paragraph: Anthony Cleasby

paragraph: Sir Anthony Cleasby (27 August 1804 – 6 October 1879) was a British judge.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Cleasby was the third son of Stephen Cleasby, a Russia broker, who carried on a prosperous business at 11 Union Court, Broad Street, in the city of London, and died at Craig House, Westmoreland, 31 August 1844; having married, 4 February 1797, at Stoke Newington, Mary, second daughter of George John of Penzance. His brother was the philologist Richard Cleasby.

paragraph: Anthony was educated at Brook Green, Hammersmith, and then at Eton, 1820–3; he abandoned an intention of entering the army, because of an illness in 1819 which rendered him lame for life. He matriculated from Trinity College, Cambridge, in October 1823, was third wrangler and B.A. in 1827, fellow of his college 1828, and M.A. 1830. He was admitted a student of the Inner Temple 30 January 1827, and called to the bar there 10 June 1831, and then went the northern circuit.

paragraph: He soon became known as a most accurate and careful junior; he was a master of the science of special pleading, and learned in all branches of the law. He was not, however, a successful "nisi prius" advocate, but obtained a large practice as a junior. His opinion was sought by commercial clients in patent cases, mercantile disputes, and real property cases.

paragraph: In 1852 and again in 1859 he was an unsuccessful conservative candidate for East Surrey. He had previously purchased an estate called Ledgers, six miles east of Croydon. He was appointed a queen's counsel on 22 February 1861, and in the same year became a bencher of his inn. In February 1868 he contested the university of Cambridge without success against Alexander Beresford Hope.

paragraph: Cleasby became a Baron of the Exchequer on 25 August 1868, was nominated a serjeant on the same day, admitted on 2 November, and on 9 December was knighted. As a judge he was so cautious and diffident that he won little popular applause. In the criminal courts he was never quite at home. The juries were puzzled by his extremely conscientious efforts to explain the whole law. In his written judgements, however, he spared no pains, and they were always thorough and exhaustive. He retired on a pension in October 1878; went to his country house, Penoyre, near Brecon, which he had purchased after his elevation to the bench; and died on 6 October 1879.

paragraph: He married, on 26 March 1836, Lucy Susan, youngest daughter of Walter Fawkes of Farnley Hall, Yorkshire.

paragraph: Negro of Banyoles

paragraph: The Negro of Banyoles () was a controversial piece of taxidermy of a San individual, which used to be a major attraction in the Darder Museum of Banyoles (Catalonia, Spain). In 2000, the remains of the man were sent to Botswana for burial.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: In 1830, the Verreaux brothers stuffed the corpse of a member of the San, analysis of the teeth showed that man was approximately 27 years old, having features typical of the African bushman. In 1916, it was acquired by the Darder Museum of Banyoles. The body remained in the museum without controversy until 29 October 1991. At this date Alphonse Arcelin, a doctor of Haitian origin who lived in Cambrils where he was a PSC councillor, wrote a letter to the mayor of Banyoles, Joan Solana, asking him to stop displaying the San's remains. This request attracted the attention of the press, which widely published the story.

paragraph: The first step towards the return of the ""negre"" to Botswana was made in 1991, when the then-secretary of UNESCO, Federico Mayor Zaragoza, held the meeting with Joan Solana. Later, when Kofi Annan became Secretary-General of the United Nations, he expressed interest in the issue and spoke with Solana.

paragraph: By that time, the ""negre"" had become so notorious that it was quite usual to hear references made to the displayed San in diplomatic communications. Some African governments showed their support for Arcelín, who had sent several letters to the press and various heads of government. The issue worried many international museum associations because it made them fear that human remains kept in museums might have to be returned to their place of origin.

paragraph: In 1997, the issue was repeatedly discussed by both the UN and the Organisation of African Unity. Later, in March of that year, the body was removed from the Darder Museum. It was described in "El Mundo" as a relic of colonialism. Many people in Banyoles and the surrounding area were unhappy with the removal because the San was seen as "a member of the community".

paragraph: Section::::History.:Return to Africa.

paragraph: Botswana's government offered to aid the OAU bury the man, once all of his remains were returned to Africa. In 2000, after the loincloth, feathered head-dress and spear he had worn in Banyoles were removed, the body was sent to the National Museum of Anthropology in Madrid where artificial parts including a wooden spine, eyes, hair, and genitals were removed. The skull and remaining bones were then sent to Botswana in a coffin and they arrived on 4 October. He was buried on 5 October in Tsholofelo Park, in Gaborone;; his gravesite was declared a national monument.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The Darder Museum currently avoids any references to the controversy of the "negre of Banyoles". The only record of the San in the museum is a silent video with black and white images on a small plasma screen. The video allows people to see the San as he was displayed until his removal.

