M. W. MacCallum, Shakespeare's Roman Plays and their Background, Introduction, Chapter 1 (search)
ld its pride of place to the matter of Rome the Grand. Moreover, the earlier Roman Histories are of very inferior importance, and none of them reaches even a moderate standard of merit till the production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar in 1600 or 1601. In this department Shakespeare had not the light to guide him that he found for his English Histories in Marlowe's Edward II., or even in such plays as The Famous Victories of Henry V. The extant pieces that precede his first experiment, seem o Seneca, either after the crude fashion of Gorboduc or subsequently under the better guidance of the French practitioners; and among these later Senecans were distinguished men like Lord Brooke, who destroyed a tragedy on Antony and Cleopatra in 1601, and Brandon, whose Vertuous Octavia, written in 1598, still survives.It is in the Dyce Collection in South Kensington and is inaccessible to me. It is described as claiming sympathy for Antony's neglected wife. In others again there may have bee

his position must have improved; for in 1591, in reward it may be for his patriotic activity. the Queen conferred on him the honour of knighthood, which in those days implied as necessary qualification the possession of land to the minimum value of £40 a year. This was followed by other acknowledgments and dignities of moderate worth. In I592 and again in 1597 he sat on the Commission of Peace for Cambridgeshire. In 1598 he received a grant of 20 from the town of Cambridge, and in 1601 a pension of £40 a year from the Queen. These amounts are not munificent, even if we take them at the outside figure suggested as the equivalent in modern money.That is, if we multiply them by eight. They give the impression that North was notvery well off, that in his circumstances some assistance was desirable, and a little assistance would go a long way. At the same time they show that his conduct deserved and obtained appreciation. Indeed, the pension from the Queen is granted express

ously reviled him.M. Brutus. Thus it seems fairly certain that a knowledge of Shakespeare's play is presupposed by the Mirror of Martyrs, which was printed in 1601. On the other hand, it cannot have been much earlier. The absence of such a typical tragedy from Meres' list in 1598 is nearly proof positive that it was n most then that can be established by this set of inferences, is that it was produced after Meres' Palladis Tamia in 1598 and before Weever's Mirror of Martyrs in 1601. The narrowness of the range is fairly satisfactory, and it may be further reduced. It has been surmised that perhaps Essex‘ treason turned Shakespeare's thounot put Julius Caesar after Hamlet, but it seems to have closer relations with Hamlet than with Henry V. It is not rash to place it between the two, in 1600 or 1601. This does not however mean that we necessarily have it quite in its original form. On the contrary, there are indications that it may have been revised some t

neral Jackson with him. But he had Jackson in the Sharpsburg campaign, which was more blundering than that of Gettysburg. At Sharpsburg, General Jackson left the field at seven o'clock in the morning and did not return until four o'clock in the afternoon,when he was ordered with his command and the cavalry to turn and strike down against the Union right. He started to execute the order, then gave it up without even asking permission. He made a brave and gallant fight in the morning, losing 1601 officers and men. But D. H. Hill was there from the first to the last gun, losing from his division 1872 officers and men. Jackson had the greater part of two divisions. But Hill was not a Virginian, and it would not do to leave the field for refreshments. The figures include Jackson's losses at Harper's Ferry and Sharpsburg; Hill's at South Mountain and Sharpsburg. In another account Fitzhugh Lee wrote of General Lee,-- He told the father of the writer, his brother, that he was controlled

Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Gorges, Sir Ferdinando 1565-1647 (search)
Gorges, Sir Ferdinando 1565-1647 Colonial proprietor; born in Ashton Phillips, Somerset, England, about 1565; was associated with the courtiers of Queen Elizabeth; was engaged in the conspiracy of the Earl of Essex against the Queen's council (1600) ; and testified against him at his trial for treason (1601). Having served in the royal navy with distinction, he was appointed governor of Plymouth in 1604. A friend of Raleigh, he became imbued with that great man's desire to plant a colony in America, and when Captain Weymouth returned from the New England coast (1605), and brought captive natives with him, Gorges took three of them into his own home, from whom, after instructing them in the English language, he gained much information about their country. Gorges now became chiefly instrumental in forming the Plymouth Company (q. v.), to settle western Virginia, and from that time he was a very active member, defending its rights before Parliament, and stimulating by his own zeal
