 , Armenia, and Khorassan, where he was made a slave but was rescued by Abbas Mirza. Undaunted, he traversed Bokhara, Balkh, and reached Kábul, emerging from Central Asia in a state of nudity after having been plundered and compelled to march six hundred miles without clothing. From Ludiána he went to Calcutta in a palanquin, preaching at a hundred and thirty stations on his way. At Simla Lady William Bentinck told him that, though she had convinced the governor-general's court that he was not mad, she could not persuade them that he was not an enthusiast; to which he replied, ‘I hope I am an enthusiast drunk with the love of God.’ After visiting Kashmir he was seized with cholera near Madras. On his recovery he went to Pondicherry in a palanquin, visited the mission in Tinnevelli, and proceeded by Goa to Bombay. He returned westward by Egypt and Malta. In 1836 he journeyed to Abyssinia, where he found at Axum Samuel Gobat, afterwards bishop of Jerusalem. He conveyed Gobat, who was very ill, to Jiddah, and then proceeded to Sana in Yemen, where he visited the Rechabites and Wahabites. After visiting Bombay he went on to the United States, where he preached before congress and received the degree of D.D. at Annapolis in Maryland. In 1837 he was ordained deacon by the bishop of New Jersey, and in 1838 priest by the bishop of Dromore. In the same year he was instituted rector of Linthwaite in Yorkshire. In 1843 he made a second journey to Bokhara in order to ascertain the fate of Lieutenant-colonel Charles Stoddart [q. v.] and of Captain [q. v.] He was sent out by a committee formed in London by Captain John Grover, which raised 500l. for his journey. His mission involved him in the gravest peril, for Stoddart and Conolly had already been executed, and their executioner was sent to despatch Wolff also. He escaped almost miraculously, and brought to England the first authentic news of the fate of the two officers. After his return, on 11 April 1845, he published in London and New York a ‘Narrative of a Mission to Bokhara to ascertain the Fate of Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly’ (2 vols. 8vo), which reached a seventh edition in 1852 (Edinburgh, 8vo). Portions of his journal were published in the ‘Athenæum’ between 1844 and 1845 during the expedition. In 1845 he was presented to the vicarage of Ile Brewers in Somerset, where he died on 2 May 1862, while contemplating a new and wider missionary journey (cf. Dr. Wolff's New Mission, 1860). He was twice married: first, on 6 Feb. 1827, to Georgiana Mary, sixth daughter of Horatio Walpole, second earl of Orford (of the second creation). By her he had a son, Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, G.C.B. (1830–1908), named after his earliest English friend. She died on 16 Jan. 1859, and on 14 May 1861 he married, secondly, Louisa Decima, youngest daughter of James King (1767–1842) of Staunton Court, Herefordshire, rector of St. Peter-le-Poer, London.

Wolff was a singular personality. At home in any kind of society in Europe or Asia, he fascinated rather than charmed by his extraordinary vitality and nervous energy. He signed himself ‘Apostle of our Lord Jesus Christ for Palestine, Persia, Bokhara, and Balkh,’ and styled himself the Protestant Xavier. Xavier, indeed, was his constant model, and he ‘lamented that he had not altogether followed that missionary in the matter of celibacy, such was the sorrow that their separation, by his frequent wanderings, brought on Lady Georgiana and himself’ (, Life of Wilson, p. 124).

Besides the work already mentioned, Wolff was the author of:
 * 1) ‘Sketch of the Life and Journal of Joseph Wolff,’ Norwich 1827, 12mo.
 * 2) ‘Missionary Journal and Memoir,’ ed. John Bayford, London, 1824, 8vo; 2nd edit. 1827–9, 3 vols. 8vo.
 * 3) ‘Journal of Joseph Wolff for 1831,’ London, 1832, 8vo.
 * 4) ‘Researches and Missionary Labours among the Jews, Mohammedans, and other Sects between 1831 and 1834,’ Malta, 1835, 8vo; 2nd edit. London, 1835, 8vo.
 * 5) ‘Journal of Joseph Wolff, containing an Account of his Missionary Labours from 1827 to 1831, and from 1835 to 1838,’ London, 1839, 8vo.
 * 6) ‘Travels and Adventures of Joseph Wolff,’ London, 1860, 2 vols. 8vo; 2nd edit. 1861; translated into German in 1863.

