While a member of a club at Philadelphia he always told a story about a man who had a chestnut farm, but made nothing out of it because he gave his chestnuts away. Abbey invariably began this story differently, so that his follow clubmen would not recognise it, but they soon interrupted him by exclaiming “Chestnuts!”</p> <p><strong>Chestnut Sunday.</strong> The first Sunday in June, when the chestnut-trees in Bushey Park at Hampton Court are in bloom.</p> <p><strong>Cheyne Walk.</strong> After Lord Cheyne, lord of the manor of Chelsea in the seventeenth century.</p> <p><strong>Chicago.</strong> Indian for “wild onion.”</p> <p><strong>Chichester.</strong> The Roman camp town taken by Cissa, King of the South Saxons, thenceforth called Cissanceaster.</p> <p><strong>Chichester Rents.</strong> The site of the town mansion of the Bishops of Chichester.</p> <p><strong>Chili.</strong> Peruvian for “land of snow.”</p> <p><strong>China.</strong> After Tsin, the founder of a great dynasty.

Menier of Paris, who died in 1881.</p> <p><strong>Choke Him off.</strong> The allusion is to grip a dog by the throat in order to make him relax his hold.</p> <p><strong>Christiania.</strong> Rebuilt by Christian IV. of Denmark.</p> <p><strong>Christian Scientists.</strong> A modern offshoot of the Peculiar People, or Faith Healers, who believe that sickness and pain can be cured by faith and prayer without medicine.</p> <p><strong>Christmas-box.</strong> A relic of Catholic days, when a box was placed in all the churches to receive Christmas alms for the poor.

In modern times many burghs or towns have been advanced to the dignity of a city on account of their commercial importance. These are, however, cities only in name.</p> <p><strong>City Fathers.</strong> Aldermen of the city of London.</p> <p><strong>City Golgotha.</strong> Old Temple Bar, from the heads of rebels spiked on its top. Golgotha is Hebrew for “the place of skulls.”</p> <p><strong>Claim.</strong> A squatter’s term for a piece of land which he has marked off and settled upon pending its legal acquisition from the Government.

In warfare the coat was dispensed with, but he was known to his comrades by another device on the crest of his helmet.</p> <p><strong>Cobbler.</strong> An American drink of spirits, beer, sugar, and spice, said to have been first concocted by a Western shoemaker.</p> <p><strong>Coblentz.</strong> From the Latin name, Confluentia, being situated at the confluence of the Rivers Rhine and Moselle.</p> <p><strong>Cockade.</strong> From the party badge originally displayed on a cocked hat.

The word was clearly derived from coquere, to cook, and had reference to London, where the conduits on occasion ran with wine, and good living fell to the lot of men generally.</p> <p><strong>Cock-penny.</strong> A penny levied by the master on each of the boys for allowing the brutal sport of cock-throwing in school on Shrove Tuesday formerly.

A “Bear Garden” is in our time synonymous with a place of resort for roughs or rowdies.</p> <p><strong>Bear State.</strong> Arkansas, from the Western description of the character of its people. “Does Arkansas abound with bears that it should be called the Bear State?” a Western man was once asked. “Yes, it does,” was the reply; “for I never knew a man from that state but he was a bar, and, in fact, the people are all barish to a degree.”</p> <p><strong>Bearward.</strong> The custodian of the bear at public and private bear-baiting gardens.

In Sweden weddings formerly took place under cover of night. Behind the high altar of the ancient church at Husaby, in Gothland, a collection of long lances, with sockets for torches, may yet be seen. These were served out to the groomsmen on such occasions, both for defence and illumination.

Their uniform was black, in token of mourning for the deceased Duke. Finding they could not bear against the power of France, they enlisted in the English service. Thus it came to pass that the Black Brunswickers fought at the Battle of Waterloo, where their gallant leader met his death. Afterwards they were heard of no more.</p> <p><strong>Black Bull.</strong> An inn sign derived from the heraldic device of the House of Clare.</p> <p><strong>Black Country.</strong> The name given to the great coalfield in the Midlands.

Many years ago a negress of powerful build and strength, named Maria Lee, kept a sailor’s lodging-house at Boston. Everyone dreaded her, and she so frequently assisted the police of that day to pin down a refractory prisoner before he could be manacled that “Send for Black Maria!” became quite a common exclamation among them. Hence the earliest vehicles for the conveyance of offenders against law and order, especially since they were painted black, were named after her.</p> <p><strong>Black Museum.</strong> The collection of criminal relics preserved at the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police at New Scotland Yard.</p> <p><strong>Black Prince.</strong> The sobriquet of Edward, Prince of Wales, son of Edward III., not because he wore black armour, as is generally supposed, but, according to Froissart, “by terror of his arms,” and again, Strutt, “for his martial deeds.”</p> <p><strong>Black Sea.</strong> From its many black rocks, which render navigation dangerous.</p> <p><strong>Blackwall.</strong> A corruption of Bleak Wall.</p> <p><strong>Black Watch.</strong> Soldiers first appointed to watch the Highlands of Scotland. They received the name from their black tartans.</p> <p><strong>Blandford Square.</strong> From Blandford, Dorsetshire, near Bryanstone, the seat of the great ground landlord, Viscount Portman.</p> <p><strong>Blankets.</strong> First made by the Brothers Blanket, of Bristol, in 1337.</p> <p><strong>Blarney.</strong> Suave speeches intended only to gain time. When Cormack Macarthy was besieged by the English in Blarney Castle in 1662 he concluded an armistice, with the object of surrendering after a few days; but instead of doing so he sent out soft, evasive speeches, until Lord Carew and his soldiers were forced to admit that they had been duped. Hence the expression: “None of your Blarney.”</p> <p><strong>Blenheim Oranges.</strong> First cultivated at Blenheim, the seat of the Duke of Marlborough.</p> <p><strong>Blenheim Street.</strong> In compliment to the Duke of Marlborough after the battle of Blenheim.</p> <p><strong>Blind Man’s Buff.</strong> So called because if any one of those taking part in the game allowed the blind man to buff up against him he had to be blindfolded in his place.</p> <p><strong>Blood.</strong> See “<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/files/54657/54657-h/54657-h.htm#PENNYBLOOD">Penny Blood</a>.”</p> <p><strong>Bloody.</strong> The addiction of the vulgar to the use of this adjective on all occasions has made it low and reprehensible. Anciently, however, it was employed in a most reverential sense, relative to the Blood of Christ--e.g. the “Bloody Sacrifice of the Mass.”</p> <p><strong>Bloody Assizes.</strong> Those held by Judge Jeffreys in 1685 for the punishment of all who had taken part in the Duke of Monmouth’s rebellion. Three hundred persons were executed, and more than a thousand transported to the plantations.</p> <p><strong>Bloody Butcher.</strong> The sobriquet of the Duke of Cumberland, son of George II., owing to his wholesale slaughter of the adherents of Prince Charles Stuart, the Young Pretender, after the battle of Culloden.</p> <p><strong>Bloody Eleventh.</strong> The 11th Foot, in memory of the terrible slaughter inflicted on this regiment at Salamanca.</p> <p><strong>Bloody Tower.</strong> Where the infant Princes were murdered at the order of their uncle, Richard, Duke of Glo’ster.</p> <p><strong>Bloomers.</strong> After Mrs Ann Bloomer of New York, who introduced the original nondescript style of “New Woman” in 1849.</p> <p><strong>Bloomsbury.</strong> A corruption of “Lomesbury,” the name of a manor house and grounds which stood on the site of the present square. “Lomesbury village” sprang up around the ancient church of St Giles’s in-the-Fields.</p> <p><strong>Bluchers.</strong> After Field-Marshal von Blucher, who affected this style of military half-boot.</p> <p><strong>Blue.</strong> An indecent story is said to be “blue” because harlots in the ancient Bridewell, and in more modern houses of correction or penitentiaries, were habited in blue gowns.</p> <p><strong>Blue Boar.</strong> An inn sign derived from the heraldic device of Richard III.</p> <p><strong>Blue Grass State.</strong> Kentucky, from the character of the orchard grass in this fertile limestone region.</p> <p><strong>Blue Hen’s Chickens.</strong> A nickname for the people of Delaware. The Delaware State Journal thus accounts for its origin: “At the beginning of the Revolutionary War there lived in Sussex county of that colony a gentleman of fortune named Caldwell, who was a sportsman, and breeder of fine horses and game-cocks. His favourite axiom was that the character of the progeny depends more on the mother than on the father, and that the finest game-cocks depended on the hen rather than on the cock. His observation led him to select a blue hen, and he never failed to hatch a good game-cock from a blue hen’s egg. Caldwell distinguished himself as an officer in the First Delaware Regiment for his daring spirit. The high state of its discipline was conceded to its exertions, so that when officers were sent on recruiting service it was said that they had gone home for more of Caldwell’s game-cocks; but as Caldwell insisted that no cock could be truly game unless its mother was a blue hen, the expression Blue Hen’s Chickens was substituted for game-cocks.”</p> <p><strong>Blue Law State.</strong> An old name for Connecticut, whose original settlers shared with the Puritans in the mother country a disgust of the licentiousness of the Court of the Restoration, and on this account were said to advocate “Blue” Laws.</p> <p><strong>Blue Noses.</strong> A nickname bestowed upon the Nova Scotians, from the species of potato which they produce and claim to be the best in the world.</p> <p><strong>Blue Peter.</strong> The flag hoisted at the mast head to give notice that a vessel is about to sail. Its name is a corruption of the French “Bleu Partir,” or blue departure signal.</p> <p><strong>Blue Pig.</strong> An inn sign, corrupted from the “Blue Boar.”</p> <p><strong>Blue Stocking.</strong> From the famous club of literary ladies formed by Mrs Montague in 1840, at which Benjamin Stillingfleet, who habitually wore blue stockings, was a regular visitor. Blue stockings, therefore, became the recognised badge of membership. There was, however, such a club of ladies and gentlemen at Venice as far back as 1400, called Della Calza, from the colour of stockings worn.</p> <p><strong>Blunderbuss.</strong> A corruption of the Dutch donderbus, “thunder tube.”</p> <p><strong>Board of Green Cloth.</strong> The steward of the Royal Household presides over this so called court, which has a green cover on its table.</p> <p><strong>Boar’s Head.</strong> The sign of the ancient tavern in Eastcheap immortalised by Shakespeare. This, like all others of the same name, was derived from the heraldic device of the Gordons, the earliest of whom slew a boar that had long been a terror of the forest.</p> <p><strong>Bob Apple.</strong> A very old boyish pastime. Standing on tiptoe, with their hands behind them, they tried to catch in their mouths an apple as it swung to and fro at the end of a piece of string suspended from the ceiling. A variant of the same game consisted in lying across a form and plunging their heads into a large tub of water, at the bottom of which was the apple.</p> <p><strong>Bobby.</strong> The nickname of a policeman, after Sir Robert Peel, to whom the introduction of the modern police system was due.</p> <p><strong>Bobs.</strong> The popular nickname of Lord Roberts during the South African War. He is also called “Lord Bobs.”</p> <p><strong>Boer.</strong> Expresses the Dutch for a farmer. Synonymous with the English “boor,” an uncultivated fellow, a tiller of the soil.</p> <p><strong>Bogtrotter.</strong> An Irishman, from the ease with which he makes his way across the native bogs, in a manner astonishing to a stranger.</p> <p><strong>Bogus.</strong> In reporting a trial at law The Boston Courier in 1857 gave the following authoritative origin:--“The word Bogus is a corruption of the name of one Borghese, a very corrupt individual, who twenty years ago or more did a tremendous business in the way of supplying the great west, and portions of the south-west, with counterfeit bills and bills on fictitious banks. The western people fell into the habit of shortening the name of Borghese to that of Bogus, and his bills, as well as all others of like character, were universally styled by them ‘bogus currency.’” So that the word is really American.</p> <p><strong>Bohea.</strong> Tea of the poorest quality, grown in the hilly district of Wu-i; pronounced by the Chinese Vooy.</p> <p><strong>Bohemia.</strong> From the Bohii, the ancient inhabitants of the country.</p> <p><strong>Bohemian.</strong> One who leads a hand-to-mouth existence by literary or other precarious pursuits, who shuns the ordinary conventions of society, and aspires to that only of his fellows. The term originally meant a “Gipsy,” because the earliest nomadic people who overran Western Europe did so by way of Bohemia.</p> <p><strong>Boiled Shirt.</strong> An Americanism, originally from the western states, for a starched white shirt.</p> <p><strong>Bolivia.</strong> After General Simon Bolivar, surnamed “The Liberator of Peru.”</p> <p><strong>Bologna.</strong> A settlement of the Boii, after whom the Romans called it Bononia.</p> <p><strong>Bomba.</strong> The sobriquet of Ferdinand, King of Naples, on account of his bombardment of Messina in 1848.</p> <p><strong>Bonanza State.</strong> Nevada, on account of its rich mines, styled Bonanza mines. Bonanza is Spanish for “prosperity.”</p> <p><strong>Bond Street</strong> (Old and New).

