# Edward Donner

Sir Edward Donner, 1st Baronet (2 August 1840 – 29 December 1934), was a British banker, philanthropist and supporter of Liberal causes.

## Biography

Donner was the eldest son of Edward Sedgfield Donner, a solicitor, of Scarborough, Yorkshire, and his wife, Elizabeth. He was educated at the Royal Institution School in Liverpool and at Corpus Christi College, Oxford.
Donner was head of the shipping firm of Chamberlin, Donner & Co. and from 1904 chairman of the Manchester and Liverpool District Banking Society. He was one of the founders of the Manchester High School for Girls in 1874 and was a governor of the Victoria University of Manchester and of the Manchester Grammar School. He resided at Oak Mount, Fallowfield, and his firm's offices were in Aytoun Street, Manchester. Towards the end of his life he was known as the Grand Old Man of Manchester.
In the late 1870s he organised an appeal for funds for the high school and in 1877 a new constitution was adopted which made the school a joint stock company instead of a voluntary association. Before this change Donner was personally responsible for the school finances and legally liable in case of a lawsuit. He was Lord of the Manor of Cayton.
He donated the Ashfield estate, now part of Platt Fields Park in Rusholme and Fallowfield, to the city of Manchester. Among his other benefactions were donations to the University, particularly to its Physical Laboratory, to the Manchester Grammar School, to the High School for Girls, where he was a governor for 61 years, from 1874 to 1934. It was said of him in 1892 that "the school [MHSG] owes more to him than to any living man", and on another occasion "he was incapable by temperament of anything but moderation and courtesy, whether on the platform or in private life, [and] he did much to sweeten and elevate the public life of the city".
Donner was also one of the leading supporters of the Liberal Party in Manchester. He entertained Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman on the prime minister's visit to the city in 1907 and was created a baronet, of Oak Mount in the City of Manchester, later that year. In 1908 he was chairman of Winston Churchill's election campaign for Manchester North West (Churchill was defeated by William Joynson-Hicks).
Donner married Anna Maria Cunningham, elder daughter of William Cunningham, a banker, of Manchester, in 1866. Anna Maria, Lady Donner, was awarded the DBE for her work in organising the Fairview Auxiliary Hospital, Fallowfield. The couple had no children. Sir Edward Donner died in 1934, aged 94 and the title became extinct for lack of heirs.
# Edward Elwes

The Ven Edward Leighton Elwes, MA was an eminent Anglican priest in the first third of the 20th century.
He was born on 8 October and educated at Eton and University College, Oxford. He was ordained in 1873 and was Curate of Ashington, Somerset and then Norton St Philip. He was then Chaplain and Vice Principal of Wells Theological College. After a further curacy at Dinder he became Vicar of Over Stowey. He was Rector of Woolbeding from 1895 until 1923 and Rural Dean of the surrounding area from 1896. He was Archdeacon of Chichester from 1903 to 1914 and Chancellor of Chichester Cathedral from then until his death on 30 May 1930.
His second daughter, born in 1895, was the singer Joan Elwes.
# Andreas Paraschos

Andreas Paraschos (born April 1958) is a Cypriot journalist known for being the former director of Kathimerini, a daily morning newspaper published in Nicosia, Cyprus.
Born in Larnaca, Paraschos studied international journalism in Moscow, graduating with a Master of Arts degree in International Journalism in 1987. He returned to Cyprus in 1987 and began working in various media. In 1995, he joined the large newspaper Phileleftheros where he worked in “Selides”. There he initiated an investigation about persons missing from the Cypriot tragedy, revealing among other things that over 100 victims in the invasion had been buried in the cemeteries of Lakatameia and Constantine and Helen in Nicosia. From that point began the process of exhumations and identification through scientific DNA analysis.
In January 1999, he joined a group that aimed to release the newspaper Politis. In 2001, he became its Chief Editor. In 2008, he moved to a newly created newspaper, "Kathimerini" (newspaper in Cyprus, not to be confused with the Athenian "Kathimerini" in Greece) as a chief editor, a position he retained until 13 January 2021.

# Edward John Harding

Sir Edward John Harding GCMG KCB (22 March 1880 – 4 October 1954) was a prominent British civil servant and diplomat and former High Commissioner to South Africa.

