# Dictionary of National Biography, 1901 supplement/Albert Victor Christian Edward

​ALBERT VICTOR CHRISTIAN EDWARD, Duke of Clarence and Avondale and Earl of Athlone (1864–1892), born at Frogmore, Buckinghamshire, on 8 Jan. 1864, was the eldest son of Albert Edward, prince of Wales (now Edward VII), and (Queen) Alexandra, eldest daughter of Christian IX, king of Denmark, Queen Victoria [q. v. Suppl.] was his grandmother, and Prince Albert Victor stood next to his father in the direct line of succession to the throne. He was baptised in Buckingham Palace chapel on 10 March following his birth, and was privately educated until 1877, when he was sent to join the training ship Britannia at Dartmouth. In 1879 he went with his brother Prince George (now Duke of Cornwall and York) on a three years' cruise in H.M.S. Bacchante, which sailed round the world and visited most of the British colonies. An account of the cruise, ‘compiled from the private journals, letters, and note-books’ of the young princes, was published in 1886 in two stout volumes by their tutor, the Rev. John N. (now Canon) Dalton. After some tuition in 1882-3 from James Kenneth Stephen [see under Stephen, Sir James Fitzjames], Prince Albert Victor was in October 1883 entered at Trinity College, Cambridge ; during the long vacations he studied at Heidelberg, and in 1888 he was created hon. LL.D. of Cambridge. He was then sent to Aldershot, became lieutenant in the 10th hussars in 1886, major in 1889, and in 1889 captain in the 9th lancers, captain in the 3rd king's royal rifles, and aide-de-camp to the queen. In 1887 he visited Ireland, and in 1889-90 India (see J. D. Rees, The Duke of Clarence in Southern India, London, 1891). On 24 May 1890 he was created Earl of Athlone and Duke of Clarence and Avondale. On 7 Dec. 1891 his betrothal was announced with his cousin, the Princess Mary of Teck (now the Duchess of Cornwall and York). The wedding was fixed for 27 Feb. 1892, but on 14 Jan. 1892 the duke died of pneumonia following influenza at Sandringham. He was buried in St. George's Chapel, Windsor, on 20 Jan. His place in the direct line of succession to the throne was taken by his brother George, then Duke of York. A portrait painted by J. Sant, R.A., in 1872, and another of him and Prince George as midshipmen, painted by C. Sohn, were exhibited in the Victorian Exhibition; other portraits are reproduced in Vincent's ‘Memoir.’ His death was the occasion of many laments in prose and verse, of which Tennyson's elegy, published in the ‘Nineteenth Century,’ February 1892, is the most notable. Lord Selborne wrote at the time, ‘I do not think there has been a more tragic event in our time, or one which is more likely to touch the hearts of the people ​generally’ (Memorials, ii. 373), On 18 Dec. 1892 King Edward VII, then Prince of Wales, laid the foundation-stone of the ‘Clarence Memorial Wing’ of St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, which was designed to commemorate the duke's name.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1901 supplement/Albery, James

