 Newman Reader - Idea of a University - Part 2 - Article 2
The words used have the grandeur, the majesty, the calm, unimpassioned beauty of Science; they are in no sense Literature, they are in no sense personal; and therefore they are easy to apprehend, and easy to translate.
The man of thought comes to the man of words; and the man of words, duly instructed in the thought, dips the pen of desire into the ink of devotedness, and proceeds {278} to spread it over the page of desolation.
Now this doctrine will become clearer by considering another use of words, which does relate to objective truth, or to things; which relates to matters, not personal, not subjective to the individual, but which, even were there no individual man in the whole world to know them or to talk about them, would exist still.

 Ploughshares, the literary journal
Word(s) is Germanic, but vocabulary is Latinate, and wordiness a mix of a Germanic root word with a Latinate suffix.
No wonder then that English has few Germanic words that refer to the intellectual life, virtually none for concepts in the sciences, and in the case of the arts, only for their simplest forms and aspects.
The words countries and oceans have connotations of geographic entity, while lands and seas have an additional generic sense of earth and water.

 Household Words
Household Words betrays itself as a Shakespearean allusion in its full title: "Familiar in their mouths as Household Words" (Henry V, Act IV, Scene iii, line, 52 --in the young monarch's famous "Saint Crispin's day" speech).
Charles Dickens and his London publishers, Bradbury and Evans, founded ÊHousehold Words as a weekly magazine with the purpose "to show to all, that in all familiar things, even those which are repellant on the surface, there is Romance enough, if we will find it out" ("Preliminary Word" 1).
After he separated from his wife of three decades, Catherine, in May 1858, there began to circulate rumour of adultery, which Dickens attempted to quash by offering a full-page defence in the 12 June 1858 issue.

 Periodization of the Romance Lexical Borrowings
The English language was influenced profoundly by Latin and French, mainly in its vocabulary (about 72% of the Modern English words are of Romance origin), and also in its grammar.
Latin words have also been adopted to English through Norman French in the Third Period and through Modern French and Modern Italian in the Modern Period.
Because of French relationship to Latin, the French words are considered along with those drawn from Latin itself (often more learned, and first found in written language).

 THE GENETIC CODE IS THE GENESIS WORD IN THE BOOK OF LIFE
The Bible says that the WORD OF GOD is also enclosed in a package, and this package is called "THE ARK OF THE COVENANT." It is strange that a living "cells design," which is the basic unit of all life on earth, is patterned after THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.
In other words what this book is really saying is that these cells of life, receive and obey unseen forces that are spiritual (cosmic) in nature.
Of, relating to, consisting of, or having the nature of spirit; NOT TANGIBLE OR MATERIAL.

 Charles Dickens
Though aiming primarily at middle-class readers, Dickens made its mission "raising up of those that are down" and teaching "the hardest workers …that their lot is not necessarily a moody, brutal fact, excluded from the sympathies and graces of imagination."
In addition to the works mentioned in the above article Dickens wrote many Christmas stories (in Household Words, 1850-58, and All the Year Round, 1859-67) and four Christmas books: The Chimes (1844); The Cricket on the Hearth (1845); The Battle of Life (1846); and The Haunted Man (1848).
Dickens did parliamentary reporting for the True Sun, 1832; the Mirror of Parliament, 1832-33; and the Morning Chronicle, 1834-6.

 Henry Morley
A veritable Harold Bloom of his times, he edited over three hundred volumes of literary texts, which were issued in series as "Morley's Universal Library" and "Cassell's National Library," giving the English middle classes convenient compendia of the classics and forming a key moment in the canon formation of English literature as a whole.
Dickens was, as the "conductor" of Household Words, sometimes a stern taksmaster, making numerous revisions and additions to Morley's contributions, but Morley maintained good relations with him until Dickens's death in 1870.
Henry Morley was, among other things, a physician, the conductor of a school, the first Professor of English Literature, and a longtime writer and editor for Charles Dickens's magazine Household Words.

 New Fiction
Although her refusal to compromise sometimes bears a faint whiff of castor oil, Silber achieves a frighteningly vivid portrait of smug, middle-class provincialism.
Rhoda's myopia permeates every corner of the novel (one family, we're told, keeps pets "in their permissive Gentile way"), and Silber never indulges in an ironic aside or the soaring lyricism John Updike permitted himself when depicting the similarly parochial Harry Angstrom.
Household Words is a cult classic among fiction writers, perhaps because Silber rigorously examines her character's pinched and often unpleasant perspective with a near monastic purity.

Having been frustrated by the interference of publishers when editing Bentley's Miscellany, Master Humphrey's Clock and the Daily News, Dickens determined that he would have a free hand on Household Words.

 "Vampyres" from Household Words
The notes from which this story is derived, were made by the Sarjeant from what he himself heard on the trial.
Having been frustrated in one of his knavish designs, and seeing no further chance open to him, Thorolf returned home one evening, mad with rage and vexation, and, refusing to partake of any supper, sat down at the head of the table like a stone statue, and so remained without stirring or speaking a word.
The word Brucolac, we are told, is derived from two modern Greek words signifying, respectively, "mud" and "a ditch," because the graves of the Vampyres were generally found full of mud.

 All the Year Round
In 1973 the tireless Ann Lohrli provided scholars with a complete key to who wrote what and for how much in Household Words thanks to her scrupulous analysis of the office account book maintained by Wills.
Unfortunately, the account book for All the Year Round has not survived.
Dickens himself contributed barely one third of the essays he had contributed to Household Words, largely because he spent more and more time on the road and his public readings brought him into much closer contact -- so essential to him -- with his public than his columns did.

 Discovering Dickens - A Community Reading Project
The appearance of "Ground in the Mill" in this number illustrates how Dickens used his editorship of Household Words to keep the themes of his novel before the eyes of his readers, even at times when he was not directly developing those themes in the fictional text.
The contrasting subject matter serves to underscore the main themes of the novel and helps Dickens to develop his major points, despite the constricted space he had to work with in the installments of the novel.
Although we have not yet met any laborers in Hard Times, Dickens makes the difficult lives of the working poor a major theme in his novel.

However Dickens reconsidered his plan after the magazine's circulation dropped.
