# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Zerahemnah

​ZERAHEMNAH. A Lamanite general, who commanded the forces of that people, who, at the request of the apostate Zoramites occupied Antionum with the intention of attacking the Ammonites in the land of Jershon. Like most of the commanding officers of the Lamanite armies of that age, he was a Nephite dissenter (B. C. 74.)
Zerahemnah, finding that Moroni, the Nephite commander was too well prepared for their attack on the land of Jershon, retired through Antionum into the wilderness, where they changed direction and marched towards the head-waters of the river Sidon, with the intention of taking possession of the land of Manti. But Moroni was too vigilant to allow his enemies to slip away without knowing what had become of them. He had ​his spies watch the movements of Zerahemnah's forces, and in the meanwhile sent to Alma to inquire the mind and will of the Lord with regard to his future course. The word of the Lord was given to Alma, and he informed Moroni's messengers of the movements of the Lamanites. The young general, with becoming prudence, then divided his army. One corps he left to protect Jershon, and with the remainder he advanced by rapid marches towards Manti, by the most direct route. On his arrival he at once mustered all the men who could bear arms into his forces, to help in the defense of their liberties against the advancing foe. So rapid had been his movements and so prompt had been the response to his call that when the Lamanites reached the neighborhood of the Sidon he was prepared for their coming.
The battle which was fought when the opposing armies met was one of the most stubborn and bloody in Nephite history. Never from the beginning had the Lamanites been known to fight with such exceeding great strength and courage. Time after time their hosts rushed upon the well-ordered ranks of the Nephites, and notwithstanding the latter's armor they clove in their heads and cut off their arms. But the cost of these charges to their own numbers was terrible. The battle began at a hill called Riplah, and afterwards extended to both banks of the Sidon. At one time a lull took place in the carnage, and Moroni, who had no pleasure in shedding blood, made an offer of such terms of surrender as he considered the circumstances warranted. But Zerahemnah and other captains of the Lamanite hosts rejected the offer and urged their warriors to renewed resistance. So the battle recommenced with unabated fury. At last, however, Zerahemnah himself, to prevent the total annihilation of his armies, concented to the proposed terms of surrender and entered into the required covenant of peace. So ​great were the losses on both sides that the dead were not counted. After this fearful battle, we read no more of Zerahemnah.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Zemnarihah

​ZEMNARIHAH. A chief captain of the armies of the Gadianton robbers who, in A. C. 21, came up on all sides in great force and laid siege to the people of Nephi. This system of warfare was, however, unsuccessful, as the Nephites, who were gathered with their flocks, herds, provisions, etc., into one land, had laid up large stores of provisions, while the robbers had to subsist upon the game they could kill in the wilderness. The Nephites, therefore, adopted a policy of constantly harrassing the robbers, making sorties by day and by night in unexpected places, and inflicting great loss upon the forces of Zemnarihah. The results of this policy grew so disastrous that the robbers ultimately changed their tactics and made an effort to reach the land northward, but being enfeebled by want of food they were not able to act with sufficient rapidity. The Nephite general, ​Gidgiddoni, being apprised of their intention, headed them off on the north and cut off their retreat on the south. Finding themselves hemmed in, the robbers capitulated, and those who did not do so were slain. Among the prisoners was Zemnarihah, whom the Nephites hung on the top of a tree until he was dead, after which the tree was felled to the earth. The robbers who had been captured were cast into prison, and by and by the word of God was preached to them. Those who repented and covenanted to murder and rob no more were liberated, while those who remained obdurate were punished according to their crimes.

# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Zenephi

​ZENEPHI. A Nephite general who lived in the fourth century of the Christian era. He commanded an army in the war with the Lamanites, at the time that Mormon was commander-in-chief of the Nephite forces. He is mentioned but once in the sacred record, and then by Mormon in his second epistle to his son Moroni, when detailing the terrible condition of the people through the brutal manner in which the war was being conducted on both sides. The Spirit of the Lord having been withdrawn from both Nephites and Lamanites on account of their iniquities, all classes became brutal, sensual and devilish, and such a one, we are compelled to conclude, was Zenephi, from the brief account given of his treatment of the weak and suffering of his own nation.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Zenoch

​ZENOCH, or ZENOCK. A prophet of Israel, of whose personal history, or to what age he belonged, we know nothing. His writings were familiar to the Nephites, as he is quoted by Nephi, (I Nephi, 19:10), Alma, (Alma, 33:15), Amulek, (Alma, 34;7), Nephi, (Helaman, 8:20), and Mormon (III Nephi, 10:16).
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Ziff

​ZIFF. A metal, kind unknown, used by the artificers of king Noah in the land of Lehi-Nephi (Mosiah, 11:3, 8), The word ziff means, in the Hebrew, brightness—metallic brightness. (The word is used in Daniel, 2:31, also in Isaiah, 30:22, where it means overlaying metal.)
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Zenos

