paragraph: Thomas Cogan

paragraph: Thomas Cogan (8 February 1736 – 2 February 1818) was an English nonconformist physician, a founder of the Royal Humane Society and philosophical writer.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born at Rothwell, Northamptonshire on 8 February 1736, the half-brother of Eliezer Cogan. For two or three years he was placed in the dissenting academy at Kibworth Beauchamp, run by John Aikin, but was removed at the age of fourteen, and spent the next two years with his father. He was then sent to the Mile End academy, where John Conder was the divinity tutor, but was transferred at his own request to a similar institution at Homerton. Doubts as to the truth of the doctrines of Calvinism prevented him from joining the dissenting ministry.

paragraph: In 1759 he was in the Netherlands, where he found that the Rev. Benjamin Sowden, the English minister of the presbyterian church at Rotterdam, supported by the English and Dutch governments with two pastors, required a substitute; Cogan applied for and obtained the place. He continued to seek for a pastorate over a dissenting congregation in England, and about 1762 he was selected as the minister of a chapel at Southampton, where he soon publicly renounced Calvinism and adopted the doctrines of Unitarianism. A quarrel with his congregation followed, and Cogan became the junior minister of the English church at the Hague. He was introduced to Mr. Graen or Groen, originally a silversmith at Amsterdam, and afterwards a banker, and was wooed and won, as the story goes, by the banker's only daughter, a beauty and an heiress. It was a condition of the marriage that Cogan should enter the profession of medicine, and he accordingly matriculated at Leyden University on 16 October 1765, and took his degree of M.D. in 1767. He practised for a few years at Amsterdam, Leyden, and Rotterdam.

paragraph: He returned to London and settled in Paternoster Row, where he soon obtained a lucrative practice, especially in midwifery. By 1780 he was once more in the Netherlands, having resigned his connection to Dr. John Sims, for many years the leading accoucheur in London, and retired to follow his studies in moral philosophy. They rented the mansion of Zuylestein, where they dwelt until the invasion by the French republicans in 1795. After a time at Colchester they settled at Bath, Somerset. Cogan rented a farm at South Wraxall, near Bradford-on-Avon and studied agriculture; when he left Bath he took farms at Clapton and at Woodford, and at the time of his death he was the tenant of a farm near Southampton. Mrs. Cogan died at Bath in 1810 and was buried at Widcombe; her niece, Miss Gurnault, died soon after. Cogan gmoved to London. The last years of his life were mainly passed in his lodgings in London or at his brother's house at Higham Hill. He died there on 2 February 1818. On 9 February he was buried at Hackney.

paragraph: Section::::Royal Humane Society.

paragraph: A society for the preservation of life from accidents in water was instituted at Amsterdam in 1767, and became known to Cogan. On his return to England he found that Dr. William Hawes had a similar project, and the two doctors co-operated. Each of them brought fifteen friends to a meeting at the Chapter Coffee-house in St. Paul's Churchyard in the summer of 1774, when the Royal Humane Society was formed. Cogan translated from the original Dutch in 1773 the "Memoirs of the Society instituted at Amsterdam in favour of Drowned Persons," 1767–71, and prepared the first six annual reports of the English society. His interest in this charitable work lasted throughout his life. He started a branch at Bath in 1805, and left the mother-foundation in his will the sum of £100. One of the five gold medals minted for the society is inscribed to the memory of Cogan, and in its annual report for 1814 is a portrait of him, with a eulogy of his talents as an author and the co-founder.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Cogan's thesis for his medical degree at Leyden was delivered there on 20 February 1767, and printed in the same year. It was entitled "Specimen Medicum inaugurale de animi pathematum vi et modo agendi in inducendis et curandis morbis." His next publication was an anonymous account of "John Buncle, junior, gentleman," 1776, which purported to be a memoir of the youngest son of Thomas Amory's whimsical creation of John Buncle, by his seventh wife, Miss Dunk. In 1793 he published, without his name, two volumes entitled "The Rhine; or, a Journey from Utrech to Francfort, described in a series of letters in 1791 and 1792;" it was republished in 1794 with his name on the title-page, and there was a Dutch translation published at Haarlem in 1800. This translation of Cogan's work into Dutch was balanced by his translating into English from that language in 1794 the work of Peter Camper, "On the Connexion between the Science of Anatomy and the Arts of Drawing, Painting, Statuary."

paragraph: He also wrote elaborate treatises on the passions. The first of them bore the name of "A Philosophical Treatise on the Passions," 1800, 2nd edit. 1802. Then succeeded an "Ethical Treatise on the Passions," in two parts, the first of which appeared in 1807 and the second in 1810. Two volumes of "Theological Disquisitions on Religion as affecting the Passions and on the Characteristic Excellencies of Christianity" followed in 1812 and 1813 respectively, and the whole five treatises were published in a set in 1813. Last of all came in 1817 a bundle of "Ethical Questions, or Speculations on the principal subjects of Controversy in Moral Philosophy." His plan was "to trace the moral history of man in his pursuits, power, and motives of action." A long analysis of Cogan's writings is in Jared Sparks's "Collection of Essays and Tracts in Theology" (1824), which also contains (pp. 237–362) a reprint of his "Letters to William Wilberforce on the doctrine of Hereditary Depravity, by a Layman" (pseud. i.e. T. Cogan), in which he denounced the view supported by William Wilberforce in his "Practical View of the prevailing Religious Systems of Professed Christians," and argued for the happiness of all mankind. These letters originally appeared in 1799, and were printed in cheap editions for Unitarian book societies. A fragment of his "Disquisition on the Characteristic Excellencies of Christianity" was appended in 1822 to a discourse by Lant Carpenter.

