# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Walpole, Robert (1781-1856)

​WALPOLE, ROBERT (1781–1856), classical scholar, born on 8 Aug. 1781, was the eldest son of Robert Walpole, clerk of the privy council and envoy to Portugal, by his first wife, Diana, daughter of Walter Grossett. Horatio Walpole, first baron Walpole [q. v.], was his grandfather. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, whence he graduated B.A. in 1803, M.A. in 1809, and B.D. in 1828. At Cambridge he gained the prize for a Greek ode on ‘Melite Britannis subacta,’ Cambridge, 1801, 8vo. In 1805 he published ‘Comicorum Græcorum Fragmenta.’ In 1809 he became rector of Itteringham, Norfolk, in 1815 rector of Tivetshall, Norfolk, and in 1828 rector of Christ Church, Marylebone, London. He held Itteringham and Christ Church till his death. Soon after leaving college Walpole had travelled in Greece, and in 1817 he published his ‘Memoirs relating to European and Asiatic Turkey’ (2nd edit. 1818), and in 1820 ‘Travels in various Countries of the East,’ two interesting volumes consisting mainly of unpublished papers written by John Bacon Sawrey Morritt [q. v.], John Sibthorp [q. v.], Dr. Hunt, and other travellers, with descriptions of antiquities and notes and excursuses by Walpole himself. He was also joint author with Sir William Drummond [q. v.] of ‘Herculanensia,’ published in 1810.
Walpole died in Harewood Street, London, on 16 April 1856. He had estates at Carrow Abbey, near Norwich, and at Scole Lodge, Osmundeston, Norfolk. On 6 Feb. 1811 he was married to Caroline Frances, daughter of John Hyde. By her he had two sons and two daughters. Besides the works mentioned, he was the author of: 1. ‘Isabel,’ &c.; verse translations from the Spanish, &c.; severely criticised in ‘Edinburgh Review,’ vi. 291. 2. ‘Specimens of scarce Translations of the seventeenth century from the Latin Poets,’ London, 1805, 8vo.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Walpole, Michael

Same person as Christopherson, Michael.
​WALPOLE, MICHAEL (1570–1624?), jesuit and controversialist, youngest of the four brothers of Henry Walpole [q. v.], was baptised at Docking, Norfolk, on 1 Oct. 1570. When John Gerard [q. v.] landed in Norfolk in 1588 he made the acquaintance of the Docking household, and young Michael attached himself to the jesuit. When Henry Walpole was taken prisoner at Flushing, Michael went to his assistance and procured his ransom. He entered the Society of Jesus on 7 Sept. 1593. Doña Luisa de Carvajal came to England in 1606, and he appears to have been her confessor or spiritual adviser. In 1610, while in attendance on this lady, he was arrested and thrown into prison; but on the intervention of the Spanish ambassador he was released, though compelled to leave the country. In 1613 he returned to England in company with Gondomar, when Doña Luisa's house was broken into and the lady imprisoned. Walpole very narrowly escaped arrest. When Doña Luisa died in 1614, Walpole was with her, and he accompanied her body on its removal to Spain next year, and died some time after 12 Aug. 1624.
Walpole wrote much. He published: 1. ‘A Treatise on the Subjection of Princes to God and the Church,’ St. Omer, 1608, 4to. 2. ‘Five Books of Philosophical Comfort, with Marginal Notes, translated from the Latin of Boethius,’ London, 1609, 8vo. 3. ‘Admonition to the English Catholics concerning the Edict of King James,’ St. Omer, 1610, 4to. 4. ‘Anti-Christ Extant, against George Downham,’ St. Omer, 1613–14, 2 vols. 4to; 2nd edit. 1632. 5. ‘Life of St. Ignatius of Loyola,’ St. Omer, 1616, 12mo: a translation of Ribadeneyra which was often reprinted.
[The sources of Walpole's biography are referred to or quoted at large in ‘One Generation of a Norfolk House,’ by the present writer, Norwich, 1878, 4to. Some few unimportant additions to the information there collected will be found in Foley's Records of the English Province, and in his Collectanea.]

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1927 supplement/Brooke, Charles Anthony Johnson