WOLLASTON, FRANCIS (1731–1815), author, born on 23 Nov. 1731, was the eldest son of Francis Wollaston (1694–1774) by his wife Mary (1702–1773), eldest daughter of John Francis Fauquier, and sister of [q. v.], the writer on finance. [q. v.] was his grandfather. During his earlier years he received much friendly assistance in his studies from [q. v.] (, Illustr. of Lit. Hist. i. 12). He was educated at Sidney-Sussex College, Cambridge, matriculating in June 1748, and graduating LL.B. in 1754.

" (2)(A)(i) Effective for the period beginning with the first day of the first calendar month following the date of enactment of the Dairy Production Stabilization Act of 1983 and ending on March 31, 1985, to encourage the adjustment of milk production to levels consistent with the national demand for milk and the products of milk, the Secretary shall provide for a reduction of 50 cents per hundredweight to be made in the price received on all milk produced in the United States and marketed by produc- ers for commercial use. "(ii) Effective for the period beginning with the date of enact- ment of the Dairy Production Stabilization Act of 1983 and ending on the last day of the month of enactment of such Act, the provisions of paragraphs (2) through (7) of subsection (d) of this section, as in effect on the day immediately prior to the date of enactment of the Dairy Production Stabilization Act of 1983, shall be applicable to all milk produced in the United States and marketed by producers for commercial use.

Each producer of milk in the United States seeking to enter into a contract for diversion payments under this paragraph shall, prior to entering into such contract, provide the Secretary with a plan that (i) describes the manner in which the producer intends to achieve the reduction in milk marketings that would be required under such contract, and (ii) includes an estimate by the producer of the amount of such reduction which the producer intends to achieve through increased slaughter of dairy cattle (including the approximate number of dairy cattle that will be sold for slaughter during each month of the contract). In setting the terms and conditions of such contracts, the Secretary shall take into account any adverse impact of the reductions in milk production on beef, pork, and poultry producers in the United States and shall take all feasible steps to minimize such impact. "(B) Each such contract shall require that— "(i) the producer shall reduce the quantity of milk mar- keted for commercial usc in an amount equal to a percent- age specified by the producer, but not less than 5 per centum nor more than 30 per centum, of the quantity of milk marketed by such producer for commercial usc during the marketing history period described in subparagraph (F); "(ii) any production capacity of a facility that becomes available for usc because a producer reduces milk produc- tion in order to comply with the contract shall not be used by the producer, or made available by the producer for usc by any other person, for the production of milk; "(iii) any dairy cattle that would or could have been used by the producer for the production of milk if the producer had not entered into and complied with such contract shall not have been sold, leased, or otherwise transferred to another person after November 8, 1983, except as permitted by the Secretary up to the date of enactment of the Dairy Production Stabilization Act of 1983 in order to further the purposes of this Act, or unless such cattle are sold for slaughter or sold or transferred to another producer with respect to whom there is in effect a contract entered into under this subsection, except that the Secretary may, to the extent practicable and to the extent deemed consistent with the goals of the diversion program, permit the sale of registered, purebred cattle for breeding purposes subject to such terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe based on a history of such sales by the producer or the sale or transfer of any dairy cattle if the Secretary determines that such sale or transfer does not result in adversely affecting the purpose of the program; and "(iv) the producer shall repay to the Secretary the entire payment received under this paragraph, including simple interest payable at a rate prescribed by the Secretary which shall, to the extent practicable, reflect the cost to the Corporation of its borrowings from the United States Treas- ury, commencing on the date payment is first received under this paragraph, if the producer fails to comply with such contract.