Compared with a modern machine it was anything but easy riding.</p> <p><strong>Boniface.</strong> The popular name for an innkeeper--not that St Boniface was the patron saint of drawers and tapsters, but because one of the Popes of this name instituted what was called “St Boniface’s Cup,” by granting an indulgence to all who toasted his health, or that of his successors, immediately after saying grace at meals.</p> <p><strong>Booking Office.</strong> In the old coaching days passengers had to book their seats for a stage journey several days in advance at an office in the innyard whence the coaches set out. When railways came in the name was retained, though no “booking” was ever in evidence. Nearly all the old coaching innyards have been converted into railway goods and parcels receiving depots.</p> <p><strong>Bookmaker.</strong> From the way in which he adjusts his clients’ bets, so that, ordinarily, he cannot lose on the issue of a day’s racing.</p> <p><strong>Boot-jack.</strong> A wooden contrivance by which the wearer could help himself to take off his high-legged boots without the aid of a servant. Hence it was called a jack, which is the generic term for a man-servant or boy.</p> <p><strong>Border Eagle State.</strong> Mississippi, on account of the Border Eagle in the arms of the state.</p> <p><strong>Bore.</strong> This name was first applied by the “Macaronies” to any person who disapproved of foppishness or dandyism. Nowadays it implies one whose conversation is uninteresting, and whose society becomes repugnant.</p> <p><strong>Borneo.</strong> A European application of the Sanskrit boorni, land.</p> <p><strong>Born in the Purple.</strong> Since purple was the Imperial colour of the Cæsars and the Emperors of the East, the sons of the reigning monarch were said to be born in it. This expression had a literal truth, for the bed furniture was draped with purple.</p> <p><strong>Born with a Silver Spoon in his Mouth.</strong> In allusion to the silver apostle spoon formerly presented to an infant by its godfather at baptism. In the case of a child born lucky or rich such a gift of worldly goods was anticipated at the moment of entering life.</p> <p><strong>Borough.</strong> The Burgh or town which arose on the south side of Old London Bridge, long before the City of London became closely packed with streets and houses.</p> <p><strong>Borough English.</strong> A Saxon custom, whereby the youngest son of a burgher inherited everything from his father, instead of the eldest, as among the Normans.</p> <p><strong>Bosh.</strong> See “<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/files/54657/54657-h/54657-h.htm#ALLBOSH">All Bosh</a>.”</p> <p><strong>Bosphorus.</strong> From the Greek bos-porus, cow strait, agreeably to the fable that Io, transformed into a white cow, swam across it.</p> <p><strong>Boss.</strong> A term derived from the Dutch settlers of New York, in whose language baas (pronounced like the a in all), expressed an overseer or master.</p> <p><strong>Boston.</strong> Short for St Botolph’s Town. “The stump” of the church is seen from afar across the Boston Deeps.</p> <p><strong>Botany Bay.</strong> So called by Captain Cook on account of the variety of, to him, new plants found on its shores. This portion of New South Wales was the first British Convict Settlement; hence Botany Bay became a term synonymous with penal servitude.</p> <p><strong>Botolph Lane.</strong> From the church of St Botolph, situated in it.</p> <p><strong>Bottle of Hay.</strong> A corruption of “bundle of hay,” from the French botte, a bundle, of which the word bottle expresses the diminutive.</p> <p><strong>Bottom Dollar.</strong> An Americanism for one’s last coin.</p> <p><strong>Bovril.</strong> An adaptation of bovis, ox, and vril, strength--the latter being a word coined by Lord Lytton in “The Coming Race.”</p> <p><strong>Bow.</strong> From the ancient stone bridge over the Lea, which was the first ever built in this country on a bow or arch.</p> <p><strong>Bow Church.</strong> Properly the church of St Mary-le-Bow, Cheapside, the first in this country to be built on bows or arches.</p> <p><strong>Bowdlerise.</strong> In the year 1818 Thomas Bowdler brought out an expurgated edition of Shakespeare’s Plays; hence a “Bowdlerised Edition” of any work is one of which the original text has been unwarrantably tampered with.</p> <p><strong>Bowie Knife.</strong> After Colonel Jim Bowie, a famous fighter of the western states, who first armed himself with this weapon.</p> <p><strong>Bow Street.</strong> From its arc shape when first laid out.</p> <p><strong>Bow Street Runners.</strong> Primitive detectives sent out from their headquarters in Bow Street in highwayman days.</p> <p><strong>Bowyer Tower.</strong> Anciently the residence of the Tower bowyer or bowmaker.

