# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Caracalla

See also Caracalla on Wikipedia; Caracalla at Wikipedia; Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Caracalla in the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
CARACALLA, Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (188–219 A.D.), a Roman emperor, son of the Emperor Septimius Severus, was born at Lyons in 188. His original name, Bassianus, has been entirely dropped in favour, either of the nickname Caracalla (taken from the long hooded tunic which he wore, and introduced into the army), or of the imperial title of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, which he received at the time when his father declared himself the adopted son of M. Aurelius. Dion Cassius regularly calls him Tarantus, from his resemblance to a certain coarse and bloodthirsty gladiator. The heartless cruelty of his dis position was early displayed in an attempt to assassinate his father; and when, on his father's death, he mounted the throne (211) as colleague of his brother Geta, he did not shrink from murdering him in the presence of his mother, to seize the supreme power, nor from making himself secure by butchering 20,000 persons whom he suspected. It is said that he was, however, unable to rid himself of remorse, and that it was the torment of conscience which drove him to spend the rest of his life in the maddest acts of destruction and bloodshed. He visited Gaul, Germany, France, Egypt, and various parts of Asia, plundering everywhere, and committing the most atrocious crimes. In Alexandria he took vengeance for the sarcasms of the people by a general massacre; and he laid Mesopotamia waste because Artabanus, the Parthian king, refused to give him his daughter in marriage. In 217 he was killed at the instigation of Macrinus, who succeeded him. See Roman History.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Marie Taglioni

See also Marie Taglioni on Wikipedia; Maria Taglioni in the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
TAGLIONI, Marie (1809–1884), a ballet dancer, was the daughter of Filippo Taglioni, an Italian master of the ballet, and was born at Stockholm 23d April 1809. She was trained by her father, who in his discipline is said to have been pitilessly severe. It was to his care and her own special talent for dancing that she owed her success, for she possessed no remarkable personal attractions. Her first appearance was at Vienna, 10th June 1822, in a ballet of which her father was the author, La Réception d'une jeune nymphe à la cour de Terpsichore. Her success was immediate, and was repeated in the chief towns of Germany. On 23d July 1827 she made her debut at the Opera House, Paris, in the Ballet de Sicilien, and aroused a furore of enthusiasm. Her style was entirely new, and may be termed ideal as opposed to the realistic and voluptuous ballet previously in vogue. Among her more remarkable performances were the dancing of the Tyrolienne in Guillaume Tell and of the pas de fascination in Meyerbeer’s Robert le Liable. At this period the ballet was a much more important feature in opera than it is now, and in fact with her retirement in 1845 the era of grand ballets may be said to have closed. In 1832 she married Comte Gilbert de Voisins, by whom she had two children. Losing her savings in speculation, she afterwards supported herself in London as a teacher of deportment, especially in connexion with the ceremony of presentation at court. During the last two years of her life she stayed with her son at Marseilles, where she died in April 1884. Taglioni is frequently mentioned in the novels of Balzac; and Thackeray, in The Newcomes, says that the young men of that epoch "will never see anything so graceful as Taglioni in La Sylphide."
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Marc Antoine Madeleine Desaugiers

