paragraph: Charles A. Spencer

paragraph: Charles A. Spencer was an American scientific pioneer and inventor, who is widely believed to have developed the first American-made achromatic objective microscope. He was born in 1813 in Madison County, NY and died in 1881.

paragraph: Section::::Microscopy.

paragraph: Spencer’s first microscopes were available for purchase in 1838. Previous to Spencer’s invention, European manufacturers held a monopoly on research-quality microscopic equipment. At least one of Spencer’s microscopes survives and is currently held by the Smithsonian Institution.

paragraph: Section::::Business.

paragraph: In 1854, Spencer formed a partnership with A.K. Eaton for the manufacture of high quality microscopes, which was located in Canastota, NY, USA. This partnership would prove successful, with back-orders from all over the world reportedly exceeding $20,000 US in the currency of the day.

paragraph: A “crippling” fire in 1875 however, would lead to the failure and dissolution of this original partnership. Following a move to Geneva, NY and a brief partnership with Geneva Optical Works, a new business was founded that included Spencer’s sons in 1877 called “Charles A. Spencer & Sons.”

paragraph: Section::::Honors and tributes.

paragraph: Despite not seeking recognition for their work in the trade, in 1878 the Spencer’s microscopes would receive the Paris Universal Exposition Exposition Universelle (1878) highest award, the Grand Gold Medal, for excellence in their optics.

paragraph: In 1884, ground was broken in Rochester, NY for the foundation of a monument to Spencer and his peer, Robert B. Tolles to provide an enduring honor of their achievements in American microscopy, and the scientific advances that grew from it.

paragraph: A memorial fund was also established as an endowment, which would grant "not more than $100" each year, to be used for research purposes by the recipient.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: In 1895, Herbert R. Spencer continued his father's work with the establishment of the Spencer Lens Company, based in Buffalo, NY. The company was later purchased by the American Optical Company. In 1967, Warner Lambert Pharmaceutical acquired the company which, after changing hands several times, ultimately came to be known as Reichert Technologies, Inc. In 2011, the company became a part of AMETEK.

paragraph: Ercole Lelli

paragraph: Ercole Lelli (14 September 1702 – 7 March 1766) was an Italian painter of the late-Baroque, active mainly in Northern Italy, including his native city of Bologna, as well as Padua and Piacenza.

paragraph: Lelli was a pupil of the painter Giovanni Pietro Zanotti, but he also gravitated towards sculptural work. He excelled in the study of the anatomy of the human body as well as painting.

paragraph: Starting in 1742 he helped prepare artistic anatomical wax displays at the University of Bologna.

paragraph: The wax modeler and anatomist Giovanni Manzolini worked as his assistant from 1743.

paragraph: Manzolini resigned in late 1746 after three years.

paragraph: He felt bitterly that Lelli had deprived him of recognition for his greater knowledge of anatomy and anatomical sculpture.

paragraph: Nicolo Toselli was another of Lelli's pupils.

paragraph: In 1746 Lelli became a member of both the Bolognese art society, Accademia Clementina, and the science society, "Istituto delle scienze". He had completed many medals for the local Mint. A few pictures are extant, including a "Virgin and child with St. Anthony of Padua and St. Clara" for the church of Sant' Andrea delle Scuole at Bologna; and a "St. Fidèle" for the church of the Cappuccini at Piacenza. He was an eminent teacher of design, and in 1759 became director of the Academy at Bologna, the city where he died. He has also left some engravings, such as "Hagar and Ishmael". A posthumous book with a few engravings, titled "Anatomia esterna del corpo umano" (External Anatomy of the Human Body) was published in Bologna.

paragraph: Charles Sackville-Germain, 5th Duke of Dorset (27 August 176729 July 1843), known as Charles Sackville between 1767 and 1770, as Charles Germain between 1770 and 1785, and as The Viscount Sackville between 1785 and 1815, was a British peer, courtier and Tory politician. He served as Master of the Horse between 1821 and 1827 and again briefly in 1835.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Born Charles Sackville, he was the eldest son of Lord George Sackville. His father changed the family surname to Germain in 1770 and was created Viscount Sackville in 1782. Dorset re-incorporated the former surname as a double-barrelled one later in life.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Germain succeeded his father in the viscountcy in 1785, inheriting Drayton House. In 1815 he also succeeded his cousin in the dukedom of Dorset. In 1821 he was sworn of the Privy Council and appointed Master of the Horse under Lord Liverpool. Serving in that office until 1827 and again briefly under Sir Robert Peel from January to April 1835, he was also appointed a Knight of the Garter in 1826.