A spirituous distillation from wine.</p> <p><strong>Brazenose College.</strong> The brazen nose on the college gate notwithstanding, this name was derived from the fact that here stood an ancient brasenhuis, or “brew-house.” Oxford has always been famous for the excellent quality of its beer.</p> <p><strong>Bravo.</strong> In Italy one who is always boasting of his courage and prowess; generally a hired assassin.</p> <p><strong>Brazil.</strong> From braza, the name given by the Portuguese to the red dye-wood of the country.</p> <p><strong>Bread Street.</strong> Where the bakers had their stalls in connection with the Old Chepe, or market.</p> <p><strong>Break Bread.</strong> To accept hospitality.

With extraordinary luck this may be done on occasion; but the winner’s triumph is short-lived since, the capital of the bank being unlimited, if he continues to play after fresh stores of gold have been produced, he must lose in the end.</p> <p><strong>Brecon.</strong> See “<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/files/54657/54657-h/54657-h.htm#BRECKNOCK">Brecknock</a>.”</p> <p><strong>Brecknock.</strong> The capital (also called Brecon) of one of the shires of Wales, originally Breckineauc, after Brychan, a famous Welsh prince.

Their way lay across a broken bridge, very dangerous after nightfall. “Thank goodness, it’s your bridge to-morrow night!” they were wont to exclaim on parting. This gave the name to the game itself.</p> <p><strong>Bridge of Sighs.</strong> The bridge forming a covered gallery over the Canal at Venice between the State prisons on the one hand and the palace of the Doges on the other.

While singing an antiphon the boys caught the ball thrown by the Dean as they danced around him. At private dancing parties the dancers always threw a ball at one another as, to the sound of their own voices, they whirled around in sets, the pastime consisting in loosening hands in time to catch it. Afterwards the ball was discarded, but the dance time received the name of a Ballad, from the Latin ballare, to dance.</p>\n<p><strong>Ballad.</strong> See “<a href=\"http://www.gutenberg.org/files/54657/54657-h/54657-h.htm#BALL\">Ball</a>.”</p>\n<p><strong>Ballet.</strong> Expresses the French diminutive of bal, a dance.

A “Bear Garden” is in our time synonymous with a place of resort for roughs or rowdies.</p>\n<p><strong>Bear State.</strong> Arkansas, from the Western description of the character of its people. “Does Arkansas abound with bears that it should be called the Bear State?” a Western man was once asked. “Yes, it does,” was the reply; “for I never knew a man from that state but he was a bar, and, in fact, the people are all barish to a degree.”</p>\n<p><strong>Bearward.</strong> The custodian of the bear at public and private bear-baiting gardens.