​ZENOS. A Hebrew prophet, often quoted by the Nephite servants of God. All we are told of his personal history is that he was slain because he testified boldly of what God revealed to him. That he was a man greatly blessed of the Lord with the spirit of prophecy is shown by that wonderful and almost incomparable parable of the Vineyard, given at length by Jacob (Jacob, chap. 5). His prophecies are also quoted by Nephi, (I Nephi, 19:10, 12, 16), Alma, (Alma, 33:3, 13, 15), Amulek, (Alma, 34:7), Samuel, the Lamanite, (Helaman, 15:11), and Mormon (III Nephi, 10:16).
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Zeram

​ZERAM. One of four Nephite officers, sent, with their men, by Alma, from the valley of Gideon to watch the movements of the defeated Amlicites, the evening after the great battle fought by them and the armies of the Nephites at the hill Amnihu, on the east side of the riyer Sidon. (B. C. 87). The next day they returned in great haste and reported that they h^d followed tfye Amlicites, until the latter had joined, in the land Minon, a numerous host of Lamanites, who were driving the Nephite inhabitants before them and marching rapidly towards the city of Zarahemla.

WERBURGA,
Was the wife of Ceolred, King of Mercia, who died after a reign of but eight years, and left no children. His widow then retired to a monastery, probably that in Holy Island, where she continued to reside up to the time of her death, which, in the chronicle of Roger de Hovenden, is thus pithily recorded:—"Werburga, formerly Queen of the Mercians, then abbess, ceased to live here that she might have fevour with Christ, Anno. 783."
Werburga was canonized as a saint, and her character is given in these words "Like the holy widow Anan, the prophetess, she never departed from the Lord's temple, serving God day and night, in abstinence and prayers, for the space of sixty-five years. For the latter part of that time she was abbess of the monastery, and shewed no less humility in governing others, than she had before in obeying.

Was the daughter of George Waldie, Esq., of Hendersyde Park Scotland. Before she was five years old she showed much fondness for drawing, and she very early painted landscapes in oil, which were greatly admired. She was almost wholly self-taught, yet her pictures, when exhibited at the Royal Academy and the British Institution, commanded universal applause. In literature she displayed equal talent. This accomplished woman died in 1826, at the age of thirty-seven.

WESTMORELAND, JANE, COUNTESS OF,
Eldest daughter of Henry, Earl of Surrey, who was beheaded in 1547, was the wife of Charles, Earl of Westmorland, by whom she had four daughters. This lady made such progress in Latin and Greek, under the instruction of Fox, the martyrologist, that she might compete with the most learned men of the age. The latter part of her life was rendered very unhappy by her husband's conduct; for he was engaged in an insurrection, in 1569, and in consequence, his property was confiscated, and he himself sentenced to death, which he escaped by leaving the country, and remaining a long time in exile.

WELBY, AMELIA B.,
Whose maiden name was Coppuck, was born in St. Michael's, Maryland, in 1821. About 1835, her father removed to Louisville, ​Kentucky, where, three years afterwards, she was married to Mr. George B. Welby, a merchant of that city. Mrs. Welby began to write at a very early age, and, when scarcely more than a girl, her poems, which were published under the nom de plume of Amelia, in the Louisville Journal, had gained for her no small degree of fame, as one of the most promising of our numerous band of young writers. Without displaying any marked or peculiar traits of genius, her writings possess a finish and graceful ease; they show true and warm womanly feelings, a refined delicacy, and an eye to perceive, together with a mind that can appreciate the lovely and beautiful in spirit, as well as in nature. They are evidently not mere imitations of some favourite writer, but have a character and style of their own, which has probably contributed much to their popularity. In 1844, a collection of her poems was published in Boston, which met with unusual success for that class of writings, going through no less than four large editions in four years. In 1850, a larger collection of her writings was published by the Appletons of New York, in a volume beautifully illustrated.

WELSER, PHILIPPINA,
Daughter of Francis, and niece of Bartholomew Welser, the opulent privy-councillor of Charles the Fifth of Germany, was a beautiful and accomplished woman. Ferdinand, son of the Archduke (afterwards Emperor) Ferdinand, and nephew of Charles the Fifth, fell violently in love with her, in 1547, at Augsburg. She refused all his offers, except on condition of marriage, and the ceremony was performed privately, in 1550. When the archduke heard of it, he was very much incensed, and for eight years he refused to see his son. Philippina died in 1580, at Innspruck. Her husband had a medal struck in her honour, with the inscription Divæ Philippinæ. She had two sons, who both died without children.

WESTON, ELIZABETH JANE,
Was born about 1558. She left England very young, and settled at Prague, in Bohemia, where she passed the rest of her life. She was a woman of fine talents, which were highly cultivated; she was skilled in various languages, especially Latin, in which she wrote several works, both in prose and verse, highly esteemed by some of the most learned men of her time. They were published in 1606. She was married to John Leon, a gentleman belonging to the emperor's court, and was living in 1605, as appears by a letter written by her in that year. She was commended by Scaliger, and complimented by Nicholas May in a Latin epigram. She is ranked with Sir Thomas Moore, and the best Latin poets of the sixteenth century.

