LAMBRUN, MARGARET,
Was a Scotchwoman, one of the retinue of Mary, Queen of Scots, as was also her husband, who died of grief on account of his queen's execution. Margaret Lambrun then resolved to avenge the death of both by assassinating Queen Elizabeth; she therefore dressed herself like a man, took the name of Anthony Sparke, and went to the court of the English queen, carrying with her a brace of pistols; one for the queen, and the other for herself. But, as she was pressing through the crowd to get near her majesty, who was then walking in her garden, she dropped one of her pistols. This being seen by the guards, she was seized, and brought before the queen, who wished to examine the prisoner herself. When Elizabeth demanded her name, country, and condition, Margaret replied with great firmness:
"Madam, though I appear in this habit, I am a woman; my name is Margaret Lambrun; I was several years in the service of Queen Mary, whom you have so unjustly put to death; and, by her death, you have caused that of my husband, who died of grief to see so innocent a queen perish so iniquitously. Now, as I had ​the greatest love and affection for both these personages, I resolved, at the peril of my own life, to revenge their death by killing yon, who are the cause of both, I confess to you, that I suffered many struggles within my breast, and have made all possible efforts to divert my resolution from so pernicious a design, but all in vain. I found myself necessitated to prove by experience the certain truth of that maxim, that neither reason nor force can hinder a woman from vengeance, when she is impelled thereto by love."
The queen heard this bold address with composure, and answered calmly: "You are then persuaded that, in this action, you have done your duty, and satisfied the demands which your love for your mistress and your spouse indispensably required from you; but what think you now is my duty to do to you?"
Margaret replied with the same unmoved hardiness: "I will tell you frankly my opinion, provided you let me know whether you put this question in the quality of a queen or in that of a judge?"
To which her majesty professing that of a queen: "Then," said Margaret, "your majesty ought to grant me a pardon."
"But what assurance can you give me," said the queen, "that you will not make the like attempt on some other occasion?"
"Madam," replied Lambrun, "a favour given under such restraint is no more a favour; and, in so doing, your majesty would act against me as a judge."
The queen turned to some of her council, and said, "I have been thirty years a queen, but do not remember to have had such a lecture ever read to me before;" and immediately granted an entire and unconditional pardon. Margaret Lambrun shewed her prudence by begging the queen to extend her generosity still farther, and grant her a safe conduct to the coast of France; with which request Elizabeth complied.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Lamia

Layout 2
LAMIA,
The most celebrated female flute-player of antiquity, was regarded as a prodigy—from her beauty, wit, and skill in her profession. The honours she received, which are recorded by several authors, particularly by Plutarch and Athenaeus, are sufficient testimonies of her great power over the passions of her hearers. Her claim to admiration from her personal charms, does not entirely depend upon the fidelity of historians, since an exquisite engraving of her head, upon amethyst, is preserved in a collection at Paris, which authenticates the account of her beauty.
As she was a great traveller, her reputation soon became very extensive. Her first journey from Athens, the place of her birth, was into Egypt, whither she was drawn by the fame of a flute-player of that country. Her genius and beauty procured for her the notice of Ptolemy, and she became his mistress; but in the conflict between Ptolemy and Demetrius Poliorcetes, for the Island of Cyprus, about B.C. 332, Ptolemy being defeated, his wives, domestics, and military stores fell into the hands of Demetrius.
The celebrated Lamia was among the captives on this occasion, and Demetrius, who was said to have conquered as many hearts as cities, conceived so ardent a passion for her, that from a sovereign he was transformed into a slave—though her beauty was on the decline, and Demetrius, the handsomest prince of his time, was much younger than herself.
​At her instigation, he conferred such extraordinary benefits on the Athenians, that they rendered him divine honours; and, as an acknowledgment of the influence Lamia had exercised in their favour, they dedicated a temple to her, under the name of "Venus Damia,"

​JENSEN, Adolph, composer, born Jan. 12, 1837, at Königsberg, was a pupil of Ehlert and F. Marpurg. In 1856 he visited Russia, but returned the next year to Germany, and was for a short time Capellmeister at Posen. He then paid a two years visit to Copenhagen, where he became intimate with Gade, 1860 to 66 were spent in his native place, and to this time a large proportion of his works (op. 6–33) are due. From 1866 to 68 he was attached to Tausig's school as teacher of the piano, and since that time resided on account of his health at Gratz and other places in South Germany. He died at Baden Baden, Jan. 24, 1879 [App. p.685 "Jan. 23"].

