POLLA ARGENTARIA,
Wife of Lucan, the Latin poet, who wrote a poem on her merits, which is now lost, but her name is immortalized by two other poets of that age. Martial and Statins. Lucan was condemned to death by Nero; but the tyrant allowed him to choose the way in which he would die. He chose the warm bath and an open artery; but entreated his wife to live, and transcribe his great poem, the "Pharsalia;" which she promised him to do. It is said that, after his mournful death, she shut herself up in a solitary retreat, with the bust of Lucan beside her, and there carefully revised the three first books of the "Pharsalia."

POOL, RACHEL VAN,
Was born at Amsterdam, in 1664. Her father was the famous professor of anatomy, Ruysch; and her instructor in the art of painting was William Van Aeist, whom she soon equalled in the representation of flowers and fruit. She studied nature so closely, and imitated her so well, that she was thought almost a prodigy, and allowed to be the most able artist of her time in that line. Her choice of subjects was judicious; her manner of painting them exquisite; and she contrasted them in all her compositions with unusual beauty and delicacy; and they appeared so natural, that every plant, flower, or insect, would deceive the eye with the semblance of reality. Her reputation extended all over Europe, and she was appointed painter to the elector palatine, who, as a testimony of respect, sent her a complete set of silver for her toilette, consisting of twenty-eight pieces, and six candlesticks. He also engrossed the greater part of her works, paying for them with princely generosity. In early life she married Juria Van Pool, an eminent portrait-painter, with whom she lived very happily. She continued to paint to the last period of a long life; and her pictures, at the age of eighty, were as neatly and carefully worked as when she was thirty. Her paintings are uncommonly rare, being treasured up as curiosities in Holland and Germany. She died at Amsterdam, in 1750, at the age of eighty-six. She was as highly esteemed for her character as her talents. Her genius developed itself very early, and she had become somewhat celebrated for it before she received any instruction.
# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Buck (Thomas)

​BUCK (THOMAS), printer and bookbinder at Cambridge, 1625–70. Was appointed by Grace, July 13th, 1625. He had several partners, including Leonard Greene, John Buck, Roger Daniel. From 1640 to 1650 his name disappears from the imprints of Cambridge printed books, but in 1651–2 he appears to have become once more printer to the University for a brief space. He is said to have resigned in 1653, but he continued to retain an interest in the office up to the time of his death in 1670. The bindery of the brothers J. and T. Buck is distinguished for the beauty of its stamps, and the skill shown in decorative treatment. Dr. Jebb, speaking of the remarkable bindings executed by the ladies of Little Gidding, says that "a Cambridge bookbinder's daughter that bound rarely" was engaged to teach them the art, and Mr. Cyril Davenport in an interesting article on the same subject shows the resemblance between the stamps used on Little Gidding books and those found on books bound by or for the Cambridge printers. He concludes that the "bookbinder's daughter" came either from the University printers themselves, or from some Cambridge bindery which they patronised. [Bibliographica, Vol. II, pp. 129 et seq.]
# A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Bulkley, Bulkeley, or Buckley (Stephen)

​BULKLEY, BULKELEY, or BUCKLEY (STEPHEN), printer in London, York, Newcastle-on-Tyne, and Gateshead, 1639–80. One of the sons of Joseph Bulkley, bookseller, of Canterbury. He was apprenticed to a London printer, Adam Islip, for eight years from February 2nd (Candlemas Day), 1630/1, and took up his freedom February 4th, 1639. Stephen ​Bulkley then appears to have joined John Beale, q.v. Their initials are found in a book entitled The Secretary in Fashion, a translation by John Massinger, dated 1640. They also printed Lewis De Gand's Sol Britannicus, 1641, a pamphlet written in praise of King Charles, but in this instance Bulkley's name is printed Buckley, a mistake which also occurs in the spelling of the name in the Register of Apprenticeships at Stationers' Hall. In this same year, 1641, Stephen Bulkley printed for two London booksellers a book entitled The Masse in Latin and English, a translation by James Mountaine of Du Moulin's Anatomie of the Masse, of which three issues are known. Two political pamphlets have also been traced to Bulkley's London press, in consequence of which he was ordered to appear before the House of Commons as a delinquent, but fled to York, taking his press and letters with him. At York his first issue was Sir B. Rudyard's speech, which he printed on July 23rd, 1642. In 1646 he moved to Newcastle, where he remained till 1652; from thence he went to Gateshead, and it is said that during this time he was thrown into prison and plundered of his goods for his loyalty. He returned to Newcastle in 1659 and remained there till 1662, when he returned to York and set up his press in the parish of St. Michael le Belfrey. In 1666 he was in trouble for printing a book called An Apology of the English Catholics. In a letter to the Secretary of State written at this time, Bulkley is described as getting "but a poore livelyhood, a man well beloved amongst the ould cavaleers and an object of charity." He died in the month of February 1679/80, and was succeeded in his printing house by his son John.

