RAMBERG, räm'bĕrg, Johann Heinrich, German artist: b. Hanover, 1763; d. there, 6 July 1840. He first showed his talent by drawings of scenes in the Harz Mountains. These became known to George III, king of England, his sovereign, as Elector of Hanover, who induced him to go to London, where he provided for him. He remained there nine years, and perfected himself under Reynolds. In 1788 the king sent him to Italy, whence he returned to Hanover where he was appointed painter to the court. He distinguished himself particularly in humorous drawings; as in his illustrations to ‘Reineke Fuchs’ and ‘Eulenspiegel.’ The drawings in the magnificent edition of Wieland's works are all by him; some he etched himself.

RANDALL, James Ryder, American journalist and poet: b. Baltimore, Md., 1 Jan. 1839; d. Augusta, Ga., 14 Jan. 1908. He was educated at Georgetown College, D.C., taught for a while in a Louisiana college, and then turned to journalism. In 1861 he wrote ‘Maryland, My Maryland,’ a song which when set to music became, next to ‘Dixie,’ the most popular of the Confederate war-songs and is considered by many to the best American martial lyric. None of his other songs achieved the fame of this, but several of them are of notable excellence. Among them are ‘Stonewall Jackson,’ and ‘There’s Life in the Old Land Yet.’ After 1866 he was for many years the editor of the Constitutionalist of Augusta, Ga., and later of the Morning Star of New Orleans.

RAMBERG, räm'bĕrg, Arthur, Baron, German painter: b. Vienna, 4 Sept. 1819; d. Munich, 5 Feb. 1875. He studied art at Hanover and early made a tour in Italy, Hungary and Styria. In 1840 he attended the university at Prague, while at the same time uniting the pursuit of art with his other studies. In 1842 he became a pupil at the Art Academy of Dresden under J. Hübner, and among other early
pictures produced his ‘Wedding of Dwarfs’ after Goethe; and ‘The Emperor Henry I on His Hungarian Campaign.’ In 1850 he went to Munich and executed a series of genres illustrating the works of Schiller. In 1860 he was appointed professor to the Art School in Weimar, and six years later took a similar position in the Academy of Munich. His subsequent productions include ‘The Court of Frederick II in Palermo’; and, among his genres, most notable are his ‘Hermann and Dorothea’ after Goethe; and ‘Luise,’ after the poem of J. H. Voss, which latter was much admired for its brilliancy in design and execution. He also frescoed the walls of Luther's chamber at Wartburg; and for the Grand Duchess of Saxe-Weimar illustrated the tale of the ‘King of the Frogs.’

# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Geoghegan, Right Rev. Patrick Bonaventure

Layout 2
​Geoghegan, Right Rev. Patrick Bonaventure, D.D., second Roman Catholic Bishop of Adelaide, was born at Dublin in 1811, and was primarily educated at Edgworthstown. At the age of sixteen he entered the Irish College at Lisbon, and afterwards joined the Franciscan Order at Coimbra, where he was ordained a priest. After officiating for a few years at St. Francis' Church, Dublin, he volunteered for the mission of New Holland, and was appointed first resident priest of Port Phillip, where he arrived in 1839. The spot where he celebrated the first mass on Victorian soil is marked by a cross in the grounds of St. Francis' Church, Melbourne. When the late Dr. Goold was made first Bishop of Melbourne, he appointed Dr. Geoghegan Vicar-General. On the death of Bishop Murphy, of Adelaide, he was appointed to succeed that prelate in the see, and was consecrated in Sept. 1859. He took possession of the see in the following November, but only held it for about five years, when he returned to Ireland, where he died at Kingstown, on May 5th, 1865.
# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Gibney, Right Rev. Matthew

