# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Bolingbroke, Henry St. John, 1st Viscount

​Bolingbroke, Henry St. John, 1st Viscount (1678-1751).—Statesman and philosopher, s. of Sir Henry St. J., b. at Battersea, and ed. at Eton and perhaps Oxf., was during his youth noted chiefly for dissipation, but entering Parliament in 1701 as a supporter of Harley, soon made himself a name by his eloquence and talent. He held office as War and Foreign Sec. successively, became a peer in 1712, intrigued successfully against Harley, and formed an administration during the last days of Queen Anne, with the intention of bringing back the Stuarts, which was frustrated by the Queen's ​death. On the arrival of George I. and the accession to power of the Whigs, B. was impeached, and his name erased from the Roll of Peers. He went to France, and became Sec. of State to the Pretender James, who, however, dismissed him in 1716, after which he devoted himself to philosophy and literature. In 1723 he was pardoned and returned to England, and an act was passed in 1725 restoring his forfeited estates, but still excluding him from the House of Lords. He thereupon retired to his house, Dawley, near Uxbridge, where he enjoyed the society of Swift and Pope, on the latter of whom he exerted a strong influence. After some ineffectual efforts to regain a position in political life, he returned to France in 1735, where he remained for 7 years, and wrote most of his chief works.
B. was a man of brilliant and versatile talents, but selfish, insincere, and intriguing, defects of character which led to his political ruin. His writings, once so much admired, reflect his character in their glittering artificiality, and his pretensions to the reputation of a philosopher have long been exploded; the chief of them are Reflections upon Exile, Letters on the Study of History (in which he attacked Christianity), Letters on the Spirit of Patriotism, and Idea of a Patriot King. He left his MSS. to David Mallet (q.v.), who pub. a complete ed. of his works in 5 vols. (1753-54).

3. The second and fourth columns of these letters, counting from the right hand, are used only when they are connected with a preceding letter ; as, محمّد‎ Muhammad. Every letter may be connected with ​that which follows it, except these seven; ا‎ alif, د‎ dāl, ذ‎ zāl, ر‎ rē, ز‎ zē, ژ‎ jē, and و‎ wāw, which are never joined to the following letter, as will appear from the words برگ‎ barg, a leaf; داوري‎ dāvarī, a dominion.
Though the true pronunciation of these letters can be learned only from the mouth of a Persian or an Indian, yet it will be proper to add a few observations upon the most remarkable of them.

# A Grammar of the Persian Language/Of the Nouns

OF THE NOUNS, اسْما
and First of Genders, جِنْس.
55. The reader will soon perceive with pleasure a great resemblance between the Persian and English languages, in the facility and simplicity of their form and construction; both have no difference of termination to mark the gender, either in substantives or adjectives: all inanimate things are neuter; and animals of different sexes, either have different names, as پِسر pis̤ar, a son, a boy, کنِیز‎ k̤aniz̈, a girl, اسْپ asp, a horse; مادِیان mādiyān, a mare; or are distinguished by the words نر‎ nar, male, and ماده‎ mādah, female, as شیرِ نر‎ shēray nar, a lion; شیرِ ماده‎ shēray mādah, a lioness; these particles, however, are usually applied to irrational beings.
56. Arabick words indeed are often made feminine by receiving a silent (خفی Art. 29) final ه‎, added to it, as معْشُوق‎ maعshūḳ, a friend; amicus, معْشُوقه‎ maعshūḳah, a mistress; amica, as in this verse:
گُل در برَ ومَيْ بر کّفُ و معْشُوقه بکامسْت‎
The rose in my bosom, the wine on my palm, and the beloved is to my desire.
57. But, if such noun do not signify a rational being, they consider it
# A Grammar of the Persian Language/Shekesteh

