EDWARD (Prince of Wales, surnamed the Black Prince from the color of his armor), 1330-1376. "_I give thee thanks, O God, for all thy benefits, and with all the pains of my soul I humbly beseech thy mercy to give me remission of those sins I have wickedly committed against thee; and of all mortal men whom willingly or ignorantly I have offended, with all my heart I desire forgiveness._" EDWARDS (Jonathan, President of the College of New Jersey and one of the greatest of metaphysicians), 1703-1757. "_Trust in God and you need not fear_," to one who lamented his approaching death as a frown on the college and a heavy stroke to the church. The most awfully tremendous of all metaphysical divines is the American ultra-Calvinist, Jonathan Edwards, whose book on "Original Sin" I unhappily read when a very young man. It did me an irreparable mischief.--_An English author._ EGBERT (Col. Henry Clay), 1840-1899. "_Good-bye, General; I'm done. I'm too old_," said to Gen. Wheaton, who bending over the wounded officer, exclaimed. "Nobly done, Egbert!" Col. Egbert was killed near Manila in the war between the United States and the Philippines. In all his army service he was wounded four times before he received his death wound. He was accounted one of the most competent officers in the army, and in action it was said of him that the army had no officer more dashing, with the possible exception of Gen. Guy V. Henry, now in command of the United States forces in Porto Rico. He was a little man, not above five feet five inches, and weighed only about one hundred and ten pounds. He had reddish hair, streaked with gray, and wore a red mustache and imperial. In plain clothes he was most immaculate, and he was called the best dressed officer in the army. _N. Y. Daily Sun, March 27, 1899._ ELDON (John Scott, Earl, Lord Chancellor of England), 1750-1838. "_It matters not where I am going whether the weather be cold or hot_," to one who spoke to him about the weather. He was a bigoted admirer of the law, of which he was so consummate a master. Projects of law reform cut him to the soul, and he has been represented as shedding tears on the abolition of the punishment of death for stealing five shillings in a dwelling-house.--_Appleton's Cyclopaedia of Biography._ ELIOT (Rev. John, commonly called "The Apostle to the Indians"), 1604-1690. "_O Come in glory! I have long waited for Thy coming. Let no dark cloud rest on the work of the Indians. Let it live when I am dead. Welcome joy!_" ELIZABETH (Queen of England, and daughter of Henry VIII. by Anne Boleyn), 1533-1603. "_All my possessions for one moment of time._" Some give her last words thus: "I will have no rogue's son in my seat."
