may see, Though you do us part, I still will be loyal. For none in the world I admire but he. I j n u II l For the young man he sent in a passion, Saying, For ever, sir, now take your leave ; I have a match more fit for my daughter, Therefore it is but a folly to grieve. Honoured father, then said the young lady, Promis'd we are by the powers above ; Why of all comforts will you bereave me, Our love is fix'd never to be remov'd. Then said her father, A trip to the ocean, You first shall go in a ship of my own, And I'll consent you shall have my daughter, When to Yarmouth again you return. Honoured sir, then said the two lovers, Since 'tis your will we are bound to obey, Our constant hearts can never be parted, But our eager desires no longer can stay. Then said kind Nancy, Behold, dearest Jemmy, Here take this ring, the pledge of our vows, And with it my heart, keep it safe in your bosom, Carry it with you wherever you go. Then in his arms he close did enfold her, While crystal tears like a fountain did flow ; �4 Crying, My heart in return I do give you, And you shall be present wherever I go. When on the ocean, my dear, I am sailing, The thoughts of my jewel the compass shall steer These tedious long days time soon will devour, And bring me home again safe to my dear. Therefore be constant, my dear lovely jewel, For by the Heavens ! if you are untrue, My troubled ghost shall torment you for ey.qj, Dead or alive I will have none but you. Her lovely arms round his neck then she twined, And saying, My dear when you are on the seas. If the fates unto us should prove cruel, That we each other no more ever see ; No man alive shall ever enjoy me— Soon as the tidings of death reach my ear, Then like a poor unfortunate lover, Down to the grave I will go with my dear. Then with a sorrowful sigh lie departed, The wind next morning blew a pleasant gale ; All things being ready, the fam'd Mary Gailey Then for Barbadoes she straightway set sail. Jemmy was floating upon the wide ocean, And her cruel parents were plotting the while, How that the heart of their beautiful daughter, With cursed gold should strive tp beguile. Many a lord of fame, birth, and breeding, Came to court this young beautiful maid ; But their rich presents and proffers she slighted, Constant I'll be to my jewel, she said. �5 Young Jemmy was comely in every feature, A Barbadoes Lady whose fortune was great, So fix'd her eyes that she cried, If I have not This brave English sailor I die for his sake. She dressed herself in gallant attire, With costly diamonds she plaited her hair, And a hundred slaves well dressed to attend her, She sent for this young man to come to her. Come nobis sailor, she cried, can you fancy A lady whose riches are very great hundred slaves you shall have to attend you; And music to charm you in your silent sleep. .In robes of gold, my dear, I will deck you, Pearls and rich jewels I'll lay at your feet, In a chariot of gold you shall ride for your pleasure, If you can fancy me answer me straight. Amazed with wonder a while he stood gazing, Forbear noble lady, at length, he replied, In flourishing England I've vow'd to a lady, At my return for to make her my bride. She is a charming young beautiful creaturp, She has my heart and I can love no more; I bear in my eye her sweet lovely feature, No other creature in earth I'll adore. Hearing of this, she did rave in distraction, Crying, Unfortunate niaid thus to love, One that does basely slight all my glory, And of my person he will not- approve. Lords of renown I their favours have slighted, Now I must dje.for a sailor so bold: �G I must not blame him because he is constant, True love I know is far better than gold. A costly jewel she instantly gave him, Then in her trembling hand took a knife, One fatal stroke before they could save her, Quickly did put an end to her life. Great lamentation was made for this lady— Jemmy on board the ship he did steer ; And then to England he homeward came sailing With a longing desire to meet with his dear. But when her father found he was returning, A letter he wrote to the boatswain his friend, Saying a handsome reward 1 will give you, If you the life of young Jemmy will end. Void of all grace and for sake of the money, The cruel boatswain the same did complete, As they on the deck were lovingly walking, He suddenly tumbled him into the deep. In dead of the night when all were asleep, His troubled ghost to his love did appear, Crying, Arise you beautiful Nancy, Perform the vow you made to your dear. She cried, Who is there under my window ? Surely it is the voice of my dear : Lifting her head off her downy pillow, Straight to the casement she then did repair. By light of the moon which brightly was shining, She espied her lover who to her did say, Your parents are sleeping, before they awaken, Stir my dear creature and straight come away. �7 Jemmy, she cried, if my father should hear thee, We sliall be ruin'd, pray therefore repair, At the sea-side I will instantly meet you, With my two maids I will come to thee there. Her night-gown embroider'd with gold and silver, Carelessly round her body she throws, With the two maidens v/ho did attend her, To meet her true love she instantly goes. Close in his arms the spirit did enfold her, Jemmy, she said, you are colder than clay ; Sure you can never be the man I admire, Paler than death you appear unto me. Yes, fair creature, I am your true lover, Dead or alive you know you are mine : I come for my vow, my dear, you must follow My body now to a cold watery tomb. I for your sake refus'd gold and silver, Beauty and riches for you I despis'd, A charming young lady for me did expire, For, thinking of you, I was deaf to her cries. Your cruel parents iiave been my undoing, And I do sleep in a watery tomb, Now for your promise, my dear, I am sueing, Dead or alive, love, you are my own. The trembling lady was sorely affrighted. Amazed she stood near the brink of the sea, With eyes lift to heaven she cried, Cruel parents, Heaven requite you for your cruelty. Indeed I promis'd, my dearest creature, Dead or alive I would be his own ; �8 Now to perform my solemn Y W I am ready, O And to follow him to his watery tomb. The maids they heai'd the sad lamentation, But the apparition indeed could not see; Thinking the lady was fallen into distraction, They strove to persuade her contented to be. ' H •.! • But still she cried, My dear I am coming, And in thy bosom I'll sooii fall asleep ; When she had spoke, this unfortunate lady Suddenly plung'd herself into the deep. But when to her father the maids told the,matter, He wrung his hands, crying, What have I done,? O h ! dearest child it was thy cruel father That did provide thee a watery tomb Two or three days then being expir'd, These two unfortunate lovers were seen, In each other's arni^^hey together were floating, By the side of a ship on the watery main. The cruel boatswain was stricken with horror, Straight did confess the sad deed he had done-— Shewing the letter that came from her father, Which was the cause of.these true lovers' doom. On board the ship he was tried for the murder, A t the yard's arm Was hang'd for the same, Her father he soon broke his heart for his daughter^ Before the ship into the harbour then came. The cursed gold has caused destruction, W h y should the rich covet after gain ? I hope this story it will be a warning;; That cruel parents may ne'er do the same. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The subject of this ballad is parental opposition to the lovers, Jemmy and Nancy. Returning to England from a forced voyage to Barbados, Jemmy is pushed overboard by a fellow crewman on instructions from Nancy’s father. His ghost appears to Nancy, who throws herself into the sea; the boatswain is hanged and the father dies of a broken heart. Despite his death of a broken heart, the father neither repents of his action nor recognizes his actions as sinful. Alternative Title An alternative name for the resource.