paragraph: Elling Eielsen

paragraph: Elling Eielsen (September 19, 1804 – January 10, 1883) was a Norwegian-American minister and Lutheran Church leader. He was the first Norwegian Lutheran minister in the United States.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Eielsen was born and raised on the farm of Sundve ("Sundve på Vossestrand") in Voss, Norway. The son of Eiel Ingebrigtsen Sundve and Anna Ellingsdatter Sundsvaal, he was brought up in the Lutheran religious tradition of Hans Nielsen Hauge. After his own religious awakening at the age of 25, he moved to Bergen, where he apprenticed as a carpenter and blacksmith and also enlisted in the army. He acted as a spiritual leader among his fellow soldiers, and in 1832, he accepted his first mission as a lay preacher. He traveled for several years extensively throughout Norway and also preached in Denmark where he was arrested and briefly imprisoned.

paragraph: Section::::Immigration.

paragraph: Eielsen immigrated to the United States in 1839. In 1843, he was formally ordained as a Lutheran minister by Francis Arnold Hoffmann, a German Lutheran pastor. Under Eielsen's leadership, a house of worship for Norwegian-American Lutherans was constructed at Fox River Lutheran Church near Norway, Illinois. Eislsen was resident pastor at the Jefferson Prairie Settlement from 1846 to 1872. Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (Eielsen Synod) founded in 1846 at the Jefferson Prairie Settlement, was to bear his name. He remained with the synod over the next 30 years and also continued as pastor-at-large for Norwegian-American communities in Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Texas. In 1873, he was living in Chicago where he died in 1883.

paragraph: Eielsen was a leader in the Haugean pietistic Lutheran church reform movement which encouraged evangelism and vigorous lay leadership. His piety and reliance on lay leadership long remained a dominating influence for much of upper-Midwest Lutheranism.

paragraph: Szymon Zabiełło was a Polish-Lithuanian nobleman (Polish: "szlachcic") of the Topór clan (born 14 July 1750, Czerwony Dwór, Grand Duchy of Lithuania, died in 1824). He was the castellan of Minsk from 1783 to 1787, lieutenant general (Polish: "generał lejtnant") of the Army of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and a member of its General Staff in 1792. He was an envoy to the Grodno Sejm, a member of the Patriotic Party, the Grodno Confederation in 1793, as well as the Permanent Council, and a participant of the Kościuszko Uprising in Lithuania.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: The son of Antoni Zabiełło and Zofia Niemirowicz-Szczytt, the daughter of the castellan of Mścisław, Józef Szczytt. He was the brother of Michał Zabiełło, and Józef Zabiełło, a member of the pro-Russian Targowica confederation.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Zabiełło completed his education at the Lunéville military academy and served in the French army. In 1780 he became a knight of the Order of Saint Stanislaus. In 1787, together with his brother Michał, Zabiełło transferred to the Polish army and was immediately promoted to brigadier of the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and major general of the 2nd Lithuanian Division. From 1788, he was a member of the Four-Year Sejm. In 1789, Zabiełło was awarded the Order of the White Eagle. In 1790, he was promoted to the rank of "generał lejtnant". He fought against the Russians during the Polish-Russian war of 1792, where he was commended for his actions during the ill-fated Battle of Brześć Litewski. Despite his bravery, Zabiełło was reputed to be ignorant of the finer points of commanding an army on the field against a much larger and well-trained foe. After king Stanisław II's surrender, Zabiełło attempted to organise a guerilla campaign in the enemy's rear, but abandoned these plans due to the sheer advantage held by the Imperial Russian Army. Zabiełło was Wołkowysk's envoy to the Grodno Sejm in 1793, where the second partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was ratified. He later liaised with insurrectionist allies in Wilno, but he was also a member of the Permanent Council established by the Targowica confederation. After the outbreak of the Kościuszko insurrection in Vilnius, he joined and temporarily acted as the adjutant of general Jakub Jasiński. After the collapse of the rebellion, Zabiełło withdrew from public life.

paragraph: Albert Friedrich Benno Dulk (Königsberg 1819 - 1884) was a German author.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He studied medicine and the natural sciences in Königsberg and in Leipzig and Breslau. He took an active part in the popular uprisings of 1848, at which time his revolutionary drama "Lea" appeared. After traveling in the Orient, he settled in Geneva in 1850, and subsequently in Stuttgart, where he wrote the dramas "Jesus der Christ" (1865) and "Simson" (1859), in which play the conflict between Judaism and paganism is depicted. One of his later dramas, "König Enzio", was set to music by Johann Joseph Abert.