## Early life

Edward John Harding was born in 1880 in Weeley, Essex. He was the son of John and Laura Harding, his father being a vicar. Although born in Essex, the family, consisting of Edward, his parents and his older sisters Eleanor and Evelyn, moved early in his life to Beckenham where his father became the parish vicar. He was educated first at a private preparatory school, the Abbey School in Beckenham, from 1889 to 1893. He then had a brief period at a school in Margate and from 1895 was educated at Dulwich College. From Dulwich he gained a scholarship to study at Hertford College, Oxford.

## Diplomatic career

Harding was a career diplomat. He became Secretary of the Royal Commission on the Natural Resources, Trade and Legislation of Certain Portions of His Majesty's Dominions in December 1912 and accompanied the commission on all of its overseas visits: Australia and New Zealand (1913), South Africa (1914) and Canada (1914 and 1916). The long, informal letters he wrote to members of his family during these visits constituted a diary and are held as the "Dominions Royal Commission diary letters" by Cambridge University Library (Royal Commonwealth Society Library).
In 1925, he became both the Deputy Undersecretary of State for Dominion Affairs and Assistant Permanent Undersecretary of State for Dominion Affairs. He then became the Permanent Undersecretary of State for Dominion Affairs in 1930, where he served until 1939. His Assistant Undersecretary was Sir Harry Batterbee, who was married to Harding's sister. Batterbee in 1939 became the British High Commissioner to New Zealand. After leaving the Dominions Office Harding was appointed the British High Commissioner to South Africa in which capacity he served from 1940 until 1941.

## Later life

He died at Guildford on 4 October 1954, at the age of 74.

# Andreas Halbig

Andreas Halbig (24 April 1807, Donnersdorf – 3 May 1869, Penzing, Vienna), was a German sculptor, and brother to sculptor Johann Halbig.
Halbig studied under Konrad Eberhard in Munich, provided work for Bavarian churches and was responsible for the restoration of the Marienkapelle (Lady Chapel) in Würzburg. He probably equipped classical side altars to the Bartholomäuskirche (St Bartholomew's Church ) in Oberspiesheim, a district of the Kolitzheim municipality in Lower Franconia.
In 1856 he moved to Vienna where, from 1857 to 1869, he worked on a stone, polychrome high altar in Gothic Revival style, which is considered his major work. The altar was originally intended for Vienna's Votive Church (Votivkirche). Heinrich von Ferstel, the builder of the Votivkirche, rejected the altar as it would have interrupted the view of the choir ambulatory; the altar was consequently placed in Vienna's Augustinian Church in 1873.
Halbig's grave monument was erected by his brother Johann Halbig. A street in Donnersdorf was named after him.

# Andrzej Kmicic

Andrzej Kmicic is best known as a fictional character created by Henryk Sienkiewicz featured in the novel The Deluge. He is a typical szlachcic (Polish-Lithuanian noble) from the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth; unruly yet patriotic. During the course of the books, he transforms from a villain to a hero.
The 1991–92 Copernicus Society translation by W.S. Kuniczak calls the character Andrei Kmita, rather than Andrzej Kmicic.
The moral transformation of Kmicic is similar to the transformation of Prince Roman from Joseph Conrad's book.
Samuel Kmicic may have served as the prototype of Andrzej Kmicic.

# Edward Rudge (politician)

Edward Rudge (22 October 1703 – 6 June 1763), of Evesham Abbey, Worcestershire, was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1728 and 1761.

## Early life

Rudge was the only son of John Rudge, MP of Mark Lane, London and Evesham Abbey, Worcestershire, and his wife Susanna Letten, daughter of John Letten of London. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1726. He married Elizabeth Howard, the daughter and coheiress of Matthew Howard of Hackney, Middlesex on 8 April 1729.

## Career

Rudge was returned unopposed as Whig Member of Parliament (MP) for Aylesbury on the interest of his brother-in-law, Sir William Stanhope, at a by-election on 21 February 1728. He generally voted against the Government and did not stand at the 1734 general election. His father died in 1740 and he succeeded to his estate at Evesham. He was also returned unopposed as MP for Evesham, which was formerly his father's seat, at the 1741 general election. He was returned unopposed again at the 1747 general election.
In September 1753 Rudge was described as ‘one who though he had not much attended Parliament always voted with Government’. At the 1754 general election the Administration put up a candidate to oppose him. Rudge was defeated, although he was said to have spent ‘the greatest profusion of money’ in the contest. He was returned as MP for Evesham in a contest at a by-election on 23 April 1756. He did not stand at the 1761 general election.
Rudge died without issue on 6 June 1763.
