# The New International Encyclopædia/Nordhoff, Charles

Edition of 1905. See also Charles Nordhoff (journalist) on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
NORDHOFF, nôrd′hō̇f, Charles (1830-1901). An American journalist, descriptive and miscellaneous writer, born in Erwitte, Westphalia. He came to America in 1835, was educated in Cincinnati, and was for nine years at sea, in the navy and merchant service; from 1853 to 1857 in various newspaper offices; was then employed editorially by the Harpers (1861), and for the next ten years on the staff of the New York Evening Post. From 1871 to 1873 Nordhoff traveled in California and visited Hawaii. He then became Washington correspondent of the New York Herald. The more noteworthy of his books are: Man-of-War Life, largely autobiographical (1855); The Merchant Vessel (1855); Whaling and Fishing (1856), both the result of personal experience, as was also Nine Years a Sailor (1857); then for ten years politics and sociology were his themes in Secession Is Rebellion (1860); The Freedmen of South Carolina (1863); America for the Working Men (1865). To sociology he contributed: Politics for Young Americans (1875), perhaps the best known and most useful of his books; The Communistic Societies of the United States (1875). Later volumes are God and the Future Life (1881) and Peninsular California (1888). Nordhoff died in California in July, 1901.

# The New International Encyclopædia/Nominalism

See also Nominalism on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ NOMINALISM (from nominal, from Lat. nominalis, relating to names, from nomen, name; connected with Gk. ὄνομα, onoma, Skt. nāman, OChurch Slav, ime, OIr. ainm, Goth. namō, OHG. namo, Ger. Name, AS. nama, Eng. name). The philosophical theory that only individual objects have real existence, and that so-called universals (see Judgment) are nothing but names given in common to actually different and incommunicable objects. These names were considered as nothing but so much breath (flatus vocis) , without indicating any real identity in the objects sharing in identical names. This view was an extreme development of the Aristotelian doctrine that all reality is individual, and that universals have existence only in individual objects; and it was called forth by the extreme Neo-Platonism of Erigena, who maintained that universals have an existence prior to particulars and individuals, and that the process of creation is only the progressive, logical differentiation of the universal. This Neo-Platonic view of the relation of the universal and the particular is called realism, and was advocated by Bernard of Chartres, Guillaume de Champeaux (q.v.), and Walter of Mortagne. Nominalism, on the contrary, was maintained by Roscelinus (q.v.). Abélard represented a modified nominalism in maintaining that the universal is not a real objective existence, nor, on the contrary, a mere word (vox), but the meaning of the word. This view, which is called sermonism (from sermo, which in scholastic Latin meant ‘predicate’), is a type of conceptualism (q.v.) peculiar to Abélard, and is to be distinguished from other forms of conceptualistic doctrine in that it did not point expressly to the fact that meanings are mental facts. With Abélard meanings seemed to reside in words, not as words but as predicates of propositions. The Arabian philosophers, and especially Avicenna (q.v.), succeeded in mediating between nominalism and realism by maintaining that universals are before individuals (realism) in the mind of God, in individuals (Aristotelianism) as their developed essence, and after individuals (nominalism) in human minds (conceptualism). This was the view adopted by Thomas Aquinas (q.v.) in his system and so incorporated in the received philosophy of the Roman Church. Nominalism received its last strong support in the teaching of William of Occam (q.v.) in the fourteenth century; but the influence of this revival was transitory, coming as it did upon the eve of the Renaissance and the general decline of interest in scholastic problems. See Löwe, Der Kampf zwischen Nominalismus und Realismus im Mittelalter: sein Ursprung und sein Verlauf (Prague, 1876); also the histories of philosophy by Ueberweg-Heinze, Windelband, Erdmann.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Nomarchy

See also Prefectures of Greece on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ NOMARCHY, or NOME. The largest administrative division of Greece. Since 1899 the nomarchies have numbered twenty-six. They are subdivided into eparchies, which in turn are made up of demarchies. The administration of the nomarchy is in the hands of a nomarch, appointed by the Government for an indefinite term. His duties are much like those of the French prefect. Like him, he is assisted by a council elected by universal suffrage, but for a fixed term. The eparchy corresponds to the French arrondissement and the demarchy to the commune.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Nome (Alaska)