paragraph: As an adherent of socialism he became conspicuous, in 1871, through his opposition to the Franco-Prussian War, and his publications "Patriotismus" and "Frömmigkeit" obtained a wide circulation. In 1882 he founded in Stuttgart the first society of freethinkers in Germany, and during the last years of his life devoted his pen principally to the discussion of the radical side of religio-philosophical subjects.

paragraph: Martha E. Cram Bates (August 25, 1839 – March 23, 1905) was an American writer, journalist, and newspaper editor. She was widely known throughout the Grand Traverse region, and throughout the State of Michigan as well, having been closely identified with literary work since childhood. She was, perhaps, the first woman in the state who engaged in regular newspaper work, having been connected with the "Grand Traverse Herald", of which her husband, Thomas Tomlinson Bates, was editor, since 1876.

paragraph: Section::::Early years and education.

paragraph: Martha Elizabeth Cram was born in Northville, Michigan, August 25, 1839. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Cram, whose family moved to Traverse City, Michigan in 1863. Her early childhood was spent in Northville, Goodrich, and Flint, Michigan.

paragraph: At the age of 14, Bates began to teach school, being a teenager of remarkable mental ability and a good student. Later on, she attended the Ypsilanti State Normal School and was one of the early graduates of what is now Eastern Michigan University.

paragraph: From early childhood, she developed literary tendencies, and while still a girl, wrote many articles of literary merit which found publication in leading periodicals.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Bates devoted several years of her early life to teaching. But she not only had the ability, but the inherent ambition to become a writer. In early womanhood, she contributed constantly to the leading magazines of that period and her work was eagerly sought by publishers.

paragraph: On May 5, 1867, she married Thomas T. Bates. After her marriage, Bates continued her literary work with her husband, becoming the associate editor of the "Grand Traverse Herald" since that paper came into possession of Mr. Bates in 1876. The most conspicuous features of her literary work were the Home and Sunshine departments of the "Herald", and for seven years, the Household department of the "Evening Record". These departments were always popular and were read by readers in thousands of homes in Traverse City and the Grand Traverse region. The "Herald" was a large, 8-column, 10-page paper, and was home-printed, a feature involving an extra amount of editorial labor of husband, wife, and daughter working together.

paragraph: Bates was the oldest, continuous, newspaper correspondent in Michigan, and for nearly forty years, had been one of the most prominent writers for the "Detroit Tribune". She was one of the organizers of the Michigan Woman's Press Association in 1890; its president for several years; and after the death of Lucinda Hinsdale Stone, honorary president of the association.

paragraph: When the Ladies' Library Association of Traverse City was organized in 1896, Bates was one of its charter members, and a member of the executive board until her health failed. After her activity ceased, she was made an advisory member of the board. Among the charter members of the Woman's Club, Bates was numbered as one of the most active and she was, devoted to the advancement of woman's work. She was also an honorary member of Traverse Bay Hive, Ladies of the Maccabees (L. O. T. M.).

paragraph: In addition to her work on the "Herald", Bates did an immense amount of literary work in the way of correspondence, sketches, stories and poems. She also wrote several books. With Mary Knezik Buck, Bates was the joint author of, "Along Traverse Shores", and "A Few Verses for a Few Friends". Bates was the author of "Young People's History of Michigan", which was used in many schools of the State for historical study.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: In religion, Bates was one of the three surviving charter members of the Congregational church.

paragraph: While she had been an invalid for about three years, Bates suffered much during the last six months. She died at Traverse City, March 23, 1905, and was buried at Oakwood Cemetery in that town. She was survived by her husband, Thomas, and three children, George G. Bates, proprietor of the "American Poultry Journal of Chicago" and vice president of the Herald and Record Co.; Mabel and Clara.

paragraph: Josephine McNeill

paragraph: Josephine McNeill (31 March 1895 – 19 November 1969) was an Irish diplomat. She was the first Irish female diplomat appointed to represent Ireland abroad in a ministerial capacity.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Josephine McNeill was born Josephine Ahearne in Fermoy, County Cork on 31 March 1895. She was the daughter of shopkeeper and hotelier, James Ahearne and his wife Ellen Ahearne (née O'Brien). She attended the Loretto Convent, Fermoy, and went on to graduate from University College Dublin with a BA H.Dip.Ed. in French and German. With this she began a teaching career, at St Louis’ Convent, Kiltimagh, at the Ursuline Convent, Thurles, and at Scoil Íde. Scoil Íde had been established by her friend, Louise Gavan Duffy, the female counterpart to St. Enda's School. McNeill was a fluent Irish speaker, and took an active part in the cultural elements of the Irish independence movement such as literature and music. She was a member of Cumann na mBan, serving as a member of the executive committee in 1921.

paragraph: She had been engaged to Pierce McCann, but he died of influenza in Gloucester jail in March 1919. She married James McNeill in 1923, while he was serving as Irish high commissioner in London. Despite her reservations, McNeill became a noted hostess, both in London and later in Dublin when her husband became the Governor-General of the Irish Free State from 1928 to 1932.