In this inelegant hand all order and analogy are neglected; the points which distinguish ف from خ, ق from ج and ب from ت, ث and ن, &c. are for the most part omitted, and these seven letters, و, ژ, ز, ر, ذ, د, ا, are connected with those that follow them in a most irregular manner. This is, certainly, a considerable difficulty, which must be surmounted before the learner can translate an Indian letter: but I am persuaded, that those who chiefly complain of it have another difficulty still greater, which is their imperfect knowledge of the language.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Trollope, Anthony

​Trollope, Anthony (1815-1882).—Novelist, s. of Thomas Anthony T., a barrister who ruined himself by speculation, and of Frances T. (q.v.), a well-known writer, was b. in London, and ed. at Harrow and Winchester. His childhood was an unhappy one, owing to his father's misfortunes. After a short time in Belgium he obtained an appointment in the Post Office, in which he rose to a responsible position. His first three novels had little success; but in 1855 he found his line, and in The Warden produced the first of his Barsetshire series. It was followed by Barchester Towers (1857), Doctor Thorne (1858), Framley Parsonage (1861), The Small House at Allington (1864), and The Last Chronicle of Barset (1867), which deal with the society of a small cathedral city. Other novels are Orley Farm, Can you forgive Her? Ralph the Heir, The Claverings, Phineas Finn, He knew he was Right, and The Golden Lion of Grandpré. In all he wrote about 50 novels, besides books about the West Indies, North America, Australia, and South Africa, a translation of Cæsar, and monographs on Cicero and Thackeray. His novels are light of touch, pleasant, amusing, and thoroughly healthy. They make no attempt to sound the depths of character or either to propound or solve problems. Outside of fiction his work was generally superficial and unsatisfactory. But he had the merit of providing a whole generation with wholesome amusement, and enjoyed a great deal of popularity. He is said to have received £70,000 for his writings.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Trollope, Mrs. Frances

​Trollope, Mrs. Frances (Milton) (1780-1863).— Novelist and miscellaneous writer, b. at Stapleton near Bristol, m. (Milton) in 1809 Thomas A. T., a barrister, who fell into financial misfortune. She then in 1827 went with her family to Cincinnati, where the efforts which she made to support herself were unsuccessful. On her return to England, however, she brought herself into notice by publishing Domestic Manners of the Americans (1832), in which she gave a very unfavourable and grossly exaggerated account of the subject; and a novel, The Refugee in America, pursued it on similar lines. Next came The Abbess and Belgium and Western Germany, and other works of the same kind on Paris and the Parisians, and Vienna and the Austrians followed. Thereafter she continued to pour forth novels and books on miscellaneous subjects, writing in all over 100 vols. Though possessed of considerable powers of observation and a sharp and caustic wit, such an output was fatal to permanent literary success, and none of her books are now read. She spent the last 20 years of her life at Florence, where she d. in 1863. Her third s. was Anthony T., the well-known novelist (q.v.). Her eldest s., Thomas Adolphus Trollope, wrote The Girlhood of Catherine de Medici, a History of Florence, and Life of Pius IX., and some novels.

It is rather a miscellany than a systematic treatise, but contains much original and acute thinking.

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Trench, Richard Chenevix

​Trench, Richard Chenevix (1807-1886).—Poet and theologian, b. in Dublin, and ed. at Harrow and Camb., took orders, and after serving various country parishes, became in 1847 Prof. of Theology in King's Coll., London, in 1856 Dean of Westminster, and in 1864 Archbishop of Dublin. As Primate of the Irish Church at its disestablishment, he rendered valuable service at that time of trial. In theology his best known works are his Hulsean Lectures, Notes on the Parables, and Notes on the Miracles. His philological writings, English Past and Present and Select Glossary of English Words are extremely interesting and suggestive, though now to some extent superseded. His Sacred Latin Poetry is a valuable collection of mediæval Church hymns. He also wrote sonnets, elegies, and lyrics, in the first of which he was specially successful, besides longer poems, Justin Martyr and Sabbation.
