paragraph: Agnes Broun

paragraph: Agnes Broun (or Brown) (17 March 1732 – 14 January 1820), or Agnes Burnes, was the mother of the poet Robert Burns. Her father, Gilbert (1708–1774), was the tenant of the 300 acre farm of Craigenton, in Kirkoswald parish, South Ayrshire, Scotland.

paragraph: Section::::Life and character.

paragraph: Agnes Broun was aged just 10 when her mother, Agnes Rainie (1708–1742), died. As the oldest of six siblings Agnes spent the next two years looking after the family. In 1744, after her father had found a new wife, Broun was sent to live in Maybole with her maternal grandmother, Jean Rainie. Her grandmother was a repository of much oral tradition, including Scottish songs and ballads.

paragraph: Broun's father Gilbert remarried twice - Margaret Blaine (1718–1751) and Catherine Mott (1747–1820). Broun had no great liking for her stepmothers, the latter of whom was several years her junior, and this may explain why Robert Burns had no contact with his maternal grandfather.

paragraph: Broun attended a dame school held in a weaver's cottage and learned psalms by heart, basic reading skills, but did not learn to write, not even her .

paragraph: She was engaged to William Nelson, a ploughman, with whom she worked , but broke off the engagement after seven years due, reportedly, to an indiscretion on Nelson’s part. It is thought that she met William Burnes or Burness, 11 years her senior, a market gardener, at the Maybole Fair in 1756. They married on 3 December 1757 in Ayr, and settled at Alloway, South Ayrshire, living in a clay cottage that William had planned and built. Here they raised four of their seven children, including her eldest, Robert Burns, born on 25 January 1759. In 1767, about a year after moving to Mount Oliphant, Broun gave birth to William Burnes (b. 30 July), followed by John (b. 10 July 1769) and Isobel (b. 27 July 1771). Later homes were Lochlea, Mossgiel, and finally Grant's Braes, Bolton, near Haddington in East Lothian where she died.

paragraph: When Broun's husband William Burnes died aged 63 in 1784, she went to live with her son, Gilbert, at Mossgiel until 1798, and then at Dinning in Nithsdale for two years, before they moved to Grant's Braes, East Lothian. She died aged 87, and is buried in the churchyard in Bolton Parish Church, Bolton, East Lothian. She had seven children, three of whom predeceased her. Of her many grandchildren, at least ten died before her, a reflection of her own old age and the much shorter life expectancies of those times.

paragraph: According to Robert Burns’ sister, Mrs. Begg, she "“was rather under the average height; inclined to plumpness, but neat, shapely, and full of energy; having a beautiful pink-and-white complexion, a fine square forehead, pale red hair but dark eyebrows and dark eyes often ablaze with a temper difficult of control. Her disposition was naturally cheerful; her manner, easy and collected; her address, simple and unpresuming; and her judgement uncommonly sound and good. She possessed a fine musical ear, and sang well.”"

paragraph: Mark Twain wrote of her in "The Innocents Abroad" (Ch. XXXVI): "It reminds me of what Robert Burns’ mother said when they erected a stately monument to his memory: ""Ah, Robbie, ye asked them for bread and they hae gi'en ye a stane."""

paragraph: Section::::Influence upon Robert Burns.

paragraph: She is widely known to have entertained her young “Rabbie” with legends from local oral traditions, and folk songs. The biographer Hecht relates that ""her sweet singing was heard as she went about the heavy work of the day, for she had a good voice and a wonderful stock of old and new ballads and songs, such as were current amongst the people. ... In the art of story-telling she had a rival in an old linswoman, Betty Davidson, who was frequently a guest in the little household at Alloway.""

paragraph: Broun is credited with having a significant influence upon Burns' love for song. A relative, Betty Davidson, was a greater influence, These twin influences resulted in him writing or revising nearly 350 songs throughout his life. Most of these songs were published, without fee, in the ""Scots Musical Museum"" compiled by James Johnson and the ""Select Collection of Original Scottish Airs"" published by George Thomson.

paragraph: The following bawdy song is said to have been her favourite ballad and also that of her son:

paragraph: Section::::Memorials and monuments.

paragraph: Broun was buried with a son and daughter in Bolton Parish Kirkyard within a railed enclosure. The stone was erected by Gilbert Burns in memory of his children.

paragraph: The inscription on her gravestone reads:

paragraph: "ERECTED By GILBERT BURNS, Factor at Grants Braes, In Memory of his Children ISABELLA, who died 3 July 1815, in the 7th year of her age, AGNES, who died 14th Septr 1815, in the 15th year of her age, JANET, who died 30th Octor 1816 in the 18th year of her age; And of his Mother, AGNES BROWN, who died 14 Janry 1820, in the 88th year of her age; whose mortal remains lie all buried here. Also of other two of his Children VIZ. JEAN, who died on the 4th of Jany 1827, in the 20th year of her age. and JOHN, who died on the 26th Feby 1827, in the 25th year of his age. GILBERT BURNS their Father died on the 8th April 1827 in the 67th year of his age. Also buried here, ANABELLA, sister of GILBERT BURNS, who died March 2."

paragraph: There is a monument to her, called Burns' Mother's Well, near Bolton on the roadside from Haddington, East Lothian.

