RE-ISSUE OF THE
DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY.
EDITED BY
LESLIE STEPHEN and SIDNEY LEE.
IN TWENTY-TWO VOLUMES.
Cloth, gilt top, 15_s._ net each; or half-morocco, marbled edges,
21_s._ net each.
The Volumes are identical with the Original Edition in type and size
of page. Errors have, as far as possible, been corrected, and some of
the Bibliographies have been revised, but otherwise the text remains
unaltered.
=VOLUME I.=, including A STATISTICAL ACCOUNT of the Work with A NEW
POSTSCRIPT, was published on =March 10, 1908=, and a Volume will be
issued each succeeding month until the completion of the Edition in
=December 1909=.
SOME PRESS OPINIONS OF THE RE-ISSUE.
The _SPECTATOR_.--‘We cordially hope that the success of this new
venture will be all that its merits entitle it to. The work is really
indispensable to the student, and every public library, not to speak of
private purchasers, should be supplied with a copy.’
_DAILY TELEGRAPH._--‘To those who have had occasion to use the
Dictionary to any great extent it must have long appeared invaluable,
and they may well be amazed at finding it now in volumes of close upon
1,500 pages issued at a price that makes it one of the cheapest works
of the kind ever put before the public.... In welcoming this new and
marvellously cheap re-issue, which will cost only one-third of its
original price, and will occupy only one-third of the shelf space, we
may say that no public reference library will, in future, be worthy of
the name that does not contain the Dictionary in one or other of its
forms.’
The _BRITISH WEEKLY_.--‘The Dictionary in its new issue should become
a universal household possession. There is nothing to compare with it
anywhere. No greater service was ever rendered to English literature
than was rendered by its publication. It is in short priceless.... The
re-issue ought to be in every public library, and in every private
library of any pretentions. As it stands it is about the cheapest book
in the market.’
Professor MAX FÖRSTER in the _JAHRBUCH DER DEUTSCHEN SHAKESPEARE
GESELLSCHAFT_, 1908:--‘It is an absolutely indispensable work for all
engaged in literary history, and for a long time to come will remain
one of the proudest ornaments of England’s work in scholarship.’
London: SMITH, ELDER, & CO., 15 Waterloo Place, S.W.
‘A valuable and fitting conclusion to the great work.’--ACADEMY.
In One Volume of 1,464 pages.
Royal 8vo. Price =25/-= net in Cloth, or =32/-= net in Half-Morocco.
DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY INDEX and EPITOME
Edited by SIDNEY LEE.
This volume is intended to form a summary guide to the vast and varied
contents of the Dictionary and its Supplement. Every name, about which
substantive biographic information is given in the sixty-three volumes
in the Dictionary or in the three Supplementary Volumes, finds mention
here in due alphabetical order. An Epitome is given of the leading
facts and dates that have been already recorded at length in the pages
of the original work, and there is added a precise reference to the
volume and page where the full article appears.
_ATHENÆUM._--‘The appearance of this supplement to the “Dictionary of
National Biography” puts the coping-stone upon a work which is justly
regarded as a national possession.... We can, indeed, conceive no
volume of reference more indispensable to the scholar, literary man,
the historian, and the journalist.’
_OUTLOOK._--‘A complete biographical dictionary, containing names
and references, to be counted literally by the thousand, altogether
inaccessible inside the covers of any other single volume.... The
EPITOME is worthy of the DICTIONARY. Could greater praise be given?’
_TIMES._--‘This newly-published INDEX AND EPITOME may seem a mere
trifle compared to the rest, but is, in fact, a remarkable piece of
work.... As far as we have been able to test it, this design has
been so admirably carried out as to give the work a real value and
importance of its own.’
_WESTMINSTER GAZETTE._--‘A volume of the highest practical utility....
We have tested the work by several consultations, and have found it
answer exactly to the excellent plan outlined in its preface.’
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--‘This final volume will convince every one of the
Dictionary’s wonderful utility, and indeed introduce the work to many
who may not be able to afford the original volumes.’
_SCOTSMAN._--‘This volume of the Dictionary will soon be the
best-thumbed of them all. Only long and frequent use upon particular
occasions fully tests a book of this kind; but it needs no very
exhaustive scrutiny to reveal that the EPITOME is a work well
organised, of exact learning, and of a careful compilation. Useful in
itself, it must largely enhance the usefulness of the Dictionary which
it serves.’

