He was appointed assistant in the Sydney Observatory, and Government Astronomer in July 1870. Mr. Russell, who has been a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society since 1872, has inaugurated a system of meteorological observations throughout the colony, and in 1874 organised four parties to observe the transit of Venus, the results being utilised by the Astronomer Royal in the determination of the sun's distance. He is the author of "Memoirs on the Australian Eclipse Expedition," published in 1875, and of numerous other papers on astronomical subjects, and has designed a variety of instruments for use in the observatory. In 1877 his life was attempted by means of an infernal machine. He was created C.M.G. in 1890, and elected Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sydney in 1891.
# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Ross, Hon. Sir Robert Dalrymple

Layout 2
​Ross, Hon. Sir Robert Dalrymple, sometime Speaker Legislative Assembly, South Australia, was the son of John Pemberton Ross, a West Indian planter, by his marriage with a daughter of Dr. Alexander Anderson. In 1858 Mr. Ross was appointed acting Colonial Secretary of the Gold Coast, but retired in August 1859, after displaying great bravery and discretion in dealing with the disaffected tribes. When at Cape Coast Castle he initiated negotiations which led to the ultimate acquisition by England of the Dutch settlements on the Gold Coast. On his return home Mr. Ross was appointed to the commissariat control of districts A and B, but in 1860 was ordered to China and served at Tientsin with the expeditionary force under General Sir Hope Grant. He was then military accountant in China, stationed at Hong Kong until 1862, when he was appointed head of the Commissariat Department in South Australia, and subsequently provincial aide-de-camp and private secretary to Sir D. Daly, the then Governor. Mr. Ross served in the Maori war of 1864-5, and received the New Zealand medal. At the close of the war he returned to Australia, and in 1869, on promotion, to England. He visited India at the request of Sir James Fergusson, then Governor of South Australia, with a view to inducing the Government to start a central remount station at Port Darwin, so as to secure a steady supply of Australian horses for army purposes. Though this mission was in the end resultless, Mr. Ross was officially thanked by the Governor-General for the information afforded. In a letter to the Times written about this time Mr. Ross advocated the then novel idea that the Port Darwin line of cable communication between England and Australia should be constructed without subsidies on a business basis, as was ultimately done. In Dec. 1869 Mr. Ross was ordered to Ireland to take charge of the flying columns then being organised at Limerick, Tipperary, etc., to operate against the Fenians. In May 1870 he was stationed at Manchester on duty in the Control Department, but in the following year finally left the Government service and settled in South Australia. Here he was elected to the Legislative Assembly for Wallaroo in 1875, and for Gumeracha later on. On the death of Mr. Dutton in 1877, he was offered the post of Agent-General for the colony in London, but declined it, and Sir Arthur Blyth was appointed. He was Treasurer in the Colton Government from June 1876 to Oct. 1877, and in Jan. 1881 he was elected Speaker of the Legislative Assembly in succession to the late Sir G. S. Kingston. He was three times successively re-elected, and filled the chair of the house till his death on Dec. 27th, 1887. He was knighted in 1886.

​Rounsevell, Hon. William Benjamin, M.P., late Treasurer of South Australia, is the second son of the late William Rounsevell, coach proprietor, and received his education at St. Peter's College, Adelaide. On the death of his father he, in common with his brother, Mr. J. Rounsevell, inherited a large fortune; and he has since been engaged in pastoral and commercial pursuits. He was elected member for the Burra in 1875, which district he represented continuously till the general election in 1890, when he sought the suffrages of the electors of Port Adelaide, and was returned at the head of the poll. In Dec. 1881 he was elected mayor of Glenelg. When Mr. G. S. Fowler resigned his position in Parliament through ill-health, Mr. ​Rounsevell received the portfolio of Treasurer in the Morgan Ministry on May 10th, 1881; but he only filled the office for a few weeks in consequence of the resignation of the Government on June 24th following. When the Hon. J. Colton formed his last Ministry in June 1884, Mr. Rounsevell was his Treasurer, and he retained that office until the downfall of the administration in June 1885. He was one of the two candidates for the Speakership at the opening of the Parliament elected in 1890, and received the support of the Cockburn Ministry; but he retired when it was found that there was a majority in favour of the Hon. Jenkin Coles. Mr. Rounsevell became Commissioner of Public Works on Mr. Playford's return to power in August 1890. In Jan. 1892, he became Treasurer, retiring with his colleagues in June.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Hedda Gabler

Edition of 1920. See also Hedda Gabler on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HEDDA GABLER. Ibsen, in ‘A Doll's House’ (1880) and ‘An Enemy of the People’ (1883), had preached the necessity of individualism, but, perceiving that he might be misunderstood as an upholder of self-interest in opposition to the welfare of others, he turned in ‘Rosmersholm’ (1887) and ‘Hedda Gabler’ (1891) to point the danger and futility of sheer self-assertion. Such a notion is implicit in both plays, although ‘Hedda Gabler’ seems chiefly a study of character and least of all a drama of ideas. Hedda is an unscrupulous individualist married to a dull pedant in whose rival for an academic position she finds an earlier lover. This rival is a creative scholar of infirm will who has been reformed by Hedda's school friend, Mrs. Elvsted, and inspired to compose a great work. Hedda is jealous of Mrs. Elvsted, fearful lest Lövborg secure the position for which her husband is contending, and curious to discover how far she can determine the fate of another creature. Accordingly, she exerts her malign influence to spur Lövborg into dissipation, and, when he fancies himself forever disgraced by misconduct and the loss of his precious manuscript, she provides a pistol with which he may end his life. Lövborg dies, but Hedda, who had not foreseen that the pistol would be recognized as hers, is involved in the scandal. She can escape it only by according her favors to a libertine judge, aware of all the facts in the case, and prepared to profit by his knowledge. Although Hedda is without a moral qualm, she cannot endure public shame or submission to the will of another. She therefore shoots herself with the second pistol of the pair that she had inherited from her father.
Hedda is a female Mephistopheles, without passion, instinctively and deliberately evil, yet cowardly. As heartless as Becky Sharp, she is far more corrupt. She loathes her husband with his pedestrian mind and bourgeois interests; she loathes her condition as a wife and a mother soon-to-be; and she loathes Mrs. Elvsted as the good angel of Eilert Lövborg. Her prurient curiosity, her morbid dread of scandal, her malevolent delight in burning the manuscript of Lövborg and insidiously suggesting his suicide, are essential features in this portrait of one of the most disagreeable women of all literature. The play was published in 1890, a year before its first performance in Norway, and was translated into English in 1891 by Edmund Gosse. The authoritative version is that of Gosse and William Archer.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Hecker, Friedrich Karl Franz