paragraph: Section::::Diplomatic work.

paragraph: After the death of her husband in 1938, McNeill became the honorary secretary of the council of the Friends of the National Collections, as well as serving as chair of the executive committee of the Irish Countrywomen's Association until 1950. As a member of the Department of External Affairs advisory committee on cultural relations she wrote on economic, social and cultural issues. She represented Ireland at the UNESCO general assembly in Paris in 1949.

paragraph: McNeill was an active member of Clann na Poblachta from its foundation in 1946. She was appointed the minister to the Netherlands in 1950 by Seán MacBride, making her the first Irish female diplomat to represent Ireland abroad in a ministerial capacity. This appointment was not well received by diplomats in the Department of External Affairs. Her reports from The Hague focused on the issues the Netherlands faced with decolonisation. In 1955 she became the minister to Sweden, going on to hold the joint appointment to Austria and Switzerland from 1956 to 1960, after which she retired. While serving in Switzerland she put aside the resentment she felt towards Éamon de Valera based on how he had treated her husband, to sit with him during a convalescence while de Valera recovered from an eye operation.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: McNeill was an amateur pianist and collected paintings and porcelains. In 1933 she published the Irish language book, "Finnsgéalta ó India". She died in St Vincent's Hospital, Dublin on 19 November 1969, and is buried in Kilbarrack cemetery. Her papers are held in the UCD Archives.

paragraph: Charles Le Noir

paragraph: Charles Le Noir or Lenoir (first active 1618; died 9 August 1637) was a French actor-manager, who was a member of the troupe of the Prince of Orange from at least 1622, sometimes named as a co-founder with the actor Montdory of the Théâtre du Marais in 1634, and a member of the Troupe Royale at the Hôtel de Bourgogne from 1634 to 1637.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: The first record of Charles Le Noir shows he was the leader of a troupe in Bordeaux in 1618. He then appears as the leader of a troupe in Lille in 1620.

paragraph: Le Noir and Montdory were both members of the troupe of the Prince of Orange at the Hôtel de Bourgogne in Paris in July and August 1622. The Prince of Orange died in 1625, but the company continued to perform under his name, appearing regularly in alternation with the troupe of Robert Guérin at the Bourgogne. According to W. L. Wiley, Montdory joined a different troupe in April 1624.

paragraph: Le Noir was in the cast, when the company presented Pierre Corneille's first play, "Mélite", in Paris around 1629 to 1630. The play may have been presented at the Bourgogne before it was given at the "jeu de paume" de Berthault, located on the cul-de-sac Beaubourg, where Montdory rejoined the company. Le Noir also appeared in their production of Corneille's "Clitandre" (1630–1631).

paragraph: From 15 December 1631, the company began performing at the tennis court known as La Sphère, located on the rue Vieille-du-Temple, and on 10 February 1632, Le Noir and his troupe were sentenced at the Châtelet and required to pay a fine of 405 livres for having given 120 performances at the Berthault. After about three months at La Sphère, the company moved to yet another tennis court, La Fontaine, on the rue Michel-le-Comte, where they were to remain for two years. During this period Le Noir appeared in other plays by Corneille, including, "La Veuve" (1632–1633), "La Galerie du Palais" (1632–1633), "La Suivante" (1633–1634), "La Place royale" (1633–1634), and possibly "Médée" (1634–1635).

paragraph: On 8 March 1634 the troupe leased a jeu de paume on the rue Vieille-du-Temple with a sign on it reading "Les Marestz", which was soon to be their permanent home and eventually become known as the Théâtre du Marais. According to Deierkauf-Holsboer, the theatre's opening and founding occurred on 1 April 1634. Soon, however, Le Noir would have to leave the troupe: according to the "Gazette de France" of 30 November 1634, King Louis XIII transferred Le Noir along with 5 other actors: L'Espy, Jodelet, Jaqueman Jadot, Alizon, and Mlle Le Noir (Isabelle Mestivier), to the company of Bellerose at the Bourgogne. Very little is known about Le Noir's career during his time there.

paragraph: Charles Le Noir married the actress Isabelle Mestivier, and they had five children, including the actor François Le Noir. Her father, François Mestivier, was a member of the troupe of the Prince of Orange from at least 1622 until the end of 1634. Charles Le Noir died on 9 August 1637 at his home on the rue Beaurepaire, parish of Saint-Sauveur, Paris.

paragraph: Øystein Sevåg

paragraph: Øystein Sevåg (born March 19, 1957) is a Norwegian classical musician.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Øystein Sevåg is a Norwegian composer, pianist and music producer. He was born in Bærum in 1957, beginning piano lessons at age five. As a teen he played bass in a rock band but returned to his classical roots in time to study piano, flute and composition at a private Music Conservatory in Oslo; by the 1980s, however, Sevåg had become fascinated by the possibilities offered by the development of the synthesizer, and he plunged into electronic music with his self-released 1989 debut LP "Close Your Eyes and See".