"(D) No payment may be made under subparagraph (C) to a producer with respect to— "(i) any reduction in the quantity of milk marketed by the producer for commercial usc that exceeds the lesser of 30 per centum of the aggregate quantity of milk marketed by the producer for commercial usc during the producer's marketing history period, or the sum of— "(I) the reduction in the quantity of milk marketed for commercial usc required under the provisions of the contract the producer has entered into under this para- graph, after emy adjustment by the Secretary under subparagraph (E); and "(II) 3 per centum of the quantity of milk marketed by the producer for commercial usc during such pro- ducer's marketing history period; "(ii) any reduction in the quantity of milk marketed by the producer for commercial usc if such reduction is less than the larger of 5 per centum of the aggregate quantity of milk marketed by the producer for commercial usc during the producer's marketing history period, or the difference between— "(I) the reduction in the quantity of milk marketed for commercial usc required under the provisions of the contract the producer has entered into under this para- graph, after any adjustment by the Secretary under subparagraph (E); and "(II) 3 per centum of the quantity of milk marketed by the producer for commercial usc during such pro- ducer's marketing history period; "(iii) except as provided in subparagraph (H), any reduc- tion in the quantity of milk marketed for commercial usc by a producer who, as determined by the Secretary, was not actively engaged in the production of milk for commercial usc as of the date of enactment of the Dairy Production Stabilization Act of 1983; and "(iv) any reduction in the quantity of milk marketed for commercial usc by a producer who violates any require- ment specified in this paragraph. "(E) The Secretary may, in accordance with such rules or procedures as prescribed by the Secretary, modify contracts entered into under this paragraph if the Secretary determines that, as a result of contracts entered into under this paragraph, (i) there would be an excessive reduction in the level of milk production in the United States, or (ii) there has been a substan- tial hardship to producers of beef cattle, dairy cattle, hogs, or poultry sold for slaughter. If, under the provisions of clause (ii), the Secretary should specify a reduction in marketings in any quarter that is less than the percentage specified in the con- tract, such modification shall not be so great as to require the producer to make a reduction in excess of 150 per centum of the reduction required by the contract in any succeeding quarter: Payment restrictions.

Provided, That after making any adjustments in milk marketed for commercial usc in any period of the contract, except to the extent required by the foregoing provisions of this sentence, the aggregate reduction in milk marketed for commercial usc for the entire diversion period must continue to be at least equal to the total reduction required by the contract. In the event of a modification, under clause (i) of this subparagraph, the Secre- tary may reduce the required reduction among all contracts on such basis as the Secretary determines will serve to reduce future dairy surpluses. In no event shall any reduction under this paragraph be apportioned on the basis of geographic region or area. "(F) Any producer of milk in the United States seeking to enter into a contract for diversion payments under this para- graph shall provide the Secretary with evidence of such produc- er's marketing history. The marketing history shall be the marketings of milk by such producer for commercial usc during calendar year 1982 (with production during the January through March quarter to be counted by the Secretary as corresponding to both the first and the last quarters of the fifteen-month diversion contract) or, at the option of the pro- ducer, the average marketings of milk by the producer during calendar years 1981 and 1982 (with production during the Janu- ary through March quarter of each such year to be counted by the Secretary as corresponding to both the first and last quar- ters of the fifteen-month diversion contract). The producer's marketing history may be adjusted as the Secretary determines necessary to correct for abnormally low production resulting from a natural disaster or other condition beyond the control of the producer or such other factors as the Secretary determines necessary to provide a fair and equitable marketing history. "(G) No marketing history shall be assigned to any producer who commenced marketing of milk after December 31, 1982, except as provided in subparagraph (H). "(H) A producer's marketing history established under this paragraph shall not be transferable to any other person, unless the entire milk production facility used by the producer to produce milk for commercial usc during the marketing history period and the producer's entire dairy herd were transferred by reason of the death of the producer, by reason of a gift from the producer, or to a member or members of the family of the producer. The term 'member of the family of the producer' means (i) an ancestor of the producer, (ii) the spouse of the producer, (iii) a lineal descendant of the producer, or the produc- er's spouse, or a parent of the producer, or (iv) the spouse of any such lineal descendant. "(I) Eligibility for diversion payments shall be determined on the basis of the marketing history provided for in subparagraph (F). " (J)(i) Producers eligible for diversion payments shall apply for such payments at the end of each quarter. Payment may be made to any producer who can establish that marketings of milk by such producer for commercial usc have been reduced from the level of marketings during the corresponding period of the marketing history period in an amount as specified by the Secretary for each quarter in the contract: Provided, That the aggregate quantity of such reductions for the entire diversion