​ALBERY, JAMES (1838–1889), dramatist, eldest son of James and Amelia Eleanor Albery, was born in Swan Street, Trinity Square, London, on 4 May 1838. After some private schooling he entered an architect's office in Fenchurch Street at fourteen, and remained there till, on the death of his father in 1859, he helped his mother in conducting the business of rope and twine dealer in the Blackfriars Road. But he had already formed the ambition of writing for the stage. After several unsuccessful endeavours, he, on 4 June 1866, gave to the Lyceum ‘Dr. Davy,’ an adaptation of ‘Le Docteur Robin,’ in which Mr. Herman Vezin played David Garrick. On 4 June 1870 Albery obtained at the Vaudeville his most conspicuous success in a three-act comedy called ‘Two Roses,’ in which (Sir) Henry Irving made a great reputation in the role of Digby Grant. This was strengthened by the addition (27 Aug.) of ‘Chiselling,’ a farce by Albery and Joseph J. Dalley. On the 250th representation of ‘Two Roses’ (the performance being for (Sir) Henry Irving's benefit), Albery delivered an original sketch, entitled ‘Our Secretary's Reply.’ ‘Two Roses’ was printed in Lacy's ‘Acting Plays,’ 1881.
At the St. James's, 4 March 1871, was produced Albery's ‘Two Thorns,’ which had already been played at the Prince of Wales's, Liverpool, as ‘Coquettes.’ On 27 May the Vaudeville produced his ‘Tweedie's Rights,’ a grim piece on the subject of delirium tremens, and on 9 Sept. his ‘Apple Blossoms.’ On 23 Oct., at the Lyceum, (Sir) Henry Irving appeared as Jingle in Albery's ‘Pickwick,’ a poor adaptation from Dickens. ‘Forgiven’ followed at the Globe (9 March 1872). ‘Oriana,’ a fairy legend, was given at the Globe on 15 Feb. 1873, and the ‘Will of Wise King Kino,’ a similar experiment, at the Princess's, 13 Sept. On 6 April 1874 ‘Wig and Gown’ was played at the Globe, and on the 22nd ‘Pride’ at the Vaudeville. ‘The Spendthrift’ followed at the Olympic, 24 May 1875; ‘The Man in Possession’ at the Gaiety, 4 Dec. 1876; and ‘Jingle,’ a revised version of his ‘Pickwick,’ at the Lyceum, 8 July 1878. With Mr. Joseph Hatton he produced at the Princess's, 30 Nov. 1878, ‘Number Twenty, or the Bastille of Calvados.’ To the Haymarket he gave ‘The Crisis’ (2 Dec. 1878), to the Prince of Wales's ‘Duty,’ from ‘Les Bourgeois de Pont-Arcy’ (27 Sept. 1879), and to the Vaudeville ‘Jacks and Jills’ (29 May 1880). To the Criterion Theatre he gave a series of successful adaptations, including ‘Pink Dominos’ (founded on the French of Hennequin and Delacour). Albery's work never fulfilled his promise, which at the outset was brilliant. He had a wild, extravagant imagination, and in ‘Oriana’ recalled the gifts of Fletcher. He was for a time a sort of stock writer to the Criterion. At that theatre his wife, Miss Mary Moore, whom he married in 1878 when she was very young, played female ‘lead.’ He died, while still comparatively young, in his chambers in St. Martin's Lane on 15 Aug. 1889, and was buried on 20 Aug. at Kensal Green.

​AITKEN, Sir WILLIAM (1825–1892), pathologist, eldest son of William Aitken, a medical practitioner of Dundee, was born there on 23 April 1825. Having received his general education at the high school, he was apprenticed to his father, and at the same time attended the practice of the Dundee Royal Infirmary. In 1842 he matriculated at the university of Edinburgh, and in 1848 graduated M.D., obtaining a gold medal for his thesis 'On Inflammatory Effusions into the Substance of the Lungs as modified by Contagious Fevers' (Edin. Med. Surg. Journ., 1849). In October of the same year he was appointed demonstrator of ​anatomy at the university of Glasgow, under Allen Thomson, and also pathologist to the royal infirmary, which posts he held up to 1855. In that year he was sent out to the Crimea under Dr, Robert S. D. Lyons [q. v.] as assistant pathologist to the commission appointed to investigate the diseases from which our troops were suffering (Parl. Papers, 1856). In 1860 he was selected for the post of professor of pathology in the newly constituted army medical school at Fort Pitt, Chatham, which was afterwards removed to Isetley. This appointment he held until April 1892, when failing health necessitated his retirement, and he died the same year on 25 June. He had been elected F.R.S. in 1873, and was knighted at the jubilee in 1887. In the following year he received the honorary degrees of LL.D. from the universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. He married in 1884 Emily Clara, daughter of Henry Allen, esq., who survived him. His portrait by Symonds is at Netley Hospital.
His works include a well-known 'Handbook of the Science and Practice of Medicine,' 1857, 7th edit. 1880; 'An Essay on the Growth of the Recruit and Young Soldier,' 2nd edit. 1887; and an unfinished 'Catalogue of the Pathological Museum at Netley Hospital.'

​RICHARDS, THOMAS (1710?–1790), Welsh lexicographer, born about 1710 in Glamorganshire, served for forty years the curacy of Coychurch (Llan Grallo) and Coety in that county. In 1746 he published a Welsh translation of a tract on the ‘Cruelties and Persecutions of the Church of Rome.’ But his chief work was ‘Antiquæ Linguæ Britannicæ Thesaurus,’ Bristol, 1753, a Welsh-English Dictionary, with a Welsh grammar prefixed, dedicated to the Prince of Wales. Founded in the main on the work of Dr. John Davies and Edward Llwyd, this dictionary was much fuller than any which had yet appeared. A second edition appeared at Trefriw in 1815, a third in the same year at Dolgelly, and a fourth at Merthyr Tydfil in 1838. Richards died on 20 March 1790.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Richards, William (1643-1705)

