Thomas Jewsbury, a See also:Manchester See also:merchant, was See also:born in 1812 at Measham, See also:Derbyshire. Her first novel, Zoe: the See also:History of Two Lives, was published in 1845, and was followed by The See also:Half Sisters (1848), Marian Withers (1851), See also:Constance See also:Herbert (1855), The Sorrows of Gentility (1856), Right or Wrong (18J9). In 185o she was invited by See also:Charles. See also:Dickens to write for See also:Household Words; for many years she was a frequent contributor to the See also:Athenaeum and other See also:journals and magazines. It is, however, mainly on See also:account of her friendship with Thomas See also:Carlyle and his wife that her name is remembered. Carlyle described her, after their first See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting in 1841, as " one of the most interesting See also:young See also:women I have seen for years; clear delicate sense and courage looking out of her small See also:sylph-like figure." From this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time till Mrs Carlyle's See also:death in 1866, Geraldine See also:Jews-See also:bury was the most intimate of her See also:friends. The selections from Geraldine Jewsbury's letters to Jane Welsh Carlyle (1892, ed. Mrs See also:Alexander See also:Ireland) prove how confidential were the relations
between the two women for a See also:quarter of a See also:century. In 1854 See also:Miss Jewsbury removed from Manchester to See also:London to be near her friend. To her Carlyle turned for sympathy when his wife died; and at his See also:request she wrote down some " See also:biographical anecdotes " of Mrs Carlyle's childhood and See also:early married See also:life. Carlyle's comment was that " few or none of these narratives are correct in details, but there is a certain mythical truth in all or most of them;" and he added, " the Geraldine accounts of her (Mrs Carlyle's) childhood are substantially correct." He accepted them as the groundwork for his own See also:essay on " Jane Welsh Carlyle," with which they were therefore incorporated by See also:Froude when editing Carlyle's Reminiscences. Miss Jewsbury was consulted by See also:Fronde when he was preparing Carlyle's See also:biography, and her recollection of her friend's confidences See also:con-firmed the suspicion that Carlyle had on one occasion used See also:physical violence towards his wife. Miss Jewsbury further informed Froude that the See also:secret of the domestic troubles of the Carlyles See also:lay in the fact that Carlyle had been " one of those persons who ought never to have married," and that Mrs Carlyle had at one time contemplated having her See also:marriage legally an-nulled (see My Relations with Carlyle, by See also:- JAMES

The endeavour has been made to discredit Miss Jews-bury in relation to this See also:matter, but there seems to be no sufficient ground for doubting that she accurately repeated what she had learnt from Mrs Carlyle's own lips. Miss Jewsbury died in London on the 23rd of See also:September 1880.

JEW'S See also:HARP, or JEw's Thump (Fr. guimbarde, O. Fr. trompe, gronde; Ger. Mundharmonica, Maultrommel, Brummeisen; Ital. scaccia-pensieri or spassa-pensiero), a small musical See also:instrument of percussion, known for centuries all over See also:Europe. " Jew's See also:trump " is the older name, and " trump " is still used in parts of See also:Great See also:Britain. Attempts have been made to derive " Jew's " from " jaws " or Fr. jeu, but, though there is no apparent See also:reason for associating the instrument with the Jews, it is certain that " Jew's " is the See also:original See also:form (see the New English See also:Dictionary and C. B. See also:Mount in Notes and Queries (Oct. 23, 1897, p. 322). The instrument consists of a slender See also:tongue of See also:steel riveted at one end to the See also:base of a See also:pear-shaped steel See also:loop;the other end of the tongue, See also:left See also:free and passing out between the two branches of the See also:frame, terminates in a See also:sharp See also:bend at right angles, to enable the player to depress it by an elastic See also:blow and thus set it vibrating while firmly pressing the branches of the frame against his See also:teeth. The vibrations of the steel tongue produce a See also:compound See also:sound composed of a fundamental and its harmonics. By using the cavity of the mouth as a resonator, each See also:harmonic in See also:succession can be isolated and reinforced, giving the instrument the See also:compass shown. The See also:lower harmonics of the See also:series cannot be

obtained, owing to the limited capacity of the resonating cavity. The See also:black notes on the stave show the See also:scale which may be produced by using two harps, one tuned a See also:fourth above the other. The player on the Jew's harp, in See also:- ORDER

order to isolate the harmonics, frames his mouth as though intending to pronounce the various vowels. At the beginning of the 19th century, when much See also:energy and ingenuity were being expended in all countries upon the invention of new musical See also:instruments, the Maultrofnnlel, re-christened Mundharmonica (the most rational of all its names), attracted See also:attention in See also:Germany. Heinrich Scheibler devised an ingenious holder with a handle, to contain
five Jew's harps, all tuned to different notes; by holding one in each See also:hand, a large compass, with duplicate notes, became avail-able; he called this complex Jew's harp See also:Aura' and with it played themes with See also:variations, See also:marches, Scotch reels, &c. Other virtuosi, such as Eulenstein, a native of Wurtemberg, achieved the same result by placing the variously tuned Jew's harps upon the table in front of him, taking them up and setting them down as required. Eulenstein created a sensation in London in 1827 by playing on no fewer than sixteen Jew's harps. In 1828 See also:Sir Charles See also:Wheatstone published an essay on the technique of the instrument in the Quarterly See also:Journal of See also:Science. (K.