paragraph: Section::::Death and memorial.

paragraph: Dorset died unmarried and childless in 1843 and his titles, a viscountcy and dukedom, became extinct. His memorial is in St Peter's Church, Lowick, Northamptonshire — a black lettering-etched white marble chest-tomb by Richard Westmacott, large draped mantle, coronet on cushion with a human-size angel seated alongside, its only coloured feature is its shield.

paragraph: Section::::Estates.

paragraph: Charles had succeeded in 1785 to the vast bulk of the parish of Lowick, including the grand 13th-century-core Drayton House, replete with three towering eagles on top of its bulky gate posts. Drayton had come into the family from Sir John Germain, 1st Baronet, who died without issue in 1718, leaving it to his wife Elizabeth Germain. On her death in 1769 Charles' father, Lord George Sackville (later created 1st Viscount Sackville), inherited the estate. He took her surname by Act of Parliament of 1770 and was seised of the additional manor of Lowick and right to nominate the parish priest (advowson) at the inclosure of the parish in 1771, when about were wholly privatized to him.

paragraph: Charles was also dealing with five Northamptonshire manors by recovery in 1788 and 1791. He or his predecessor in the dukedom had in addition bought more modest nearby Pyels ( Vaux) manor, Woodford, Northamptonshire between 1800 and 1843.

paragraph: On his death in 1843, all the estates passed to his niece Mrs. Caroline Harriet Stopford Sackville (née Sackville) (died 1908) and had descended by 1930 into the hands of Nigel Victor Stopford Sackville, the only surviving son of her second son.

paragraph: Lewis Yelland Andrews

paragraph: Lewis Yelland Andrews (1896-1937) was the British District Commissioner for the Galilee during the British Mandate for Palestine. He was assassinated by Arab gunmen on his way to prayer services at Anglican Christ Church in Nazareth on 26 September 1937.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Lewis Yelland Andrews was a son of A.E. Andrews from Sydney, Australia. Andrews had fought in World War I for the Australian Imperial Forces. He later served as British district commissioner for Galilee. His assassination on 26 September 1937, caused Britain to respond by outlawing the Arab Higher Committee and the arresting of its members. His assassination was considered to represent the apex of the great Arab revolt in Palestine.

paragraph: Before his murder, one of Andrews' last tasks was to organise a program for the Royal Commission. He allegedly used his influence in favour of partition of the British Mandate. He was the object of particular hatred among Palestinians in the Galilee area for the manner in which he carried out repressive measures after the outbreak of the general strike of 1936.

paragraph: On 26 September 1937, Andrews, Pirie-Gordon (the assistant district commissioner) and Andrews' bodyguard (a British police constable) were on their way from attending service at the Anglican Christ Church, Nazareth when they were gunned down by 4 masked militant followers of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam. Andrews died on the spot and the bodyguard later died at the hospital.

paragraph: Britain immediately issued a warrant for the arrest of Hajj Amin al-Husayni. Shortly afterwards the Arab Higher Committee, of which al-Husayni was chairman, was declared illegal, and a warrant was made out for Husayni's arrest. Al-Husayni holed up in the Haram al-Sharif for some time and eventually slipped out under cover of dark and eventually made his way to Syria which became the committee's new base of operations. In the absence of the established leadership, more radical politicians assumed control of the resistance movement within Palestine itself. Anti-Zionist and anti-British attacks rapidly increased, as did British repression.

paragraph: Andrews was buried in Jerusalem and his grave is preserved in the Protestant Mount Zion Cemetery there. He left a widow and three children.

paragraph: Dday One (born Udeze Ukwuoma) is an American music producer, DJ and songwriter, from Los Angeles, California. He is known for his instrumental sample-based productions which incorporate the extensive use of Break-Beats and organic sounds with emotional elements. Using the Sampler as his sole instrument and mainly drawing from nature, Free Jazz and World Music, his compositional process is rooted in the lineages of classic Hip Hop production and Electro-Acoustic music.

