​VOORHEES, DANIEL WOLSEY (1827–1897), American lawyer and political leader, was born in Butler county, Ohio, on the 26th of September 1827, of Dutch and Irish descent. During his infancy his parents removed to Fountain county, Indiana, near Veedersburg. He graduated at Indiana Asbury (now De Pauw) University, Greencastle, Indiana, in 1849; was admitted to the bar in 1850, and began to practise in Covington, Indiana, whence in 1857 he removed to Terre Haute. In 1858–60 he was U.S. district-attorney for Indiana; in 1861–66 and in 1869–73 he was a Democratic representative in Congress; and in 1877–97 he was a member of the U.S. Senate. During the Civil War he seems to have been affiliated with the Knights of the Golden Circle, but he was not so radical as Vallandigham and others. He was a member of the committee on finance throughout his service in the Senate, and his first speech in that body was a defence of the free coinage of silver and a plea for the preservation of the full legal tender value of greenback currency, though in 1893 he voted to repeal the silver purchase clause of the Sherman Act. He had an active part in bringing about the building of the new Congressional Library. He was widely known as an effective advocate, especially in jury trials. In allusion to his unusual stature he was called “the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash.” He died in Washington, D.C., on the 10th of April 1897.
Some of his speeches were published under the title, Forty Years of Oratory (2 vols., Indianapolis, Indiana, 1898), edited by his three sons and his daughter, Harriet C. Voorhees, and with a biographical sketch by T. B. Long.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Volute

See also Volute on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​VOLUTE (Lat. volutum, volvere, to roll up), in architecture, the spiral scroll of the capital of the Ionic order. As in the earliest example known, that of the archaic temple of Diana at Ephesus, the width of the abacus is twice that of the depth, constituting therefore a bracket-capital; it is probable that at first it consisted of an oblong block of timber, which, raised on a vertical post or column, lessened the bearing of the architrave or beam, and the first volutes or scrolls were painted on. In votive columns carrying a sphinx, as at Delphi, or statues, the oblong form of capital with largely developed volutes was long retained, but in the porticoes of the Greek temples the abacus was made square and the volute diminished in projection on each side. In the side elevation the portion of the capital which joins the two volutes is known as the cushion, and when the Ionic column was used in porticoes in the capitals of the angle columns the volute was brought out on the diagonal, so as to present the same design on front and side; this, however, at the back led to a very awkward arrangement with two half volutes at right angles to one another, which was not of much importance under the portico, but when, in the open peristyle of the Pompeian house, it faced the open court, another design was necessary, and the angle volute was employed on all four sides. A similar arrangement was devised by Ictinus for the capitals in the interior of the temple at Bassae (430 B.C.), and was employed in the semidetached columns of the raised stage at Epidaurus. The Romans adopted the angle volute in the temple of Fortuna Virilis at Rome, but, except in their porticoes and as semidetached between arches, the Ionic order was rarely employed by them, and few Roman examples are known.
The architects of the Revival in the 16th century entirely misunderstood the origin and meaning of the volutes (the upper fillet of which was always carried horizontally across under the abacus in Greek and Roman work), and mistook them for horns, which they turned down into the echinus moulding.

​VON HOLST, HERMANN EDUARD (1841–1904), German-American historian, was born at Fellin in the province of Livonia, on the 19th of June 1841. He was educated at the universities of Dorpat and Heidelberg, receiving his doctor’s degree from the latter in 1865. He emigrated to America in 1867, remaining there until 1872. He was professor of history in the newly reorganized university of Strassburg from 1872 to 1874, and at Freiburg in Baden from 1874 to 1892, and for ten years he was a member of the Baden Herrenhaus, and vice-president for four. He revisited the United States in 1878–79 and in 1884, and in 1892 he became head of the department of history at the university of Chicago. Retiring on account of ill-health in 1900, he returned to Germany and died at Freiburg on the 20th of January 1904. Both through his books and through his lectures at the university of Chicago, Von Holst exerted a powerful influence in encouraging American students to follow more closely the German methods of historical research. His principal work is his Constitutional and Political History of the United States (German ed., 5 vols., 1873–91; English trans. by Lalor and Mason, 8 vols., 1877–92), which covers the period from 1783 to 1861, though more than half of it is devoted to the decade 1850–60; it is written from a strongly anti-slavery point of view. Among his other writings are The Constitutional Law of the United States of America (German ed., 1885; English trans., 1887); John C. Calhoun (1882), in the American Statesmen Series; John Brown (1888), and The French Revolution Tested by Mirabeau’s Career (1894).

# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Vonones

See also Vonones I and Vonones II on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​VONONES (on coins Onones), the name of two Parthian kings.
(1) Vonones I., eldest son of Phraates IV. After the assassination of Orodes II. (c. A.D. 7), the Parthians applied to Augustus for a new king from the house of Arsaces. Augustus sent them Vonones (Mon. Anc. 5, 9; Tac. Ann. ii. 1 f.; Joseph. Ant. xviii. 2, 4), who was living as a hostage in Rome. But Vonones could not maintain himself; he had been educated as a Roman, and was despised as a slave of the Romans. Another member of the Arsacid house, Artabanus II., who was living among the Dahan nomads, was invited to the throne, and defeated and expelled Vonones. The coins of Vonones (who always uses his proper name) date from A.D. 8–12, those of Artabanus II. begin in A.D. 10. Vonones fled into Armenia and became king here. But Artabanus demanded his deposition, and as Augustus did not wish to begin a war with the Parthians he removed Vonones into Syria, where he was kept in custody (Tac. Ann. ii. 4). When he tried to escape, A.D. 19, he was killed by his guards (Tac. Ann. ii. 58, 68).
(2) Vonones II., governor of Media, was raised to the throne after the death of Gotarzes in A.D. 51 (perhaps he was his brother, cf. Joseph. Ant. xx. 3, 4). But he died after a few months, and was succeeded by his son Vologaeses I. (Tac. Ann. xii. 14).  (Ed. M.)

# A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Parthenai, (Anne de)

The protectress of learning, and the delight of every society into which she entered, Anne de Parthenai had a fine voice, and knew music perfectly. She understood Greek and Latin, and took great pleasure in conversing with theologians, and reading the scriptures, which induced her to turn protestant. We are ignorant of the time of her death.
F. C.
# A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Parthenai, (Catherine de)

PARTHENAI (CATHERINE DE), Niece of the preceding; Daughter and heiress of John de Parthenai, Seigneur de Soubise.
She had a turn for poetry; as appears from some poems published in 1572, when she was not above eighteen years of age. She is generally thought to be the author of the apology for Henry IV. which was printed as hers in the new edition of her journal of Henry III. Daubigny assures us, that the king shewed it him as a piece written in her stile. Bayle declares, that whoever wrote it, is a person of wit and genius. It is in reality a very sharp satire. Catherine wrote also tragedies and comedies, which have not been printed; and the tragedy of Holofernes, which was represented on the theatre at Rochelle, in 1754.
​When only 14 years of age, she married Charles de Quellence, baron de Pont, in Britainy, who, upon the marriage, took the name of Soubise; under which name he is mentioned with honour in the second and third civil wars in France, and fell in the general massacre of St. Bartholomew, 1571, after fighting valiantly for his life.
His wife wrote several elegies, deploring her loss; to which she added some on the death of the admiral, and other illustrious personages.
She married secondly, 1573, Renatus, viscount Rohan, the second of that name, who dying 1586, though she was not yet above 32 years of age, she resolved to spend the remainder of her life in the education of her children.
Her eldest son was the famous duke de Rohan, who asserted the protestant cause with so much vigour, during the civil wars in the reign of Lewis XIII. Her second the duke of Soubise. She had also three daughters, Henrietta, who died in 1629; Catherine, who married a duke of Deux Fonts in 1605, and whose beauty having attracted the eyes of Henry IV. when he declared his passion, she immediately replied, "I am too poor to be your wife, and too nobly born to be your mistress."
Her third daughter was Anne, who survived all her brothers and sisters, and inherited both her genius and magnanimous spirit. She lived unmarried with her mother, and with her bore all the calamities of the siege of Rochelle. The daughter's resolution was remarkable, but the mother's more, as she was then in her 75th year. They were reduced for three months to the necessity of living upon horse-flesh, and four ounces of bread a day. Yet ​notwithstanding this dismal situation, she wrote to her son to go on as he had begun, and not let the consideration of the extremity to which she was reduced prevail upon him to make him act any thing to the prejudice of his party, how great soever her sufferings might be. In short, she and her daughter refused to be included in the articles of capitulation, and remained prisoners of war. They were conveyed to the castle of Niort, 1628, and she died there 1631, aged 77.

# A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Parisatis

PARISATIS, Wife of Darius Ochus, and Mother of Artaxerxes Mnemon, Kings of Persia.
She had also another son, Cyrus the Younger, who was her favourite, and whom she incited to revolt from his brother, fighting against whom he fell, 401 B. C. Parisatis, who is famous for the refinement of her cruelty, punished in the most severe manner all who had served as the instruments of Artaxerxes in destroying his brother. She also poisoned Statira, the wife of Artaxerxes, of whose influence on the mind of her husband she was jealous; but, by the defection of her confidant, was discovered, and confined by her son at Babylon, where she requested to reside: he told her also, that wherever she went, he would never come.

