Ik sending forth a ue\r impression, the Editor takes the opportunity of thanking his critics for their indulgent notices of his undertaking and for their vahied suggestions for its im- provement. Eri'ors and omissions more or less important of course they have not failed to detect and point out, while the Editor himself has been far from idle in searching out others ; the general result to the advantage of the Second Edition being the correction of not a few erroneous dates, a greater fulness ascertained for several others, designations occasionally amended, a few names omitted, above five hundred fiesh ones added, and many new biographical sources referred to, especially under such leading names as Shakespeare, Milton, Dante, Luther, Bacon, Goethe, all whose biographers have been rearranged by a valued friend to whom the Author has been frequently in- debted in the course of these labours. The dates of the Biblical names (which have been considerably augmented) are those given in the margins of the Authorized English Version ; and in regard to them the reader will be pleased to remember that chronologists are not agreed in their systems of computation, though it has not been thought necessary to obtrude this fact upon the eye by a perpetual asterisk. Here also a remark may be made, which was omitted in the First Edition, with regard to the members of the nobility, in entering whom a strict uni- formity has not been observed ; inasmuch as they appear in some instances only, and not in all, twice in the alphabet, namely by their families as well as by their titles. But it should be borne in mind that a name often becomes distin- guished, historical, and familiar, before its bearer loses it (as some seem not unwilling to do) in the retiring honour of a peerage, — of which Sir Robert Walpole, Earl of Orford, is an example. Besides which, there are a few cases in which it is 11 89SS vi PREFACE. of interest to have a complete series of a partictilar house that has borue a title appearing in history with various other surnames. It is with a little diffidence that the Editor presumes, in the interest of his (jwn and biographical compilations in general, to oiler a suggestion to the respected conductors of the PericWical Press. A reader of a literary journal meets perhaps, now and then, with a paragraph beginning, "We are sorry to observe this week — or this month — the decease of," &c., but the exact da}' of death is not mentioned, and i1?-is not in the plan of the journal to give any obituary talde for reference. Would it bo too much for the Editor to remind his conteinporaries (avIio how- ever are l)y no n^eans here said in general to neglect precision) that while many persons read those articles with only a passing attention, others both in the present and in the future, with various objects in view, refer and will refer to them as autho- rities for the very day ? Addressing, again, a wider circle, he would beg leave to suggest to friends of deceased persons, espe- cially if the latter are at all celebrated or their names likely to become incorporated with the literature of their country, that if in drawing up obituary notices they would inform the world of the birth in exact terms ])y mentioning the ^-ear and day, mstead of in the customary but vague phrase, "aged so and so," or "in such a year of his age," they would preserve the names they are personally interested in from much future error and discrepancy. But Avhile the pen is running upon desiderata, it may venture perhaps upon one other ground. When searching for the dates of persons of rather recent times, the inquirer is accustomed to \isit the many rows of the Annual Register and the Ocntl email's Magazine. These two patriarchs of our existing periodical literature preserve information of the kind now under notice as fully as any newspaper obituary, the names being • frequently accompanied with biographical notices. There is thus formed for reference a detailed necrology, which is not the less valuable for being somewhat promiscuous, inasmuch as indi- viduals are thus not excluded Avho acquire only a posthumous fiime, and in numerous instances dates have been jirocured by the Editor from these sources that could be found nowhere else. The Annual Register since the year 1836 has this advantage, that the index to each volume has under the word " Deaths" an alphabetical list of the entire year's obituary, with reference for PREFACE. . vii details to the body of the work. The Gentlenmn's Magazine is also of course indexed — so far as regards the separate volumes, for the " General Indexes " are now nearly fifty years in arrear — but hardly perhaps so fully or so conA^eniently as its compeer ; that is to say, for biogi-a2:'hical purposes, which alone the present remarks have in view. With a long list of names therefore in his hand, and numerous volumes to be manipulated, it will readily be understood why the first resort of the searcher should bo to the Annual Register for years subsequent to 1836, But un- happily for such inquiries, this teeming obituary, 'u^th its admii-able index, disappears with the year 1863, the introduction of a few memoirs of distinguished persons taking its place. It is regret for this loss which introduced these remarks, and, if he might, the Editor would offer them as a hint to the conductors of that valuable work. There still remains, however, for the biographical explorer the Gentleman'' s Magazine, which it is hoped will not follow the example of curtailing its stores ; but eventually may rather resume