# Dictionary of National Biography, 1901 supplement/Hall, Charles (1843-1900)

​HALL, Sir CHARLES (1843–1900), recorder of London, second son of vice-chancellor Sir Charles Hall [q. v.] by Sarah, daughter of Francis Duval, and niece of the eminent conveyancer, Lewis Duval [q. v.], was born on 3 Aug. 1843. He was educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1866 and proceeded M.A. in 1870. Admitted student at Lincoln's Inn on 15 Nov. 1862, he was there called to the bar on 17 Nov. 1866, and was admitted on 13 May 1872 ad eundem at the Middle Temple, of which he was elected bencher on 7 Nov. 1884. He was a pupil of Sir James (afterwards Lord) Hannen [q. v. Suppl.], and had for some years a considerable practice in the court of admiralty and on the south-eastern circuit. In November 1877 he was appointed attorney-general to King Edward VII when prince of Wales, and on 2 June 1881 was gazetted Q.C. In 1890 he was created K.C.M.G. in recognition of his services as British representative at the international maritime conference held at Washington during the last quarter of the preceding year. He resigned his office at court on being elected, on 8 Feb. 1892, recorder of London, but remained till his death on terms of intimacy with King Edward VII, then prince of Wales. The duties of the recordership he discharged with conspicuous efficiency. In 1899 he was sworn of the privy council. He represented the western division of Cambridgeshire in the short parliament of 1885-6 and the parliament of 1886-1892. At the general election of July 1892 he was returned for the Holborn division of Finsbury. He died unmarried on 9 March 1900, and was interred in the Kensal Green cemetery. His portrait, by the Hon. John ​Collier, was placed as a memorial of him in Holborn town hall.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1912 supplement/Madden, Frederic William

​MADDEN, FREDERIC WILLIAM (1839–1904), numismatist, eldest son of Sir Frederic Madden [q. v.], keeper of the manuscripts in the British Museum, by Emily Sarah, his wife, was born at his father's official residence in the museum on 9 April 1839. Entering Merchant Taylors' School in April 1846, he passed to St. Paul's in March 1848, and being presented in 1851 by Prince Albert to Charterhouse School, remained there till 1856. In 1859 he became an assistant in the department of antiquities and coins in the British Museum. He resigned this post in 1868, and in 1874 became secretary and librarian to Brighton College. In 1888 he was appointed chief librarian of the public library of Brighton, resigning the post in 1902, when his health began to fail. He died at Brighton on 20 June 1904.
Madden was a member of the Numismatic Society of London from December 1858, its joint-secretary 1860-8, and joint-editor of its journal, the 'Numismatic Chronicle,' from 1861 to 1868. In 1896 he was awarded its silver medal for distinguished services to numismatics (Num. Chron. 1896, proceedings, p. 18). He was a member of the Royal Asiatic Society from 1877.
Madden contributed nearly forty papers to the 'Numismatic Chronicle,' mainly on Jewish and Roman numismatics. Of chief value were his papers (1865 and 1867-8) on the Roman gold coins acquired by the British Museum from the famous Wigan and Blacas collections and the series of articles on the Christian symbols occurring on coins of the Constantinian period. His chief work, 'A History of Jewish Coinage' (1864) was republished as 'The Coins of the Jews' in an enlarged and revised edition (1881, 4to). This exhaustive and fully illustrated treatise remains a standard book; it includes, besides the Jewish coinage proper, a discussion of all the various notices of money in the Bible.
Madden also published a 'Handbook of Roman Numismatics' (1861, 12mo), a sound but somewhat arid manual. He completed and published in 1889 Seth William Stevenson's 'Dictionary of Roman Coins,' and contributed articles on Biblical coins to Kitto's 'Cyclopædia.'

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1912 supplement/Malone, Sylvester