paragraph: According to the Scottish Gazetteer Project, the inscription for the well reads: "Drink of the pure crystals and not only be ye succoured but also refreshed in the mind. Agnes Broun, 1732 - 1820. To the mortal and immortal memory and in noble tribute to her, who not only gave a son to Scotland but to the whole world and whose own doctrines he preached to humanity that we might learn."

paragraph: In 1932, William Baxter FSA (Scot) restored the well. Some away is the site of one of the Burns’s former homes.

paragraph: Section::::Micro-history.

paragraph: The midwife at the birth of Robert Burns was Agnes McClure, wife of the blacksmith John Tennant, and their next-door neighbour.

paragraph: She had a major role in cultivating the five acres at Alloway's New Gardens, keeping poultry, growing vegetables and making cheeses using milk from her four or so cattle the family kept.

paragraph: Broun's half-sister was Jean Brown (1750–1821) who, in 1775, married James Allan and lived at Old Rome Ford near Gatehead, in East Ayrshire. It was at Old Rome that Robert Burns briefly lodged in the summer of 1786 while avoiding a writ from James Armour in regards to his relationship with Jean Armour. The Allans were the parents of Burns' first cousin, Captain Alexander Allan, who founded the Allan Shipping Line in 1819.

paragraph: Samuel Peacock, Burns's partner in the flax-dressing business at Irvine, is said to have been a half-brother of Broun.

paragraph: A bed and breakfast called the Whitestone Cottage, on the Culzean estate, Ayrshire, claims to be Agnes Broun's birthplace.

paragraph: Joß Fritz

paragraph: Joss Fritz (c.1470–c.1525) was a late fifteenth and early sixteenth century insurgent who lived in Germany. Full name Joseph Fritz, he was a serf from Untergrombach, Bruchsal.

paragraph: In 1512, Fritz continued as a leader in a series of freedom oriented rebellions against local feudal and church rule started by Hans Boheim in 1476, 1493, 1501. Fritz was "a soldier of commanding presence and great natural eloquence, used to battle and above all to patience. He was one of those who had escaped being quartered. His banner was blue silk with a white cross, and underneath the motto, "O Lord, help the righteous." Fritz was the William Tell of his times. No wonder his name is a favorite one among the Germans." J. H. Ward.

paragraph: Fritz was particularly active in the Upper Rhine area, organizing at least three major Bundschuh revolts, in 1502, 1512 and 1519. These revolts were all suppressed before they could take form, however, as he was repeatedly betrayed by fellow conspirators.

paragraph: Hugh Magnus

paragraph: Hugh Magnus () (1007 – 17 September 1025) was co-King of France under his father, Robert II, from 1017 until his death in 1025. He was a member of the House of Capet, a son of Robert II by his third wife, Constance of Arles.

paragraph: The first Capetian King of France, Hugh Capet, had ensured his family's succession to the throne by having his son, Robert II, crowned and accepted as King during his own lifetime; father and son had ruled together as King thenceforth until Hugh Capet's death. Robert II, when his son was old enough, determined to do the same. Hugh Magnus was thus crowned King of France on 9/19 June 1017, and thenceforth ruled beside his father. However, when older, he rebelled against Robert.

paragraph: Hugh died, perhaps of a fall from his horse, at Compiègne in 1025/1026 while preparing a rebellion against his father, aged around 18 years old.

paragraph: Rodulfus Glaber was fulsome in his praise of the young king, writing: "My pen cannot express all of the great and good qualities that he showed...in all things he was better than the best. No elegy can ever equal his merits."

paragraph: As a King of France, he would be numbered Hugh II; however, he is rarely referred to as such as he predeceased his father.

paragraph: Juliet Stillman Severance

paragraph: Juliet Hall Worth Stillman Severance (1 July 1833 in De Ruyter, Madison County, New York – 3 September 1919 in New York City) was an American physician and feminist of the 19th century.

paragraph: She was one of the first woman physicians of the United States, having graduated in 1858. She opposed slavery, death penalty and abortion and supported the temperance movement. She was the leader of several Labour organizations. In the biographical dictionary "Women of the Century" (1893), she is called "a radical of the radicals" and also "a model mother and a housekeeper".

paragraph: She campaigned for women rights and the right to life of the unborn child, believing that marriage and motherhood should be affirming choices for women. In her article, "Is the Present Marriage System a Failure?", published in the progressive Chicago newspaper "Universe" on 28 August 1869, she states: "Marriage should be a soul-union, not a curse ... not a merging of one life into another, but ... two individuals uniting their lives for mutual good and the good of humanity — it may be in reproduction, or it may be in giving birth to higher, nobler ideas, and outworking them in noble deeds and grand achievements ... There is not a child in a hundred that is begotten with the consent of the mother. As the present marriage system makes man the owner of woman — her legal master — she is expected to submit to his gratification ... When the marriage system is what it should be, and woman controls in these matters, instead of man ... Restellism [abortion] shall cease, because there will be no demand for it."

