Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New and General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 7 of 15 Gesner (Conrad), an eminent scholar, physician, and philosopher, was born at Zurich in Switzerland in 1516, where he also received the first rudiments of learning. He discovered great facility of genius; but the circumstances of his father would not allow him to make his son a scholar, and he was about to discontinue his studies, when Ammien, professor of Latin and eloquence at Zurich, took him to his own house, and charged himself with the care of his education, By the death of his father, he was a second time reduced to great extremities, and fell into a dropsical disorder. On the recovery of his health, he resolved to travel, and seek his fortune. He went to Strasburg, where he made some progress in the hebrew language; and, the civil wars of Switzerland having subsided, he was allowed a pension from the academy of Zurich, to enable him to make the tour of France. He accordingly went to Paris, accompanied by John Frisius, the early friend of his youth, and partner of his studies. From Paris he returned to Strasburg, whence he was invited by the university of Zurich, to preside over a school. Here he married, but, finding his appointment inadequate to the maintenance of a family, he was obliged to seek for other resources. From his childhood he had a great propensity to study physic, and he now devoted all the time he could spare from his school to books of medicine. At length he left in disgust his situation at Zurich, and proceeded to Basil, where he employed his time in reading the greek physicians in their own language, till he was made greek professor at Lausanne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New and General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 9 of 15: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation Jones (Inigo), the celebrated English architect, was born about 1572, in the neighbourhood of St. Paul's, London; of which city his father, Mr. Ignatius Jones, was a citizen, and by trade a clothworker. At a proper age, it is said, he put his son apprentice to a joiner, a business that requires some skill in drawing; and in that respect suited well with our architects inclination, which naturally led him to the art of designing. Genius concurred with inclination; he distinguished himself early by the extraordinary progress he made in those arts, and was particularly noticed for his skill in landscape-painting. These talents recommended him to William earl of Pembroke, at whose expence he travelled over Italy, and the politer parts of Europe; saw whatever was recommended by its antiquity or value; and from these plans formed his own observations, which, upon his return home, he perfected by study. But, before that, the improvements he made abroad gave such an eclat to his reputation throughout Europe, that Christian IV. king of Denmark sent for him from Venice, which was the chief place of his residence, and made him his architect-general. He had been some time possessed of this honourable poll, when that prince, whose sister Anne had married James I. made a visit to England in 1606; and our architect, being desirous to return to his native country, took that opportunity of coming home in the train of his Danish majesty.