paragraph: Several books have dealt with the ""el negre"" controversy, most notably "El Negro en ik" (El Negro and me) by Frank Westerman, which shows that naturalist Georges Cuvier knew about the man.

paragraph: Like her sister Selina, Countess of Bradford, Anne was an intimate friend of Benjamin Disraeli.

paragraph: She continued to live at Bretby Hall. She died on 27 July 1885 having outlived her son and daughter.

paragraph: Margaret Cabell Self

paragraph: Margaret Cabell Self (1902 – 1996) was an American riding instructor and writer on horsemanship. Born into the Cabell family, notable in Virginia history, Self turned to writing and teaching in order to keep her horses during the Great Depression and made her own mark as one of the Cabell family's most prominent members of the 20th century. She founded the New Canaan Mounted Troop to educate children about horses and horsemanship, and wrote over 40 books.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Self was born Margaret Logan Cabell in 1902 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and grew up in Warminster, Virginia, in Nelson County. The Cabell family was a large and historically influential political family that made significant contributions to Virginia.

paragraph: The Warminster area is described as “Cabell Country” by multiple sources. The Cabell family's presence in Virginia traces to 1723, when the first William Cabell, a doctor from Warminster, in England, arrived in America. He founded Warminster, Virginia about 1742, and his descendants formed a corporation in 1957 to maintain family graveyards and memorials. The "Cabell Country" area extends to Cabell County, West Virginia, named after Virginia governor William H. Cabell. The Cabells had a wide and remarkable impact on several counties in this area that are referred to collectively as "Cabell Country." There is a rich history of Cabell County, West Virginia. Apparently, starting in 1669, several Cabells settled this part of colonial Virginia, until full settlement of what today is Huntington, West Virginia. This culminated with the creation of Cabell County by an act of the Virginia General Assembly on January 2, 1809. Since these areas encompass more than one county, and county lines changed, as well as the creation the state of West Virginia, the present day term Cabell Country is used to refer to all land settled by Cabells. The name "Margaret" was carried by a number of women throughout the history of the Cabell family.

paragraph: Self's nickname was "Nonie." She wrote that she learned to ride before she could walk, and was a skilled rider by the time she reached her teens. She went to college in New York City at the Women's School of Applied Design from 1917-1919 and the Parsons School of Design in 1921. She married Sydney Baldwin Self (1896-1980) in 1921. He had been her brother's college roommate, and the couple met while she was living in New York.

paragraph: Sydney and Margaret Self had four children, Sydney "Skip" Baldwin Self, Jr., Shirley "Lee" Self Brotherhood, Hartwell "Toby" Cabell Self, and Virginia "Gincy" Logan Self Bucklin. Self began to teach each child how to ride as they turned two years old. Gincy Self Bucklin became a professional horsewoman and writer on horsemanship in her own right.

paragraph: Cabell was described as a “veritable Doctor Doolittle” by George Morris, as she kept many animals. When Morris was a child, riding in her New Caanan Mounted Troop, he witnessed that the family chickens were allowed to wander into the kitchen.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Self made her own mark as one of the more prominent members of her birth family in the 20th century along with writer James Branch Cabell. After marriage, the Selfs moved to New Canaan, Connecticut, in 1923 and lived on Point o’ Forks Farm, where Margaret re-established her work with horses. She opened a public stable in 1929, where she began to teach riding lessons as a professional. When she became concerned that she might not be able to afford to keep her horses during the Great Depression, she also began to write books about horses. Her first nonfiction book was "Teaching the Young to Ride," published in 1935. Her first published novel was "Red Clay Country", released in 1936. In 1946, she published the commercially successful "The Horseman’s Encyclopedia", which brought her significant publicity. Self also taught horsemanship clinics. She authored over 40 books, most of them about horses, and wrote a column for the "Pittsburgh Press".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:New Canaan Mounted Troop.

paragraph: Self founded the New Canaan Mounted Troop in 1939, part of the Junior Cavalry of America. Open to boys and girls both, and described by some as “scouts on horseback,” the purpose of the troop was to teach children life skills as well as impart knowledge about horses and horsemanship. The children wore uniforms and not only rode horses, but also learned about grooming and other basic horse care as well as doing military exercises such as marching in figures. Among the members of the troop in its early years was future Olympian George H. Morris, who became a member in 1945 when he was seven years old. The New Canaan Mounted Troop is still in existence and is now a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission to "build leadership, responsibility and confidence in youth through sound horsemanship." As in Self's time, the program still requires children to do horse care and barn-cleaning chores as well as learning how to ride. Today the program has added equine-assisted therapy to its repertoire, conducts summer camps, and provides scholarships so children of modest means can participate.