She published, in 1628, a small but valuable tract, called "The Countess of Lincoln's Nursery." It was addressed to her daughter-in-law, the Countess of Lincoln, and is a well-written essay on the advantages of mothers nursing their own children.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Livia

Layout 2
LIVIA,
Daughter of Livius Drusus Calidianus, married Tiberius Claudius Nero, by whom she had two sons, Drusus and the Emperor Tiberius. Her husband was attached to the cause of Antony; and as he fled from the danger with which he was threatened by Octavianus, afterwards the Emperor Augustus, Livia was semi by Octavianus, who immediately resolved to marry her. He divorced his wife Scribonia, and, with the approbation of the augurs, married Livia. She enjoyed, from this moment, the entire confidence of Augustus, and gained a complete ascendency over his mind by an implicit obedience to his will—by never expressing a desire to learn his secrets—and by seeming ignorant of his infidelities. Her children by Drusus she persuaded Augustus to adopt as her own; and after the death of Drusus the eldest son, Augustus appointed Tiberius his successor. The respect and love of Augustus for Livia ended only with his life. As he lay dying, he turned his gaze on her, drew her in the grasp of death towards him, and said, "Livia, be happy, and remember how we have loved."
Livia has been accused of having involved in one common ruin the heirs and nearest relations of Augustus, and also of poisoning her husband that her son might receive the kingdom sooner; but these accusations seem to be unfounded. By her husband's will she was instituted co-heiress with Tiberius, adopted as his daughter, and directed to assume the name of Livia Augusta. On the deification of Augustus, she became the priestess of the new god.
Tiberius, her son, and the successor to Augustus, treated her with great neglect and ingratitude, and allowed her no share in the government. She died A.D. 29; and Tiberius would not allow any public or private honours to be paid to her memory. Tacitus speaks of her as being strictly moral, but says she was "an imperious mother, a compliant wife, a match for her husband in art, and her son in dissimulation." But if she was "strictly moral," she must have been far worthier than her son or her husband.

LIOBA,
A relation of St. Boniface, the intrepid apostle of Northern Europe, was placed by him at the head of a convent which he had founded for women, in the midst of the barbarous tribes of Germany, not far from the monastery of Fulda. She was a very learned woman for that age, and was thoroughly acquainted with the writings of the Fathers, ecclesiastical law, and theology. The Bible was almost always in her hands, and even during her sleep she had it read to her. AH her life Lioba was considered a ​saint. She was the only woman who was ever allowed to enter the monastery of Fulda. When St. Boniface was massacred at Friesland, he requested to be buried near Lioba; "I wish," said he, "to wait with her for the day of resurrection. Those who have laboured together for Christ, ought together to receive their reward."

# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Linwood, Mary

LINWOOD, MARY.
This lady, so celebrated for her exhibition of needlework, well deserves a place in this collection of remarkable female characters. She was born at Leicester, in the year 1766, and first appeared as a public exhibitor of her works of art, as they really were, in 1794, in the Hanover-Square Rooms, from whence they were removed to those in Leicester-Square, which they continued to occupy for 80 long a period. To shew the time and labour bestowed upon these pictures, we may mention that the latest and one of the largest of them, namely, the judgment of Cain, occupied the artist ten years. Miss Lambert, in her "Handbook of Needle-work," tells us that the works of this accomplished artist are executed with fine crewels, dyed under her own superintendence, on a thick kind of tammy woven expressly for her use; they were entirely drawn and embroidered by herself, no back-ground or other unimportant parts being put in by a less skilful hand; the only assistance she received, if it may be called such, was in the threading of her needles. No needle-work, either of ancient or modern times, ever surpassed the celebrated productions of Miss Linwood. Her exhibition consisted altogether of sixty-four pieces; she commenced the first piece when thirteen years of age, and completed the last at the age of seventy-eight; for her finest piece, "The Salvator Mundi," after Carlo Dolci, she is said to have refused the sum of three thousand guineas.
Miss Linwood died in 1846, at the ripe age of ninety. The "Leicester Mercury," relating the circumstance of her death, says, "Her end was approached with exemplary resignation and patience. By her death, many poor families will miss the hand of succour; her benevolence of disposition having led her to minister of her substance to the necessities of the poor and destitute in her neighbourhood."
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Amaron

​AMARON. A Nephite prophet, son of Omni, and a descendant of Jacob, the younger brother of Nephi. He resided in the land of Nephi, in the third and fourth centuries before Christ. Amaron received the plates of Nephi from his father, and held them from the two hundred and eighty-third to the three hundred and twenty-first year of the Nephite annals, when he transferred them to his brother Chemish. Owing to the increasing wickedness of the Nephite people, the Lord, during Amaron's days, visited them in great judgment, so that the more wicked part were destroyed, but he spared the righteous and delivered them out of the hands of their enemies. Of Amaron's private character the sacred record is silent.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Amlici

