<mask> (November 20, 1878 – May 6, 1930) was one of the most highly regarded stage actors of the 1920s. He played in critical debuts in New York City: the 1919 premier of John Drinkwater's Abraham Lincoln and the lead role of Brutus Jones in the 1920 premiere of Eugene O'Neill's The Emperor Jones, also touring with the play. In 1920, he was the first black American to receive The Drama League's annual award as one of the 10 people who had done the most that year for American theatre. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Richmond, Virginia, to <mask> (a factory worker) and Caroline White (a nurse); he attended St. Francis RC School in that city. He started work as an apprentice in the Richmond Planet print shop before finding his career in theater. He first performed on stage as a singer at the age of 12. Prior to becoming a stage actor full-time, he worked as a printer and a pressman at several black newspapers during the late 1880s and into the 1890s, while getting some part-time work in vaudeville.He married Florence Howard in 1897, and they had one son. Career

In 1896 at the age of 18, <mask> joined a minstrel show, leaving Richmond and beginning a life on the road that lasted for many years. When between performances on stage, like many performers, he worked odd jobs to earn money: as a printer, barber, boxing trainer, and railroad porter. In 1903, he joined Hamilton, Ontario's Canadian Jubilee Singers. In 1905, he started performing with traveling musical troupes of the Red Cross and the Candy Shop of America. He also played his first dramatic roles and honed his character acting in Chicago. He performed with Robert Mott's Pekin Theater in Chicago for four years until 1911.Soon after, he toured the United States with the Pan-American Octetts. <mask> worked with Rogers and Creamer's Old Man's Boy Company in New York. In 1915, <mask> joined the Anita Bush Players as they moved from the Lincoln Theater in Harlem to the Lafayette Theatre. As New York theater was expanding, this was a time when the theatrical careers of many famous black actors were launched. In 1916, <mask> made a memorable appearance in whiteface as Jacob McCloskey, a slave owner and villain of Dion Boucicault's The Octoroon. Though <mask> left Bush's company over a salary dispute, his reputation allowed him to get the role of Rev. William Curtis in the 1919 premier of John Drinkwater's Abraham Lincoln.<mask>'s Broadway debut led to his being cast in the premier of Eugene O’Neill's The Emperor Jones. He played the lead role of Brutus Jones to great critical acclaim, including a lauded review by writer Hubert Harrison in Negro World. <mask>'s achievement resulted in The Drama League's naming him as one of the 10 people in 1920 who had done the most for American theater. He was the first black American so honored. Following the Drama League's refusal to rescind the invitation, <mask> refused to decline it. When the League invited <mask> to their presentation dinner, some people found it controversial. At the dinner, he was given a standing ovation of unusual length when he accepted his award.Although <mask> continued to perform the role of Brutus Jones in the U.S. tour that followed the Broadway closing of the play, he had a falling out with O'Neill. <mask> wanted O'Neill to remove the word "nigger", which occurred frequently in the play. The playwright refused, asserting its use was consistent with his dramatic intentions. In 1921, <mask> was awarded the NAACP's Spingarn Medal. He was also honored at the White House by President Warren G. Harding. A year later, the Dumas Dramatic Club (now the Karamu Players) of Cleveland renamed itself the Gilpin Players in his honor. When they could not come to a reconciliation, O'Neill replaced <mask> with Paul Robeson as Brutus Jones in the London production.In early April 1922, <mask> became one of the first black performers to give a dramatic presentation on radio. He gave readings from "The Emperor Jones" over greater Boston station WGI, from their Medford Hillside studios. After the extended controversy and the disappointment of losing his signature role, <mask> started drinking heavily. He never again performed on Broadway. He died in 1930 in Eldridge Park, New Jersey, his career in shambles. He was buried in an unmarked grave in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, his funeral arranged by friends shortly after his death. In 1991, 61 years after his death, <mask> was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame.Relationship with Eugene O'Neill

O’Neill had major influence on African American actors, in particular <mask> and Paul Leroy Robeson. O’Neill and Robeson worked on three productions together: All God's Chillun Got Wings (1924), The Emperor Jones (1924), and The Hairy Ape (1931). Robeson, however, did not originate the lead role in O’Neill's The Emperor Jones. <mask> <mask>, a respected leading man from the all-black Lafayette Players of Harlem, was the first actor to play the role of Brutus Jones when it was first staged on November 1, 1920, by the Provincetown Players at the Playwright's Theater in New York City. This production was O'Neill's first real smash hit. The Players' small theater was too small to cope with audience demand for tickets, and the play was transferred to another theater. It ran for 204 performances and was hugely popular, and toured in the States with this cast for the next two years.<mask> continued to perform the role of Brutus Jones in the U.S. tour that followed the Broadway closing of the play, and in 1920 became the first black American to receive the Drama League of New York's annual award as one of the ten people who had done the most that year for American theater. The following year <mask> was awarded the NAACP's Spingarn Medal. He was also honored at the White House by president Warren G. Harding. A year later, the Dumas Dramatic Club (now the Karamu Players) of Cleveland renamed itself the Gilpin Players in his honor. Though the acclaimed actor continued to perform in subsequent productions of the play, he eventually had a falling out with O'Neill who argued with <mask>'s tendency to change his use of the word "nigger" to "Negro" and "colored" during performances. <mask> wanted O'Neill to remove the word "nigger" from the play altogether, which occurred frequently in the play, but the playwright refused, arguing its use was consistent with his dramatic intentions and that the use of language was, in fact, based on a friend, an African-American tavern-keeper on the New London waterfront that was O'Neill's favorite drinking spot in his home town. When they could not come to a reconciliation, O'Neill replaced the middle-aged <mask> with the much younger and then unknown Paul Robeson, who had only performed on the concert stage.Robeson starred in the title role in the 1924 New York revival and in the London production. He received excellent reviews and, coupled with his performance in the 1928 London production of the musical Show Boat, went on to worldwide fame as one of the great artists of the 20th century. The show was again revived in 1926 at the Mayfair Theatre in Manhattan, with <mask> again starring as Jones and also directing the show. The production, which ran for 61 performances, is remembered today for the acting debut of a young Moss Hart as Smithers and broke social barriers and defied conventions of the day as the first American play to feature an African-American central character portrayed in a serious manner. The play was adapted for a 1933 feature film starring Paul Robeson, directed by Dudley Murphy, an avant-garde filmmaker of O'Neill's Greenwich Village circle who pursued the reluctant playwright for a decade before getting the rights from him. <mask> continued to make a small living performing monologues from O'Neill's play at church gatherings, but after the extended controversy and the disappointment of losing his signature role, succumbed to depression and began drinking heavily. He never again performed on Broadway and died in 1930 in Eldridge Park, New Jersey, his career in shambles.He was buried in an unmarked grave in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, his funeral arranged by friends shortly after his death. In recognition of his groundbreaking work, <mask> was posthumously inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame in 1991. Further reading

