PREFACE
This is the authorized English edition of the "Gospel of Râmakrishna." For the first time in the history of the world's Great Saviours, the exact words of the Master were recorded verbatim by one of His devoted disciples. These words were originally spoken in the Bengali language of India. They were taken down in the form of diary notes by a house-holder disciple, "M." At the request of Srî Râmakrishna's Sannyâsin disciples, however, these notes were published at Calcutta during 1902-1903 a.d., in Bengali, in two volumes, entitled "Râmakrishna Kathâmrita."
At that time "M" wrote to me letters authorizing me to edit and publish the English translation of his notes, and sent me the manuscript in English which he himself translated, together with a true copy of a personal ​letter which Swâmi Vivekânanda wrote to him.
At the request of "M" I have edited and remodelled the larger portion of his English manuscript; while the remaining portions I ​have translated directly from the Bengali edition of his notes. The marginal headings, foot-notes, and index, as well as the division of the Gospel into fourteen chapters, were added by me. I have endeavored to make every word of this edition as literal, simple, and colloquial as possible.
Some repetitions are purposely kept to show how the Master used the same illustrations on different occasions during the course of His eloquent conversations.
The completed work is now offered to the Western World with the sincere hope that the sublime teachings of Srî Râmakrishna may open the spiritual sight of seekers after Truth, and bring peace and freedom to all souls struggling for realization.
Swâmi Abhedânanda.

Spawning in the Earth.
This is performed by previously earthing the bed, and then inserting the pieces of spawn into the earth, which often proves very successful.
The bed is first beat smooth with the spade, then earthed all over evenly about two inches ​deep; then, breaking the spawn into moderate lumps, introduce them into the earth at small distances all over the bed; and, when finished, add a little fine earth over the whole near an inch thick, smoothing it off with the spade, as in the other beds; afterwards, observing the former cautions, let it be littered in due time with straw, or litter, and mats, as before directed.
# The Garden Mushroom/Chapter 3

Generation of the Plant.
THE Mushroom tribe has long afforded much speculation to naturalists, with respect to being perfect or imperfect plants. The flower and seed, from their exceeding ​minuteness and obscurity, (if they really exist at all) remaining invisible even by the aid of the microscope. Many therefore suppose that there is no production of flower or seed, but that they owe their origin entirely to the putrefaction of earth or dung. This sort of soil however first discovers them under the form of a white, mouldy, fibrous substance, called spawn, which proves productive of numerous minute white knots, or embryo plants, gradually increasing to the perfect Mushroom.
On this subject the botanic world have been long divided in opinion, the moderns generally contend for the flower and seed, and have in a manner confuted the doctrine of putrefaction.
These consider the Mushroom as a true and perfect plant, produced from seed ​afforded from the flower of preceding plants by some wonderful secret in nature.
The invisible seed discharged on the adjacent soil, and thence disseminated by the air to situations adapted to it's nature, germinates and shoots forth into white fibrous, cobweb-like substances, spreading and forming the spawn and embryo plants for the production of the future Mushroom. Thus, probably, by such dissemination, and so mysterious a progress of nature, adapted to certain soils and situations, it is, that we often find both Mushroom and spawn abundantly in obscure places where none were ever observed before, in old dung hot-beds, horse dunghills, and in bye dry places where horse-stable dung has lain undisturbed til rotten.
The spawn is also often found in pasture fields under the turf, in places where ​rooms are observed to rise naturally, dung-spawn however is preferable for garden culture, as well on account of the probability of a good crop, as of it's being the true sort.
# The Garden Mushroom/Chapter 5