paragraph: The product of five years in the studio, the album slowly crept into "Billboard"'s New Age charts in the USA, and it landed Sevåg on the Windham Hill label to issue the follow-up, 1993's "Link". He returned two years later with "Global House", a record reflecting a newfound interest in acoustic sounds and worldbeat textures, including didgeridoo and string quartet; the ambient album "Visual", a collaboration with guitarist Lakki Patey, followed in 1996. Signing to Hearts of Space Records, Sevåg resurfaced in 1997 with the acclaimed "Bridge", with the London Philharmonia Orchestra, winning the Indie Award in USA for the best new age recording of the year.

paragraph: From 1999 to 2005, he lived in Freiburg, South Germany, where among other things he worked on music therapy together with Maria Sevag and the psychologist Katharina Martin.

paragraph: In April 2005, Sevåg's new album "Caravan" was released, 8 years after his previous album "Bridge". The new material was introduced on a concert in Oslo in March. In June one of his new compositions in the classical area - a string trio - had its first performance on Casa dei Mezzo Music Festival on Crete, Greece, and in April 2006 in Madrid. In October 2005 he had two concerts in Norway with his "Global House Band" - followed up by ten small solo concerts at the Vigeland Mausoleum in Oslo.

paragraph: In the spring 2006 Øystein Sevåg moved to Oslo. He produced singer/songwriter Eliksir's debut album "Earthly Things", released in 2007. His latest album "Based on a True Story" was released in 2007. In February 2006 he met the singer/songwriter , and worked with her as a co producer, arranger and piano player on her debut album "After a Day of Rain", released in August 2008.

paragraph: John Henry Godfrey

paragraph: Admiral John Henry Godfrey CB (10 July 1888 – 29 August 1970) was an officer of the Royal Navy and Royal Indian Navy, specialising in navigation. Ian Fleming is said to have based James Bond's boss, "M", on Godfrey.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Godfrey was born in Handsworth in 1888. He was the son of Godfrey Henry Godfrey, he was educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham, Bradfield College, and HMS Britannia. In 1921 he married Bertha Margaret, daughter of Donald Hope; they had three daughters.

paragraph: During the First World War, Godfrey served on HMS Euryalus in the Dardanelles Campaign in 1915, and was present at the re-occupation of Sollum, during the bombardment of Smyrna, and in the Red Sea operations in support of the Arab forces. From 1916 to 1919 he was on the staff of the Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean, and then from 1921 to 1931 he was Deputy Director at the Royal Naval Staff College.

paragraph: From 1931 to 1933 he commanded the ships HMS "Kent" and HMS "Suffolk" on the China Station, before serving as Deputy Director, Plans Division at the Admiralty from 1933 to 1935. He commanded the battle-cruiser HMS "Repulse" from 1936 to 1939, then served as Director of Naval Intelligence from 1939 to 1942. From 1943 to 1946 he was Flag Officer Commanding Royal Indian Navy. He was commanding the Royal Indian Navy during the Royal Indian Navy mutiny and went on air with his order to "Submit or perish".

paragraph: Godfrey was made Captain in 1928, Rear-Admiral in 1939, Vice-Admiral in 1942 and Admiral on the retired list in 1945. As well as being made a Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1939, he was also awarded the Order of the Nile of Egypt and made a Chevalier of the French Legion d'Honneur.

paragraph: After his retirement, Godfrey was Chairman of the Chelsea Hospital Management Committee from 1949 to 1960, and was a sometime member of the Board of Governors of Queen Charlotte's Hospital and the Chelsea Hospital for Women, and of the Council of King Edward's Hospital Fund for London and Roedean School. He founded the Centre for Spastic Children, Chelsea. Ian Fleming—who served under Godfrey in Naval Intelligence during World War II—based M, the fictional head of MI6 and James Bond's superior, on him; Godfrey complained that Fleming "turned me into that unsavoury character, M".

paragraph: In 1966 and 1967 Godfrey gave his memoirs to Churchill College, Cambridge. These contain many unpublished sources and are based in part on an official history of the Naval Intelligence Division which he had written at the end of the war. Godfrey died in Eastbourne in 1970.

paragraph: Francis Seymour Haden

paragraph: Sir Francis Seymour Haden PPRE (16 September 1818 – 1 June 1910), was an English surgeon, best known as an original etcher who championed original printmaking. He was one of the founders the Society of Painter-Etchers, now the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, and was its first president.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Haden was born at 62 Lower Sloane Street, Chelsea, London. His father, Charles Thomas Haden, being a well-known doctor and lover of music. He was educated at Derby School, Christ's Hospital, and University College, London, and also studied at the Sorbonne, Paris, where he took his degree in 1840. He was admitted as a member of the College of Surgeons in London in 1842.

paragraph: Section::::Artistic career.

paragraph: In 1843–44, with his friends Duval, Le Cannes and Colonel Guibout, he travelled to Italy and made his first sketches and six etchings from nature. Haden attended no art school and had no art teachers, but between 1845 and 1848 he studied intently, the portfolios of prints belonging to a second-hand dealer named Love, who had a shop in Bunhill Row, the old Quaker quarter of London. Arranging the prints in chronological order, he studied in particular, the works of the great original engravers, Albrecht Dürer, Lucas van Leyden and Rembrandt.