​MALONE, SYLVESTER (1822–1906), Irish ecclesiastical historian, born in the parish of Kilmally, co. Clare, in 1822, was son of Jeremiah Malone by his wife Mary Slattery. Having discovered his vocation, he was educated for the priesthood and was ordained in 1854. His first curacy was at Cooraclare in his native county, but after a year and a half he was successively transferred to Kilkee, where he remained fourteen years, and to Newmarket-on-Fergus. In 1875 he became parish priest of Sixmile-bridge, and in 1889 of Clare Castle. Finally, in 1892 he was appointed to Kilrush as vicar-general, and there he remained for the rest of his life. He was raised soon after to the dignities of canon and archdeacon.
Malone, who cherished strong nationalist sympathies, was always devoted to study and was well versed in the Irish language. He made valuable researches into the history of the catholic church in Ireland, and among Irish critics his 'Church History of Ireland from the Invasion of the English in 1160 to the Beginning of the Reformation in 1532' (1867; 2nd edit. 2 vols. Dublin, 1880) takes standard rank.
He was keenly interested in the movement for the preservation of the Irish language, and was a member of the various societies started to achieve that object. To the Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language he bequeathed 100l. for the best essays in Irish on 'Irish Prose' and 'Irish Poetry.' Dr. Douglas Hyde and the Rev. P. S. Dinneen, both well known in the Gaelic movement, were the successful candidates. Malone died at Kilrush on 21 May 1906.
Besides the work named, Malone published:
* 'Tenant Wrong illustrated in a Nutshell; or a History of Kilkee in Relation to Landlordism during the last Seven Years, in a Letter addressed to the Rt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone,' Dublin, 1867.
* 'Chapters towards a Life of St. Patrick,' Dublin, 1892, 12mo.
* 'Adrian IV and Ireland,' Dublin, 1899, 16mo.
* 'The Life of St. Flannan of Killaloe,' Dublin, 1902.
* 'Irish Schools and their Managers,' 1904.

# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Anticlimax

See also Anti-climax on Wikipedia; Anticlimax on Wikipedia, Anticlimax in the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
ANTICLIMAX ([ Greek ] and [ Greek ]), in rhetoric, is an abrupt declension on the part of a speaker or writer from the dignity of idea which he has attained, as in the following well-known distich:—
" The great Dalhousie, he, the god of war,
Lieutenant-colonel to the earl of Mar."
From its character it is plain that it can be intentionally employed only for a jocular or satiric purpose. It frequently partakes of the nature of antithesis, as—
"Die and endow a college or a cat."
From bathos it is distinguished by being much more decidedly a relative term. A whole speech may never rise above the level of bathos; but a climax of greater or less elevation is the necessary antecedent of an anticlimax.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Anticyra

See also Antikyra on Wikipedia; Anticyra on Wikipedia, Anticyra in the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
ANTICYRA, in Ancient Geography, the name of three cities of Greece. (1.) In Phocis, on the Bay of Anticyra, in the Corinthian Gulf. Its modern name is Aspra Spitia, where some remains are still visible. It was a town of considerable importance in ancient times; was destroyed by Philip of Macedon ; recovered its prosperity ; and was captured by Flaininiu in 198 B.C. (2.) In Thessaly, on the right bank of the River SDerchius, near its mouth. (3.) In Locris, on the left side of the entrance to the Corinthian Gulf, and not far from Naupactus. All three places are said to have been known for their hellebore; but the first was the source of the chief supply. The city was resorted to by those suffering from mental derangement, that they might the more easily obtain the curative herb ; and this circumstance gave rise to a number of proverbial expressions, like [ Greek ], or naviget Anticyram, and to frequent allusions in the Greek and Latin writers (Suetonius, Gal. 29; Persius, Sat. iv. 16; Juv. Sat. xiii. 97). Hellebore was likewise considered beneficial in cases of gout and epilepsy.

CANTEMIR, Antiochus (1700-1744), the father of Russian poetry, was the youngest son of Demetrius Cantemir, noticed below. Under the ablest professors, whom Peter the Great had invited to St Petersburg, he studied mathematics, physics, history, moral philosophy, and polite literature. When quite young he was elected a member of the Academy of St Petersburg; and he wrote some satires at twenty, which helped greatly to fix Russian versification and develop Russian poetry. At thirty years of age he was nominated minister to the court of Great Britain; and there, as well as in France, whither he went in 1736 as minister-plenipotentiary, he was equally admired as a statesman and as a man of letters. His conduct in relation to the different revolutions which agitated Russia during his absence procured him the confidence and esteem of three successive princes. He died at Paris in 1744. Besides a Russian translation of Anacreon and the epistles of Horace, he wrote original satires, odes, and fables, and translated Fontenelle's Plurality of Worlds and Algarotti's Dialogues on Light and Colours. The Abbé Guasco wrote his life in French, and translated his satires into that language.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Antipater

