THE PRINCESS AND THE GOBLIN by GEORGE MACDONALD The last of the men-at-arms, the captain himself, was on the floor, buried beneath a wallowing crowd of goblins. 'We are the king's own men-at-arms,' said the captain courteously, for he was taken with Curdie's appearance and courage. When Curdie ran in at the gate with the princess in his arms, they were all so absorbed in their own misery and awed by the king's presence and grief, that no one observed his arrival. classics.freehomepage.com /macdonald/princess4.html   (8376 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The United States of America Then the arms of France were nailed to a tree, at the foot of which was buried a leaden plate with an inscription claiming the Ohio and all its tributaries for the King of France. Oregon was claimed by right of Captain Gray's discovery of the Columbia River, which he named after his ship; when President Jefferson had bought Louisiana he sent Lewis and Clark to explore that region; in 1811 the fur-trading station Astoria was established there. Armed bands of Missourians crossed the border into Kansas, took possession of the polls, and, though they had no right to vote, elected a pro-slavery delegate. www.newadvent.org /cathen/15156a.htm   (21027 words)

Every one of these ships cruising in US waters should have several experienced bosun’s mates on the crew, and the Captain should see to it that they are assigned to supervise details such as this.

Amazon.co.uk: Books: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Hyde, Captain Nemo is a dark, mad, cynical old bastard, quick to mistrust and not bothered by what others think of him and Allan Quartermain is an aging drug addict, far from the rash, brave adventurer of his youth but desperate to regain that man. Dr. With the stunning The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, it would be no exaggeration to say that Alan Moore has produced a near-perfect piece of adventure fiction that is clever, literate, rich with excitement and hard to put down. Speaking of the back of the trade, Moore's loose handling of the comic medium (shown in Watchmen with his various article and book extracts) is evident, with a short story on an early adventure of Allan Quatermain's included, and some throwaway puzzles and bobs. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/1840233028   (2247 words)

Political Philosophy of John Locke [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] We have seen that Locke’s conception of the state moves away from that of the ship and captain analogy to conceiving the state as an instrument whose sole purpose is to provide a secure framework for the life, property, and liberty of the people. But at Oxford, he was quite taken with the metaphor: indeed he notes that such great captains who steer their nations wisely are those “whom the Scriptures calls gods” compared to the multitudinous “beasts”. This does not undermine the theoretical justification of government — that it ought to be consensual, for earlier Locke stresses that adults have the right to secede from their present society to form a new one, therefore present occupation or de facto rule does not validate a government’s status. www.iep.utm.edu /l/locke-po.htm   (14350 words)

Clan MACDUFF He was also Captain of the Corps of Gentlemen at Arms, and was a highly popular peer. As a result of this last boon, as late as 1421 three gentlemen in Fife who could claim kin with Macduff obtained a remission for the slaughter of Melville of Glenbervie upon payment of the stipulated fine. The climax of the fortunes of his family was reached when in 1889 he married Her Royal Highness the Princess Louise, eldest daughter of the Prince of Wales, afterwards the late King Edward. www.electricscotland.com /webclans/m/macduff2.html   (2375 words)

A letter from the Olde Countrie In a recent poll of one (Mrs Group Captain), points 1, 3, 4, 5, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 27, 43, 44, 54, 57, 60, 62, 76, 80, 81, 84, 88 and 96 here, were offered as clues to The Group Captain's eccentricity and gentlemanly aspirations. There is little doubt that a renewed failure of arms inspection would secure a UN Security Council mandate authorising military enforcement of Iraqi disarmament.

Captain Nathan Hale But, as was almost a custom of the time, he began his active life as a teacher in the public schools, and early in 1774 accepted an appointment as the teacher of the Union Grammar School, a school maintained by the gentlemen of New London, Conn., for the higher education of their children. “On the morning of the execution,” said Captain Montresor, an English officer, “ my station being near the fatal spot, I requested the Provost-Marshal to permit the prisoner to sit in my marquee while he was making the necessary preparations. “Let us march immediately,” he said, “and never lay down our arms until we obtain our independence.” He assembled his school as usual the next day, but only to take leave of his scholars. www.ctssar.org /patriots/nathan_hale.htm   (2047 words)

Thomas RADCLIFFE (3° E. Sussex) He had been named an executor of her will and was apparently present at her funeral as captain of the gentlemen pensioners: by hereditary right he served as chief sewer at the coronation of Elizabeth. Although reappointed to his Irish post, he attended the first Parliament of the new reign and thereafter was regular in his appearances in the Lords, missing only the first session of the Parliament of 1563, and had many bills committed to him: he also exercised parliamentary patronage in the borough of Maldon. He went back to Ireland two weeks after the prorogation and although on 31 Oct 1558 he was licensed to return ‘to confer upon the state and affairs of that realm’ he was still there when Parliament met again in Nov and did not leave until after the Queen's death. www.tudorplace.com.ar /Bios/ThomasRadcliffe(3ESussex).htm   (1576 words)