paragraph: As mentioned in "Print REbels": Exquisite line, especially drypoint burr, sometimes calligraphic in sensibility, can be seen across Haden's prints, the majority which are landscapes. Added to this is his range and intensity of expression. He expresses the maximum by means of the minimum to achieve the essence of his subject matter: what Haden himself called "the labour of omission". Haden's printmaking was mutually invigorated by his younger brother-in-law, James McNeill Whistler, at the Haden home in Lower Sloane Street in 1855. An etching press was installed there and for a while Haden and Whistler collaborated on a series of etchings of the Thames. However, the relationship and project did not last.

paragraph: Haden followed the art of original etching with such vigour that he became not only the foremost British exponent of that art from 1865 but brought about its revival in England. His strenuous efforts and perseverance, aided by the secretarial ability of Sir WIlliam R Drake RE, resulted in the foundation of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers, styled the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers since 1990. As President Haden ruled the Society for thirty years with a strong hand from its first beginnings in 1880. "As PRE," Frederick Keppel, author and print collector wrote: "Sir Francis Seymour Haden did great work in maintaining sound doctrine in etching. Nothing was admitted that was "commercial" in character, and etchings that were done after paintings by other hands were vigorously ruled out." In fact, as regarding the RE Members, "he ruled them with a rod of iron," However, "membership was eagerly sought for - so much that many famous et hers weren't never elected though they thrived hard to be."

paragraph: Notwithstanding Haden's study of the old masters of his art, Haden's own plates were very individual. He preferred to work directly onto the plate in front of the subject. Malcolm Salaman Hon RE wrote of Haden drawing from nature; "with that breadth, freedom, and spontaneity of effect, which, while suggesting a sketch,

paragraph: represented a true etcher's drawing". Even when working from a picture by another artist his personality dominates the plate, as for example in the large plate he etched after J.M.W. Turner's "Calais Pier", which is a classical example of what interpretative work can do in black and white. Of his original plates, 263 in number, one of the most notable was the large "Breaking up of the Agamemnon".

paragraph: An early plate, rare and most beautiful, is "Thames Fisherman". "Mytton Hall" is broad in treatment, and a fine rendering of a shady avenue of yew trees leading to an old manor-house (now a hotel in Lancashire) in September sunlight. "Sub Tegmine" was etched in Greenwich Park in 1859; and "Early Morning--Richmond"", full of the poetry and freshness of the hour, was done, according to Haden, actually at sunrise. One of the rarest and most beautiful of his plates is "A By-Road in Tipperary"; "Combe Bottom" is another; and "Shere Mill Pond" (both the small study and the larger plate), The Towing Path, Kilgaren Castle, The Three Sisters, Battersea Reach - Out of Whistler's Window, "Penton Hook", "Grim Spain" and "Evening Fishing, Longparish" are also notable examples of his work. Sunset in Ireland is Haden's acknowledged pastoral masterpiece. A catalogue of his works was begun by Sir William Drake and completed by Harrington in 1880. During later years also Haden began to practise mezzotint engraving, with a measure of the same success that he had already achieved in pure etching and in drypoint. His mezzotints include "An Early Riser", a stag seen through the morning mists, "Grayling Fishing" and "A Salmon Pool on the Spey". He also created paintings and charcoal drawings of trees and park-like country.

paragraph: Section::::Writings.

paragraph: Haden's studies of Rembrandt, besides influencing his original work, led to his important monograph on the Dutch artist's etchings. Haden was the first to catalogue Rembrandt's etchings chronologically and in "states". Through books and lectures, and with the aid of an exhibition at the Burlington Fine Arts Club in 1877, he tried to give a true reflection of Rembrandt's work, excluding from his "oeuvre" a large number of plates previously attributed to him. Haden's reasons were founded upon the results of a study of the master's works in chronological order, and are clearly expressed in his monograph, "The Etched Work of Rembrandt critically reconsidered", privately printed in 1877, and in "The Etched Work of Rembrandt: True and False" (1895). 102 of Rembrandt's etchings from Haden's collection were exhibited alongside the RE Annual exhibition in 1890.

paragraph: Other books written by Haden not already mentioned are:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Etudes a l'eau forte" (Paris, 1865)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "About Etching" (London, 1879)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The Art of the Painter-Etcher" (London, 1890)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The Relative Claims of Etching and Engraving to rank as Fine Arts and to be represented in the Royal Academy" (London, 1883)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Address to Students of Winchester School of Art" (Winchester, 1888)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Cremation: a Pamphlet" (London, 1875)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The Disposal of the Dead, a Plea for Legislation" (London, 1888).

paragraph: As the last two indicate, he was an ardent champion of a system of "earth to earth" burial. During the London 'Burial Crisis' of the late 1840s, following several epidemics, he aired a proposal to ship the bodies of London's dead to the Thames Estuary for use in land reclamation but this met with little approval.

