=Hem´junah=, princess of Cassimir´, daughter of the Sultan Zebene´zer; betrothed at the age of 13 to the prince of Georgia. As Hemjunah had never seen the prince, she ran away to avoid a forced marriage, and was changed by Ulin, the enchanter, into a toad. In this form she became acquainted with Misnar, sultan of India, who had likewise been transformed into a toad by Ulin. Misnar was disenchanted by a dervise, and slew Ulin; whereupon the princess recovered her proper shape, and returned home. A rebellion broke out in Cassimir, but the “angel of death” destroyed the rebel army, and Zebenezer was restored to his throne. His surprise was unbounded when he found that the prince of Georgia and the sultan of India were one and the same person; and Hemjunah said, “Be assured, O Sultan, that I shall not refuse the hand of the prince of Georgia, even if my father commands my obedience.”—Sir C. Morell [J. Ridly] _Tales of the Genii_ (“Princess of Cassimir,” vii., 1751). =Hemlock.= Socratês _the Wise_ and Phocion _the Good_ were both by the Athenians condemned to death by hemlock juice, Socratês at the age of 70 (B.C. 399) and Phocion at the age of 85 (B.C. 317). =Hemps´kirke= (_2 syl._), a captain serving under Wolfort, the usurper of the earldom of Flanders.—Beaumont and Fletcher, _The Beggar’s Bush_ (1622). =Henderson= (_Rodney syl._), representative American who makes money by unscrupulous operations in stocks.—Charles Dudley Warner, _A Little Journey in the World_ (1889). _Henderson (Elias) syl._, chaplain at Lochleven Castle.—Sir W. Scott, _The Abbot_ (time, Elizabeth). =Henneberg= (_Count syl._). One day a beggar-woman asked Count Henneberg’s wife for alms. The countess twitted her for carrying twins, whereupon the woman cursed her, with the assurance that “her ladyship should be the mother of 365 children.” The legend says that the countess bore them at one birth, but none of them lived any length of time. All the girls were named _Elizabeth_, and all the boys _John_. They are buried, we are told, at the Hague. =Henrietta Maria=, widow of King Charles I., introduced in Sir W. Scott’s _Peveril of the Peak_ (1823). =Henrietta Street=, Cavendish Square, London, is so called in compliment to Henrietta Cavendish, daughter of John Holles, duke of Newcastle, and wife of Edward, second earl of Oxford and Mortimer. From these come “Edward Street,” “Henrietta Street,” “Cavendish Square,” and “Holles Street.”