paragraph: Cornelis Christiaan Dommersen

paragraph: Cornelis Christiaan Dommersen (Dommershuijzen), ( Utrecht, 11 November 1842 – The Hague, 23 May 1928) was a Dutch painter and watercolourist. He signed his work as C.C. Dommershuizen, Chr. Dommelshuizen, Christian Dommelshuizen and C. Dommersen.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: The spelling of the Dutch family name is rather complicated as it is spelled in many different ways such as Dommelshuizen, Dommershuizen, Dommershuyzen, Dommershuijzen, Dommerson, with occasionally the Dutch prefix 'van'. Pre 1700 the family came from Dahlheim, near Koblenz, in Germany, so their family name was originally 'Dommershausen'. Although the paintings are usually signed as Dommersen. Cornelis Christiaan's older brother was Pieter Cornelis Dommersen (1833-1918), who was also born in Utrecht. Pieter Cornelis was a painter as well, gaining more fame than his younger brother. Both were illegitimate sons of Cornelia Dommershuitzen . In around 1850 Pieter Cornelis Dommersen moved to England and stayed there till his death in Hexham in 1918. Pieter Cornelis Dommersen had a son called William Raymond Dommersen (1859-1927), who also became a painter in England.

paragraph: Cornelis Christiaan specialized just like his brother in sea -and river scapes and coastal scenery as those paintings had found a revival during the 19th century in Europe. He traveled abroad to countries such as England, America, Belgium and France, just like his countryman Abraham Hulk Senior did. However, in the end he found satisfaction painting not only river- and seascapes in the Netherlands but also the interior of villages and towns along the rivers. On his travels, he was often accompanied by his brother and his nephew. He wappears to have been married twice without issue.

paragraph: He married twice, first in The Hague Henriette Johanna Philippo, who was born c. 1852 in Amsterdam. He married 2nd in The Hague 26 May 1904 Carolina Maria Fredrica de Geus, who was born in Houtrijk en Polanen on 24 April 1852. Both marriages seem to have been childless.

paragraph: Mauritz Håkan Björnström-Steffansson (also referred to as Hokan B. Steffanson), (November 9, 1883 – May 21, 1962) was a Swedish businessman who survived the sinking of the RMS "Titanic" in 1912. In early 1913, Steffansson filed by far the largest claim for financial compensation made against the White Star Line, for the loss of a single item of luggage or cargo as a result of the disaster.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Mauritz Håkan was born to Erik Samuel Steffansson and Berta Maria Björnström on November 9, 1883 in Österfärnebo, Sweden. His father was a pioneer in the Swedish wood pulp industry. After studying chemical engineering at the Stockholm Institute of Technology, Steffansson was awarded a Swedish government scholarship to continue his studies in Washington, D.C. He became a reserve "underlöjtnant" in the Svea Artillery Regiment in 1904.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: In 1917, Steffansson married Mary Pinchot Eno, whom he was introduced to by fellow "Titanic" survivor Helen Churchill Candee. In the 1920s, Steffansson made a large fortune by acquiring significant interests in Canadian paper and pulp industries, and in real estate. He was also responsible for developing significant real estate holdings in the Park Avenue area of New York into apartments and hotels. He retired in 1930.

paragraph: Mary Björnström-Steffansson died in 1953, Mauritz Håkan in May 1962. At the time of his death, the couple's residence on East 57th Street was one of the few remaining private houses on Manhattan island. As the Björnström-Steffanssons were childless, the bulk of their fortune was left to Mauritz Håkan’s nephew Thord Steffansson.

He served as an intelligence officer at a prisoner-of-war camp for Germans in Oklahoma before joining the prosecution staff at the Borkum Island trial, a case involving the assault and execution of seven United States airmen.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Lyons was born in Boston, Massachusetts on September 17, 1899. After graduating from Northeastern University Law School in 1921, he practiced law until 1933 at which time he was offered a position with the Home Owners' Loan Corporation of the US federal government. Lyons soon became the corporation’s assistant regional counsel for New York, New England and New Jersey, after which he began his army career.

paragraph: Section::::Army career.

paragraph: Lyons was drafted into the Army on June 2, 1943. He began his career as an intelligence officer at a German prisoner-of-war camp in El Reno, Oklahoma, where he remained until 1945. Lyons spent the next year as part of the first group of Army lawyers tending to war crime investigations and trials in Europe. He was honorably discharged from active duty in 1946, and from the Reserve on April 1, 1953.

paragraph: Section::::Army career.:Borkum Island trial.

paragraph: At the end of World War II, Allied forces including the United States, Great Britain, Russia and France, agreed to prosecute German war criminals on the basis of military law. Negotiations included the reconciliation of European concepts of justice with those of the United States, which sought to criminalize aggressive warfare as opposed to specific war crimes.

paragraph: Associate Justice Robert H. Jackson, chief war crimes prosecutor for the United States Supreme Court at the time of the Borkum Island trial, told the "New York Herald Tribune", "It seemed a very great mistake to let this war end on a note of simple vengeance. It would be a shame to close the war without making the story known to the people." Jackson also hoped that the war crime trials would provide further evidence to the public for recognizing the "incipient stage" of Fascism, alive and well at the time of publication.