those collective indexes wliich from 1731 to 1818 were so carefully and so usefully provided. In conclusion the Editor returns his cordial thanks to nume- rous correspondents, friends and strangers, who have responded to the invitation contained in the First Preface, and begs the favour of their continued communications, that this little book, in which they are pleased to express so kind an interest, may go on impro\dng with its days. Shan^klin, I.W. Fehruary 5, 1866. PEEFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. The principal object of this work is to afford ready informa- tion of the births and deaths of deceased persons, more or less noteworthy, of all countries and periods. Biographical Dic- tionaries on the ordinary plan, besides being more and more voluminous in proportion to their value, and consequently more cumbrous to consiilt for a passing occasion, fall necessarily and TiU PREFACE. rapidly into chronological arrears ; while a less pretending book like the present, by allowing usually no more than a line to a single name, containing, therefore, many more entries than even some bulky quartos of biographical matter, and so being for the mere purpose of the above-named dates more serviceable than they, stands also from its size a gi-eater chance of frequent re- prints, and keeping its information level with the times. This is the claim it ventures to put forth to the notice and favour of the public. It hopes to lie upon the desk, an unobtiiisive com- panion of other books of many sorts, to give a reader its rapid answer whenever he is temjited to pause at a name and ask no more than — "AMien did he live ? " In explanation of the contents, it will be necessaiy to preface a few brief remarks. The additions, for instance, that will be found attached to the names, are not to be understood as in- tended vainly to furnish any condensed biographical infonuation, nor always to indicate the person's title to a place in a bio- graphical list, but chiefly for identif)ang the individual ; which will be felt a matter of some utility when it is remembered how frequently talents of the same description run in families, and how successive generations of the same name — on the Continent especially — appear as Painters, Engravers, Printers, and Scholars. Again, to avoid confusion and secure a more complete distinc- tion of the greater personages, others bearing the same surnames are frequently added, and this is the apology for the appearance of some that might be considered in themselves too obscure to deserve insertion. The italics within brackets in all cases indi- cate some production of the pen, or some work of art ; and these, too, are for assisting in the identification, rather than for marking the special claim to distinction ; for in innumerable instances of prolific genius, it would be quite impossible to select any single production as a c1icf-cV(euvre, though frequently it will be found that the work quoted is one upon which a repu- tation rests. The italics without brackets are confined to a second, or an assumed, or an original name, or perhaps a soubri- quet by which, in occasional instances, a person is best known. A figure that is not of established certainty is marked with an asterisk. In cases where an individual has had a separate biographer, this is indicated by the letter L., or the word Life. At the close of bis undertaking the compiler has become abundantly aware, from experience, of the truth of a common PREFACE. ix remark, that there is nothing so liable to error and corruption as that most happy invention of figures ; and he believes it will not prove unsuitable or useless to make a few observations on this subject. A general reader -wishing to know the time of a birth or a death, can turn, say, to the biographical compendiums — small, compact, single volumes, extending to a very recent period — which an ordinary household may probably be supplied with, or to a cyclopaedia of many quartos or large octavos on the shelves of a more ambitious library, anrl if he finds his date in any one of these he is probably content, and asks no further. But if, requiring greater exactness, or being suspicious and desirous of corroboration, he should take an opportunity of consulting several, he is then but too likely to become aware of unwelcome discrepancies. The professional man of letters, who has access to the largest and best works of the class, such as the Bio- graphie UiiiverseUe, the NouvcJle Biographic Generalc, or the Biographia Britannica, is of course better off, but even he does not escape his disappointments so often as might be imagined. And what is the more perplexing, and, in tiaith, not a little irritating, the dates are given with all the air of absolute certainty, so far as silence conveys this, only the very first-class books — and not always these — informing the reader that there are other dates assigned, or that some current figures have been proved -^Tong, and gi^ving any hint that pains have been taken to sift discrepancies. The plan of this volume does not admit of a variation of dates being discussed or even stated, and only allows an esta- blished uncertainty to be intimated by an asterisk. But the author is reluctantly obliged to admit that if any one of the following pages were taken at random and examined with half a dozen of the usually accredited authorities, discrepant figures would be found amongst them for, perhaps, on an average, every fourth or fifth name ; while even when no absolute confiict presents itself, one of the dates, the