Dewing v. Sears
The contract in these cases was for the payment or delivery of a specified weight of pure gold, solvable in coined money. They are, therefore, governed by the decisions heretofore made by this court in Bronson v. Rodes, and Butler v. Horwitz. It follows that the judgments entered in the Superior Court were erroneous. They should have been entered for coined dollars and parts of dollars, instead of treasury notes equivalent in market value to the value in coined money of the stipulated weight of pure gold.
JUDGMENT in each case REVERSED, and the causes remanded with instructions to enter judgment in accordance with the
FOREGOING OPINION.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Billington, Thomas

​BILLINGTON, THOMAS (d. 1832), a native of Exeter, was a well-known harpsichord and singing master towards the close of the eighteenth century. On 6 April 1777 he was elected a member of the Royal Society of Musicians. His brother James (the husband of Mrs. Billington [q. v.]) was elected a member of the same society on 6 Jan. 1782. A third brother, Horace, was an artist, and ​died at Glasshouse Street on 17 Nov. 1812. Billington was an industrious composer and compiler. His most remarkable productions are his settings of poems like Gray's ‘Elegy,’ Pope's ‘Eloisa,’ and parts of Young's ‘Night Thoughts’ to heterogeneous collections of his own and other composers' music. In one of these curious compilations he arranged Handel's Dead March in ‘Saul’ as a four-part glee, while Jomelli's ‘Chaconne’ figures as a song. Besides these works, Billington published several sets of instrumental trios, quartetts, and sonatas; and canzonets and ballads for one and more voices. During the greater part of his life he lived at 24 Charlotte Street, but towards 1825 he removed to Sunbury, Middlesex. He died at Tunis in 1832.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Binckes, William

​BINCKES, WILLIAM (d. 1712), dean of Lichfield, was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1674, was elected to a fellowship at Peterhouse, and took the degree of M.A. in 1678. He was instituted to the prebend of Nassington, in the church of Lincoln, 2 May 1683, and to that of Basset Parva, in the church of Lichfield, 15 July 1697. In 1699 he took the degree of D.D. On 30 Jan. 1701, being then proctor of the diocese of Lichfield, he preached before the lower house of convocation a sermon on the martyrdom of Charles I, in which he drew a parallel between it and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, maintaining that having regard to the superior dignity of a king of England in actual possession of his crown as compared with one who was merely an uncrowned king of the Jews, and moreover disclaimed temporal sovereignty, the execution at Whitehall was an act of greater enormity than was committed at Calvary. The sermon having been printed was brought to the notice of the House of Lords, and a suggestion was made that it should be publicly burned. The peers, however, contented themselves with resolving that it contained 'several expressions that give just scandal and offence to all christian people.' In 1703 he was installed dean of Lichfield (19 June). In 1705 he was appointed prolocutor to convocation. He died 19 June 1712, and was buried at Leamington, of which place he had been vicar. Dean Binckes built the existing deanery at Lichfield. He published his sermons between 1702 and 1716.

1904 Errata appended.
​BINDLEY, JAMES (1737–1818), book collector, second son of John Bindley, distiller, of St. John Street, Smithfield, was born in London on 16 Jan. 1737. He was educated at the Charterhouse under Dr. Crusius, and then proceeded to Peterhouse, Cambridge, where he was elected to a fellowship (B.A. 1759, M.A. 1762). In 1765 he succeeded his elder brother John as one of the commissioners of the stamp duties, and in that capacity he served the public for upwards of fifty-three years. He was the senior commissioner from 1781 until his death, which occurred at his house in Somerset Place on 11 Sept. 1818. A fine monument to his memory was erected in the church of St. Mary-le-Strand. At the time of his decease he was the 'father' of the Society of Antiquaries, having been elected a fellow in 1765. Bindley devoted his leisure to literary pursuits, and formed a valuable collection of rare books, engravings, and engravings, and medals, which were sold by auction after his death. He read every proof-sheet of Nichols's ‘Literary Anecdotes,’ which are dedicated to him, and of the subsequent 'Illustrations of the Literary History of the Eighteenth Century,' frequently suggesting useful emendations or adding explanatory notes. A similar service he rendered nearly at the close of his life to his friend Mr. Bray, in the publication of Evelyn's 'Diary.' The only work he himself published was 'A Collection of the Statutes now in force relating to the Stamp Duties,' London, 1775, 4to. His portrait is prefixed to the fourth volume of Nichols's 'Illustrations' (1822), and that volume is dedicated to his memory.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Billington, William

​BILLINGTON, WILLIAM (1827–1884), dialect writer, was born at the Yew Trees, Samlesbury, near Blackburn and was one of the three sons of a contractor for roadmaking. The father died when the boy was between seven and eight years of age, and in consequence he had little or no schooling, but as soon as possible entered upon factory life as a 'doffer.' In 1839 the family removed to Blackburn, and Billington passed through various stages of employment in the cotton mills, from 'doffer' to weaver and 'taper.' He was also for some time a publican. His intimate knowledge of the was of thought and speech of Lancashire wording people was turned to account in the period of the Lancashire cotton famine, when his homely rhymes were circidated in thousands of broadsides. Of the ballad of 'Th' Shurat Weyvur' 14,000 copies were sold in that time of distress. Another popular rhyme, 'Th' Tay and Rum Ditty,' usually attributed to him, was written by 'Adam Chester,' the pseudonym of Charles Rothwell. The most important of his sketches, in prose and verse, have been collected in two works, 'Sheen and Shade,' which appeared in 1861, and 'Lancashire Poems with other Sketches,' published in 1883, some copies of which have a photographic portrait. High literary merit cannot be claimed for Billington, but he is a faithful painter of the life of the district, and a certain philological value attaches to his representation of the East Lancashire dialect. He was twice married, and died on 1 Jan. 1884.

