he wrote: "A few years will put us all in the dust, and then it will be of more importance to me to have governed myself than to have governed the state."-In 1794 the difficulties between the United States and Great Britain, growing out of unsettled boundaries and the attacks of the latter power on American commerce, became so serious that war was imminent. To avoid this calamity President Washington resolved to send a special minister to London in hopes of bringing to an amicable arrangement the existing points of dispute. He wished to appoint Hamilton to this important office, but such was the animosity against him in the senate that his confirmation seemed dubious, and any treaty formed through his agency would be received with jealousy and disfavor. Under these circumstances Washington concluded to nominate Jay. "In point of revolutionary services," says Hildreth, "only the president himself stood upon higher ground; nor could any person except the vice-president (Adams) pretend to a place upon the same level. In lofty disinterestedness, in unyielding integrity, in superiority to the illusions of passion, no one of the great men of the revolution approached so near to Washington. Profound knowledge of the law, inflexible sense of justice, and solidity of judgment, had especially marked him out for the office which he held. Having played a very active part in a state, the seat of hostilities during the whole struggle of the revolution, he knew what war was, and dreaded it accordingly. One of the ministers who negotiated the treaty of peace, and afterward secretary of foreign affairs, he was perfectly familiar with all the grounds of controversy between the two nations. Though on questions of principle perfectly unyielding, in matters of interest and expediency he knew the wisdom of giving up a part rather than to risk the loss of the whole. The only serious objection to his appointment was his judicial station; but even that gave an additional dignity to the mission, and in a crisis so important the objection lost much of its weight." Jay's nomination was confirmed by the senate, by 18 votes to 8, the opposition being from the war party. He accepted the commission with reluctance and from a sense of duty. He was fully aware of the impossibility of negotiating a treaty that would satisfy all parties, and knew that if in the heated state of the public mind he consented to any practicable arrangement of the difficulties with Great Britain, he ran the most imminent risk of losing his popularity at home and of becoming the mark for unmeasured denunciation. The office of chief justice was exactly suited to his tastes and habits, and he was not desirous of exchanging it for the difficult embassy to England. "No appointment," he wrote to his wife, 66 ever operated more unpleasantly upon me; but the public considerations which were urged, and the manner in which it was pressed, strongly impressed me with the conviction that to refuse it would be to desert my duty for the sake of my ease and

domestic concerns and comforts." He embarked at New York, May 12, and reached London June 15. He was received with distinguished courtesy, and immediately entered into negotiations with Lord Grenville, the minister for foreign affairs, and a treaty was agreed upon, Nov. 19, 1794. It provided for constituting three boards of commissioners: one to determine the eastern boundary of the United States, by fixing on the river intended by the treaty of 1783 as the St. Croix; another to ascertain the amount of losses experienced by British subjects in consequence of legal impediments to the recovery of pre-revolutionary debts, that amount, when ascertained, to be paid by the United States; and a third to estimate the losses sustained by Americans from illegal captures by British cruisers, those losses to be paid by the British government. The amount subsequently recovered by Americans under this clause was $10,345,000. The western posts occupied by the British were to be surrendered on June 1, 1796. There was to be a reciprocity of inland trade and intercourse between the North American territories of the two nations, including the navigation of the Mississippi, the British also to be admitted into all American harbors, with the right to ascend all rivers to the highest port of entry; but this reciprocity did not extend to the admission of American vessels into British North American harbors or rivers. These articles were declared to be perpetual; the following were limited to two years after the termina tion of the war in Europe: American vessels were to be admitted into British ports in Europe and the East Indies on terms of equality with British vessels; Americans might trade to the British West Indies in vessels not exceeding 70 tons burden, but without the right to transport from America to Europe any of the principal colonial products; British vessels were to be admitted into American ports on the same terms as the most favored nation. Privateers were to give bonds to respond in any damages they might commit against neutrals. The list of articles contraband of war was to include, beside ammunition and warlike implements, all articles serving directly for the equipment of vessels, except unwrought iron and fir plank. No vessel entering a blockaded port was to be captured unless she had first been informed of the blockade and turned away. Neither nation was to allow enlistments within its territories by any third nation at war with the other; nor were the citizens or subjects of either to be allowed to accept commissions from such third nation, or to enlist in its service. The rest of the articles were similar to these, and were intended to preserve neutrality upon the ocean, and its observance in the American ports, so that neither French nor British privateers should be exclusively favored or supplied. A provision was made for the mutual surrender of fugitives from justice charged with murder or forgery. Jay returned to New York, May 28, 1795, and was received on landing by a great concourse