paragraph: Section::::Honours.

paragraph: Among numerous distinctions Haden received the Grand Prix, Paris, in 1889 and 1900, and was made an honorary member of the Institut de France, Académie des Beaux-Arts and Société des Artistes Français. Haden was knighted in 1894 for his services "to the advancement of original etching and engraving".

paragraph: Bicentenary commemoration of Sir Francis Seymour Haden:

paragraph: Print REbels, an exhibition commemorating 200 years since the birth of Haden and celebrating the origins of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, founded by Haden, was launched by this Society at the Bankside Gallery, London. This exhibition tours UK museums and galleries until 2019. A 346 page catalogue/book, published by the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in April 2018, comprehensively mirrors Haden's achievements and influence. A limited edition "REbels Portfolio" by current Members of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers was created, also, in celebration. Box sets of this portfolio are in the permanent collection of the British Museum, London; Ashmolean Museum, Oxford; Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge and HM The Queen.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: In 1847 he married the musician Dasha Whistler, the half-sister of the artist James McNeill Whistler (the siblings sharing the same father only); and his eldest son, Francis Seymour Haden (b. 1850), was educated at Marlborough College in Wiltshire and had a distinguished career as a member of the government in Natal Colony from 1881 to 1893, being made a C.M.G. in 1890.

paragraph: Charles Méryon

paragraph: Charles Méryon (23 November 1821 – 13 February 1868) was a French artist who worked almost entirely in etching, as he suffered from colour blindness. Although now little-known in the English-speaking world, he is generally recognised as the most significant etcher of 19th century France. He also suffered from mental illness, dying in an asylum. His most famous work is a series of views of Paris.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: He was born in Paris, his father being an English physician and his mother a French dancer. Méryon's mother brought him up, but died when he was still young, and Méryon entered the French navy, and in the corvette "Le Rhin" made the voyage round the world in the 1840s. He was already a draughtsman, for on the coast of New Zealand he made pencil drawings which he was able to employ, years afterwards, as studies for etchings of the landscape of those regions. The artistic instinct developed, and, while he was yet a lieutenant; Méryon left the navy. Finding that he was colour blind, he determined to devote himself to etching. He entered the studio of the engraver Eugène Bléry, from whom he learnt something of technical matters, and to whom he always remained grateful. Méryon had no money, and was too proud to ask help from his family. He was forced to earn a living by doing work that was mechanical and irksome. Among learners' work, done for his own advantage, are to be counted some studies after the Dutch etchers such as Zeeman and Adriaen van de Velde. Having proved himself a skilled copyist, he began doing original work, notably a series of etchings which are the greatest embodiments of his greatest conceptions—the series called "Eaux-fortes sur Paris." These plates, executed from 1850 to 1854, are never found as a set and were never expressly published as such, but they nonetheless constituted in Méryon's mind an harmonious series.

paragraph: Section::::Mature work.

paragraph: Besides the twenty-two etchings "sur Paris", Méryon did seventy-two etchings of one sort and another ninety-four in all being catalogued in Frederick Wedmore's "Méryon" and "Méryon's Paris"; but these include the works of his apprenticeship and of his decline, adroit copies in which his best success was in the sinking of his own individuality, and more or less dull portraits. Yet among the seventy-two prints outside his professed series there are at least a dozen famous ones. Three or four beautiful etchings of Paris do not belong to the series at all. Two or three others are devoted to the illustration of Bourges, a city in which the old wooden houses were as attractive to him for their own sakes as were the stonebuilt monuments of Paris. Generally it was when Paris engaged him that he succeeded the most. He would have done more work if the material difficulties of his life had not pressed upon him and shortened his days.

paragraph: He was a bachelor, yet almost as constantly occupied with love as with work. The depth of his imagination and the surprising mastery which he achieved almost from the beginning in the technicalities of his craft were appreciated only by a few artists, critics and connoisseurs, and he could not sell his etchings or could sell them only for about lod. apiece. Disappointment told upon him, and, frugal as was his way of life, poverty must have affected him. He became subject to hallucinations. Enemies, he said, waited for him at the corners of the streets; his few friends robbed him or owed him that which they would never pay. A few years after the completion of his Paris series he was placed in the asylum at Charenton. Briefly restored to health, he came out and did a little more work, but at bottom he was exhausted. In 1867 he returned to his asylum, and died there in 1868. In middle age, just before he was confined, he associated with Félix Bracquemond and Léopold Flameng, skilled practitioners of etching. The best portrait we have of him is one by Bracquemond under which the sitter wrote that it represented “the sombre Méryon with the grotesque visage."