Layout 2
​Gibney, Right Rev. Matthew, D.D., Roman Catholic Bishop of Perth, W.A., was formerly Vicar-General of that diocese, and was consecrated bishop by Cardinal Moran on Jan. 23rd, 1887. Dr. Gibney's name is best known in connection with a gallant feat which he performed on the occasion of the destruction of the Kelly gang of bushrangers at Glenrowan, in Victoria, where Bishop Gibney happened to be on a collecting tour, which he had undertaken on behalf of a Western Australian orphanage. The outlaws, who, to quote from Mr. Hogan's well-known work, "The Irish in Australia," "had long defied capture, and had carried on a career of murder and robbery, descended from their haunts in the mountain ranges and took possession of the village, making all the inhabitants prisoners. They cut the telegraph wires and tore up the railway; nevertheless, the authorities in Melbourne were apprised of this daring outrage, and despatched a large force to the locality. The bushrangers, taken by surprise, threw themselves into the village hotel, which they defended against the besiegers for the greater part of the day. Father Gibney, who happened to be in the neighbourhood at the time, hastened to the scene of strife, so that the services of a priest might not be wanting, if required. At an early stage of the conflict he endeavoured to advance through the ​open, and exert his influence with the besieged bushrangers to induce them to surrender, and thereby avert further bloodshed. He was confident that even such desperadoes would not fire on a priest; but the officers in command thought differently, and declined to allow him to place his life in jeopardy. When, however, late in the afternoon, the hotel was seen to be in flames, the brave priest refused to be kept back any longer, and rushed to the burning building, in the hope of being able to administer the last sacraments of the Church to any of the surviving bushrangers within. He was watched with eager and breathless attention as he crossed the open space in front of the outlaws' citadel, the general fear being that he would be shot down before he reached the house. A cheer went up from the excited spectators, as they saw him rush through the flames into the interior of the hotel, and a number of them were emboldened to follow in his footsteps. When Father Gibney got within the blazing building, he saw the bodies of the bushrangers lying on the floor, having apparently preferred to shoot themselves or each other rather than fall into the hands of the authorities. He had just time to touch their bodies, and ascertain that they were lifeless, before the advancing flames compelled him to beat a hasty retreat in order to save his own life. The courage and intrepidity displayed by Father Gibney on this occasion won universal admiration, and the news of his elevation to the mitre was received with cordial approval by the press and the public of all the colonies."
# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Giles, Ernest

Layout 2
​Giles, Ernest, F.R.G.S., the well-known explorer, son of William Giles and Jane Elizabeth his wife, was born at Bristol, educated at Christ's Hospital, London, and after leaving school joined his father and family in South Australia, to which colony they had preceded him. In 1852 he went to the Victorian goldfields, and subsequently became a clerk in the Post-office, Melbourne, and afterwards in the county court. Resigning his clerkship, he joined an exploring party in Queensland, and after several expeditions made his first memorable journey on his own account in the year 1872. In August of that year, with the assistance of his steadfast friend Baron von Mueller and his own slender resources, he managed to equip a light party, and penetrated into some fine country about 250 miles west of the great overland telegraph line between Adelaide and Port Darwin. The qualities shown on this expedition brought him friends. On a second appeal by Baron von Mueller a fund was raised by the liberality of some wealthy Victorians and some assistance from the South Australian Government, and Mr. Giles again set out with a party of four white men and twenty-four horses. He remained in the field constantly endeavouring to reach the western coast for one year, when, his provisions having given out and the party reduced to living on their horses, he made his way back to the settled districts of South Australia through great hardships, having added some 700 miles to previous knowledge of the interior. In 1875 he was fitted out by that munificent patron of exploration Sir Thomas Elder, of Adelaide, with nineteen camels and provisions for eighteen months. Through desert after desert for a distance of nearly 1500 miles he made ​ his way. For one fearful stretch of 325 miles the party found no water for seventeen days. After a struggle of six months, during which they had traversed some 2400 miles, they made the outlying settlements of Western Australia. Mr. Giles departed on his return journey several hundred miles to the north of his former route in Jan. 1876, and arrived at the telegraph line in August. In 1889 Mr. Giles, who is a gold medallist of the Royal Geographical Society, published a narrative of his explorations in two volumes entitled "Australia Twice Traversed."

Within the compass of the text on the Beginners' Department it is not possible to give an exhaustive treatment of the subject. It can only be suggestive. At the end of each chapter will be found the titles of books which offer further help along the lines intimated. There will be noticed a certain amount of repetition, which seems necessary, as the same things must often be considered in relation to the various chapter subjects.