The Altar Fire.
_WORLD._--‘In conception and in execution this study of a high-souled

discipline of suffering, is an achievement of rare power, pathos, and
beauty, and, so far, incomparably the finest thing that its author has
given us.’

appealing and eloquent studies in human motive; and once more he has

a remarkable and impressive effect.’

intellect _plus_ soul.... The history of Hugh Neville’s interior life

FOOTNOTES:
[1] The more generally accepted story is that when the Count
of Barcelona was severely wounded in a battle between Charles the Bald
and the Normans, the Emperor came to the wounded Count’s tent and asked
what reward he could give to a warrior to whom he owed so much. The
Count asked for the grant of a charge on his plain gold shield. The
Emperor dipped his hand in the blood from the Count’s wound, and passed
his four fingers down the shield. ‘A device gained by blood,’ he said,
‘should be marked with blood.’
[2] The Teutonic word _Rik_ signified valiant or powerful, not rich in
our sense. It was a frequent ending to names, as Theodoric, Alaric. The
_Ricos Hombres_ of Aragon bore a caldron on their arms, as a sign that
they could maintain many men in the field, and they used a _señera_,
or banner. These were ‘Ricos Hombres do Señera.’ There were also nine
families of ‘Ricos Hombres’ ‘le naturaleza,’ nobles before the Moors
came. These were Cornelas, Lunas, Azagras, Forcas, Urreas, Alagones,
Romeos, Entenzas, Lizanas. Several Castilian nobles, especially the
Dukes of Medina Sidonia, also bore caldrons on their arms.
[3] Nine miles.
[4] November 30.
[5] The chronicle of Muntaner was written in the Catalan language,
and first published at Valencia in 1558, and next at Barcelona in
1562. Buchon published a French translation at Paris in 1827 in
the ‘Collection des croniques nationales Françaises.’ In 1844 an
Italian translation was published at Florence. Buchon published a new
translation in 1848 in the _Panthéon Littéraire_. Dr. Lanz published a
German translation in 1842 at Leipzig; and added the Catalan text in a
volume published at Stuttgart in 1844. In 1860 a Spanish translation,
with the Catalan text in parallel columns, edited by Don Antonio de
Bofarull, was published at Barcelona. As yet there is no English
translation of this charming historical narrative. It was used by
Gibbon.
[6] First cousin of En Pedro III. of Aragon.

[8] ‘Awake iron!’
[9] Between Palamos and Palafurgall, or Capes Gros and San Sebastian.

[12] The best account of the coinage of Majorca is in the Appendix to
Bover’s _Historia de la casa real de Mallorca y noticia de las monedas
proprias de esta isla_ (Palma, 1855).
[13] So says Fray Pedro Marsilio, the editor in Latin of the _Journal_
of Jayme I. But the olive grows wild in Majorca. The cultivated olive
is grown from the plains to a height of two thousand feet in the
mountains.

[15] So called because, when he unjustly put the brothers Carbajal to
death, they summoned him to meet them before the judgment-seat of God
on a day which they named. Fernando IV. died suddenly on that very day.
[16] ‘Esperonte’ was a salient angle in the curtain of a fortified
place, generally in front of a gate.
[17] A princess of Hainault, through another descent from the Prince
of the Morea, also claimed the Lordship of Clarencia. Philippa of
Hainault, Queen of Edward III., inherited this honorary title, and it
was given to her second son Lionel. This is a more probable origin of
the title than that it was derived from the Lordship of Clare. In that
case it would be Clare, not Clarence.

and the photograph.

[36] Since Dr. Cleghorn’s time, several natives of the island have
studied its botany.
Juan Cursach, a native of Ciudadela, who was educated at Montpelier
(1759-1837), published at Mahon his _Botanicus medicus ad medicinæ
alumnorum usum_. He enumerated 270 plants, of which 160 were said to be
natives.
Juan Ramis y Ramis, of Mahon (1746-1819), published at Mahon _Specimen
animalium vegetabilium et mineralium in insula Minoricæ frequentiorum,
ad normam Linneani sistematis._ He enumerates 140 plants.
Rafael Hernandez y Mercadal (1779-1857), a doctor of Mahon, formed a
Minorca herbarium of 500 species. It is now lost.
Rafael Oles y Cuadredo, of Ciudadela (1806-1879), in 1859 called the
_Droguero farmaceutico_. It includes an interesting account of the
topography of the island.
Don Juan Joaquin Rodriquez y Femanias studied the vegetation of Minorca
for many years, and published in 1865-68 a _Catalogo razonado de las
plantas vasculares de Minorca_.
See also the _Flores de las islas Baleares_, 1870-81, of Francisco
Barcelo y Combis.
