# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Cunningham, Thomas Mounsey

​CUNNINGHAM, THOMAS MOUNSEY (1776–1834), Scottish poet, second son of John Cunningham and Elizabeth Harley, daughter of a Dumfries merchant, was born at Culfaud, Kirkcudbrightshire, on 25 June 1776. He was an elder brother of Allan Cunningham [q. v.], the biographer of Burns. He received his early education at a dame's school and the village school of Colliston, after which he attended Dumfries Academy, ​where he acquired a knowledge of book-keeping and the elements of mathematics, French, and Latin. At sixteen he became clerk to John Maxwell of Terraughty, but remained with him only a short time. He was next apprenticed to a millwright, and on the conclusion of his apprenticeship in 1797 found employment at Rotherham. His master having become bankrupt, he went to London, and had formed a design of emigrating to the West Indies, when he learned that his master had set up in business at Lynn in Norfolk, upon which he joined him there. About 1800 he removed to Wiltshire, and soon afterwards to the neighbourhood of Cambridge. At an early age he had begun to compose songs and poetry in his native tongue, and in 1797 ‘The Har'st Kirn’ (Harvest Home) was published in ‘Brash and Reid's Poetry, original and selected.’ While at Cambridge he wrote ‘The Hills o' Gallowa,’ one of the most popular of his songs, and of so high merit that it was attributed by some to Burns, and appeared in a collected edition of his works published by Orphoot at Edinburgh in 1820; a satirical poem entitled ‘The Cambridgeshire Garland;’ and another of a similar cast, ‘The Unco Grave.’ In 1805 Cunningham was in Dover, and proceeding thence to London, he found employment in the establishment of Rennie the engineer. Subsequently he was for some time foreman superintendent of Fowler's chain cable manufactory, but in 1812 he again joined Rennie's establishment as a clerk, and latterly rose to be the chief clerk. In 1806 he began to contribute poetry to the ‘Scots Magazine,’ and in 1809 was invited by Hogg, who styled him ‘Nithsdale's lost and darling Cunningham,’ to contribute to his ‘Forest Minstrel.’ On the establishment of the ‘Edinburgh Magazine’ in 1817, he contributed to it not only poems and songs, but, under the title of a ‘Literary Legacy,’ several prose sketches on modern society, as well as stories of the olden time, and interesting information on antiquarian subjects. Latterly he became discouraged in his literary ambition, and destroyed all his manuscript tales and poems, including one of considerable length entitled ‘Braken Fell.’ His verses are characterised by humour and tenderness, and are chiefly descriptive of the peasant life of his native district. He died on 28 Oct. 1834 in Princes Street, Blackfriars Road, London.

​CUNNINGHAM, TIMOTHY (d. 1789), founder of the Cunningham prize in the Royal Irish Academy, was a member of the Middle Temple, and lived in chambers at Gray's Inn during upwards of thirty years. He was probably a native of Ireland. In 1759 he solicited employment as copyist at the British Museum from Dr. John Burton (1697–1771) [q. v.] the antiquary. His terms, however, of twopence a sheet for foreign languages, with some small extra allowance for preliminary researches, seem to have been thought too high (Nichols, Illustr. of Lit. iii. 384–6). It may be presumed that his circumstances improved later, as he was the author or compiler of numerous legal and antiquarian books. Among them may be mentioned: ‘A New Treatise on the Laws concerning Tithes,’ 3rd ed. 1748, 4th ed. 1777; ‘The Practice of a Justice of Peace,’ 1762; ‘A New and Complete Law Dictionary,’ 2 vols. fol. 1764–5, 3rd ed. 1782–3, 4to; ‘The History of the Customs, Aids, Subsidies, National Debts, and Taxes of England,’ 1764, 3rd ed. 1778; ‘History and Antiquities of the Inns of Court and Chancery,’ 1780 and 1790; ‘An Historical Account of the Rights of Election,’ 1783, &c.
Cunningham was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries on 29 Jan. 1761, and a testimonial for his admission to the Royal Society was signed in the same year by the Bishop of Ossory, by Dr. Morton, and others, but remained without effect (Addit. MS. 28536, f. 133). He died at Gray's Inn in April 1789, leaving a legacy of 1,000l. to the Royal Irish Academy for the encouragement of learning in Ireland by the bestowal of prizes on literary or scientific works of distinguished merit. The council made every effort to secure a portrait or bust of their benefactor, but none existed.