<mask> (January 11, 1842 – October 23, 1916) was an American artist, businessman and philanthropist who worked in Buffalo, New York, and in Colorado. While he considered himself to be foremost a painter, he also worked in sculpture, sketches, poetry and other writings. His primary occupation was an engraver, making illustrations for publications of the day. He was a partner in a lithography business and an engraving/publishing business, and founded a shipping company for artists. As a young man, <mask> was badly injured in the Second Battle of Bull Run, and he was involved with veterans' groups for the rest of his life, primarily the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR). He was a member of numerous artists' groups, some of which he founded, and he arranged exhibitions and taught art classes. In his later life, <mask> became a supporter of the emerging Baháʼí Faith which he helped to establish in Buffalo.<mask>'s artworks are known for capturing the time in which he lived. His work depicts the US Civil War and its lasting effects, wilderness landscapes, portraiture, and life scenes. He won a few prizes for his art, pieces of which are in the collections of the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, the Albright–Knox Art Gallery, and the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy. Early life and education

<mask> <mask> was born January 11, 1842, in the hamlet of Bowmansville, New York. He was the first son of Aaron P<mask> and Abigail, both from Otsego County. They were a farming family, which grew with children Daniel W., Elvira, and Aaron T. (born ). All the children worked on the farm and were raised with a Baptist sensibility of serious-mindedness.As a child, <mask> was known to mold with clay. Early biographer Benedict R. Maryniak wrote:

Abigail had died by late 1855. In 1857, at age 15, <mask> moved to Buffalo to become an artist. Maryniak believed <mask>'s father endorsed this as a step towards developing business sense. <mask> became an apprentice bank-note engraver to Jack Jamison, but suffered eye strain. He then took up marble work with sculptor William Lautz and painting with Lars Gustav Sellstedt and, with encouragement from William H. Beard, began doing portraits. At age 17, <mask> painted a portrait of his father.He camped along the Niagara River 1859–1860 and sold paintings. That year in the fall he was noted as a member of the Nameless Club and had given a talk. By December 1860, <mask> had rented rooms for a studio in Buffalo, in the Weed Block building. War experience
After the April 1861 Battle of Fort Sumter, <mask> enlisted for the Union in the Civil War, aged 19. On May 8, he mustered out with the 21st New York Volunteer Infantry, which joined the Army of the Potomac for the duration of the war. By May 21, they had established "Camp Buffalo" and then "Fort Buffalo" at Washington, DC. <mask> carried out the record keeping of the regiment in the early days of their deployment.He also painted some portraits of soldiers and camps. They took part in the First Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861, during which <mask> was a private of Company D.

He next fought on August 30, 1862, in the Second Battle of Bull Run. He later recorded personal details of the battle in his Chronicles. <mask>'s company began to engage in hand-to-hand combat at the front line when he was struck down, and evacuated by ambulance as a retreat was called. One report stated that his leg had been shattered, and <mask> later called it a knee injury, but it was a bullet lodged through the front of his pelvis which was removed from the back side. "They cut where I told them and when they pulled it out the suction made a noise... a sort of whistle that I will never forget." Some reports were that he nearly died and <mask> gained the title "the name who would not die".He was registered as totally disabled. <mask> spent four months recovering and made some drawings which he sold on return to Buffalo. While convalescing, he began the work that led to the Chronicles of the 21st Regiment. He also visited the old Smithsonian Institution during this time and saw George Catlin's Indian and war paintings. <mask> was discharged December 22, 1862, and filed paperwork for his military pension, marked as an invalid. Artistic career

Establishment
<mask> returned to Buffalo and wrote his first notable work, Chronicles of the 21st Regiment of New York. The first edition was published in six parts, from August 1863
to July 1866.Some of the writing was delayed due to complications from his injury
and a further serious illness. During this time, <mask> continued to paint and was awarded a bronze medal from the New York State Agricultural Society for a painting of a bull. The funeral train of Abraham Lincoln came to Buffalo on April 27, 1865. <mask> was an honor guard for the coffin in St. James Hall, despite looking out of place due to his disability and his hair being in the long fashion of an artist rather than a soldier. For two hours while a reception area was being finished, <mask> was allowed to sketch Lincoln. From these he made a bust
of plaster about ten inches tall. Some gray-tinted copies were made, which were mass reproduced in the fall of 1865.In 1865, <mask> was described by the president of the Buffalo Nameless Club (of which he had been a member for more than five years) as "equally at home in sculpture, poesy, and painting. His bust of Abraham Lincoln, his poem of 'Booths', and twin pictures 'A dream of life' each are master pieces of conception and composition." In 1867, <mask> sketched scenes of the Angola Horror railroad disaster for Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. In 1869, <mask> became a partner in a lithography business. From 1869 to 1872, <mask> was on the staff of the Buffalo Morning Express, starting as a copy reader and rising to assistant editor under Samuel Clemens. For a time <mask> was responsible for converting drawings into wood-stock for printing, and he reworked Clemen's illustrations for a Buffalo Express series of articles spoofing coverage of a tightrope walker crossing Niagara Falls. During this time, <mask> and Clemens were both members of the "Nameless Club" of war veterans.By December 1869, <mask> was an elected senior vice-commander of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) veterans' association of Post Chaplin in Buffalo. <mask> had married Henrietta Fell, a Canadian, on August 25, 1865. Their first child, <mask>, was born , followed by Margaret Elvira about a year later. Another daughter Bertha was born in 1869 but died after a few months. The family lived in the home of Henrietta's father, a civil engineer. Henrietta suffered illness
and in summer 1872,
due to concerns for her health, the family moved
to Colorado, where <mask>'s brother Aaron
had an engraving company. Frontier artist
<mask> bought 5 acres of land in town.He took a prize at the Art Department of Colorado's Agricultural Fair, and painted a sheep for a stockmen's show. A poem of his was published in Denver's Rocky Mountain News. In 1873, <mask> was joined by Buffalo artist Hamilton Hamilton, and together they sold art during the year. They went on the Upper Arkansas expedition invited by the Chain & Hardy Bookshop owners. <mask> took other horse trips into the mountains to paint water colors, and by 1873 offered art classes in Denver. <mask> continued to sell paintings and contributed art and articles to publications, while periodically travelling into the mountains to sketch. As his wife's health improved, they bought a wagon and began to travel the lands.They made a trip to the Colorado Basin, called "Middle Park", and found a place to make a homestead. Around 1874 they were living in what was then called Hot Sulphur Springs, where Henrietta held a school. This later became the subject of his painting "First School in Middle Park". However, while the scenery was rich and inspiring, there was no local market for his art and it was a difficult life. At one point, <mask> suffered from rheumatic fever and had to be rescued by hunters. In 1876, the family moved into a brick house in Denver and <mask> took a studio at what later grew to become the Tabor Grand Opera House. <mask> organized short-lived art schools and associations.He was also appointed a probate judge, seemingly on his reputation for mediating differences between whites and Ute people, and also became secretary of the local Republican party. Engraving was his success in these times. <mask> sold wood engravings and writing to Scribner's Monthly and Harper's Magazine. In particular, a 12-page article in Scribner's with mostly his own sketches with the story "Hunting the Mule-Deer in Colorado" was published in September 1978. He sold another illustrated article for the October 1879 Scribner's titled "The Camp of the Carbonates". <mask> was commissioned by George Crofutt to do illustrations and wood-engravings for several guidebooks, among which the 1881 "Colorado Springs, Pike's Peak Sunset", was called his greatest wood-engraving. The engraving/publishing company Mills was a partner in expanded in 1881,
and <mask> was also co-owner of a publishing shop in Denver.In January 1882, <mask>'s painting "Frontier School" was reported sold to Wolfe Londoner, later mayor of Denver, for $1000 (more than $25,000 in 2020 dollars). <mask> did multiple "pioneer-life dugout" paintings including "News from Home" (1882) which is now in the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum. As president of the Academy of Fine Arts of Colorado, <mask> worked with state senator and mining tycoon Horace Tabor to set up the Mining and Industrial Exposition in the summers of 1882 and 1883. <mask> taught through the Academy as well, holding meetings in the Tabor Opera House building. Among his students was political caricaturist Albert Wilbur

