Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Biography, or Lives of the Most Eminent Persons of All Ages, Countries, Conditions, and Professions, Vol. 8: Arranged According to Alphabetical Order; Part Two Psammitichus, King of Egypt, was a noble of the tribe of Sais, and the son of Ecus, who was put to death by Sabbaco on his con quest of Egypt. He avoided his father's fate by flying into Syria; and after the death of King Serhou was one of twelve lords who as sumed the government of the country, and divided it between them. The part which fell to his lot was the sea-coast; and as, from its marshy quality, it was one of the least valua ble portions, he was induced to cultivate com merce with the Phoenicians, Greeks, and other nations, by which he acquired great wealth, and many foreign connexions. His prosperity excited the envy of his colleagues, who made war upon him; but by the assistance of fo reign mercenaries, or allies, he proved superior, and finally subdued them, and made himself sole monarch of Egypt, after the divided go vernment had subsisted 15 years. This event is dated B. C. 670. He rewarded his allies with lands upon the Nile, and from this era a Grecian colony subsisted in Egypt, which maintained an intercourse with their country men, and rendered the transactions of that kingdom a part of genuine history. Psammi tichus carried on war in Syria, where he be sieged the city of Azotus, which is said to have resisted his arms for the space of 29 years. The preference he gave to foreign soldiers caused the defection of a great body of his own subjects, who marched away to the con fines of Ethiopia, where they formed a settle ment. In order to repair this loss, he attended still more assiduously to the advancement of commerce, and opened his ports to all strangers. He also renewed and extended his alliances with the Athenians and Other Greeks. When the Scythians, who had over-run Asia, were preparing to invade Egypt, he met them in Syria, and by presents and soothing words pre vailed on them to march back. After a long and prosperous reign of 54 years, Psammiti chus died, and was interred in the temple of Bubastis, at Sais. He was the founder of se ve'ral magnificent edifices, and is said to have introduced the culture of the vine in Egypt, and to have sent an expedition for discovering the sources of the Nile.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Biography, or Lives of the Most Eminent Persons of All Ages, Countries, Conditions, and Professions: Arranged According to Alphabetical Order None appear to us to have a more decisive claim' to bio graphical notice than imam/01's; including 1n the class all who, hv the cxercise of their faculties in an original path, have (litrablv added to the stock of valuable products of human skill and ingenuity. Perhaps, in the history of the human mind, there is nothing more curious than to trace the operations of an inventive talent, working its way, often without any foreign aid, and deriving from its own resources the means of overcoming the successive difficulties which thwart its progress. It is in such a process that the distinguishing powers bestowed upon' man are most surprisingly exerted, and that the superiority of one individual over the -common mass is most luminously displayed. How much higher, as an intellectual being, does a Brindley rank, directing the complex machinery of a canal, which he himself has invented, than an Alexander at the head of his army! A Newton, who employed the most exquisite powers of invention on the sublimest objects, has attained a point in the scale of mental pre-eminence, which perhaps no known mortal ever. Surpassed. Between invention and nil/movement no precise line can be drawn. In reality, almost all the great discoveries in art or science have arrived at perfection through the gradual advances given to them by successive improvers, who have exercised a greater or less degree of invention on the subject. When the addition made has been something considerable, the i'mprover seems to have a just title to have his name perpetuated; and accordingly we have been careful not to omitrecording every person, of whom it may be said, that any of the nobler pursuits of the human mind received from his labours a conspicuous advancement. The attainment of uncommon excellence in any particular walk, though not attended with what can strictly be called improvement, may be regarded as a just cause for commemoration; since it implies a vigorous exertion of the faculties, and affords animating examples of the possibility of effecting extraordinary things.
