# A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities/Axones

AX´ONES (ἄχυνες), also called κύρβεις, wooden tablets painted white, and made to turn on an upright axis, on which were written the laws of Solon. According to some writers, the κύρβεις contained the public and religious, the ἄχονες the private laws; according to others, the κύρβεις had three sides, and the ἄχονες four. But at Athens, at all events, they were almost certainly identical, according to the statement of Aristotle (ap. Plut. Sol. 25). The grammarians, indeed, insist on the difference; but the opinion of most modern scholars is in agreement with that already expressed in the former editions of this work. The phrase ἐκ τῶν κύρβεων θύειν in Lysias (Or. 30, c. Nicom. § 17) has been relied upon by the advocates of the distinction. But the law of murder must have been a public and religious law: and this we find was ἐν τῷ ἄχονι (Lex ap. Dem. c. Aristocr. p. 629.28: read ἐν τῷ ά ἄχονι, i. e. πρώτῳ ἄχονι, with Cobet, Var. Lect. p. 123; the ἄχονες being always mentioned in the plural).
The words τρίγωνοι and τετράγωνοι, used of the ἄχονες and κύρβεις, have been wrongly explained by some authorities, both ancient and modern, as applying to the separate tablets, and not to the whole contrivance (κατασκεύαχμα). The gloss in Timaeus has Κύρβεις στηλὴ τρίγωνος πυρανοειδὴς νόμους ἔχουσα περὶ θεῶν (so also Bekk. Anecd. p. 274, τρίγωνοι, πυραμίδι ὅμοιοι). This pyramidal shape is accepted by Planck (ap. Pauly i,2 s. v. ἄχονες), and Liddell and Scott (ed. 7, s. v. κύρβεις). But apart from its unsuitableness for exhibiting writings, the clear account of Aristophanes of Byzantium (in Etym. M. p. 547; cf. Ruhnken on Timaeus, s. v. κυ̣ρβεις) leaves no doubt that the boards were rectangular, and formed, as Caillemer puts it, a prism (not pyramid) of three or four sides.
The ἄχονες were at first kept in the Acropolis, but were afterwards placed, at the suggestion of Ephialtes, in the agora for all to read. Some fragments of them were preserved in the prytaneium in the time of Plutarch (l.c.; cf. Paus. 1.18, 3). (Schol. ad Aristoph. Birds 1354; Schol. ad Apollon. 4.280; Anaximenes ap. Harpocrat. s. v. ὁ κάτωθεν νόμος: Etym. M. p. 547; Suid. s.v. Hermann, Staatsalterth. § 107, 1; Schömann, Antiq. 1.329, n., E. T.; Preller, on Polemonis Periegetae fragm. pp. 87-91 [the fragment itself in Müller, Fr. Hist. 3.138 a].)

​MARRYAT. (Lieutenant, 1845.)
Frederick Marryat is eldest son of Capt. Fred Marryat, R.N., C.B.
This officer entered the Navy in 1830; passed his examination 8 Jan. 1841; and after a servitude of more than three years in the East Indies as Mate of the Cambrian 36, Capt. Henry Ducie Chads, was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant 1 Sept. 1845. His appointments have since been – 5 Oct. 1846, to the Sphynx steam-sloop, Capt. John Bettinson Cragg, his exertions in rescuing which vessel, when aground in Brixstone Bay in Jan. 1847, procured him the thanks of the Admiralty, but nearly cost him his life – and, 9 April, 1847, to the Avenger steam-frigate of 650 horse-power, Capt. Sidney Colpoys Dacres, now on the Lisbon station. On two consecutive evenings in the month of Oct. 1847 Lieut. Marryat intrepidly plunged into the sea after a man who had each time fallen overboard. On the last occasion, the drowning person having convulsively clasped him round the neck, he would have been inevitably lost had it not been for the presence of mind of the First-Lieutenant, Hugh Mallett Kinsman, who, observing the danger in which his shipmates were placed, instantly jumped in himself and was the means of their both being saved.