# A Dictionary of All Religions and Religious Denominations/Ubiquitarians

UBIQUITARIANS derived their name from maintaining that the body of Jesus Christ is ubique, every where, and in every place. Brentius is said to have first advanced this sentiment about the year 1560. The Ubiquitarians were not quite agreed among themselves; some holding that Christ, even during his mortal life, was every where, and others dating the ubiquity of his body from the time of his ascension.

UCKENWALLISTS, a party of Mennonists, followers of Ucke-Walles, a native of Friesland, who published his sentiments in the year 1637. He entertained a favourable opinion of the eternal state of Judas, and the rest of Christ's murderers. To give an air of plausibility to this sentiment, he invented the following hypothesis: that the period of time, which extended from the birth of Christ to the descent of the Holy Ghost, was a time of darkness; during which the Jews were entirely destitute of divine light; and that, of consequence, the sins commited during this interval were in a great measure excusable.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Gerber, Heinrich

From volume 1 of the work.
​GERBER, Heinrich Nicolaus, born 1702 in the principality of Schwarzburg; son of a peasant, studied at the University of Leipzig, where his love of music found encouragement in the teaching and conversation of Sebastian Bach; in 1728 he was organist at Heringen, and 1731 court organist at Sondershausen. Here for the first time he felt himself safe, as, on account of his extraordinary height, he had been constantly pursued by the recruiting officers of Frederic William I. He composed much for clavier, organ, and harp; a complete Choralbuch, with figured basses; and variations on chorales, long and widely used. He also made musical instruments, and planned many improvements and new inventions. Among others a kind of rebeck, harpsichord-shape, with a compass of 4 octaves; the keys liberated wooden balls which struck on bars of wood, and thus produced the notes. From 1749 Gerber was also court-secretary. He died Aug. 6, 1775.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Gerster, Etelka

​GERSTER, Etelka, born 1856 at Kaschau, Hungary, received instruction in singing from Mme. Marchesi at Vienna, and made her début Jan. 8, 1876, at Venice as Gilda, with great success, and as Ophelia. She played next at Genoa and Marseilles, and in March 1877 at Kroll's Theatre, Berlin, with her sister, Mme. Bertha Gerster-Kauser, at an Italian season there under the direction of Signor Pietro Gardini, to whom she was married in the May following. She made a great success there, and subsequently at Pesth, and at the Silesian Festival at Breslau. On June 23 of the same year she made her début at Her Majesty's as Amina, and became an immediate favourite, remaining there for four seasons until 1880 inclusive. Her parts there included the Queen of Night, Elvira ('Puritani'), Linda, Dinorah, Lucia, Edith ('Talismano'), Margaret, Violetta, and Gilda. A propos of the last, the 'Saturday Review' of June 29, 1878, wrote that she has 'given a fresh proof of her extraordinary vocal ​and dramatic genius. The exquisite beauty of her singing has never been shown to greater advantage, and her acting at every moment reveals true art and feeling. Among fine touches in Mme. Gerster's dramatic performance, we may specially note her wrapping her head in a cloak before she rushes in at the fatal door in the last scene, that she may at least not see the descending knife.'

