# Dictionary of Christian Biography and Literature to the End of the Sixth Century/Basilius of Ancyra, a presbyter

​Basilius of Ancyra, a presbyter who became a martyr under Julian A.D. 362. During the reign of Constantius he had been an uncompromising opponent of Arianism. He was more than once apprehended by the provincial governors, but recovered his liberty. The Arian council under Eudoxius at Constantinople in 360 forbade him to hold any ecclesiastical assembly. The zeal of Basil was still further quickened by the attempts of Julian to suppress Christianity. Sozomen tells us ​ that he visited the whole of the adjacent district, entreating the Christians everywhere to be constant to the faith and not to pollute themselves with sacrifices to idols (Soz. H. E. v. 11). He was apprehended and put to the torture. On the arrival of Julian at Ancyra, Basil was presented to him, and after having reproached the emperor with his apostasy was further tortured. Basil's constancy remained unshaken, and after a second interview with Julian, in which he treated the emperor with the greatest contumely, he suffered death by red-hot irons on June 29 (Soz. H. E. v. 11; Ruinart, Act. Sinc. Martyr. pp. 559 seq.; Tillemont, vii. 375 seq.).

# Dictionary of Christian Biography and Literature to the End of the Sixth Century/Bertha, wife of Ethelbert, king of Kent

​Bertha (Bercta), wife of Ethelbert, king of Kent. She was daughter of Caribert, king of Paris, by his wife Ingoberga (Greg. Turon. iv. 26, ix. 26), and lost her father in 575, her mother in 589. The date of her marriage is unknown, but it was probably after the death of her mother, although Bede speaks of the king receiving her "a parentibus." Ethelbert was still a heathen, and on his marriage it was made a condition that his wife should be allowed to enjoy the exercise of her own religion, and should be attended by a bishop. Liudhard, or Letard, who is called by the Canterbury historians bp. of Senlis (Thorn, ed. Twysden, 1767), was chosen to accompany her, and the remains of the church of St. Martin, at Canterbury, were allotted for Christian worship (Bede, H. E. i. 26). It was partly, no doubt, by her influence that Ethelbert was induced to receive the Roman mission and to be baptized. Pope Gregory, in 601, when sending Mellitus to reinforce Augustine's company, addressed a letter to Bertha, in which he compliments her highly on her faith and knowledge of letters, and urges her to make still greater efforts for the spread of Christianity. He also ascribes the conversion of the English mainly to her, and compares her to the empress Helena (St. Greg. Epp. xii. 29; Haddan and Stubbs, Councils, iii. 17, 18). The date of her death is unknown. She was buried in the porch of St. Martin, in the church of SS. Peter and Paul (Bede,H. E. ii. 5). Ethelbert seems to have married again after her death. She was the mother of Eadbald, who succeeded to the throne on Ethelbert's death, and of Ethelburga, who, in 625, was married to Edwin, King of Northumbria. As her son was unbaptized in 616, it is probable that she found considerable difficulty in promoting Christianity in her own family, or else that she died whilst her children were very young. Elmham (ed. Hardwick, p. 110) says she took part in founding the monastery of St. Augustine, at Christmas, 604, but this is merely traditional; and the latest trustworthy trace of her is St. Gregory's letter of 601.

# Dictionary of Christian Biography and Literature to the End of the Sixth Century/Basilius of Cilicia

​Basilius of Cilicia, presbyter of Antioch and bp. of Irenopolis in Cilicia, c. 500; the author of an Ecclesiastical History in three books, from A.D. 450 to the close of Justin's reign. Photius speaks disparagingly of it (Cod. 42). He also wrote a violent book against Joannes Scythopolitanus, and Photius (Cod. 107) says its object was to oppose the doctrine of the union of the two natures in Christ.

