# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Mörike, Eduard

Edition of 1920. See also Eduard Mörike on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
MÖRIKE, mė'rĭ-kë, Eduard, German lyric poet and short-story writer: b. Ludwigsburg, Württemberg, 8 Sept. 1804; d. Stuttgart, 4 June 1875. His father was Kreis Medical Councillor Karl Friedrich Mörike, d. 1817; his mother Charlotte, née Bayer. He attended the Latin school at Ludwigsburg, the seminary at Urach (1818), where he made the acquaintance of Wilhelm Hartlaub and Wilhelm Waiblinger; and the divinity school at Tübingen where he came into contact with Ludwig Bauer, David Friedrich Strauss and F. T. Vischer. After completing his studies at these theological institutions, he spent the greater part of his life as a country pastor in various parts of Württemberg. His longest incumbency was at Cleversulzbach (1834-43), where he associated with Justinus Kerner, Hermann Kurz, Uhland and Karl Mayer. From 1851 to 1866 he taught literature at the Stuttgart Katharinenstift, receiving the title of professor in 1856. His first literary work was the short novel of artist life, ‘Maler Nolten,’ which passed through many revisions and was printed in its final form after his death (1877). His shorter stories are more finished artistically, especially ‘Mozart auf der Reise nach Prag’ (Stuttgart 1856). As a lyricist, no other Suabian poet attains his simple yet perfect form. His observations of life and of nature are realistic, and his depth of feeling sometimes approaches Goethe's. Some of his poems have even become favorites among the people, especially the ballad ‘Schön Rotraut,’ opening with the line: ‘Wie heisst König Ringangs Töchterlein?’

MUNSON, James Eugene, American inventor: b. Paris, N. Y., 12 May 1825; d. 1906. He was educated at Amherst College and in 1857 removed to New York, where he was court stenographer for 30 years. He invented the “Munson System” of shorthand, a machine for operating the typewriter by telegraph and a type-setting machine. He published ‘The Complete Phonographer’ (1866); ‘Dictionary of Practical Phonography’ (1874; 2d ed. 1906); ‘The Phrase-Book of Practical Phonography’ (1889); ‘A Shorter Course in Munson Phonography’ (1901; 2d ed. 1912) ; ‘Phonographic Dictation Book’ (1904), etc.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Müller, Adam Heinrich

Edition of 1920. See also Adam Müller on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
MULLER, mü'lẽr, Adam Heinrich, German economist: b. Berlin, 1779; d. 1829. In his 19th year he went to the University of Göttingen, where he at first occupied himself with theology and then became a student of jurisprudence, in which he was a pupil of Hugo. He afterward sought to complete his education by the private study of the natural sciences, which he had previously neglected.
He early formed a close intimacy with Friedrich Gentz, his elder by 15 years; and this connection exercised an important influence both on his material circumstances and his mental development in after life. The two men differed widely in character and in their fundamental principles, but agreed, at least in their later period, in their practical political aims, and the friendship was only terminated by death. Müller's relations with the Junker party and his co-operation with them in their opposition to Hardenberg's reforms made any public employment in Prussia impossible for him. In 1805 he was in Vienna, where he became a convert to Roman Catholicism, and through Gentz was brought into relations with Metternich, to whom he was useful in the preparation of state papers. In 1806-09 he was in Dresden, being occupied in the political education of Prince Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar. In 1813 he entered the Austrian service, and in 1815 accompanied the Allies to Paris. He was ennobled by the emperor in 1820. In 1827 he settled a second time in Vienna, and was employed in the state chancellery. He was one of the principal literary instruments of the reaction and took part in framing the Carlsbad resolutions. He was distinguished as a writer not only on politics and economics, but on literature and æsthetics. His principal work is his ‘Elemente der Staatskunst’ (1809), which contains the substance of a course of lectures delivered at Dresden to statesmen and diplomatists. In political economy he represents a reaction against the doctrines of Adam Smith, whom, while he highly commends him in certain respects, he censures as presenting a one-sidedly material and individualistic conception of society, and as being too exclusively English in his views. Müller's leading idea is that of the organic unity and continuity of the state and of social institutions in general. Some of his higher tendencies, freed from much of their alloy, are reproduced in the writings of the historical school of German economists. Other works by Müller are ‘Die Theorie der Staatshaushaltung und ihre Fortschritte in Deutschland und England seit Adam Smith’ (1812); ‘Versuch einer neuen Theorie des Geldes’ (1815); ‘Vermischte Schriften über Staat Philosophie und Kunst’ (2 vols., Vienna 1817); and ‘Von der Nothwendigkeit einer theologischen Grundlage der gesammten Staatswissenschaften und der Staatswirthschaft insbesondere’ (1819). Consult biographical notice of Mischler in ‘Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie.’
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Müller, Friedrich