Of preparing Dung for the Beds.
NO dung answers the purpose so well as that of the horse, the dung and urine of this animal, together with the wet straw litter of the stalls in the stables, being of a hot quality, ferments, and acquires a strong degree of heat of long duration; but as this heat generally proves too violent at first for the growth of vegetables, the dung should always be previously reduced to a proper temperature, by casting it up in an heap, and turning it once or twice, in order to evaporate the rank burning steam before its fermentation. A quantity, in proportion to the size or extent of the intended bed must be procured. For a bed of twenty feet long, three or four large cart-loads will be necessary; and so in proportion to any length intended; as a bed may be made of almost any extent, ​from ten feet to fifty if required; four or five feet wide at bottom, drawing into a sharp ridge at top four or five feet high; which will allow for settling.
For private use, a single bed of about ten or fifteen feet in length may be fully sufficient. But for the supply of the London markets, long parallel ranges are made, from twenty to fifty feet in length.
Provide therefore a proportionate quantity of the best fresh horse-stable dung and litter, warm and moist, rejecting such as is dry and decayed, and such as has already exhausted its fermenting property. Let this be taken long and short as it comes to hand; and as it is brought in, toss it up together in an heap, carefully mixing, that the whole mass may acquire an equal degree of heat.
​Thus let it remain together three or four weeks, according to the quantity and strength of heat, in order that it may meliorate, by discharging the rank obnoxious steam; and if it is turned over once every week, it will still incorporate the parts more effectually, and give an additional vent to the fierce ferment.
This preparation of the dung is absolutely necessary, as without such precaution, when formed into a close bed, it is apt to acquire such a vehement degree of heat, as to burn and exhaust its vegetative power, without being able to effect the purpose intended; for the spawn requires a bed that only gradually advances to its full heat, and declines in the same gradual manner; till reduced to the low, kindly, growing warmth that is peculiar to the nature of the spawn, and the growth of the Mushroom:
# The Garden Mushroom/Chapter 11

General Culture of the Beds; and Produce
The covering of litter is to remain constantly on the beds, day and night, in all weathers, only be careful to examine it after hard rains, to remove the wet litter, as before observed. During the Winter season, in time of snow or cold rains, augment the thickness of the covering both of the litter and the mats.
​With respect to the produce, the beds begin furnishing Mushrooms in a month or six weeks after spawning: sometimes indeed it will be two or three months, but there is no great success to be expected when they are long before they yield their first crop; a good working bed, if well spawned and managed, commonly affords plenty in six or eight weeks, continuing sometimes for three months together, rising in numerous clusters one under another, covering the surface of the bed, some appearing in embryo, some larger, and others, at the fame time, full sized; but these last should not remain long enough to become large flaps, because they would prove detrimental to the adjoining successional plants, especially when the bed is in full production.
The Autumnal beds, if the spawn is in perfection, generally produce in a shorter ​time than those made in the middle of Winter, and Spring beds more freely than those of the hot time of Summer.
When it happens that a bed disappoints our expectation, if, upon examination, the spawn appears in life and health, and smells well, you are not to disturb it too hastily, for sometimes, after remaining dormant several months, a bed will break forth all at once into considerable crops. To assist such beds we sometimes, in Winter especially, if the heat appears to be greatly declined, apply a quantity of moderately warm stable litter over the whole, having first some dry litter immediately next the bed, then the warm litter a foot thick over that; which often, by its kindly warmth, vegetates into life the inactive spawn.
​Be very careful to see that the beds remain sufficiently defended with proper dry litter, never exposing them to the open air, in cold weather especially, except just to gather the produce; or, occasionally, when they have received too much wet, in order to dry the surface for an hour or so in a fine day; or to remove casual wet or decayed litter next the bed, till fresh is added in its room; directly covering the whole over again of the proper thickness with perfectly dry litter.
If after excessive rains, the covering receive wet, so as to penetrate a considerable way through, let it be as soon as possible, turned off with a light fork, in a dry time of the day; removing the wet litter next the bed quite away, and directly adding some dry.
​Likewise when the litter by long lying on the bed decays, or becomes any way dungy, it should be removed and fresh dry litter applied.
In very cold weather, when beds not naturally worn-out, suddenly decline, it is for want of a proper warmth, which try to recover by applying warm dry litter, as already mentioned.
In very dry hot weather occasionally open the beds then in bearing, and refresh them with a moderate sprinkling of water, or a moderate shower, covering them up again.
# The Garden Mushroom/Chapter 2