paragraph: He has released projects on various labels but the bulk of his output has been through Content (L)abel, a label which he founded and functions as artistic director, creating a majority of the cover art photography.

paragraph: Section::::Live performances.

paragraph: Throughout the years, Dday One has performed worldwide, sharing the stage with the likes of Kid Koala, , Yppah, Hisham Bharoocha and many more. Distinct from many contemporary electronic performers, Dday One’s performances do not rely heavily on the use of a laptop with performance software. Alternatively, his setup is similar to the classic hip hop studio, consisting of a turntable, mixer, effects module and a hardware sampler. Primarily with the use of the Roland MV-8000 sampler in conjunction with the Korg mini-KP, he mixes various musical styles with elements of his own compositions while improvising and drumming out the percussive parts in real time.

paragraph: Sechele I

paragraph: Sechele I a Motswasele "Rra Mokonopi" (1812–1892), also known as Setshele, was the ruler of the Kwêna people of Botswana. He was converted to Christianity by David Livingstone and in his role as ruler served as a missionary among his own and other African peoples. According to Livingstone biographer Stephen Tomkins, Sechele was Livingstone's only African convert to Christianity, even though Livingstone himself came to regard Sechele as a "backslider". Sechele led the baKwêna in the Battle of Dimawe in 1852.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Sechele was born in 1812, the son of the chief of the Kwêna tribe of Tswana people of what is modern-day Botswana. When Sechele was ten years old, his father was killed and the leadership of the tribe was divided between his two uncles. Sechele and some of his supporters fled into the desert. He spent some years among the Ngwato people and married Mokgokong, a daughter of Chief Kgari. In about 1831 he succeeded in replacing one of his uncles as ruler of half the baKwêna.

paragraph: Section::::Conversion to Christianity.

paragraph: In 1847 Sechele met David Livingstone at Tshwane. He and his people accompanied the missionary to the Kolobeng River where Livingstone set up the Kolobeng Mission. The establishment of missions was sometimes encouraged by local rulers because the missionaries gave them access to guns and gunpowder, which gave them an advantage over neighbouring tribes lacking such technology.

paragraph: Sechele was eager to learn to read and write and was an adept student, learning the letters of the alphabet in two days. He became so keen on learning that he rose early and breakfasted before dawn. Once he had mastered reading, he taught his wives to read. The only book available in the language of the Tswana was the Bible. He later sent five of his children to be educated by another missionary, Robert Moffat, at Kuruman.

paragraph: Sechele experienced several conflicts between local custom and Christianity. He had to give up his role as the local rainmaker. He fell into conflict with the Livingstone over his marriage to five women. At first Livingstone was inclined to be relaxed about it but feeling under pressure from other missionaries, he demanded divorce of four of the five. Sechele did so. As there were no further impediments, he was baptised in 1848.

paragraph: After the divorces and Sechele's baptism, one of his ex-wives became pregnant by him. He also killed a European, apparently for judicial reasons. As a result, Livingstone denounced him as a Christian. This was despite Sechele's repentance and protestations of faith. Sechele told Livingstone, "I shall never give up Jesus. You and I will stand before him together".

paragraph: During the time of their association, Livingstone urged Sechele to make peace with the uncle who ruled the other half of the Kwêna. Sechele sent his uncle a gift of gunpowder. The uncle was suspicious of the gift and set fire to it. His death in the resulting explosion enabled Sechele to reunite the tribe.

paragraph: Sechele seems to have been a deep, independent thinker. He was powerfully committed to Jesus Christ (rather than European Christianity), such that he made this commitment at a time when it was politically and personally inconvenient to do so and, after Livingstone left him, he continued as missionary to his own and other people. Whereas most African converts simply assumed the ideas of European Christianity, Sechele went back to the original source, the Bible, and tried to work out a more African kind of Christianity. There is still controversy over the effects of this, and traditional missionaries of the time described him as, "half Christian, half heathen".

paragraph: Section::::Battle of Dimawe.

paragraph: Missionaries such as Livingstone were unpopular with the Boers, in Livingstone's case because he was believed to have supplied rifles and ammunition to the Kwêna. Because Sechele and the Kwêna lived on the route to Central Africa, between the Transvaal and Shoshong, Sechele was perceived by the Boers as a danger to their western border.