​MARSHALL. (Retired Commander, 1844.)
John Marshall (a) – whose name had been borne in 1790 on the books of the Marlborough 74, Capt. Cornish, and Queen Charlotte 100, bearing the flag of Lord Howe – embarked, in 1793, as A.B., on board the Egmont 74, Capts. Archibald Dickson and John Sutton; in which ship he cooperated in the reduction of Corsica, and was present in Hotham’s actions of 14 March and 13 July, 1795, and in the battle fought off Cape St. Vincent 14 Feb. 1797. He also, in 1796, assisted at the evacuation of the island above named. At the close of 1799, after having further served with Capt. Sutton in the Superb 74, with Lord Bridport in the Royal George 100, and with Sir Thos. Boulden Thompson as Acting-Lieutenant in the Bellona 74, on the Home station, Mr. Marshall was unfortunately obliged to be invalided and sent to the hospital at Plymouth. Being, however, officially promoted, 18 Feb. 1800, to a Lieutenancy in the Renommée frigate, Capt. M‘Kellar, he was employed in the course of that year in the expedition to Egypt. His next appointment was, 17 Sept. 1802, to the Port Mahon brig, Capts. Walter Grosett, ___ Neville, ___ M‘Donald, ___ Murray, and Sam. Chambers, on the Jamaica station; where, under Capt. Chambers, he assisted at the capture, recapture, and destruction of at least fifty vessels; among which were El Galgo Spanish packet, the Amaranza letter-of-marque, and El Courier privateer. He further, 25 June, 1806, united in chasing the San Josef letter-of-marque brig (armed with 1 long 18-pounder on a pivot amidships, and 4 12-pounder carronades and 2 long 4-pounders on her sides, with swivels, pikes, and muskets, and 30 men), into the intricate harbour of Banes, in the island of Cuba; and then, taking command of the boats of the Port Mahon, succeeded with the utmost gallantry in cutting her out without the loss of a man; although the vessel was protected by the fire from, and moored by a line to, a tower mounting 2 heavy guns, and notwithstanding too that in endeavouring to conduct her out of the harbour she grounded within pistol-shot of the battery, and was struck by several shot from it. He left the Port Mahon, of which he appears to have been for some time in charge, in 1807; and was afterwards employed in the Impress service at Poole, and in visiting Quebec and other parts of North America in the Woolwich 44, armée en flûte, Capt. Thos. Ball Sulivan. Ill health, again, in Aug. 1813, compelled him to leave his ship and to enter the hospital at Bermuda. He became a Retired Commander on the Junior List 26 Nov. 1830: and on the Senior 30 July, 1844.

From volume 3 of the work.
​ROYAL SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS OF GREAT BRITAIN, THE, was founded by the exertions of Festing the violinist, and Weidemann the flutist, who were struck by the appearance of two little boys driving milch asses, who proved to be orphans of a deceased oboe-player named Kytch. [See Festing, vol. i. p. 515b.] They immediately raised subscriptions to relieve the family, and feeling that some permanent establishment was required to meet similar cases, induced most eminent music-professors of the day to associate themselves together as a Society for that purpose. This excellent work was formally accomplished on April 19, 1738, and amongst its first members were Handel, Boyce, Arne, Christopher Smith, Carey, Cooke, Edward Purcell, Leveridge, Greene, Reading, Hayes, Pepusch, and Travers. In 1739 the members of the Society executed a 'deed of trust,' which was duly enrolled in the Court of Chancery; the signatures of the members, 226 in number, include the most eminent professors of music of the time. The deed recites the rules and regulations for membership and for the distribution of the funds, and provides for regular monthly meetings at the sign of Saint Martin, in St. Martin's Lane. Handel took an especial and active interest in the welfare of the Society, composing concertos and giving concerts for the benefit of its funds, and at his death bequeathing to it a legacy of £1,000. The Handel Commemoration held in Westminster Abbey in 1784 brought a further addition of £6,000. In 1789 George III. granted the Society a charter, by virtue of which its management is vested in the hands of the 'Governors' and 'Court of Assistants.' In 1804 the funds of the Society not being in a flourishing condition, the king gave a donation of 500 guineas. Considerable sums have been given or bequeathed to the Society by members of the music-profession, especially Signora Storace £1,000, Crosdill £1,000, Begrez £1,000, Schulz £1,000; the latest and largest amount, 1,000 guineas, being that of Mr. Thomas Molineux (Feb. 10, 1881), now resident in London, but for many years an eminent performer on the bassoon and double-bass at Manchester.
The Society pays away annually to relieve distress over £3,000, which amount is provided by donations from the public, subscriptions and donations of members of the Society, and interest (about £2,500 per annum) on the Society's funded property.

​ROWLAND, Alexander Campbell, born at Trinidad, W. I., Jan. 1, 1826. His father served as bandmaster through the Peninsular campaign, was a fine clarinet player, and good practical musician. The lad was brought to London at a very early age, in 1831 began to learn the violin and side-drum, and in 1833 entered the orchestra of the Queen's Theatre, as player on both instruments, and soon became known for his solos at the Lent Oratorios, the Promenade and other Concerts, and other occasions. In 1839 he had the honour of some special hints from Spohr as to the drum part in his Concertino 'Sonst und Jetzt,' at the Norwich Festival. (See Spohr's Autobiography, part i. p. 220.) From 1842 to 1846 he was a member of Jullien's band, ​playing cornet, timpani, and viola, all which, as well as the pianoforte and organ, he had added to the repertoire of his instruments. At this time, with characteristic energy, he learned scoring for a military band from Waetzig of the Life Guards, and also mastered the trombone, and one or two other instruments. In 1846 he began the double bass, under Casolani, and by that instrument he is most generally known. In 1847 he became a member of the orchestras of the Royal Italian Opera, Philharmonic, Sacred Harmonic Society, etc.; in 1850 was PF. accompanyist, and solo double-bass player at the National Concerts, and became double-bass at H.M. Theatre in March 1851. In 1852 he performed a solo before the Queen and Prince Albert at Windsor. In 1854, finding the strain of the constant practice on the thick three-stringed English bass too severe, Mr. Rowland retired to Southampton, and devoted himself to teaching the piano, violin, harmony, and singing, in which he has been very successful up to the present time. But he did not at once give up his connexion with London. On April 29, 1861, he appeared at the Philharmonic Concert, and performed Mayseder's Violin Concerto (op. 40) on the double-bass. His position as principal double-bass to the Society he retained till the resignation of Sir W. S. Bennett, in 1866, when he also resigned, and has since confined himself to his country practice at Southampton.