​RICHARDS, WILLIAM (1643–1705), author, born at Helmdon, Northamptonshire, in 1643, was son of Ralph Richards, rector of that place from 1641 to 1668. He entered Trinity College, Oxford, in 1658 as a commoner, matriculated 3 May 1659, and became a scholar 13 June 1661. He graduated B.A. 24 Feb. 1663, M.A. 1666, and was elected a fellow of his college on 15 June 1666. He took holy orders, and was chosen preacher at Marston, Oxfordshire. Upon his father's death in 1668, Richards, to whom the living of Helmdon reverted, appointed to it Thomas Richards, probably a relative, and continued to hold his fellowship until 1675, when he instituted himself to Helmdon. In June 1673 he undertook a journey into Wales on business for a friend. The result was the publication in London in 1682 of a small satirical work entitled ‘Wallography, or the Britton described,’ dedicated with fanciful rhetoric to Sir Richard Wenman of Casswell. This witty trifle, published under Richards's initials only, was subsequently, in error, ascribed to Swift. In the preface to a second anonymous edition, entitled ‘Dean Swift's Ghost’ (London, 1753), the editor accused Richards of imitating Swift. Some resemblance is apparent between Richards's satire and portions of ‘Gulliver's Travels,’ but Swift was only fifteen years of age when Richards's work was written.
Richards, who was a nonjuror, was appointed on 25 July 1689 by the corporation of Newcastle-on-Tyne lecturer of St. Andrew's in that city. He was buried in the chancel of St. Andrew's on 22 Aug. 1705. His portrait, painted by Kneller, was engraved by T. Smith in 1688.
Besides ‘Wallography’ he wrote ‘The English Orator, or Rhetorical Descant by way of Declamation upon some notable themes, both Historical and Philosophical,’ 2 parts, London, 1680, 8vo. Wood says he translated and edited with notes (completed in 1690) the ‘Nova Reperta, sive Rerum memorabilium libri duo’ of Guido Panciroli. An anonymous English translation was published in 1715 (London, 2 vols).

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Richards, William Upton

​RICHARDS, WILLIAM UPTON (1811–1873), divine, only son of William Richards of Penryn, Cornwall, and his wife, Elizabeth Rose Thomas, was born at Penryn on 2 March 1811. He matriculated from Exeter College, Oxford, on 29 April 1829, graduating B.A. in 1833, and M.A. in 1839. In 1833 he became an assistant in the manuscript department of the British Museum, and in this capacity he compiled an index to the Egerton MSS., and the Additional MSS. acquired between 1783 and 1835; it was printed by order of the trustees in 1849. In that year he gave up his post at the British Museum on becoming vicar of All Saints, Margaret Street, Marylebone. Richards was a warm adherent of the tractarian movement, and formed a friendship with Pusey, who in 1850 addressed to him a published letter in which he formulated his opinion on the practice of private confession and absolution in the Church of England. In June 1851 Richards addressed a letter to C. J. Blomfield, bishop of London, denouncing the permission granted to Merle d'Aubigné and other foreign protestants to preach in English churches as ‘an outrage upon our church,’ and ‘apparently reducing our apostolic church to an equality with those modern sects’ (Browne, Annals of the Tractarian Movement, pp. 230–2). In the same year Richards founded an English sisterhood in his parish called the All Saints' Home. He died at his residence, 10 St. Andrew's Place, Regent's Park, on 16 June 1873. Two funeral sermons, preached by the Rev. George Body at All Saints, were published under the title, ‘The Parting of Elijah and Elisha,’ 1873, 8vo. Besides sermons, Richards wrote ‘Devotions for Children,’ 1857, 12mo; ‘The Life of Faith,’ 1860, 16mo, 3rd ed. 1867, 4th ed. 1872; ‘The Great Truths of the Christian Religion,’ in five parts, 1862, 8vo, 3rd ed. 1869, and translated from the French Courbon's ‘Familiar Instructions on Mental Prayer,’ 1848, 32mo (with additions, 1852 and 1856).

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Richards, Thomas (d.1564?)

Thomas Rychard in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
​RICHARDS, THOMAS (d. 1564?), translator, was born in Devonshire, and took the habit of a Benedictine monk at Tavistock. He supplicated B.D. at Oxford on 29 Oct. 1515, and in 1517 qualified as B.D. of Cambridge. He was elected prior of Totnes, Devonshire, on 27 Feb. 1528, and held office at the suppression of that house. Sir Peter Edgcumbe, on whose father the priory was bestowed by Henry VIII, wrote of Richards to Thomas Cromwell as a ‘man of goode and vertuus converssacyon and a good viander.’ At the dissolution of the monasteries he obtained the rectory of St. George's, Exeter, where he died in 1563 or 1564, his will, dated 10 Aug. 1563, being proved on 14 April 1564. Wood says that while at Totnes, Richards translated the ‘Consolatio Philosophiæ’ of Boethius, at the desire of Robert Langton, and that his version was printed at Tavistock. But the work is not known to be extant. Bliss suggests that Richards was the printer only.

