# A Compendium of Irish Biography/Whaley, Thomas

Layout 2
​Whaley, Thomas, sometimes known as "Buck Whaley," or "Jerusalem Whaley," a noted Dublin character, was born in Ireland in 1766. His father acquired the sobriquet of "Burn-Chapel Whaley," on account of his severities during the Insurrection of 1798. Young Whaley was elected member of Parliament for Newcastle, County of Down, in 1785, before he was of age, which was not then unusual in Ireland, and represented the borough until 1790. He sat for Enniscorthy from 1797 to June 1800. He was called "Jerusalem Whaley," in consequence of winning a wager, said to have been for £20,000, that he would walk (except where a sea passage was unavoidable) to Jerusalem, play ball against its walls, and return within twelve months. He started on 22nd September 1788, and reached home in the following June. He is said once to have leaped his horse over a stage-coach placed beneath the windows of his mansion (now the Catholic University) in Stephen's-green. In June 1800 he married a daughter of the first Baron Cloncurry. He was one of those bought over by the opposition stock-purse to vote against the Union, but, according to Barrington, was bought back by Castlereagh. He died 2nd November 1800, aged about 34.

​Wheeler, George Bomford, Rev., author of several classical translations and educational works, was born in Ireland in 1805. After a distinguished career at the University of Dublin (taking a scholarship in 1832, and a senior classical moderatorship in 1834), he entered the Church, and was for a large part of his life rector of Ballysax, in the County of Kildare. He was for many years editor of the Irish Times, one of the leading Dublin papers, and in that position displayed wonderful temper and an unflagging industry, which seemed unaffected by age. His educational works, chiefly classical, numbered some fifty. He edited Homer, Horace, Cicero, and Ovid, with notes, and published a Latin Grammar and a new edition of Murray's English Grammar. Dr. Wheeler died from the results of an accident, at Newbridge, 21st October 1877, aged 72, and was buried at Ballysax.

He sat in the Imperial Parliament for Leitrim, and spent thousands in contesting seats in the Whig interest for members of his family. He bought Lord Carhampton's estate of Luttrelstown, near Lucan, which, as Woodlands, is occupied by his descendant Lord Annaly. Luke White died in London, 25th February 1824.

​Whalley, John, a notorious quack and astrologer, who flourished in Dublin in the latter part of the 17th century, was born 29th April 1653. He learned the trade of shoemaking; but found the compiling of prophetic almanacks, compounding quack medicines, and practising necromancy more profitable employments. He rendered himself peculiarly obnoxious to the Catholic Irish by his fanatical railings against them and their religion; and during James II.'s occupation of Dublin, consulted his safety by retiring to England. At the conclusion of the war Whalley returned to Ireland, and resumed his profession and the publication of almanacks and astrological pamphlets, at the "Blew Posts, next door to the Wheel of Fortune, on the west side of St. Stephen's-green," at the "Blew Ball", Arundal-court, just without St. Nicholas'-gate," and elsewhere in Dublin. He carried on a perpetual warfare with rival astrologers and almanack compilers in the city. In 17 14 he started a newspaper, styled Whalley's News-Letter. "The Doctor," as he styled himself, died 17th January 1724, aged 70. His widow continued to publish almanacks for some years in Bell-alley, off Golden-lane.

​White, Samuel, a well-known Dublin schoolmaster, said to have been a relation of the Sheridan family, was born in 1733. In 1758 he opened a school at No. 75 (now 79) Grafton-street, Dublin, where he taught the Wellesleys, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Thomas Moore (1779-1852), and many others afterwards eminent. Moore pays a graceful tribute to him in his Life of Sheridan. White was peculiarly successful in his method of teaching, and was fond of cultivating the dramatic talents of his pupils. He was the author of The Shamrock, a Collection of Poems, Songs, and Epigrams (Dublin, 1772), an English Grammar, and some minor works. He died in Grafton-street, 4th October 1811, aged78.

# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Dinah

Layout 2
DINAH,
The only daughter of the patriarch Jacob. Her seduction by Prince Shechem; his honourable proposal of repairing the injury by marriage, and the prevention of the fulfilment of this just intention by the treachery and barbarity of her bloody brethren Simeon and Levi, are recorded in Genesis xxxiv. But every character in the Bible has its mission as an example or a warning, and Dinah's should be the beacon to warn the young of her sex against levity of manners and eagerness for society. "She went out to see the daughters of the land;" the result of her visit was her own ruin, and involving two of her brothers in such deeds of revenge, as brought a curse upon them and their posterity. And thus the idle curiosity or weak vanity of those women who are always seeking excitement and amusement, may end most fatally for themselves, and those nearest connected and best beloved. Dinah lived B. C. 1732.

She lived in Greece, about B. C. 408.

DOMEIR, ESTHER, BORN GAD,
Was a woman of great genius and masculine powers of mind. She was born at Breslau, 1770, of Jewish parents. Already in her early youth, she busied herself with improving the condition and education of her sex, and wrote several essays on the subject. When twenty years old, she went to Berlin, where she became acquainted with Madame de Gentis, who contributed much to model her mind. In 1791, she embraced Christianity; and in 1792, married Dr. W. F. Domeir. With him she travelled through southern Europe, and spent several years in Portugal. The result of her observations was published in the year 1803, in Hamburg, under the title "Letters during my residence in Portugal and England." She wrote also several smaller works, and translated a number of French books into English. She died in 1802, lamented by all her friends. Her writings are distinguished for vivid description, strong sense, and beauty of thought, without much polish of sentiment or style.