# Dictionary of Christian Biography and Literature to the End of the Sixth Century/Benedictus I., pope

​Benedictus I., pope, called by the Greeks Bonosus (Evagr. Sc. H. E. v. 16), son of Boniface, a Roman, was elected successor to John III. on June 3, 574 (Jaffé, Regesta Pont.; the dates given by Baronius are erroneous; cf. Clinton, F. R. ii. 543, on the causes of discrepancy in the pontifical chronology). During his pontificate Italy was harassed by the invasion of the Lombards. Though they never actually penetrated into the city of Rome, they ravaged the suburbs, violated the cemeteries, and persecuted the Christians. Misery and famine ensued, and Rome was only relieved eventually by a corn fleet from Egypt, dispatched at the pope's request by the emperor Justin. Benedict died in July 578, and was buried on the last day of that month in St Peter's. He was succeeded by Pelagius II. (Anastas. Liber. Pontif.; cf. Paul. Diac. de Gestis Long. ii. 10, ap. Muratori, i.). According to Ciacconius (Vitae Pont. Rom.) his memory was eulogized by Gregory the Great. His restoration of certain lands to the Abbot of San Marco at Spoleto rests on the same authority (Greg. Op. ii. 950, ed. Bened.); see generally Baronius, sub annis 575‒577; Labbe, Concil. vol. v.).

# Dictionary of Christian Biography and Literature to the End of the Sixth Century/Beryllus, bishop of Bostra

​Beryllus, bp. of Bostra, in Arabia, known in his day as one of the most learned teachers of the church. He conceived heretical views as to the person of our blessed Lord, to consider which a synod assembled at Bostra, A.D. 244. The bishops unanimously condemned his teaching, and declared that Christ at His Incarnation was endowed with a human soul (Socr. H. E. iii. 7), but were unable to convince Beryllus of his error. Origen, however, who, having been recently degraded from Holy Orders and excommunicated at Alexandria, was then residing at Caesarea, had been invited to the synod, and by his intellectual superiority, dialectical skill, and friendly moderation succeeded in proving to Beryllus the unsoundness of his tenets, and in leading him back to the orthodox faith. For this, according to Jerome, he received the thanks of Beryllus in a letter extant in his time. Our only authority as to the tenets of Beryllus is a somewhat obscure passage of Eusebius, H. E. vi. 33, and a fragment of Origen's commentary on the Epistle to Titus, found in the ​ apology of Pamphilus, Orig. Opp. tom. iv. p. 22, ed. Bened., which have led to very opposite conclusions. These may be seen in Dorner, where the whole question is discussed at length. His views were Monarchian, and are identified by Schleiermacher with those of the Patripassians, and by Baur with those of Artemon and the neo-Ebionites. According to Dorner, Beryllus occupies a middle place, forming a connecting link between the Patripassians and Sabellius. The leading ideas of his teaching as developed by Dorner from Eusebius were as follows: (1) there existed a πατρικὴ θεότης in Christ, but not an ἰδία θεότης: (2) Christ had no independent existence in a circumscribed form of being of His own (κατ᾿ ἰδίαν οὑσίας περιγραφήν), before His Incarnation (ἐπιδημία). (3) Subsequently to His Incarnation, He Who had been identified with the πατρικὴ θεότης became a circumscribed Being possessed of an independent existence; the being of God in Christ being a circumscription of the θεότης of the Father, i.e. of God Himself. According to Eusebius, H. E. vi. 20, Beryllus was the author of epistles and treatises displaying considerable elegance. Hieron. de Script. Eccl. No. lx.; Niceph. H.

United States Supreme Court
75 U.S. 14
Dean v. Younell's Aministrator
A bill had been filed below to set aside a deed of land for fraud and inadequate consideration. The allegations of fraud were founded wholly upon the circumstance, that the land was sold for Confederate notes. The bill set up also a lien in favor of the vendor of the complainant. The vendor, whose lien was set up, was not made a party, nor was there any allegation of notice to the grantor of the complainant of the alleged lien for purchase-money; nor was there any averment that the commplainant was induced to take the Confederate notes by fraudulent misrepresentations of the decedent. A demurrer was inter posed in the court below (Erskine, J., presiding), and being sustained, the bill was dismissed.

Dean v. Younell's Aministrator
The CHIEF JUSTICE delivered the opinion of this court, to the effect, that the vendor whose lien was set up not having been made a party, and there not being any allegations of notice to the grantor of the complainant, of the alleged lien for purchase-money, no ground of relief was shown by the bill as to this lien.
And that upon the principles of Thorington v. Smith, just preceding, the fact that the land was sold for Confederate notes, did not, in the absence of all averment that the complainant was induced to take them by fraudulent misrepresentations of the decedent, afford ground for the interposition of a court of equity. The decree was accordingly
AFFIRMED.