of people, who escorted him to his dwelling amid the ringing of bells and firing of cannon. The treaty was submitted to the senate on June 8, and on the 24th that body advised the president to ratify it, with the exception of the articles relating to the West India trade. It was published in Philadelphia on July 2, and caused a prodigious storm of popular excitement, clamor, and misrepresentation. The outcry had begun even before its publication, on the basis of imperfect abstracts of its contents. It was vehemently denounced as a pusillanimous surrender of American rights, and a shameful breach of our obligations to France. Great meetings were held against it in all the principal cities. Copies of it were publicly burned by mobs in New York, Philadelphia, Charleston, and other places. An attempt was made at Philadelphia to burn Jay in effigy on the 4th of July, which came near producing a serious riot. Washington, unmoved by all this clamor, though, as he wrote to Randolph, he considered the crisis the most important and dangerous that had yet occurred in his administration, ratified the treaty on Aug. 14. This, however, did not quiet the agitation. Some of the Boston democrats paraded the streets of that town with an effigy of Jay, which they finally burned. They also attacked the house of a federalist editor, but were fired on and repulsed. On the other hand, the treaty, Jay's treaty as it was familiarly called, was defended with energy by the federalists. Hamilton wrote in the newspapers a series of articles in its vindication, whose eloquent ability commanded the admiration even of his enemies. Many public meetings also were held in support of the ratification of the treaty, and the Boston chamber of commerce passed a resolution in favor of it, with only one dissenting voice, while a memorial taking the same ground was numerously signed by the merchants of Philadelphia. In the house of representatives Fisher Ames made his greatest speech in defence of the treaty, and in favor of passing the laws necessary to give it effect. He said: The honor of the United States was saved, not forfeited, by treating. The treaty itself, by its stipulations for the posts, for indemnity, and for a due observance of our neu-. tral rights, bas justly raised the character of the nation." After a long struggle the resolution that it was expedient to pass the laws necessary for carrying the treaty into effect was agreed to by a vote of 58 to 51, only 4 New England members voting against it, and from the states south of the Potomac only 4 for it. Jay himself, amid all this excitement and obloquy, preserved his equanimity, and relied upon the ultimate judgment of his countrymen. He wrote to the Rev. Dr. Thacher: "The approbation of one judicious and virtuous man relative to the conduct of the negotiations in which I was lately engaged, affords me more satisfaction than all the clamors raised on that subject by intrigue and passion have given me concern."-During his absence in England his friends had put

