Many years of hard work preceded his Appel, but the "Old Dove-cote" theatre was now ready to open. During the first season, Copeau kept his promises.

At 04:00 on 8 May, Roquebert realised that his overladen ships were too slow to outrun Hillyar's squadron, which was behind and gaining rapidly.

The portrait-busts of Harry Bates are good pieces of realism: strong, yet delicate in technique, and excellent in character. His statues have a picturesqueness in which the refinement of the sculptor is always felt. Among the chief of these are the fanciful Maharaja of Mysore, somewhat overladen with ornament, and the colossal equestrian statue of Lord Roberts (1896) upon its important pedestal, girdled with a frieze of figures, now set up in Calcutta, and a statue of Queen Victoria for Dundee. But perhaps his masterpiece—in which his interest in polychromy and mixed materials in a format that fused decorative art and sculpture achieved its fullest realization—was an allegorical presentment of Love and Life, a winged male figure in bronze, with a female figure in ivory being crowned by the male.

After the turn of the twentieth century, Vivian wrote a number of novels, some anonymously or using pseudonyms, which were met with mixed reviews. The Master Sinner was described in The Publisher's Circular as "unpleasant but clever", and in The Literary World as having a "style [which was] jerky and overladen with adjectives", but still "a readable book". Vivian wrote a number of travel books, the most well- known being Servia: The Poor Man’s Paradise, published in 1897, which was widely quoted in newspapers, including The New York Times, the Morning Post and Pearson's Weekly. In 1901, he wrote a book on European religious rituals with his wife Olive, which was described in the Sheffield Independent as "well written, curious and readable, and marred only by a singularly fatuous surrender to any form of superstition however grovelling".

On the day of the disaster a company (military unit) of the regiment, accompanied by women and children, wished to take passage into Harwich, but the regular ferry was far too small to take such a large number of people. A local ship owner who possessed a small 18-ton coastal vessel heard about the predicament and offered to take the whole party at a low fare. As the captain pushed off the beach near the fort, his grossly overladen vessel was hit by a sudden and strong gust of wind, which caught the sails and capsized the vessel, plunging the crew and passengers into the sea. Because many of the passengers could not swim and there was no passing shipping nearby, it was some time before rescuers could reach the site; by then only ten men were pulled alive from the sea.

4: "De episcopali audientia"; for the bishops of the Western Empire in the "Edicta Theoderici", cap. xiv (Mon. Germ. Leg., V). Closely allied with the right of episcopal intercession was the right of asylum or sanctuary ..., and the right and duty of the bishops to protect orphans, widows, and other unfortunates. Thus Theodoret, Bishop of Cyrus, interceded with Empress Pulcheria in behalf of the poor of his diocese, who were overladen with taxes; the Third Council of Carthage, held in 399, requested the emperor to accede to the wishes of the bishops by appointing advocates to plead the causes of the poor before the courts, while the Council of Mâcon, held in 585, forbade all civil authorities to begin judicial proceedings against widows and orphans without previously notifying the bishop of the diocese to which the accused belonged.

He and Harriet presided over a women's residence hall beginning in 1881. John Muir credits Professor Sterling for hearing Muir's personal appeal for admission to the school, since Muir did not formally have the educational background due to his work on the family farm in rural Marquette County. As Muir put it: > With fear and trembling, overladen with ignorance, I called on Professor > Stirling [sic], who was then Acting President, presented my case, and told > him how far I had got on with my studies at home, and that I hadn't been to > school since leaving Scotland at the age of eleven years, excepting one > short term of a couple of months at a district school, because I could not > be spared from the farm work. After hearing my story, the kind professor > welcomed me to the glorious University — next, it seemed to me, to the > Kingdom of Heaven.

Following her shows at the , and Dundee Contemporary Arts, Banner was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2002.

In 1821 Hoffmann von Fallersleben published the Bonn fragments of D. Modern critical editions start with that of Graff in 1831, who drew on all three complete MSS. While the Evangelienbuch represents a significant technical achievement, modern critics have generally been dismissive of its literary merits and J.G.Robertson's faint praise is typical: > While it is mainly to his adaptation of rhyme to German verse that Otfrid > owes his position in German literature, it would be unjust to deny him > altogether the possession of higher poetic powers. Overladen as his work is > with theological learning, and hampered, especially in the earlier part of > the poem, by technical difficulties, there are here and there in his verse > flashes of genuine lyric feeling which deserve to be lifted out of the dry > religious didacticism in which they are imbedded. The beauties of Otfrid, a volume published privately in 1936 by two future professors of German, consists of a brief introduction and 136 blank pages.

Kingsley wrote two books about her experiences: Travels in West Africa (1897), which was an immediate best-seller, and West African Studies (1899), both of which gained her respect and prestige within the scholarly community. Some newspapers, however, such as the Times under colonial editor Flora Shaw, refused to publish reviews of her works. Though some argue this is likely on the grounds that her beliefs countered the imperialistic intentions of the British Empire and the notion that Africans were inferior peoples, this is unlikely to explain her sometimes unfavorable reception, because she did support British traders and British indirect rule in Africa,. The notable success of Travels in West Africa was due in no small part to the vigour and droll humour of writing, that, in the guise of a ripping yarn, never wavers from its true purpose – to complete the work her father had left undone. Between poles of manifest wit and latent analysis Kingsley constructs in images – "… not an artist’s picture, but a photograph, an overladen with detail, colourless version" – a discourse of poetic thought; a phenomenon oft- noted in the texts of Walter Benjamin.