paragraph: In 1852 a group of Bahurutshe people who were slaves of the Boers escaped and fled to the Kwêna for protection. The Boers destroyed the Kolobeng mission and attacked the Kwêna at Dimawe, where they encountered the combined Batswana tribes of Bakwêna, Bahurutshe, Balete and Batlokwa. Before the attack there was an attempt by the Batswana to protect the women and children by sending them into hiding, but according to Livingstone, many were taken prisoner by the Boers. Under the leadership of Sechele, Khama of Bangwato, and Bathoen I of Bangwaketse, the Boers were defeated by a combination of strategy and fire power.

paragraph: Sechele and the London Missionary Society both complained about the Boers' actions to the Colonial Secretary in London. But because the British were at that time negotiating with the Boers over the Sand River Convention, the British High Commissioner was instructed not to go beyond "friendly remonstrances" with the Boers over the matter. The British did not want to risk their relationship with the Boers by appearing to side with Sechele. Moreover, British interests lay in colonising the area, rather than protecting its inhabitants. Sechele set out for England with the intention of seeking the protection of Queen Victoria, but his resources ran out by the time he reached Cape Town.

paragraph: Section::::Mission.

paragraph: Sechele had a profound knowledge of the Bible and a commitment to spreading Christianity. He began with his own people, teaching them to read and introducing them to the Bible. He also travelled many hundreds of miles to evangelise other African peoples. When Moffat led a group of missionaries into Matabeleland in 1859, he discovered that Sechele had preceded him and that the local Ndebele people held Christian prayers. Moffat's mission had little success as an outbreak of lung disease among the missionaries' oxen resulted in fear of the white missionaries. Officially, there were no converts among the Ndebele until the 1880s.

paragraph: After the departure of Livingstone, Sechele returned to some of his local customs, including rainmaking and polygamy. Missionaries complained that he used his great knowledge of the scriptures to defend his own actions. Neil Parsons, of the University of Botswana, stated that Sechele "did more to propagate Christianity in nineteenth-century southern Africa than virtually any single European missionary".

paragraph: Under his leadership, his region became a refuge to other people fleeing persecution, and the numbers that he ruled exceeded 30,000 at the time of his death in 1892.

paragraph: Cosmas I of Alexandria

paragraph: Cosmas I or Kosmas I () served as Greek Patriarch of Alexandria between ca. 727 and his death in 768.

paragraph: Cosmas was the first residential Chalcedonian (Melkite) patriarch to be established in Alexandria following the Muslim conquest of Egypt in the 640s. The see had remained vacant since, but Cosmas was appointed with the consent of both the Umayyad Caliph and the Byzantine Emperor. The chronicler Theophanes the Confessor reports that in 742/3, he abjured Monotheletism, the dominant doctrine among Alexandrian Melkites since it had been promulgated by Emperor Heraclius. As Cosmas himself was most likely not a Monothelete, this has been interpreted by modern scholarship as a garbled reference to Alexandria's recognition by the other Chalcedonian patriarchates.

paragraph: Eutychius of Alexandria

paragraph: Eutychius of Alexandria (Arabic: "Sa'id ibn Batriq" or "Bitriq"; 10 September 877 – 12 May 940) was the Melkite Patriarch of Alexandria. He is known for being one of the first Christian Egyptian writers to use the Arabic language. His writings include the chronicle "Nazm al-Jauhar" ("Row of Jewels"), also known by its Latin title "Eutychii Annales" ("The Annals of Eutychius").

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born in Fustat (old Cairo). Eutychius spent much of his life as a medical practitioner or "Mutatabbib". His life was roughly contemporary with Agapius the historian, although neither displays knowledge of the other.

paragraph: He did not know Greek, but was able to access Greek texts in existing Syriac translations.

paragraph: In 932 he became the Melkite Patriarch of Alexandria at the age of 60. Because he had never held any clerical office, his appointment met with considerable opposition, which lasted the remainder of his life. His appointment was probably due to the influence of the Moslem rulers.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: The most important work is the "Nazm al-Jauhar", a world chronicle, which he began before becoming Patriarch, and dedicated to his brother. It begins with the Creation, and runs down to his own times. His "Nazm al-Jauhar" is a valuable source for events in Persia prior to the rise of Islam and the later Sassanid rulers. For events after the rise of Islam, Eutychius makes use of Moslem sources. He also drew on legendary and hagiographical material.