Edition of 1920. See also Maler Müller on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
MÜLLER, Friedrich, called “Maler Müller,” or “Müller the Painter,” German artist and poet: b. Kreuznach, 13 Jan. 1749; d. Rome, 23 April 1825. Some of his etchings, animals, compositions in the Flemish style, pastoral scenes, etc., were remarkable for their originality and freedom. He deserves more credit as a poet, for at a time when German poetry had degenerated, Müller helped to give a new impulse to German literature. His best works, ‘Nible,’ ‘Faust’ and ‘Genevieve,’ are characterized by richness, warmth and elevated delineation of character, though sometimes wild and disconnected.

MÖLLHAUSEN, mėl'how'zĕn, Baldwin, German traveler and novelist: b. Bonn, 27 Jan. 1825; d. Berlin, 28 May 1905. He studied agriculture in Pommerania, then went (1850) to North America, joining (1851) Duke Paul of Würtemberg and his party in the Rocky Mountains. He was wounded by Indians but, after five months, navigated the Mississippi to New Orleans. He became topographer and draughtsman, at the instigation of Alexander von Humboldt, for an American scientific expedition to the Far West, returning (1854), via San Francisco and the Isthmus of Panama, to Germany, where he was appointed custodian of libraries in Potsdam. He made another trip (1857-58) to North America exploring central Colorado. He wrote ‘Tagebuch einer Reise vom Mississippi nach den Küsten der Südsee’ (Leipzig 1858) and ‘Reisen in die Felsengebirge Nordamerikas’ (ib. 1861). Of his novels most relate to adventure in America. Noteworthy are ‘Die Halbindianer’ (1861); ‘Der Flüchtling’ (1862); ‘Der Mayordomo’ (1863); ‘Das Mormonenmädchen’ (1864; 3d ed., 1871); ‘Reliquien’ (1865); ‘Die bieden Jachten’ (1891); ‘Der Spion’ (1893); ‘Das Fegefeuer in Frappes Wigwam’ (1900), etc. A collection of his works was published (1906-13), under title of ‘Illustrierte Romane, Reisen und Abenteuer.’

Edition of 1920. See also Charles Louis Müller on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
MÜLLER, Charles Louis, French painter: b. Paris, 22 Dec. 1815; d. there, 10 Jan. 1892. He was the pupil of L. Cogniet, Baron Gros and others in the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and in 1850 was made director of the manufactory of Gobelin tapestries. His fertility in the production of historic pictures and portraits was amazing. Among them are ‘Heliogahalus’ (1841); ‘Primavera’ (1846); ‘May-day’; ‘Lady Macbeth’; and his masterpiece, ‘The Last Victims to the Reign of Terror’; the last two being in the Luxembourg; ‘Vive l'Empereur’ (1855); ‘Marie Antoinette’ (1857); ‘A Mass During the Reign of Terror’ (1863); ‘The Madness of King Lear’ (1875); ‘Mater Dolorosa’ (1877). He executed the frescoes of the Salle d'Etat in the Louvre, and
as a painter is more to be commended for clever drawing and composition than for his somewhat flat and mediocre coloring. In 1864 he became a member of the Institute.

