* The King in Yellow appearing in the book of the same name by Robert W. Chambers purports to be an actual play that is capable of driving the reader insane.

Chambers, though, indulged in the decadent style of Wilde and Machen ( even to the extent of having a character named ' Wilde ' in his The King in Yellow ).

Lovecraft was also influenced by authors such as Gertrude Barrows Bennett ( who, writing as Francis Stevens, impressed Lovecraft enough that he publicly praised her stories and eventually " emulated Bennett's earlier style and themes "), Oswald Spengler, Robert W. Chambers ( writer of The King in Yellow, of whom Lovecraft wrote in a letter to Clark Ashton Smith: " Chambers is like Rupert Hughes and a few other fallen Titans — equipped with the right brains and education but wholly out of the habit of using them ").

Around 1046 BC, Wen's son, King Wu of Zhou, led an army of 45, 000 men and 300 chariots across the Yellow River and defeated the Shang King Di Xin at the Battle of Muye, marking the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty.

The King in Yellow is a collection of tales of the supernatural by Robert W. Chambers, named after a fictional play with the same title that recurs as a leitmotif through some of its stories and first published by F. Tennyson Neely in 1895.

Joshi as a classic in the field of the supernatural, it contains 10 stories, the first four of which, " The Repairer of Reputations ", " The Mask ", " In the Court of the Dragon " and " The Yellow Sign ", mention The King in Yellow, a forbidden play which induces despair or madness in those who read it.

" The scolloped tatters of the King in Yellow must hide Yhtill forever ," he muttered, but I do not believe Vance heard him.

A similar passage occurs in " The Yellow Sign ", in which two protagonists have read The King in Yellow:

It is also possible that the play Salomé by Oscar Wilde, published in 1893, was another symbolist source of inspiration for The King in Yellow.

Like The King in Yellow, Salomé was originally written in French before being translated ; it was then banned in Britain because of its scandalous reputation.

The 350th anniversary of the King James Bible is being celebrated simultaneously with the publishing today of the New Testament, the first part of the New English Bible, undertaken as a new translation of the Scriptures into contemporary English.

The New English Bible ( the Old Testament and Apocrypha will be published at a future date ) has not been planned to rival or replace the King James Version, but, as its cover states, it is offered `` simply as the Bible to all those who will use it in reading, teaching, or worship ''.

One is impressed with the dignity, clarity and beauty of this new translation into contemporary English, and there is no doubt that the meaning of the Bible is more easily understandable to the general reader in contemporary language in the frequently archaic words and phrases of the King James.

It is blind, fundamentalist dogmatism to say, `` Messing around with the King James version seems to us a perilous sport at best ''.