# A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Parry, (Blanch)

PARRY (BLANCH), Daughter of Henry Parry, of Newcourt, Herefordshire, Esq; born 1508.
As a lover of antiquities, she must not be excluded from the catalogue of famous women. She generously communicated to that learned antiquarian Dr. Powell, Sir Edward Stradling's manuscript history of The Winning of Glamorgan, or Morgannwe, out of the Welchmen's Hands, &c. which is published by the doctor, in his valuable, and now scarce, history of the Welch princes; and likewise procured of queen Elizabeth, for that famous mathematician Dr. John Dee, the grant of the mastership of St. Crosse's, when he was in distress.
She drew up a pedigree of the Parry family, which shews her taste for those studies, and the gentility of her descent.
In Westminster Abbey, on the south side of the chancel, is the following inscription:
"Here under is intombed Blanch Parry, daughter to Henry Parry, of New-Court, within the county of Hereford, Esq; chief gentlewoman of queen Elizabeth's most honourable privy chamber, and keeper of her majesty's jewels, whom she faithfully served from her highnesses birth; and beneficial to her kinsfolk and countrymen, charitable to the poore, insomuch that she gave to the poore of Bacton and Newton, in Herefordshire, seven-score bushels of wheat and rye yearly, with divers summes of money to Westminster and other places, for good uses. She died a maid, in the 82d year of her age, the 12th of February, 1589."
In her will, written by the treasurer Burleigh's own ​hand, among other legacies, is 500£. for an almshouse at Bacton.

# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Wayland, Francis

See also Francis Wayland on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​WAYLAND, FRANCIS (1796–1865), American educationist, was born in New York City on the 11th of March 1796. His father was an Englishman of the same name, who was a Baptist pastor. The son graduated at Union College in 1813 and studied medicine in Troy and in New York City, but in 1816 entered Andover Theological Seminary, where he was greatly influenced by Moses Stuart. He was too poor to conclude his course in theology, and in 1817–1821 was a tutor at Union College, to which after five years as pastor of the First Baptist Church of Boston he returned in 1826 as professor of natural philosophy. In 1827 he became president of Brown University. In the twenty-eight years of his administration he gradually built up the college, improving academic discipline, formed a library and gave scientific studies a more prominent place. He also worked for higher educational ideals outside the college, writing text-books on ethics and economics, and promoting the free school system of Rhode Island and especially (1828) of Providence. His Thoughts on the Present Collegiate System in the United States (1842) and his Report to the Corporation of Brown University of 1850 pointed the way to educational reforms, particularly the introduction of industrial courses, which were only partially adopted in his lifetime. He resigned the presidency of Brown in 1855, and in 1857–1858 was pastor of the First Baptist Church of Providence. He died on the 30th of September 1865. He was an early advocate of the temperance and antislavery causes, for many years was “inspector of the state prison and Providence county jail,” president of the Prison Discipline Society, and active in prison reform and local charities. He was one of the “law and order” leaders during the “Dorr Rebellion” of 1842, and was called “the first citizen of Rhode Island.” His son Francis (1826–1904) graduated at Brown in 1846, and studied law at Harvard; he became probate judge in Connecticut in 1864, was lieutenant-governor in 1869–1870, and in 1872 became a professor in the Yale Law School, of which he was dean from 1873 to 1903.
Besides several volumes of sermons and addresses and the volumes already mentioned, he published Elements of Moral Science (1835, repeatedly revised and translated into foreign languages); Elements of Political Economy (1837), in which he advocated free-trade; The Limitations of Human Responsibility (1838); Domestic Slavery Considered as a Scriptural Institution (1845); Memoirs of Harriet Ware (1850); Memoirs of Adoniram Judson (1853); Elements of Intellectual Philosophy (1854); Notes on the Principles and Practices of Baptist Churches (1857); Letters on the Ministry of the Gospel (1863): and a brief Memoir of Thomas Chalmers (1864).

​WAVERLY, a village of Tioga county. New York, U.S.A., about 18 m. S.E. of Elmira, on the Cayuta Creek, near the Chemung and the Susquehanna rivers, which unite several miles S. of the village. Pop. (1800) 4123; (1900) 4465, of whom 295 were foreign-born; (1905) 4915; (1910) 4855. It is served by the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, the Erie and the Lehigh Valley railways. With South Waverly (pop. in 1910 1084)—separated from Waverly only by the state line and really a part of the village—Sayre, and Athens, Pennsylvania, it is connected by electric railway and the three form practically an industrial unit. Waverly is also connected by electric line with Elmira. The village is a railway centre of some importance, distributes coal from the Wyoming Valley mines, and ships the dairy products of a large farming district and small fruits and garden products. Waverly was settled about 1804 by settlers from Connecticut and the Hudson River Valley, and was incorporated as a village in 1854.