birth for instance or the death, is entirely omitted, and some works not even professing to give any nearer information than the year, seldom men- tion the day. This estimate of the degree of faultiness in our current information is certainly within the mark, as the compiler's memoranda of the variations he has observed, in figures alone, to say nothing of errors in spelling, too amply testify, and it is a discovery not a little disheartening to those X PREFACE. who have ever made it, whose studies lead them to take an interest in tliis class of dates. Hajipily, however, the uncertainty in nativities and oLituaries here implied need not be acquiesced in as a finality in every instance. Things are not so bad as they look. A very brief ]iractical ac(|uaintance with the current statements shows ns that a larp;e crop of errors is due to the culpability of the mure recent copyists and editors, and that, with patience and sutiicient com])arison, the true figures are, in a considerable numlier of instances, not beyond recovery. By paying attention til the various errors corrected in carrying a work like the ]>resent through the press, one has an opportunity of beaoming aware of the kinds of mistakes which compositors on the one hand are more particularly liable to, as well as those for which an eilitor on the other hand has himself solely to blame ; and as this may sometimes aid in accounting for discrepancies a few illustrations will perhaps be acceptalde. For instance, the figures 8, 3, 5, frequently get put in each other's places, owing probably to a rough resemblance among tliem, especially in indistinc^t manuscript ; and not only in manuscript, for any one wlio has had to consult the new edition ol' the Biorjrapliic UnivcrscUc, must often have regretted thnt the type there used makes the 5 and 3 so nearly alike as to require a close scrutiny to detect the difference. Examples occurring in the preparation of the present work of 6 in the copy apjiearing as 9 in the proof, and instances in other works of these two figures being interchanged, make it tolerably evident that they sometimes get inverted hy the printer, either in sorting the types or in the act of composition. Imperfect formations in the copy have also, it would appear, caused 6 and 9 both to be replaced by 0. Cases of 6 for have been remarked in correcting tliese sheets, and in the Biographic Univcrsclle, John Hubner appears as born in 1608 for 1668. The figures 1 and 7 have also been interchanged. A very common error is when a date contains the same figure repeated consecutively, and the wrong duplicate gets into the copy by a natural trick of the eye of a rapid worker, especially when the difference in the value of the two figures exchanged is not so glaringlv large ; thus, 1779 becoming 1799 and vi^e vcrsd, 1G69 for 1699, 1445 for 1455. In the proof sheets of this work, 1755 of the copy once became 1775. But 1449 for 1499, or 1228 for 1288, would be more seldom found ; though, the PREFACE. xi Biorfraphie Univcrselle has it that St. Oswahl died 922 instead of 992. The culprit years, however, which most frequently sin in this way are 1668 and 1688. Perhaps the similarity of sound may have produced some errors, as for instance, when Gaspar Bartholin was horn July 13 according to one, and July 30 according to another. Two certain instances of this mistake, and both ^vith the same pair of numbers, have been noticed in these proofs, where Oct. 13 appeared instead of Oct. 30, and 1530* for 1513*. In the days of the month, one of the figures is occasionally omitted, as when 2 stands for 12 and 3 for 30. The days of tlie month also get inverted, as when the death of EUer de Brookhusen appears in the Biographie UiiiverseUe to have occurred Sept. 31, and in the NouvelU Biographie Gtiierale, Sept. 13, One frequently finds the months Jan. and June put for each other, and in the French Dictionaries March and May (Mars and !Mai), as also April and August (Avril and Aout). Thus Lewis Anthony de Bougainville is said, in the Nouvdle Biographie, Genirale to have died April 31, an error which betrays itself, and we expect to fijid other authorities giving Aug. 31, which in fact they do. But the editor cannot forbear remarking more at length upon an error arising not so much from accident and inadvertence as from a want of thought, and a false principle of calculation to which the mind is likely enough to become habituated. Thus a composer of a biographical notice, finding it announced that a person died in 1850, aged 50, and wishing to put the fact in another shape, states that he was "born in 1800 and died in 1850 ;" whereas from the loose way in which that phrase, "aged so and so," often occurs, this 1800 is not at all certain. To give actual instances. The Annual Register records that Richard Ford was born 1796 and died Sept. 1, 1858, aged 61 ; but had we calculated the birth from the death and age, by subtracting 61 from 1858, we should have fixed on 1797, which would have been wrong. The same work savs of the Earl of Eipon— born 1782, died Jan. 28, 1859, aged 76 ; but 1859 minus 76 is 1783, Even if the "years" of a person's age always meant completed years, this method of arriving at the birth would be uncertain : for a person born either in Dec. 1799 or Jan. 1800, and dying in Feb. 1850, would just the same be said to be "aged 50." But some- times it is stated that a person is "aged 50" when he is more properly ^vithin a month or so of reaching that xii PREFACE. number of years. Thus the Obituary of the British Almanac says that Walter