See also Marc-Antoine Madeleine Désaugiers on Wikipedia, Désaugiers in the 11th edition; and the disclaimer.
​DESAUGIERS, MARC ANTOINE MADELEINE (1772- 1827), a Freuch dramatist and song-writer, son of Marc Antoine Desaugiers, a musical composer, was born at Frejus on the 17th November 1772. Being intended for the church, he studied at the Mazarin College in Paris, where he had for one of his teachers the celebrated critic Geoffroy. He did not continue his studies long, however, having shown signs of a decided dramatic talent, which his father thought it well to encourage. Ere he completed his twentieth year he had written a comedy in verse in one act, which was well received when produced on the stage in 1792. In the following year he wrote some verses which appeared in the Almanack des Muses. Dur ing the stormy period of the Revolution he emigrated to St Domingo with a sister who was about to marry a creole ​planter. He found that he had only escaped one danger for another equally great. During the negro revolt he was made prisoner, and barely escaped with his life. He took refuge in the United States, where he supported himself by teaching the piano. In 1797 he returned to his native country, and at once commenced to write for the stage. He was successful from the first, and in a very few years he became famous as a writer of comedies, operas, and vaudevilles, which were produced in rapid succession at the Theatre des Varietes and the Vaudeville. During the same period he acquired a reputation of a still higher kind as a writer of convivial and satirical songs, which, though different in character, can only worthily be compared with those of Be ranger. His singing of his own songs made his society eagerly sought for in many of the salons of Paris. In 1815 Desaugiers succeeded Barre" as manager of the Vaudeville, and he was prosperous for some years, though not in all respects well -fitted for the position. In 1820, however, the opposition of the Gymnase proved too strong for him, and he resigned. Five years later he allowed himself to be persuaded to resume the position, but he had scarcely done so when he fell into bad health. He died in Paris of the result of an operation for stone on the 9th August 1827. An edition of Desaugier s Chansons et poesies divcrscs appeared in three volumes in 1827. It contains a notice of his life by Brazier. See also Saiiit Beuve s Portraits Contemporains.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Marsigli, Luigi Ferdinand

See also Luigi Ferdinando Marsili on Wikipedia; Marsigli, Luigi Ferdinando in the 11th edition; and the disclaimer.
​MARSIGLI (Latinized Marsilius), Luigi Ferdinand, soldier and savant, was born at Bologna, July 10, 1658, and died in the same city, November 1, 1730. After a considerable course of study in mathematics, natural history, and anatomy, he visited Constantinople, and on his return to Christendom offered his services to the emperor Leopold, then at war with the Turks (1682). Wounded and captured in an action on the river Raab, he was sold to a pasha and accompanied him to the siege of Vienna; but in 1681 his friends purchased his release, and at the close of the war he was appointed commissioner for fixing the new Dalmatian boundary. In 1703 he was second in command to the count of Arco when Alt-Breisach was surrendered to the duke of Burgundy; and, though popular opinion acquitted him of blame, Marsigli was cashiered when Arco was condemned to death. Devoting himself to scientific pursuits, he visited Switzerland, and spent a considerable time at Paris and Marseilles. He went to Rome in 1709 at the request of Clement XI., but soon returned to Marseilles to prosecute his investigations into the physical nature of the sea. In 1712 he presented his scientific collections to his native city, and thus gave rise to the Bologna Institute of Science and Art; and about the same time he established a press, including founts of Oriental characters, for printing the publications of the society.
Marsigli's own works were valuable contributions to knowledge, brought out in very handsome style. Best known are his curious physical history of the sea (Italian, Venice, 1711; French, Amsterdam, 1725), with a very laudatory preface by Boerhaave; L'état militaire de l'Empire Ottoman (Amsterdam, 1732); and Danubius Pannonico-Mysicus (Hague, 1726). This last, of which only three hundred and seventy-five copies were printed, consists of six huge folio volumes illustrated by nearly three hundred maps and engravings, and furnishes an exceedingly elaborate account of the course of the Danube, of the towns and antiquities along its banks, of its birds, beasts, fishes, &c. See Fontenelle's éloge in Mem. de l'Acad. des Sciences, Paris, 1730; Quincy, Vie de Mons. le Comte de Marsigli, Zurich, 1741.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Maria de Vichy-Chamrond, Marquise du Deffand

