In the Spring of 1895 the situation in Norway was such that a complete standstill was threatened, and all sorts of extravagant plans were mooted on the Norwegian Radical Side.

This is a matter impossible to decide.
One day I received a visit from an Armenian deputation; its chief was described on his visiting-card as President of the Armenian Republic of the Caucasus.

A fairly concordant result was published in 1895 by Mr. B. M. Roszel.