It takes its name from Bernard de Menthon, a wealthy Savoyard, who in 962 established this house of refuge for the pilgrims crossing the Alps on their way to the Holy Land. The monks who serve the Hospice are Augustinians.</p>\n<p><strong>Bernardines.</strong> The monastic Order founded by St Bernard in 1115.</p>\n<p><strong>Berne.</strong> From the German Bären, which expresses the plural for bear. The figure of a bear is conspicuous on the public buildings, fountains, etc.</p>\n<p><strong>Berners Street.</strong> After Lady Berners, the original owner of the land hereabouts.</p>\n<p><strong>Best Man at a Wedding.</strong> A survival of feudal times, when the particular friends of the “Bridegroom” undertook to frustrate the designs of a rival sworn to carry off the bride before the nuptials could take place. In Sweden weddings formerly took place under cover of night. Behind the high altar of the ancient church at Husaby, in Gothland, a collection of long lances, with sockets for torches, may yet be seen. These were served out to the groomsmen on such occasions, both for defence and illumination. These groomsmen were the bravest and best who could be found to volunteer their services.</p>\n<p><strong>Bethlehem.</strong> Hebrew for “house of bread.” Hence Bethlehem Hospital, the original name for a lazar or poor house.</p>\n<p><strong>Bethnal Green.</strong> Anciently Bednal Green, but corrupted from the family name of the Bathons, who resided here, temp. Edward I.</p>\n<p><strong>Bevis Marks.</strong> Properly Bury’s Marks, from the posts to define the limits of the ground belonging to the town house of the Abbots of Bury.</p>\n<p><strong>Bideford Postman.</strong> The sobriquet of Edward Capern, the poet, who was a letter-carrier at Bideford in Devon.</p>\n<p><strong>Big Ben.</strong> After Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., M.P., one of the designers of the New Houses of Parliament, and Chief Commissioner of Works.</p>\n<p><strong>Big Bend State.</strong> Tennessee, which name expresses the Indian for “river of the great bend.”</p>\n<p><strong>Bilbo.</strong> The old name for a Spanish sword blade made at Bilboa.</p>\n<p><strong>Bilboes.</strong> The irons with which mutinous sailors are manacled together. From Bilboa, Spain, their place of origin.</p>\n<p><strong>Bilker.</strong> A corruption of Balker, one who balks or outwits another. In our day one hears mostly of the “Cab bilker”; formerly the “Tavern bilker” was an equally reprehensible character.</p>\n<p><strong>Billingsgate.</strong> After Belin, a Saxon lord, who had a residence beside the old Roman water-gate on the north bank of the Thames.</p>\n<p><strong>Billiter Street.</strong> A corruption of Belzettar, the name of the first builder on the land hereabouts.</p>\n<p><strong>Billycock.</strong> The slang term for a “bowler” hat always worn by William Coke at the Holkham shooting parties.</p>\n<p><strong>Bingham’s Dandies.</strong> One of the nicknames of the 17th Lancers, after their Colonel and their smart uniforms.</p>\n<p><strong>Bioscope.</strong> Moving or living pictures thrown on a screen, so called from the Greek bios, life, and skopein, to view.</p>\n<p><strong>Birchin Lane.</strong> Properly Birchover Lane, after the name of the builder.</p>\n<p><strong>Birdcage Walk.</strong> From the Royal Aviary of the Restoration, located along the south wall of St James’s Park.</p>\n<p><strong>Bird of Passage.</strong> A hotel phrase applied to a guest who arrives at stated seasons.</p>\n<p><strong>Bird’s Eye Tobacco.</strong> So called from the oval shape of the stalks when cut up with the leaf.</p>\n<p><strong>Birkbeck Institute.</strong> The premier Mechanics’ Institute, established by Dr Birkbeck in 1824.</p>\n<p><strong>Birmingham.</strong> Called Bremenium by the Romans and Birmingeham in Domesday Book. This being so, it cannot be corrupted from “Broom-place town,” as some authors say.</p>\n<p><strong>Birrell.</strong> To write, speak, or do anything after the manner of Mr Augustine Birrell, M.P., President of the Board of Education.</p>\n<p><strong>Birrelligion.</strong> A word coined by Dr Casterelli, Roman Catholic Bishop of Salford, who, speaking on Mr Birrell’s New Education Bill, said it was not one exactly of irreligion, but of Birrelligion, acceptable to no party or denomination.</p>\n<p><strong>Bishopsgate Street.</strong> From the ancient city gate rebuilt by Bishop Irkenwald, the son of King Offa, and repaired by Bishop William in the time of the Conqueror.</p>\n<p><strong>Biz.</strong> Theatrical slang for “business” or stage by-play.</p>\n<p><strong>Black Brunswickers.</strong> A celebrated regiment of seven hundred volunteers raised in Bohemia in 1809 by Frederick William, Duke of Brunswick, who took up arms against Napoleon because the latter had obstructed his succession to his father’s dukedom. Their uniform was black, in token of mourning for the deceased Duke. Finding they could not bear against the power of France, they enlisted in the English service. Thus it came to pass that the Black Brunswickers fought at the Battle of Waterloo, where their gallant leader met his death. Afterwards they were heard of no more.</p>\n<p><strong>Black Bull.</strong> An inn sign derived from the heraldic device of the House of Clare.</p>\n<p><strong>Black Country.</strong> The name given to the great coalfield in the Midlands. It extends from Birmingham to Wolverhampton on one side and from Lyle Waste to West Bromwich on the other.</p>\n<p><strong>Black Friars.</strong> The Order of the Dominicans, so called from their habits. In the district of Blackfriars stood the great monastery.</p>\n<p><strong>Blackguards.</strong> A derisive nickname given originally to the scullions of the Royal Household, touching their grimy appearance, as contrasted with the spruceness of the Guards of Honour.</p>\n<p><strong>Blackheath.</strong> A corruption of Bleak Heath.</p>\n<p><strong>Blackleg.</strong> After sporting men of a low type, who invariably wore black gaiters or top-boots.</p>\n<p><strong>Blackmail.</strong> Originally a tax or tribute paid to robbers or freebooters as a compromise for protection. “Black” implied the Gaelic for security, while mal was Anglo-Saxon for tribute.</p>\n<p><strong>Black Maria.</strong> Slang for a prison van. Many years ago a negress of powerful build and strength, named Maria Lee, kept a sailor’s lodging-house at Boston. Everyone dreaded her, and she so frequently assisted the police of that day to pin down a refractory prisoner before he could be manacled that “Send for Black Maria!” became quite a common exclamation among them. Hence the earliest vehicles for the conveyance of offenders against law and order, especially since they were painted black, were named after her.</p>\n<p><strong>Black Museum.</strong> The collection of criminal relics preserved at the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police at New Scotland Yard.</p>\n<p><strong>Black Prince.</strong> The sobriquet of Edward, Prince of Wales, son of Edward III., not because he wore black armour, as is generally supposed, but, according to Froissart, “by terror of his arms,” and again, Strutt, “for his martial deeds.”</p>\n<p><strong>Black Sea.</strong> From its many black rocks, which render navigation dangerous.</p>\n<p><strong>Blackwall.</strong> A corruption of Bleak Wall.</p>\n<p><strong>Black Watch.</strong> Soldiers first appointed to watch the Highlands of Scotland. They received the name from their black tartans.</p>\n<p><strong>Blandford Square.</strong> From Blandford, Dorsetshire, near Bryanstone, the seat of the great ground landlord, Viscount Portman.</p>\n<p><strong>Blankets.</strong> First made by the Brothers Blanket, of Bristol, in 1337.</p>\n<p><strong>Blarney.</strong> Suave speeches intended only to gain time. When Cormack Macarthy was besieged by the English in Blarney Castle in 1662 he concluded an armistice, with the object of surrendering after a few days; but instead of doing so he sent out soft, evasive speeches, until Lord Carew and his soldiers were forced to admit that they had been duped. Hence the expression: “None of your Blarney.”</p>\n<p><strong>Blenheim Oranges.</strong> First cultivated at Blenheim, the seat of the Duke of Marlborough.</p>\n<p><strong>Blenheim Street.</strong> In compliment to the Duke of Marlborough after the battle of Blenheim.</p>\n<p><strong>Blind Man’s Buff.</strong> So called because if any one of those taking part in the game allowed the blind man to buff up against him he had to be blindfolded in his place.</p>\n<p><strong>Blood.</strong> See “<a href=\"http://www.gutenberg.org/files/54657/54657-h/54657-h.htm#PENNYBLOOD\">Penny Blood</a>.”</p>\n<p><strong>Bloody.</strong> The addiction of the vulgar to the use of this adjective on all occasions has made it low and reprehensible. Anciently, however, it was employed in a most reverential sense, relative to the Blood of Christ--e.g. the “Bloody Sacrifice of the Mass.”</p>\n<p><strong>Bloody Assizes.</strong> Those held by Judge Jeffreys in 1685 for the punishment of all who had taken part in the Duke of Monmouth’s rebellion. Three hundred persons were executed, and more than a thousand transported to the plantations.</p>\n<p><strong>Bloody Butcher.</strong> The sobriquet of the Duke of Cumberland, son of George II., owing to his wholesale slaughter of the adherents of Prince Charles Stuart, the Young Pretender, after the battle of Culloden.</p>\n<p><strong>Bloody Eleventh.</strong> The 11th Foot, in memory of the terrible slaughter inflicted on this regiment at Salamanca.</p>\n<p><strong>Bloody Tower.</strong> Where the infant Princes were murdered at the order of their uncle, Richard, Duke of Glo’ster.</p>\n<p><strong>Bloomers.</strong> After Mrs Ann Bloomer of New York, who introduced the original nondescript style of “New Woman” in 1849.</p>\n<p><strong>Bloomsbury.</strong> A corruption of “Lomesbury,” the name of a manor house and grounds which stood on the site of the present square. “Lomesbury village” sprang up around the ancient church of St Giles’s in-the-Fields.</p>\n<p><strong>Bluchers.</strong> After Field-Marshal von Blucher, who affected this style of military half-boot.</p>\n<p><strong>Blue.</strong> An indecent story is said to be “blue” because harlots in the ancient Bridewell, and in more modern houses of correction or penitentiaries, were habited in blue gowns.</p>\n<p><strong>Blue Boar.</strong> An inn sign derived from the heraldic device of Richard III.</p>\n<p><strong>Blue Grass State.</strong> Kentucky, from the character of the orchard grass in this fertile limestone region.</p>\n<p><strong>Blue Hen’s Chickens.</strong> A nickname for the people of Delaware. The Delaware State Journal thus accounts for its origin: “At the beginning of the Revolutionary War there lived in Sussex county of that colony a gentleman of fortune named Caldwell, who was a sportsman, and breeder of fine horses and game-cocks. His favourite axiom was that the character of the progeny depends more on the mother than on the father, and that the finest game-cocks depended on the hen rather than on the cock. His observation led him to select a blue hen, and he never failed to hatch a good game-cock from a blue hen’s egg. Caldwell distinguished himself as an officer in the First Delaware Regiment for his daring spirit. The high state of its discipline was conceded to its exertions, so that when officers were sent on recruiting service it was said that they had gone home for more of Caldwell’s game-cocks; but as Caldwell insisted that no cock could be truly game unless its mother was a blue hen, the expression Blue Hen’s Chickens was substituted for game-cocks.”</p>\n<p><strong>Blue Law State.</strong> An old name for Connecticut, whose original settlers shared with the Puritans in the mother country a disgust of the licentiousness of the Court of the Restoration, and on this account were said to advocate “Blue” Laws.</p>\n<p><strong>Blue Noses.</strong> A nickname bestowed upon the Nova Scotians, from the species of potato which they produce and claim to be the best in the world.</p>\n<p><strong>Blue Peter.</strong> The flag hoisted at the mast head to give notice that a vessel is about to sail. Its name is a corruption of the French “Bleu Partir,” or blue departure signal.</p>\n<p><strong>Blue Pig.</strong> An inn sign, corrupted from the “Blue Boar.”</p>\n<p><strong>Blue Stocking.</strong> From the famous club of literary ladies formed by Mrs Montague in 1840, at which Benjamin Stillingfleet, who habitually wore blue stockings, was a regular visitor. Blue stockings, therefore, became the recognised badge of membership. There was, however, such a club of ladies and gentlemen at Venice as far back as 1400, called Della Calza, from the colour of stockings worn.</p>\n<p><strong>Blunderbuss.</strong> A corruption of the Dutch donderbus, “thunder tube.”</p>\n<p><strong>Board of Green Cloth.</strong> The steward of the Royal Household presides over this so called court, which has a green cover on its table.</p>\n<p><strong>Boar’s Head.</strong> The sign of the ancient tavern in Eastcheap immortalised by Shakespeare. This, like all others of the same name, was derived from the heraldic device of the Gordons, the earliest of whom slew a boar that had long been a terror of the forest.</p>\n<p><strong>Bob Apple.</strong> A very old boyish pastime. Standing on tiptoe, with their hands behind them, they tried to catch in their mouths an apple as it swung to and fro at the end of a piece of string suspended from the ceiling. A variant of the same game consisted in lying across a form and plunging their heads into a large tub of water, at the bottom of which was the apple.</p>\n<p><strong>Bobby.</strong> The nickname of a policeman, after Sir Robert Peel, to whom the introduction of the modern police system was due.</p>\n<p><strong>Bobs.</strong> The popular nickname of Lord Roberts during the South African War. He is also called “Lord Bobs.”</p>\n<p><strong>Boer.</strong> Expresses the Dutch for a farmer. Synonymous with the English “boor,” an uncultivated fellow, a tiller of the soil.</p>\n<p><strong>Bogtrotter.</strong> An Irishman, from the ease with which he makes his way across the native bogs, in a manner astonishing to a stranger.</p>\n<p><strong>Bogus.</strong> In reporting a trial at law The Boston Courier in 1857 gave the following authoritative origin:--“The word Bogus is a corruption of the name of one Borghese, a very corrupt individual, who twenty years ago or more did a tremendous business in the way of supplying the great west, and portions of the south-west, with counterfeit bills and bills on fictitious banks. The western people fell into the habit of shortening the name of Borghese to that of Bogus, and his bills, as well as all others of like character, were universally styled by them ‘bogus currency.’” So that the word is really American.</p>\n<p><strong>Bohea.</strong> Tea of the poorest quality, grown in the hilly district of Wu-i; pronounced by the Chinese Vooy.</p>\n<p><strong>Bohemia.</strong> From the Bohii, the ancient inhabitants of the country.</p>\n<p><strong>Bohemian.</strong> One who leads a hand-to-mouth existence by literary or other precarious pursuits, who shuns the ordinary conventions of society, and aspires to that only of his fellows. The term originally meant a “Gipsy,” because the earliest nomadic people who overran Western Europe did so by way of Bohemia.</p>\n<p><strong>Boiled Shirt.</strong> An Americanism, originally from the western states, for a starched white shirt.</p>\n<p><strong>Bolivia.</strong> After General Simon Bolivar, surnamed “The Liberator of Peru.”</p>\n<p><strong>Bologna.</strong> A settlement of the Boii, after whom the Romans called it Bononia.</p>\n<p><strong>Bomba.</strong> The sobriquet of Ferdinand, King of Naples, on account of his bombardment of Messina in 1848.</p>\n<p><strong>Bonanza State.</strong> Nevada, on account of its rich mines, styled Bonanza mines. Bonanza is Spanish for “prosperity.”</p>\n<p><strong>Bond Street</strong> (Old and New). Built on the land owned by Sir Thomas Bond, Comptroller of the Household of Charles I.</p>\n<p><strong>Bone of Contention.</strong> In allusion to two dogs fighting over a bone.</p>\n<p><strong>Bone-shaker.</strong> The original type of bicycle, with wooden wheels, of which the rims consisted of small curved pieces glued together. Compared with a modern machine it was anything but easy riding.</p>\n<p><strong>Boniface.</strong> The popular name for an innkeeper--not that St Boniface was the patron saint of drawers and tapsters, but because one of the Popes of this name instituted what was called “St Boniface’s Cup,” by granting an indulgence to all who toasted his health, or that of his successors, immediately after saying grace at meals.</p>\n<p><strong>Booking Office.</strong> In the old coaching days passengers had to book their seats for a stage journey several days in advance at an office in the innyard whence the coaches set out. When railways came in the name was retained, though no “booking” was ever in evidence. Nearly all the old coaching innyards have been converted into railway goods and parcels receiving depots.</p>\n<p><strong>Bookmaker.</strong> From the way in which he adjusts his clients’ bets, so that, ordinarily, he cannot lose on the issue of a day’s racing.</p>\n<p><strong>Boot-jack.</strong> A wooden contrivance by which the wearer could help himself to take off his high-legged boots without the aid of a servant. Hence it was called a jack, which is the generic term for a man-servant or boy.</p>\n<p><strong>Border Eagle State.</strong> Mississippi, on account of the Border Eagle in the arms of the state.</p>\n<p><strong>Bore.</strong> This name was first applied by the “Macaronies” to any person who disapproved of foppishness or dandyism. Nowadays it implies one whose conversation is uninteresting, and whose society becomes repugnant.</p>\n<p><strong>Borneo.</strong> A European application of the Sanskrit boorni, land.</p>\n<p><strong>Born in the Purple.</strong> Since purple was the Imperial colour of the Cæsars and the Emperors of the East, the sons of the reigning monarch were said to be born in it. This expression had a literal truth, for the bed furniture was draped with purple.</p>\n<p><strong>Born with a Silver Spoon in his Mouth.</strong> In allusion to the silver apostle spoon formerly presented to an infant by its godfather at baptism. In the case of a child born lucky or rich such a gift of worldly goods was anticipated at the moment of entering life.</p>\n<p><strong>Borough.</strong> The Burgh or town which arose on the south side of Old London Bridge, long before the City of London became closely packed with streets and houses.</p>\n<p><strong>Borough English.</strong> A Saxon custom, whereby the youngest son of a burgher inherited everything from his father, instead of the eldest, as among the Normans.</p>\n<p><strong>Bosh.</strong> See “<a href=\"http://www.gutenberg.org/files/54657/54657-h/54657-h.htm#ALLBOSH\">All Bosh</a>.”</p>\n<p><strong>Bosphorus.</strong> From the Greek bos-porus, cow strait, agreeably to the fable that Io, transformed into a white cow, swam across it.</p>\n<p><strong>Boss.</strong> A term derived from the Dutch settlers of New York, in whose language baas (pronounced like the a in all), expressed an overseer or master.</p>\n<p><strong>Boston.</strong> Short for St Botolph’s Town. “The stump” of the church is seen from afar across the Boston Deeps.</p>\n<p><strong>Botany Bay.</strong> So called by Captain Cook on account of the variety of, to him, new plants found on its shores. This portion of New South Wales was the first British Convict Settlement; hence Botany Bay became a term synonymous with penal servitude.</p>\n<p><strong>Botolph Lane.</strong> From the church of St Botolph, situated in it.</p>\n<p><strong>Bottle of Hay.</strong> A corruption of “bundle of hay,” from the French botte, a bundle, of which the word bottle expresses the diminutive.</p>\n<p><strong>Bottom Dollar.</strong> An Americanism for one’s last coin.</p>\n<p><strong>Bovril.</strong> An adaptation of bovis, ox, and vril, strength--the latter being a word coined by Lord Lytton in “The Coming Race.”</p>\n<p><strong>Bow.</strong> From the ancient stone bridge over the Lea, which was the first ever built in this country on a bow or arch.</p>\n<p><strong>Bow Church.</strong> Properly the church of St Mary-le-Bow, Cheapside, the first in this country to be built on bows or arches.</p>\n<p><strong>Bowdlerise.</strong> In the year 1818 Thomas Bowdler brought out an expurgated edition of Shakespeare’s Plays; hence a “Bowdlerised Edition” of any work is one of which the original text has been unwarrantably tampered with.</p>\n<p><strong>Bowie Knife.</strong> After Colonel Jim Bowie, a famous fighter of the western states, who first armed himself with this weapon.</p>\n<p><strong>Bow Street.</strong> From its arc shape when first laid out.</p>\n<p><strong>Bow Street Runners.</strong> Primitive detectives sent out from their headquarters in Bow Street in highwayman days.</p>\n<p><strong>Bowyer Tower.</strong> Anciently the residence of the Tower bowyer or bowmaker.

