a vessel of two, three, on more masts and fore-and-aft-sails - г. e., extended on boom and gaff. The masts have but one splice, the topgallant, if any, forming part of the topmast stick When a schooner has none but fore-andaft sails, she is termed a fore-and-aft schooner; if carrying a square foretopsail and fore-topgallant sail, a topsail schooner. This latter rig, formerly common, has now become rare. Squarerigged vessels have also lower fore-andaft sails, denominated spencers or trysails, but these are small and are brailed up to the gaff when furled, instead of being lowered like those of a schooner.

ARTHUR, a German philosopher; born in Danzic, Feb. 22, 1788; son of Johanna Schopenhauer, the popular novelist and littérateur. He studie died at Göttingen, attended the lectures of Fichte at Berlin, spent some time at Weimar and Dresden, and led a very ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER restless life till 1831, when he settled at Frankfort-on-the-Main. He despised his countrymen and their_philosophies, and studied French and English literature and latterly Oriental religions. He became an enthusiast for Buddha and the Vedas, and enjoyed_tracing all Western accomplishments to Eastern sources. The principal work of Schopenhauer is entitled "The World as Will and Idea." It appeared in 1819, and after being neglected for many years attracted a good deal of attention and received some sharp criticism. The practical upshot of his system, which makes will the one sole reality, is intolerable melancholy, taking from man all that constitutes his greatness, his goodness, or his bliss. Godfuturity -the soul-mere names, illusions; s; and the world of men is to him hopelessly bad. The style is brilliant; but the general effect of the work on the average mind is depressing. He published several other works of philosophy, of which the most important is "The Two Sound Problems of Ethics." He died in Frankfort-on-the-Main, Sept. 21, 1860.
