# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Hogan, James Francis

Layout 2
​Hogan, James Francis, author and journalist, is a native of the south of Ireland, and was born in 1855. His parents emigrated to Victoria during his infancy. He entered the service of the Victorian Education Department at an early age; but an article on "The Coming Australian," which he contributed to the Victorian Review, attracted so much attention that it led to his engagement on the regular staff of that periodical, and he thus embarked on a literary career. Several articles of his also appeared in the Melbourne Review. In 1881 Mr. Hogan joined the staff of the Melbourne Argus, and most of his journalistic work is to be found in the columns of that paper. But he also found time to contribute a good deal of humorous pabulum to Melbourne Punch, to act as Melbourne literary correspondent of the Sydney Daily Telegraph, and to write on Roman Catholic subjects in the Melbourne Advocate. Mr. Hogan took an active part in all Irish and Catholic movements in Melbourne. He was the founder and the first president of the Victorian Catholic Young Men's Society, and the secretary of the Melbourne Daniel O'Connell Statue Fund. In 1886 he published a volume of colonial stories and sketches under the title of "An Australian Christmas Collection," consisting of a selection from his contributions to colonial periodicals. In 1887 Mr. Hogan came to London viâ America to publish a work to which he had devoted a large amount of time and research in the colonies—a history of "The Irish in Australia." It was issued towards the close of 1887, and went through three editions with remarkable rapidity. Sir Charles Gavan Duffy made it the text of a brilliant article in the Contemporary Review for Jan. 1888. Mr. Hogan's next book was "The Australian in London." This was followed by a romantic story of Australian adventure entitled "The Lost Explorer," published in 1890. Next year he published "The Convict King," a vivacious narrative of the extraordinary career of ​Jorgen Jorgenson, one of the most remarkable adventurers of the century. Of it the London Daily Telegraph wrote, "Not for many a long day has there been published so interesting a romance of real life. Mr. Hogan's book positively whets the reader's appetite. Like Oliver Twist, we ask for more about this marvellous man." He is a well-known industrious writer on colonial subjects in the Pall Mall Gazette, the Star, and the Dublin Freeman's Journal, and also contributes to Chambers' Journal.

He has devoted his spare time to literature, and in 1885 published a volume of poems entitled, "Station Hunting on the Warrego, and other Poems." For several years Mr. Holdsworth was the Honorary Secretary of the Athenaeum Club of Sydney. He also held the position of editor of the Illustrated Sydney News for a considerable time. He has besides written a "Brief History of Australia," and a large number of poems, articles, and tales for current journals and reviews. Mr. Holdsworth, who is the son of Philip Holdsworth and Kate his wife, was married in Oct. 1869 to Miss Charlotte Atkins.

​Hodgkinson, Hon. William Oswald, M.L.A., J.P., F.R.G.S., Secretary for Public Instruction, Queensland, was born at Wandsworth in 1838, and educated at Bewdley Park, Worcestershire, and Birmingham Grammar School. He went to Australia as a midshipman in the mercantile service in 1851, and remained in Australia in the position of a licence clerk at Castlemaine. In 1852 he obtained the charge of Tarnagulla goldfield, but resigned and returned to England in 1854, where he entered the War Office, London, and passed two examinations at Dean's Yard, Westminster. He returned to Victoria in 1859, and became reporter and afterwards sub-editor of the Melbourne Age, but joined the Burke and Wills exploring expedition in 1860; and was second in command of the McKinley expedition in 1861. He then settled in Queensland, where he edited several newspapers, and engaged for some time in mining. He represented the Burke district in the Legislative Assembly from 1874 to 1876. In 1875 he was appointed by the Queensland Government to head an expedition to explore the Diamentina country, and successfully accomplished that object, returning to Queensland in 1876 after an absence of sixteen months, having by his explorations on the western border of the colony, bridged the gap ​between the point where Captain Sturt was foiled for want of water in 1845, and the extreme point of Mr. Landsborough's explorations on the Herbert in 1862. He was warden and police magistrate on several goldfields from 1877 to 1884, when he was appointed Relieving Police Magistrate for Queensland, and in 1888 was again returned to Parliament for the Burke district. Mr. Hodgkinson (who is Back Gold Medallist of the Royal Geographical Society) was Secretary for Mines and Works in the first Griffith Ministry from Dec. 12th, 1887, till the Government resigned on June 13th, 1888. Mr. Hodgkinson accepted the post of Secretary for Public Instruction on Sir Samuel Griffith's return to power in August 1890.