 Steele. Despite the short-lived nature of some groups he founded – such as the Colorado Academy of Design, which suffered from conflicts – <mask> had great influence in developing artists and an art market in Colorado. Henrietta's health returned and she bore a third child – <mask> – on June 19, 1882.In July 1883, Henrietta was a delegate from the Denver chapter of the Ladies Auxiliary to the national meeting. The Woman's Relief Corps was established by the GAR at Farragut Post, chartered with <mask> present. Henrietta was a charter member and founded the Colorado state chapter in the <mask> home in Denver, becoming its first president. (It was named the Farragut Corps [after Farragut Post].) In October, <mask> wrote an article reporting on the organization and local militia groups. In mid-December <mask> aided the organization of the GAR corp in Delta, Colorado, and in late December <mask> was elected commander of the Farragut GAR corps. Exhibition organizer

Exhibitions at the American Art Association in New York City () spread <mask>'s reputation and he moved to Manhattan where he was invited to the founding of the New York Art Guild, becoming its general manager under president Thomas Moran.In 1889, the American Fine Arts Society was incorporated in New York with <mask> among the trustees. He held a similar position when the New York Art Guid incorporated in 1891. <mask> commented at this time that he was too busy for more than brief trips into the countryside for inspiration. In 1892, <mask> was coordinating the New York component of the country's contribution to the World of Art exhibition at the Smithsonian in Washington, where Henrietta hosted a White House reception for the artists. <mask> had also opened a shipping company for artists
(which was taken over by his son <mask> by 1898). In June, <mask> contributed the painting "On the Croquet Ground of Central Park" toward fundraising for Grant's Tomb. He exhibited at the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago.<mask> organized many art exhibitions during this time, including the 1898 "Art Kalendarium" exhibition series for the New York Art Guild. In 1895, <mask> organized a retreat for art students at a summer home in Rothesay, New Brunswick, then organized an art school and student's exhibition series. In August 1897, a bicyclist ran into <mask> and his arm was broken. By April 1901, <mask> had moved to Westford, New York, where Henrietta had formed a branch of the Sunshine Society club (a service club which often worked with the blind). In 1902, <mask> won a $100 prize from the New York Herald for best poem on the anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. His poem, "The Third Day", did not have universal critical acclaim, but it was widely circulated and brought <mask> considerable publicity. It ends: They laid the wounded on the floor,
The little house would hold no more:
The little maid was not afraid,
But the tender eyes ran o'er;
The spent shot swept the town,
With the dying she lay down;
The little maid smiled – she was not afraid
To die as the sun went down

Buffalo artistic community

In 1904, <mask> and his wife moved back to Buffalo.Now in his sixties, <mask> hosted artists, and held artists' meetings and exhibitions in his house, often on a weekly basis. A profile of <mask> in the 1905 Artists Year Book, published in Chicago, noted that he had exhibited at the National Academy of Design in New York and was a member of professional arts clubs including New York's Salmagundi Club and some Philadelphia clubs. <mask> continued to paint
largely creating portraits at this time. He also taught a class on clay modeling
and exhibited the work of his art students. <mask> became a founding director of the Artists and Illustrators Club of Buffalo,
and joined the Buffalo Historical Society. <mask> was also active with the Buffalo Society of Artists, with which he exhibited some paintings. <mask> exhibited several times at the Albright Gallery.Among the groups the <mask> hosted was the Progressive Thought League. Its 1908 business meeting was held at their home, and <mask> was listed as the vice-president. In January 1910, <mask> presented a painting of the new commander of the Chapin Post at a GAR reception. In 1911, <mask> visited Bull Run for the 50th anniversary of the battles there, and made some commemorative portraits. <mask> wrote a memorial poem for Gettysburg, "To the devoted departed". He was honored at a GAR gathering for Gettysburg,
and later at a reunion of veterans of the 21st Regiment. He remained an elected officer of the GAR corps until his death.<mask> joined the Guild of Allied Arts in January 1916. In March, <mask> wrote a booklet on the early artists of Colorado. Promotion of Buffalo Baháʼí community