# The Face That Launch'd a Thousand Ships

WAS THIS the face that launch'd a thousand ships, And burnt the topless towers of Ilium? Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss. Her lips suck forth my soul: see where it flies! Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again. Here will I dwell, for heaven is in these lips, And all is dross that is not Helena. I will be Paris, and for love of thee, Instead of Troy, shall Wittenberg be sack'd; And I will combat with weak Menelaus, And wear thy colours on my plumed crest; Yea, I will wound Achilles in the heel, And then return to Helen for a kiss. O, thou art fairer than the evening air Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars; Brighter art thou than flaming Jupiter When he appear'd to hapless Semele; More lovely than the monarch of the sky In wanton Arethusa's azur'd arms; And none but thou shalt be my paramour!

​Lonsdale, Captain William, first Colonial Secretary of Victoria, was originally an officer of the 4th Regiment, but after arrival in Sydney entered the Civil Service of the colony, and was employed as a police magistrate. In 1836, when measures were required for the preservation of order in the newly formed settlement, he was despatched by the Governor of New South Wales, Sir R. Bourke, with the appointment of police magistrate at the future Melbourne. He went to his new location in H.M.S. Rattlesnake, commanded by Captain William Hobson, afterwards first Governor of New Zealand, after whom Hobson's Bay, on which Melbourne stands, was named. In September Port Phillip was formally opened to settlement, and Lonsdale was instructed to form a bench of magistrates, to protect the natives from all manner of wrong, to pension Buckley (q.v.) the wild white man found amongst the blacks by Batman in the previous year, and generally to supervise the disposal of the public lands, to which previous unauthorised occupation was to give no prior claim at the sales which were to be carried out. In March 1837 Governor Bourke himself visited the settlement, and was received by Lonsdale, who was appointed sub-treasurer and was acting Superintendent of Port Phillip during the absence of the Superintendent, Mr. Latrobe, in Tasmania from Oct 1846 to ​Jan. 1847. When Port Phillip was separated from New South Wales in 1851, Captain Lonsdale was appointed first Colonial Secretary of the new colony of Victoria, as it was now called. He was also an ex-officio member of the Executive Council, and in Nov. 1851 was appointed by Governor Latrobe an official member of the semi-elective Legislative Council, his colleagues being Mr. (afterwards Sir) William Stawell, Mr. C. H. Ebden, Mr. (afterwards Sir Redmond) Barry, and Mr. R. W. Pohlman, all since deceased. Captain Lonsdale was Colonial Secretary during the perturbed times of the gold discovery until he was replaced by Mr. J. F. L. Foster in July 1853. He then returned to England, where he died.

Layout 2
​Loftus, The Right Hon. Lord Augustus William Frederick Spencer, G.C.B., P.C., is the fourth son of the second Marquis of Ely and Anna Maria his wife, daughter of Sir H. W. Dashwood, Bart. He was born on Oct. 4th, 1817, and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took the degree of M.A. Entering the diplomatic service, he was appointed attaché at Berlin in 1837 and paid attaché at Stuttgart in 1844. He accompanied Sir Stratford Canning (afterwards Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe) on his special mission to the Courts of Berlin, Vienna, Munich, and Athens in March 1848. He was appointed Secretary of the Legation at Stuttgart in 1852 and in Berlin in 1853, and Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in Vienna in March 1858. In August of the same year he was sent to represent the Queen at the marriage of his Serene Highness Prince Leiningen with the Princess Mary of Baden at Carlsruhe. In Dec 1860 Lord Augustus was transferred to Berlin. On the elevation of the mission in Berlin to the rank of an embassy he was removed, on Oct. 28th, 1862, to Munich, which was on that occasion raised to the rank of a first-class mission. He was created K.C.B. on Dec. 12th, 1862, was promoted to be Ambassador Extraordinary and ​plenipotentiary to the King of Prussia on Jan. 19th, 1866, and was made G.C.B. on July 6th, 1866. Lord Augustus was appointed Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the North German Confederation on Feb. 24th, 1868, was sworn of the Privy Council on Nov. 11th, 1868, and was appointed Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Emperor of Russia on Oct. 16th, 1871. The latter post he held till Feb. 1879, when he was appointed Governor of New South Wales, where he remained till 1885, when he was succeeded by Lord Carrington. Lord Augustus Loftus took an active part in the despatch of the New South Wales contingent to the Soudan, and indeed it is doubtful whether he may not claim to have been the author of the project for offering colonial aid to the imperial authorities on this occasion. Lord Augustus retired on a pension, and resides in England. He married on August 9th, 1845, Emma, daughter of Admiral Henry Francis Greville, C.B. In 1892 he published his “Diplomatic Reminiscences”.