paragraph: "Eutychii Annales": CHAPTER II: ADVERSITIES OF THE CHURCH.: 1 Persecutions of the Christians.: ...The Christians suffered less in this than in the preceding centuries. ...In the East especially in Syria and Palestine the Jews sometimes rose upon the Christians with great violence (Eutychius, Annales tom ii., p. 236, &c. Jo. Henr. Hottinger, Historia Orientalis, lib. i., c. id., p. 129, &c.) yet so unsuccessfully as to suffer severely for their temerity. (Mosheim 1847, p. 426, at Google Books)

paragraph: The history was adapted and continued to 1028 by Yahya ibn Sa'id, in which form it became known in Antioch and then Europe; but it continued to be expanded, and to circulate in this modified form. Numerous copies were made. However the autograph was recently located at Mount Sinai ("Sinaiticus Arabicus" 582). The start and end of the manuscript are missing, but can be reconstructed from copies.

paragraph: Other works are a book on medicine and an apologetic work. A manuscript of the former has been located in Aleppo, although not published. The latter text has not been found as yet.

paragraph: Harriet Winslow Sewall

paragraph: Harriet Winslow Sewall (June 20, 1819 in Portland, Maine – April 19, 1889) was an American poet, and editor of the collected letters of Lydia Maria Child.

paragraph: Winslow was born in Portland, Maine into a Quaker family. She was educated in Portland and at a boarding school in Providence, Rhode Island. She was, at least in her early years, interested in transcendentalism and animal magnetism; and arguably more practically engaged with contemporary anti-slave and women's rights movements.

paragraph: She wrote poetry from an early age, and for many years; but apparently for her own satisfaction and without a view to publication. A number of her works were published, however, and has been republished in a number of collections of American poetry.

paragraph: She married in 1848 Charles List, a journalist working on the "Commonwealth" newspaper. He soon became ill, relinquishing his job and placing the burden of support on Harriet, who was assisted by her relatively wealthy family. Charles died in 1856.

paragraph: In 1857 she married her late sister's husband the lawyer and abolitionist Samuel Edmund Sewall and in 1861 her father died, providing her with a "moderate fortune" enabling her to pursue philanthropic interests. The couple divided their time between Melrose, Massachusetts and Boston, Massachusetts. They were both early members of the New England Women's Club, a Women's suffrage organisation.

paragraph: In 1882 she arranged for publication the letters of her friend, the author Lydia Maria Child.

paragraph: Mr. Sewall died in December 1888 at age 89. She died in the following April, being struck by a train whilst crossing the Boston and Albany Railroad.

paragraph: A collection of her poems was published in November 1889.

Besides pole vaulting he competed nationally in the high jump, long jump, and in alpine ski jumping.

paragraph: Domenico dell'Allio

paragraph: Domenico dell'Allio (1505–1563) was an Italian Renaissance architect, working mostly in what was then Inner Austria, present-day Slovenia and the Austrian states of Styria and Carinthia. He is best known for his work in the "Landhaus" (Seat of Regional Government) in Graz (1557–1565). He is also known for turning the Varaždin Castle into a Water castle, which used to be shown on the 5 kuna banknote before it was withdrawn.

paragraph: He was the chief architect of the emperor Ferdinand I in his Inner Austrian domains, and was responsible for setting up the Italian-style modern fortification system in Croatia, along the border with the Ottoman Empire. He planned the town of Klagenfurt, which had been previously been a small settlement donated to the Carinthian estates by emperor Maximilian for their residence. He led the reconstruction of many castles that had been destroyed and frequently only partially rebuilt in the disastrous 1511 earthquake. His work is attested in several Sytrian towns, such as Radkersburg, Maribor and Ptuj.

paragraph: Dell'Allio popularized the Renessaince style in present-day southern Austria, Slovenia and central Croatia. He is considered the foremost Renaissance architect in the Eastern Alps in the 16th century. He was ennobled by Emperor Ferdinand in 1558.

paragraph: He went missing during one of his inspection tours of the Croatian-Ottoman borderlands.

paragraph: His brother Giovanni or Hans Dell'Allio was also an architect. The 17th centuries Austrian-Italian Baroque architects Andrea Allio the Elder and Andrea Allio the Younger were most probably his relatives.

