Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Fairfax, Thomas 1691-1781 (search)
Lord Fairfax lived during the storms of the French and Indian War, and of the Revolution, taking no part in public affairs, but always a stanch loyalist. When the news came that his young friend Washington had captured Cornwallis, he was ninety years of age. He was overcome with emotion, and he called to his body-servant to carry him to his bed, for I am sure, he said, it is time for me to die. A ballad gives the sequel is follows: Then up rose Joe, all at the word, And took his master's arm, And to his bed he softly led The lord of Greenway farm, Then thrice he called on Britain's name, And thrice he wept full sore, Then sighed, O Lord, thy will be done! And word spoke never more. He died at his lodge, Greenway Court, in Frederick county, Va., Dec. 12, 1781. The eleventh Lord Fairfax and Baron of Cameron, John Coutee Fairfax, was born in Vaucluse, Va., Sept. 13, 1830; was a physician; succeeded his brother in the title in 1869; and died in Northampton, Md., Sept. 28, 1900.

led. This was the beginning of organized revivals of religion, which have prevailed ever since Among its fruits were vigorous attempts at the conversion of the Indians. David Brainerd, one of the New lights, expelled from Yale College for having spoken of a tutor as destitute of religion. devoted himself to this service, first among the Indians on the frontiers of Massachusetts and New York, and then among the Delawares of New Jersey. Edwards, who had been dismissed from his church at Northampton, became preacher to the Indians at Stockbridge; and Eleazar Wheelock, a New light minister at Lebanon, Conn., established in that town an Indian missionary school. This great revival had a powerful effect on the political aspect of the colonies by the almost total abandonment of the theocratic idea of a Christian commonwealth, in which every other interest must be made subservient to unity of faith and worship, the State being held responsible to God for the salvation of the souls intr

tematic manufacture was introduced into England by refugees from Flanders. Lace was anciently worked by the needle. The invention of lace knitting is attributed to Barbara, wife of Christopher Huttman, a German miner, in 1560. A manufactory was established in France by Colbert, in 1566. Point lace was embroidered with the needle. Bone lace (temp. of Charles 1.) was a kind of thread lace, and received its name from the bobbins being made of bone. About 1768, a stocking-weaver of Northampton produced a machine for making lace; it was called the pin-frame, and is still employed in France for making the lace called tulle. The method of Barbara Huttman is as follows: The lace-maker has a hard cushion in her lap on which the pattern, traced on parchment, is laid, and pins passed through the parchment into the cushion at places determined by the pattern. She has also a number of bobbins on which the threads are wound, fine thread being used for the meshes or net. The work is b

It is among the histories of the machine that when it was introduced in Scotland, certain sensitive persons pronounced it an impious device, as it raised a wind when the Lord had made a calm This is another inflection of the old opposition that met Kepler and Galileo. Winnowing in Egypt (1500 B. C.） Fig. 7259 illustrates a machine, still in use, invented by Gooch of Northampton, England, in 1800. It embraces the important features of the more modern machines: the rotating fan, the shaking-riddle, and sieves for sorting the grain and separating extraneous matters. See also fanning-mill.

icious error, and that nothing which is really erroneous can be permanently beneficial to the best interests of mankind. The Unitarians claim the merit of being the only party who have acted uniformly and consistently on this just and enlightened principle. Some few of the academies established, partially at least, under the auspices of other sects, have, it is true, for awhile, and to a certain extent, followed the same plan. Among these honourable exceptions was that of Doddridge, at Northampton, and its successor at Daventry, under the conduct of Ashworth, Robins, and Belsham. But it is certainly not a little remarkable, that there is scarcely an instance of this kind which has not occasioned a considerable falling away from the rigour of genuine Calvinism, even among those who have remained nominally in the ranks of orthodoxy; while no small portion of the ingenuous youth, encouraged, or at least permitted, to examine both sides, and judge for themselves, have embraced some fo
