# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Death-watch

Edition of 1802.
​DEATH-WATCH, or Termes pulsatorium, L. a small insect that harbours chiefly in old wood. It is produced from a very minute white egg, which is hatched in the month of March.
When these vermin first leave their shells, they are scarcely perceptible, without the aid of a microscope: from this diminutive size, they gradually acquire their perfect state, when they are about 5-16ths of an inch in length, and of a dark brown, spotted colour.—They are remarkable for the ticking noise, similar to that of a watch, which is made by the male and female, when wooing each other. This expression of mutual affection was formerly considered, by the superstitious, as a presage of death in the family where it was heard; from which circumstance the insect has received its name.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Dimness of Sight

Edition of 1802.
​DIMNESS of Sight, in farriery, a disorder in horses proceeding from blood-shotten eyes. If the eye-ball be sound, a cure may be effected by keeping the horse warm, with a linen hood fitted to his head, and by anointing his eyes twice a-day with a composition of sugar-candy, honey, and white rose-water. In two or three days, the eyes will be well; after which the creature should be blooded. In the progress of this malady, blisters generally rise on the eye, which it would be dangerous to touch, as they will gradually disappear on the recovery of the animal.—See Sight.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Deciphering

Edition of 1802.
​DECIPHERING, or Decyphering, the art, or act of discovering the alphabet of a cypher, or of explaining a letter written in cyphers, or secret characters.
Every language has peculiar rules of deciphering which depend not only on the form of its characters, but also on the place, order, frequency, combination, and number of the letters. The importance of this science to politicians has long been acknowledged, and several ingenious philosophers of the 17th century, published profound treatises on this subject; but, as it would be deviating too widely from the avowed plan of this work, to enter into the theory of deciphering, we can only refer the curious, who desire farther information on this head, to the 12th volume of the Gentleman's Magazine for 1742, where they will find the art of deciphering deduced from principles, and explained by examples in several languages. It deserves to be remarked, that there is extant, in the library of Oxford, a collection of letters written in cypher, about the time of Charles the Second, and decypbered by Dr. Wallis, the most eminent scholar this country ever produced, in that branch of mystical grammar. Mr. W. Wallis, a descendant of that learned divine (whose "Life and Sermons" he has lately published), is in the possession of another volume of Decyphered Letters, with their keys in various cyphers and characters; the whole of which contains much information relative to the transactions of those times; as the Doctor held the appointment of decypherer to that suspicious king.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Deal

Edition of 1802.
​DEAL, a well-known wood, bring the production of the fir-tree, and of great utility for building, and other purposes.
An excellent method of seasoning planks of deal and fir is, to immerse them into salt-water, as soon as they are sawed, for three or four days; care being taken to turn them frequently during that time. They should then be exposed to the sun and air, which will in a considerable degree harden them, though it will not prevent them from shrinking.—See Timber.
By the stat. of 13 and 14 Car. II. c. 2; and 6 Geo. I. c. 15, no deal-boards or fir-timber may be imported from the Netherlands; but fir-timber, fir-planks, and deal-boards, the growth of Germany, are importable from any place in that country, by British subjects only, in British-built ships, legally navigated. By 39 Geo. III. c. 3, deal-boards, fir, and timber, may be imported in British-built ships, owned and navigated according to law, from Hamburgh, Bremen, Altona, and Gluckstadt, until the 1st of August, 1802.—See Fir-tree.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Windet, James

​WINDET, JAMES (d. 1664), physician, is erroneously said to have been originally of Queen's College, Oxford (Foster). He graduated M.D. at Leyden on 26 June 1655, and was incorporated at Oxford on 27 March 1656. He became candidate or member of the College of Physicians of London on 25 June 1656. He at first practised at Yarmouth, but after 1656 in London. In 1660 he published in London two Latin poems, ‘Ad majestatem Caroli secundi Sylvæ duæ.’ The first begins with the word ‘occidimus,’ and is on the execution of Charles I; the second begins with the word ‘vivimus,’ and is on the Restoration. In 1663 he published ‘De vita functorum statu,’ a long Latin letter, with numerous passages in Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic, addressed to Dr. Samuel Hall, in ​reply to a letter from him. It begins with a general discussion of the word ‘Tartarus’ and of the Greek and Hebrew words and phrases used in describing the state of man after death, and goes on to consider the Greek and Hebrew views on the state and place of the good, on a middle state, and on the place of the wicked with related subjects. A second edition was published at Rotterdam in 1693. He was a friend of Sir Thomas Browne [q. v.], and Simon Wilkin [q. v.], who had examined Windet's letters to Browne, states that they are uninteresting and pedantic. He died in Milk Street, London, on 20 Nov. 1664 (Smyth, Obituary, p. 62). Wood (Fasti Oxon. ii. 790) states that he left a quarto manuscript of Latin poems.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Windeyer, Charles