paragraph: Section::::Retirement.

paragraph: Upon retirement, the Selfs spent winters in Mexico, and moved to Block Island, off the coast of Rhode Island, in 1962. In 1970, Self co-founded a newspaper with Dan Rattiner. "The Block Island Times" began with herself as the editor and Rattiner as the publisher. The audience was the summer tourist community until 1982 then it went yearly. Self edited the paper for ten years. Self continued to ride into her 80s.

paragraph: Sydney Self died in 1980. Margaret lived 16 more years after her husband's death and died in 1996. There is a memorial to Sydney and Margaret in the Cabell family cemetery in Edgewood, a property on the National Register of Historic Places.

paragraph: Section::::Published works.

paragraph: Self published over 40 books in her career, including:

paragraph: Sher Valenzuela

paragraph: Cheryl "Sher" Valenzuela is an American small-business owner and politician. She was the Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Delaware in 2012 and unsuccessfully ran for the Republican nomination for State Treasurer of Delaware in 2014.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Valenzuela married her husband Eli and moved to Delaware in the early 1990s to care for her aging mother in neighboring New Jersey. She is a mother of three sons in a blended family, with Ian from her previous marriage, Simon from her current husband, and Pedro whom they adopted. Her second son, Simon, was diagnosed as autistic and Valenzuela describes the fight to overcome the negative prognosis as one of the reasons she would start her small business.

paragraph: She and her husband are the vice president and president, respectively, of their own small business, First State Manufacturing, an industrial upholstery company based in Milford, Delaware. For her efforts and contributions to the Delaware economy, Valenzuela was awarded the Small Business Administration's Small Businessperson of the Year Award in 2012. First State Manufacturing employs approximately 60 people and provides a variety of goods ranging from seat covers for restaurants, to engine covers for the United States Air Force, to ballistic vests for the Israel Defense Forces.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: In April 2012, Valenzuela was nominated by the Delaware Republican Party as its candidate for Lieutenant Governor. She ran against incumbent Democrat Matthew Denn and Libertarian challenger Margie Waite-McKeown.

paragraph: On August 28, 2012, Valenzuela spoke at the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida. She spoke that night between fellow Republican women candidates Mia Love, the incumbent mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, and nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives in Utah's 2nd congressional district; and Cathy Rodgers, the incumbent U.S. Representative for Washington's 5th congressional district.

paragraph: On November 6, 2012, the 2012 Delaware lieutenant gubernatorial election took place, where Valenzuela lost to incumbent Denn. She received 37.1% of the vote, versus Denn's 61.6%, and only held a lead in Sussex County, failing to receive a majority of votes in Kent County, New Castle County, or the greater Wilmington metropolitan area. Valenzuela, however, did lose by a smaller margin to her opponent than did any of the other statewide Republican candidates in the state.

paragraph: In 2014, Valenzuela ran for State Treasurer of Delaware. She was defeated in the Republican primary by Ken Simpler following a contentious race marked by infighting and with outside spending behind both candidates, who frequently criticized each other.

paragraph: Alessandro Martini

paragraph: Alessandro Martini (16 May 1812 – 14 March 1905) was an Italian businessman, founder of one of the most important vermouth companies in the world, Martini & Rossi, which produces the Martini vermouth.

paragraph: In 1830 he purchased a small wine company situated very close to Turin. In 1847 several Italian businessmen started producing wine, spirits and vermouth for the Distilleria Nazionale di Spirito di Vino of Turin. Thanks to the Risorgimento, the economic prospects were bright and the organization soon began to turn a profit. A few years later, Alessandro Martini joined the small team, becoming the director in 1863 along with Luigi Rossi (who was the inventor of a vermouth) and Teofilo Sola. During this early period the Distilleria Nazionale di Spirito di Vino kept on growing and a several subsidiaries were created in Genoa, Cagliari and Narbonne thanks to the protection of the King of Piedmont.

paragraph: In 1863, which can be considered one of the most important dates in the company's history (so much so that it is still written on the bottle), Martini, Sola and Rossi changed the name of the company to "Martini, Sola & Cia". They started exporting the bottles of vermouth around the world. New York city was given its first crates in 1867. At the same time the firm was awarded a good many prizes, which are still proudly recorded on the bottles: Dublin (1865), Paris (1867 and 1878), Vienna (1873) and Philadelphia (1876). Just thirty years after its creation, Martini was drunk in the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Greece, Portugal, Belgium, Egypt and other countries.