<mask> stated that had been interested in the Baháʼí Faith since 1898, when he was living in New York City. <mask> may have been introduced to the religion through his daughter Margaret's husband, Charles Sprague, who had been an active Baháʼí in New York in 1900. Margaret moved to Buffalo in March 1906,
and a series of talks by her the following month were the first mentions of the Baháʼí Faith in local newspapers. This was about the time that the first meetings of the Baháʼís were later credited as beginning. The <mask> sought to have more Baháʼís to work with.Religious scholar Robert Stockman summarized a November 1906 letter to Henrietta from the Baháʼí House of Spirituality of Chicago (a precursor of the Baháʼí administrative institution the Local Spiritual Assembly) as: "We don't know of any believers there." Margaret spoke at the Progressive Thought League
(organized that year by Elizabeth Marney Conner and Grace Carew Sheldon),
and presented a paper which was published in the local newspaper. By mid-July, Margaret was vice-president of the League. Through August 1906, the Mills hosted Baháʼí Alma Knobloch,
who promoted that faith through publications in local newspapers and meetings
held at the <mask> home. Margaret wrote to ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, the head of the religion, expressing her wish for martyrdom. Before she received a reply, Margaret suffered a night of hysteria and broke her arm while running from her parent's house; she was placed in a state hospital. In April and May 1907, <mask> gave the talks: "Bahais  at home and abroad"
and a talk on the religion's "mission as a unifier of all faiths".The following year he gave an extended talk at the League, "Basis of the Bahai Faith" which was published in the Buffalo Times. <mask> counted some 35 people as the Buffalo Baháʼí community, and called the faith the "cord which binds all faiths in God as One". Baháʼí literature could be obtained free from <mask>'s home. <mask> represented the Buffalo Baháʼís at the national convention
in March 1909,
where he voted for the precursor of the national organization of Baháʼís. Regular Baháʼí meetings continued at the <mask> home. He was described as the president of the local Baháʼí community
and his meetings were listed in first editions of Star of the West (the national Baháʼí magazine). In June 1912, <mask> received ʻAbdu'l-Bahá in Buffalo.The meetings at the home continued after <mask>'s death, and some visitors from abroad referred to it as the "Bahai center". Death and remembrance
<mask> died on October 23, 1916. His absence was noted in a poem published in November. The Art Institute of Chicago exhibition showed his work in December. A group of Civil War veterans marched the following summer in remembrance of <mask> and others who had been lost. Biographer Nelson A. Reiger called <mask> a "highly intelligent, deeply caring, sensitive man, greatly motivated, widely experience[d]". An exhibition on <mask> with newspaper clippings and art was held at the Denver Public Library in the early 1930s.There was renewed interest in <mask>  with the rediscovery of When Mark Twain lived in Buffalo, and his "Campsite in the Rockies" painting was included in the Western America: Landscapes and Indians collection for 1994–1998. Biographies began to appear. "From Bowmansville and back: the odyssey of <mask> <mask>" (1999) and "The Most Humane of Humans: Mark Twain and <mask> <mask>" (2002) were published in the Buffalo area. The review says that <mask>'s original text When Mark Twain lived in Buffalo, remains unknown except for the excerpts printed in newspapers. These excerpts were reprinted by the Western New York Heritage Institute's magazine. A 2004 biographical review of Mark Twain noted <mask>. In 2009, a biography of <mask>'s early years as a Colorado painter was published.The Huntington Library in San Antonio, California, exhibited a painting of <mask> in 2011.

<mask> (7 April 1873 – 6 December 1946) was a British politician, who served as an Member of Parliament (MP) from 1915 to 1922. He entered Parliament by winning one of the two seats for Merthyr Tydfil at a by-election on 25 November 1915 caused by the death of Labour Party founder, Keir Hardie. After the two-member Merthyr Tydfil seat was divided into two single member seats, <mask> focused on the Aberdare division, which he won at the 1918 general election, but lost at the 1922 general election. Political career

Miner's agent and district councillor, Aberdare

<mask> began his political career as a miners' agent at Aberdare where he was a member of the Independent Labour Party. In 1904, he was elected to the Aberdare Urban District Council as a member for the Aberaman Ward. Then a militant, he was critical of the more moderate approach adopted by the local Labour MP, Keir Hardie. The general election of December 1910 – East Glamorganshire

At the December 1910 general election, <mask> unsuccessfully fought the East Glamorganshire seat as a Labour candidate.Since its creation in 1886, East Glamorganshire had been represented by the Liberal Alfred Thomas, a prominent Baptist and former Mayor of Cardiff, who stood as candidate of 'The Liberal and Labour Association' in the constituency. For the 1910 general election, the East Glamorganshire Liberal and Labour Association selected Clement Edwards. Edwards had solid Lib-Lab credentials, a barrister who had represented trade unions in major cases, he was also active in organising trade unions and industrial action. Edwards was not a socialist and he opposed a separate Labour Party. In February 1910, <mask> comfortably won a poll organised by the South Wales Miners' Federation to select a candidate for East Glamorganshire should Alfred Thomas retire (C. B. <mask> 6,297; Alfred Onions 3,214; Thomas Andrews 3,156; T. I. Mardy Jones 2,257). In May 1910, <mask> was selected as the Labour candidate for the seat by a trade union delegates meeting and, by July 1910, he was described as the "accepted Labour candidate for East Glamorgan". However, <mask> was not universally popular among the leadership of the South Wales Miners Federation and the Miners' Federation of Great Britain, in part because of his militant position on industrial disputes.In November 1910, the Executive Committee of the M.F.G.B. at first refused to place <mask>'s name on the Federation Parliamentary List for East Glamorgan, a decision which was reversed the following day. At the general election in December 1910, Clement Edwards comfortably won the seat, the Conservative candidate took second place, while <mask> finished third: Edwards (Lib-Lab) 9,088; Gaskell (Con) 5,603; <mask> (Lab) 4,675. In his speech at the declaration, <mask> said that "Although defeated, he was by no means downhearted, as he realised that he was preaching a new gospel for which the electors were evidently not prepared, but the day would come when his views would be much more acceptable. The Merthyr by-election of November 1915

When the United Kingdom entered the First World War, <mask> became a strong supporter of the national war effort, and publicly opposed Keir Hardie's stance opposed to the war. Hardie's death, on 2 September 1915, a year after the outbreak of the war, caused a vacancy in one of the two Merthyr Tydfil parliamentary seats. The by-election to fill the vacancy was called for 25 November 1915.The official Labour candidate chosen to succeed Keir Hardie was James Winstone. Winstone was a leader of the miners' union, a miner's agent since 1906, he served as Vice-President of the South Wales Miners Federation from 1912, and had recently been elected President of the South Wales Federation. He had also been a County Councillor in neighbouring Monmouthshire since 1906, and was a former chairman of the Urban District Councils of both Risca and Abersychan. In the four by-elections held in Wales since the outbreak of war, the candidate of the former member's party had been returned unopposed, in accordance with an electoral truce agreed between the parties. It was assumed therefore that the Labour Party candidate to succeed Keir Hardie would also be returned unopposed. Arthur Henderson, the Secretary of the Labour Party, wrote to the Western Mail on 17 November stating that Winstone's candidature was supported and approved by the Miners' Federation of Great Britain, the South Wales Miners' Federation, the National Executive of the Labour Party and the Merthyr constituency conference "representative practically of every organisation in the constituency", and "Accordingly, other parties have intimated their intention of observing the obligations of the party truce." <mask> announced that he would stand against Winstone on a patriotic, win-the-war platform.<mask>'s campaign focused its attack on the Independent Labour Party. <mask> presented himself as a 'National' candidate "standing on a National platform, and respecting, as I am, the political truce, I am considering not only the opinion of Labour men but of all sections of the community. And hence I do not hesitate to say that my candidature is national in the truest sense of the term. Surely, it is obvious that the success of Mr. Winstone, which is unthinkable, would be a message of discouragement to our soldiers in the field". In fact, unlike Hardie, Winstone was not a pacifist: he was a supporter of the war effort. One of his sons was serving in France and another had only recently volunteered. Winstone himself addressed recruiting meetings.However, Winstone did not support conscription. Officially the national Liberal and Conservative parties were not involved in the by-election. But their members actively supported the <mask> campaign on the ground. On 23 November, the Western Mail carried a letter to <mask>'s election agent from T. Artemus Jones, who had been adopted as the prospective Liberal candidate before the outbreak of war, stating that there "was no foundation [for] the rumour ... that the 'official' candidate [i.e. Winstone] must receive the support of all the great parties ... Such a contest as is being waged in Merthyr is outside the terms of the party truce because it is essentially a domestic difference among the members of one party and neither of the other parties in the State has any sort of right to interfere either with the one section or the other." Jones added that members of the Liberal and Conservative parties were free to support <mask>: "There is only one issue, one duty before the people.So long as the war lasts and the party truce continues, there are neither Tories nor Radicals nor Socialists in the party sense. That issue is the war and that duty is the vigorous prosecution of the war. ...  neither the Liberals nor the Conservatives are concerned in their political organisations with the dispute between Mr. <mask> and the Independent Labour Party. In their capacity as citizens, however, they have the right to form their own judgement at this supreme hour in the fortunes of the country with regard to the support they must give the government." <mask> was also endorsed by the Socialist National Defence Committee. <mask>'s election address described him as a "National" candidate. <mask> won the vacant seat with a majority of over 4,000 votes in a low poll.(<mask>: 10,286 votes; Winstone: 6,080 votes). A few weeks after <mask>'s election, on 6 January 1916, the government introduced its first conscription bill. <mask>'s by-election victory in Keir Hardie's old seat has been seen as facilitating the introduction of conscription. <mask> supported the Lloyd George Coalition Government throughout the war. The 'Coupon' general election of December 1918