him in nomination as candidate for governor of New York, without his knowlege or consent. He was elected by a large majority, and the result was officially declared two days before he reached New York. The term of service being then 3 years, his administration, by reëlection, lasted 6 years, during which time he dismissed no one from office on account of his political opinions. On one occasion he was urged to remove a member of his own party who had no influence, to make room for one of the opposite party who had much influence, and, if appointed to the office in question, would exert himself in Jay's behalf. "And do you, sir," said the governor to the person who proposed this, "advise me to sell a friend that I may buy an enemy?" In 1799 the legislature passed an act for the gradual abolition of slavery, a measure which Jay had much at heart. He had strenuously urged in 1777, upon the convention which formed the constitution of New York, the insertion of an article recommending the future legislature to take effectual measures to abolish slavery, "so that in future ages every human being who breathes the air of this state shall enjoy the privileges of a freeman." In a letter written while in Spain in 1780 to Egbert Benson of New York, he said: "An excellent law might be made out of the Pennsylvania one for the gradual abolition of slavery. Till America comes into this measure, her prayers to Heaven for liberty will be impious. This is a strong expression, but it is just. Were I in your legislature, I would prepare a bill for the purpose with great care, and I would never cease moving it till it became a law, or I ceased to be a member. I believe God governs the world, and I believe it to be a maxim in his, as in our court, that those who ask for equity ought to do it.' In 1785 he became the president of a society formed in New York "for promoting the manumission of slaves, and protecting such of them as have been or may be liberated." He continued at the head of this society till he became chief justice of the United States, when, thinking it possible that questions might be brought before him in which the society was interested, he deemed it proper to dissolve his official connection with it. In Nov. 1800, as the end of his second term approached, he was solicited to become a candidate for reëlection. He declined, declaring that he had determined to renounce public employment and spend the rest of his days in retirement. A little more than a month later, in December, he was nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate to his former favorite office, the chief justiceship of the United States, made vacant by the resignation of Oliver Ellsworth on account of ill health. He firmly declined the honor, and at the age of 56 bade adieu for ever to public life. He retired to his paternal estate at Bedford, comprising 800 acres in a secluded part of Westchester co., 50 miles from New York. Here he lived for 29 years in the serene enjoyment of domestic and rural pursuits, interrupted only by

the death of Mrs. Jay in 1802. "He was very regular and exact in all his habits," says Mr. Flanders. "He rose with the sun, had his meals served with punctuality, and passed most of the day in the open air and on horseback. Family worship was regularly observed, morning and evening, and was neither postponed nor suspended from the presence of company. He usually retired to rest about ten." Jay himself, writing to a friend, says: "I attend every election even for town officers, and, having delivered my ballot, return home without having mingled in the crowd or participated in their altercations. The fact is, that I live very much as I have long wished to do. I have a pleasant situation and very good neighbors. I enjoy peace and a competency proportionate to my comforts and moderate desires; with such a residue of health as, while it constantly whispers memento mori, still permits me to see my friends with cheerfulness and pleasure." He took great interest in the religious movements of his day, and was president of several religious societies. He was a member of the Episcopal church, but when applied to readily contributed to the erection of churches of other denominations. In 1827 he was seized with a severe illness, and, after two years of weakness and suffering, was struck with palsy, May 14, 1829, and died 3 days afterward. He is thus described by Mr. Sullivan as he appeared at the age of 44: "His height was a little less than 6 feet; his person rather thin, but well formed. His complexion was without color, his eyes black and penetrating, his nose aquiline, and his chin pointed. His hair came over his forehead, was tied behind, and lightly powdered. His dress black. The expression of his face was exceedingly amiable. When standing, he was a little inclined forward, as is not uncommon with students long accustomed to bend over a table. His manner was very gentle and unassuming." This description is said to be accurate, with the exception that his eyes were blue instead of black. In character Jay was eminent for the elevation and purity of his principles and conduct both in public and in private life. He was modest, claimed no merit, assumed no importance, and seldom alluded to the great events of his life. He had a high sense of justice and of humanity, and a profound feeling of religion. He was tenacious in his friendships and in his convictions. Having once had good cause to doubt a man's integrity, he never after trusted him. His disposition was cheerful, and his conversation instructive and entertaining. His mind was vigorous, exact, and logical, and characterized rather by judgment and discrimination than by brilliancy. The Bible was his constant study, and Cicero his favorite author. His public reputation as a patriot and statesman of the revolution was second only to that of Washington, and his private character as a man and a Christian is singularly free from stain or blemish. WILLIAM, an American jurist and philanthropist, son of the preceding, born in New York,

