Albury, Windsor, Tangier, etc.; arc'liitt'utural drawinj^s, like Antwerp C'utliedral, Saint Georf^e's Chapel, Windsor; <onib of Edward 1'., Windsor; and other subjects, like "Trial of Archbishop l^aud." "Coronation of Charles 11.," "Engajienient with the Algerian Pirates," the "I'our Seasons." llis portraits were largely after llollx-in. and especially Van Dyck. Among the best known are those of Charles I. and his Queen after the latter, and his original engravings of the Duke of York (afterwards .lames II.), Uliver Croiiiwill, llobbes, and Lady Venetia Digby. W liile most of his work was original, he executed with equal facility engravings after the old mas- ters. Some of the best known are an "Ecce Homo," after Titian ; "Esther Before Ahasuerus," after Veronese; "Cupid Hiding a Lion." after Oiulio Romano; and especially a beautiful goblet after Jlantegna's pen drawing. There are almost complete collections of his works in the British Museum and in the library of Windsor Castle. Hollar's work unites, in a remarkable fashion, accuracy and the pictorial quality. He endeav- ored to render detail rather than character; but his technical excellence was unsurpassed in his day. His process was peculiar, being mostly done with the etching needle. Consult: The catalogue of Hollar's plates by Vertue (London, 17.")!'). and by I'arthey (Herlin, 18.').'?, supplement 18.")8). The former contains valuable biographical notices; the latter is an excellent and exhaustive treatise. HOLLAZ, h.Vljils. David (1048-171.3). A Ger- man dogmatic theologian, born in Pome- rania. He studied at Erfurt and Wittenberg; became preacher at Piitzerlin in 1070, as- sistant rector at Starg-ard in 1680. and after- wards was situated at Kolberg and at .lakobs- hagen. His great work, Examcn Theoloijicum Acroamaticiim Vitiicrsam Thcolofliam Thetico- pulcmirnm Comphctinn (1707), passed through many editions, and surpassed preceding works in clearness and simplicity rather than scientific knowledge. It may be considered the best expres- sion of Lutheran orthodoxy of the period. He is not to be confused with David HoUaz. his son, who preached at Gtinthersberg. and was the au- thor of Bcschrcibtnig drr ^Vieder(Jcburt (1737); Aniirisiinfj ztini (libit (1747) ; th^anifclische (Ina- denordnuiiq (1751), and Piltjerstrasnc nach Zion (1771). HOLLEBEN, hftl'U'ibcn, Tiieodob von (18.38 — ). . (Jiriiiaii diplomat. He was born in Stet- tin, and in 1S72 left the Hussars for the diplo- matic service. He was Minister to Argentina (187.i-8.T). Envov to .Japan (1885-01). to Wash- ington (1801-93), to Stuttgart (1893-07); and then again to Washington, where he received the rank of .Ambassador. After the failure of the German efTort to induce President Roosevelt to act as arbitrator in the Venezuelan dispute, von Hollehen resigned because of failing health. HOLLES, hfdz. Dexzil. Lord (1500 1080). An Kiii;lish statesman, born at Haughton, Notting- hamshire He was a member of Parliament for Saint Michael, Cornwall, in 1024. and five years afterwards was one of two members who forced the Speaker to keep his seat when he strove to obey Charles I. by adjourning the House before it could pass certain acts upon taxation and re- ligion obnoxious to the King. Holies was fined and imprisoned in the Tower for nearly a year, but made his escape abroad, and returned to rep- resent Dorchester in the Long Parliament ( 1040). Two years afterwards he was one of the famous five members whom King Charles tried unsuc- cessfully to arrest, and while the Civil War was in progre.-^s held Bristol for the Parliament, and raised a regiment of foot that made its mark at Edgehill and Brentford. He was most anxious to elTect a reconciliation with the King. iH-cau-se, being a leader of the Presbyterian, as opposed to the lndc])cndent Party, he feared military even more than royal supremacy. When he proposed the disbandment of the army in 1047, its leaders accused him of high treason, and he was once again ol)ligcd to seek an asylum on the Continent, and remained in France until the close of the Protectorate. Though he worked for the restora- tion of the Stuarts after his return, he was ever watchful that Charles 11. did not encroach upon the public liberties, dearer to him than thu King who had made him a peer (1001). and in whose Privy Council he sat (1070). and he exer- cised his great influence toward the disl)anding of the army lest the restored monarch should at- tempt to use it for his own ])urposes. Lord Holies was one of the commissioners of the Treaty of Breda (10C7). and wrote a number of ])olitical I)amphlcls of little present interest. HOLO-EY, AI.EXAM1ER Lyman (1832-82). An American metallurgist, born at Lakeville. Conn., where his father. ,lexander II. lloUey. later f!ov- ernor of the State, had a cutlery factory, in which the boy became an adept as a machinist.

I.; worked in the .Jersey City locomotive-works; and in 1854 became editor and partner with Zerah Colbvim of the Unilrond Ad- vocate. Four years later he and Crtlburn wrote The Permanent Tl'ai/ and Cont-Hiirninij Loeonw- tive Boilers of European Ifailiraiis, which did much to reform American railroad management. He was an editor of the New York Times and of Webster's Dietionarti : traveled in Europe in 1802, and wrote a Treatise on Ordnance and Armor (1804). In 1803 he went to England, purchased the Bessemer patents, and two years later started the Bes.semcr plant at Troy. He was closely connected with the building of steel- works at Harrisburg, North Chicago, .loliet. Pitts- burg. Saint Louis, Cambria. Bethlehem, and Scranton. and made many improvements on the old Bessemer plant. He was a trustee of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (1865-82), and in 1875 he became president of the Institute of Mining Encincers and a member of the Govern- ment board for testing structural materials.