paragraph: There are twenty-two pieces in the "Eaux-fortes sur Paris". Some of them are insignificant. That is because ten out of the twenty-two were destined as headpiece, tailpiece, or running commentary on some more important plate. But each has its value, and certain of the smaller pieces throw great light on the aim of the entire set. Thus, one little plate—not a picture at all—is devoted to the record of verses made by Méryon, the purpose of which is to lament the life of Paris. Méryon aimed to illustrate its misery and poverty, as well as its splendour. His etchings are no mere views of Paris. They are “views" only so far as is compatible with their being likewise the visions of a poet and the compositions of an artist. Méryon's epic work was coloured strongly by his personal sentiment, and affected here and there by current events — in more than one case, for instance, he hurried with particular affection to etch his impression of some old-world building which was on the point of destruction, as Napoleon III tore down buildings to reconstruct Paris with wide boulevards. Nearly every etching in the series reveals technical skill, but even the technical skill is exercised most happily in those etchings which have the advantage of impressive subjects, and which the collector willingly cherishes for their mysterious suggestiveness or for their pure beauty.

paragraph: Méryon also taught; among his pupils was the etcher Gabrielle-Marie Niel.

paragraph: Section::::Style.

paragraph: The "Abside de Notre Dame" is the general favourite and is commonly held to be Méryon's masterpiece. Light and shade play wonderfully over the great fabric of the church, seen over the spaces of the river. As a draughtsman of architecture, Méryon was complete; his sympathy with its various styles was broad, and his work on its various styles unbiased and of equal perfection—a point in which it is curious to contrast him with J.M.W. Turner, who, in drawing Gothic architecture, often drew it with want of appreciation. It is evident that architecture must enter largely into any representation of a city, however much such representation may be a vision, and however little a chronicle. Even the architectural portion of Méryon's labour is only indirectly imaginative; to the imagination he has given freer play in his dealings with the figure, whether the people of the street or of the river or the people who, when he is most frankly or even wildly symbolical, crowd the sky. Generally speaking, his figures are, as regards draughtsmanship, “landscape-painter's figures." They are drawn more with an eye to grace than to academic correctness. But they are not “landscape-painter's figures" at all when what we are ‘concerned with is not the method of their representation but the purpose of their introduction. They are seen then to be in exceptional accord with the sentiment of the scene. Sometimes, as in the case of "La Morgue", it is they who tell the story of the picture. Sometimes, as in the case of "La Rue des Mauvais Garçons"—with the two passing women bent together in secret converse—they at least suggest it. And sometimes, as in "L'Arche du Pont Notre Dame", it is their expressive gesture and eager action that give vitality and animation to the scene. Dealing perfectly with architecture, and perfectly, as far as ‘concerned his peculiar purpose, with humanity in his art, Méryon was little called upon by the character of his subjects to deal with Nature. He drew trees but badly, never representing foliage happily, either in detail or in mass. But to render the characteristics of the city, it was necessary that he should know how to portray a certain kind of water—river-water, mostly sluggish--and a certain kind of sky--the grey obscured and lower sky that broods over a world of roof and chimney. This water and this sky Méryon is thoroughly master of; he notes with observant affection their changes in all lights.

paragraph: In his technique, Méryon experimented variously in his brief career, and at times within individual works. In two different impressions of his Paris view "La Pompe Notre Dame de Paris" (1852) he could employ crisp lines through a well wiped plate without plate tone, or leave softer edges and richer darks by ample plate tone. His aesthetics were often dictated by his paper, of which he endeavored to acquire the finest available. His more defined works he printed on 'Hudelist' paper, from a mill in Hallines in the North of France, which had the uniform, smooth quality ideal for sharp images. His more gauzy works, by contrast, were printed on a softer, felt-like Morel Lavenere paper produced in Glaignes, which was highly absorbent—and pale green, which Méryon in his color blindness would not have perceived as the typical viewer. Ultimately, however, his stated preference was for cleanly-wiped, clear prints of a uniform quality, which determination ironically positioned him against the Etching Revival he helped inspire.

paragraph: Section::::Value of his prints (to 1911).

paragraph: It is worthwhile to note the extraordinary enhancement in the value of Méryon's prints. Probably of no other artist of genius, not even of Whistler, could there be cited within the same period a rise in prices of at all the same proportion. Thus the first state of the "Stryge" - that "with the verses" - selling under the hammer in 1873 for £5, sold again under the hammer in 1905 for £100. The first state of the "Galerie de Notre Dame" - selling in 1873 for £5 and at M. Wasset's sale in 1880 for Lii?, fetched in 1905, £52. A "Tour de l'Horloge," which two or three years after it was first issued sold for half a crown, in May 1903 fetched f70. A first state (Wedmore's, not of course M. Delteil's "first state," which, like nearly all his first states, is in fact a trial proof) of the "Saint Étienne du Mont," realizing about £2 at M. Burty's sale in 1876, realized £60 at a sale in May 1906. The second state of the "Morgue" (Wedmore) sold in 1905 for £65; and Wedmore's second of the "Abside," which used to sell throughout the seventies for £4 or £5, reached in November 1906 more than £200. At no period have even Dürers or Rembrandts risen so swiftly and steadily.

paragraph: Section::::Value of his prints (to 2018).

paragraph: Though while alive he sold prints for francs, in 2014 prints are for sale under US$1000.

paragraph: In 2018 Meryon’s etchings fetch on the market (in the U.K) from between £1,500 to £7,500 GBP