Family details different in the ODNB.
​CUNNINGHAM, Sir JOHN (d. 1684), of Lambrughtoun, lawyer, eldest son of William Cunningham of Broomhill, a covenanter, by Janet, daughter of Patrick Leslie, lord Lindores, was assigned by the court to defend Argyll on his trial for high treason in 1661. In 1669 he was created a baronet of Nova Scotia. He was suspended from the practice of his profession in 1674 for adhering to the opinion that an appeal lay from the court of session to parliament by an ancient process known as a ‘protestation in remeid of law,’ in defiance of a rescript of Charles II declaring such process illegal and forbidding advocates to advise to the contrary. In 1678 he was elected member of parliament for Ayrshire, but the election was declared null and void on a technical point. Charles II, meditating in 1679 the disgrace of Lauderdale, held a sort of quasi-judicial inquiry into the character of his administration, hearing lawyers on both sides. Sir George Mackenzie, being king's advocate, acted for the defence, while Sir George Lockhart and Cunningham conducted the attack. Cunningham sat as member for Ayrshire in the parliament of 1681. He died on 17 Nov. 1684. By his wife Margaret, daughter of William Murray of Stirlingshire, he had two sons and one daughter. Though the son of a covenanter, he was, according to Burnet, a staunch episcopalian. Burnet also gives him credit for profound and ‘universal’ learning, ‘eminent probity,’ a ‘sweet temper,’ and exemplary piety.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Cunningham, Peter (1816-1869)

​CUNNINGHAM, PETER (1816–1869), author and critic, third son of Allan Cunningham (1784–1842) [q. v.], was born at Pimlico on 1 April 1816. He was educated at Christ's Hospital, London, and in 1834, through Sir Robert Peel, obtained a position in the audit office, in which he rose to be chief clerk. He retired from the audit office in 1860, and died at St. Albans on 18 May 1869. The work by which he chiefly deserves to be remembered is his ‘Handbook of London,’ 2 vols., 1849; 2nd edition in one volume, 1850, containing in small compass an immense amount of original information about places of interest in London, illustrated by quotations from distinguished authors whose lives have been associated with them. All subsequent works on London have been more or less indebted to Cunningham's ‘Handbook.’ For the Shakespeare Society, of which he was treasurer, Cunningham edited ‘Extracts from the accounts of the Revels at Court in the reigns of Elizabeth and James I,’ 1842, and wrote a life of Inigo Jones, 1848. For the Percy Society he edited ‘The Honestie of this Age’ and ‘a poem to the memory of Congreve.’ Cunningham's collected edition of Horace Walpole's ‘Letters,’ 1857, is a valuable work. He was the author of ‘Handbook of Westminster Abbey,’ 1842; ‘Modern London,’ 1851, 3rd edition, 1854; and ‘Story of Nell Gwynn,’ 1852. He also edited the works of Drummond of Hawthornden, with a life, 1833; ‘Songs of England and Scotland,’ 1835; ‘Specimens of the British Poets,’ 1841; ‘Works of Oliver Goldsmith,’ 1854, and Johnson's ‘Lives of the Poets,’ 1854, for Murray's ‘Library of British Classics;’ and Pope's ‘Works.’ He was a contributor to ‘Fraser's Magazine,’ ‘Household Words,’ the ‘Athenæum,’ the ‘Illustrated London News,’ and the ‘Gentleman's Magazine,’ to which he contributed in 1851 some valuable notes for a new biographical dictionary.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Cunningham, Peter (d.1805)

