Chapter H.B. to Hamet of H by Brewer's Readers Handbook

adieu, but when their children were brought forth they relented, and rushed into each other’s arms.—B. Thompson: The Stranger (1797), adapted from Kotzebue.

In “Mrs. Haller,” the powers of Miss O’Neill, aided by her beauty, shone forth in the highest perfection, and when she appeared in that character, with John Kemble as “The Stranger,” a spectacle was exhibited such as no one ever saw before, or will ever see again. —Sir A. Alison.

Halliday (Tom), a private in the royal army.—Sir W. Scott: Old Mortality (time, Charles II.).

Hamako, an inspired madman. Theodorick, the hermit of Engaddi, is so called in the Talisman, a novel by sir W. Scott (time, Richard I.).

Hamako, fool, unloose me…or I will use my dagger!—Chap.iii.

Hamartia, Sin personified, offspring of the red dragon and Eve. “A foul, deformed” monster, “more foul, deformed, the sun yet never saw.” “A woman seemed she in the upper part,” but “the rest was in serpent form,” though out of sight. Fully described in canto xii. of The Purple Island (1633), by Phineas Fletcher. (Greek, hamartia, “sin.”)

Hamet, son of Mandanê and Zamti (a Chinese mandarin). When the infant prince Zaphimri, called “the orphan of China,” was committed to the c are of Zamti, Hamet was sent to Corea, and placed under the charge of Morat; but when grown to man hood, he led a band of insurgents against Timurkan the Tartar, who had usurped the throne of China. He was seized and condemned to death, under the conviction that he was Zaphimri the prince. Etan (who was the real Zaphimri) now came forward to acknowledge his rank, and Timurkan, unable to ascertain which was the true prince, ordered them both to execution. At this juncture a party of insurgents arrived, Hamet and Zaphimri were set at liberty, Timurkan was slain, and Zaphimri was raised to the throne of his forefathers.—Murphy: The Orphan of China (1759).