See also Antipater on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
ANTIPATER, regent of Macedonia during Alexander s Eastern expedition, 334 B.C. He gained this distinguished position by his faithful attachment and his prudence. In 330 he had to subdue the rebellious tribes of Thrace; but even before this insurrection was quelled, the Spartan king Agis had risen against Macedonia. Having settled affairs in Thrace as well as he could, Antipater hastened to the south, and in a battle near Megalopolis, gained a complete victory over the insurgents. His regency was greatly molested by the arrogance and ambition of Olympias, the mother of Alexander. The repeated complaints which both parties sent to Alexander induced the latter to invite Antipater to Asia, and to appoint Craterus regent in his instead. But before this could be effected, Alexander died at Babylon. In the first partition of the empire among the Macedonian generals, Antipater and Craterus had allotted to them the administration of the dominions in Europe with the exception of Thrace, which was given to Lysimachus. The death of Alexander tempted the Greeks to assert their independence, but the prudence and valour of Antipater crushed all attempts in the Lamian war, and established the Macedonian rule in Greece on a firm footing. At the same time Craterus was engaged In a war against the ^Etolians, when news arrived from Asia which induced Antipater to conclude peace with them ; for Antigonus reported that Perdiccas contemplated making himself sole master of the empire. Antipater and Craterus accordingly prepared for war against Perdiccas, and allied themselves with Ptolemy the governor of Egypt. Antipater crossed over into Asia in 321; and while still in Syria, he received information that Perdiccas had been murdered by his own soldiers. Antipater now, as sole regent, made several new regulations, and having commis sioned Antigonus to continue the war against Eumenes and the other partisans of Perdiccas, returned to Macedonia, where he arrived in 320. Soon after he was seized by an illness which terminated his active career 319 B.C. Passing over his son Cassander, he appointed Polysperchon regent, a measure which gave rise to much confusion and ill feeling.

# Early poems of William Morris/The Tune of Seven Towers

illustrator: Florence Harrison
No one goes there now: For what is left to fetch away From the desolate battlements all arow, And the lead roof heavy and grey? "Therefore," said fair Yoland of the flowers, "This is the time of Seven Towers."
No one walks there now; Except in the white moonlight The white ghosts walk in a row; If one could see it, an awful sight,— "Listen!" said fair Yoland of the flowers, "This is the tune of Seven Towers."
But none can see them now, Though they sit by the side of the moat, Feet half in the water, there in a row, Long hair in the wind afloat. "Therefore," said fair Yoland of the flowers, "This is the tune of Seven Towers."
No one walks there now Except in the white moonlight
The white ghosts walk in a row.
​If any will go to it now, He must go to it all alone, Its gates will not open to any row Of glittering spears—will you go alone? "Listen!" said fair Yoland of the flowers, "This is the tune of Seven Towers."
By my love go there now, To fetch me my coif away, My coif and my kirtle, with pearls arow, Oliver, go to-day! "Therefore," said fair Yoland of the flowers, "This is the tune of Seven Towers."
I am unhappy now, I cannot tell you why; If you go, the priests and I in a row Will pray that you may not die. "Listen!" said fair Yoland of the flowers, "This is the tune of Seven Towers."
If you will go for me now, I will kiss your mouth at last; [She sayeth inwardly] (The graves stand grey in a row,) Oliver, hold me fast! "Therefore," said fair Yoland of the flowers, "This is the tune of Seven Towers."

# Early poems of William Morris/Two Red Roses Across the Moon

illustrator: Florence Harrison
There was a lady lived in a hall, Large in the eyes, and slim and tall; And ever she sung from noon to noon, Two red roses across the moon.
There was a knight came riding by In early spring, when the roads were dry; And he heard that lady sing at the noon, Two red roses across the moon.
Yet none the more he stopp'd at all, But he rode a-gallop past the hall; And left that lady singing at noon, Two red roses across the moon.
Because, forsooth, the battle was set, And the scarlet and blue had got to be met, He rode on the spur till the next warm noon:— Two red roses across the moon.
​But the battle was scatter'd from hill to hill,
From the windmill to the watermill;
And he said to himself, as it near'd the noon,
Two red roses across the moon.
You scarce could see for the scarlet and blue,
A golden helm or a golden shoe;
So he cried, as the fight grew thick at the noon,
Two red roses across the moon!
Verily then the gold bore through
The huddled spears of the scarlet and blue;
And they cried, as they cut them down at the noon,
Two red roses across the moon!
I trow he stopp'd when he rode again
By the hall, though draggled sore with the rain;
And his lips were pinch'd to kiss at the noon
Two red roses across the moon.
Under the may she stoop'd to the crown,
All was gold, there was nothing of brown;
And the horns blew up in the hall at noon,
Two red roses across the moon.