Under the Representation of the People Act 1918 the existing parliamentary borough of Merthyr Tydfil (with its two parliamentary seats) was divided into two single-member constituencies. One of these was Merthyr Tydfil, Aberdare Division, which consisted of the two urban districts of Aberdare and Mountain Ash. <mask> fought the "Coupon" general election of December 1918 for the Aberdare Division, as a National Democratic and Labour Party candidate, with the support of the Coalition National Government "coupon".He comfortably defeated the Labour candidate, Thomas Evan Nicholas (Niclas y Glais). (<mask>: 22,824 votes; Nicholas: 6,229 votes)

<mask> and Nicholas had taken opposite positions during the War. Nicholas, like Hardie, was a pacifist, and had opposed both the War and conscription. They were also opposed in their policies for the peace, <mask> supporting the policy of imposing heavy reparations obligations on the defeated nations: his manifesto demanded that "the filthy, murderous Huns" be made to pay for the war. He called for the expulsion of "all aliens". In the Merthyr Division, at the 1918 general election, Sir Edgar Rees Jones, standing as a Coalition Liberal, defeated James Winstone, standing again as a Labour candidate, by 1,445 votes. Sir Edgar Rees Jones had first been elected to Parliament at the January 1910 general election as one of the two MPs for Merthyr Tydfil.The general election of November 1922

<mask> again fought the Aberdare division at the general election of November 1922, this time as a Lloyd George National Liberal candidate. He was defeated by the Labour candidate, George Hall (Hall: 20,704 votes; <mask>: 15,487 votes). <mask>'s failure at the 1922 general election was shared by the nine other MPs seeking to hold seats they had won in the "coupon" election of 1918 under the National Democratic and Labour Party banner. Among the nine was Clement Edwards, who had defeated <mask> in East Glamorganshire in 1910. Edwards won East Ham South as the NDLP candidate in 1918; he defended that seat as a National Liberal supporter of Lloyd George in 1922, but was defeated by the Labour candidate. In 1928, <mask> joined the Liberal Party. References

<mask>, 1st Baron Aberdare,  (16 April 1815 – 25 February 1895), was a British Liberal Party politician, who served in government most notably as Home Secretary (1868–1873) and as Lord President of the Council. Background and education
<mask> was born at Duffryn, Aberdare, Glamorganshire, the son of John Bruce, a Glamorganshire landowner, and his first wife Sarah, daughter of Reverend Hugh Williams Austin. John Bruce's original family name was Knight, but on coming of age in 1805 he assumed the name of Bruce: his mother, through whom he inherited the Duffryn estate, was the daughter of William Bruce, high sheriff of Glamorganshire. <mask> was educated from the age of twelve at the Bishop Gore School, Swansea (Swansea Grammar School). In 1837 he was called to the bar from Lincoln's Inn. Shortly after he had begun to practice, the discovery of coal beneath the Duffryn and other Aberdare Valley estates brought his family great wealth. From 1847 to 1854 Bruce was stipendiary magistrate for Merthyr Tydfil and Aberdare, resigning the position in the latter year, after entering parliament as Liberal member for Merthyr Tydfil.Industrialist and politician, 1852–1868

Bruce was returned unopposed as MP for Merthyr Tydfil in December 1852, following the death of Sir John Guest. He did so with the enthusiastic support of the late member's political allies, notably the iron masters of Dowlais, and he was thereafter regarded by his political opponents, most notably in the Aberdare Valley, as their nominee. Even so, Bruce's parliamentary record demonstrated support for liberal policies, with the exception of the ballot. The electorate in the constituency at this time remained relatively small, excluding the vast majority of the working classes. Significantly, however, Bruce's relationship with the miners of the Aberdare Valley, in particular, deteriorated as a result of the Aberdare Strike of 1857–58. In a speech to a large audience of miners at the Aberdare Market Hall, Bruce sought to strike a conciliatory tone in persuading the miners to return to work. In a second speech, however, he delivered a broadside against the trade union movement generally, referring to the violence engendered elsewhere as a result of strikes and to alleged examples of intimidation and violence in the immediate locality.The strike damaged his reputation and may well have contributed to his eventual election defeat ten years later. In 1855, Bruce was appointed a trustee of the Dowlais Iron Company and played a role in the further development of the iron industry. In November 1862, after nearly ten years in Parliament, he became Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, and held that office until April 1864. He became a Privy Councillor and a Charity Commissioner for England and Wales in 1864, when he was moved to be Vice-President of the Council of Education. 1868 general election
At the 1868 general election, Merthyr Tydfil became a two-member constituency with a much-increased electorate as a result of the Second Reform Act of 1867. Since the formation of the constituency, Merthyr Tydfil had dominated representation as the vast majority of the electorate lived in the town and its vicinity, whereas there was a much lower number of electors in the neighbouring Aberdare Valley. During the 1850s and 1860s, however, the population of Aberdare grew rapidly, and the franchise changes in 1867 gave the vote to large numbers of miners in that valley.Amongst these new electors, Bruce remained unpopular as a result of his actions during the 1857–58 dispute. Initially, it appeared that the Aberdare iron master, Richard Fothergill, would be elected to the second seat alongside Bruce. However, the appearance of a third Liberal candidate, <mask>, a nonconformist radical popular in both Merthyr and Aberdare, left Bruce on the defensive and he was ultimately defeated, finishing in third place behind both Richard and Fothergill. Later political career

