PEIRSON, LYDIA JANE,
Was born in Middletown, (Connecticut. Her father, William Wheeler, was a man of education and of a poetic turn of mind, and from him his daughter probably inherited her genius. From her earliest years. Miss Wheeler displayed that fondness for poetry and music which was to characterize her after life, and almost in her infancy was accustomed to compose verses, and sing them to little wild airs of her own. These first songs were all of God and nature, she being, like almost all children of genius, of a devotional cast of mind, and exquisitely sensible of beauty. Her powers of memory were unusually great; and in several instances she learned by heart whole books, such as "Falconer's Shipwreck," "The Lady of the Lake," "Lalla Rookh," Byron's "Bride of Abydos," "Corsair," etc. Although Miss Wheeler bega to write at such an early age, she did not publish any of her productions till after her marriage, esteeming, with a modesty natural to a refined and sensitive mind, her own writings too insignificant to interest any one. When she was fifteen years of age, her parents removed to Canandaigua, New York; and two years after, Miss Wheeler was married to Mr. Peirson, of Cazenovia, and removed with her husband into the unsettled wilds of Tioga county, Penn., where she has passed the last twenty years.
Her published poems would fill more than a thousand common octavo pages, and the half that she has written is yet unpublished. Her published prose exceeds her poems, of which she has issued two volumes—"Forest Leaves," in 1845, and "The Forest Minstrel," in 1847. Her writings are characterized by ease, grace, delicacy, and beauty, bearing marks of a genuine and sincere love of nature, and are evidently the outpourings of an earnest soul, full of deep and strong sensibilities.

PEABODY, ELIZABETH PALMER,
Daughter of Dr. N. Peabody, is descended on the mother's side from the two Joseph Palmers, one of whom was President and the other Secretary of the first Provincial Congress that assembled in Massachusetts to consider British wrongs, and both of whom, the father as Brigadier-General, the son as his aid, were engaged in the battle of Lexington. Miss Peabody was born May 16th., 1804, at Billerica, and lived in her early life at Salem, Mass., but, since 1822, has resided principally in Boston, where she has been engaged in education and literary pursuits. She first published a "Key to Hebrew History," and a "Key to Grecian History;" she next wrote the "Records of a School," which went into the second edition; and also contributed to the early numbers of the "Journal of Education;" to the "Christian Examiner" of 1834, in which are some articles on the "Spirit of the Hebrew Scriptures;" and to the "Dial," in which she wrote the articles on Socialism. In 1849, Miss Peabody edited "The Æsthetic Papers," to which she contributed an article "On the Dorian Culture," more elaborate than anything else she has written; and a paper upon "The Significance of the Alphabet," besides several shorter articles and poems. Her latest work is a school-book, entitled the "Polish-American System of Chronology," being a modified translation of General Bern's method of teaching history on a Chronological System.
Miss Peabody's writings are of a class unusual to her sex. They evince great learning and research, a mind free from the trammels of prejudice, and capable of judging for itself on whatever subject its attention may be turned, one whose aim is high—no less than the progressive improvement of her race, and who presses forward to the end she has in view, with an earnestness and energy proportioned to its importance. Her poems are harmonious, and show more thought than is usually seen in such occasional effusions. Still we look for a greater work from her pen than any she has yet sent forth. Miss Peabody is of the transcendental school of writers, though not among the mystics. We do not endorse all her ideas, but only commend her philanthropic spirit.

PERSIANA, FANNY.
Mdlle. Tacchinardi (the maiden name of this celebrated singer) was born at Rome, on the 4th. of October, 1812; her father was the well-known tenor of the above name, and her first public appearance as a singer was accidental, she having good-naturedly volunteered to take the place of a singer at Leghorn, who was incapacitated by illness from performing. So ably did she sustain her ​part, that her father, who had hesitated about devoting her to the musical profession, at once decided on doing so; and shortly after she accepted an engagement at Padua, from which place she went to Venice, where Pasta was then singing, and became not only the rival of that celebrated cantatrice, but the favourite of the Venetian public. In 1833, she sung at Milan, and in 1834 at Borne, where two operas were written expressly for her. Her fame spread over all Italy, and wherever she went—at Florence, Naples, Genoa, Pisar—she was hailed with enthusiastic applause. In the winter of 1837 she was at Paris, and there may be said to have set the seal to her reputation as one of the most brilliant and versatile singers who had ever delighted an audience. Madame Persiana has several times visited London. Of her domestic life but little appears to be known.

