John Neal

John Neal (August 25, 1793 – June 20, 1876), was an author and art/literary critic. He was a man of diverse talents and objectives, many of which were pioneering in his day. For example, he is credited as being the first American author to employ colloquialism in his writing, breaking with more formal traditions in literature. However, he was also undisciplined and often rambling, so despite its period significance, his literary work has drifted into obscurity. He was also an early women's rights advocate, prohibitionist, temperance advocate, opponent of dueling, accomplished lawyer, boxer, and architect.

Boyhood, young adulthood, and early business

Born in a yellow frame house on Free Street at the corner of South Street in Portland, Maine of Quaker parents, he attended school until the age of twelve whereupon he entered into business. For nine years he made a living as haberdasher, clerk, dry goods dealer, traveling penmanship tutor, and miniature artist, among other things, before entering law school in Baltimore, Maryland in 1815. Neal supported himself while in school by writing for local periodicals, and he helped found a literary society, The Delphian Club. Neal wrote for and eventually edited the journal the Delphians created—a short-lived but influential and admired monthly journal titled The Portico. In short time, he turned to novels and poetry, publishing six novels and two epic poems (under the pseudonymous 'clubicular' name, "Jehu O'Cataract," a nickname given to him by the Delphians because of his rapid production). He was proud of the speed with which he threw off his volumes, often taking only a week to finish an entire novel. He wrote during this stage in his life that, "I shall write, as others drink, for exhilaration." Neal left for England in late 1823.

John Neal (politician)

His Honour John Neal MC (17 August 1889 – 8 September 1962) was a British Judge and Liberal Party politician.

Background

He was the son of Arthur Neal MP, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport and Annie Elizabeth Neal. He was educated at Leys School, Cambridge and King’s College, Cambridge. He married, in 1940, Rosemary Young. They had three sons.

War 1914–1918

At the age of 25 he volunteered at the outbreak of war. He served in the European War with the RNVR, then in France with the Royal Artillery as a Major. He was awarded the Military Cross 1914–15 Star.

Political career

In 1922 at the age of 33, Neal followed his father into politics, also as a supporter of Prime Minister David Lloyd George. He was National Liberal candidate for the Wansbeck Division of Northumberland at the 1922 General Election. This was a seat that the Liberals had held in 1918 with the help of the official endorsement from the Coalition Government. However, by 1922 the Unionists had ended the coalition and a Unionist candidate intervened in Wansbeck. While Neal still retained the endorsement of David Lloyd George and his organisation, he did not have the support of the Liberal party led by H. H. Asquith who also intervened in Wansbeck. Unsurprisingly, the seat was lost with Neal finishing third in a field of four. In 1923 following reunion between the Lloyd George and Asquith factions, Neal was selected as Liberal candidate for the Barnsley Division of Yorkshire at the 1923 General Election. A National Liberal had come close to winning in 1922 but by 1923, the Unionists chose to intervene in the contest and Neal was edged into third place.

With Welsh clubs now able to qualify for the European Cup Winners Cup by winning the Welsh Cup, and following Wrexham winning the Welsh Cup, Neal in 1972 took Wrexham to the second round of the European Cup Winners Cup, where Wrexham held the Yugoslavian side Hajduk Split 3-3, but lost on the away goals rule.

    Famous quotes by John Neal:

    "J.D. very seldom has a bad practice,"
    "He sees things instantly, and I think he's starting to see the game slow, like all great players do. And he's a finisher and a playmaker, just one fantastic football player right now."
    "It's being able to see things, see all the reads and keys, distribute it all in your mind and make a positive decision. And he's nearly always right. And that separates him from almost everybody. And that's what all great players can do, in any sport. He's reaching those levels of possibly becoming a great player for us."
    "The practice set up at the different shelters off of the Hill, ... Susan Gisler, our nurse practitioner, helped with getting medication to patients who left the Hill without their prescriptions. Dr. Schoonover and I worked out of the Pojoaque and Santa Fe shelters. And Dr. Nichols worked with patients in Albuquerque."
    "This is an interesting practice in that a lot of different things - from issues due to poverty, to issues due to affluence, have an impact on our patients, ... It is a very international practice. I speak just enough Spanish to get into trouble. Dr. Csanadi speaks Hungarian."
    "Seventy-five hours every three years is required by the state, ... We do 100 hours every year."
    "A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind."
    "We've got guys playing from all over the country playing here, East Coast, West Coast; plus you are on national television. It's a way to show the world you can play."
    "They've got a real good coach that's brought a toughness to their team. They play hard, rebound well and play defense."
    "It was tough last year, and it's going to be just as tough this year."

    Genuine Only

    by: Ne-Yo

    We may struggle
    We may even very well see hell from the gates
    Don't think that you are alright
    Are above making mistakes
    Said, I'm gonna get on your damn nerves
    And you're gonna make me mad
    But I believe we can survive all that
    'Cause love this good could never be that bad
    So may you never know the way
    Way that it feels, feels to be lonely
    May you never know one day when love isn't real
    Yeah, this stuff to me is genuine only
    See, well, maybe in a perfect world
    We would get along perfectly
    But seeing how this is real life
    Sometimes we just wanna be
    And I may make you say that you wanna leave
    Never come back but I don't
    But I believe we can survive all that
    'Cause love this good could never be that bad
    So may you never know the way
    Way that it feels, feels to be lonely
    May you never know one day when love isn't real
    See this stuff to me is genuine only, yeah, yeah
    Said, I ain't always gonna like you, girl
    Said you ain't always gonna like me, girl
    But you're the only one I want in this world
    Let me sing it again
    Said, I ain't always gonna like you girl
    Said, you ain't always gonna like me girl
    But I love you more than anything in this world, no
    May you never know the way
    The way that it feels, feels to be lonely
    May you never know one day when love isn't real
    See this stuff to me is genuine only
    May you never know the way, yeah
    To the way that it feels, that it feels to be lonely
    May you never know one day when love isn't real
