# A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Smither, (Anne)

SMITHER (ANNE), a female Painter, in the 16th Century,
Who painted in miniature with such diminutive neatness, that she executed a landscape, with a windmill, millers, a cart and horse, and passengers, that half a grain would cover the whole composition. Her husband was John, a native of Ghent, a good statuary and architect; she was the mother of Lucas de Heere, a painter in the court of Queen Elizabeth.

# A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Sheridan, (Frances)

SHERIDAN (FRANCES), Wife of Thomas Sheridan, M. A. born in Ireland about 1724, but descended from a good English family who had removed there.
Her maiden name was Chamberlaine, and she was granddaughter of Sir Oliver Chamberlaine. Her first literary performance was a little pamphlet, at the time of a violent party-dispute relative to the theatre, in which Mr. Sheridan had newly embarked his fortune. So well timed a work exciting the attention of Mr. Sheridan, he by an accident discovered his fair patroness, to whom he was soon afterwards married. She was a woman of the most amiable character in every relation of life, and the most engaging manners. After lingering some years in a weak state of health, she died at Blois, 1767.
Her Sidney Biddulph may be ranked with the first productions of that class in our or any other language. She also wrote a little romance in one volume, called Nourjahad, and two comedies, The Discovery, and The Dupe.

# A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Shore, (Jane)

SHORE (JANE), famous for her Beauty, Wit, Misfortunes, and Penitence.
She was the wife of a goldsmith, in Lombard-street; but, though naturally inclined to virtue, was seduced by the poor ambition of being distinguished by Edward IV. who was smitten with her charms, and the most fortunate and handsome young man of his time, but unprincipled and arbitrary in his conduct. But while seduced from her fidelity by this gay and profligate monarch, she still made herself respectable by her other virtues. She never sold her influence. Her good offices, the genuine dictates of her heart, waited not the ​solicitation of presents, or the hopes of reciprocal benefit; to protect the oppressed, and relieve the indigent, were her highest pleasures. After the death of Edward, Lord Hastings engaged in an intrigue with Jane Shore; and Richard, who knew him sincerely attached to the royal family, accused the Queen, Jane Shore, and their associates, of having bewitched his arm, which was publicly known to have been withered from his birth, and pretending likewise that Hastings was their abettor, put him to death. And, in order to carry on the farce of accusations, he commanded the goods of Jane Shore to be seized, and summoned her to answer before the council for sorcery and witchcraft. But as beauty was her only witchcraft, and conversation her most dangerous spell, no proofs were produced against her, which could even be received in that ignorant age. Her persecution, however, did not end here. Richard ordered her to be tried in the spiritual court, for adultery. The charge was too notorious to be denied. She pleaded guilty, and was condemned to do public penance in a white sheet, at St. Paul's, after walking barefooted through the city. Her future life was long and wretched. She experienced, in old age and poverty, the ingratitude of those courtiers whom she had raised into favour. Not one, of all the multitudes she had obliged, had the humanity to bring her consolation or relief. Her frailties, in a court inured to the most atrocious crimes, were thought sufficient to justify all violations of friendship towards her, and all neglect of former obligations, and she was permitted to languish out her days in solitude and want.

# A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Sigea, (Aloysia)

SIGEA (ALOYSIA), a Native of Toledo, of French extraction,
Besides a profound knowledge in philosophy, had learned the Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Syriac tongues, and written a letter in each to Pope Paul III. She was afterwards sent for to Portugal, to be companion to the Infanta, where she composed many works, and died young 1560.
# A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Sibilla

Having beep wounded by a poisoned arrow, the physicians declared nothing could save him, but the venom's being sucked from his wound by some one, whose life must fall a sacrifice. Robert disdained to save his own by hazarding that of another; but Sibilla did this in his sleep, and died to save her husband.

# A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Sirani, (Elizabeth)

SIRANI (ELIZABETH), a most excellent Painter, born in Bologna, 1638, the Daughter of Gio. Andria, a Painter;
Who, against her will, discovering the genius of his daughter, taught her design. So high was her reputation, that, in competition with her father, and many other renowned artists, she painted, in the Certosa of Bologna, the Baptism of Jesus Christ, in a picture of thirty hands high, in which the expression was so grand and effective, that she surpassed ​her father and the other competitors. She died universally lamented, at the age of twenty-six, 1665; by the execrable means of poison, the world was robbed of her, but it was never discovered by whom the deed was perpetrated. She was sumptuously interred in St. Dominico, in the sepulchre of Guido Reni, whose colouring in life she had followed. Her father never recovered this fatal blow, but lamented her to his death. She had two sisters, Barbara and Anna-Maria, who were painters of repute.

# A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Siries, (Violanta-Beatrice)

SIRIES (VIOLANTA-BEATRICE), an Italian Paintress, born at Florence, 1710.
She became the disciple of Giovanni Fratellini, who was then in high esteem, under whom she made a great progress in water colours and crayon painting. She afterwards went to France, where she learned the art of painting in oil, and executed several portraits of noble persons. She returned to Florence, and was patronised by the grand duke. One of her greatest performances is a picture, in which are represented the Portraits of the Imperial family.

# A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Sophonisba

SOPHONISBA, Daughter of Asdrubal of Carthage,
Was promised to Massinissa, King of the Massyli; but afterwards, by the decrees of the state, in violation of public faith, given to Syphax, king of another part of Numidia; an affront which the former never forgave, in consequence of which he became the bitter enemy of her country, always siding with the Romans. Syphax, on the contrary, though at first outwardly pretending friendship to them, could not resist the solicitations of his wife to side with Carthage. Sophonisba was the greatest beauty of the age, well versed in various branches of literature, and excellently skilled in music; her voice was thought equally enchanting as her personal charms. When her husband was conquered by the Romans, she fell into the power of Massinissa, who married her; which greatly displeased the Romans; and Scipio warmly reproached him with his conduct, and desired him to separate himself from her. He feared their power; and going with much emotion to her tent, told her, that since he could neither deliver her from captivity, nor the jealousy of the Romans, he counselled her to die as became the daughter of ​Asdrubal, Sophonisba obeyed, and drank with composure and serenity the cup of poison sent to her by her husband, about 203 B. C.

# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Torrey, John

See also John Torrey on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​TORREY, JOHN (1796–1873), American botanist, was born at New York on the 15th of August 1796. When he was 15 or 16 years of age his father received a prison appointment at Greenwich, and there he made the acquaintance of Amos Eaton (1776–1842), a pioneer of natural history studies in America. He thus learned the elements of botany, as well as something of mineralogy and chemistry. In 1815 he began the study of medicine, qualifying in 1818. In the following year he issued his Catalogue of Plants growing spontaneously within Thirty Miles of the City of New York, and in 1824 he issued the first and only volume of his Flora of the Northern and Middle States. In the same year he obtained the chair of chemistry and geology at West Point military academy, and three years later the professorship of chemistry and botany in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York. In 1836 he was appointed botanist to the state of New York and produced his Flora of that state in 1843; while from 1838 to 1843 he carried on the publication of the earlier portions of Flora of North America, with the assistance of his pupil, Asa Gray. From 1853 he was chief assayer to the United States assay office, but he continued to take an interest in botanical teaching until his death at New York on the 10th of March 1873. He made over his valuable herbarium and botanical library to Columbia College in 1860, and he was the first president of the Torrey Botanical Club in 1873. His name is commemorated in the small coniferous genus Torreya, found in North America and in China and Japan. T. taxifolia, a native of Florida, is known as the Torrey tree or savin, and also as the stinking cedar.