​CUNNINGHAM, PETER (d. 1805), poet, son of a naval officer, was ordained by Dr. Drummond, archbishop of York, without a university education, in 1772. He first served the curacy of Almondbury, near Huddersfield, where he was favourably noticed by Lord Dartmouth, and in 1775 he became curate to the Rev. T. Seward, father of Anna Seward, at Eyam, near the Peak. He became very popular there, and is frequently mentioned in Anna Seward's correspondence. While at Eyam he published two poems, ‘Britannia's Naval Triumph’ and the ‘Russian Prophecy.’ These poems are not in the British Museum Library, but the first of them is noticed in the ‘Gentleman's Magazine,’ lv. 212. When he left Eyam is not certain, possibly not till Mr. Seward's death in 1790. In a letter to the Rev. T. Wilson in 1788, published in Mr. Raine's ‘Memoirs and Correspondence of Rev. T. Wilson,’ he says that he has become reconciled to obscurity, and had refused Lord Rodney's offer of an introduction to the Duke of Rutland, then lord-lieutenant of Ireland, and also the chaplaincy at Smyrna. He may possibly have left Eyam in 1788 for Chertsey, his last curacy, for in 1789 he published a poem, ‘Leith Hill,’ in imitation of Denham's ‘Cooper's Hill,’ which shows an intimate acquaintance with the neighbourhood. In 1800 he published his best known descriptive poem, ‘St. Anne's Hill’ at Chertsey, which has been twice reprinted, and in July 1805 he died suddenly at the annual dinner of the Chertsey Friendly Society, to which he had been in the habit of preaching a sermon every year.
[Nichols's Illustrations of Literature, vi. 47–67, where are printed three letters of his and a sermon upon him by the Rev. T. Seward; Notes and Queries, 2nd ser. viii. 259, where his letter to the Rev. T. Wilson is reprinted; Anna Seward's Correspondence.]

​BIRD, RICHARD, D.D. (d. 1609), canon of Canterbury, matriculated at Cambridge as a sizar of Trinity College in February 1564–5, was elected a scholar of that house in 1568, and took the degree of B.D. in 1568–9. He was subsequently elected a fellow, and in 1572 he commenced M.A. 'It appears probable that in 1576 he was serving a cure at, or in the neighbourhood of, Saffron Walden in Essex, where a new sect of dissenters, calling themselves ‘pure brethren,’ had arisen. ‘A sort of libertines they were,’ who considered that they were not bound to the observance of the moral law of the ten commandments, which they held to binding only upon Jews: and we are told that ​‘one Bird' wrote to Dr. Whitgift soliciting his advice as to the best mode of answering certain questions which the sectaries had propounded (Strype, Annals of the Reformation, ii. 451). Bird proceeded B.D. at Cambridge in 1580. Subsequently he travelled as tutor with William Cecil, eldest son of Sir Thomas Cecil, eldest son of Lord Burghley. In France Cecil embraced the Roman catholic faith, and this led to Bird being subjected to harsh treatment. by Sir Edward Stafford, the English ambassador at Paris. Bird protested that he had been ‘robbed of the sowle of that young gentleman by wicked and treacherous men' (MS. Lansd. 40, f. 18).
On 21 March 1588-9 he was collated to the archdeaconry of Cleveland, and on 29 Sept. 1590 he became a canon of Canterbury. He resigned his archdeaconry in or before April 1601, was created D.D. in 1608, and, dying in June 1609, was buried in Canterbury Cathedral on the 19th of that month.
He is the author of: 1. ‘Latin verses on Whitaker’s translation of Jewel against Harding,' 1578. 2. ‘Appeal to Lord Burghley against the cruel treatment of Sir Edward Stafford, ambassador in France’ (MS. Lansd. 46, art. 9). 3. ‘A communication dialogue wise to be learned of the ignorant,’ London, 1595, 8vo. This seems to have been commonly known as ‘Bird’s Catechism.’