See also Nome, Alaska on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ NOME, nōm. The largest city of Alaska, in the Northern District; situated at the mouth of the Snake River, 13 miles west of Cape Nome, on the north shore of Norton Sound, Bering Sea (Map: Alaska, C 3). It is the centre of the productive Cape Nome gold-mining district, which extends west along the coast for about 20 miles from Cape Nome. In the fall of 1898 the small streams in the vicinity were prospected with promising results, and in the following summer the creek diggings were being actively operated when the news of the rich beach deposits, first discovered in January, 1899, though their importance remained unrecognized until July, caused a rush to the beach, where about 2000 men were working by October. The output of the district for 1900 was more than $5,000,000, and in 1901 it was estimated at $7,000,000. During this period a ‘mushroom’ settlement of tents, first called Anvil City, had sprung up. This town was gradually replaced by a permanent city of frame structures after the arrival in June, 1899, of the first consignment of lumber. In the early days the matter of food and fuel supplies was a source of great anxiety; and the unsanitary conditions due to the level and undrained site of the town, its scanty water-supply, and the climatic changes resulted in considerable sickness. There now exists a fully organized city, compactly built over half of its length along the beach, with a municipal government, fire and police departments, sewerage, water, and ​electric-light systems, telephone service, etc.; and with a number of substantial commercial buildings, banks, commercial organizations, a court house, and a post office, hospitals, clubs, etc. A railroad extends from the coast to the mining claims at the foot-hills of the mountains. Population, in 1900, 12,488.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Nome (Egypt)

See also Nome (Egypt) on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ NOME (Lat. nomus, from Gk. νόμος, nomos, province, district, from νέμειν, nemein, to pasture, distribute). The name given by the Greeks to the provinces or districts into which Egypt was divided, from the earliest historical period down to the time of the Roman dominion. It is probable that the nomes were the remains of small independent States, which in very early times were united under a single monarchy. Each nome possessed its own god or group of gods, worshiped in the local temple, as also its own myths and religious traditions. The government of the nome was a copy, in miniature, of that of the State. At the head stood the nomarch, or governor, and under him was a regular gradation of officials, each responsible to his immediate superior. In the earlier period, each nome had its own treasury, its own courts of justice, and its own military establishment. Under the feudal system of the Middle Empire, the nomarchs were the heads of ancient noble families, and were prompt to take advantage of any weakness in the Central Government to make themselves practically independent princes. The old nobility was, however, extinguished in the Hyksos wars, and from the time of the New Empire the nomes were purely administrative districts ruled by royal governors, who still bore the title of nomarchs. In the time of the Ptolemies the chief officer of the nome was the strategos, under whom the nomarch was a subordinate official charged with supervising the collection of taxes and other financial matters. In general there were some 42 nomes, 22 in Upper and 20 in Lower Egypt, but the number was not invariable. So far as is at present known, the number of the nomes never fell below 36, nor exceeded 47.