paragraph: As part of this agreement, Lyons and two other Army lawyers were chosen to serve on the prosecution staff of the 1945 Borkum Island trial in Ludwisburg, Germany. In the trial, 15 German defendants were accused of forcing 7 U.S. airmen to make an eight-mile "death march" across the island of Borkum, which ultimately resulted in their executions. The prosecution staff tackled the challenge of proving that the march through the island was planned in a way that would result in "maximum exposure to violence". Lyons and his colleagues proved their case in part through eye witness testimony asserting that officers of the guard leading the march punished those guards who were considered to be too lenient on the U.S. airmen.

paragraph: Upon completion of the trial, Lyons returned to the United States and was discharged from active duty.

paragraph: Section::::Civilian life.

paragraph: Upon discharge, Lyons served as a U.S. Army civilian employee in the Pentagon's War Crimes Branch. Here he continued to support the prosecution of German war criminals for the remainder of his career. He joined the Security Screening Board in 1955 and the Clemency and Parole Board for War Criminals in 1957. Lyons was discharged from the Army Reserve in 1953, and retired from the War Crimes Branch as chief in 1959.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Lyons died at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital on December 28, 1990 at the age of 91, leaving behind his wife Mary E. Lyons ("née" Moloney).

paragraph: Maria Rundell

paragraph: Maria Rundell (1745 – 16 December 1828) was an English writer. Little is known about most of her life, but, in 1805, when she was 61, she sent an unedited collection of recipes and household advice to John Murray, of whose family—owners of the John Murray publishing house—she was a friend. She asked for, and expected, no payment or royalties.

paragraph: Murray published the work, "A New System of Domestic Cookery", in November 1805. It was a huge success and several editions followed; the book sold around half a million copies, and between 5,000 and 10,000 copies were printed each year. The book was aimed at middle class housewives. In addition to dealing with food preparation, it offers advice on medical remedies and how to set up a home brewery and includes a section entitled "Directions to Servants". The book contains an early recipe for tomato sauce—possibly the first—and the first recipe in print for Scotch eggs. Rundell also advises readers on being economical with their food, and avoiding waste.

paragraph: In 1819 Rundell asked Murray to stop publishing "Domestic Cookery", as she was increasingly unhappy with the way the work had declined with each subsequent edition. She wanted to issue a new edition with a new publisher. A court case ensued, and legal wrangling between the two sides continued until 1823, when Rundell accepted Murray's offer of £2,100 for the rights to the work.

paragraph: Rundell wrote a second book, "Letters Addressed to Two Absent Daughters", published in 1814. The work contains the advice a mother would give to her daughters on subjects such as death, friendship, how to behave in polite company and the types of books a well-mannered girl should read. She died in December 1828 while visiting Lausanne, Switzerland.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Rundell was born Maria Eliza Ketelby in 1745 to Margaret ("" Farquharson) and Abel Johnson Ketelby; Maria was the couple's only child. Abel Ketelby, who lived with his family in Ludlow, Shropshire, was a barrister of the Middle Temple, London. Little is known about Rundell's life; the food writers Mary Aylett and Olive Ordish observe "in one of the most copiously recorded periods of our history, when biographies of even the light ladies can be written in full, the private life of the most popular writer of the day is unrecorded".

paragraph: On 30 December 1766 Maria married Thomas Rundell, either a surgeon from Bath, Somerset, or a well-known jeweller of the firm Rundell and Bridge of Ludgate Hill in the City of London. The couple had two sons and three daughters.

paragraph: The family lived in Bath at some point, and they may also have lived for a while in London. Thomas died in Bath on 30 September 1795 after a long illness. Rundell moved to Swansea, South Wales, possibly to live with a married daughter, and sent two of her younger daughters to London, where they lived with their aunt and uncle.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Writing.

paragraph: During her marriage and in widowhood, Rundell collected recipes and household advice for her daughters. In 1805, when she was 61, she sent the unedited collection to John Murray, of whose family—owners of the John Murray publishing house—she was a friend. It had been sixty years since Hannah Glasse had written "The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy", and forty years since Elizabeth Raffald had written "The Experienced English Housekeeper"—the two last cookery books that had sold well in Britain—and Murray realised that there was a gap in the market.

paragraph: The document Rundell gave Murray was nearly ready for publication; he added a title page, the frontispiece and an index, and had the collection edited. He registered it at Stationer's Hall as his property, and the first edition of "A New System of Domestic Cookery" was published in December 1805. As was common with female authors of the time, the book was published under the pseudonym "A Lady". Rundell wanted no payment for the book, as in some social circles, the receipt of royalties was thought improper, and the first edition contained a note from the publishers that read:

paragraph: the directions which follow were intended for the conduct of the families of the authoress's own daughters, and for the good arrangement of their table, so as to unite a good figure with proper economy ... This little work would have been a treasure to herself, when she first set out in life, and she therefore hopes it may be useful to others. In that idea it is given to the public, and as she will receive from it no emolument, so she trusts it will escape without censure.

paragraph: The book was well-received and successful. The reviewer in the "European Magazine and London Review" thought it an "ingenious treatise" that was "universally and perpetually interesting". The unnamed male reviewer for "The Monthly Repertory of English Literature" wrote "we can only report that certain of our female friends (better critics on this subject than ourselves) speak favourably of the work". The reviewer also admired the "sundry recipes, which may properly be called 'kitchen physic', with others, which are useful for ladies to know, and for good housewives to practise". "The Lady's Monthly Museum" observed the work was "cheap in price, perspicuous in its directions, and satisfying in its results".