WASSER, ANNA,
Was born at Zurich, in Switzerland, in 1679; being the daughter of Rodolph Wasser, a person of considerable note in his own country and a member of the council of Zurich. Anna had the advantage of a polite education; and as she showed a lively genius, particularly in designing, she was placed under the direction of Joseph Werner, at Berne. He made her study after good models, and copy the best paintings he could procure. After having instructed her for some time, on seeing a copy which she had finished of a flora it astonished him to find such correctness and colouring in so young an artist, she being then but thirteen years of age. She painted at first in oil, but afterwards applied herself entirely to miniature, for which, indeed, nature seemed to have furnished her with peculiar talents. Her works in that style procured her the favour of most of the princes of Germany; and the Duke of Wirtemberg, in particular, sent his own portrait and that of his sister to be copied in miniature by her hand; in which performance she succeeded so admirably, that her reputation was effectually established through all Germany. The Margrave of Baden-Durlach was another of her early patrons; and she also received many commissions from the first personages in the Low Countries. Though, by the influence of her father, she was prevailed upon to devote most of her time to portrait painting, yet her favourite subjects were those of the pastoral kind, in which she displayed the delicacy of her taste in invention and composition, in the elegance of her manner of designing and in giving so much harmony to the whole, as invariably to afford pleasure to the most judicious beholders. In all her subjects, indeed she discovered a fine genius, an exceedingly good taste, and an agreeable colouring. She died, unmarried, in 1713.

WEISSERTHURN, JOHANNA F. V. VON,
Born 1773, at Coblenz, was the daughter of the play-actor, Grünberg. Before she was twelve years old, she became, encouraged by her step-father, Teichman, the director of a little troup, the members of which were her brothers and sisters, and cousins, and with it she performed, at a private theatre, a number of piece expressly written for children. In 1787, an engagement was offered to her at the Munich theatre; in 1789, she exchanged this for one that was offered to her by her step-brother, the director of the theatre at Baden; in 1790, she was called to the Imperial Court Theatre, at Vienna. Here she married, in 1791, Von Weisserthurn. Shortly after her marriage, she published a few plays, which were so well received, that, encouraged by it, she continued to write for the stage, and became quite a prolific author. In 1817, she lost her husband; and in 1841, she withdrew from the stage, and died in 1845.

He was the publisher of much popular literature, broadsides, ballads, and lampoons, as well as many political pamphlets. On December 13th, 1641, he, in company with John Wright, sen., published the Diurnal or the Heads of all the Proceedings in Parliament. Another news-sheet which they produced was Mercurius Civicus, probably the first illustrated newspaper, its front page having every week a portrait of some celebrity. It began on May 4th, 1643, and ended on December 10th, 1646, quite a long life for a news-sheet Bates and Wright were also the ​publishers of The True Informer, and Bates was also associated with F.

​BEALE (JOHN), printer in London; (?) Fetter Lane [the printing house of Robert Robinson], 1612–41. This printing house belonged from 1587-97 to Robert Robinson. After his death his widow married Richard Braddock, who continued the business till 1609, when it was bought by Thomas Haviland and William Hall. Two or three years later it was sold by Hall to John Beale, who took into partnership for a short time Thomas Brudenell. Sir John Lambe, from whose notes on the London printing houses this notice is compiled , says; "Master John Beale succeeded his partner Master William Hall about 15 yeares since (i.e., 1620), never admitted (of great estate but a very contentious person) he tooke 50li to furnish ye pore with bread and doth not do it. He bought Hall [out] and took Thomas Brudenell to be his partner for £140, which Brudenell had much a doe to recover." [Arber, iii. 699–700.] Beale was a relation by marriage to Humphrey Robinson, q.v., [Excheq. K. R. Bills and Answers, Lond. and Midd., 34.] Towards the close of his life he was afflicted with blindness, but appears to have still carried on business with S. Buckly, i.e., Stephen Bulkley, q.v., afterwards the Royalist printer, at York and elsewhere, for their names appear together in the imprint to Lewis de Gand's Sol Britannicus, 1641, 8°. [b.m. 1137, a. 13]. John Beale ​died on September 17th, 1643, and on March 16th, 1648/9, his copies were transferred to Humphrey Robinson.

Jonson's Bartholomew Fayre, 1631.

He was one of the victims of Laud's persecution, being apprehended in December, 1637, and brought before Sir John Lambe on a charge of having given William Prynne's servant some of the writings of Dr. Bastwick and Mr. Burton to be copied. He was ordered by the Privy Council to shut up his shop, and as he did not obey the order quickly enough, he was imprisoned in the Compter in Wood Street for three months, until he had entered into bond of £100 not to use his trade in Cheapside, to quit his house within six months, and not to let it to anyone but a goldsmith under a penalty of £600. He was afterwards brought before the Privy Council on the Archbishop's warrant, and sent to the Fleet prison, where he remained six months. [Domestic State Papers, Charles I, vol. 374, 13, etc; vol. 378, 86; vol. 501, 18; Domestic State Papers, 1643 (4).] He afterwards moved into St. Paul's Churchyard, where his imprint appears in four varieties, though probably all relating to the same house. He had a son, John, who held a stall in Westminster Hall under the same sign, but probably it belonged to the father also. John Bartlet the elder appears to have died between 1657 and 1660.
