​WILLIAMS. (Lieut., 1815. f-p., 25; h-p., 20.)
Thomas Mark Williams entered the Navy, in 1802, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Northumberland 74, Capt. (afterwards Rear-Admiral) Hon. Sir Alex. Cochrane, stationed off Ferrol. In June, 1805, having proceeded to the West Indies in pursuit of a French squadron which had escaped from Rochefort, he there removed as Midshipman to the Circe 32, Capts. Jonas Rose, Joseph Spear, and Hugh Pigot. In that frigate he assisted at the capture, in Dec. 1807, and March, 1808, of the Danish islands and of the island of Marie-galante. In Dec. 1808, after he had been for a few weeks employed with Capt. Pigot in the Captain 74, he rejoined Sir Alex. Cochrane on board the Neptune 98, commanded by Capt. Chas. Dilkes. He returned to England in the early part of 1809 in the Achates 14, Capt. Thos. Pinto; he served from May in that year until Aug. 1810 at Portsmouth in the Gladiator 44, Lieut.-Commander John Price; and he then joined in succession the Dragon 74, flag-ship of Sir Fras. Laforey, the Statira 38, Capt. C. Dilkes, the Dragon again, and the Castor 32, Capt. Dilkes, all on his former station, the West Indies; whence he accompanied the officer last mentioned to the Mediterranean. In July, 1814, at which period he had been for two years and four months discharging the duties of Master’s Mate, he sailed in the Havannah 36, Capt. Gawen Wm. Hamilton, for the coast of North America, for the purpose of joining the Tonnant 80, bearing the flag of his patron Sir A. Cochrane. In command of a pinnace belonging to the latter ship we find him participating in much arduous service up the Chesapeake; and present also, 14 Dec. 1814, with the boats of a squadron under Capt. Nicholas Lockyer, at the capture, on Lake Borgne, of five American gun-vessels under Commodore Jones, whose resistance was protracted until the British had sustained a loss of 17 men killed and 77 wounded. While on Lake Borgne he for many weeks never slept out of his boat. For his activity and promptitude of conduct in the execution of his duty he frequently received the thanks of his superiors. He was made Lieutenant, 20 Feb. 1815, on a death-vacancy, into the Thames, armée en flûte, Capts. Hon. Chas. Leonard Irby and Wm. Walpole. He returned home in her from the West Indies in Aug. 1816; and he was employed afterwards – from Dec. 1820 until 1822, in the Seringapatam 46, Capt. Sam. Warren, on the Lisbon and Mediterranean stations – from 10 June, 1824, until the commencement of 1831, in the Coast Blockade as a Supernumerary-Lieutenant of the Ramillies 74 and Hyperion 42, Capts. Wm. M‘Culloch and Wm. Jas. Mingaye – and from 16 March, 1831, until the summer of 18.33 in the Coast Guard.
During the war Lieut. Williams frequently distinguished himself in cutting-out expeditions in the West Indies and Mediterranean. He has published a lithographic drawing, executed by himself, representing the gallant attack upon the enemy’s vessels on Lake Borgne.

​WILLIS. (Lieut., 1809. f-p., 12; h-p., 32.)
James Wyndham Willis entered the Navy, 16 March, 1803, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Hydra 38, Capt. Geo. Mundy, employed in the Channel ​and Mediterranean. In March, 1805, ho was lent to the Phoebe frigate; he was subsequently taken prisoner and detained for three months at the island of Majorca. Rejoining the Hydra in April, 1806, he was in her, during the next three years and four months, engaged in a variety of service on the coasts of Spain and Portugal. On 7 Aug. 1807, with the assistance of her boats, the Hydra obtained possession, in a very gallant manner, of three armed polacres (the Prince Eugène of 16 guns and 130 men, Belle Caroline of 10 guns and 40 men, and Rosario of 4 guns and 20 men) lying in the narrow harbour of Begu, on the coast of Catalonia, under the fierce defence of a battery mounting 4 26-pounders, of a tower, and of a considerable land force. After serving for a short time under Lord Collingwood in the Ville de Paris 110, Mr. Willis was made Lieutenant, 13 Dec. 1809, into the Conqueror 74, Capt. Edw. Fellowes; he invalided home from the Mediterranean in June, 1811; and he was appointed next – 24 March, 1812, to the Stirling Castle 74, Capts. Sir Jahleel Brenton and Augustus Brine, employed in the Channel and off Rochefort – 2 April, 1813, to the Mosquito sloop, Capt. Jas. Tomkinson, stationed in the West Indies, and on the coast of Brazil – and 24 Nov. 1813, to the Charybdis sloop, Capt. Jas. Clephan, under whom he shared in the attack on New Orleans. He has been on half-pay since 24 Aug. 1815.