After losing his seat, Bruce was elected for Renfrewshire on 25 January 1869, he was made Home Secretary by William Ewart Gladstone. His tenure of this office was conspicuous for a reform of the licensing laws, and he was responsible for the Licensing Act 1872, which made the magistrates the licensing authority, increased the penalties for misconduct in public-houses and shortened the number of hours for the sale of drink. In 1873 Bruce relinquished the home secretaryship, at Gladstone's request, to become Lord President of the Council, and was elevated to the peerage as Baron Aberdare, of Duffryn in the County of Glamorgan, on 23 August that year. Being a Gladstonian Liberal, Aberdare had hoped for a much more radical proposal to keep existing licensee holders for a further ten years, and to prevent any new applicants.Its unpopularity pricked his nonconformist's conscience, when like Gladstone himself he had a strong leaning towards Temperance. He had already pursued 'moral improvement' on miners in the regulations attempting to further ban boys from the pits. The Trades Union Act 1871 was another more liberal regime giving further rights to unions, and protection from malicious prosecutions. The defeat of the Liberal government in the following year terminated Lord Aberdare's official political life, and he subsequently devoted himself to social, educational and economic questions. Education became one of Lord Aberdare's main interests in later life. His interest had been shown by the speech on Welsh education which he had made on 5 May 1862. In 1880, he was appointed to chair the Departmental Committee on Intermediate and Higher Education in Wales and Monmouthshire, whose report ultimately led to the Welsh Intermediate Education Act of 1889.The report also stimulated the campaign for the provision of university education in Wales. In 1883, Lord Aberdare was elected the first president of the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire. In his inaugural address he declared that the framework of Welsh education would not be complete until there was a University of Wales. The University was eventually founded in 1893 and Aberdare became its first chancellor. In 1876 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society; from 1878 to 1891 he was president of the Royal Historical Society. and in 1881 he became president of both the Royal Geographical Society and the Girls' Day School Trust. In 1888 he headed the commission that established the Official Table of Drops, listing how far a person of a particular weight should be dropped when hanged for a capital offence (the only method of 'judicial execution' in the United Kingdom at that time), to ensure an instant and painless death, by cleanly breaking the neck between the 2nd and 3rd vertebrae, an 'exacting science', eventually brought to perfection by Chief Executioner Albert Pierrepoint.Prisoners health, clothing and discipline was a particular concern even at the end of his career. In the Lords he spoke at some length to the Home Affairs Committee chaired by Arthur Balfour about the prison rules system. Aberdare had always expressed concern about intemperate working-classes; in 1878 urging greater vigilance against the vice of excessive drinking, he took evidence on miners and railway colliers drinking habits. The committee tried to establish special legislation based on a link between Sunday Opening and absenteeism established in 1868. Aberdare had been interested in the plight of working class drinkers since Gladstone had appointed him Home Secretary. The defeat of the Licensing Bill by the Tory 'beerage' and publicans was drafted to limit hours and protect the public, but it persuaded a convinced Anglican forever more of the iniquities. In 1882 he began a connection with West Africa which lasted the rest of his life, by accepting the chairmanship of the National African Company, formed by Sir George Goldie, which in 1886 received a charter under the title of the Royal Niger Company and in 1899 was taken over by the British government, its territories being constituted the protectorate of Nigeria.West African affairs, however, by no means exhausted Lord Aberdare's energies, and it was principally through his efforts that a charter was in 1894 obtained for the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire,a constituent institution of the University of Wales. This is now Cardiff University. Lord Aberdare, who in 1885 was made a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, presided over several Royal Commissions at different times. Family

<mask> (May 16, 1880 in Hamilton, Ontario - 1969 in Victoria) was one of British Columbia's most famous surveyors. He came to British Columbia during the era of the Klondike Gold Rush and became a surveyor's assistant. Then, from 1908, he was a professional surveyor and surveyed many regions of British Columbia. He kept a journal of his work and collected over 5000 unique pictures of the era, which were donated to BC Archives for the benefit of future researchers. The photographs span a period of more than 40 years and cover many areas of the province. Their subjects include stagecoaches, sternwheelers, old forts and remote villages, mountains and rivers, pioneer settlers, miners and First Nations people. <mask>'s pictures are a priceless contribution to the history of British Columbia.Early years
<mask> graduated from high school in Toronto and then attended a two-year program in mining engineering at the University of Toronto from 1897-1899. In the summer of 1898, he worked for a surveying firm in New Denver, British Columbia. After he graduated, he intended to travel to the Yukon to participate in the Klondike Gold Rush, but instead obtained work with the Victoria surveyors, Gore and McGregor, receiving his Provincial Land Surveying licence and Dominion Land Surveying licence in 1903 and 1904 respectively. In 1908, <mask> left the firm and struck out on his own and soon gained a reputation for being among the best in the business. 1908-1914

The construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway caused a great deal of interest in Central and Northern British Columbia, and settlers were arriving looking for agricultural land, which needed to be surveyed before it could be sold or pre-empted. The equipment the surveyors used would be considered simple by today's standards, but it was remarkably accurate: a transit and a 66-foot length of chain (80 lengths to a mile). The pioneer surveyors did more than survey land, they also recorded the topography, soil conditions and potential uses of the land, information that was a necessity for the government and land-seekers alike.In 1908, <mask> received the government contract to survey the Nechako Valley. <mask> and his crew worked in the summers and he kept his winter home in Victoria. When spring came, they would travel from Vancouver on the Canadian Pacific Railway to Ashcroft and take a stagecoach to Soda Creek where the sternwheeler Charlotte would take them to Quesnel. From Quesnel it was a ten-day hike along the Yukon Telegraph Trail to the Nechako Valley. Surveying British Columbia into the familiar 640 acre sections that are created by north to south range lines and east to west township lines was much more difficult than it was in many other areas of Western Canada. Survey lines had to be cut through dense wilderness, across swamps, lakes, rivers and over mountainous areas. Aside from surveying, <mask> also had to worry about keeping food supplies on hand for his crew, a problem which was quite often nearly insurmountable as there were few farms in the region and goods often took three weeks or longer to arrive from Hudson's Bay Company stores on pack trains or by canoe.During that first summer, <mask> and his crew surveyed the area around Fort Fraser, Fraser Lake and  Stoney Creek. In 1909, <mask> and his crew began the season by surveying lots in the Lillooet and Pemberton areas and several locations around Anderson and Seton Lakes. By July, they were finished and returned to Quesnel, transferring from the Charlotte to the new sternwheeler, Nechacco which was able to take the crew up the Fraser to Fort George and onto the Nechako River all the way to Fraser Lake. In August, <mask> traveled to Fort St. James and inspected the surrounding area, including Stuart Lake and Takla Lake. From there, <mask> traveled to Moricetown, Hazelton and Prince Rupert, taking many pictures of the pioneer communities and First Nations villages along the way before returning to his home in Victoria that November. In 1910, <mask> spent January and February working close to his home in Victoria, working on Saltspring Island. In March, he went to the Gordon River from Port Renfrew and in mid March continued on to more surveying at Atla Lake in the Whistler region.By early April <mask> had moved on to the Lillooet River. By July, he and his crew had returned to the Nechako Valley and surveyed the areas around Fraser Lake and the Nechako River and the Endako Valley. That year, <mask> left Endako in December, taking a 400-mile sleigh ride to Ashcroft to meet the CPR. He arrived home on New Year's Eve. In 1911, he completed some small government surveys around Victoria, as well as some surveying work for private interests. By March, he was back in the Lillooet region and returned to the Nechako Valley in mid May. Travel had already become more convenient in the years since they had begun work in the region and <mask> and his party took a BC Express Company stagecoach from Ashcroft to Soda Creek, where they boarded the BC Express Company's sternwheeler, BX.By the end of May, they arrived back in the Nechako region aboard the Fort Fraser and recommenced their surveying work in the area around Fort St. James. In 1912, <mask> won a large contract to survey the area around Nation Lake and throughout the surrounding Omineca Country. He and his crew would travel a total of 1,700 miles that season, most of it by raft, but some of them by a relative newcomer to the route into Northern British Columbia, the automobile. In 1913, the Surveyor General, impressed with <mask>'s progress in the Nechako and Omineca regions, sent him back to the area, with the intention of extending his surveys further north and east, further into the Omineca. <mask> resurveyed Mount Pope and Takla Lake and then surveyed the area around Fort Babine, Driftwood River and the Omineca River and the Finlay River. <mask> visited the Big Kettle Fumarole at the junction of Humar Creek and the Omineca River during his surveys and provided a description in his government report. <mask>'s party travelled on the North-West Mounted Police Trail that ran between Fort Grahame and Bear Lake.On November 1, they travelled to Burns Lake from Fort St. James, and <mask> observed and photographed the ongoing construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, before travelling on to Prince Rupert and returning to Victoria. In 1914, <mask> and his crew returned to the Omineca region and recommenced the survey work around the Finlay River. <mask> decided to take a new route home that fall and traveled up the Peace River to Hudson's Hope and Fort St. John, eventually arriving at Lesser Slave Lake where they took the steamer Northland Sun to Sawridge, Alberta and then they drove to the train which took them to Edmonton and then continued home by rail. The Great War
Late in 1914, <mask> enlisted to fight in World War I and in 1919, joined an anti-Bolshevik force in Siberia where he was wounded in the shoulder. Bedaux expedition

<mask> was sent by the Canadian government to map the route of the ill-conceived Bedaux expedition of 1934. The expedition was intended to run 2,400 kilometers from Edmonton, Alberta to Telegraph Creek, British Columbia and was led by American Charles Bedaux, who was acquainted with car manufacturer, Andre Citroen, who designed the Kégresse track equipped half-track trucks Bedaux used on his journey. Aside from Bedaux and <mask> were fellow mapmaker, Ernest Lemarque, three women: Bedaux's wife, an Italian countess, and a maid, several cameramen, a group of cowboys from Alberta, and the man who would direct the film High Noon, filmmaker, Floyd Crosby.Of the five Citroens, two slid off of cliffs, one was sent downriver and the last two were abandoned. The expedition continued on horseback, but in late September, with winter fast approaching and the horses beginning to die of disease and starvation, Bedaux called a halt to the trip just short of their destination.

<mask> (15 March 1864 – 4 December 1935) was a Norwegian composer, conductor and violinist. Life
Born in Drammen, he was an accomplished violinist from a very early age and became a prominent figure in Norwegian musical life. He received his musical education in Kristiania (now Oslo) and Stockholm, and was a concertmaster in Bergen before joining the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. He was a concertmaster in Aberdeen, then a professor of music in Helsinki, and finally became a student once again, in St Petersburg, Leipzig (with Adolph Brodsky), Berlin (with Adolf Becker), and Liège (with César Thomson). Returning to Norway in 1893, he worked as conductor of the theatre orchestra at Den Nationale Scene in Bergen and of the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. He became concertmaster of the Bergen Philharmonic in 1885, and principal conductor in 1893. In 1899 he was appointed conductor of the orchestra at the newly opened National Theatre in Kristiania, a position he held for 30 years until his retirement in 1929.As well as theatre music, <mask> conducted performances of over 30 operas and also wrote the incidental music for more than 30 plays. Following his retirement from the theatre he finally had time to concentrate on the composition of his three symphonies and two well-known Norwegian rhapsodies. <mask>'s compositions were a development of the national romantic tradition exemplified by Edvard Grieg though written in a distinctive style marked by innovative orchestration. <mask> married Grieg's niece, and orchestrated some of his piano works, such as a funeral march which was played at Grieg's funeral. Five days after <mask> died, Grieg's cousin and widow Nina Grieg also died. His best known works today are the Bojarenes inntogsmarsj (Entry March of the Boyars) and Bergensiana, along with his Passacaglia and Sarabande, duos for violin and viola based on themes by George Frideric Handel. In early 2016, librarians at the University of Toronto announced that they had located the manuscript score of his violin concerto, performed only three times in 1909 and considered lost.The piece received its fourth performance, 107 years later, in 2016.

<mask> of St. Victor (<mask>roy, Godefridus, Galfredus c. 1125 – c. 1195) was a French monk and theologian, and one of the last major figures of the Victorines. He was a supporter of the study of ancient philosophy and of the Victorine mysticism of Hugh of St. Victor and Richard of St. Victor. He is also known under the alternative bynames of Breteuil and of <mask>. He is the author of two important works, Microcosmus and Fons Philosophiae, both written in the 1170s. Microcosmus is extant in an autograph (BM ms. 1002, dated c. 1178–1180), including two self-portraits. Parts of <mask>'s work  are edited in Patrologia Latina, as Godefridus S. <mask>is (notitia et fragmenta, in vol. 196, as Gaufridus aput sanctam Barbaram in Neustria subprior canonicorum regularium (epistolae in vol.205). Life
He had initially studied and taught the trivium at the University of Paris between the years 1144 and 1155 at the school on the Petit Pont founded by Adam of Balsham. Like his friend Stephen of Tournai, to whom he dedicated Fons philosophiae, he may have studied law at Bologna. He was prior at Saint-Barbe-en-Auge, and later entered St. Victor's Abbey, Paris, an Augustinian establishment of canons regular. A product of the secular schools, <mask> is thought to have entered St Victor after becoming dissatisfied with Parisian intellectual culture. <mask> was assigned to a priory at some point after 1173 – it is thought that his humanistic outlook may have displeased Walter of St Victor who had succeeded Richard of St Victor as prior. He returned to the Abbey in 1185-6, and served there as armarius, in which capacity he was responsible for the production and preservation of the abbey’s manuscripts, particularly those used in the liturgy.He remained there until his own death around 1194/6. Works