paragraph: Margherita Durastanti

paragraph: Margherita Durastanti (active 1700–1734) was an Italian singer of the 18th century. Vocally, she is best described as a soprano, though later in her career her tessitura descended to that of a mezzo-soprano. First heard of professionally in Mantua in 1700–01, she later appeared in Bologna and Reggio Emilia (1710), Milan and Reggio (1713) and Florence (1715). Today she is particularly remembered for her association with the composer George Frideric Handel: indeed she enjoyed a longer personal association with the composer than any other musician.

paragraph: As well as performing many of his early Italian solo cantatas, Durastanti's first roles for Handel included Mary Magdalene in his oratorio "La resurrezione" (1708) and the title role in "Agrippina" (1709), in her capacity as "prima donna" of the S Giovanni Grisostomo Theatre in Venice, where she sang from 1709 to 1712. After singing at Parma, Florence, Naples (where she appeared in operas by Scarlatti), and, in 1719, Dresden, she came to London in 1720. News of her imminent arrival evinced the following unflattering comment from the librettist Rolli:

paragraph: However, she received a strong recommendation from Steffan Benedetto Pallavicini, court poet at Dresden:

paragraph: She was offered her contract by the Royal Academy company rather late in the day, so was probably not the Academy's first choice as a member of it. Handel on the other hand stayed in Dresden until her contract arrived.

paragraph: The roles Handel wrote for her during the next five years demonstrate her considerable abilities as a musician and actress, displaying a wide range of characters, both male and female, and an ability to cope with wide dissonant leaps in vocal lines and other difficulties, such as chromaticism and dramatic pauses.

paragraph: Section::::First period in England.

paragraph: Though engaged as the first "prima donna" in the new company, she in effect began as "primo uomo" ("first man"), creating the name-part in "Radamisto" in April 1720. She was gradually demoted as more vocally gifted singers arrived, though even her lower-status roles, such as that of Sesto in "Giulio Cesare" (1724) made considerable vocal and theatrical demands. In 1721 she gave birth to a girl, and King George I and the Princess Royal were among the child's godparents; in the autumn of that year she sang in Germany, and then in Italy during the spring of 1722. She returned to London in October 1722, but found herself superseded as "first woman" by the new sensation Francesca Cuzzoni. Clearly not particularly disconcerted by this turn of events, she remained in Handel's company for a further two seasons. Her final performance for him was a revival of Ariosti's "Coriolano" (March 1724), given for her benefit. In it she sang an English cantata to a text by Pope containing the lines "But let old charmers yield to new; /Happy soil, adieu, adieu!".

paragraph: Section::::Second period in England.

paragraph: Handel brought Durastanti back to England for his 1733–34 season, when she sang in revivals of "Ottone" and "Il pastor fido", as well as several "pasticcios". By this time she was probably in her fifties, and had been singing professionally for over thirty years. It is testimony to her enduring abilities that an aristocratic opera-lover of the time, Lady Bristol, was moved to comment:

paragraph: Although there is little surviving contemporary opinion of Durastanti's singing, Charles Burney wrote insightfully, though at second hand, of her performance in the first revival of Handel's "Floridante" in 1722:

He was the founder of Flushing Hospital, and was elected as a Republican to the Fifty-seventh Congress, holding office from March 4, 1901 to March 3, 1903. He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1902 to the Fifty-eighth Congress, and after leaving Congress engaged in banking in Bayside. He founded the Bayside National Bank in 1905 and was its president until his resignation in 1920. He resided in Bayside until his death in that city in 1935; interment was in Flushing Cemetery, Flushing, New York.

paragraph: Francis Saltus Saltus

paragraph: Francis Saltus Saltus (November 23, 1849 – June 24, 1889) was an American poet.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in 1849 in New York City to Francis Henry Saltus and his first wife, Julia Augustus Hubbard, he was the elder half-brother of once popular but now relatively obscure novelist Edgar Saltus. He was educated at Columbia University and later at the Roblot Institution in Paris. Saltus was the leader of a group of bohemians in New York, including his brother Edgar and the young James Huneker, which met at Billy Moulds' bar in Manhattan's University Place; they were fond of absinthe and had "a taste for anything exotic". Van Wyck Brooks remarked that the unhappy Saltus "looked like a Greek god gone to ruin, partly as a result of the absinthe that he drank to excess". His verse reflects a refined, erotic and decadent temperament similar to that of his brother, inspired primarily by Edgar Allan Poe, Théophile Gautier (of whom he was a student) and Charles Baudelaire. He was praised by influential editor William Marion Reedy as an 'American Baudelaire' whose verse had "the perfume of exquisite sadness." Able to converse in ten languages, Saltus also wrote poems in Italian, German and French.