# The New International Encyclopædia/Mitscherlich, Eilhard

Edition of 1905. See also Eilhard Mitscherlich on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
MITSCHERLICH, mĭt'shĕr-līK, Eilhard (1794-1863). A distinguished German chemist, born at Neuende, near Jever. In 1811 he proceeded to the University of Heidelberg, where, as well as at Paris and Göttingen, he devoted himself to history, philology, Oriental languages, and the natural sciences and medicine. Afterwards he turned his attention to chemistry, and while working under Link at Berlin he first observed the similarity in the crystalline form of those phosphates and arsenates similar in
chemical composition. He then set to work measuring crystals of a large number of substances, and was able to establish, about 1820, the principle of isomorphism. The importance of the discovery was fully recognized by Berzelius, on whose invitation Mitscherlich went to Stockholm, remaining there until 1821, when on the death of Klaproth he was appointed to the vacant chair of chemistry at Berlin. One of his earliest discoveries after his appointment was that of the double crystalline form of sulphur, the first observed case of dimorphism. He further discovered selenic and permanganic acids and nitro-benzene; studied the formation of ethers, the phenomena of fermentation, etc. His principal work is his Lehrbuch der Chemie, begun in 1829 (ed. 4, Berlin. 1842-47). His papers on various scientific topics appeared in Poggendorff's Annalen, in the Annales de chimie et de physique, and in the Abhandlungen of the Academy of Berlin. A complete edition of his works was published at Berlin in 1896. Mitscherlich was an honorary member of almost all the great scientific societies, and received the gold medal from the Royal Society of London for his discovery of the law of isomorphism. Consult Rose, Eilhard Mitscherlich (Berlin, 1864). See Chemistry, section on History, paragraph General Chemistry.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Mittag-Leffler, Magnus Gösta, Baron von

Edition of 1905. See also Gösta Mittag-Leffler on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
MITTAG-LEEFLER, mĭt'tȧg-lĕf'lẽr, Magnus Gösta, Baron von (1846—). A Swedish mathematician, born at Stockholm. He studied mathematics at Upsala and later under Weierstrass at Berlin. He began his teaching as tutor at Upsala in 1872, and five years later became professor of mathematics at Helsingfors. In 1881 he was made professor of mathematics at the University of Stockholm, and subsequently was several times its rector. He was made a member of the Academy of Sciences of Sweden in 1883. His mathematical contributions are connected chiefly with the theory of functions. In 1882, under the patronage of King Oscar, he founded the Acta Mathematica, at present one of the leading mathematical journals of the world. The historical part of this journal has since 1887 been published separately by Eneström as the Bibliotheca Mathematica. It was Mittag-Leffler's appreciation of Sonya Kovalevsky's (q.v.) work that took her to Stockholm.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Moallakat

Edition of 1905. See also Mu'allaqat on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ MOALLAKAT, mō′ȧl-lȧ-kät′ (Ar., hung up). A collection of seven Arabic poems by the same number of authors who lived in the century preceding the birth of Mohammed. The name refers to the custom of hanging poetical compositions on the walls of the Kaaba as a challenge to competing poets.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Moat

Edition of 1905. See also Moat on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ MOAT (OF. mote, embankment, from ML. mota, mound, embankment, ditch, castle; probably connected ultimately with Bavarian mott, peat, Swiss mutte, turf). The ditch round the ramparts of a fortress. See Fortification; Castle.

​ MO′BERLY. A city in Randolph County, Mo., 130 miles east by north of Kansas City; on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas and the Wabash railroads (Map: Missouri, D 2). It has the division headquarters and machine shops of the Wabash Railroad, brick yards, flouring and planing mills, foundries and machine shops, ice factory, and a large grain elevator. There are valuable deposits of coal and fire clay in the vicinity. An extensive trade is carried on in agricultural and dairy products, lumber, live stock, poultry, hides, wool, tobacco, and, of the city's manufactured products, flour and bricks. Moberly has a public library and a Y. M. C. A. building. Population, in 1890, 8215; in 1900, 8012.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Moawiyah

Edition of 1905. See also Muawiyah I on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ MOAWIYAH, mō′ȧ-wē′yȧ (Ar. Mu‘āwiyyah) (c.610-680). Caliph, and founder of the Ommiad dynasty. He was born at Mecca, the son of Abu Sofian, the bitter enemy of Mohammed. He was made Governor of Syria by the Caliph Othman, and during his term of office conquered the island of Rhodes, but lost Cyprus. On the proclamation of Ali as the successor of Othman in 656, Moawiyah revolted, and with the aid of the gifted Amr ibn al-Asi attempted to make himself Caliph. He was defeated in several battles by Ali, who, however, was prevented by domestic rebellion and foreign war from completely crushing his rival. Moawiyah was proclaimed Caliph at Damascus, 657, and after the assassination of Ali in 661 he succeeded in speedily reducing the rest of the Empire to submission. His army, after making extensive conquests, was unable, after a long siege and repeated assaults, to capture Constantinople, and in 678 he entered into a treaty of peace with the Byzantine Emperor. Moawiyah not only exerted absolute control over the Saracen empire, but succeeded in having the caliphate declared hereditary in his family. Consult: Muir, Annals of the Early Caliphate (London, 1883); Weil, Geschichte des islamitischen Volkes (Stuttgart, 1866).
# The New International Encyclopædia/Mittermaier, Karl Joseph Anton