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Birkhead, George

​BIRKHEAD or BIRKET, GEORGE (d. 1614), archpriest, was a native of the county of Durham. He entered the English college at Douay in 1575, and was ordained priest 6 April 1577. In January 1578 he set out from Rheims, accompanied by the Rev. Richard Haddock and four students, and proceeded to the English college at Rome, which had just been founded by Dr. Allen under the auspices of Pope Gregory XIII. Returning to Rheims in 1580 he was sent in the same year to labour on the English mission, and we are told that he was 'well esteemed by all parties upon account of his peaceable and reconciling temper.' In 1583 he took relics of the Jesuit Father Campion to Rheims. Dr. Allen, notifying this circumstance to Father Alfonso Agazzari, says: 'Nobis egregiam partem cutis, variis aromatibiis ad durabilitatem conditam, Campiani nostri detulit ibidem P. Georgius' (Records of the English Catholics, ii. 202). On 22 Jan. 1607-8 Pope Paul V nominated him archpriest of England, from which office Dr. George Blackwell [q. v.] had been deposed in consequence of his acceptance of the oath of allegiance devised by the government of King James I. The new archpriest was admonished to dissuade catholics from taking the oath and frequenting the protestant worship (State Papers, Domestic, James I, vol. xxxi.) Birkhead retained the dignity till his death in 1614. From his deathbed he addressed farewell letters (5 April 1614) to his clergy and to the superior of the Jesuits. At different times he assumed the names of Hall, Lambton, and Salvin. He was succeeded as archpriest by the Rev. William Harrison. The catholic church historian of England states that 'Mr. Birket was a person of singular merit, studious of the reputation of the clergy, yet not inclinable to lessen that of others, as it appears from several original letters I have read between him and Father Parsons; wherein some controversies are handled between the Jesuits and clergy, which he toucheth with all tenderness and circumspection that things of that kind require, and with a due regard to the pretensions and passions of parties.'

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Bird, Samuel

​BIRD, SAMUEL (fl. 1600), divine, was a native of Essex, and matriculated as a pensioner of Queens’ College, Cambridge, in June 1566. He proceeded B.A. 1569-70, and commenced M.A. 1573. In November 1573 he was elected a fellow of Corpus Christi College, being admitted 30 April 1574. He vacated his fellowship in or belore 1576. He must also have been fellow of Benet College, as his earliest title-page shows: ‘A friendlie Communication or dialogue between Paule and Demos, wherein is disputed how we are to vse the pleasures of this life. By Samuel Byrd, M,A,, and fellow not long since of Benet Colledge,’ 1580.
It is further known that Bird was minister of St. Peter's, Ipswich, which was at the time a perpetual curacy, very poorly endowed. Unfortunately the church-books at present extant date back only to 1667, whilst a list of the incumbents from the year 1604 commences with his successor. His perpetual curacy he must have filled for a quarter of a century-say 1580 to 1604. He vacated the living in 1604. It must have been by cession or resignation, as in 1604 he was admitted a student at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and on 8 May 1605 was incorporated M.A. in that university. Nothing is known of him at a later date.
In Bacon’s MSS. belonging to the corporation of Ipswich, which date 16 July 1595 (38 Elizabeth), is the following entry:-
‘Exhibition of a poore scholler. Petition for exhibition for hir. Bird’s sonne at Cambridge. It's ordered the gift of Mr. Barney shall he considered and what money is laid out, and thereuppon order shall farther be madef Then, on 14 Aug, (same year): ‘It was ordered by the Great Court that 4 li. shall be given yearly to Samuel Bird, sonne of Mr. Bird, minister of St. Peter's, at Cambridge, to his maintenance in learning till 20 li. be laid out.'
Besides ‘A Friendlie Communication, published in 1580, Bird issued 'The Principles of the True Christian Peligion briefly selected out of many good books. By S. B. 1590; ‘The Lectvres of Samvel Bird of Ipswidge vpon the 8 and 9 chapters of the Second Epistle to the Corinthians,’ 1598; ‘The Lectvres of Samvel Bird of Ipswidge vpon the 11 chapter of the Epistle: unto the Hebrewes, and upon the 38 Psalme,' 1598 (an edition of 1594 is also recorded). The ‘Hebrewes’ is dedicated to M. Edward Bacon of Shrubland Hall. Finally Bird published ‘Lectvres . . . on the Seventh Chapter of the 2nd Epistle to the Corinthians,' 1598.