paragraph: Several editions of "A New System of Domestic Cookery" were published, enlarged and revised, and between 5,000 and 10,000 copies were printed each year. In 1808, Murray sent £150 to Rundell, saying that her gift was more profitable that he thought it would be. She replied to his letter, saying "I never had the smallest idea of any return for what really was a free gift to one whom I had long regarded as my friend".

paragraph: In 1814 Rundell published her second book, "Letters Addressed to Two Absent Daughters". The work contains the advice a mother would give to her daughters. The reviewer for "The Monthly Review" thought the book was "uniformly moral, and contains some sensible and useful reflections; particularly those on death and on friendship". The reviewer for "The British Critic" thought the work "contains much admirable instruction; the sentiments are always good, often admirable".

paragraph: Rundell wrote to Murray in 1814 to complain that he was neglecting "Domestic Cookery", which impinged on the book's sales. She complained of one editor "He has made some dreadful blunders, such as directing rice pudding seeds to be kept in a keg of lime water, which latter was mentioned to preserve eggs in." She complained that "strange expressions" had been included in a new edition, saying "In sober English, the 2nd edition of DC has been miserably prepared for the press." Murray wrote to his wife about Rundell's complaint:

paragraph: I have had such a letter from Mrs Rundell, accusing me of neglecting her book, stopping the sales, etc. Her conceit passes everything; but she again desires the reviews to be sent to her, she shall have them with a little truth in a moderate dose of remonstrance from me.

paragraph: By 1819 the first term of "Domestic Cookery"s copyright had expired. That November, Rundell wrote to Murray asking him to stop selling the book, and telling him that she would be publishing a new edition of the book through Longman. She obtained an injunction to ensure he was unable to continue selling the book. Murray obtained an injunction against Rundell to ensure she did not publish the book. The Lord Chancellor, John Scott stated that neither side could have the rights, and decided that it would need to be decided by a court of law, not a court of equity. In 1823, Rundell accepted an offer of £2,100 for her rights in the book.

paragraph: Rundell spent much of her widowhood travelling, staying for periods with family and close friends, as well as abroad. Rundell's son, Edmund Waller Rundell, joined the well-known jewellers and goldsmiths Rundell and Bridge; the firm was run by Philip Rundell, a relation of Maria Rundell's late husband. Edmund later became a partner within the firm. In 1827, Philip died; he left Maria £20,000, and £10,000 each to Edmund and Edmund's wife. In 1828, Rundell travelled to Switzerland. She died in Lausanne on 16 December.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:"Domestic Cookery".

paragraph: The first edition of "A New System of Domestic Cookery" comprises 290 pages, with a full index at the end. It was written in what the historian Kate Colquhoun calls a "plain-speaking" style; the food writer Maxime de la Falaise describes it as "an intimate and charming style", and Geraldene Holt considers it "strikingly practical and charmingly unpretentious". The work was aimed at the "respectable middle class", according to "Petits Propos Culinaires". Colquhoun considers that the book was "aimed at the growing band of anxious housewives who had not been taught how to run a home".

paragraph: "Domestic Cookery" provides advice on how to set up a home brewery, provides recipes for the sick, and has a section of "Directions to Servants". Quayle describes the book as "the first manual of household management and domestic economy which could claim any pretension to completeness". Rundell advises readers on being economical with their food, and avoiding waste. Her introduction opens:

paragraph: The mistress of a family should always remember that the welfare and good management of the house depend on the eye of the superior; and consequently that nothing is too trifling for her notice, whereby waste may be avoided; and this attention is of more importance now that the price of every necessary of life is increased to an enormous degree.

paragraph: The book contains recipes for fish, meat, pies, soups, pickles, vegetables, pastry, puddings, fruits, cakes, eggs, cheese and dairy. Rundell included detailed instructions on techniques to ensure the best results. Some of the recipes were from Mary Kettilby's work "A Collection of above Three Hundred Receipts in Cookery, Physick and Surgery", first published in 1714.

paragraph: The food writer Alan Davidson holds that "Domestic Cookery" does not have many innovative features, although it does have an early recipe for tomato sauce. The fourth edition (printed in 1809) provides the first printed recipe for Scotch eggs.

paragraph: Subsequent editions were expanded, with some small errors corrected. Additions included medical remedies and advice; the journalist Elizabeth Grice notes that these, "if efficacious, could spare women the embarrassment of submitting to a male doctor". The 1840 edition was expanded by the author Emma Roberts, who included many Anglo-Indian recipes. The new edition—the sixty-fourth—included seven recipes for curry powder, three for Mulligatawny soup and seventeen curries, including: King of Oudh's, Lord Clive's, Madras, Dopiaza, Malay, plain and vegetable. For this edition of "Domestic Cookery", underneath Rundell's statement that she would receive no emolument from the book, Murray added a note: "The authoress, Mrs Rundell, sister of the eminent jeweller on Ludgate Hill, was afterwards induced to accept the sum of two thousand guineas from the publisher."

paragraph: Section::::Works.:"Addressed to Two Absent Daughters".