June 16, 1779, died at Bedford, N. Y., Oct. 14, 1858. He received his early education at Albany, and was graduated at Yale college in 1807. He studied law at Albany, but having injured his eyes by intense study was compelled to relinquish the practice of the profession and to retire to Bedford, where he assisted in the management of the large landed estate, which descended to him on the death of his father in 1829. In 1815 he began that active career of philanthropic effort in which he continued till his death. He was one of the principal founders of the American Bible society, and was its recognized champion against the attacks of Bishop Hobart and other members of the Episcopal church, to which Jay himself belonged, during a controversy which lasted many years, and excited a wide interest. As president of the Westchester Bible society he delivered a long series of annual addresses." He was an early and consistent advocate of the temperance reform, for the promotion of which he organized a society in 1815. He also took an active part in the tract, missionary, and educational movements of the day, and was frequently president of the Sunday school and agricultural societies of his county. In 1818 he was appointed a judge of the court of common pleas, and in 1820 was made the first judge of Westchester co., which office he held till 1842, when he was superseded on account of his antislavery opinions. His opinions in relation to duelling, intemperance, prize fighting, and the abolition of slavery in New York, were freely expressed in his judicial charges; and in 1895. when the legislature had in contemplation a law restricting freedom of speech on the subject of slavery, he advised the grand jury that it would be the duty of every citizen to resist such a law as a violation of the constitution. In 1835 Judge Jay, on behalf of the executive committee of the American anti-slavery society, prepared in reply to the current charges against the abolitionists a vindication of their principles, in which he said: "We have uniformly deprecated all forcible attempts on the part of the slaves to recover their liberty;" "denied that they had employed agents in the South, and disclaimed all wish for the dissolution of the Union. In the same year he published a work entitled "An Inquiry into the Character of the American Colonization and Anti-Slavery Societies," which passed through several editions in this country, and was republished in England with a preface by the Rev. Dr. Morrison In 1888 he published "A View of the Action of the Federal Government in behalf of Slavery." His opposition to slavery was strongly manifested throughout his life, and by his will he left a special bequest of $1,000 for "promoting the safety and comfort of fugitive slaves." I 1843-4 he visited Europe, and proceeded thence to Egypt, where he made the acquaintance of Sir Gardner Wilkinson, in conjunction with whom he investigated the subject of Egyptian slavery. Judge Jay was for some years pres

ident of the American peace society, and in 1848 published a volume entitled "War and Peace: the Evils of the First, with a Plan for suppressing the Last," which was reprinted by the London peace society. His plan consisted in treaty stipulations for the settlement of differences by arbitration. The committee on foreign relations of the U. S. senate, to whom a memorial on the subject was referred, reported in favor of his plan; and Mr. Cobden wrote to him: "If your government is prepared to insert an arbitration clause in the pending treaties, I am confident that it will be accepted by our negotiators." His publications on all subjects were 43 in number, many of which were widely circulated, and exercised much influence on public opinion. His largest work was the "Life and Writings of John Jay" (2 vols. 8vo., New York, 1833). "In his private character," said the New York "Evening Post," in noticing his death, "Mr. Jay was an example worthy of all imitation-a model of personal excellence. In public life he was one of the purest and most conscientious men of the country, abhorring the very shadow of indirection. He was an able judge, and as a controversialist he showed a skill which made it unpleasant to measure weapons with him." A memoir of him is in preparation (1860) by his son, John Jay.