​ABUS (Άβος, Ptol. ii. 3. § 6: Humber), one of the principle rivers, or rather estuaries in the Roman province of Maxima Caesariensis in Britain, it receives many tributaries, and discharges itself into the German Ocean south of Ocelum Promontorium (Spurn Head). Its left bank was inhabited by the Celtic tribe, whom the Romans entitled Parisi, but according to a medieval poet cited by Camden, no great town or city anciently stood on its banks.[ W. B. D. ]
# Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography/Abus 1.

​ABUS (δΆυς) or ABA (Plin. v. 24. s. 20), a mountain in Armenia, forming a part of the E. prolongation of the Anti-Taurus chain, and separating the basins of the Araxes and of the Arsanias of the S. branch of the Euphrates (Murad). The latter of these great rivers rises on its S. side, and, according to Strabo, the former also rises on its N. side. According to this statement, the range must be considered to begin as far W. as the neighbourhood of Erzeroom, while it extends E. to the Araxes S. of Artaxata. Here it terminates in the great isolated peak, 17,210 feet high, and covered with perpetual snow, which an almost uniform tradition has pointed out as the Ararat of Scripture (Gen. viii. 4), and which is still called Ararat or Agri-Dagh, and, by the Persians, Kuh-i-Nuh (mountain of Noah): it is situated in 39° 42' N. lat., and 44° 35' E. long. The summit forms the culminating point of W. Asia. The chain itself is called Ala-dagh. (Strab. pp. 527, 591; Ptol. v. 13.)[ P. S. ]
# Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography/Abrauannus

​ABRAUANNUS (Αβραουάννος), Ptol. ii. 3. § 2), a river of Britannia Barbara, which discharges itself a little northward of the Promontorium Novantum, or Mull of Galloway into Luce-Bay. Abravannus is probably the stream which flows through Loch Ryan into the sea—Ab-Ryan, or the offspring of Ryan, being easily convertible into the Roman form of the word Ab-Ryan-us—Abravannus.[ W. B.

# Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography/Absy'rtides

​ABSY'RTIDES or APSY'RTIDES (Άψυρτίδες: Eth. Άψυρτευς, Άψυρτυς: Cherso and Osero), the name of two islands off the coast of Illyricum, so called because, according to one tradition, Absyrtus was slain here by his sister Medea and by Jason. Ptolemy mentions only one island Apsorrus (Άψορρος), on which he places two towns Crepsa (Κρεψα) and Apsorrus. (Strab. p. 315; Steph. Byz. s. v.; Mel. ii. 7; Plin. iii. 26; Ptol. ii. 16. § 13.)

Roman walls are still extant, and Roman remains still discovered at Abensberg.[ W. B. D. ]
# Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography/Aby'dus 1.

​ABY'DUS. 1. (ήΆβυδος, Abydum, Plin. v. 32: Eth. Άβυδηνός, Abydenus), a city of Mysia on the Hellespontus, nearly opposite Sestus on the European shore. It is mentioned as one of the towns in alliance with the Trojans. (Il. ii. 836.) Aidos or Avido, a modern village on the Hellespont, may be the site of Abydos, though the conclusion from a name is not certain. Abydos stood at the narrowest point of the Hellespontus, where the channel is only 7 stadia wide, and it had a small port. It was probably a Thracian town originally, but it became a Milesian colony. (Thuc. viii. 61.) At a point a little north of this town Xerxes placed his bridge of boats, by which his troops were conveyed across the channel to the opposite town of Sestus, B.C. 480. (Herod. vii. 33.) The bridge of boats extended, according to Herodotus, from Abydus to a promontory on the European shore, between Sestus and Madytus. The town possessed a small territory which contained some gold mines, but Strabo speaks of them as exhausted. It was burnt by Darius, the son of Hystaspes, after his Scythian expedition, for fear that the Scythians, who were said to be in pursuit of him, should take possession of it (Strab. p. 591); but it must soon have recovered from this calamity, for it was afterwards a town of some note; and Herodotus (v. 117) states that it was captured by the Persian general, Daurises, with other cities on the Hellespont (B.C. 498), shortly after the commencement of the Ionian revolt. In B.C. 411, Abydus revolted from Athens and joined Dercyllidas, the Spartan commander in those parts. (Thuc. viii. 62.) Subsequently, Abydus made a vigorous defence against Philip II., king of Macedonia, before it surrendered. On the conclusion of the war with Philip (B.C. 196), the Romans declared Abydus, with other Asiatic cities, to be free. (Liv. xxxiii. 30.) The names of Abydus and Sestus are coupled together in the old story of Hero and Leander, who is said to have swam across the channel to visit his mistress at Sestus. The distance between Abydus and Sestus, from port to port, was about 30 stadia, according to Strabo.