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

​ADAMS, JAMES (1737–1802), philologist, entered the Society of Jesus at Watten, and afterwards became professor of languages at the college of St. Omer. He left for Edinburgh on the breaking out of the French revolution. After serving as a missionary for many years he died at Dublin, 7 Dec. 1802. He had it in contemplation to publish his ‘Tour through the Hebrides,’ being much disgusted with the work of that ‘ungrateful depreciating cynic, Dr. Johnson.’ His work on the ‘Pronunciation of the English Language’ contains, according to Park, ‘many ingenious remarks on languages and dialects, though the style of the writer is characterised by much whimsical eccentricity.’ He was the author of the following works: 1. ‘Early Rules for taking a Likeness’ (from the French of Bonamici), 8vo, 1792. 2. ‘Oratio Academica, Anglice et Latine conscripta,’ 8vo, 1793. 3. ‘Euphonologia Linguæ Anglicanæ, Latine et Gallice scripta,’ 1794, 8vo. 4. ‘The Pronunciation of the English Language vindicated from imputed Anomaly and Caprice, in two parts, with an Appendix on the Dialects of Human Speech in all Countries, and an Analytical Discussion and Vindication of the Dialect of Scotland’ (Edinb. 1799, 8vo). 5. ‘Rule Britannia, or the Flattery of Free Subjects paraphrased and expounded,’ 8vo, 1768. 6. ‘A Sermon preached at the Catholic Chapel of St. Patrick, Soho Square, March 7, the day of public fast,’ 8vo, 1798.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Adams, George (1750-1795)

​ADAMS, GEORGE, the younger (1750–1795), was the son of George Adams [q. v.], the mathematical instrument maker to George III, and succeeded his father in that office and in the superintendence of his business. He was the author of a large number of elementary scientific works, which, according to a writer in the ‘British Critic,’ were so planned as ‘to comprise a regular and systematic instruction in the most important branches of natural science with all its modern improvements.’ He also wrote largely on the use of mathematical instruments, and his books on that subject were highly valued. In politics he was a staunch tory, and as such was received with favour at court by George III. In many of his published works he combined a religious with a scientific aim, and ‘applied all his knowledge,’ says the ‘Gentleman's Magazine,’ ‘to the best of purposes—to combat the growing errors of materialism, infidelity, and anarchy.’ He died 14 Aug. 1795, at Southampton, and was succeeded in his business and in the post of mathematical instrument maker to the king by his brother, Dudley Adams. His works are: 1. ‘An Essay on Electricity, to which is added an Essay on Magnetism’ (1784). 2. ‘Essays on the Microscope’ (1787). 3. ‘An Essay on Vision, briefly explaining the fabric of the eye’ (1789). 4. ‘Astronomical and Geographical Essays’ (1790). 5. ‘A Short Dissertation on the Barometer’ (1790). 6. ‘Geometrical and Graphical Essays, containing a description of the mathematical instruments used in geometry, civil and military surveying, levelling and perspective’ (1790). 7. ‘Lectures on Natural and Experimental Philosophy,’ in five volumes (1794). To many of Adams's books elaborate plates were published separately, and almost all of them passed through more than one edition.

1904 Errata appended.
​ADAMS, JOHN (1662–1720), provost of King's College, Cambridge, was the son of a Lisbon merchant in the city of London. He was educated at Eton, went to King's College, Cambridge, in 1678, graduated B.A. in 1682 and M.A. 1686. He afterwards travelled in France and Italy, and became an accomplished linguist. He was presented by Jeffreys to Hickam in Leicestershire in 1687. He afterwards became rector of St. Alban's, Wood Street, in the gift of Eton College, and was presented to the rectory of St. Bartholomew by the lord chancellor Harcourt. He became prebendary of Canterbury in 1702 and canon of Windsor in 1708. He was chaplain to King William and to Queen Anne, with the last of whom he was a great favourite. Swift dined with him at Windsor, and says that he was ‘very obliging’ (Journal to Stella, 12 Aug., 16 and 20 Sept. 1711). In 1712 he was elected provost of King's College, and resigned the lectureship of St. Clement Danes. He was Boyle lecturer in 1703, but his lectures were never printed. He died of apoplexy on 29 Jan. 1720. He was considered to be an eloquent preacher, and fifteen of his sermons are in print.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Adams, Joseph