Edition of 1905. See also Carl Joseph Anton Mittermaier on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
MITTERMAIER, mĭt'tẽr-mī'ẽr, Karl Joseph Anton (1787-1867). A German jurist; born in Munich, and educated at the universities of Landeshut and Heidelberg. He was a professor at Bonn for two years, 1819-21; but the rest of his life was passed as professor of law and jurisprudence at Heidelberg. For many years he was a member of the Baden Legislature, and in 1848 he was president of the Frankfort Vorparlament, serving afterwards as representative of the city of Baden in the German National Assembly. His greatest claim to distinction lies in his extensive writings on jurisprudence, among which is a complete manual of criminal law, Das deutsche Strafverfahren, and he was an earnest advocate of reform in the German criminal procedure and in prison discipline. The number of his published writings is very large, including many treatises on branches of law, discussions on all the important questions of his time connected with jurisprudence, and especially on trial by jury and the penal
code. His principal works have been translated into many languages. He himself translated Francis Lieber's Letter on Anglican and Gallican Liberty, and edited the German translation of the same author's Civil Liberty.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Mitterwurzer, Anton

Edition of 1905. See also Anton Mitterwurzer on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
MITTERWURZER, mĭt'tẽr-vōōrts'ẽr, Anton (1818-76). A German opera singer, one of the greatest barytone interpreters of the works of Gluck, Marschner, and Wagner. He was born at Sterzing in the Tyrol; made his first theatrical appearance at Innsbruck, and at twenty-one was engaged at Dresden, where he stayed for thirty years, and greatly influenced operatic methods. Mitterwurzer was at his best in such Wagnerian rôles as Wolfram, Telramund, and Hans Sachs.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Mistake

Edition of 1905. See also Mistake (contract law) on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​MISTAKE. An erroneous mental conception affecting the will, and hence leading to or preventing some act. The importance of the mistake in legal contemplation is its effect upon the act. In general a mistake of law produces no legal effect upon an act influenced or induced by it. Thus one is without remedy who has entered into a contract without knowing or understanding the legal effect, or who has voluntarily, and with full knowledge of the facts, paid a claim not well founded in law. The full acceptance of the doctrine is due to a misapplication of the measure Ignorantia juris non excusat (“ignorance of the law does not excuse”), which is applicable only in the criminal law or under statutes imposing quasi-criminal penalties where sound policy requires that ignorance of law should not excuse one charged with a crime. (See Intent.) Mistake of fact has a direct legal effect on many acts, and the law in many cases affords a remedy to one who has done a prejudicial act induced by mistake of fact.
The effect of mutual mistake as to a material term of a contract is to prevent the meeting of the minds, and thus prevent the formation of a contract (q.v.). The effect of mutual mistake of fact in case of sale is to prevent passing of title, and one who has given up the possession of personal property under mistake, preventing the passing of title, may recover the specific property by an appropriate action, or its value in an action of trover. In general, whenever money or property is delivered to another under material mistake of fact, its value may be recovered in an action based on the theory of quasi-contract (q.v.). In the law of tort, the effect of mistake of fact varies considerably with the different branches of the subject. In the law of trespass, one is required to know his own, and he interferes with the property of another at his peril; hence mistake of fact does not affect his liability. The same is true of libel and slander. Equity has jurisdiction to relieve one from the consequences of his mistake of fact, by compelling a reformation or rescission of a contract.
