  • Madame Schumann-Heink: a Legend in Her Time
    MADAME SCHUMANN-HEINK: A LEGEND IN HER TIME by Richard W. Amero Madame Ernestine Schumann-Heink's life had the before-and-after quality of a fairy story. Born in poverty, she became rich. Considered plain and plump in appearance, on stage she was regal and impressive. When she began singing in public, at age 15, no one thought she would become a professional singer. When she moved to San Diego, at age 48, music critics in Europe and the United States hailed her as "the world's outstanding contralto." Her parents called her "Tini" and her friends in Germany "Topsy," in reference to her physical size. Her children knew her by the intimate name "Nona." Composer Richard Strauss referred to her by the impersonal "the Heink," while impresario Maurice Grau addressed her by the friendlier name of "Heinke." Those who knew her on the stage or by reputation called her "Mother" or "Madame," reflecting the respect she inspired. Born Ernestine Roessler at Lieben, near Prague (then part of Austria), June 15, 1861, her mother was Italian-born Charlotte (Goldman) Roessler and her father Hans Roessler, a cavalry lieutenant in the Austrian army. She got her aggressiveness and stubbornness from her father, whom she described as "a real old roughneck." Her softer qualities and appreciation for art came from her mother, who taught her to sing "When I was three," she recalled, "I already sang. I sang what my mother sang. I'd put my mother's apron around me and start to act and sing." Ernestine became acquainted with Leah Kohn, her Jewish grandmother on her mother's side, when she was five years old.

Compiled by the U.S. Department of State, with the full cooperation of the foreign missions in Washington, it is offered as a convenience to organizations and persons who must deal with consular representatives of foreign governments. It has been designed with particular attention to the requirements of government agencies, state tax officials, international trade organizations, chambers of commerce, and judicial authorities who have a continuing need for handy access to this type of information. Trade with other regions of the world has become an increasingly vital element in the economy of the United States. The machinery of this essential commerce is complicated by numerous restrictions, license requirements, quotas, and other measures adopted by the individual countries. Since the regulations affecting both trade and travel are the particular province of the consular service of the nations involved, reliable information as to entrance requirements, consignment of goods, details of transshipment, and, in many instances, suggestions as to consumer needs and preferences may be obtained at the foreign consular offices throughout the United States.

  • A Rediscovered Life: a Selective Annotated Edition of the Letters of Caroline Elizabeth Norton, 1828–1877
    A REDISCOVERED LIFE: A SELECTIVE ANNOTATED EDITION OF THE LETTERS OF CAROLINE ELIZABETH NORTON, 1828–1877 ROSS BELSON A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts and Cultural Industries, University of the West of England, Bristol July 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis is a selective and annotated edition of 157 of the 2200 extant letters by Caroline Elizabeth Norton currently known to be available in both the public and private domain, which have been collected and transcribed for the project. The selection includes both the first extant letter, dated 28 July [1828] and the last, written on 10 June 1877, five days before Caroline Norton’s death. Norton’s letters to Lord Melbourne already published in an annotated edition (see Bibliography) have not been included in the selection. The letters are grouped chronologically into five sections, each representing approximately a decade of the author’s life. Each section concludes a chapter of commentaries outlining the key historical and political events of each period and providing a thematic analysis of how the letters, including the residual 92% of correspondence not selected for the edition, comment on aspects of Caroline Norton’s life, beliefs, work, family, relationships and society. In particular, the discussion will focus on how the letters challenge existing notions in these areas and reflect on comparably under-investigated or almost entirely non-researched biographical topics, such as Norton’s views on literature and other writers, her health, and the nature of her relationships with her family, particularly her son Brinsley, and other key individuals in her life, such as Mary Shelley, Edward Trelawny, Lord Melbourne and Sidney Herbert.

  • The Fox Genealogy by Daniel G
    THE FOX GENEALOGY INCLUDING THE METHERD, BENNER AND LEITER DESCENDANTS GIVING BIOGRAPHIES OF THE FIRST AND SECOND GENERATIONS WITH SKETCHES OF THE THIRD GENERATION COMPILED BY D. G. FOX 1914 PUBLISHED 1924 PREFACE AND EXPLANATORY ________ After four years of research, and personal inspections of the records of Montgomery and Warren counties, Ohio; of the records of Berks county, Pennsylvania; of the records of Baltimore, Frederick, Washington and Allegheny counties, Maryland, of the records of Jefferson county, West Virginia; information obtained from the several histories of Montgomery and Warren counties, Ohio; and the several histories of Berks county, Pennsylvania, also the Archives of that State; from the publication of names of thirty thousand immigrants; from Scharf's History of Maryland; from certified copies of the military records of Ohio, and from many other publications and from ancient manuscripts; a personal search of twenty-one cemeteries and graveyards, and from personal interviews and correspondence with people who were able to give reliable information. Based on the afore-written authority I compile this work. I find that John Frederick Fox is the first of our strain of whom there is record in this country, his children constitute the first generation. Beginning with Frederick Fox, he being the first generation, I find that there are seven generations of the name, while in other branches of the descendants I find that eight generations exist. The writer has, in compiling this work, placed an Arabic figure following the name of each lineal descendant, and a corresponding Roman number following the name of each who have married such lineal descendant.