Edition of 1920. See also Friedrich Hecker on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HECKER, Friedrich Karl Franz, German-American soldier: b. Eichtersheim, Baden, 28 Sept. 1811; d. Saint Louis, Mo., 24 March 1881. After studying law in Heidelberg, he abandoned his profession for political life. In 1842 he was elected to the Chamber of Deputies of Baden. On the outbreak of the revolution in Germany in 1848 he endeavored to convert the preliminary convention into a permanent republican assembly. Frustrated in this attempt, he put himself at the head of a band of revolutionists, and invaded Baden from the south. He was defeated at Kändern 20 April 1848, and fled to Basel, Switzerland, where he edited a radical newspaper and published his work ‘Die Volkserhebung in Baden.’ He was refused admission to the National Assembly at Frankfort, although twice elected from Thiengen. In 1849 he removed to the United States, and became a farmer near Belleville, Ill. On the outbreak of the Civil War he raised a regiment of Germans, serving in General Frémont's division as colonel; and afterward for a time commanded a brigade. In his later years he watched with great interest the foundation of the German Empire and its phenomenal growth. He published ‘Reden und Vorlesungen’ (1872); ‘Betrachtungen über den Kirchenstreit in Deutschland und die Infallibilität’ (1874).

$^3$ And I will tell you that which no man knoweth save me and thee alone
$^4$ For many times you have desired of me to know that which would be of the most worth unto you.
$^5$ Behold, blessed are you for this thing, and for speaking my words which I have given you according to my commandments.
$^6$ And now, behold, I say unto you, that the thing which will be of the most worth unto you will be to declare repentance unto this people, that you may bring souls unto me, that you may rest with them in the kingdom of my Father. Amen.

Revelation through Joseph Smith to David Whitmer, Fayette, New York, June 1829. History of the Church 1:48-50.
$^1$ A great and marvelous work is about to come forth unto the children of men.
$^2$ Behold, I am God; give heed to my word, which is quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, to the dividing asunder of both joints and marrow; therefore give heed unto my word.
$^3$ Behold, the field is white already to harvest; therefore, whoso desireth to reap let him thrust in his sickle with his might, and reap while the day lasts, that he may treasure up for his soul everlasting salvation in the kingdom of God.
$^4$ Yea, whosoever will thrust in his sickle and reap, the same is called of God.
$^5$ Therefore, if you will ask of me you shall receive; if you will knock it shall be opened unto you.
$^6$ Seek to bring forth and establish my Zion. Keep my commandments in all things.
$^7$ And, if you keep my commandments and endure to the end you shall have eternal life, which gift is the greatest of all the gifts of God.
$^8$ And it shall come to pass, that if you shall ask the Father in my name, in faith believing, you shall receive the Holy Ghost, which giveth utterance, that you may stand as a witness of the things of which you shall both hear and see, and also that you may declare repentance unto this generation.
$^9$ Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, who created the heavens and the earth, a light which cannot be hid in darkness;
$^{10}$ Wherefore, I must bring forth the fulness of my gospel from the Gentiles unto the house of Israel.
$^{11}$ And behold, thou art David, and thou art called to assist; which thing if ye do, and are faithful, ye shall be blessed both spiritually and temporally, and great shall be your reward. Amen.
# The Doctrine and Covenants/Section 137

A vision given to Joseph Smith in the temple at Kirtland, Ohio, January 21, 1836. History of the Church 2:380-81.
$^1$ The heavens were opened upon us, and I beheld the celestial kingdom of God, and the glory thereof, whether in the body or out I cannot tell.
$^2$ I saw the transcendent beauty of the gate through which the heirs of that kingdom will enter, which was like unto circling flames of fire;
$^3$ Also the blazing throne of God, whereon was seated the Father and the Son.
$^4$ I saw the beautiful streets of that kingdom, which had the appearance of being paved with gold.
$^5$ I saw Father Adam and Abraham; and my father and my mother; my brother Alvin, that has long since slept;
$^6$ And marveled how it was that he had obtained an inheritance in that kingdom, seeing that he had departed this life before the Lord had set his hand to gather Israel the second time, and had not been baptized for the remission of sins.
$^7$ Thus came the voice of the Lord unto me, saying: All who have died without a knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it if they had been permitted to tarry, shall be heirs of the celestial kingdom of God;
$^8$ Also all that shall die henceforth without a knowledge of it, who would have received it with all their hearts, shall be heirs of that kingdom;
$^9$ For I, the Lord, will judge all men according to their works, according to the desire of their hearts.
$^{10}$ And I also beheld that all children who die before they arrive at the years of accountability are saved in the celestial kingdom of heaven.
