# A Dictionary of Saintly Women/Volume 2

SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
ON THE FIRST VOLUME
From the "Guardian"
"Miss Dunbar has accomplished in this first volume a really valuable portion of a most useful task. With the help of the 'Acta Sanctorum' and a very considerable knowledge of later work, she has compiled an excellent summary of a vast number of lives of female saints. Her survey extends over the whole Church prior to the severance of East and West, the Western Church as a whole up to the Reformation, and the Roman Church afterwards. 80 far as we have been able to test the book, it is very well done, and from the best authorities."
From the "Church Times"
"The present compiler has gone to the best sources....Unquestionably, it will be found to be an exceedingly useful book of reference."
From the "Catholic Times"
"The authoress of this book undertook a work which demanded ability and discrimination. In performing it she has displayed both....The biographical sketches are well written, and the dictionary will be valuable both as a work for pious use, and a book of reference."
From the "Expository Times"
"It is a work of intense human interest, and at the same time of real scientific value. The best authorities have been used, and they have been used in the best way, the utmost care being taken to have all the references exact, and at tho same time to let these holy women speak and act in their own tongue and in their own time. This is the way in which short dictionaries should be written. Every article should be made to touch some human sympathy, every date as exact as pains and patience can make it."
From the "Tablet"
"This work is a useful collection of interesting lives of holy women...who in all ages of the Christian era have illustrated God's Church....Much historical information concerning the Middles Ages will be found in the lives of saints of that period."

# A Dictionary of All Religions and Religious Denominations/Zuinglians

ZUINGLIANS, a branch of the ancient protestants; so called from Ulric Zuinglius, a divine of Switzerland, who received the doctor's cap at Basil in 1501. Possessing an uncommon share of penetration and acuteness of genius, he declaimed severely against indulgences, the mass, the celibacy of the clergy, and other doctrines of the Roman church. He differed from Luther in supposing only a figurative presence of the body and blood of Christ in the eucharist; and simply considered it as a pious remembrance of Christ's death, and in the benefits it procured to mankind. He denied that either of the sacraments confers grace, and had some peculiar notions on the doctrines of original sin, grace, &c. He was also for removing out of the churches many things which Luther was disposed to treat with toleration and indulgence; such as images, altars, wax-tapers, and other ceremonies.
The religious tenets of this denomination were, in most other points, similar to those of the Lutherans.

# A Letter to the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate Regarding the Termination of the National Emergency Concerning the Southern Border

Published 2021-02-11
February 10, 2021
Dear Madam Speaker: (Dear Madam President:)
Consistent with section 202(a) of the National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1622, I hereby report that I have issued a proclamation that terminates the national emergency first declared in Proclamation 9844 of February 15, 2019 (Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Southern Border of the United States).
I have determined that the declaration of a national emergency at our southern border was unwarranted. I have also announced that it shall be the policy of my Administration that no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall, and that I am directing a careful review of all resources appropriated or redirected to that end.
I hereby report to the Congress that the national emergency declared by Proclamation 9844, and continued on February 13, 2020, and January 15, 2021, is terminated and that the authorities invoked in that proclamation will no longer be used to construct a wall at the southern border.
I am enclosing a copy of the proclamation I have issued.
Sincerely,
JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.

# A Letter to Sir Amyas Paulet

Paulet was the keeper of Mary, Queen of Scots. In 1586 a number of her supporters, led by Anthony Babington, plotted to murder Elizabeth and place Mary on the throne. The plot was discovered, and the plotters were executed in September. Mary, who had been complicit with them, was placed under stricter confinement, and then tried for treason.
Amyas, my most careful and faithful servant,   God reward thee treblefold in the double for thy most troublesome charge so well discharged. If you knew, my Amyas, how kindly, besides dutifully, my careful heart accepts your double labors and faithful actions, your wise orders and safe regards performed in so dangerous and crafty a charge, to would ease your troubles travail and rejoice your heart. In which I charge you to carry this most nighest thought: that I cannot balance in any weight of my judgment the value that I prize you at. And suppose no treasure to countervail such a faith, and condemn me in that behalf which I never committed if I reward not such deserts. Yea, let me lack when I have most need if I acknowledge not such a merit with a reward non omnibus datum.   But let your wicked mistress know how, with hearty sorrow, her vile deserts compels these orders; and bid her, from me, ask God forgiveness for her treacherous dealing toward the saver of her life many years, to the intolerable peril of her own. And yet not content with so many forgivenesses, must fall again so horribly, far passing a woman's thought, much more a princess, instead of excusing, whereof not one can serve, it being so plainly confessed by the actors of my guiltless death. Let repentance take place; and let not the fiend possess her so as her best part be lost,which I pray with hands lifted up to Him that may both save and spill, with my loving adieu and prayer for thy long life.
Your most assured and loving sovereign in heart, by good desert induced, Elizabeth Regina.

# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Ammonihahites

​AMMONIHAHITES. The people inhabiting the land and city of Ammonihah. They were utterly destroyed with their city by the invading hosts of the Lamanites (B. C, 82), in fulfilment of the word of the Lord through Alma and Amulek.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Ammonites

​AMMONITES, or PEOPLE OF AMMON. The Christian Lamanites or people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi. The name of Ammonites was given to them by the Nephites because Ammon was the chief instrument in their conversion. When they left their homes in the land of Nephi (B. C. 78) they settled, by permission of the Nephites, in the land of Jershon, which was considered a place of security for them, as it lay far to the north of their former homes, and the great body of the Nephite people inhabited the intervening regions. In Jershon, Ammon became their High Priest. About the year B, C. 76, they were visited by the Anti-Christ Korihor, but they gave no heed to his teachings, and he was, by Ammon's direction, removed beyond their borders. In the next year, many of the persecuted Zoramites found refuge in their territory, and for the protection and aid they afforded them they were threatened with war. To avoid being involved in this strife and being compelled to break their oaths of non-resistance, they moved into the land of Melek, and the armies of the Nephites occupied Jershon (B. C. 74). From time to time they received accessions to their numbers from Lamanite prisoners of war and others who preferred to remain with the Nephites. To them also the servants of the king of the Lamanites repaired in the days of Amalickiah when they were falsely charged with his murder. In later years (B, C. 46), numbers of them emigrated to the northern continent. The two thousand young men who fought so valiantly under Helaman (B. C. 65), in the lengthened war commenced by Amalickiah, were of this people. In process of time they became absorbed into the Nephite race.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Ammoron

​AMMORON. A Nephite traitor and apostate. He was a descendant of Zoram, the servant of Laban, and the brother of Amalickiah, whom he succeeded on the Lamanite throne, (B. C. 66). He was slain by Teancum, the Nephite general, in ​the city of Moroni, and was succeeded by his son Tubaloth (B. C. 61).
Ammoron is not mentioned until the death of his brother; then we are told he left the land of Zarahemla, repaired to the land of Nephi, informed the widowed queen of her loss, and gathered a vast host of men to continue the war, especially on the western border. He determined to carry on hostilities with unabated vigor, for a time taking personal command in the west; but he does not appear to have possessed the military skill and genius of his brother, for during his reign the Nephites reconquered nearly all the territory and recaptured nearly all the cities that had been wrested from them by Amalickiah. Later on in the war, when the Lamanite invaders on the east coast had all been driven to the land of Moroni, Ammoron was with them, and it was in the city of that name that he was slain with a javelin by Teancum. Ammoron is brought most prominently before the reader of the Book of Mormon through the insertion of the correspondence that passed between him and Moroni regarding an exchange of prisoners of war. In this correspondence his character is very clearly shown, (Alma, chap, 54).
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Amnor

​AMNOR. A Nephite captain,who, with others, was sent out by Alma to watch the Amlicites ​after the battle at Amnihu. Next day, they returned and reported that the Amlicites had joined an invading host of Lamanites, and that together they were hastening towards Zarahemla, and ravaging the country (Minon) through which they passed (B. C. 87).
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Ammonihah, City of

​AMMONIHAH, CITY OF. A western city of the Nephites, situated in the same region as the cities of Melek, Noah, and Aaron. It was inhabited almost exclusively by the followers of Nehor, and was notorious for the wickedness of its inhabitants. In the year B. C. 82 it was visited by Alma, but his words were rejected. He left the city to minister elsewhere, but was commanded by an angel to return, which he did, and was entertained by one of its prominent citizens named Amulek. These two together proclaimed to the people of Ammonihah the word of the Lord and the terrible penalty that would follow its rejection. Their words were scorned, their warning ridiculed, and they were cast into prison, while the few that had believed were either driven out of the city, or burned at the stake. Alma and Amulek were ultimately delivered by the power of God, when the prison in which they were confined was destroyed by an earthquake, and all except themselves, who were therein, were killed. The two prophets then left the city. Next year, in accordance with the words of Alma, the Lamanites suddenly attacked and utterly destroyed the city by fire. All its people — babe and grandsire, matron and maid — were burned, as they had previously martyred those who believed in the Gospel message delivered by Alma and Amulek. Zeezrom, the lawyer, was a citizen of Ammonihah, After the place where Ammonihah stood had lain desolate for a number of years it was rebuilt and strongly fortified. In B. C, 73 the armies of the Lamanites came against it, but finding how strongly Moroni had fortified it they retired without making an attack.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Amnigaddah

​AMNIGADDAH. A Jaredite king, the son of Aaron, and the father of Coriantum. His father, himself and his son were kept prisoners all their lives by the dynasty that had usurped the throne. In his grandson Com's days, the kingdom was recovered.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Ammonihah

​AMMONIHAH. The founder of the City of Ammonihah. We have no particulars of his life.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Ammonihah, Land of