paragraph: He was a frequent contributor to American and international periodicals, such as "Town Topics". A talented musician, he wrote four comic operas and much musical criticism. Much of his humorous, commercial work was written under the pseudonym Cupid Jones. Saltus wrote and edited a comic paper entitled "the Thistle" in the 1870s, the entire contents of which were written by him and signed with various pseudonyms. After an illness lasting several weeks, he died at midnight on June 24 of 1889 at the Riverside Sanitarium in Tarrytown, aged thirty-nine and was buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. Saltus' father, Francis H. Saltus, edited a four-volume edition of his poetical works after his death. Saltus left behind a good deal of unpublished material, including "five thousand lyrics for posthumous publication" and several musical biographies, including a life of Gaetano Donizetti which was never published.

paragraph: Berthold, Duke of Merania

paragraph: Berthold IV (c. 1159 – 12 August 1204), a member of the House of Andechs, was Margrave of Istria and Carniola (as Berthold II). By about 1180/82 he already bore the title of Duke of Merania, that is, the Adriatic seacoast of Dalmatia and Istria.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Berthold was the son of Count Berthold III of Andechs and his wife Hedwig of Wittelsbach. His father had been a loyal liensman of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and in turn was enfeoffed with the Istrian march upon the death of the Sponheim margrave Engelbert III.

paragraph: Young Berthold IV first appeared in 1170 and was mentioned as Count of Andechs in an 1172 deed. In 1175 he served as co-ruler in the March of Istria. After Emperor Frederick deposed Duke Henry the Lion in 1180, his mother's relative Otto of Wittelsbach received the Duchy of Bavaria, while Berthold was received the Duchy of Merania. The rule over "Merania" actually encompassed the same area as the old Istrian margraviate, but its ruler now gained much prestige from his new title and the comital House of Andechs was elevated to Princes of the Holy Roman Empire.

paragraph: In 1186, he accompanied Emperor Frederick's son Henry VI to Italy and his marriage with Constance of Sicily. In 1189, he led the third division of the imperial army and was its standard-bearer on the Third Crusade. In 1195, he appeared as "Vogt" (reeve) of Tegernsee Abbey in Bavaria. Berthold committed himself to join the Crusade of 1197, however, he did not participate until Henry's death in the same year. Though he had opposed the emperor's "Erbreichsplan", he backed the claims of Henry's younger brother Philip of Swabia against the politics of Pope Innocent III who supported Philip's Welf rival Otto IV. At this juncture, the House of Andechs was at the height of its power and influence, with extended possessions stretching from Franconia down to the Adriatic.

paragraph: Berthold died in 1204 and was buried at the Andechs private monastery in Dießen, Bavaria.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and issue.

paragraph: About 1180, Berthold married Agnes of Rochlitz (died 25 March 1195), a daughter of Margrave Dedi III of Lusatia from the Saxon House of Wettin. They had the following children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Otto I (d. 1234), succeeded his father as Duke of Merania, married Beatrice II of Hohenstaufen, daughter of Count Otto I of Burgundy, became Count palatine of Burgundy in 1211

paragraph: While passing through Serbia on the Third Crusade, Frederick Barbarossa met the Grand Prince Stefan Nemanja in Niš on 27 July 1189. There it was negotiated that a daughter of Berthold would marry Tohu, son of Prince Miroslav of Zahumlje on the feast of Saint George next (24 April 1190). This marriage does not seem to have taken place and the "Historia de Expeditione Friderici Imperatoris" does not name the daughter. Scholars are divided over whether it was one of Berthold's known daughters or else a fifth daughter not otherwise recorded.