DEAR MARGOT, (Margaret E. Noble or Sister Nivedita)
. . . It seems there is a gloom over your mind. Never mind, nothing is to last for ever. Anyhow life is not eternal. I am so, so thankful for it. Suffering is the lot of the world's best and bravest — yet, for aeons yet — till things are righted; if possible, here — at least it is a discipline which breaks the dream. In my sane moments I rejoice for my sufferings. Some one must suffer here; — I am glad it is I, amongst others of nature's sacrifices.
Yours etc.,

DEAR MRS. BULL,
It is needless to express my gratitude at your most generous offer. I don't want to encumber myself with a large amount of money at the first start, but as things progress on I will be very glad to find employment for that sum. My idea is to start on a very small scale. I do not know anything yet. I will know my bearings when on the spot in India. From India I will write to you more details about my plans and the practical way to realise them. I start on the 16th and after a few days in Italy take the steamer at Naples.
Kindly convey my love to Mrs. Vaughan and Saradananda and to the rest of my friends there. As for you, I have always regarded you as the best friend I have, and it will be the same all my life.
With love and blessings,
Yours,
VIVEKANANDA.

MY DEAR DHIRA MATA, (Mrs. Ole Bull)
You know already my inability to accompany you. I cannot gather strength enough to accompany you. The cold in the lungs continues, and that is just what makes me unfit for travel. On the whole I hope to improve here.
I find my cousin has been all these years cultivating her mind with a will, and she knows all that the Bengali literature can give her, and that is a good deal, especially of metaphysics. She has already learnt to sign her name in English and the Roman alphabet. It is now real brain work to teach her, and therefore I have desisted. I am trying simply to idle away my time and force myself to take rest.
Ere this I had only love for you, but recent development proves that you are appointed by the Mother to watch over my life; hence, faith has been added to love! As regards me and my work, I hold henceforth that you are inspired, and I will gladly shake off all responsibilities from my shoulder and abide by what the Mother ordains through you.
Hoping soon to join you in Europe or America, I remain,
Ever your loving son,
VIVEKANANDA.

39 VICTORIA ST., LONDON S.W.,
28th Nov., 1896.
DEAR SISTERS, (Misses Mary and Harriet Hale.)
. . . I feel impelled to write a few lines to you before my departure for India. The work in London has been a roaring success. The English are not so bright as the Americans, but once you touch their heart, it is yours for ever. Slowly have I gained, and it is strange that in six months' work altogether I would have a steady class of 120 persons apart from public lectures. Here every one means work — the practical Englishman. Capt. and Mrs. Sevier and Mr. Goodwin are going to India with me to work and spend their own money on it! There are scores here ready to do the same: men and women of position, ready to give up everything for the idea, once they feel convinced! And last though not the least, the help in the shape of money to start my "work" in India has come and more will follow. My ideas about the English have been revolutionized. I now understand why the Lord has blessed them above all other races. They are steady, sincere to the backbone, with great depths of feeling — only with a crust of stoicism on the surface; if that is broken, you have your man.
Now I am going to start a centre in Calcutta and another in the Himalayas. The Himalayan one will be an entire hill about 7,000 ft. high — cool in summer, cold in winter. Capt. and Mrs. Sevier will live there, and it will be the centre for European workers, as I do not want to kill them by forcing on them the Indian mode of living and the fiery plains. My plan is to send out numbers of Hindu boys to every civilised country to preach — get men and women from foreign countries to work in India. This would be a good exchange. After having established the centres, I go about up and down like the gentleman in the book of Job.
Here I must end to catch the mail. Things are opening for me. I am glad, and I know so you are. Now all blessings be yours and all happiness.
With eternal love,
VIVEKANANDA,
PS. What about Dharmapala? What is he doing? Give him my love if you meet him.

I am to start from here for India on the 16th and to take the steamer at Naples. I will, therefore, be in Italy for some days and in Rome for three or four days. I will be very happy to look in to say good-bye to you.
Capt. and Mrs. Sevier from England are going to India with me, and they will be with me in Italy of course. You saw them last summer.