See also Madame du Deffand on Wikipedia; Marie Anne de Vichy-Chamrond, marquise du Deffand, on Wikipedia, Deffand in the 11th edition; and the disclaimer.
​DEFFAND, MARIA DE VICHY-CHAMROND, MARQUISE DU (1697-1780), a celebrated leader in the fashionable literary society of Paris during the greater part of the 18th century, was born in Burgundy of a noble family in 1697. Educated at a convent in Paris, she there displayed, along with great intelligence, the sceptical arid cynical turn of mind which so well suited the part she was afterwards to fill in the philosophical circles of Paris. Her parents, alarmed at the freedom of her views, arranged that Massillon should visit and reason with her, but this seems to have had little effect. They married her at twenty-one years of age to the Marquis du Deffand without consulting her inclination. The union proved an unhappy one, and resulted in a speedy separation. Madame du Deffand, young and beautiful, did not, according to the common belief, succeed in keeping herself uncontaminated by the abounding vice of the age, and it is said that she was for ​a time the mistress of the regent. She was afterwards reconciled to her husband, but it proved impossible for them to live together, and a second and final separation took place. Without heart and without enthusiasm, Madame du Deffand was incapable of any strong attachment, but her intelligence, her cynicism, and her esprit made her the centre of attraction to a circle which included nearly all the famous philosophers and literary men in Paris, besides not a few distinguished visitors from abroad. In 1752 she became blind, and soon afterwards she took up her abode in apartments in the convent of St Joseph in the Rue St Dominique, which had a separate entrance from the street. This became the frequent resort of such men as Choiseul, Bouflers, Montesquieu, Voltaire, D'Alembert, David Hume, and Horace Walpole. In 1764 the society was split into two parties by the defection of her companion Mademoiselle de L'Espinasse, who took with her D'Alembert and several others. Madame du Deffand had most affinity of nature with Horace Walpole, who paid several visits to Paris expressly for the purpose of enjoying her society, and who maintained a close and most interesting correspondence with her for fifteen years. She died on the 24th September 1780. Of her innumerable witty sayings probably the best, and certainly the best known, is her remark on the Cardinal de Polignac's account of St Denis's miraculous walk of two miles with his head in his hands, "II n'y a que le premier pas qui coûte."
The correspondence of Madame du Deffand with D'Alembert, Renault, Montesquieu, and others was published at Paris in 1809. Her letters to Horace Walpole, edited, with a biographical sketch, by Miss Berry, were published at London from the originals in Strawberry Hill in 1810.

# Expressing Condolences to Haiti

Congressional Record: January 26, 2010 (Extensions of Remarks) [Page E91] From the Congressional Record Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov [DOCID:cr26ja10-47]
EXPRESSING CONDOLENCES TO HAITI
 ______  
 speech of
 HON. AL GREEN
 of texas
 in the house of representatives
 Wednesday, January 20, 2010
 Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, I would like to extend my
support to H. Res. 1021, which expresses condolences to and solidarity
with the people of Haiti in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake
of January 12, 2010.  I would like to thank my colleague, Barbara Lee, chairwoman of the
Congressional Black Caucus, for offering this legislation and express
heartfelt condolences and sympathy for the people of Haiti in the wake
of this horrific natural disaster.  On January 12, 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the country of
Haiti. An estimated 3 million people have been directly affected by the
disaster in Haiti, more than 1.5 million people left homeless, and
severe damage has been sustained by roads, ports, hospitals, and homes.  The challenges in helping Haiti are immense, and the U.S. and partner
countries have made important contributions to the recovery efforts. I
commend the Obama administration for granting Temporary Protected
Status for Haitian nationals in the United States, many of whom are
unable to return home due to the destruction in Haiti.  I applaud the individuals, businesses and philanthropic organizations
across the United States and throughout the international community who
have responded to the crisis in Haiti with an outpouring of generosity
and support.  It is clear that the people of Haiti are now facing a humanitarian
crisis that is unimaginable and that will take years to recover from. I
support a sustained commitment to people of Haiti and encourage
innovative thinking in providing long-term assistance to the country.  I am committed to helping the Haitian people recover from this
tragedy and to rebuild their homes, communities, and lives in the days,
weeks and years to come.  Again, thank you to Rep. Barbara Lee for introducing this resolution
and urge all my colleagues to support H. Res. 1021.
