JACOBSEN, JENS PETER (1847-1885) , Danish imaginative writer, was born at Thisted in Jutland, on the 7th of April 1847; he was the eldest of the five children of a prosperous merchant. He became a student at the university of Copenhagen in 1868. As a boy he showed a remarkable turn for science, particularly for botany. In 187o, although he was secretly writing verses already, Jacobsen definitely adopted botany as a profession. He was sent by a scientific

Among the modern Jacobite, or legitimist, societies perhaps the most important is the " Order of the White Rose," which has a branch in Canada and the United States. The order holds that sovereign authority is of divine sanction, and that the execution of Charles I. and the revolution of 1688 were national crimes; it exists to study the history of the Stuarts, to oppose all democratic tendencies, and in general to maintain the theory that kingship is independent of all parliamentary authority and popular approval. The order, which was instituted in 1886, was responsible for the Stuart exhibition of 1889, and has a newspaper, the Royalist. Among other societies with similar objects in view are the " Thames Valley Legitimist Club " and the " Legitimist Jacobite League of Great Britain and Ireland."