Mayo, was cut off from all social and commercial intercourse with his neighbours for the crime of being an Irish landlord.</p>\n<p><strong>Boy King.</strong> Edward VI., who ascended the throne of England in his tenth, and died in his sixteenth, year.</p>\n<p><strong>Boz.</strong> Under this nom de plume Charles Dickens published his earliest “Sketches” of London life and character in The Morning Chronicle. He has told us himself that this was the pet name of a younger brother, after Moses Primrose in “The Vicar of Wakefield.” The infantile members of the family pronounced the name “Bozes,” and at last shortened it into “Boz.”</p>\n<p><strong>Bradford.</strong> From the Anglo-Saxon Bradenford, “broad ford.”</p>\n<p><strong>Braggadocio.</strong> After Braggadochio, a boasting character in Spenser’s “Faery Queene.”</p>\n<p><strong>Brahma Fowl.</strong> Originally from the district of the Brahmapootra River in India. Pootra is Sanskrit for Son; hence the river name means “The Son of Brahma.”</p>\n<p><strong>Brandy.</strong> From the German Brantwein, burnt wine. A spirituous distillation from wine.</p>\n<p><strong>Brazenose College.</strong> The brazen nose on the college gate notwithstanding, this name was derived from the fact that here stood an ancient brasenhuis, or “brew-house.” Oxford has always been famous for the excellent quality of its beer.</p>\n<p><strong>Bravo.</strong> In Italy one who is always boasting of his courage and prowess; generally a hired assassin.</p>\n<p><strong>Brazil.</strong> From braza, the name given by the Portuguese to the red dye-wood of the country.</p>\n<p><strong>Bread Street.</strong> Where the bakers had their stalls in connection with the Old Chepe, or market.</p>\n<p><strong>Break Bread.</strong> To accept hospitality. In the East bread is baked in the form of large cakes, which are broken, never cut with a knife. To break bread with a stranger ensures the latter personal protection as long as he remains under the roof of his host.</p>\n<p><strong>Breakfast.</strong> The morning meal, when the fast since the previous night’s supper is broken.</p>\n<p><strong>Break the Bank.</strong> Specifically at the gaming-tables of Monte Carlo. With extraordinary luck this may be done on occasion; but the winner’s triumph is short-lived since, the capital of the bank being unlimited, if he continues to play after fresh stores of gold have been produced, he must lose in the end.</p>\n<p><strong>Brecon.</strong> See “<a href=\"http://www.gutenberg.org/files/54657/54657-h/54657-h.htm#BRECKNOCK\">Brecknock</a>.”</p>\n<p><strong>Brecknock.</strong> The capital (also called Brecon) of one of the shires of Wales, originally Breckineauc, after Brychan, a famous Welsh prince.