She attracted the notice of the Emperor, but he found her virtue invincible. She wrote poetry with ease and grace.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Domniva, or Dompneva

Layout 2
DOMNIVA, or DOMPNEVA.
This appears to be a contraction of the Latin name Domina Eva, or the Lady Eva. The historical personage who bore it is sometimes referred to as Ermenburger; she was the daughter of Ermenred Clito, King of Kent, and was married to Merowald, King of the West Hicanas, or Hertfordshire, notwithstanding which marriage, however, she appears to have assumed the religious veil, by the consent of her husband; and the occasion of her retirement from the world is said to have been grief for the violent death of her two brothers, who were murdered by their cousin Egbert, who had ascended the Kentish throne, and who regarded them as dangerous rivals to his power. It is said that a miraculous light falling on the spot where the murdered princes were interred, led to the discovery of the crime. Egbert professed great repentance, and offered to pay the usual were gild, or compensation for blood, to their sister Domniva. This she refused to receive, but pardoned her cousin, and requested that he would grant her a place on Tenet, or the Isle of Thanet, as it is now called, "where she might build a monastery in memory of her brothers, with a sufficient maintenance, in which she might, with the virgins devoted to God, pray to the Lord to pardon and forgive the king for their murder." To this Egbert assented, and agreed to bestow as much land upon the religious foundation as Domniva's tame deer could run over at one course. The animal was let loose, and notwithstanding the efforts made by some to arrest its course, passed without stopping from one side of the island to the other, having run over forty-eight ploughed lands, or ten thousand acres, which the king, returning thanks to Jesus Christ, forthwith "surrendered to his illustrious cousin and her ecclesiastical posterity for ever"
And thus was founded the new minster, dedicated to the blessed Virgin Mary, and the memory of the murdered brethren, which ​was commenced, say some authorities, in 664, and completed in 670. And there, as Lady Abbess, dwelt, for a time at least, the widowed wife Domniva, as Drayton has it
"Immonastered in Kent, where first she breathed the air."
Her daughter Mildred, commonly called St. Mildred, on account of her holy life, a w6nian remarkable for her humility, afterwards occupied the same distinguished position in this monastery, the memory of whose site is still preserved in the Kentish village called Minster. It does not appear how long Domniva remained fit Minster, nor at what date she founded her nunnery at Ebbsfleet, in the Isle of Thanet. She survived her husband many years, and is frequently mentioned by contemporary historians. The latter period of h&r widowhood was spent at Gloucester, where she died.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Dido, or Elissa

Layout 2
DIDO, or ELISSA,
A daughter of Belus, King of Tyre, who married Sichaeus of Sicharbas, her uncle, priest of Hercules. Her brother, Pygmalion, who succeeded Belus, murdered Sichaeus, to get possession of his immense riches; and Dido, disconsolate for the loss of her husband, whom she tenderly loved, and dreading lest she should also fall a victim to her brother's avarice, set sail, with a number of Tyrians, to whom Pygmalion had become odious from his tyranny, for a new settlement According to some historians, she threw into the sea the riches of her husband, and by that artifice compelled the ships to fly with her, that had come by the order of the tyrant to obtain possession of her wealth. But it is more probable that she carried her riches with her, and by this influence prevailed on the Tyrian sailors to accompany her. During her voyage Dido stopped at Cyprus, from which she carried away fifty young women, and gave them as wives to her followers. A storm drove her fleet on the African coast, where she bought of the inhabitants as much land as could be surrounded by a bull's hide cut into thongs. Upon this land she built a citadel, called Byrsa; and the increase of population soon obliged her to enlarge her city and dominions.
Her beauty, as well as the fame of her enterprise, gained her many admirers; and her subjects wished to compel her to marry Jarbas, King of Mauritania, who threatened them with a dreadful war. Dido asked for three months before she gave a decisive answer; and during that time she erected a funeral pile, as if wishing by a solemn sacrifice to appease the manes of Sichaeus, to whom she had vowed eternal fidelity. When all was prepared, she stabbed herself on the pile in presence of her people; and by this uncommon action obtained the name of Dido, or "the valiant woman," instead of Elissa. Virgil and others represent her as visited by Æneas, after whose departure she destroyed herself from disappointed love; but this is a poetical fiction, as Æneas and Dido did not live in the same age. After her death. Dido was honoured as a deity by her subjects. She flourished about B.C. 980.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Dinnies, Anna Peyre

Layout 2
DINNIES, ANNA PEYRE,
A poetess known at first under the name of Moina was born in (Georgetown, South Carolina. Her father. Judge Shackieford, removed to Charleston when Anna was a child, where she was educated. In 1830, Miss Shackieford married John C. Dinnies, of St. Louis, Missouri, where she has since resided. The poetry of Mrs. Dinnies is characterized by vigour of thought and delicate tenderness of feeling. There is something exceedingly fascinating in the display of intellectual power, when it seems entirely devoted to the happiness of others. It is genius performing the office of a guardian angel. There is a fervidness in the expressions of this writer, which goes to the heart of the reader at once, and exalts the strain, no matter what the theme may be. In the regions of imagination she does not soar far or often; the wild and mysterious are not her passion; but the holy fire of poesy burns pure and bright in her heart, and she cherishes it to illumine and bless her own hearth. The genius that has warmed into summer beauty a frozen "Chrysanthemum," that "peerless picture of a modest wife," should be cherished and encouraged; for this "beauty-making power" it is which most essentially aids religious truths to refine and purify social and domestic life. Besides her contributions to periodicals, Mrs. Dinnies prepared a handsome volume, "The Floral Year," published in 1847.
