​JAMESON. (Retired Commander, 1837. f-p., 18; h-p., 51.)
Walter Jameson entered the Navy, 25 Nov. 1778, as L.M., on board the Janus, Capts. Bonivier Glover, ___ Dixon, and Horatio Nelson, on the West India station, where, and in North America and the Channel, he continued to serve, chiefly as Midshipman, in the Niger frigate, Capt.

On the renewal ot hostilities in 1793, after having been for nearly 10 years employed in the merchant-service, he joined the Illustrious 74, Capt. Thos. Lennox Frederick, attached to the force in the Mediterranean. In the course of 1795 he there removed in succession to the Windsor Castle 98, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Robt. Linzee, and Blenheim 98, commanded by his former Captain, Frederick; and in the early part of 1796 he was appointed by Sir John Jervis, in whose flag-ship, the Victory, he had been for a short time serving, to a Lieutenancy in a sloop under the orders at the time of Capt. Robt. Sauce. His official promotion took place on 28 July in the same year; after which period he was employed, we find, from March, 1797, to Dec. 1798, in the Naiad and Melpomène 38’s, Capts. Wm. Pierrepont and Sir Chas. Hamilton – from Nov. 1799 until July, 1800, in the Thames 32, Capt. Wm.

​JAMES. (Commander, 1828. f-p., 48; h-p., 19.)
James James was born, 9 Aug. 1760, at Liverpool, and died 13 Nov. 1845.
This officer entered the Navy, 14 April, 1779, as Midshipman, on board the Duke 90, Capts. Sir Chas. Douglas, Sir Walter Stirling, and Alan Gardner, in which ship he participated in Rodney’s actions of 9 and 12 April, 1782, and on one of those occasions was severely wounded in the left leg. Between June, 1783, and his promotion to the rank of Lieutenant, 16 Nov. 1790, he successively served on the Home station in the Scipio 64, Capt. John Nicholson Inglefield, Irresistible, Capt. Sir Andrew Snape Hamond, Scipio again, Director, Capt. Thos. West, and Courageux 74, Capt. Sir A. Gardner. After an employment of three years on the coast of Ireland in the Medusa, Capt. Jas. Newman Newman, he obtained an appointment, in July, 1794, in the Transport service, and was sent to the West Indies. On 24 May, 1797, as a reward for the conduct he had exhibited in the Prince 98, flag-ship of Sir Roger Curtis, during the never-to-be-forgotten mutiny, Mr. James was nominated to the command of the Hasty gun-brig. He afterwards, in Feb. 1798, and May, 1803, assumed charge of the Eagle and Matilda prison and hospital ships at Gillingham and Woolwich; and, from 1 Aug. 1804 until the receipt of his second promotal commission, bearing date 1 July, 1828, he commanded the Argonaut hospital-ship at Chatham. The remainder of his life was passed on half-pay.
Commander James married, first, in 1789, Miss Lucy Gifford and secondly, in 1800, Miss Margaret Copp. He has left two children by each marriage.

​JAMES. (Lieut., 1829. f-p., 20; h-p., 15.)
Henry James was born 1 Aug. 1799.
This officer entered the Navy, 14 July, 1812, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Pompée 74, Capt. Sir Jas. Athol Wood, with whom he served in the Mediterranean until 1815, latterly as Midshipman. He then successively joined the Berwick and Impregnable, flag-ships of Sir John Thos. Duckworth at Plymouth, where he was further employed under the orders of Lord Exmouth, inclusive of a short period passed in the Fox and Wolf cutters, until 1818. The next four years were spent by Mr. James again in the Mediterranean, on board the Révolutionnaire 46, Capt. Hon. Sir Fleetwood Broughton Reynolds Pellew. In 1822 he proceeded to the Brazils and Pacific in the Tartar 42, Capt. Thos. Brown; and on his return in that frigate to Rio de Janeiro he removed to the flag-ship of the Commander-in-Chief, Sir Geo. Eyre. On his arrival in England in 1826 Mr. James made a trip to Lisbon with Sir Thos. Masterman Hardy. In July, 1827, he joined the Victory 104, lying at Portsmouth, whence he soon sailed, in the Fairy sloop, for the West Indies, and was there, it appears, transferred to the Skipjack schooner. On 3 July, 1829, being at the time in the Barham 50, the flag-ship on the latter station of Hon. Chas. Elphinstone Fleeming, he was promoted to a Lieutenancy in the Harlequin 18. He came home in the course of the same year in the Druid 46; and he was lastly appointed, 7 Oct. 1834, as Additional-Lieutenant, to the Winchester 52, flag-ship of Hon. Sir Thos. Bladen Capel, and, 7 July, 1835, to the Wolf 18, Capt. Edw. Stanley, both on the East India station. He invalided home in 1838 on board the Zebra sloop. Lieut. James married, 27 Aug. 1833, Mary, daughter of the late Thos. Ridley, Esq., of Chester Square, London, by whom he has issue three children.

