The following notes adapted from Wikipedia, the online free encyclopedia:

"Nathan Haskell Dole (1852-1935) was an American editor, translator, and author, born at Chelsea, Massachusetts. He attended Phillips Academy, Andover, and graduated at Harvard University in 1874. He was for some time active as a writer and journalist in Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. He translated, notably, many of the works of Tolstoi, and books of other Russians; novels of the Spaniard Valdés (1886-90); a variety of works from the French and Italian."

"Nathan Haskell Dole was born August 31, 1852 in Chelsea, Massachusetts, the second son of the Rev. Nathan and Caroline Fletcher Dole. He married Helen James Bennett, June 28, 1881, or 1883 and died May 9, 1935 at Yonkers, New York of a heart attack."

"Nathan Haskell Dole grew up in the Fletcher homestead, a strict Puritan home, in Norridgewock, Maine, where his grandmother lived and where his mother moved with her two boys after her husband, Nathan Dole, died of tuberculosis."

"[A] Boston Evening Transcript article said that Nathan was an omnivorous reader, who soon taught himself to read in French, German, Greek and Latin. He studied at the Eaton School in Norridgewock, and then under private tutors. Later he went to the Phillips Exeter Academy and Phillips Andover Academy, graduating in 1870, and then to Harvard, from which he graduated in 1874. Years later he received an L.H.Doctorate and Honorary Alumnus from Oglethorp University in Atlanta, Georgia. After college, Nathan taught at De Veaux College from 1874 to 1875, and at Worcestor High School from 1875 to 1876. From 1876 to 1878, he was preceptor at Derby Academy, in Hingham, Massachusetts. In 1881, he left teaching to work for the Philadelphia Press, where he was Musical Art and Literary Editor until 1878."

"In 1982, Nathan married Helen James Bennett. They moved to Boston, where he concentrated on writing, translating, editing and lecturing. He and his family lived in Jamaica Plain for many years, spending their summers in Ogunquit, Maine. They were popular members of the Boston social and literary set. Their home was full of both music and literature, and was well known for good conversation at the four o'clock teas which were held every afternoon.

In 1928, when he was seventy-six, they moved to New York City to be near their daughter and grandchildren and lived in Riverdale-on-Hudson.

Nathan knew such literary giants as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (who was his father's instructor in Bowdoin College), Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., William Cullen Bryant, James Russell Lowell, Charles Anderson Dana, Walt Whitman, William Dean Howells, John Greenleaf Whittier, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Edward Everett Hale, Julia Ward Howe, Louise Chandler Moulton and many others."

"Nathan was a prolific author and translator and edited many books. He translated nearly all of the Russian Count Tolstois novels. Starting in 1899, he edited Tolstoi's complete works in twenty volumes for Charles Scribner's Sons. He won world-wide recognition for his work in connection with Omar Khayyám, his multivariorum (sic) edition of which, containing carefully collated translations in English. French. German and Danish, brought him a medal from the Shah of Persia and led to his being president of the Omar Khayyam Society of America until 1919. Besides that two-volume work he edited no less than five other editions of the famous poem, including that published in the smallest book ever made."

"In addition he also translated works of Valdes, Von Scheffle, Von Koch, Daudet, Verga, Santangelo, the Baroness von Luttner and other European authors. He edited Rombaud's History of Russia in 1882, the Greek Poets in 1904, and the Latin Poets in 1905. He translated the Cavelleria Rusticana, Samson and Dalila, and other operas and hundreds of songs for music. (When I, EDP, was at Vassar, his name was often listed as the translator of the songs we sang in chapel.)"

"Nathan also lectured on Russian, French, Italian and English literature and other subjects. Nat was president of the Bibliophile Society from 1901-1902, the Omar Khayyam Club of America (President from its beginning to 1919), and was a member of the Twentieth Century Club, The New England Poetry Club, Boston, the Brookline Arts and Letters Club, the Ruskin Club, the Poetry Society of America, the Craftman Poetry Group in N.Y. (Member and Vice-President), the Dante Society in N.Y. He was also a member and advisor of the Council of the Simplified Spelling Board."


22704. Edmund Pearson Dole


Wikapedia

Edmund Pearson Dole was born February 28, 1850 in Skowhegan, Maine. His father was classical language teacher Isiah Dole (1819� 1892), and his mother was Elizabeth Todd Pearson (died 1851). Dole graduated from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut in 1874. He married Gertrude Ellen Davenport in 1878. He studied law under Charles Robinson, Jr., graduated from law school at Boston University, and was admitted to the bar at Suffolk County, Massachusetts. He practiced as a law partner of Farnum Fish Lane in Keene, New Hampshire. He served as Cheshire County Solicitor in 1880 and 1881, similar to a modern District Attorney. He wrote a book trying to explain the law profession to the public in 1887. He then moved to Seattle in 1890. In 1891 he was offered the position of dean of a new law school in Spokane.

His cousin Sanford Ballard Dole had become president of the Republic of Hawaii and wrote to him for help. By June 1895 he was practicing law in Honolulu, and acting as assistant to Henry Ernest Cooper as Attorney General of Hawaii.

Dole published a novel The Stand-By in 1897 with a hero who promoted Prohibition but was in love with the daughter of a brewer. It received praise from the Honolulu press:

Its woof of romance richly colored with incident and episode is struck into a warp of informing fact relative to one of the leading questions of the age.

The New York Times, however, saw a more political message:

...as Mr Edmund P. Dole would have it, or as it seems to be written within the lines, the Republicans are the only lawabiding people on God's earth, the only virtuous, self-respecting souls, and the Democrats— quite the opposite. There is a tinge of fanaticism, then, in Mr. Dole's Romance.

Dole replaced Cooper as attorney general on June 14, 1900. He also published his second novel Hiwa: a tale of ancient Hawaii in 1900.

Dole married Eleanor Gallagher, daughter of Bernard Gallagher of San Francisco, on September 5, 1901, and they divorced in 1902. His ex-wife then became a singer in New York.

He resigned as attorney general on February 1, 1903, to argue a case in the U.S. Supreme Court at the request of Philander C. Knox who was US Attorney General. Federal District Court Judge Morris M. Estee had overturned the conviction of Osaki Mankichi because he was never indicted by a grand jury, and was convicted by a simple majority of a jury instead of unanimously. Estee ruled the court proceeding denied the accused rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution. The case had the implication of invalidating many legal procedures during the time between July 1898 when the Newlands Resolution annexed Hawaii by the United States, and April 1900 when the Hawaiian Organic Act established a territorial government. The Supreme Court voted 5 to 4 that the continued operation of the Republic of Hawii legal system was valid during the transition period. Dole lived in Washington, DC for two years, then moved back to Seattle and practiced law again there. He died December 31, 1928 in Keene.