The name is preserved in Bridewell Police Station.</p>\n<p><strong>Brigadier.</strong> The commanding officer of a brigade.</p>\n<p><strong>Bridge.</strong> Twenty years ago two families at Great Dalby, Leicestershire, paid each other a visit on alternate nights, for a game of what they called Russian whist. Their way lay across a broken bridge, very dangerous after nightfall. “Thank goodness, it’s your bridge to-morrow night!” they were wont to exclaim on parting. This gave the name to the game itself.</p>\n<p><strong>Bridge of Sighs.</strong> The bridge forming a covered gallery over the Canal at Venice between the State prisons on the one hand and the palace of the Doges on the other. Prisoners were led to the latter to hear the death sentence pronounced, and thence to execution. No State prisoner was ever known to recross this bridge; hence its name.</p>\n<p><strong>Bridgewater Square.</strong> From the town house of the Earls of Bridgewater.</p>\n<p><strong>Brief.</strong> A brief summary of all the facts of a client’s case prepared by a solicitor for the instruction of counsel.</p>\n<p><strong>Bristol.</strong> Called by the Anglo-Saxons “Brightstow,” or pleasant, stockaded place.</p>\n<p><strong>Britain.</strong> This country was known to the Phœnicians as Barat-Anac, “the land of time.” The Romans called it Britannia.</p>\n<p><strong>British Columbia.</strong> The only portion of North America which honours the memory, as a place name, of Christopher Columbus.</p>\n<p><strong>Brittany.</strong> The land anciently possessed by the kings of Britain.</p>\n<p><strong>Brixton.</strong> Anciently Brigestan, the bridge of stone.</p>\n<p><strong>Broadside.</strong> A large sheet printed straight across instead of in columns.</p>\n<p><strong>Broker.</strong> From the Anglo-Saxon brucan, through the Old English brocour, to use for profit.</p>\n<p><strong>Brompton.</strong> Anciently Broom Town, or place of the broom plant.</p>\n<p><strong>Brook Street.</strong> From a stream meandering through the fields from Tyburn.</p>\n<p><strong>Brooke Street.</strong> From the town house of Fulke Greville, Lord Brooke.

Its origin is thus given by The Pittsburg Commercial Advertiser: “Some years ago a raw customer from the upper country determined to try his fortune at New Orleans. Accordingly he provided himself with two flat boats--one laden with corn and the other with potatoes--and down the river he went. The night after his arrival he went up town to a gambling-house. Of course, he commenced betting, and, his luck proving unfortunate, he lost. When his money was gone he bet his ‘truck’; and the corn and potatoes followed the money. At last, when evidently cleaned out, he returned to his boats at the wharf, where the evidences of a new misfortune presented themselves. Through some accident or other the flat boat containing the corn was sunk, and a total loss. Consoling himself as well as he could he went to sleep, dreaming of gamblers, potatoes, and corn. It was scarcely sunrise, however, when he was disturbed by the ‘child of chance,’ who had arrived to take possession of the two boats as his winnings. Slowly awakening from his sleep, our hero, rubbing his eyes and looking the man in the face, replied: ‘Stranger, I acknowledge the corn--take ’em; but the potatoes you can’t have, by thunder!’ Since that time it has become customary for a man who frankly admits having been hoaxed or beaten to say: ‘I acknowledge the corn.’”</p> <p><strong>Acropolis.</strong> From the Greek akros, highest, and polis, city.

The French people make it a point of duty to visit the graves of their deceased relatives on this day.</p> <p><strong>All the Go.</strong> Originally a drapers’ phrase, meaning that a certain line of goods is “going” fast and will soon be gone. A publisher, too, thinks a book should “go” with the reading public.</p> <p><strong>All There.</strong> An Americanism expressive of one who has all his wits about him.</p> <p><strong>Almack’s.</strong> Fashionable assembly-rooms in King Street, St James’s, opened 12th February 1765 by MacCall, a Scotsman, who inverted his name to remove all suspicion of his origin. The next proprietor called them Willis’s Rooms, after himself. In 1890 they were converted into a restaurant.</p> <p><strong>Almighty Dollar.</strong> For this expression we are indebted to Washington Irving, who in his sketch of “The Creole Village” (1837) spoke of it as “the great object of universal devotion throughout our land.”</p> <p><strong>Alnwick.</strong> The wick, or village, on the Alne.</p> <p><strong>Alpaca.</strong> Cloth made from the wool of the Peruvian sheep of the same name, akin to the llama.</p> <p><strong>Alps.</strong> From the Latin albus, white, the mountains eternally capped with snow.</p> <p><strong>Alsace.</strong> Teutonic for “the other seat,” being the abode of their own people west of the Rhine. With the Celtic suffix the name became “Alsatia.”</p> <p><strong>Alsatia.</strong> Anciently the district of Whitefriars, which, being a sanctuary for law-breakers, received the name of the Rhine province notorious as the common refuge of the disaffected.</p> <p><strong>Alter Ego.</strong> Expresses the Latin for “my other self” or “double.”</p> <p><strong>Amadeus.</strong> The family name of the House of Savoy, from its motto: “Love God.”</p> <p>11<strong>Amain.</strong> A nautical phrase meaning suddenly, at once--e.g. “Strike amain,” “Lower amain.”</p> <p><strong>Amateur Casual.</strong> The literary sobriquet of Mr James Greenwood, who in 1866 spent a night in Lambeth Workhouse, and wrote his experiences in The Pall Mall Gazette. Within the last few months he has undertaken a similar up-to-date commission for The Tribune.</p> <p><strong>Amati.</strong> A violin of rare excellence made by Andrea Amati of Cremona.</p> <p><strong>Amazon.</strong> The Spaniards first called this river the Orellana, in honour of their countryman who navigated it, but after hearing accounts of the fighting women on its banks they gave it the name of the fabled African tribe of warlike women who cut or burnt off the right breast in order the better to steady the bow. The word Amazon is Greek, from a, without, and maza, breast.</p> <p><strong>Ambrosian Chant.</strong> Ascribed to St Ambrose, Bishop of Milan in the fourth century.</p> <p><strong>Ambuscade.</strong> From the Italian imboscata, concealed in a wood.</p> <p><strong>Amen.</strong> Hebrew for “Yea,” “Truly,” “So be it.”</p> <p><strong>Amen Corner.</strong> Old Stow tells us this lane was suddenly stopped up in his time, so that people said “Amen” on finding they had to turn back again. There may be something in this; but the greater likelihood is that it was here where the monks finished the recital of the Paternoster before they took up the Ave Maria while on their way in solemn procession to St Paul’s at the great Church festivals.</p> <p><strong>America.</strong> After Amerigo Vespucci, a Florentine adventurer, who chanced to be at Seville when Columbus was preparing for his second voyage to the West. With Ojeda, Vespucci embarked upon an independent expedition. Subsequently he made further voyages in Portuguese ships, and discovered the Bay of All Saints. His remaining days were spent in the service of the 12King of Spain, preparing charts and prescribed routes to the New World. Although these official publications bore his signature, Vespucci never claimed to have discovered the great Western Continent. A wonderful narrative of his voyages, however, purporting to have been written by Vespucci, found its way into the hands of Martin Waldseemuller of Freiburg, Baden. This he translated, and caused it to be published by a bookseller at St Die in Lorraine in 1507. In his preface to the work Waldseemuller suggested that the newly discovered country should be called America, after the author, who had visited it. Hence the name really originated in Germany.</p> <p><strong>American Indians.</strong> See “<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/files/54657/54657-h/54657-h.htm#INDIANS">Indians</a>.”</p> <p><strong>Americanism.</strong> A coined word or phrase in the United States which, freely repeated, tickles the popular ear and soon becomes engrafted upon the national vocabulary. Many Americanisms are now as common in England as in the land of their origin.

When, therefore, New Year’s Day had been transferred to the 1st of January, people paid mock visits to their friends on the 1st of April with the object of fooling them into the belief that matters remained as they were.

Its origin is thus given by The Pittsburg Commercial Advertiser: “Some years ago a raw customer from the upper country determined to try his fortune at New Orleans. Accordingly he provided himself with two flat boats--one laden with corn and the other with potatoes--and down the river he went. The night after his arrival he went up town to a gambling-house. Of course, he commenced betting, and, his luck proving unfortunate, he lost. When his money was gone he bet his ‘truck’; and the corn and potatoes followed the money. At last, when evidently cleaned out, he returned to his boats at the wharf, where the evidences of a new misfortune presented themselves. Through some accident or other the flat boat containing the corn was sunk, and a total loss. Consoling himself as well as he could he went to sleep, dreaming of gamblers, potatoes, and corn. It was scarcely sunrise, however, when he was disturbed by the ‘child of chance,’ who had arrived to take possession of the two boats as his winnings. Slowly awakening from his sleep, our hero, rubbing his eyes and looking the man in the face, replied: ‘Stranger, I acknowledge the corn--take ’em; but the potatoes you can’t have, by thunder!’ Since that time it has become customary for a man who frankly admits having been hoaxed or beaten to say: ‘I acknowledge the corn.’”</p>\n<p><strong>Acropolis.</strong> From the Greek akros, highest, and polis, city.

The allusion to fresh air is obvious.</p>\n<p><strong>Aix-la-Chapelle.</strong> The Aquis Granum of the Romans, famous for its baths. Hence the German name Aachen, expressive of many springs.