paragraph: Juan Francisco de Montemayor Cordoba and Cuenca (1618-1685) was a Spanish lawyer and judge, who served as captain general and governor of Santo Domingo from 1660 to 1662, and as judge of the Real Chancellery of Mexico between 1667 and 1682. He also reconquered Tortuga Island from pirates and wrote various literary works on law, politics, and society.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Juan was born in 1618 in the municipality of Laluenga, in the old diocese of Lérida, in Huesca (Aragón Spain) and was baptized in his parish church on September 7, 1618. His parents were Nadal de Montemayor de Cuenca and María de Lissa, both originating from the bishopric of Barbastro, also in the Kingdom of Aragón. His parents were farmers who owned several houses and land in Laluenga, they also had another son named Ambrosio Montemayor de Cuenca.

paragraph: Of noble birth, Juan was the lord of the village of Alfocea. He studied at the school of Laluenga, later enrolling in the University of Huesca, where he studied jurisprudence. Around the age of 15 Juan enrolled in the faculty of law, thus beginning his legal career. In 1642, he was appointed judge of surveys of the Crown of Aragon and hearer of Catalonia in February, in 1643 he was appointed General Commissioner and Auditor General of the Army. After this, in 1645, he traveled to Santo Domingo, where he served as judge of the royal audience.

paragraph: In the Dominican audience he served as dean, president, governor, and finally captain general of Santo Domingo. As captain general, he tried to pacify the island and control the Native Americans who, due to the policy of his successor, thought about raising a rebellion. He also fought against French, English, and Dutch colonists, as well as buccaneers who frequently and increasingly attacked the Spaniards from various places they had occupied on islands near Hispaniola. During this he reconquered the Tortuga Islands, where there was a community of French buccaneers, and then defended it from English attacks. Then he refortified the Island of Santo Domingo and reorganized the militias.

paragraph: In 1657 the crown rewarded his success by naming him a hearer of the Royal Chancellery of Mexico, where he exercised a policy similar to that of which he practiced in Santo Domingo, in terms of pacifying the natives. In addition, it boosted the economic growth of public finances, which until then had been ruined. Juan was also the police judge of Mexico City between 1669 and 1673.

paragraph: He retired in 1682 and returned to Huesca, where he was to die on August 21, 1685, however, it is possible that he actually died in Madrid. He was buried in the church of Carmen de la Observancia de Huesca, and was then transferred to the church in the village of Alfocea, as he requested before his death. In this church his portrait, praise, and weapons are preserved, as well as an inscription indicating that the temple was raised at his expense.

paragraph: Section::::Writings.

paragraph: As a literary man, Juan wrote many works. His works can be divided into four groups: works of common civil law or Aragonese law, works of Aragon law, works of Indian legal issues, and works of ecclesiastical character. The most notable of his works were:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Ad comandae, sive Depositi Instrumentum scholium" (book that was published in Zaragoza in 1644)

paragraph: Friedrich II von Graben

paragraph: Frederick II von Graben (died before 1463), also called Frederick the Younger (), was a Styrian noble, a member of the "edelfrei" Graben von Stein family. He held the titles as Lord of Kornberg and Marburg (in Lower Styria), as well as burgrave of Riegersburg.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Frederick's ancestors were of the Styrian branch of the Graben von Stein family, which sprang out from the princely "Meinhardiner" dynasty; his parents were Frederick I von Graben (died at Kornberg Castle), progenitor of the Kornberg line, and Katharina von Summeregk (Sommeregg). Frederick II succeeded his father in Styria, while his brother Andreas von Graben (d. 1463) inherited the Carinthian (Ortenburg) estates of their mother.

paragraph: In 1438 Frederick II married Elisabeth Steinwald von Fladnitz. Their son Ulrich III von Graben (d. 1486), a loyal follower of Emperor Frederick III like his father, was appointed "Landeshauptmann" governor of the Styrian duchy in 1462.

paragraph: Frederick first appeared in a 1401 deed, when he received the burgraviate of Riegersburg serving the Walsee noble dynasty from Swabia. He soon acquired further estates from Seckau Abbey and, since 1443, owned the villages of Neudorf and Pölan as well as parts of the villages Altendorf near Wolfsberg in Carinthia and Wanofezen. From 1446 he is documented as a member of the Styrian estates ("Landstände") and in 1456 received, together with his son Ulrich III, the pawned Lordship ("Herrschaft") of Marburg from the Walsee owners. In 1461 he signed a contract in which Laibach (Ljubljana) in Carniola became the see of a diocese.