PEARSON, MARGARET,
Was an English lady, daughter of Samuel Patterson, an eminent book-auctioneer. She early manifested a taste for the fine arts; and on marrying Mr. Pearson, a painter on glass, she devoted herself to that branch of the art, in which she attained peculiar excellence. Among other fine specimens of her skill were two sets of the cartoons of Raphael, one of which was purchased by the Marquis of Lansdowne, and the other by Sir Gregory Page Turner. She died in 1823.

PENELOPE,
Daughter of Icarus, married Ulysses, King of Ithaca, by whom she had Telemachus. During the absence of Ulysses, who went to to the siege of Troy, and was absent twenty years, several princes, charmed with Penelope's beauty, told her that Ulysses was dead, and urged her to marry one of them. She promised compliance on condition that they would allow her to finish a piece of tapestry she was weaving; but she undid at night what she had woven in the day, and thus eluded their importunity till the return of Ulysses.
Her beauty and conjugal fidelity have won for her the praises of poets, and a warm place in the heart of every pure-minded woman. Her character and example appear most lovely when contrasted with her celebrated contemporary Helen. The character of Telemachus, as drawn by Fenelon, is such as we should imagine ​would be displayed by the son of Penelope,—her wise influence would be his Mentor.

PERILLA.
A daughter of the poet Ovid, and of his third wife, was very fond of poetry and literature, and devoted to her father. She accompanied him in his banishment, and is supposed to have survived him. She lived in the first century after Christ. It is the best example left by Ovid, that he encouraged his daughter in her literary tastes; and well did she repay his care in the cultivation of her mind, by her devoted attachment to him in his misfortunes.

PERPETUA, VIVIA,
A Carthaginian lady, about twenty-two years of age, suffered for her faith during the persecution of the Christians by Severus, Emperor of Rome. Her father, a pagan, who loved her tenderly, went to console her in her imprisonment, and attempted to persuade her to renounce Christianity. Perpetua, however, remained firm, which so incensed him, that he beat her severely, and did not visit her for some days. In the mean time she was baptized, having only been a catechumen before. On refusing to sacrifice to idols, she was confined in a dark dungeon and deprived of her infant. Her father again visited her, and in the most tender and affectionate manner entreated her, for his sake and that of her child, to renounce her faith; but she said, "God's will must be done."
After her condemnation, Perpetua and Felicitas, another Christian woman, were thrown to a mad bull, which wounded them severely, but did not kill them. Perpetua then caused her brother to be called, and, addressing herself to him and another Christian, she said, "Continue firm in the faith, love one another, and be not offended at our sufferings."
The people insisted on having the martyrs brought into the amphitheatre, that they might see them die. The beauty of Perpetua, and the weak state of Felicitas, who had just been confined, excited some compassion among the savage beholders. Perpetua fell into the hands of an unskilful gladiator, but she guided his trembling hand to her throat. She perished in 205.

Anna I of Russia

ANNA IVANOVNA,
Empress of Russia, was the second daughter of the czar Iran or Johan, the elder brother, and for some time the associate, of Peter the Great. She was born February 8th,. 1694. In 1710, she married Frederic William, Duke of Courlaud, who died in 1711. On the death of the emperor Peter the Second, in 1730, she was declared empress by the council of state, the senate, and the principal military officers at Moscow. They passed over her elder sister, the duchess of Mecklenburg, and the princess Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great, and afterwards empress, thinking that with Anna for an empress, they might reduce the government to a limited monarchy; but they were unsuccessful in their intrigues, for though she consented to all the required conditions, yet when she felt her position secure, she annulled her promises, and declared herself empress and autocrat of all the Russias.
The empress Anna had a good share of the ability which has long distinguished the imperial family of Russia; and managed the affairs of the empire with superior judgment. She was not, however, a very popular sovereign, owing to the many oppressive acts of her favourite Biron, a minion whom she had raised from a low condition to be duke of Courland. She discountenanced the drunkenness in which both sexes used to indulge; only one nobleman was allowed, as a special favour, to drink as much as he pleased; and she also discouraged gaming. Her favourite amusements were music and the theatre. The first Italian opera was played at St. Petersburgh, in her reign. She also directed the famous palace of ice to be built. She died at St. Petersburgh in 1740.