paragraph: "Addressed to Two Absent Daughters" takes the form of thirty-eight letters from a mother to two absent daughters, Marianne and Ellen. The advice included how to behave in polite company, the types of books a well-mannered girl should read, and how to write letters. As it was normal at the time for girls and young women to have no formal education, it was common and traditional for mothers to provide such advice. The book contains no responses from the two fictional daughters, although the text refers to the receipt of "your joint letters" at several points.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: "A New System of Domestic Cookery" was the dominant cookery book of the early nineteenth century, outselling all other works. There were sixty-seven editions between 1806 and 1846, and it sold over half a million copies in Rundell's lifetime. New editions were released into the 1880s In America, there were fifteen editions between 1807 and 1844, and thirty-seven in total.

paragraph: Rundell's work was plagiarised by at least five other publishers. In 1857, when Isabella Beeton began writing the cookery column for "The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine", many of the recipes were copied from "Domestic Cookery". In 1861, Isabella's husband, Samuel, published "Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management", which also contained several of Rundell's recipes. "Domestic Cookery" was also heavily plagiarised in America, with Rundell's recipes being reproduced in Mary Randolph's 1824 work "The Virginia House-Wife" and Elizabeth Ellicott Lea's "A Quaker Woman's Cookbook".

paragraph: Rundell is quoted around twenty times in the "Oxford English Dictionary", including for the terms "apple marmalade", "Eve's pudding", "marble veal" and "neat's tongue".

paragraph: Grice, writing in "The Daily Telegraph", and the journalist Severin Carrell, writing in "The Guardian", both consider Rundell a "domestic goddess", although Grice writes that "she didn't have "Nigella [Lawson]'s sexual frisson, or Delia [Smith]'s uncomplicated kitchen manners". For Grice, "Compared with the illustrious Eliza Acton – who could write better – and the ubiquitous Mrs Beeton – who died young – Mrs Rundell has unfairly slipped from view."

paragraph: Rundell has been admired by several modern cooks and food writers. The 20th-century cookery writer Elizabeth David references Rundell in her articles, collected in "Is There a Nutmeg in the House", which includes a recipe for "burnt cream" (crème brûlée). In her 1970 work "Spices, Salt and Aromatics in the English Kitchen", David includes Rundell's recipe for fresh tomato sauce; she writes that this "appears to be one of the earliest published English recipes for tomato sauce". In "English Bread and Yeast Cookery" (1977), she includes Rundell's recipes for muffins, Lancashire pikelets (crumpets), "potato rolls", Sally Lunns, and black bun. The food writer and chef Michael Smith used some of Rundell's recipes in his 1973 book "Fine English Cookery", which re-worked historical recipes for modern times. The food writer Jane Grigson admired Rundell's work, and in her 1978 book "Jane Grigson's Vegetable Book", she referred to Rundell's writing, and included her recipe for Red Cabbage Stewed in the English Manner.

paragraph: Arthur Meyer (journalist)

paragraph: Arthur Meyer (June 16, 1844 in Le Havre – February 2, 1924 in Paris) was a French press baron. He was director of "Le Gaulois", a notable conservative French daily newspaper that was eventually taken over by "Le Figaro" (run by François Coty at the time) in 1929. Meyer was a royalist, an unusual personality, a key player at the crossroads of society life, the press and politics under the French Third Republic.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Arthur Meyer was born on June 16, 1844 in Le Harve, France. He was the grandson of a rabbi from a modest Jewish family.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:"Le Gaulois".

paragraph: In 1882, Meyer, who had hired Octave Mirbeau as a secretary two years earlier, took over the newspaper "Le Gaulois" permanently. The paper had been founded in July 1868 by Edmond Tarbé des Sablons and Henri de Pène, and it was essentially the main daily social paper of the nobility and the elite of the bourgeoisie in France. Catering to the high-class socialites, "Le Gaulois" had a relatively small circulation, between 20 and 30 thousand copies, but it had a very real influence on French society. It was the first newspaper to have a column about films, which first appeared in March 1916. From June 1897 until August 1914, "Le Gaulois du dimanche" (the Sunday edition of "Le Gaulois") was the weekly literary supplement of choice and it contained many serials over the years; it was in "Le Gaulois du dimanche" that Raymond Roussel's "Locus Solus" appeared.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Other enterprises.

paragraph: In 1881, Meyer had the idea, along with Alfred Grévin, to represent the personalities that made the front page of the news section as wax mannequins, which allowed visitors – in an era before photography was used in the press – to put a face to the names in the news. This was the beginning of the Musée Grévin, which opened its doors on June 5, 1882 and swiftly became successful.

paragraph: Section::::Political Life.

paragraph: In 1888, Meyer supported the general Georges Ernest Boulanger and plotted with the Duchess of Uzés to bring about the return of the monarchy. He engaged in a duel with Édouard Drumont, who had insulted his origins in "La France Juive", and also supported the guilt of fellow Jew Alfred Dreyfus, who was wrongfully accused of treason in the aforementioned Dreyfus affair. Meyer converted to Catholicism in 1901 without ceasing to be the target of the anti-Semitic activist group Action Française.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Meyer married Mlle de Turenne, a young aristocrat, in 1904 – a marriage that came relatively late in his life. Meyer died on February 2, 1924 in Paris France. He was 79.