Prior to approving such payment, the Secretary shall require evidence that such reduction in marketings has taken place. As part of such evidence, the producer shall certify, in a form specified by the Secretary, that such reduction is a net decrease in marketings of milk for commercial usc and has not been offset by expansion of production in other production facilities in which the producer has an interest, or by transfer of partial interest in the production facility, or by employment of such other scheme or device to qualify for payment for which such producer would otherwise not be eligible. "(ii) Payments made under this paragraph during the con- tract period shall be considered preliminary settlements for reductions in marketings. A final settlement shall be made following the end of the contract period and shall be based on the volume of marketings for the entire contract period. If, based on total marketings for the contract period, it is determined that preliminary settlements have resulted in over- payments to the producer, the Secretary shall recover such overpayments from such producer. "(K) Application for payment shall be made by producers through the county committees established under section 8(b) of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act. "(L) A producer may assign a contract entered into under this paragraph only if— "(i) the producer's interest in the entire milk production facility and the entire dairy herd used by the producer to produce milk for commercial marketings have been trans- ferred as a unit to the person to whom the assignment is to be made; "(ii) the assignee is a person to whom the producer's marketing history may be transferred under subparagraph (H); "(iii) the producer and the assignee agree in writing that the assignee shall succeed to all rights and liabilities of the producer under the contract; and "(iv) a copy of such writing is submitted to the Secretary before the transfer occurs. "(M) A contract entered into under this paragraph by a producer who by reason of death cannot perform or assign such contract may be performed or assigned, in accordance with subparagraph (L), by the estate of such producer. "(N) If the provisions for reductions in the price received for milk marketed for commercial usc as provided for in paragraph (2) are held to be invalid by any court, or the Secretary is restrained or enjoined by any court from implementing such provisions, the Secretary shall immediately suspend making any diversion payments under this paragraph for the period beginning with the date of such court action and shall resume making such payments only if such court action is overruled, stayed, or terminated. "(O) If the Secretary determines that there has been a marked deviation in the composition of milk marketed for commercial usc by a producer from that of such producer's marketings during the marketing history period, an adjustment as determined appropriate by the Secretary shall be made in Certification of reduction.

Penalties. the producer's diversion payments to reflect the composition of milk marketed during the marketing history period. "(4) Each producer who markets milk and each person required to make payment to the Corporation under this subsection shall keep such records and make such reports, in such manner, as the Secretary determines necessary to carry out this subsection. The Secretary may make such investigations as the Secretary deems necessary for the effective administration of this subsection or to determine whether any person subject to the provisons of this subsection has engaged or is engaged or is about to engage in any act or practice that constitutes or will constitute a violation of any provision of this subsection or regulation issued under this subsection. For the purpose of such investigation, the Secretary may administer oaths and affirmations, subpena witnesses, compel their attendance, take evidence, and require the produc- tion of any records that are relevant to the inquiry. Such attendance of witnesses and the production of any such records may be required from any place in the United States. In case of contumacy by, or refusal to obey a subpena to, any person, the Secretary may invoke the aid of any court of the United States within the jurisdiction of which such investigation or proceed- ing is carried on, or where such person resides or carries on business, in requiring the attendance and testimony of wit- nesses and the production of records. Such court may issue an order requiring such person to appear before the Secretary to produce records or to give testimony on the matter under investigation. Any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by such court as a contempt thereof. All process in any such case may be served in the judicial district of which such person is an inhabitant or wherever such person may be found. "(5)(A) The district courts of the United States are vested with jurisdiction specifically to enforce, and to prevent and restrain any person from violating, any provision of this subsection or any regulation issued under this subsection. Any such civil action authorized to be brought under this subsection shall be referred to the Attorney General for appropriate action. The Secretary is not required, however, to refer to the Attorney General minor violations of this subsection whenever the Secre- tary believes that the administration and enforcement of this subsection would be adequately served by suitable written notice or warning to any person committing such violation. "(B) Each person (i) as to whom there is a failure to make a reduction in the price of milk received by such person as required by paragraph (2), (ii) who fails to remit to the Corpora- tion the funds required to be collected and remitted by para- graph (2)(B), or (iii) who fails to make the reduction in market- ings required by a contract under paragraph (3) shall be liable, in addition to any amount due, to a marketing penalty at a rate equal to the support price for milk in effect at the time the failure occurs on the quantity of milk as to which the failure applies. The Secretary may reduce any such marketing penalty in such amount as the Secretary determines equitable in any case in which the Secretary determines that the failure was unintentional or without knowledge on the part of the person concerned.