THE Mushroom is a fungous plant, without appearance of leaves, flowers, or seed, a species of the Genus Agaricus, subject to the botanic class Cryptogamia Fungi, comprehending fungous plants, which have concealed, or doubtful genital organs, and without visible flower or seed; thereby belonging to the family of imperfect vegetables; a numerous train of which are of this fungous tribe. They consist of different genera, and numerous species and varieties, many of them of a poisonous, or at least of a suspicious nature. One species only merits cultivation as a wholesome esculent, which is that under consideration.
Agaricus Campestris, Field Agaric, or Common Mushroom, rises from the ground in its ​perfect form, with an erect robust stipes or stem, one inch or more high, crowned with a round, convex, thick, fleshy, white head or hat, pileus, with lamellæ, or gills, underneath, of a reddish flesh colour; it is supposed the flower and seed, if any, are concealed between the lamellæ. When the plant arrives at full growth, the head expanding almost flat, forms a large flap, and falls on the ground over the supposed seed.
This is a fugacious plant of quick growth and short duration, advancing first like small white round knobs, which, increasing fast in size, and sometimes partly accomplishing their growth within the surface, suddenly make their eruption from the earth above half-grown, in the morning, where there was no sign of them the night before. But in the regular beds they arise variously, spreading over the whole surface, some as small as
# The Garden Mushroom/Chapter 12

Of gathering the Mushrooms.
Though the first production is sometimes six or eight weeks or more after spawning ​before it appears, at the end of a month begin to examine the progress and working of the bed, and if successful, you will discover the running and knotting of the spawn abundantly; the Mushrooms will soon after begin to advance plenteously all over the bed, when they may be gathered as they are wanted.
In proceeding to gather them, chuse dry weather, especially during the cold seasons, and turn off the litter on one side first. Gather those above the size of good middling round buttons, with a gentle twist of the hand, head and stalk together; and be careful, in their clusters not to disturb the young successional ones which are advancing just within and out of the surface; lay them gently in a basket, and search quite to the bottom of the bed; not permitting any to ​remain to become large flaps unless such are particularly wanted, as sometimes they are.
As soon as you have finished gathering, cover the bed over again directly with the litter, and if in Winter with mats also.
If the bed is in full production it will probably afford two or three gatherings weekly, afterward not above once a week or fortnight, but generally examine it once a week, as long as it is expected to bear.
A Mushroom-bed seldom furnishes any abundance after two or three months; it has often done its best in six weeks.
When, however, the bed has totally ceased to produce, it will furnish a supply of spawn for other beds, and the dung will ​be excellent manure to wheel on the kitchen ground. Be careful in pulling it to pieces, to preserve the fresh good lumps of spawn, and lay them up dry, as formerly directed, till they shall be wanted for new beds.
FINIS.
# The Garden Mushroom/Chapter 7