The poem Fons Philosophiae (Fountain of Philosophy). Microcosmus ()
Preconium Augustini

Thirty-two sermons also survive. Most are unpublished, but the published sermons include:
Sermo in generali capitulo (Sermon at a General Chapter)
Sermo de omnibus sanctis (Sermon for All Saints)
Sermo de omnibus sanctis et specialiter de Sancto Victore (Sermon for All Saints and St Victor)
Anathomia Corporis Christi
De Spirituale corpore Christi

Microcosmus
The central theme of Microcosmus recalls the insight of classical philosophy and of the early Church Fathers, viz., that man is a microcosm, containing in himself the material and spiritual elements of reality. Microcosmus offers one of the first attempts by a medieval Scholastic philosopher to systematize history and knowledge into a comprehensive, rational structure. <mask> used the symbolism of a biblical framework to treat the physical, psychological, and ethical aspects of man. He affirmed man's matter-spirit unity and the basic goodness of his nature, tempering this optimism with the realization that human nature has been weakened ("fractured") by sin, but not to an intrinsically corrupted and irreparable extent.In the Microcosmus <mask> compared sensuality, imagination, reason and intelligence to the respective four classical elements, earth, water, air and fire. <mask> admits four principal capabilities in man: sensation, imagination, reason, and intelligence. Man's analytic reason and power of insight have the theoretical science of philosophy for their natural fulfillment. But a supernatural fulfillment, he maintains, consists in love. To this end divine intervention is needed to confer on man the perfective graces, or gifts, of enlightenment, affectivity, and perseverance. Fons philosophiae
In his other notable work, the Fons philosophiae (c. 1176; "The Fount of Philosophy"), <mask>, in rhymed verse, proposed a classification of learning and considered the controversy between realists and nominalists (who held that ideas were only names, not real things) over the problem of universal concepts. Fons philosophiae is an allegorical account of the sources of <mask>'s intellectual formation (e.g., Plato, Aristotle, and Boethius), symbolized as a flowing stream from which he drew water as a student.Another treatise, "Anatomy of the Body of Christ," appended to Fons Philosophiae, is a leading example of medieval Christian symbolism. A long poem ascribing to each member and organ of Christ's body some aspect of man's natural and supernatural purpose, it assembled texts from the early Church Fathers and helped form medieval devotion to the humanity of Christ. <mask>'s writings have won appreciation as a prime example of 12th-century humanism only through relatively recent scholarship, although their fundamental concepts of the positive values of man and nature were recognized to a limited extent by the high Scholasticism of the 13th century. The Fons Philosophiae was a didactic poem presented to Abbot Stephen of St. Genevieve on the occasion of his appointment to the position at some point following 1173. It was originally one of three treatises, forming a unified corpus when combined with the  Anathomia Corporis Christi  and the De Spirituale corpore Christi. All three were presented by <mask> to the Abbot as a matching set of spiritual works. The poem describes an exploration of the seven liberal arts as an allegorical journey through a system of rivers, in which draughts from different streams render different meanings.The Preconium Augustini is a poem on Augustine of Hippo of about 500 lines.

<mask> (1861–1902) was an Italian painter, draftsman, photographer, and ethnologist who in 1887 traveled through the interior of Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay to document the lives of Indians in the region. Now hailed as a "pioneer of fieldwork" in Italian ethnology, he was ritually killed by natives in 1902. Early years, Italy

<mask> was born on 20 September 1861 in Omegna (Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola) to <mask> and Clelia Gené. From his father, Giuseppe inherited a passion for the arts, especially painting. When he was 17, and after studying general culture, Boggiani went to the Brera Academy (Milan) to study painting. He was taught by Filippo Carcano, becoming a prominent landscape painter. In 1883 Boggiani exhibited six paintings for the first time in Palazzo delle Belle Arti (Rome).Among these were La raccolta delle castagne (Gathering of Chesnuts) and Scogli di Sant'Anna. His painting La raccolta delle castagne was acquired by the National Museum of Modern Art in Rome for about 6,000 pounds, a price considered high at that time. At the 1887 Exhibition in Venice, he displayed Gli ulivi a Francavilla al Mare; Sentiero a Lago Maggiore, Villaggio sul Lago Maggiore, and Ortensie. In 1887, when 26, Boggiani undertook a journey to Argentina to show his paintings. In Buenos Aires he met several Italians who lived in Paraguay, and through the comments made, especially on the areas of Chaco and indigenous peoples, his fascination with Paraguay started. Later years, Paraguay

In 1888 Boggiani went to Asunción intending to trade in cattle and hides, then began his first expedition in the Gran Chaco. With the efforts of Don Juan De Cominges he reached Puerto Casado.Here he made his first contact with the Chamacoco Indians. He returned to Italy in 1893, bringing a collection of artifacts of great anthropological value, and started writing books based on his experiences. In 1896 he returned to Asunción. This time equipped with a camera, tripod and all the elements for the development of glass plates, he was convinced that photography was the only way to study these peoples living in their little huts. In the end, besides his many books, his photographs (more than 500 were made from 1896 to 1901) earned him and the subjects of his art the interest and admiration of a wider audience; part of his collection was subsequently acquired by the Ethnological Museum of Berlin. Boggiani was last seen by urban society on 24 October 1901, along with his assistant Félix Gavilan, when he left Asunción towards the Gran Chaco. In October 1902 Boggiani wrote for the last time to his brother Oliveira, writing of details of the expedition.It wasn't until 1904 that the Italian community of Asunción organized an expedition, led by the Spanish explorer José Fernandez Cancio, and on 20 October 1904 found the remains of Boggiani with his skull destroyed. It is supposed that the Chamacoco had split his head to prevent Boggiani and his camera from exerting more harm to their souls; in 1902 the American Anthropologist reported he had been killed "presumably at the hands of the Tobas Indians." His camera was found buried, and it is assumed many negatives too are buried. The actual remains of Boggiani are in a tomb in the Italian cemetery of Asunción. Boggiani's work could be saved thanks to the Czech explorer and botanist Alberto Vojtěch Frič (1882–1944), who went to Paraguay a few years later and was able to recover all his belongings, thanks to his good relations with the natives. His grandson, Pavel Frič, later succeeded in developing all of the photographs, and the collection is reproduced in <mask>i, Photographer (1997). Awards, honors

In Italy Boggiani was awarded, among others, the gold medal "Monaco di Bavaria."A museum in the town of San Lorenzo (Paraguay) bears his name, the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography <mask>. A street in Asunción, Paraguay is also named after him. Bibliography