paragraph: Gebhard (III) of Constance

paragraph: Gebhard III ("c." 1040 – 12 November 1110) was Bishop of Constance and defender of papal rights against imperial encroachments during the Investiture Controversy.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was a son of Berthold II, Duke of Carinthia, and a brother of Berthold II, Duke of Swabia. For some time, he was provost of Kanten, then entered the Benedictine monastery in Hirschau and, on 22 December 1084, was consecrated Bishop of Constance by the cardinal-legate, Otto of Ostia, the future Urban II. The see of Constance was then occupied by the imperial anti-Bishop Otto I, who, though excommunicated and deposed by Pope Gregory VII in 1080, retained his see by force of arms. At an imperial synod held in Mainz, in April, 1085, Gebhard and 14 other German bishops who remained faithful to Gregory VII were deposed, and Otto I was declared the lawful Bishop of Constance. However, the latter died in the beginning of 1086, and Gebhard was able to take possession of his see. One of his first acts as bishop was the reform of the Benedictine monastery of Petershausen near Constance, which he recruited with monks from Hirschau. In 1089, he consecrated the new cathedral of Constance, to replace the old one which had fallen into ruins in 1052.

paragraph: On 18 April 1089, Pope Urban II appointed him and Bishop Altmann of Passau Apostolic-vicars for Germany. Arnold, a monk of St. Gall, whom Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor appointed anti-Bishop of Constance on 28 March 1092, tried in vain to eject Gebhard from the See of Constance. The latter was brothers with Bertold II, Welf I, Duke of Bavaria, and was known among the monks of Hirschau and Petershausen, and the citizens of Constance. In 1094, Gebhard held a synod of reform at Constance, and in 1095, he attended the Council of Piacenza. In the same year, he participated in the consecration of Arnulf III, Archbishop of Milan. Soon, however, the influence of Henry IV began to increase in Germany. In 1103, Gebhard was driven from his see, and the imperial antibishop, Arnold, usurped the bishopric. With the assistance of Henry V, Gebhard regained his see in 1105, freed the king from the ban by order of Pope Paschal II, and accompanied him on his journey to Saxony. Gebhard attended the Synod of Nordhausen on 27 May 1105, the diet at Mainz on Christmas, 1105, was sent as imperial legate to Rome in the spring of 1106, and was present at the Council of Guastalla in October of the same year. In the fresh dispute that arose between Paschal II and Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor, Gebhard seemed to side with the emperor, but, after being severely reprimanded by the pope, withdrew from public life, and devoted his whole attention to the welfare of his diocese.

paragraph: Ilana Yahav () is a sand animation artist from Israel. She has performed in front of live audiences, in video clips and in advertisements.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Yahav studied sand art in Hollywood, New York and London. She later ran a studio which created realistic latex puppets, specializing in special effects for movie productions and advertisements. During this time she created puppets for a political satire program on Israeli television called "Chartzufim", based on the British show "Spitting Image". Yahav has performed at the Kremlin, as well as before the King of Spain, and the King of Belgium.

paragraph: Section::::Sand art performances.

paragraph: Each performance requires lengthy preparations beginning with numerous sketches and experiments on the sand table itself. The creation generally undergoes extensive changes until the final version is crystallized. During the performances, Yahav uses her hands to create images in sand on a transparent back-lit table, while a video camera positioned above her displays the emerging creation on a screen in real-time. Music and light form important elements of Yahav's creations. Lights emerge from under the transparent table and a soundtrack plays which has been selected by her to convey specific messages and sensations. Original music is sometimes composed and produced especially for this purpose.

paragraph: In 2018 Yahav became a contestant on Israel's Got Talent.

paragraph: Heinrich Egersdörfer

paragraph: Heinrich "Heiner" Egersdörfer (1853 Nuremberg, Germany - 29 April 1915 St. Pancras, London), was a German-born artist, illustrator and cartoonist who settled in South Africa.

paragraph: Coming from a family of artistic talent (his brothers Andreas Egersdörfer (1866-1914) and Konrad Egersdörfer (1868-) were both accomplished artists and both died in World War I), he was trained as a lithographer in Germany and worked for the "Leipziger Illustrierten Zeitung". He took part in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, and then worked in England, before emigrating to South Africa in 1879. In 1884, he and his partners founded "The South African Illustrated News" in Cape Town. His sketches and drawings, often in a light-hearted vein, are an invaluable record of life in the Cape Colony and were often used in local publications. "The South African Illustrated News" came to an end in 1885 and he left for Australia, to return ten years later. The economic situation had improved during his absence, and he travelled to Kimberley, the Witwatersrand and Rhodesia. He started painting wildlife studies, which found a ready market and his work appeared in The Cape Argus, "The Owl" and other periodicals. He depicted numerous incidents and scenes from the Anglo-Boer War, some of which were published in "The South African Review Book of 50 Famous Cartoons - A Unique Souvenir of the Anglo-Boer War 1899-1900". Between 1899 and 1901 he acted as local correspondent for "The Graphic", many of his illustrations appearing in this weekly until 1908. In 1902 and 1903, he exhibited with the South African Society of Artists (SASA). Egersdörfer's original illustrations can be found in many South African art galleries and in the Africana Museum. His only known photograph appeared in "The Cape Argus Weekly Edition" supplement on "Famous South African Artists" on 26 December 1906. With the death in Cape Town of his wife, Mary Jane Creaney in 1901(?1903), and that of his son Heinrich (1896-1910), and beset by financial problems, he returned to Europe and London where he died in 1915. He was survived by his first son, Friedrich, born in Melbourne, Australia on 13 June 1894, died 6 November 1970.