​Holder, Hon. Frederick William, M.P., Premier and Treasurer, South Australia, is member for the Burra in the Legislative Assembly of that colony, and was Treasurer in the Cockburn Ministry from June 1889 to August 1890, when he resigned with his colleagues. Mr. Holder is the son of James Morecott Holder and Martha Breakspear (Roby) his wife. He was born at Happy Valley, S.A., on May 12th, 1850. He is a captain in the volunteer military force of South Australia, a J.P., and was twice Mayor of Burra. He has been member for the Burra since 1887. He married at Burra on March 29th, 1878, Miss Julia Maria Stephens. Having virtually been for some time leader of the Opposition to the Playford Government, he, in June 1892, moved a direct vote of want of confidence in them, which was carried on June 17th by a majority of four votes. Mr. Playford immediately resigned, and Mr. Holder was sent for, when he succeeded in forming a Government in which he himself took the position of Treasurer in addition to that of Premier.
# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Holroyd, Hon. Edward Dundas

Layout 2
​Holroyd, Hon. Edward Dundas, M.A., Puisne Judge, Victoria, second son of the late Edward Holroyd, of Wimbledon, Surrey, Senior Commissioner of the London Court of Bankruptcy, and grandson of Sir George Sowley Holroyd, the distinguished ​judge of the Court of King's Bench. He was born on Jan. 25th, 1828, and educated at Winchester School, where he entered as a commoner in 1841, and carried off in two consecutive years the Queen's gold medal for the best Latin-English prose essays. In 1846 he left Winchester and proceeded to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. as first class in classics in 1851, and took his M.A. degree in 1854. Having determined to embrace the legal profession, Mr. Justice Holroyd entered as a student at Gray's Inn in Nov. 1851, and was called to the bar in June 1855. For the next three years he practised with success, and also contributed to the press. But, having a fancy for colonial life, he decided to emigrate to Australia, arriving in Melbourne in 1859, in July of which year he was admitted to the Victorian bar, and to that of Tasmania in 1867. Judge Holroyd soon took a leading position at the Victorian bar in equity and mining cases, and in 1872 was offered the seat upon the bench rendered vacant by the retirement of the late Mr. Justice Williams. This, however, he declined, and continued to practise at the Equity Bar with constantly increasing success, being made Q.C. in 1879. In August 1881 he decided to accept the judgeship rendered vacant by the death of Mr. Wilberforce Stephen, and still retains his seat upon the Supreme Court bench of Victoria. Mr. Justice Holroyd married at Melbourne, in 1862, Anna Maria Hoyles, daughter of the late Henry Compton, of Totnes, Devon, and granddaughter of the Rev. T. Compton, sometime vicar of Paignton in that county.

# The Ethics of the Dust/Preface

PREFACE.
The following lectures were really given, in substance, at a girls' school (far in the country); which, in the course of various experiments on the possibility of introducing some better practice of drawing into the modern scheme of female education, I visited frequently enough to enable the children to regard me as a friend. The Lectures always fell more or less into the form of fragmentary answers to questions; and they are allowed to retain that form, as, on the whole, likely to be more interesting than the symmetries of a continuous treatise. Many children (for the school was large) took part, at different times, in the conversations; but I have endeavored, without confusedly multiplying the number of imaginary speakers, to represent, as far as I could, the general tone of comment and inquiry among young people.
[Footnote: I do not mean, in saying "imaginary," that I have not permitted to myself, in several instances, the affectionate discourtesy of some reminiscence of personal character; for which I must hope to be forgiven by my old pupils and their friends, as I could not otherwise have written the book at all. But only two sentences in all the dialogues, and the anecdote of "Dotty," are literally "historical."]
It will be at once seen that these Lectures were not intended for an introduction to mineralogy. Their purpose was merely to awaken in the minds of young girls, who were ready to work earnestly and systematically, a vital interest in the subject of their study. No science can be learned in play; but it is often possible, in play, to bring good fruit out of past labor, or show sufficient reasons for the labor of the future.
The narrowness of this aim does not, indeed, justify the absence of all reference to many important principles of structure, and many of the most interesting orders of minerals; but I felt it impossible to go far into detail without illustrations; and if readers find this book useful, I may, perhaps, endeavor to supplement it by illustrated notes of the more interesting phenomena in separate groups of familiar minerals;--flints of the chalk;--agates of the basalts;--and the fantastic and exquisitely beautiful varieties of the vein-ores of the two commonest metals, lead and iron. But I have always found that the less we speak of our intentions, the more chance there is of our realizing them; and this poor little book will sufficiently have done its work, for the present, if it engages any of its young readers in study which may enable them to despise it for its shortcomings.