The story goes that a sailor who wandered into a church in that country, hearing these words, afterwards told his companions that all he could make out from the service was: “All my eye and Betty Martin.”</p>\n<p><strong>All Saints’ Bay.</strong> Discovered by Amerigo Vespucci on the Feast of All Saints, 1503.</p>\n<p><strong>All Saints’ Day.</strong> The day set apart by the Church for the invocation of the whole body of canonised saints.</p>\n<p><strong>All Serena.</strong> From the Spanish serena, used by sentinels as a countersign for “All’s well.”</p>\n<p><strong>All Souls’ College.</strong> Founded at Oxford by Henry Chichely, Archbishop of Canterbury, for the perpetual offering up of prayers on behalf of the souls of those who fell in the wars of Henry V. in France.</p>\n<p>10<strong>All Souls’ Day.</strong> The day of special prayers for the liberation of the suffering souls in Purgatory. The French people make it a point of duty to visit the graves of their deceased relatives on this day.</p>\n<p><strong>All the Go.</strong> Originally a drapers’ phrase, meaning that a certain line of goods is “going” fast and will soon be gone. A publisher, too, thinks a book should “go” with the reading public.</p>\n<p><strong>All There.</strong> An Americanism expressive of one who has all his wits about him.</p>\n<p><strong>Almack’s.</strong> Fashionable assembly-rooms in King Street, St James’s, opened 12th February 1765 by MacCall, a Scotsman, who inverted his name to remove all suspicion of his origin. The next proprietor called them Willis’s Rooms, after himself. In 1890 they were converted into a restaurant.</p>\n<p><strong>Almighty Dollar.</strong> For this expression we are indebted to Washington Irving, who in his sketch of “The Creole Village” (1837) spoke of it as “the great object of universal devotion throughout our land.”</p>\n<p><strong>Alnwick.</strong> The wick, or village, on the Alne.</p>\n<p><strong>Alpaca.</strong> Cloth made from the wool of the Peruvian sheep of the same name, akin to the llama.</p>\n<p><strong>Alps.</strong> From the Latin albus, white, the mountains eternally capped with snow.</p>\n<p><strong>Alsace.</strong> Teutonic for “the other seat,” being the abode of their own people west of the Rhine. With the Celtic suffix the name became “Alsatia.”</p>\n<p><strong>Alsatia.</strong> Anciently the district of Whitefriars, which, being a sanctuary for law-breakers, received the name of the Rhine province notorious as the common refuge of the disaffected.</p>\n<p><strong>Alter Ego.</strong> Expresses the Latin for “my other self” or “double.”</p>\n<p><strong>Amadeus.</strong> The family name of the House of Savoy, from its motto: “Love God.”</p>\n<p>11<strong>Amain.</strong> A nautical phrase meaning suddenly, at once--e.g. “Strike amain,” “Lower amain.”</p>\n<p><strong>Amateur Casual.</strong> The literary sobriquet of Mr James Greenwood, who in 1866 spent a night in Lambeth Workhouse, and wrote his experiences in The Pall Mall Gazette. Within the last few months he has undertaken a similar up-to-date commission for The Tribune.</p>\n<p><strong>Amati.</strong> A violin of rare excellence made by Andrea Amati of Cremona.</p>\n<p><strong>Amazon.</strong> The Spaniards first called this river the Orellana, in honour of their countryman who navigated it, but after hearing accounts of the fighting women on its banks they gave it the name of the fabled African tribe of warlike women who cut or burnt off the right breast in order the better to steady the bow. The word Amazon is Greek, from a, without, and maza, breast.</p>\n<p><strong>Ambrosian Chant.</strong> Ascribed to St Ambrose, Bishop of Milan in the fourth century.</p>\n<p><strong>Ambuscade.</strong> From the Italian imboscata, concealed in a wood.</p>\n<p><strong>Amen.</strong> Hebrew for “Yea,” “Truly,” “So be it.”</p>\n<p><strong>Amen Corner.</strong> Old Stow tells us this lane was suddenly stopped up in his time, so that people said “Amen” on finding they had to turn back again. There may be something in this; but the greater likelihood is that it was here where the monks finished the recital of the Paternoster before they took up the Ave Maria while on their way in solemn procession to St Paul’s at the great Church festivals.</p>\n<p><strong>America.</strong> After Amerigo Vespucci, a Florentine adventurer, who chanced to be at Seville when Columbus was preparing for his second voyage to the West. With Ojeda, Vespucci embarked upon an independent expedition. Subsequently he made further voyages in Portuguese ships, and discovered the Bay of All Saints. His remaining days were spent in the service of the 12King of Spain, preparing charts and prescribed routes to the New World. Although these official publications bore his signature, Vespucci never claimed to have discovered the great Western Continent. A wonderful narrative of his voyages, however, purporting to have been written by Vespucci, found its way into the hands of Martin Waldseemuller of Freiburg, Baden. This he translated, and caused it to be published by a bookseller at St Die in Lorraine in 1507. In his preface to the work Waldseemuller suggested that the newly discovered country should be called America, after the author, who had visited it. Hence the name really originated in Germany.</p>\n<p><strong>American Indians.</strong> See “<a href=\"http://www.gutenberg.org/files/54657/54657-h/54657-h.htm#INDIANS\">Indians</a>.”</p>\n<p><strong>Americanism.</strong> A coined word or phrase in the United States which, freely repeated, tickles the popular ear and soon becomes engrafted upon the national vocabulary.

The ruins of a temple of Apollo gave the name to the spot.</p>\n<p><strong>Apothecary.</strong> The old name for a dispenser of medicines. The Greek word really implies a storehouse or depository; 15it is compounded out of apo, to put away, and theke, chest, box. Differing from modern chemists and druggists, licentiates of the Apothecaries’ Company may visit the sick and prescribe for them, as well as make up physicians’ prescriptions.</p>\n<p><strong>Appian Way.</strong> The construction of this famous road leading from Rome to Capua was commenced by Appius Claudius.</p>\n<p><strong>Apostle of Temperance.</strong> Father Mathew, the inveterate enemy of tipplers in the Emerald Isle of his time.</p>\n<p><strong>Apostles’ Creed.</strong> The whole summary of Christian Faith, according to the Apostles.</p>\n<p><strong>Apostolic Fathers.</strong> Those early doctors of the Church who, living in the first century after Christ, received their teaching from His disciples, if they did not actually enjoy personal communion with the Apostles.</p>\n<p><strong>Apricot.</strong> From the Latin præcoqus, early ripe.</p>\n<p><strong>April.</strong> The month in which the buds begin to shoot, from aperio, to open.</p>\n<p><strong>April Fish.</strong> The French equivalent of “April Fool,” since, like a fish, the unsuspecting victim of a practical joke is easily caught.</p>\n<p><strong>April Fool.</strong> The custom of April Fooling originated in France, which country took the lead in shifting the New Year from what is now Lady Day to the 1st of January. This occurred in 1564. From the earliest periods of history people bestowed gifts upon their neighbours at the New Year, but as the 25th of March so often fell in Holy Week, even on Good Friday itself, the Church uniformly postponed the celebration of the New Year until the octave--viz. the 1st of April. When, therefore, New Year’s Day had been transferred to the 1st of January, people paid mock visits to their friends on the 1st of April with the object of fooling them into the belief that matters remained as they were. The like custom was introduced into England on the alteration of our calendar in 1762. April Fools’ Day is supposed to be over at 16twelve o’clock, since the New Year’s visitation and bestowal of gifts always took place before noon.</p>\n<p><strong>Apsley House.</strong> The residence of the Duke of Wellington, built by Henry Apsley, Lord Chancellor, afterwards Lord Bathurst.</p>\n<p><strong>Aquarians.</strong> A Christian sect of the fourth century who substituted water for wine in the Communion.</p>\n<p><strong>Aqua Tofana.</strong> A colourless poison invented by a Sicilian woman named Tofana towards the close of the seventeenth century.

책보요여입니다. 고전 도서를 전자책만의 감성을 느낄 수 있도록 제작/출간하고 있습니다. 또한 원어민 오디오북 파일과 연동한 책들이 많습니다. 각 챕터 시작 부분에 보이는 헤드셋 아이콘을 누르면 브라우져가 열리는데, 재생 후 다시 뷰어로 돌아와 책을 동시에 읽어 나가면 됩니다. 예스24, 알라딘, 교보문고, 리디북스, 밀리의 서재(업데이트 진행중)에서

