	James Bruce - LoveToKnow 1911
		JAMES BRUCE (1730-1794), Scottish explorer in Africa, was born at Kinnaird House, Stirlingshire, on the 14th of December 1730.
		Though admitting that the White Nile was the larger stream, Bruce claimed that the Blue Nile was the Nile of the ancients and that he was thus the discoverer of its source.
		Bruce wrote an autobiography, part of which is printed in editions of his Travels, published in 1805 and 1813, accompanied by a biographical notice by the editor, Alexander Murray.

	James Bruce
		Bruce took to the boat, along with a great number of the other passengers; but finding that it could not survive, and fearing lest he should be overwhelmed by a multitude of drowning wretches, he saw it necessary to commit himself at once to the sea, and endeavour to swim ashore.
		Bruce, by the good offices of Ayto Aylo, was introduced to the distracted mother as a skilful physician; and after some preliminary civilities, he undertook to cure the child, in which task he very soon succeeded.
		Bruce left Fasil's house on the 31st of October, and as he travelled onward for a few days through this rude territory, the people, instead of giving him any annoyance, everywhere fled at his approach, thinking, from the appearance of Fasil's horse, that the expedition was one of taxation and contribution.

		James Bruce (December 14, 1730 – April 27, 1794) was a Scottish traveller and travel writer who spent more than a dozen years in North Africa and Abyssinia (Ethiopia) where he traced the Blue Nile.
		Bruce was born at the family seat of Kinnaird, Perthshire, and educated at Harrow School and Edinburgh University, and began to study for the bar; but his marriage to the daughter of a wine merchant resulted in his entering that business.
		Several of Bruce's drawings were presented to King George III and are in the royal collection at Windsor Castle.

		Bruce was entering a hall of mirrors, where things may not be what they appear to be and where any given situation could rapidly deteriorate into one as slippery as a bald tire on fl ice.
		Physically, Bruce not only was recuperating from his ordeal in the desert, but he had contracted malaria and a rather nasty parasite, a guinea-worm, had taken residence in one of his legs.
		James Bruce of Kinnaird was buried under a remarkably graceful obelisk (recently restored by Lord Elgin, our Chief) beside the church at Larbert founded by one of his ancestors.

	1790 James Bruce book
		Bruce was particularly interested in obtaining examples of Ethiopian books, such as the "Kebra Nagast" and the "Book of Enoch," both of which were written in Ge'ez, the classical language of Ethiopia.
		Bruce did not relate much of the story of the Ethiopian "Book of Enoch" or the historical "Kebra Nagast" in the pages of his Travels, It is, however, likely that he communicated the essential stories of both obscure texts, translated into English, in limited-circulation Masonic publications, both in Scotland and in England's American colonies.

		He was born on the 14th December 1730, at Kinnaird, in the county of Stirling, and was eldest son of David Bruce of Kinnaird,* by Marion, daughter of James Graham of Airth, Judge of the High Court of Admiralty in Scotland.
		At the age of eight years, Bruce, who was then rather of a weakly habit and gentle disposition, though afterwards remarkable for robustness of body and boldness of mind, was sent to London to the care of an uncle.
		Bruce very quietly left the room, and shortly afterwards returned from the kitchen with a raw beef-steak, peppered and salted in the Abyssinian fashion.

	The Persecution of Lenny Bruce - James Campion
		Thirty-seven years ago, Lenny Bruce, comedic talent, potty mouth, satirist, contrarian, blasphemer and grandstand martyr for the first amendment died in relative poverty, a broken and hounded victim of free expression.
		Ironically, we are on the precipice of an era not unlike the late 50s', early 60s', when Lenny Bruce burst on the cultural scene.
		By declaring his mission to expose the guise of phony respectability through a series of comedic routines liberally laced with rousing vulgarities and penetratingly brutal language, Bruce created a dangerous persona poised to skewer such taboo subjects as race relations, political vagaries and the sanctimony of organized religion.
