Background
HOPE, Robert Charles was born in 1855 in Derby.
(Holy Wells, Rivers, Springs, and Lakes of England is the ...)
Holy Wells, Rivers, Springs, and Lakes of England is the first systematic attempt made. It has been said there is no book in any language which treats of Holy Wells, except in a most fragmentary and discursive manner. It is hoped, therefore, that this may prove the foundation of an exhaustive work, at some future date, by a more competent hand. The subject is almost inexhaustible, and, at the same time, a most interesting one. There is probably no superstition of bygone days that has held the minds of men more tenaciously than that of well-worship in its broadest sense, a worship simple and more dignified than a senseless crouching before idols. An honest endeavour has been made to render the work as accurate as possible, and to give the source of each account, where such could be ascertained. That sins of omission and of commission may herein be found it is not denied, but they are, it is hoped, few and far between. No attempt has been made at scientific classification or arrangement other than the placing of the wells under their respective counties. Until those of Scodand, Wales, and I reland have been collected, such a course would seem premature. Should this work be favourably received, it is proposed to issue at no distant date similar collections of the Holy Wells, etc., inS cotland, Wales, and I reland. The writer will be very grateful for any traditions or superstitions connected therewith, also any photographs or sketches illustrating the same for use and incorporation in the collections.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896. Excerpt: ... INTRODUCTION. After the revolution 1867-1868 the Buddhist religion was disestablished and disendowed, ancient art in Japan thereby received a crushing below from which it can now never quite recover. Being deprived of their revenues many fine Temples have already fallen into absolute ruin, and others are in a bad state of decay from want of care and necessary repairs. The government has at last awakened to the fact that if assistance is not soon rendered, very little of the fine museums of most that is best of the fine arts of old Japan will soon have vanished. We are glad to know that before the close of the last session parliament had voted a grant for the repair of the Buddhist Temples, and we may now hope to see them kept in the same way as has been the case with the less interesting,--because devoid of all ornament---Shinto Shrines. The Temples and Shrines are now under the care and supervision of a special governmental department called "The Naimusho" or Home Office. May the day be not far distant when the devotions of the nation shall be directed to the only one true living all-seeing all-knowing all-loving God--the God of the Christians, instead of to the senseless lifeless images of wood, stone and metal the base works of idolatrous, men. In viewing the Temples and Shrines it will be noticed that with the exception of the Elephant, when any two Birds, Beasts Fishes, or Reptiles whether fabulous or not are represented facing each other, one-usually that on the right--has its mouth open, while that of the other one is closed, typifying the active and passive. "Tombs formed of a cube supporting a sphere which bears a pyramid having a shallow square cup with four crescent edges and tilted corners on it, and in the cup a pyriform body poised with the ...

"[...]when he was but partially covered by the disease, and yet, when he was wholly covered with it, he should be “clean.” That no argument in support of contagion can be drawn simply from the sentence of expulsion from the camp, is evident from Numbers v., 2-4; for Lepers, and non-Lepers, are equally excluded on the ground of “uncleanness.” The laws of seclusion applied as rigorously to the uncleanness induced by touching a leper, or even[...]".