전자책 1인출판 책보요여입니다.\n\n고전 도서를 전자책만의 감성을 느낄 수 있도록 제작/출간하고 있습니다. 또한 원어민 오디오북 파일과 연동한 책들이 많습니다. 각 챕터 시작 부분에 보이는 헤드셋 아이콘을 누르면 브라우져가 열리는데, 재생 후 다시 뷰어로 돌아와 책을 동시에 읽어 나가면 됩니다. 예스24, 알라딘, 교보문고, 리디북스, 밀리의 서재(업데이트 진행중)에서 만나보실 수 있습니다. 앞으로도 다양한 분야의 책들을 엄선하여 출간할 예정이니 많은 관심 부탁드립니다. 감사합니다. ^^\n\n● 전자책 살펴보기 :

title[공유]도서정가제, 소비자 후생 고려해 재정가 허용기준 완화하고, 전자출판물은 지속 논의
body도서정가제 개정 사항 이번 개정 시에는 제도의 큰 틀은 유지하되 세부사항을 정비하는 한편, 소비자 후생을 고려해 재정가제도를 통한 정가 인하 효과를 높이고 전자출판물 적용 방안은 계속 논의를 추진한다. ​ 우선 정가변경제도를 활성화하기 위해 정가변경 허용기준을 현행 18개월에서 12개월로 완화한다. 향후에는 출판사들이 쉽게 정가를 변경할 수 있도록 출판유통통합전산망과도 연계할 계획이다. 이를 통해 출판사들은 시장 수요에 유연하게 대처할 수 있게 된다. 또한, 재정가제도를 활용해 출판업계와 함께 ‘재정가 페스티벌(가제)’과 같은 정가 인하 행사를 개최해 소비자들이 저렴한 가격으로 다양한 양서를 구매할 수 있는 기회를 제공할 예정이다. ​ 국가, 지방자치단체, 공공기관, 공공도서관이 책을 구입할 때에는 물품, 마일리지 등 별도의 경제상 이익 없이 정가 10%까지의 가격할인만 제공하도록 한다. 이를 통해 상대적으로 할인 여력이 적어 경제상 이익을 제공하기 어려운 지역서점도 공공입찰 시에 대형·온라인 서점과 동등하게 경쟁할 수 있는 기반을 마련한다. ​ 또한, 정가 판매 의무의 위반 횟수에 따라서 과태료를 차등적으로 부과한다. 기존에는 위반 횟수에 관계없이 동일한 금액의 과태료가 부과되었으나, 계속 위반하는 경우에는 더 높은 차수의 과태료를 부과하여 반복 위반행위를 근절하는 등 제도 실효성을 확보한다. * (현행) 위반 횟수 관계없이 300만 원 ⇒ (개정) 1차 위반 300만 원, 2차 위반 400만 원, 3차 위반 500만 원 아울러 전자출판물에는 정가 표시 의무를 유연하게 적용한다. 캐시, 코인 등 전자화폐로 웹툰 등 전자출판물을 판매하는 경우에는 작품정보란과 같이 소비자가 쉽게 찾을 수 있는 위치에 원화 단위의 정가(예: 소장 100원)를 표시하면 된다. 다만, 소비자가 정가를 인지할 수 있도록 전자화폐와 원화 간의 교환비율(예: 1캐시=100원)을 명시해야 한다. 이와 함께, 전자출판물 시장 특성을 고려한 도서정가제 적용 방안을 수립하기 위해 향후 충분한 시간을 두고 전자출판물 시장을 연구・조사하고 전자출판물을 즐겨 읽는 소비자와 관련 업계의 의견을 수렴할 계획이다. https://wl.nl.go.kr/usr/com/prm/BBSDetail.do?menuNo=12001&upperMenuId=12&bbsId=BBSMSTR_000000000455&nttId=6206

      "body": "도서정가제 개정 사항\n\n이번 개정 시에는 제도의 큰 틀은 유지하되 세부사항을 정비하는 한편, 소비자 후생을 고려해 재정가제도를 통한 정가 인하 효과를 높이고 전자출판물 적용 방안은 계속 논의를 추진한다.\n​\n\n우선 정가변경제도를 활성화하기 위해 정가변경 허용기준을 현행 18개월에서 12개월로 완화한다. 향후에는 출판사들이 쉽게 정가를 변경할 수 있도록 출판유통통합전산망과도 연계할 계획이다. 이를 통해 출판사들은 시장 수요에 유연하게 대처할 수 있게 된다. 또한, 재정가제도를 활용해 출판업계와 함께 ‘재정가 페스티벌(가제)’과 같은 정가 인하 행사를 개최해 소비자들이 저렴한 가격으로 다양한 양서를 구매할 수 있는 기회를 제공할 예정이다.\n​\n\n국가, 지방자치단체, 공공기관, 공공도서관이 책을 구입할 때에는 물품, 마일리지 등 별도의 경제상 이익 없이 정가 10%까지의 가격할인만 제공하도록 한다. 이를 통해 상대적으로 할인 여력이 적어 경제상 이익을 제공하기 어려운 지역서점도 공공입찰 시에 대형·온라인 서점과 동등하게 경쟁할 수 있는 기반을 마련한다.\n​\n\n또한, 정가 판매 의무의 위반 횟수에 따라서 과태료를 차등적으로 부과한다. 기존에는 위반 횟수에 관계없이 동일한 금액의 과태료가 부과되었으나, 계속 위반하는 경우에는 더 높은 차수의 과태료를 부과하여 반복 위반행위를 근절하는 등 제도 실효성을 확보한다.\n\n\n* (현행) 위반 횟수 관계없이 300만 원 ⇒ (개정) 1차 위반 300만 원, 2차 위반 400만 원, 3차 위반 500만 원\n\n\n\n아울러 전자출판물에는 정가 표시 의무를 유연하게 적용한다. 캐시, 코인 등 전자화폐로 웹툰 등 전자출판물을 판매하는 경우에는 작품정보란과 같이 소비자가 쉽게 찾을 수 있는 위치에 원화 단위의 정가(예: 소장 100원)를 표시하면 된다. 다만, 소비자가 정가를 인지할 수 있도록 전자화폐와 원화 간의 교환비율(예: 1캐시=100원)을 명시해야 한다.\n\n이와 함께, 전자출판물 시장 특성을 고려한 도서정가제 적용 방안을 수립하기 위해 향후 충분한 시간을 두고 전자출판물 시장을 연구・조사하고 전자출판물을 즐겨 읽는 소비자와 관련 업계의 의견을 수렴할 계획이다.\n\nhttps://wl.nl.go.kr/usr/com/prm/BBSDetail.do?menuNo=12001&upperMenuId=12&bbsId=BBSMSTR_000000000455&nttId=6206",

I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me." The Invisible Man is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells. Originally serialized in Pearson's Weekly in 1897, it was published as a novel the same year. The Invisible Man to whom the title refers is Griffin, a scientist who has devoted himself to research into optics and who invents a way to change a body's refractive index to that of air so that it neither absorbs nor reflects light. He carries out this procedure on himself and renders himself invisible, but fails in his attempt to reverse it. A practitioner of random and irresponsible violence, Griffin has become an iconic character in horror fiction.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the four crime novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in "The Final Problem", and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a Scottish physician and writer, most noted for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Montgomery). Written for all ages, it has been considered a classic children's novel since the mid-twentieth century. Set in the late 19th century, the novel recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan girl, who is mistakenly sent to two middle-aged siblings, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who had originally intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island, Canada. The novel recounts how Anne makes her way through life with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town. Lucy Maud Montgomery(1874–1942), published as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. https://youtu.be/31aZ8pOMhlc https://blog.naver.com/bruceltk/222071306369

bodyThe War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel by English author H. G. Wells, first serialised in 1897 by Pearson's Magazine in the UK and by Cosmopolitan magazine in the US. The novel's first appearance in hardcover was in 1898 from publisher William Heinemann of London. Written between 1895 and 1897, it is one of the earliest stories to detail a conflict between mankind and an extraterrestrial race. The novel is the first-person narrative of both an unnamed protagonist in Surrey and of his younger brother in London as southern England is invaded by Martians. The War of the Worlds has been both popular (having never been out of print) and influential, spawning half a dozen feature films, radio dramas, a record album, various comic book adaptations, a number of television series, and sequels or parallel stories by other authors. The novel has even influenced the work of scientists, notably Robert H. Goddard, who, inspired by the book, invented both the liquid fuelled rocket and multistage rocket, which resulted in the Apollo 11 Moon landing 71 years later. Herbert George Wells(1866-1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. https://youtu.be/r-yas0yPbLU https://blog.naver.com/bruceltk/222064934798

body![standard_coverimage.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWvQsTDt1DpXbncCircRQp8o9h5Bv2dJKJpjZkAvzUxnq/standard_coverimage.jpg) The Scarlet Plague is a post-apocalyptic fiction novel written by Jack London and originally published in London Magazine in 1912. The story takes place in 2073, sixty years after an uncontrollable epidemic, the Red Death, has depopulated the planet. James Smith is one of the survivors of the era before the scarlet plague hit and is still left alive in the San Francisco area, and he travels with his grandsons Edwin, Hoo-Hoo, and Hare-Lip. His grandsons are young and live as primeval hunter-gatherers in a heavily depopulated world. Their intellect is limited, as are their language abilities. Edwin asks Smith, whom they call "Granser", to tell them of the disease alternately referred to as scarlet plague, scarlet death, or red death. Jack London (January 12, 1876 – November 22 1916), is an American author who wrote The Call of the Wild and other books. ![Screenshot 2020-08-09 at 13.30.45.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPgy584isSM2TerprfcHJvqhLHjVS2CKXfxHDMhUKvpNp/Screenshot%202020-08-09%20at%2013.30.45.jpg) https://blog.naver.com/bruceltk/222053967909