# The Ethics of the Dust/Note

NOTE TO SECOND EDITION
Sentence out of letter from May (who is staying with Isabel just now at Cassel), dated 15th June, 1877:--
"I am reading the Ethics with a nice Irish girl who is staying here, and she's just as puzzled as I've always been about the fireflies, and we both want to know so much.--Please be a very nice old Lecturer, and tell us, won't you?"
Well, May, you never were a vain girl; so could scarcely guess that I meant them for the light, unpursued vanities, which yet blind us, confused among the stars. One evening, as I came late into Siena, the fireflies were flying high on a stormy sirocco wind,--the stars themselves no brighter, and all their host seeming, at moments, to fade as the insects faded.

# The Ethics of the Dust/Preface to the Second Edition

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.
I have seldom been more disappointed by the result of my best pains given to any of my books, than by the earnest request of my publisher, after the opinion of the public had been taken on the "Ethics of the Dust," that I would "write no more in dialogue!" However, I bowed to public judgment in this matter at once (knowing also my inventive powers to be of the feeblest); but in reprinting the book (at the prevailing request of my kind friend, Mr. Henry Willett), I would pray the readers whom it may at first offend by its disconnected method, to examine, nevertheless, with care, the passages in which the principal speaker sums the conclusions of any dialogue: for these summaries were written as introductions, for young people, to all that I have said on the same matters in my larger books; and, on re-reading them, they satisfy me better, and seem to me calculated to be more generally useful, than anything else I have done of the kind.

SCHERER, shā-rār, Edmond (Henri Adolphe), French critic: b. Paris, 8 April 1815; d. Versailles, 16 March 1889. He studied at the law faculty of Paris, took a course in theology at Strassburg, entered the Protestant ministry in 1840 and in 1845 became professor of exegesis in the Ecole Evangelique, Geneva, popularly known as L'Oratoire. This he resigned in 1849 and became a leader in the liberal movement in Protestant theology. He was elected to the National Assembly from Seine-et-Oise in 1871 and became life-senator in 1875. In both chambers he was a prominent representative of the left centre. He was made chief literary critic of the Temps in 1860, later its editor. He took rank as a brilliant though opinionated critic, his reputation in this field having been made by a series of articles on important thinkers and writers of other literatures in the Revue des Deux Mondes. Among his writings in book form are ‘Dogmatique de l'Eglise Réformé’ (1843); ‘La Critique et la Foi’ (1850); ‘Alexandre Vinet, sa vie et ses écrits’ (1853); ‘Etudes Critiques sur la Littérature Contemporaine’ (1863-89); ‘Diderot’ (1880), and the posthumous ‘Etudes sur la Littérature au XVIIIe Siècle’ (1891).

SCHENCK, Robert Cumming, American diplomat: b. Franklin, Ohio, 7 Oct. 1809; d. Washington, D. C, 23 March 1890. He was graduated at Miami University in 1827, and remained there as tutor until 1830. In that year he became a student of law in the office of the Hon. Thomas Corwin at Lebanon, Ohio, and was admitted to the bar in 1831. He began the practice of law at Dayton, Ohio, and soon achieved marked success in his profession. In 1840, during President Harrison's “Log Cabin” campaign, he was elected to the legislature of Ohio, and entered upon his political career. He soon became a leader in the Whig party, and was recognized throughout his section as an able and effective public speaker. In 1843, after an exciting political contest, he was elected to his first term in Congress, retaining his seat until 1851, and becoming one of the most prominent leaders of his party at Washington. In 1851 he was appointed United States Minister to Brazil, where he remained some years, and performed important diplomatic service.
When the Civil War began he promptly offered his services to the government, and received a commission of brigadier-general of volunteers. He was severely wounded at the second battle of Bull Run, and his right hand and arm permanently disabled. He was later promoted to the rank of major-general, and served in the army until December 1863, when he resigned his commission to accept a seat in Congress, to which he had been elected in the fall of 1862 over Clement L. Vallandigham (q.v.). General Schenck's military and political abilities were at once recognized and he was appointed chairman of the Military Committee of the House and rendered important and
arduous services. He was three times elected to Congress. He served as chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means and became the leader of his party in the House. On 22 Dec. 1870 he was appointed Minister to Great Britain by President Grant, a position which he filled with distinction until 1876. During this term of service he was appointed member of the historic Joint High Commission which assembled at Washington, and provided by treaty for the Geneva Conference, a measure that resulted in substituting arbitration instead of war in the settlement of the serious controversies that had arisen between Great Britain and the United States, regarding the Alabama claims and other important subjects. His tact and force, and his knowledge of international law, were most useful in determining the great questions involved.