JAY, WILLIAM, D.D., an English dissenting divine and writer, born in Tisbury, Wiltshire, May 8, 1769, died in Bath, Dec. 27, 1853. The son of a stone-cutter, he began life as his father's apprentice, and was employed in building Beckford's mansion at Fonthill. His talents attracted the attention of the Rev. Cornelius Winter of Marlborough (dissenting) academy, under whose protection and direction he prepared for the Congregational ministry. His first important sphere of labor was at Hope chapel, near Bristol. From thence he removed in 1789 to Argyle chapel in Bath, where he officiated till 1852. As a preacher he not only enjoyed a high celebrity in his own denomination, but won the applause of critics like John Foster, Sheridan, and Beckford. His published sermons are esteemed as well for their catholic spirit as their practical earnestness and simplicity of style. They have passed through several editions, and beside them he wrote an "Essay on Marriage,' "Memoirs of the Rev. Cornelius Winter, ""Memoirs of the Rev. John Clark," "Lectures on Female Scripture Characters" (1854), “Morning and Evening Exercises" (4 vols., 1854). His earlier works were collected in 12 vols. (Bath, 1845-'9; republished in 3 vols., New York). In 1841, at the jubilee of his settlement in Bath, a salver and £650 were presented to him. His autobiography, drawn up for his children in the form of letters, and with a supplement by the editors, the Rev. Dr. Redford and the Rev. J. A. James, appeared in 1854. JAYADEVA, a Hindoo poet, who lived about the middle of the 12th century. The only poem of his extant is that in honor of the Hindoo deity Govinda, or Krishna. It is a species VOL. IX.-48

of pastoral drama, in which the loves of the god and his inamorata Râdha are described in very impassioned language. There is an English translation of it by Sir William Jones.

JAZIKOFF (properly YAZIKOFF), NICOLAI, a Russian poet, born in Simbirsk about 1805, died in Moscow, Jan. 7, 1847. He studied at Dorpat, established himself at Moscow as teacher in 1823, and subsequently served in the public survey office of the latter city. Having resigned his situation, he lived for some time in his native town, and toward the close of his life in Germany. Among his best productions are the "Glow-bird," the "Earthquake," and various "Psalms."

JAZYGES, or IAZYGES, a tribe belonging to the numerous nationalities comprehended during the earlier period of the Roman empire under the name of Sarmatians, dwelt originally on the northern shores of the Black sea and sea of Azof. In the time of the emperor Claudius they emigrated westward and established themselves in Dacia in the neighborhood of the Quadi, with whom they formed an alliance, and together with whom they frequently attacked the Roman provinces on the Danube. In the 5th century they were conquered by the Goths, and subsequently disappeared as a people, being lost chiefly among the Magyars, the new conquerors of their western home. They, however, reappeared as a Magyarized tribe (Hun. Jászok) at a later period, when their possessions between the Danube and Theiss formed a separate central district of Hungary under the name of Jazygia (Jászság). This fertile region was united with Cumania, and was, down to 1849, under the special administration of the palatine, who also bore the title of captain of the Jazyges and Cumanians. It now belongs to the circle of Pesth; capital, Jászberény.

JEAN DE MONTFORT. See MONTFORT. JEAN SANS PEUR. See BURGUNDY. JEBAIL, DJEBAIL, or DJEBEL, a town of Syria, built on an eminence near the Mediterranean, at the foot of Mt. Lebanon; pop. about 600. It is walled on the land side, contains large gardens, a strongly built castle, an old Maronite church, and a mosque. It is supposed to be the Byblus of the ancients, often mentioned as a city of Phoenicia, between Tripolis and Berytus, the modern Tarablus and Beyroot. In the Scriptures it is called Gebal, a word signifying mountain. Its territory is called the land of the Giblites (Josh. xiii. 5); and its inhabitants are mentioned among the builders of the Phoenician king Hiram, who assisted King Solomon in building the temple of Jerusalem. In the English Bible they are spoken of as stone squarers (1 Kings v. 18). Its elders and wise men are mentioned as calkers of Tyre, in the time of its glory (Ezek. xxvii. 9). It is said to be the birthplace of Adonis. The harbor of Jebail was destroyed during the wars of the crusaders, who captured the town and kept it as long as they maintained their power in Syria. -Another Gebal is mentioned in the Scriptures,

a mountainous region S. of the Dead sea, the Djebâl of the Arabs, the Gebalene of the Greeks, and probably the Syria Sabal of the crusaders. JEDDO. See YEDDO.