 He was intended for the study of law, and entered Lincoln's Inn on 24 Nov. 1750; but, feeling some moral hesitancy in regard to an advocate's duties, he turned his mind to the church. He was ordained deacon at the age of twenty-three, and priest in the following year. About Christmas 1756 he undertook the morning preaching at St. Anne's, Soho. In the summer of 1758 he was instituted to the rectory of Dengie in Essex, on the presentation of Simon Fanshawe. In 1761 he was presented to the rectory and vicarage of East Dereham in Norfolk, and in 1769 to that of Chislehurst in Kent, resigning the vicarage of Dereham.

In 1772, when a bill was promoted in parliament to relieve the clergy and students at the universities from the necessity of subscribing to the Thirty-nine articles, and to substitute a simple declaration of their faith in the scriptures, Wollaston advocated the design in ‘An Address to the Clergy of the Church of England in particular, and to all Christians in general’ (London, 1772, 8vo), in which he proposed to apply for relief to the bishops, and through them to influence the legislature. The attempt, however, was unsuccessful, and the bill was rejected in the commons by a large majority.

On 13 April 1769 Wollaston was elected a fellow of the Royal Society; on 3 April 1777 he was appointed precentor of St. David's; and in 1779 he was appointed rector of the united London parishes of St. Vedast, Foster Lane, and St. Michael-le-Querne. He retained all his preferments until his death on 31 Oct. 1815 at the rectory, Chislehurst. On 11 May 1758 he married Althea (1739–1798), fifth daughter of John Hyde of Charterhouse Square. By her he had ten daughters and seven sons, of whom Francis John Hyde Wollaston [q. v.] and William Hyde Wollaston [q. v.] are separately noticed.

Besides the work mentioned and some sermons, Wollaston was the author of: 1. ‘The State of Subscription to the Articles and Liturgy of the Church of England,’ London, 1774, 8vo. 2. ‘Queries relating to the Book of Common Prayer, with proposed Amendments,’ London, 1774, 8vo. 3. ‘A Preface to a Specimen of a General Astronomical Catalogue,’ London, 1789, 8vo. 4. ‘Specimen of a General Astronomical Catalogue,’ London, 1789, fol. 5. ‘Directions for making an Universal Meridian Dial, capable of being set to any Latitude,’ London, 1793, 4to. 6. ‘Fasciculus Astronomicus; containing Observations of the Northern Circumpolar Region,’ London, 1800, 4to. 7. ‘A Portraiture of the Heavens as they appear to the Naked Eye,’ in ten plates, London, 1811, fol. He also published ten astronomical papers in ‘Philosophical Transactions’ between 1769 and 1793. In 1793 he privately printed a few copies of an autobiography entitled ‘The Secret History of a Private Man’ (London, 8vo), which he distributed among his friends. There is a copy in the British Museum Library. Several letters from Wollaston, chiefly to the Duke of Newcastle, are also preserved in the British Museum (Addit. MSS. 32887 f. 501, 32888 f. 198, 32892 f. 155, 32896 f. 360, 32902 f. 330).

His youngest brother, (1738–1826), divine, was born in 1738. He was educated at Charterhouse and at Sidney-Sussex College, Cambridge, graduating B.A. in 1758 as second wrangler, M.A. in 1761, and D.D. in 1774. He was chosen mathematical lecturer for Sidney-Sussex, and while at Cambridge he collaborated with John Jebb (1736–1786) [q. v.] and Thorpe in editing ‘Excerpta quædam e Newtoni Principiis’ (Cambridge, 1765, 4to). He was contemporary at the university with the poet Gray, Thomas Twining [q. v.], Richard Farmer [q. v.], and William Paley, and with the three bishops, Beilby Porteus [q. v.], Samuel Hallifax [q. v.], and Richard Watson (1737–1816) [q. v.], with all of whom he was intimate. In December 1762 he was presented to the rectory of Dengie in Essex, and in 1764 to that of Stratford in Suffolk. In March 1774 he resigned Stratford, and was collated by the archbishop, Frederick Cornwallis [q. v.], to the rectory of St. Mary Aldermary with St. Thomas the Apostle in the city of London, which he resigned in 1790. On 17 Feb. 1763 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. He died on 14 Feb. 1826 at his house, Greenside, Richmond, Surrey. On 16 June 1765 he married Elizabeth (d. 24 April 1784), eldest daughter of Charles Palmer of Thurnscoe Hall in Yorkshire. By her he had one daughter, Elizabeth Palmer, married to James Cave, vicar of Sunbury in Middlesex (Gent. Mag. 1826, i. 276).