Savage Laudor "died Sep. 17, 1864, aged 90;" but if Ave were to infer his birth to have been in 1864 — 90, or 1774, we should err, as he was ac- tually born in Jan. 1775, and wanted as much as three or four months of being "aged 90." In fact, a person who "died in 1850, aged 50," and no month stated, may have been born in 1799, 1800, or 1801. When, therefore, the Biographia Bri- tannica states that Henry Hurton "was 67 years of age in 1646, consequently he must have been born in 1579," the in- ference is not to be tnisted ; and similarly, when the Bio- graphical Dictionary of the English Cyclo'pcedia makes a like calculation of the births of Melchizedec Thevenot and Spinello Aretino. It may also be remarked that from this process of backward reckoning we may suspect to have arisen a frequent discrepancy of 10 years in the birth, as though there had been an error of 1 in performing the subtraction sum. Other discrepancies arise from causes less culpable ; as when a person dies in the night, the hour not being stated, or is found dead in the morning, the hour of decease not being known, and one account makes the occurrence to have hap- pened the day before and another the day after. Thus, VArt (le Verifier hs Dates states the Emperor Lothaire II. to have died in tl»e night between Dec. 3 and 4, explaining why in the two great French Dictionaries we find Dec. 3 and Dec. 4 respec- tively. "When a person dies abroad, especially in circumstances of turmoil and excitement, reports of the event are likely enough to vary. This may possibly explain how it occurs that no less than four dates are assigned for the death of so eminent and so recent a man as Sir Henry Havelock ; Maunder giving Kov. 21, the Book of Dates and the Nouvcllc Biographic Generalc Nov. 25, the British Almanac Nov. 27 ; wliile the Life of the hero by ]\Iarshman his brother-in-law, as well as the Annual Register, gives Nov. 24, Avhich may be pre- sumed to be the correct day. One would have thought that the very hour and day of the execution of Robespierre would have been well remarked : nevertheless we find in Chalmers that he died July 10 ; Rccs' Cyelopa'dia gives July 28 ; Lempriere and Rose, July 28, 4 p.m. ; and Alison in hisy/2'5tor?/ July 29, 4 a.m. Discrepancies are also due to the change of the style, an in- novation not effected without some unnecessary complication. For when in 1582 the 10 superfluous days were proposed by the PREFACE. xiii Pope to be omitted from the Calendar, the various countries un- fortunately were not unanimous in adopting the improvement : Spain, Portugal, and a part of Italy accepting the alteration on the same day ; France following the example two months later ; but England holding out for no less than 170 years, when in 1752 she omitted 11 days (as the 10 had become since 1700), and reckoned Sep. 3 as Sep. 14 ; dui'ing which period, there- fore, our chronology and that of other countries differ by 10 or 11 days, and the historian, having to date any transaction afiecting ourselves and them, is obliged to mention two days at once, as Xov. -f^, 1688, or Sep. ^, 1715. One important countiT, Pvussia, to this day retains the old style, which is no longer 10 days, or 11, but 12 in advance. Russian dates, consequently, will often differ by 12 days, and other conti- nental dates by 10 or 11, from those accepted by us ; the ambiguity not being always apparent, owing to their having been recorded originally not with the double notation for his- torical purposes, but in the current style of the country as referring to purely domestic and internal events. But the change of style, as far as England was concerned, embraced yet another peculiarity which has to be observed. For whereas up to the period of that change the civil year began on Mar. 25, and the period between Jan. 1 and Mar. 25 was reckoned to the old year, it was then ordered by Act of Parlia- ment that this practice should be discontinued and the year in all cases commence with Jan. 1. But according to the old practice the dates within that interval of Jan. 1 and Mar. 25 would express both years, and thus what we now write Feb. 4, 1726, used inconveniently to be written Feb, 4, 1725-6 ; for want of attention to which fact the year would be copied as 1725 by one and as 1726 by another. Hence it happens that while tiie change of style may be the parent of an error of 10 or 11 days, or 12, between England and a foreign country, it may also occasionally have produced an error of one year in purely domestic dates, which is to be suspected when the day belongs to the interval between Jan. 1 and Mar. 25. In this volume the new style is always used. An error in the letters of a word is generally obvious and can be rectified by any one, while an error in the figure of a date is far otherwise, and even M'hen obvious seldom pronounces or suggests its own correction. Hence so many vexatious dis- crepancies, and we are startled at finding the most notorious xiv PREFACE. events of but yesterday wrongly dated. It is only a matter of industry and conscientious care to weed out errors of no longer standing tlian this ; but dates of early and mediaival times, that come down to us with discrepancies all the way, must stand far less chance, and here we must often rest satisfied with approxi- mations. But even in some of these an additional light has occasionally been discovered, as in the case of Holbein's death, wliich within the last few years has been proved in the Arch^40; Remusat, 1845; Jacobi, 1850; Tosti, 1851. . . . 1C79— Apr. 21, 1142 Abell, John.