ANNA OF HUNGARY,
Was the daughter of Ladislaus the Second, king of Hungary, and Bohemia; she was born on the 25th. of July, 1503, and married in 1521, to Ferdinand of Austria, brother of Charles the Fifth, and afterwards his successor in 1558, as emperor of Germany. The death of Lujos, or Louis the Second, son and successor to Ladislaus, on the battle field of Mohacs, in 1526, transferred to Anna's husband the crowns of Hungary and Bohemia. His claims to the former were resisted by Zapolya, with whom he eventually agreed to share the kingdoms. Anna died at Prague in, childbirth, on the 27th. of January, 1547, when she was forty-four years of age. She was the mother of three sons and eleven daughters, and chiefly remarkable for her humility. It is recorded in her funeral sermon, preached by Nausea, that she was accustomed to wear mean and old apparel more like that of a servant than a queen.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Anna, the Prophetess

Layout 2
ANNA, THE PROPHETESS,
Was a Jewess, the daughter, of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She had been early married, and had lived seven years with her husband. After his death, she devoted herself to the service of Grod, and while thus employed, finding the virgin Mary with her son in the temple, she joined with the venerable Simeon in thanking God for him, and bearing testimony to him as the promised Messiah. It is worth remarking, that these two early testifiers of our Saviour's mission being both far advanced in life, could not be liable to the most distant suspicion of collusion with Joseph and Mary, in palming a false Messiah on their countrymen, as they had not the smallest probable chance of living to see him grow up to maturity, and fulfil their prophecies, and therefore could have no interest in declaring a falsehood. Thus we find the advent of our Lord was made known, spiritually, to woman as well as to man. The good old Simeon had no clearer revelation than the aged devout Anna. Both were inspired servants of the Most High; but here the characteristic piety of the woman is shown to excel. Simeon dwelt "in Jerusalem," probably engaged in secular pursuits; Anna "departed not from the temple, but served God with fasting and prayers night and day." See St. Luke, chap. ii.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Anne Clarges

ANNE CLARGES,
Duchess of Albemarle, was the daughter of a blacksmith; who gave her an education suitable to the employment she was bred to, which was that of a milliner. As the manners are generally formed early in life, she retained something of the smith's daughter, even at her highest elevation. She was first the mistress, and afterwards the wife, of general Monk. He had such an opinion of her undemanding, that he often consulted her in the greatest emergencies. ​As she was a thorough royalist, it is probable she had no inconsiderable share in the restoration of Charles the Second. She is supposed to have recommended several of the privy-councillors in the list which the general presented to the king soon after his landing. It is more than probable that she carried on a very lucrative trade in selling offices, which were generally filled by such as gave her most money. She was an implacable enemy to Lord Clarendon; and had so great an influence over her husband, as to prevail upon him to assist in the ruin of that great man, though he was one of his best friends. Indeed, the general was afraid to offend her, as her anger knew no bounds. Nothing is more certain than that the intrepid commander, who was never afraid of bullets, was often terrified by the fury of his wife.

ANNA MARIA,
Of Brunswick, was the daughter of Eric the First, duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg; she was married in 1550 to Albrecht, of Brandenburgh, duke of Prussia, on the day of whose death, March 20th., 1568, she also died, leaving two children, Elizabeth and Albrecht Frederick, who succeeded his father in the government. For his instruction and guidance she wrote, in German, a work entitled "Fürsten-Spiegel"—"The Mirror of Princes," which was divided into one hundred chapters, each being an exposition of one of the principal duties of princes. The manuscript of this interesting work is in the Royal Library at Könisberg. It has recently been published by Dr. Nicolovius, professor of law in the university of Bonn.