​JAMES. (Lieutenant, 1815. f-p., 12; h-p., 29.)
William James entered the Navy, 12 Feb. 1806, as Fst.-cl Vol., on board the Experiment packet, Capt. Jas. Manderson, on the Falmouth station. After serving off Guernsey as Midshipman of the Uranie 38, Capt. Christopher Laroche, he joined, in Aug. 1807, the Bulwark 74, Capt. Hon. Chas. Elphinstone Fleeming, off Cadiz; and he was next, from May, 1808, until March, 1814, employed in the Mediterranean on board the Espoir 18, Capts. Robt. Mitford and Hon. Robt. Cavendish Spencer. During that period, besides witnessing the surrender of the islands of Ischia and Procida, and participating in the capture, 26 June, 1809, of 18 French gun-boats, as also in an action with the French 40-gun frigate Cérés, Mr. James, on 4 April, 1810, assisted at the destruction, by the boats of the Espoir and Success 32, under Lieut. Geo. Rose Sartorius, of several vessels well protected on the beach abreast of Castiglione. On another occasion he contributed, in the boats of the same sloop and of the Spartan 38, to the capture of other craft from beneath the fire of a battery and musketry at Terracina; and, on 18 Aug. 1813, we find him serving in the boats of a small squadron under Capt. Thos. Ussher in a very gallant attack on the batteries at Cassis, where, after sustaining a loss of 4 men killed and 16 wounded, the British, In four hours, succeeded in capturing 3 heavy gun-boats and 26 vessels laden with merchandize. In March, 1814, having returned to England and removed with Capt. Spencer to the Carron 20, Mr. James sailed for Gibraltar. In the course of the same year he further joined the Caledonia 120, and Prince Frederick, bearing the flags in the Mediterranean and at Hamoaze of Lord Exmouth and Rear-Admiral Thos. Byam Martin. At the period of bis promotion to the rank of Lieutenant, which took place 16 Feb. 1815, he was serving as a Supernumary on board the York 74, Capt. Alex. Wilmot Scomberg. He assumed charege, 30 Oct. 1824, for a short period, we believe, of the Frolic; and he had lastly the command, from 25 Nov. 1839, of the Echo steam-vessel, on the North America and West India station.

But the Kid answer'd, No I'll not trust you, not I.
​To Master Tommy, or Miss Polly.
You see, my Dear, the little Kid, by taking, her Parent's Advice, preserved her own Life; for had she been so wicked as to have neglected what the Goat (her Mother) said to her, and had opened the Door, the Wolf would certainly have torn her, to Pieces.

In ev'ry View they ought to mind me;
For when once lost they never find me.

Cries out to his Neighbours, The Wolf, Sirs, is here. They come, and are laugh'd at Soon he roars out again, Now the Wolf's here indeed! But his Cries are in vain.
​To Master Tommy, or Miss Polly.
This Boy's Fate, my Dear, is a remarkable Instance of the Folly and Wickedness of telling Lies; if he had not deceived the People before, they would have believed him, and ran to his Assistance, by which Means both him and his Sheep might have been saved, which are now torn to Pieces: I hope you will remember this, my Dear, and resolve in yourself never to tell a Lie; for if you do, I shall be very angry,

​To Master Tommy, or Miss Polly.
You see, my Dear, the sad Effects of keeping bad Company; if the poor harmless Strork had not been in Company with the wicked Crane, he might probably have lived until this Day; therefore of all Things take Care what Sort of Children you play with, for those that are wicked will make you so too; and nothing will more displease
Your sincere Friend,

# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Mariamne

MARIAMNE,
Daughter of Alexander and wife of Herod the Great, Tetrarch or King of Judsea, and mother of Alexander and Aristobulus, and of two daughters; was a woman of great beauty, intelligence, and powers of conversation. Her husband was so much in love with her that he never opposed her or denied her anything, but on two occasions. When he left her on dangerous errands, he gave Orders with persons high in his confidence, that she should not be allowed to survive him. Mariamne was informed of these orders, and conceived such a dislike to her husband, that on his return she could not avoid his perceiving it; nor would her pride allow ​her to conceal her feelings, but she openly reproached Herod with his barbarous commands. His mother and his sister Salome used every means to irritate him against his wife, and suborned the Icing's cup-bearer to accuse Mariamne of an attempt to poison her husband; she was also accused of infidelity to him. Herod, furious at these charges, had her tried for the attempt to poison him, and she was condemned and executed. Marianne met death with the greatest firmness, without even changing colour; but after her execution, which took place about B.C. 28, Herod's remorse and grief were so great, that he became for a time insane.

MARINELLI, LUCREZIA,
Of Venice, was born in 1571. Her talents were surprisingly versatile. She was learned in church history, understood and practised the art of sculpture, was skilled in music, and besides left many literary productions, lives of several saints, a treatise entitled "The Excellence of Women and the Defects of Men;" an epic poem; several epistles to the Duchess d'Este; and many other pieces of poetry, both sacred and profane. She died in 1653.
# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Mars, Mademoiselle Hyppolite Boutet

Layout 2
MARS, MADEMOISELLE HYPPOLITE BOUTET
Was an eminent French actress, who was born in 1778, and made her first appearance in public in 1793: so decided was her success, that she was soon engaged at the Théatre Français.
Her father, Monvel, who was an actor of great celebrity, in giving her instructions, had the good taste and judgment not to make her a mere creature of art. On the contrary, he taught her that much ought to be left to the inspiration of natural feelings, and that art ought only to second, not to supersede nature. Her original cast of parts consisted of those which the French term ingénues—parts in which youthful innocence and simplicity are represented. These she performed for many years with extraordinary applause. At length she resolved to shine in a diametrically opposite kind of acting—that of the higher class of coquettes. In accomplishing this, she had to encounter a violent opposition from ​Mademoiselle Leverd, who was already in possession of this department; for, in France, each actor has exclusive right to a certain line of character. Mademoiselle Mars succeeded, however, in breaking through this rule—a great triumph for her; and in the coquette she was fully as charming and successful as in personating the child of nature. She pleased foreigners as well as her own countrymen. Mr. Alison, the son of the historian, spoke of her as being "probably as perfect an actress in comedy as ever appeared on any stage. She has (he continues) united every advantage of countenance, and voice, and figure, which it is possible to conceive." Mademoiselle Mars was very beautiful, and retained her charms till a late period in life. This beauty gave, no doubt, additional power to her genius, and assisted her in establishing her sway over the theatrical world. At Lyons she was crowned publicly in the theatre with a garland of flowers, and a fete was celebrated in honour of her by the public bodies and authorities of the city. Her last performance at the theatre was at Paris, in April, 1841; and she died in that city in 1848, aged seventy years.

As her cognomen is placed on the title-page of many books, though some assert it is fictitious. This writer has, however, laboured with much success for the improvement of the young. Three generations have had the benefit of her little "Histories of France," and of "England," where the leading facts are produced, divested of philosophic comments so dry and useless to children. Her other works are judiciously prepared, and all have been successful. Many editions have been published in the United States.

MARQUETS, ANNE DE,
Was born of noble and rich parents, and was carefully instructed in belle-lettres, and in her religious duties. She became a nun in a convent of the order of St. Dominic, at Poissy, where she devoted the poetic talents for which she was distinguished, to the service of religion. Her poems show great but enlightened zeal. Ronsard, and other celebrated contemporary poets, have spoken very highly of her. She reached an advanced age, but lost her sight some time before her death, which took place in 1558. She bequeathed to Sister Marie de Fortia, a nun in the same convent, three hundred and eighty sonnets of a religious nature.