paragraph: Elizabeth Macquarie

paragraph: Elizabeth Macquarie (1778 – 1835) was the second wife of Lachlan Macquarie, who served as Governor of New South Wales from 1810 to 1821. She played a significant role in the establishment of the colony and is recognised in the naming of many Australian landmarks including Mrs Macquarie's Chair and Elizabeth Street, Hobart . Governor Macquarie named the town (now City) of Campbelltown, NSW after his wife's maiden name and a statue of her now stands in Mawson Park, Campbelltown.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born Elizabeth Henrietta Campbell, she was the youngest daughter of John Campbell of Airds, Scotland. A distant cousin of Macquarie's she first met him at the age of 26 when he was an army officer. They were married three years later in 1807. Shortly after, in 1809, he was appointed to the governorship of New South Wales and she followed him. She is said to have taken a particular interest in the welfare of women convicts and indigenous people as well as helping pioneer hay-making in the colony. Elizabeth's library of books on architecture were used by her husband and architect Francis Greenway in the planning of government buildings.

paragraph: During her time in Australia she traveled to Tasmania in 1811, across the Blue Mountains in 1815, and in 1818 to the Hunter River.

paragraph: At the end of her husband's term, she returned with him to Scotland in 1823, living at the Macquarie estate of Jarvisfield on the Isle of Mull. The Macquaries had two children, a girl Jane who died in infancy and a boy Lachlan. Following her husband's death in London in 1824, Elizabeth lived with a ₤400 pension from the British government. From 1825 to 1828 she lived in Surrey and Middlesex, spending summers at Jarvisfield. In 1828-29 she lived in London at 58 Upper Charlotte Street in a house that was bequeathed to her by her friend Henrietta Meredith. In 1830 she moved to Aberdeen, returning to Jarvisfield the next year when Lachlan purchased a commission in the Army. She died at Gruline House on 11 March 1835, and was posthumously granted of land in New South Wales.

By the 1973 season, Yamaha's monoshock suspension outclassed the competition, taking Andersson to his first world championship ahead of Adolf Weil and Heikki Mikkola Andersson was a member of the victorious Swedish 1974 Motocross des Nations team that included Bengt Aberg, Ake Jonsson and Arne Kring. In 1975, Andersson placed second once more behind Puch's Harry Everts. For the 1976 season, he signed to ride for the Montesa factory in the 250 class, and in 1977, he rode a Montesa in the 500cc class.

paragraph: Paul Chevandier de Valdrome

paragraph: Paul Antoine Marie Chevandier de Valdrome (17 March 1817, Saint-Quirin - 2 September 1877, Hautot-sur-Mer) was a French landscape painter in the Neoclassical style. He also created a few Orientalist works and was a prominent art collector.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: His father, , was a Master glassmaker who was also a politician; serving as a member of Parliament from 1821 to 1837, and the Chamber of Peers after that. His brother, , briefly served as Minister of the Interior under Napoleon III.

paragraph: He studied art with Prosper Marilhat and François-Édouard Picot, but was especially influenced by the landscape painter, Louis-Nicolas Cabat, whom he accompanied on a trip to Italy from 1836 to 1837, following his first exhibit at the Salon. They became lifelong friends. He would continue to travel throughout his life; notably visiting Constantine, Algeria, in 1847.

paragraph: His Paris studio was in Montmartre and became a meeting place for many notables, such as Félix Ziem, Prince Edmond de Polignac and Frédéric Chopin, who is said to have been inspired to write his Piano Sonata No. 2 during a visit there, when he saw a skeleton that Chevandier was using as a model.

paragraph: In 1868, against the wishes of his family, he married Jeanne Émilie Lelarge (1845-1898), an actress who performed at the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique and the Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin under the stage name Jeanne (or Émilie) Defodon. Three years earlier, they had produced an illegitimate son, Paul Auguste Armand (1865-1914).

paragraph: He was named a Chevalier in the Legion of Honor in 1869. During the Franco-Prussian War, he sent his family to safety, but remained behind and helped convert a hotel into a hospital for the wounded. After the war, they reunited and travelled to Switzerland for a vacation, then settled in Marseille.

paragraph: Soon, however, Jeanne began a liaison with a certain "Baron" Marx Von Pforstein. This resulted in a judicial separation and Paul moved to the North Coast with Armand. After Paul's death Armand, still only twelve, was placed in the custody of the Dominican Fathers in Arcueil; under the supervision of his uncle Eugène. In 1878, Jeanne made an unsuccessful attempt to kidnap Armand during a parental visit, creating a scandal that was covered widely in the press. Armand went on to become a diplomat. In 1914, he was murdered at the French Embassy in Tangier, by a cook who had been dismissed for alcoholism.