​WINDEYER, CHARLES (1780–1855), first recognised reporter in the House of Lords and Australian magistrate, son of Walter Windeyer, descended from the Swiss family of Wingeyer, canton of Berne, was born in Staffordshire in 1780. He was law reporter to the ‘Law Chronicle,’ and also connected with the ‘Times.’ Even after the House of Commons recognised the press gallery, the lords professed to ignore the presence of reporters, who were debarred the use of paper and pencil. Charles Windeyer was the first reporter ‘who had the courage to rest his notebook on their lordships' bar.’ Lord Eldon, who had strenuously opposed verbatim reporting, ‘proceeding to the bar to receive a deputation from his majesty's faithful commons, caught Mr. Windeyer's notebook with his robe, and it fell within the bar’ (Phonetic Journal, 19 Dec. 1885). The great tory chancellor picked up the scattered leaves (knowing full well what they contained) and courteously returned them with a smile to the young reporter. From that time forth the presence of the press was virtually recognised by the peers.
When Benjamin Disraeli was busy launching the ill-fated ‘Representative,’ he informed John Murray, the publisher, that he ‘had engaged S. C. Hall and a Mr. Windyer (?), sen., both of whom we shall find excellent reporters and men of business; the latter has been on the “Times”’ (Memoir of John Murray, ii. 206).
Charles Windeyer emigrated to New South Wales in 1828, with the intention of taking up land and becoming a settler; but, owing to the lack of officials with legal training and experience, was induced to accept the office of clerk of petty sessions, and afterwards became police magistrate for Sydney. His affairs suffered in the financial crash following 1842; but as a magistrate he was universally esteemed; he converted what was mere chaos into an orderly system, and the cause of public justice in Sydney was greatly advanced by his patient unremitting efforts. On his retirement the legislative council, in recommending a superannuation allowance, passed a vote adverting in high terms to his long and useful career.
Windeyer died in 1855. He married Ann Mary (d. 1864), daughter of Richard Rudd, on 8 Aug. 1805, by whom he had a son, Richard Windeyer [q. v.], the Australian politician. A bust of Charles Windeyer was placed in the central police office, Sydney, as a mark of public esteem.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Windele, John

​WINDELE, JOHN (1801–1865), Irish antiquary, was born at Cork in 1801. Early in life he showed a strong love of antiquarian pursuits, and made an especial study of Irish antiquities. He became a contributor to ‘Bolster's Quarterly Magazine,’ an antiquarian journal published at Cork, and thus became acquainted with a number of Irish archæologists and literary men, including Abraham Abell, William Willes, Matthew Horgan, and Francis Sylvester Mahony [q. v.], better known as ‘Father Prout.’ With these antiquaries Windele made many excursions, examining and sketching ruins and natural curiosities. His favourite pursuit was searching for the primitive records engraved on stone known as Ogham inscriptions, and he saved many of them from destruction by removing them to his own home, where they formed what he termed his megalithic library.
Windele also devoted much time to the study of ancient Irish literature. He was himself a good Erse scholar, and made a large collection of manuscripts in that language. In 1839 he published an antiquarian work entitled ‘Historical and Descriptive Notices of the City of Cork and its Vicinity’ (Cork, 12mo), which in 1849 was abridged and published as a ‘Guide to Cork’ (Cork, 12mo). Windele died at his residence, Blair's Hill, Cork, on 28 Aug. 1865.
Besides the work mentioned, Windele wrote ‘A Guide to Killarney,’ and frequently contributed to the ‘Dublin Penny Journal’ and to the ‘Proceedings’ of the Kilkenny Archæological Society, of which he was a member from its foundation in 1849. He also edited Matthew Horgan's ‘Cahir Conri,’ an Irish metrical legend, with a translation into English verse by Edward Vaughan Hyde Kenealy [q. v.] (Cork, 1860, 8vo). He left a collection of manuscripts extending to 130 volumes, which were purchased by the Royal Irish Academy in 1865. They included copies of many ancient Irish manuscripts. Selections from a manuscript journal of his archæological expeditions which was found among them were published in the ‘Journal of the Cork Historical and Archæological Society’ between May 1897 and March 1898.