MOSEBY, MARY WEBSTER,
Wife of John G. Moseby, Esq., of Richmond, Virginia, was gifted with poetic genius of no ordinary power. Her only published work was of undoubted merit, "Pocahontas, a Legend; with Historical and Traditional Notes;" issued in 1840. She also wrote for periodicals, and was highly esteemed for her virtues and literary accomplishments. Deeply versed in the holy Scriptures, and giving much time to Biblical researches, she was always at home on religious topics; and fervent piety was the loveliest attribute of her genius. Her father was Mr. Robert Pleasants, and she was connected by blood with the Randolph family. Mrs. Moseby died in Richmond city in 1844, aged fifty-two.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Montpensier, Jacquelin Longvic, Duchess de

Layout 2
MONTPENSIER, JACQUELIN LONG VIC, DUCHESS DE,
Was the youngest daughter of John de Longvic, lord of Guny, and was married, in 1588, to Louis de Bourbon, the second of the name, Duke de Montpensier. She was a lady of great merit, and a favourite of Catharine de Medicis; and had she lived, she might have, by her counsels, prevented many of the cruel deeds of this princess; but she died in 1561. She openly avowed, in her last illness, what her husband had long suspected, that she was a Protestant; and two of her daughters professed the same faith.
Thuanus praises this lady for her talents, prudence, and masculine understanding. She was intelligent and skilful in the affairs of government, and always solicitous for the public tranquillity. It was to her that the Archbishop of Vienna addressed himself, when, foreseeing the ruin of the princes of the blood, during the reign of Francis the Second, he told her that if she kept not her promise of opposing the house of Guise, all was lost. It was by her influence with Catharine de Medicis, that Michael de l'Hôpital was made Chancellor of France. "Had this been the only meritorious action of her life," says Bayle, "it ought to have consecrated her memory. No other person could have afforded, in so dangerous a conjuncture, ​an equal support to the monarchy." The duchess also contributed to the preservation of the life of the Prince de Condé.

Layout 2
MOTT, LUCRETIA,
Widely known for her philanthropy, and distinguished as a preacher among her own sect of "Friends," or "Quakers," is a native of the Island of Nantucket, Massachusetts. Her parents were Thomas and Anna Coffin; the latter, born Folger, was related to Dr. Franklin. Lucretia was in childhood instructed to make herself useful to her mother, who, in the absence of her husband, had the charge of his mercantile affairs. In 1804, when she was about eleven years old, her parents removed to Boston, where she had the advantage of attending one of the public schools. At the age of thirteen, she was sent to a "Friends' boarding-school," in the State of New York, where she remained three years, during the last year being employed as an assistant teacher; which shows how great her proficiency and faithfulness must have been. Her parents had, meantime, removed to Philadelphia; there she joined them, and at the age of eighteen was married to James Mott, who also belonged to the "Society of Friends," and subsequently entered into mercantile partnership with her father. Thus early was Mrs, Mott settled in life; and it is but justice to her to state, that she has been attentive to discharge well the womanly duties devolved on her—has been the mother of six children, five of whom are living, and do credit to their mother's former care. She has also, in the chances and changes of an American merchant's life, been called to help her husband in the support of their family; and she did it, as a good wife does, willingly, with her whole heart. But these duties did not engross all her time; her active mind, directed ​and developed by the peculiar teachings of her sect, took a wider range than has yet been usual with her sex.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Mother Anna, or Ann of Saxony

Layout 2
MOTHER ANNA, or ANN OF SAXONY,
Was the daughter of Christian the Third, King of Denmark. She was born in the year 1631, and as the only daughter of her mother, Dorothea, became the idol of her heart. But the queen, convinced that the best interest of her child must be promoted by ​a course of education, which was calculated to make her not only fit to be called a princess, bat also a housewife and a Christian, confided her religious training to the worthy chaplain, and caused her to be instructed in all domestic duties, even such as arc now called menial In some circles of society.
In 1548 she married the Elector August of Saxony, and became the mother of fifteen children, eleven of whom she buried before they had attained a mature age. Soon after her marriage, she devoted herself with all her energy to the mental and moral improvement of her subjects. On all occasions she set them an example of Christian faith, resignation, and patience, often sacrificing her own pleasures and comforts to the welfare and happiness of the people; and so fully were they aware of it, that they called her only the mother of the country.
But while she, unitedly with her husband, endeavoured to raise the standard of education, by multiplying schools, and that of morals, by increasing the number of the churches, she neglected not the principal condition of the people. Waste lands were cultivated by her directions, and on one occasion she headed the pioneers, with a spade in her hand, in order to encourage them in a task which was new, and apparently unpromising to them.
She devoted much of her time to the study of chemistry, natural philosophy, and botany; and endeavoured, on all occasions, to make her knowledge contribute to the happiness of her people, and the improvement of their lands. She aided her husband in welcoming and supporting the Dutch exiled cloth and cotton weavers, who had been driven from their homes by religious persecution; and they, in their turn, contributed to perfect their own manufacturers.
She accompanied her husband upon his travels, and then they were always provided with the best seed for raising fruit, which they distributed among the people. She induced her husband to pass a law, that every new-married couple must plant and graft two fruit trees during the first year of their marriage. Everywhere she established schools, apothecaries, and botanical gardens. She was also an exemplary housewife, who did not consider it beneath her to attend to the smallest matters in housekeeping.
She fell a victim to her benevolence and Christian duties, during the prevalence of the plague, and died on the 1st. of October, 1585. The lower classes of Saxony still speak of her only by the name of Mother Anna,
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Morata, Olympia Fulvia

