Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 4: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation; Particularly the British and Irish; From the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time Mr.baron, we are likewise told, only breathed, he did not live, in his own estimation, but whilst he was in some way or other lending his assistance to the glorious cause ofreligious and civil liberty. He wrote, he published, and republished perpetually in its defence. His character was one of the most artless and undisguised in the world. He was a man of real and great learning; of fixed and steady integrity; and a tender and sympathizing heart. Yet with such a heart, we are told, not very consistently, that had he been mindful of his domestic concerns, he might have left a competency behind for his wife and family, but his whole soul was engaged in the cause, and be neglected every other concern. For this absurd and unjust train of feeling, we are referred to the natural impetuosity of his temper, and his eccentricities, which indicated occasional derangements of thind. With many virtues, it is added, and a few faults, which must have been of a peculiar kind, since they only wanted the elevation 'of a higher station and a better fate to have assumed the form of virtues, Mr. Baron passed the greatest part of his life in penurious circumstances, which neither abated the generous ardour, or overcame the laudable independency of his spirit. These virtues, with their blessed effects, were all he left he. Hind him, for the consolation and support of a widow and three children. He died at his house at Blackheath, Feb. 22, 1768. His principal publication was a collection of what he called liberty-tracts, first published in 2 vols. 1752, under the title of The pillars of Priestcraft and Ortho doxy shaken. In 1767, he prepared another edition, eu larged to four volumes, to be published by subscription. In his advertisement he describes himself as a man who. Has been made a sacrifice to proud bigots, religious rogues, and psalm-singing hypocrites and Hatters himself that his subscribers will enable him to express his utter con tempt, and everlasting abhorrence of them all. To this meek wish, he adds an assurance that the names'of the subscribers shall not be printed. This edition appeared after his death, and was published for the benefit of his family, along with a'new edition of Milton's Eikonoclastes, and his manuscript sermons and, papers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New and General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 4 of 8: Containing an Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation in the World, Particularly the British and Irish, From the Earliest Accounts of Time to the Present Period; Wherein Their Remarkable Actions and Sufferings, Their He commanded, on that occasion, the Elizabeth Bonaventure, and signalized himself in a remarkable manner; especially in the last engagement with the Spaniards, near Calais. Queen Elizabeth was so pleased with his good services, that she granted him a commission, dated October 4, 1588, to pursue his intended voyage to the South Sea; and, for his greater honour and encouragement, lent him one of her own royal ships, named the Golden Lion, to be the admiral. This he victualled and furnished at his own charge; and sailed about the end of October, attended with many brave English gentlemen. In the Channel he took a ship of Dunkirk, named the Hare, laden with merchandize for Spain, which he sent home; but contrary winds at first, and afterwards a violent storm, which forced him to cut his main-mast by the board, deprived him of all farther hopes and ability to prosecute his designs on the Spanish coasts, so that he returned to England. However, not discouraged by this unhappy disappointment, he undertook a third voyage to the West Indies in 1589. For that purpose he obtained the queen's leave, and on ship of the royal navy, called the Victory; to which adding three other small ships, furnished at his own expence with about four hundred men, and all necessaries, he set sail from Plymouth the 18th of June. He now made several valuable seizures, but experienced all the hardships of a tedious voyage. The earl, in attempting to seize a Brazil ship, seeing captain Lister had boldly carried off the companion, had two parts of his own men killed or wounded, and received himself three shots upon his shield, and a fourth on his side, though not deep; his head was likewise broken with stones, and all covered with blood, and both his head and legs were much burned with granadoes; notwithstanding which, they had the good fortune to make themselves masters of a Portugueze ship, of 110 tons, freighted with sugar and Brazil wood; and two days after of another, between three and four hundred tons, loaden with hides, cochineal, sugar, china dishes, and silver. After being now kept out at sea by storms and contrary winds, and reduced to the greatest extremities, he arrived safe at Falmouth on the 29th of December. In 1591 his lordship undertook a fourth voyage to the coast of Spain, with five ships, fitted out at his own charge. He sailed from England in May, and, in his way to the Spanish coasts, found several Dutch ships coming from Lisbon loaden with spices, which he took out of them. These spices he determined to send to England, in a ship guarded by the Golden Noble, his rear-admiral; but they were taken in a calm, by some Portugueze gallies from Penicha, one of the captains, with several of the men, slain, and the rest carried prisoners to Penicha, and from thence to Lisbon.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New and General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 4: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation; Particularly the British and Irish; From the Earliest Accounts of Time to the Present Period Ioero (marcus tullius), was one of the greateft men of antiquity, whether we confider him asan orator, a. flatefman, or a philofopher. He was born Jan. 3, in the 647th year of Rome, about 107 years before Chrif't. His mother's name was Helvia, who was rich and well defcended. As to his father's family, nothing was delivered of it but in extremes: which is not to be wondered at in the hiftory of a man, whofe life was fo expofed to envy', as Cicero's, and who fell a vietim at laft to the power of his enemies. Some derive his defcent from kings, others from mechanics: but the truth, as it commonly happens in fnch cafes, lay between both: for his family, though it had never borne any of the great offices of the republic, was yet very ancient and honourable; of principal dil'tinetion and nobi lity in that part of Italy in which it refided; and, of equei'trian tank, from its firl't admiflion to the freedom of Rome. The place of his birth was Arpinum; a city! Anciently of the Sam nites, now part of the kingdom of Naples. It had the honour alfo of producing the great C. Marius -which gave occafion to Pompey to: fay in a public fpeech, that, Rome was indebted to this corporation for two citizens, who had, each in his turn, pre ferved it from ruin. The territory of Arpinum was rude and mountainous, to which Cicero applies Homer's defcriptioniof Ithaca i 'tis rough indeed, yet breeds a generous race.