​ADAMS, JOSEPH, M.D. (1756–1818), was the son of an apothecary in Basinghall Street. After attending Hunter's lectures at St. Bartholomew's, he began business as an apothecary; but in 1796 obtained the M.D. degree from Aberdeen and settled at Madeira as a physician. In 1805, after a successful career, he was elected physician to the Small-pox Hospital. He was for some years editor of the ‘Medical and Physical Journal.’ He was admitted a licentiate of the College of Physicians in 1809 on the special recommendation of the president, Sir Lucas Pepys, without passing through the ordinary formalities, and died from a broken leg on 20 June 1818. He was a warm admirer and defender of John Hunter, and published: 1. ‘Observations on Morbid Poisons, Phagedæna, and Cancer,’ 1795. A second edition of this, his chief book, ​appeared in 1796. 2. ‘Observations on the Cancerous Breast,’ 1801. 3. ‘A Guide to the Island of Madeira,’ 1801. 4. ‘Answer to Objections against the Cow-pox.’ 5. ‘A Popular View of Vaccine Inoculation,’ 1807. 6. ‘An Inquiry into the Laws of different Epidemic Diseases,’ 1809. 7. ‘A Philosophical Dissertation on Hereditary Peculiarities of the Human Constitution,’ 1814. 8. ‘Memoirs of the Life and Doctrines of the late John Hunter, Esq.,’ 1816. Also a few pamphlets, and many contributions to the ‘London Medical and Physical Journal’ (cf. xii. 141, 193, 332, 552).

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Adams, John (fl.1680)

​ADAMS, JOHN (fl. 1680), topographer, was a barrister of the Inner Temple. In 1677 he engraved on copper a map of England and Wales ‘full six feet square,’ the special feature of which was that the distance of each town from its nearest neighbours was ‘entred ​in figures in computed and measured miles’ (see Phil. Trans. xii. 886). But the work was declared by critical friends to be very roughly done, and Adams set to work to improve it. To supply temporarily the many omissions of villages, he laboriously drew up, in 1680, the ‘Index Villaris, or an Alphabetical Table of all Cities, Market-towns, Parishes, Villages, Private Seats in England and Wales,’ and dedicated it to Charles II. This ‘Index’ he reprinted with elaborate additions in 1690, and again in 1700. Meanwhile, under the patronage of several members of the Royal Society, he undertook a survey of the whole country, in order to make his map as full and correct as possible. He completed his journeys before 1685, and in that year published his newly revised map under the title of ‘Angliæ totius tabula.’ A reissue, called ‘A New Map of England,’ is ascribed in the British Museum Catalogue to 1693. Reduced and coloured copies of the revised map, which was of the original size (i.e. six feet square), were sold with the second and third editions of the ‘Index Villaris.’ Adams has been identified, on inadequate grounds, with a ‘Joannes Adamus Transylvanus,’ the author of a Latin poem describing the city of London, which was translated into English verse about 1675, and is reprinted in ‘Harleian Miscellany,’ x. 139–50.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Adams, Richard (1619-1661)

​ADAMS, RICHARD (1619–1661), collector of verse, the second son of Sir Thomas Adams, alderman of London, was born on 6 Jan. 1619–20; admitted fellow-commoner of Catherine Hall, Cambridge, 28 April 1635; died 13 June 1661. Among the Harleian MSS. is a thin quarto (No. 3889) lettered on the outside ‘R. Adams. Poems.’ One or two short pieces of inferior merit are signed ‘R. Adams,’ or ‘R. A.,’ but most of the poems in the collection are accessible in print. Like so many of the manuscript collections of the seventeenth century, Harl. MS. 3889 is no doubt a medley of verses by various hands. Adams certainly cannot be the author of the delightful song, ‘Pan, leave piping, the gods have done feasting’ (sometimes called ‘The Green Gown,’ or ‘The Fetching Home of the May’), for the words of that song were composed, according to the best authority, not later than 1635 (vide Westminster Drollery, ed. Ebsworth, p. 54, Appendix). The capital verses on ‘Oliver Routing the Rump, 1653,’ beginning ‘Will you heare a strange thing never heard of before?’ were first printed in the ‘Merry Drollery,’ 1661, p. 53; they reappeared in ‘Wit and Drollery,’ 1661, p. 260; and in ‘Merry Drollery Compleat,’ 1670, and again in ‘Loyal Songs,’ 1731; oddly enough, they are not in the ‘Rump Collection.’ This song is unsigned in Adams's commonplace book; and judging from the signed verses it is far better than anything he could have written.