Layout 2
MORATA, OLYMPIA FULVIA,
Was born at Ferrara, in 1526. Her father, preceptor to the young Princes of Ferrara, sons of Alphonsus the First, observing her genius, took great pains in cultivating it. Olympia was called to court for the purpose of studying belles-lettres with the Princess of Ferrara, where she astonished the Italians by declaiming in Latin and Greek, explaining the paradoxes of Cicero, and answering any question that was put to her. Her father's death, and the ill health of her mother, withdrew her from court, and she devoted herself to household affairs, and the education of her three sisters and a brother. A young German, named Andrew Grunthler, who had studied medicine, and taken his doctor's degree at Ferrara, married her, and took her, with her little brother, to Germany.
They went to Schweinfurt, in Franconia, which was soon after besieged and burnt, and they barely escaped with their lives. The hardships they suffered in consequence, caused Morata's death in the course of a few months. She died in 1555, in the Protestant faith, which she had embraced on her coming to Germany. Several of her works were burnt at Schweinfurt, but the remainder were collected and published at Basil, 1558, by Coeluis Secundus Curio. They consist of orations, dialogues, letters, and translations.

A native of Barcelona, was born in 1595. Her father being obliged to leave Spain for a homicide, fled to Lyons, where he taught his daughter so well, that at the age of twelve, she publicly maintained theses in philosophy. In her tenth year, she is said to have held a public disputation in the Jesuit's College at Lyons. She was profoundly skilled in philosophy, divinity, music, jurisprudence, and philology. She entered into the convent of St Praxedia, at Avignon.

​Fifth argument taken from the nature and use of rewards and punishments in societyV. A fifth argument to prove man a necessary agent, is as follows: If man was not a necessary agent, determin’d by pleasure and pain, there would be no foundation for rewards and punishments, which are the essential supports of society.
For if men were not necessarily determin’d by pleasure and pain, or if pleasure and pain were no causes to determine mens wills; of what use would be the prospect of rewards to frame a man’s will to the observation of the law, or punishments to hinder his transgression thereof? Were pain, as such, eligible, and pleasure, as such, avoidable; rewards and punishments could be no motives to a man, to make him do or forbear any action. But if pleasure and pain have a necessary effect on men, and if it be impossible for men not to chuse what seems good to them, and not to a ​void what seems evil; the necessity of rewards and punishments is then evident, and rewards will be of use to all those who conceive those rewards to be pleasure, and punishments will be of use to all those who conceive them to be pain: and rewards and punishments will frame those mens wills to observe, and not transgress the laws.
Besides, since there are so many robbers, murderers, whoremasters, and other criminals, who notwithstanding the punishments threatn’d, and rewards promis’d, by laws; prefer breaking the laws as the greater good or lesser evil, and reject conformity to them as the greater evil or lesser good: how many more would there be, and with what disorders would not all societies be fill’d, if rewards and punishments, consider’d as pleasure and pain, did not determine some mens wills, but that, instead thereof, all men could prefer or will, punishment consider’d as pain, and reject rewards consider’d as pleasure? men would then be under no restraints.

​TUCKERMAN, Samuel Parkman, Mus.D., born at Boston, Mass., U.S., Feb. 17 [App. p.804 "Feb. 11"], 1819. At an early age he received instruction in church music and organ-playing from Charles Zeuner. From 1840, and for some years after, he was organist and director of the choir in St. Paul's Church, Boston, and during that time published two collections of Hymn Tunes and Anthems, 'The Episcopal Harp' (chiefly original compositions) and 'The National Lyre,' the latter with S. A. Bancroft, and Henry K. Oliver. In 1849 he went to England, to make himself thoroughly acquainted with the English cathedral school of church music, both ancient and modern. For the first two years he pursued his studies in London, and afterwards resided in Canterbury, York, Durham, Winchester and Salisbury, in each of them devoting himself to his favourite study. For about two years Dr. Tuckerman lived at Windsor, and enjoyed the advantage of daily attendance at the services in St. George's Chapel. In 1853 he took the Lambeth degree of Doctor of Music, and then returned to the United States, and resumed his connection with St. Paul's Church in his native city. He lectured upon 'Church Music in the Old World and the New,' and gave several public performances of cathedral and church music from the 4th to the 19th century. In 1856 he returned to England, and remained four years. During this interval he made large additions to his musical library, which at present contains about 2000 volumes, many of them rare and valuable works. It includes many full scores and a large and valuable collection of motets, anthems, and services, both ancient and modern, of the Italian and English schools.
