Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Universal Biography, Vol. 2 of 3: Including Scriptural, Classical, and Mythological Memoirs, Together With Accounts of Many Eminent Living Characters The Venetians, in the sharing of the imperial do minions, obtained a full moiety, and Dandolo was solemnly invested with the title of despot of Roma nia. He ended his life soon after at Constantinople, in 1205, having reached, if there be no mistake in the records, the very uncommon age of ninety-seven. Dandolo (andrew), doge of Venice, and one of its early historians, was born about 1310. He distinguished himself by his knowledge of law, history, and polite literature; and rose first to the office of procurator of St. Mark, and then to that of doge, in 1343. He joined in a league with other Christian powers against the Turks, in consequence of which several bloody battles were fought, mostly favourable to the allies, but at length they received a signal defeat at Smyrna. The Venetians had more success in recovering Zara and Capo d'istria, which had revolted. Various disasters which hap pened to the city about this time, and thinned its inhabitants, were the cause of a decree offering na turalization to all foreigners who should settle in it, by the effect of which the losses were soon repaired. The commerce of Venice likewise received a great extension by a connexion with Egypt, which the doge formed by means of an embassy to the soldan; and the first Venetian ship sailed to Alexandria in 1345. The jealousy conceived by the Genoese of this new trade was the occasion of a war between the two republics, which continued with various suc cess for several years. A powerful fleet of Genoese entered the gulf of Venice, ravaged Istria, burnt the city of Parenzo, and occasioned such an alarm in Venice itself, that the port was shut up with chains. The doge put on armour, and exerted him self ih providing for the safety of the city, but his anxiety brought on an illness, of which he died in September, 1354, leaving a high character for learn ing, eloquence, courtesy, and patriotism. To An drew Dandolo is ascribed the compilation of the sixth book of Venetian Statutes; but he is most distinguished for his Chronicle of Venice, written in Latin, and comprehending the history of the re public from its commencement to 1342. Dandolo (brancaleone), was first invested with the title of podesta or magistrate by the Roman people in 1253. At this time the people of Rome were much harassed by the brz'gandage of the no bles, and they therefore fixed upon Dandolo, who was a Bolognese count, to protect them. He suc ceeded in disarming the nobles, and died much re spected by the Romans, in 1258. Dandre-bardon (michael francis), a French writer and painter, and director of the Aca demy at Marseilles, was born in 1700 at Aix in Provence, and died in 1783. He succeeded mestin historical pictures, but distinguished himself chiefly by his literary productions, among which are Prin cipos da Dessin; Vie de Carle Vanloo; and Histoire Universelle relative aux Arts. Daneau (in Latin Danaus, lambert), a learned French Protestant minister, was born at Orleans, about the year 1530. Having retired to Geneva, he became a minister, and professor of theology which ofiices he afterwards sustained with much reputation at Leyden in Holland. He settled finally at Castres in Languedoc, at which place he died in 1596. He was a man of consider able learning and abilities, and much esteemed in the Calvinistic churches, whose principles be de fended against the Lutherans, as well as Catholics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Imperial Dictionary of Universal Biography, Vol. 2: A Series of Original Memoirs of Distinguished Men, of All Ages and All Nations Dallas, rev. Alexander robert charles, son of Robert Charles Dallas, entered when young the British army, served through the Peninsular war, and was present at Waterloo. Of his Peninsular experiences there survives a literary memorial (which has escaped the notice of even the industrious Alibone) - Felix Alvarez, or Manners in Spain, containing descriptive accounts of some of the prominent events of the late Peninsular war - published in 1818, and dedicated to the late Lord Lyne doch. After Waterloo, Mr. Dallas entered the church, and we find him, in 1824, vicar of Wooburn in Berkshire, a party to the negotiations and litigation which preceded his publication of his father's posthumous Recollections of Lord Byron. The executors and relatives of the poet objected to the publication of certain portions of Lord Byron's correspondence. The latter were accordingly suppressed in England, but appeared at Paris in 1825, with a curious preliminary statement by the reverend editor. In 1828, Mr. Dallas was appointed by the newly-made bishop of Winchester to the rectory of Wonston, Andover, Hants, which he still holds. Mr. Dallas is a prominent member of the evangelical party in the church, and has been a most prolific contributor to theological literature. He has also taken a very active part in the establishment of protestant missions and of charitable, educational, and industrial institutions, under protes tant auspices, in the west of Ireland, especially in the district of Connemara, and Galway county generally. An interesting account of some of his Irish efforts during and after the famine will be found in his Castlederg, London, 1849. - F. E.