DEAR MOTHER, (Shrimati Indumati Mitra)
I have duly received your letter and that of dear Haripada. Of course you have ample reason to feel sorry for, but you see, I couldn't help it. And what took me here also became a fiasco; neither could I go to Sindh. It is the Lord's will. Now, I have an idea of proceeding to Calcutta through Rajputana, Kathiawar, and Sindh. But some difficulty may crop up on the way. If all goes well, I am certainly coming to Sindh. You must have undergone a lot of difficulty in coming to Hyderabad by arranging for leave etc. Any least trouble undergone, is bound to produce its excellent results. Friday next I shall leave this place, and have a mind to go via Saharanpur to Rajputana direct. I am doing well now, and trust you too are in health and peace of mind. . . .
With best love and blessings to yourself and Haripada,
Yours sincerely,
VIVEKANANDA.
# The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce/Bk1 Chapter 5

CHAP. V.
THirdly, Yet it is next to be fear'd, if he must be still bound without reason by a deafe rigor, that when he perceives the just expectance of his mind defeated, he will begin even against Law to cast about where he may find his satisfaction more compleat, unlesse he be a thing heroically vertuous, and that are not the common lump of men for whom chiefly the Laws ought to be made, though not to their sins, yet to their unsinning weaknesses, it being above their strength to endure the lonely estate, which while they shun'd, they are fal'n into. And yet there follows upon this a worse temptation; for if he be such as hath spent his youth unblamably, and layd up his chiefest earthly comforts in the enjoyment of a contented mariage, nor did neglect that furderance which was to be obtain'd therein by constant prayers, when he shall find himselfe bound fast to ​an uncomplying discord of nature, or, as it oft happens, to an image of earth and fleam, with whom he lookt to be the copartner of a sweet and gladsome society, and sees withall that his bondage is now inevitable, though he be almost the strongest Christian, he will be ready to dispair in vertue, and mutin against divine providence: and this doubtles is the reason of those lapses and that melancholy despair which we see in many wedded persons, though they understand it not, or pretend other causes, because they know no remedy, and is of extreme danger; therefore when human frailty surcharg'd, is at such a losse, charity ought to venture much, and use bold physick, lest an over-tost faith endanger to shipwrack.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Hillel

Edition of 1920. See also Hillel the Elder on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HILLEL, Jewish rabbi, who flourished in the time of Herod. He was commonly called Ha-zaken, the elder, to distinguish him from others bearing the same name. Descended from an ancient family of Babylonia, he left his home to study law at Jerusalem. In order to earn a livelihood, he hired out as a day laborer, meanwhile studying diligently; and became an important authority on Jewish teaching and law. He was distinguished for the liberality of his thought and his interpretations of the
Scriptures and rabbinical teachings. Many fine sayings were attributed to him. He was president of the Sanhedrin for many years. By several modern writers, notably Renan, Hillel's influence on Jesus is given great weight. Consult Renan, 'Vie de Jésus' (Paris 1863); Geiger, A., 'Das Judenthum und seine Geschichte' (Breslau 1865); Stapfer, E., ‘Les Idées religieuses en Palestine à l’époque de Jésus Christ' (Paris 1878).

HILLERN, Wilhelmine von, German authoress: b. Munich, 11 March 1836. She is the daughter of a well-known novelist, Charlotte Birch-Pfeiffer. She was brought up in Berlin, became an actress at Gotha (1854), and married the prominent jurist von Hillern at Freiburg in Breisgau in 1857. Her husband died 8 Dec. 1882. She has since been living chiefly at Oberammergau and Tutzing. Her principal novels and short stories were produced during the 60's and 70's of the last century. One of them, ‘Höher als die Kirche’ (1877) is quite well known in America by reason of the fact that it is frequently read as a text by students of elementary German. It is a comparatively insignificant work, however, by no means so important as the novels, ‘Ein Arzt der Seele’ (Berlin 1869), ‘Die Geyer-Wally’ (Berlin 1875) and ‘Und sie kommt doch’ (Berlin 1879).

Maurice (q.v.); and in 1864, supported by Ruskin, began her great work of improving the homes of workingmen in the slums of London. Her methods were based upon the principle of teaching the people to help themselves, by inculcating in them right notions of cleanliness, order and self-respect. Her efforts were crowned with success; the houses which were improved yielded a good percentage on the money spent in effecting the improvements; and through her hundreds have been helped to lead more comfortable and better lives. She was a member of the Poor Law Commission of 1905, and was the author of ‘Homes of the London Poor’ (1875); ‘Our Common Land and other Essays’ (1878).