## Verse 1

Liza Green felt awf'ly sick, Sent out for the doctor quick. The doctor called around, these words to say: "You're suff'ring from a love attack, And if you want to bring health back, A loving man must love you every day." THen he turned to say goodbye, Just to hear Eliza cry:

## Chorus

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, Doctor, Won't you kindly hear my plea? I know you know, Doctor, Exactly what is best for me. Hear me sigh, hear me cry, Surely you ain't gon' to let me die, For if some love will make me gain, Do your duty, Doctor, cure my pain."

## Verse 2

Doctor said, "I can't decline, Curing patients is my line." Then started lovin' Liza good and strong. Soon she was feeling well once more. The doctor then looked t'ward the door, And said, "I guess I'd best be getting along." But Eliza hollered quick, "Oh, I fear I'm getting sick."

## Chorus

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, Doctor, Won't you kindly hear my plea? I know you know, Doctor, Exactly what is best for me. Hear me sigh, hear me cry, Surely you ain't gon' to let me die, For if some love will make me gain, Do your duty, Doctor, cure my pain."

88 U.S. 33
Doane v. Glenn
None of the objections to the reading of the deposition go to the testimony of the witness. All of them relate to defects and irregularities which might have been obviated by retaking the deposition. It does not appear that any notice beforehand was given to the counsel of the plaintiffs that they would be made. In such cases the objection must be noted when the deposition is taken, or be presented by a motion to suppress before the trial is begun. The party taking the deposition is entitled to have the question of its admissibility settled in advance. Good faith and due diligence are required on both sides. When such objections, under the circumstances of this case, are withheld until the trial is in progress, they must be regarded as waived, and the deposition should be admitted in evidence. This is demanded by the interests of justice. It is necessary to prevent surprise and the sacrifice of substantial rights. It subjects the other party to no hardship. All that is exacted of him is proper frankness.
The settled rule of this court is in accordance with these views.
The District Court erred in excluding the deposition, and the Supreme Court of the Territory erred, as regards this point, in affirming the judgment.
JUDGMENT REVERSED, and the case remanded with direction to issue

# DoD takes custody of high-value al Qaida operative

By Jim Garamone American Forces Press Service
The Defense Department has taken custody of a “high-value” al Qaida operative, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said March 14.
Whitman said that Muhammad Rahim is now in custody at the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Rahim is a high-level member of al Qaida and a close associate of Osama bin Laden. “Prior to his arrival in Guantanamo, he has been held in CIA custody,” Whitman said.
Rahim is from Afghanistan’s Nangahar province and had close ties to al Qaida organizations throughout the Middle East. “He is one of (bin Laden’s) most trusted facilitators and procurement specialists,” Whitman said.
Rahim prepared the Tora Bora complex as a hideout for bin Laden, and assisted in al Qaida’s exodus from the area in late 2001. He joined the terror organization in the mid-1990s, first procuring supplies and later as a courier. He personally carried messages from bin Laden to al Qaida leaders.
“He had knowledge of or was involved in al Qaida attacks planned against coalition forces in Afghanistan,” Whitman said. “At the time of his capture, he was providing support to anti-coalition militias, and groups allied with al Qaida.”
Before 2002, Rahim procured chemicals for an al Qaida plot targeting U.S. forces in Afghanistan, and he worked with al Qaida paramilitary commanders to recruit individuals who had access to U.S. military bases.
Rahim will be treated appropriately and humanely, in accordance with policies and procedures for other DoD detainees at Guantanamo, Whitman said. “He will be treated in accordance with U.S. law and international obligations, including the convention against torture, Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, the Detainee Treatment Act, the Military Commissions Act and applicable DoD directives and instructions governing detainees operations,” he said.
This is the first transfer to Guantanamo since August 2007. The last high-value detainee transferred was in April 2007. Sixteen highvalue detainees are under DoD control at Guantanamo. There are approximately 280 detainees at the facility.
“It’s always important to remember that intelligence is one of our most important tools in the war on terror,” Whitman said. “It’s been essential in developing our knowledge of al Qaida’s structures, operations, finances, logistics, criminal activity, safe routes, safe havens and intentions to conduct further attacks.