​AMLICI. The first Nephite, in the days of the Judges, who sought to overturn the republic and establish a monarchy, (B. C. 86). Amlici's ambition was to be king of the Nephites, but the people having rejected his pretensions by their votes, his followers consecrated him king. He then raised an army to sustain his claims. A battle was fought near the hill Amnihu on the east of the river Sidon, between his forces and those of the Nephites, commanded by Alma, the younger. The battle was a hotly contested one, in which twelve thousand, five hundred and thirty-two Amlicites and six thousand, five hundred and sixty-two Nephites were slain. The next day the defeated Amlicities joined a body of invading Lamanites in the land Minon, where they unitedly ravaged the country. Alma's troops followed the invaders and met them at one of the crossings of the river Sidon. Another desperate battle ensued, during which Alma met Amlici in single combat and slew him. Amlici's followers were defeated and most of them fled to a portion of the northwest wilderness, known as Hermounts, were many died and were devoured by wild beasts. Amlici is represented as being a very cunning and worldly-wise man, and as belonging to the order of Nehor.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Amlicites

​AMLICITES. The followers of Amlici. After their dispersion, and their flight to Hermounts, ​they are no more referred to by the Nephite historians. In fulfilment of the word of the Lord to Nephi, that those who fought against him and his seed should have a mark put upon them, they marked themselves with red on their foreheads as did the Lamanites, but they did not shave their heads as did that race. Of course they did not realize they were fulfiling prophecy when they thus acted or they would not have done so, as it was not their intention to fulfil the words of those from whom they had seceded.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Ammon, Children of

​AMMON, CHILDREN OF. A people descended from Lot. They are mentioned but once ​in the Book of Mormon (II Nephi, 21:14), in a quotation from the 11th chapter of Isaiah.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Aminadab

​AMINADAB. A Nephite who, in early life, belonged to the Church of God. From it he turned away, went over to the Lamanites and took up his residence in the city of Lehi-Nephi, where he dwelt B. C. 30.
When the two prophets, Nephi and Lehi, the sons of Helaman, came into the land of Nephi and were there cast into prison, God made use of Aminadab as an instrument in explaining the meaning of the glorious manifestations of His power that then took place. We may therefore infer that Aminadab was not radically a bad man. Whether he was in the prison as an officer, a prisoner, or a stranger led thither by curiosity or by sympathy for the two Nephites, is not explained, but we find him there when the earth shook, when the voice of God was heard from heaven, and the other wonderful and awful manifestations of His presence occurred. Aminadab was apparently the first who was permitted to notice that the faces of the prophets shone with the glory of God, and that they were conversing with angelic beings. To this he drew the attention of the multitude, and when they inquired what these things meant he had faith and intelligence sufficient to explain the situation to them, and to instruct them in what they should do to escape the terrible cloud of darkness that overspread them. Further, he instructed them in the principles of faith in the coming Redeemer and of repentance for past misdeeds. It is not unreasonable to suppose that Aminadab was among those who went forth from the prison bearing joyous testimony to what they had seen and heard, through which testimony thousands were brought to a knowledge of, and obedience to the Gospel, and that Aminadab himself again yielded obedience to its laws and remained faithful thereto to the end.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Aminadi

​AMINADI. A Nephite, one of the progenitors of the prophet Amulek. We have no record of the time that he lived, but it must have been in the land of Nephi before the Nephites migrated to Zarahemla, as he was at least four generations separated from Amulek. All that is known of him is that he interpreted certain writings written by the finger of God, on the wall of the temple, from which we may conclude that he was a righteous man, probably one holding the holy priesthood.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Amgid

​AMGID. A king of the Jaredites, of the dynasty that overthrew the reigning monarch in the days of Hearthom. In Amgid's days a descendant of Hearthom, named Com, having first drawn away half the kingdom, after a lapse of forty-two years went to war with Amgid for the other half. The war lasted many years and ​ended in Com obtaining power over the remainder of the kingdom.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Ammaron

​AMMARON, was the son of Amos the elder, a descendant of Alma and Nephi, He received the sacred records from his brother Amos, the younger (A. C. 306). Owing to the increasing depravity and vileness of the Nephites, he was constrained by the Holy Ghost to hide up all the sacred things which had been handed down from generation to generation (A. C. 321). The place where he hid them is said to have been in the land Antum, in a hill “which shall be called Shim.” After he had hidden them up, he informed Mormon, then a child ​ten years old, of what he had done, and placed the buried treasures in his charge. He instructed Mormon to go when he was about twenty-four years old, to the hill where they were hidden, and take the plates of Nephi and record thereon what he had observed “concerning the people.” The remainder of the records, etc., he was to leave where they were. After this we have no information of Ammaron's life. He must have been a very old man, as his father Amos died 126 years before the time that he buried the sacred engravings.