​AMMONIHAH, LAND OF. The country immediately surrounding the city of the same name. It lay between the river Sidon and the Pacific Ocean, but exactly where cannot be determined. It was called after a man named Ammonihah, who was the founder of the city. In the same region ​were Melek, Noah, and Aaron, and the great western wilderness. When Alma had made the three days' journey spoken of under head of Melek, he reached Ammonihah. From the text of the passage some conclude that Alma traveled northward from Melek, but to us it conveys the idea that the prophet journeyed three days westward along or near the northern boundary of that land. We are confirmed in this opinion by the statement made in another place regarding Ammonihah's proximity to that portion of the wilderness which ran along the sea shore (Alma xxii: 27). In Alma (xvi: 2), it is stated: The armies of the Lamanites had come in upon the wilderness side, into the borders of the land, even into the city of Ammonihah. If Ammonihah had been situated three days' journey north of Melek, we suggest that it could not have been near that portion of the wilderness which the Lamanites so easily reached without discovery; for a march due north would have taken them close to, or actually through the lands of Minon, Noah, Melek and Zarahemla, the most thickly populated portions of the country; or, to have avoided these, they must have taken a circuitous route of immense length and great danger. Then, when they attempted to retire, their retreat, owing to their great distance from Nephi, would have most assuredly been cut off, as was the case with the Lamanite general Coriantumr under these conditions.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Amnihu

​AMNIHU. A hill on the east of the river Sidon, near which a desperate battle was fought (B. C. 87), between the Nephites and Amlicites, in which more than 19,000 warriors were slain. The Nephites, who were commanded by Alma, were the victors.

From volume 2 of the work.
​LESSON, or LEÇON, a name which was used from the beginning of the 17th century to the close of the 18th, to denote pieces for the harpsichord and other keyed instruments. It was applied to the separate pieces which in their collected form made up a Suite. The origin of the name seems to be that these pieces served an educational purpose, illustrating different styles of playing, and being often arranged in order of difficulty. This is borne out by the faet that Domenico Scarlatti's '42 Lessons for the Harpsichord, edited by Mr. Roseingrave' are in the original edition called 'Essercizi—xxx. Sonatas per Gravicembalo,' though they have little of the educational element in them, and by the following extract from Sir John Hawkins's History of Music (chap. 148; he uses the word 'lessons' for 'suites of lessons'): 'In lessons for the harpsichord and virginal the airs were made to follow in a certain order, that is to say, the slowest or most grave first, and the rest in succession, according as they deviated from that character, by which rule the Jig generally stood last. In general the Galliard followed the Pavan, the first being a grave, the other a sprightly air; but this rule was not without exception. In a manuscript collection of lessons composed by Bird, formerly belonging to a lady Neville, who it is supposed was a scholar of his, is a lesson of a very extraordinary kind, as it seems intended to give the history of a military engagement. The following are the names of the several airs in order as they occur: 'The Marche before the battell, The Souldiers Sommons, The Marche of foote-men, The Marche of horse-men: Now folowethe the Trumpets, the Bagpipe and the Drone, the Flute and the Drome, the Marche to the Fighte, Here the battells be joyned, The Retreate, Now folowethe a Galliarde for the victory." There is also in the same collection a lesson called the Carman's Whistle.' Rameau's Lessons for the Harpsichord, op. 2 and 3, are not arranged in order of difficulty, but are connected by the relation of their keys. In the case of Handel's 3 Leçons, the first consists of a Prelude and air with variations in B♭, the second of a Minuet in G minor, and the third of a Chaconne in G major; so they may be presumed to be intended for consecutive performance. The 'Suites de Pièces pour le Clavecin,' in 2 Books, were called 'Lessons' in the first edition, but in the later editions this name was discarded for that which they now bear.

​BURNISTON. (Lieutenant, 1825.)
Hugh Somerville Burniston was born in 1796.
This officer entered the Navy, 5 Dec. 1808, on board the Caesar 80, Capt. Chas. Richardson, bearing the flag of Hon. Robt. Stopford; and, in the course of 1809, was present at the destruction of three heavy French frigates under the batteries of Sable d’Olonne, also of the shipping in Aix Roads, and in the expedition to the Walcheren. In April, 1810, he accompanied Capt. Richardson into the Semiramis 36, in the boats of which frigate and of the Diana he assisted, 25 Aug. 1811, at the capture of a large convoy up the Gironde, and at the annihilation, under the fort of Royan, of Le Pluvier national brig, of 16 guns and 36 men. Mr. Bumiston next served for two years in the Mediterranean under Lord Exmouth, and was with that nobleman in the Queen Charlotte 100, at the bombardment of Algiers, 27 Aug. 1816. For his auxiliary conduct on two subsequent occasions, in saving, while belonging, in 1821-2, to the Severn 50, Capt. Wm. M‘Culloch, the life of a Dutch officer who had been wrecked, and also a French ship, the Julia, with the whole of her crew, he received, in consideration of the first exploit, a gold medal from the King of the Netherlands, valued at 25 ducats, and of the second, the thanks of the Royal Humane Society. He attained his present rank 27 May, 1825; and, since 3 Oct. in the same year, has been employed in the Coast Guard.
Lieut. Burniston married, in Aug. 1825, a daughter of A. Baxter, Esq., R.N., and has issue four sons.