Spawning the Bed.
IN the work of spawning the bed, the utmost precaution must be observed, not to perform it until the great heat has passed off, and left only a very gentle warmth; for the small tender spawny-fibres and minute knots ​of embryo plants would, by one days great heat, be totally destroyed. All that is required, is a kindly warmth just to set the spawn in motion, and forward it in shooting out its tender fibres over the dung and earth. But it must be remembered, that a bed being spawned and closely covered over with the necessary coat of earth, an inch or two thick, thereby excluding the outward air, and confining the heat within, occasions that heat to be renewed afresh, and might cause the bed to burn; so that you must be cautious in putting in the spawn while much heat remains: nor must the covering of litter be applied too soon after, especially in strong beds: for these require a week, a fortnight, or more, before this is proper to be done.
Be careful therefore in these particulars: for on spawning and covering in at a due degree of warmth, depends the whole success; ​and in this you will be regulated according to the working of the bed, as some will be fit to spawn in two, three, or four weeks, others not in less than five or six, according to their length, and the strength of the dung. A bed of fifteen or twenty feet long will be sooner ready for spawning than one of forty or fifty.
After the bed has been made a fortnight or three weeks, examine it frequently by the trying-sticks, which we advised, examining them frequently and you will readily discover the requisite heat and proper state to admit of spawning.
Sometimes in very substantial beds, after they have remained seemingly long enough, and we are doubtful of an increase of heat, we begin spawning on the lower part of the bed first, which part becomes warm before ​the upper; the heat naturally mounting upwards, and remaining hot longest towards the top; besides, by leaving the upper half unspawned and un-earthed, the heat from below if it should prove a little too strong, finds vent above; but in about a week's time spawn it wholly: the lower part having a week's advanced growth, will probably furnish a small gathering some days before the upper half.
However, in general, after having observed the necessary precautions just given, take the first opportunity to perform the spawning, losing no time for the bed to exhaust itself ineffectually without being planted.
Let the spawn be brought forth in a dry day, and be careful that it is tolerably dry in itself; proceed to plant it in pretty middling lumps; not separating the spawn, from the ​lumps of dung in which it is contained; but observing that the large cakes be broken into moderate pieces. Plant the sides of the bed in one or other of the three following methods, viz. just within the dung, earthing over an inch or two thick―on the surface, and then earthing over—or, by first earthing the bed an inch or two thick, then spawning the earth, and adding an inch depth more over the whole.
Each method perform as follows.

#### Chorus

Gather up the pots and the old tin cans The mash, the corn, the barley and the bran. Run like the devil from the excise man Keep the smoke from rising, Barney.
Keep your eyes well peeled today The excise men are on their way Searching for the mountain tay In the hills of Connemara.
Swinging to the left, swinging to the right The excise men will dance all night Drinkin' up the tay till the broad daylight In the hills of Connemara.
A gallon for the butcher and a quart for John And a bottle for poor old Father Tom Just to help the poor old dear along In the hills of Connemara.
Stand your ground, for it's too late The excise men are at the gate. Glory be to Paddy, but they're drinkin' it straight In the hills of Connemara.

HESSE, hĕs'se, Hermann (also known under the pseudonym Hermann Lauscher), German novelist: b. Calw, Württemberg, 2 July 1877, the son of the editor of a religious journal, Johannes Hesse. He became a mechanic, later a bookseller at Basle, where he simultaneously attended lectures on literature and the history of art. In his choice of petty burgher subjects, as well as in his warmth of language and treatment, Hesse reminds one of the Swiss writers, particularly Gottfried Keller. Since
1905 he has been living at Gaienhofen, near Radolfzell, on Lake Constance. His delicate delineation of moods and milieus perhaps fits him better for the German short story (Novelle) than for the longer novel. In him, there are many reminiscences of Adalbert Stifter; his mood of recalling the events of childhood, which seems to be a constant preoccupation with him, yields him material for delightfully intimate treatment in three of his romances, ‘Hermann Lauscher,’ ‘Peter Camenzind,’ ‘Unterm Rad.’ He avoids the narrative of striking or impressive clashes of interest, preferring the more calm and peaceful life of the ordinary citizen. From ‘Nachbarn,’ a collection of short stories (1908), is taken ‘In the old “Sun” ’ (translated into English in ‘The German Classics,’ Vol. XIX, New York 1914). His works include ‘Romantische Lieder’ (1898); ‘Eine Stunde hinter Mitternacht’ (1899); ‘Hinterlassene Schriften und Gedichte Hermann Lauschers’ (1901); under the title ‘Hermann Lauscher,’ (1908); ‘Peter Camenzind,’ novel (Berlin 1904; 50th ed., 1909); ‘Unterm Rad’ (1905); ‘Diesseits’ (1907); ‘Nachbarn’ (1908); ‘Gertrud’ (1908); ‘Umwege,’ short stories (Berlin 1912).