​NEPEAN. (Lieut., 1806. f-p., 19; h-p., 30.)
John Nepean was born 6 Jan. 1785. He is brother of Capt. Evan Nepean, R.N.
This officer entered the Navy, 3 March, 1798, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Caton, Lieut.-Commander Robt. Browne, lying in Hamoaze; and between 1799 and Aug. 1803 was employed on various parts of the Home station in the Saturn 74, Capt. Thos. Foley, Néréide frigate, Capt. Fred. Watkins, Victorieuse, Capt. Richards, Ambuscade 36, Capt. Hon. John Colville, Galgo sloop, Capt. Rich. Hawkins, and Galatea and Aigle frigates, both commanded by Capt. Geo. Wolfe. After a further servitude in the Foudroyant 80, bearing the flag in the Channel of Rear-Admiral Dacres, also in the Quebec and Euryalus frigates, each under the orders of Capt. Hon. Geo. Heneage Lawrence Dundas (with whom he visited Cadiz and Teneriffe), and in the Acasta 40, Capt. Rich. Dalling Dunn, he was promoted, on his return home from Gibraltar, to the rank of Lieutenant by commission dated 25 Sept. 1806; and next in succession appointed – 29 of the same month, to the Raven sloop, Capt. Jas. Grant, stationed off Lisbon and Oporto – 21 Dec. 1807, to the Bellerophon 74, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Albemarle Bertie in the Channel – 8 April, 1808, to the Humber, Capts. John Hill and Robt. England, employed between Falmouth and the Downs – about July, 1809, to the Impérieuse 38, Capts. Lord Cochrane, Thos. Gould, and Hon. Henry Duncan, attached to the force in the North Sea and Mediterranean – and, in 1811, to the Regulating service, which he left in 1814. While belonging to the Raven he was wounded in her boats in an attack upon a privateer; and when in the Impérieuse, in 1809, he assisted at the destruction of a fort in the river Scheldt, took part in the operations connected with the siege of Flushing, and was a second time wounded in an affair with five Dutch schuyts near South Beveland. His last appointments were – 26 April, 1823, to the Water Guard, in which service he continued, we believe, but a short period – 28 Oct. 1841, to the post (which he retained until the close of 1843) of Admiralty Agent on board a contract mail steam-vessel – and, 4 Jan. and 22 May, 1845, to the San Josef 110, and Caledonia 120, both commanded by Capt. Manley Hall Dixon, at Devonport, where he is now employed.

​NEVILLE. (Commander, 1828. f-p., 21; h-p., 32.)
James Neville entered the Navy, in 1794, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Cerberus 32, Capts. John Drew and Jas. Macnamara. In that ship, besides sharing as Midshipman in many privateer actions, he took part, off Ferrol, 20 Oct. 1799, in a most gallant and all but successful attack upon one of five Spanish frigates in escort, with two armed brigs, of a large convoy of merchantmen. Becoming Master’s Mate, in May, 1800, of the Iphigenia frigate, Capt. Hassard Stackpoole, he obtained command, on the night of 29 Aug. following, of one of the boats of a squadron, 20 in number, under the orders of Lieut. Henry Burke, and assisted in cutting out, close to the batteries in Vigo Bay, La Guêpe privateer, of 18 guns and 161 men, which vessel, 25 of whose people were killed and 40 wounded, was in 15 minutes boarded and carried, with a loss to the British of 3 seamen and 1 marine killed, 3 Lieutenants, 12 seamen, and 5 marines wounded, and 1 seaman missing. While Acting Senior-Lieutenant of the same ship, which was soon afterwards burnt in Aboukir Bay, Mr. Neville was present at the landing of the troops in Egypt in March, 1801. In June of that year he was again ordered to act as Lieutenant in the Northumberland 74, Capt. Geo. Martin, attached to the force in the Mediterranean; and on 3 Dec. 1802 he was officially promoted.

Bolton, employed at first in the North Sea, and then again on the American coast – and, 7 April, 1826, in a similar capacity, to the Perseus receiving-ship off the Tower, Capt Jas. Couch. On 19 Sept. 1814, being at the time Senior of the Forth, he took command of her command of her boats, captured by boarding, and afterwards destroyed, at the mouth of Little Egg Harbour, the American letter-of-marque brig Regent, of 5 guns and 35 men, and 35 men, 2 of whom were wounded, with a loss to the British of himself and 1 seaman wounded. He attained his present rank 2 Sept. 1828; and has since been on half-pay.
He was awarded, 23 Oct. 1815, a pension of 91l. 5s. per annum for his wounds.