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Gerbert von Hornau, Martin

From volume 1 of the work.
​GERBERT von Hornau, Martin, an ​eminent writer on the history of music, born Aug. 12, 1720, at Horb on the Neckar. He received a thorough literary education, including music, at Ludwigsburg. In 1736 he entered the Benedictine monastery of St. Blaise in the Black Forest, was ordained priest in 1744, and appointed Prince-Abbot Oct. 15, 1764. Historical research, especially in music, was his favourite pursuit, and a taste for this he endeavoured to infuse into the convent. The library afforded him ample materials, and much valuable matter hitherto unused. But this was not enough. Between the years 1759–65 he travelled through Germany, France, and Italy, making important discoveries, and establishing relations with various learned societies. His acquaintance with Padre Martini at Bologna was of special service to him. Their objects were closely connected—Gerbert's work being a history of Church music, Martini's one of music in general. In 1762 Gerbert published his prospectus, and invited contributions, which were furnished him in abundance. The first volume was nearly complete when a fire at the monastery in 1768 destroyed all the materials which had been collected; in 1774, however, the complete work appeared at St. Blaise, in 2 vols. 4to, with 40 engravings, under the title 'De cantu et musica sacra a prima ecclesiae aetate usque ad praesens tempus'; a book which has ever since formed the foundation of all musical scholarship, although naturally requiring much correction at the present day. A description of it appears in Forkel's 'Geschichte der Musik,' which without Gerbert's work would possibly never have been written, or would at any rate have been published later and in a far less complete form. Ten years after, in 1784, appeared Gerbert's second great work 'Scriptores ecclesiastici de musica sacra potissimum,' 3 vols. also printed at St. Blaise; a collection of treatises by the most important writers on music, recently continued by Coussemaker. Three more works, also printed at St. Blaise, deserve special mention, 'Iter alemannicum, accedit italicum et gallicum' (1765; 2nd ed. 1773; German ed. by Kochler, Ulm 1767), which contains the account of his travels, and abounds in interesting particulars; 'Vetus liturgia alemannica' (2 vols, 1776); and 'Monumenta veteris liturgiae alemannica' (2 vols, 1777). He also made the Latin translation of 'Opusculum theodiseum de Musica,' a treatise in 4 chapters written in old German by Notker (Labes) a monk of St. Gall in the 10th century (see Becker's 'Literatur der Musik,' p. 68). His other writings are mainly theological. Some offertories of his composition were published at Augsburg.

# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Philistines

​PHILISTINES. The Bible people of that name. They had settled in Palestine as early as the days of Abraham. In later times they grew to be the constant enemies of the Israelites. They are mentioned three times in the Book of Mormon (II Nephi, 12:6; 19:12; 21:14), always in quotations from the writings of Isaiah.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Rameumptom

​RAMEUMPTOM. The name given by the Zoramite apostates to the elevated place in their synagogues, whence they offered up their vainglorious and hypocritical prayers. Alma states the word means a holy stand. It resembles, in its roots, Hebrew, and also Egyptian, in a remarkable manner. Ramoth, high (as Ramoth Gilead), elevated, a place where one can see and be seen; or, in a figurative sense, sublime or exalted. Mptom has probably its root in the Hebrew word translated threshold, as we are told that the Philistine's god, Dagon, had a threshold in Ashdod (see I Samuel, 5:4, 5). Words with this root are ​quite numerous in the Bible. Thus we see how Rameumptom means a high place to stand upon, a holy stand.

​RAMAH HILL. The Jaredite name for the Hill Cumorah. In its immediate vicinity both the Jaredite and Nephite peoples were destroyed.

# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Riplah, Hill

​RIPLAH, HILL. A hill on the east side of the river Sidon, in the neighborhood of the land of Manti. Here a severe battle was fought between the Nephites and Lamanites (B. C. 75). The former were commanded by Moroni and Lehi, and the latter by Zarahemnah. The loss was so great on both sides that the dead were not counted. The battle ended in the surrender of the Lamanites, who, having given up their arms, and covenanted that they would never again come to war against the Nephites, were permitted to depart into the wilderness.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Riplakish

​RIPLAKISH. An unrighteous king of the Jaredites. He greatly afflicted his people by imposing upon them grievously heavy taxes, and when they could not, or would not pay these exactions he cast them into prison, where he ​compelled them to labor continually to sustain him in his whoredoms and abominations, and in the erection of costly and magnificent edifices that conduced to his luxury; if any prisoner refused to labor he was put to death. In this way he greatly adorned his kingdom, but he also filled it with prisons. For forty-two years the people groaned under his oppressions, when they rose in their anger, slew Riplakish and drove his descendants out of the land. What form of government immediately followed is uncertain, we have no information on this point, but we are told that after many years one of his descendants, named Morianton, established himself as king.

​RED SEA. This sea is mentioned by name thirteen times in the Book of Mormon. Of these thirteen, eight passages are associated with the destruction of the armies of Pharaoh in the days of Moses, the other five occur in connection with the travels of Lehi and his company from Jerusalem (B. C. 600) to its upper waters, and their encampment on its shores, with the incidents that took place while they tarried there. The continuation of their journey therefrom is mentioned in I Nephi, 16:14.