​BROOKE, Sir CHARLES ANTHONY JOHNSON (1829-1917), second raja of Sarawak, was born at Berrow, Somerset, 3 June 1829, being the second son of the Rev. Francis Charles Johnson, vicar of White Lackington, by his wife, Emma Frances Brooke, sister of the first raja, Sir James Brooke [q.v.]. From the grammar school at Crewkerne he entered the royal navy in 1842, and after ten years, spent mostly afloat, resigned his commission and joined Sir James Brooke, who in 1841 had assumed the government of Sarawak and the title of raja.
For more than twelve years Charles Johnson lived amongst the head-hunting tribes, the erstwhile pirates of Sekrang and Sarebas. By instinct a leader of men, his high courage and physical activity quickly won him the respect and attachment of this warlike people. The Chinese insurrection of 1857 was a test of the stability of the raja’s rule. It afforded a striking proof of loyalty on the part of his native subjects, and the timely arrival at Kuching of Charles Johnson with the Dayaks, who had readily rallied to his call, brought about a speedy suppression of the rebellion. During the latter part of his uncle’s reign, Charles Johnson acted as heir-apparent, and much administrative responsibility passed into his hands. On the death of the raja in 1868 he succeeded to the title, and added to his own the surname of Brooke.
Progress and development marked the reign of the second raja. He built surely and well on the foundation laid by his uncle, abolishing slavery, and devoting his energies to the advancement of agriculture and education. In 1888 he was created G.C.M.G., and by treaty with Great Britain secured protection against foreign aggression and full recognition of the internal independence of Sarawak. The rebuilding of Kuching, the construction of roads, waterworks, wireless installations, and a railway were further achievements which helped to lift the country from poverty and primitive savagery to the prosperous level of a modern state. Although he occupied the position of an untrammelled despot, his sole ambition was the well-being of his subjects. For nearly seventy years he laboured on their behalf, and the little nation thus built up stands as a remarkable monument to his memory.
Leaving Sarawak in 1916, he died at his English home, Chesterton House, Cirencester, 17 May 1917, and was buried beside the first raja at Sheepstor, Devonshire. He married in 1869 Margaret Lili, daughter of Clayton de Windt, of Blunsdon Hall, Highworth, Wiltshire, by whom he had five sons and one daughter; he was succeeded as raja by his eldest surviving son, Charles Vyner Brooke.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1901 supplement/Dalyell, Robert Anstruther

​DALYELL, Sir ROBERT ANSTRUTHER (1831–1890), Indian civilian, born on 5 May 1831, was the elder son of John Dalyell (d. 7 Oct. 1843) of Lingo in Fife, provost of Cupar, by his wife Jane (d. 13 March 1865), eldest daughter of Brigadier-general Robert Anstruther [q. v.] and great-granddaughter of James Douglas, fourth duke of Hamilton [q. v.] He entered Cheltenham college in Aug. 1842, and afterwards studied at the East India Company's college at Haileybury. He then entered the Madras civil service, landing at Madras on 1 Jan. 1851. In 1861 he was nominated under-secretary to the board of revenue at Madras, and in 1867 became chief secretary. In 1866 he edited the standing orders of the Madras board of revenue, and as secretary of the central relief committee in the famine of 1865-6 he compiled the report which was subsequently published as the official guide for all similar operations in southern India. In 1868 he was promoted to the secretaryship of the Madras government revenue department; in 1873 he was made a member of the board of revenue and chief secretary to the Madras government. Having been appointed to conduct a special inquiry into excise, with the rank of additional member of the board of revenue, he published a report in 1874 which secured his career. His researches extended over Madras, Mysore, the Punjab, and the north-west provinces, and his report gained him the thanks of the secretary of state. It contained suggestions that were adopted as the basis of the excise system throughout a large part of southern India. In 1875–6 he was chief commissioner of Mysore, where he dealt successfully with the distress prevalent before the famine of 1877, and he represented Madras in the legislative council of India from 1873 to 1877. On 1 Nov. 1877 he was appointed a member of the council of the secretary of state for India, and in 1883–4 he was vice-president of the council. He retired in February 1879, and on 29 July was nominated C.S.I. He took an active part in organising the Health Exhibition in 1884, and was royal commissioner to the Colonial Exhibition of 1886. In 1885 he received the honorary degree of LL.D. from St. Andrews University, and on 15 Feb. 1887 he was nominated K.C.I. E. on the enlargement of the order. He died unmarried at the New Club, Edinburgh, on 18 Jan. 1890, and was buried at St. Andrews on 23 Jan. in the cathedral burial-ground. He was captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, and in 1869 was elected a member of the Royal Statistical Society of London.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1901 supplement/Davies, William (1814-1891)

​DAVIES, WILLIAM (1814–1891), palaeontologist, born at Holy well, Flintshire, on 13 July 1814, was the son of Thomas Davies by his wife Elizabeth Turner. After going to school in his native town, he studied botany, and on 19 Dec. 1843 obtained a post in the British Museum, working at first on mineralogy, but afterwards devoting himself to vertebrate palaeontology. In this he not only acquired great technical knowledge as to the best methods of developing and preserving delicate specimens, but also was pronounced to be 'one of its most accomplished students.' He took an active part in the rearrangement of the national collection in 1880 when it was transferred from Bloomsbury to the new buildings in Cromwell Road, and gave most valuable assistance to Sir Antonio Brady [q. v.] in collecting and describing the mammalian remains found near Ilford. In 1887 he retired on a pension from the museum, and died at his residence, Colliers End, Hertford, on 13 Feb. 1891. He was twice married, the maiden name of the first wife being Bradford, by whom he had one son, Thomas Davies [q. v. Suppl.], and one daughter.
William Davies received the Murchison medal from the Geological Society in 1873 (first award), and became a fellow in 1877. He disliked literary composition, so that his scientific papers are not numerous, about fifteen in all, mostly contributed to the 'Geological Magazine,' and he published a ' Catalogue of the Pleistocene Vertebrata in the Collection of Sir Antonio Brady; 'but his extensive knowledge was ever at the service of others, for he was one of those men who cared more for the advancement of science than of himself.