paragraph: In 1879 Sola died, and his sons sold all their shares in the company. The firm consequently decided to change its name to Martini & Rossi, the name seen today on the bottles sold in the United States. Between 1870 and 1880 the company diversified and the two directors launched Vino Canelli Spumante (now known as Asti Martini). One of their successes was to build upon the traditions of the late 19th-century European courts' fondness for vermouth. In 1868 the company was authorized by King Victor Emmanuel II of Savoy to put the symbols of the royal family on their packaging. King Louis of Portugal (1872), the Queen of Austria, Christina (also regent of Spain) (1897) and the British Parliament did the same. The symbols of Melbourne, Anvers and Mendoza quickly followed; their marks are still seen on the packaging to this day.

paragraph: When Alessandro Martini died in 1905, the three sons of Luigi Rossi inherited the company. They had already launched Martini Extra Dry (1900) and Martini Bianco before his death, and had created subsidiaries around the world. In 1922 the company officially became known as Martini, except in the United States where they were compelled to keep Martini & Rossi because Martini was already an American cocktail.

paragraph: Marcel-Paul Schützenberger

paragraph: Marcel-Paul "Marco" Schützenberger (October 24, 1920 – July 29, 1996) was a French mathematician and Doctor of Medicine. He worked in the fields of formal language, combinatorics, and information theory. In addition to his formal results in mathematics, he was "deeply involved in [a] struggle against the votaries of [neo-]Darwinism", a stance which has resulted in some mixed reactions from his peers and from critics of his stance on evolution. Several notable theorems and objects in mathematics as well as computer science bear his name (for example Schutzenberger group or the Chomsky–Schützenberger hierarchy). Paul Schützenberger was his great-grandfather.

paragraph: In the late 1940s, he was briefly married to the psychologist Anne Ancelin Schützenberger.

paragraph: Section::::Contributions to medicine and biology.

paragraph: Schützenberger's first doctorate, in medicine, was awarded in 1948 from the "Faculté de Médecine de Paris". His doctoral thesis, on the statistical study of gender at birth, was distinguished by the Baron Larrey Prize from the French Academy of Medicine.

paragraph: Biologist Jaques Besson, a co-author with Schützenberger on a biological topic, while noting that Schützenberger is perhaps most remembered for work in pure mathematical fields, credits him for likely being responsible for the introduction of statistical sequential analysis in French hospital practice.

paragraph: Section::::Contributions to mathematics and linguistics.

paragraph: Schützenberger's second doctorate was awarded in 1953 from Université Paris III. This work, developed from earlier results is counted amongst the early influential French academic work in information theory. His later impact in both linguistics and combinatorics is reflected by two theorems in formal linguistics (the Chomsky–Schützenberger enumeration theorem and the Chomsky–Schützenberger representation theorem), and one in combinatorics (the Schützenberger theorem). With Alain Lascoux, Schützenberger is credited with the foundation of the notion of the plactic monoid, reflected in the name of the combinatorial structure called by some the Lascoux–Schützenberger tree.

paragraph: The mathematician Dominique Perrin credited Schützenberger with "deeply [influencing] the theory of semigroups", and "deep results on rational functions and transducers," amongst other contributions to mathematics.

paragraph: Michele Sanmicheli

paragraph: Michele Sanmicheli (also spelled "Sanmmicheli", "Sanmichele" or "Sammichele") (1484–1559), was a Venetian architect and urban planner of Mannerist-style, among the greatest of his era. A tireless worker, he was in charge of designing buildings and religious buildings of great value.

paragraph: Hired by the "Serenissima" as a military architect, he designed also numerous fortifications in the extensive Venetian Empire, thus ensuring a great reputation. In fact, not only in Italy, where you can find his works in Venice, Verona, Bergamo and Brescia, he worked also in Dalmatia, Zadar (Zara), Šibenik, Crete and Corfu. He was probably the only practicing Venetian architect of the sixteenth century to have had the opportunity to study Greek architecture, a possible source of inspiration for the use of Doric columns without bases.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Sanmicheli was born in San Michele, a quarter of Verona, which at the time was part of the Venetian "Terra ferma". He learnt the elements of his profession from his father Giovanni and his uncle Bartolomeo, who both practised successfully as builder-architects in Verona. Like Jacopo Sansovino he was a salaried official of the Republic of Venice, but unlike Sansovino, his commissions lay in Venetian territories outside Venice; he was no less distinguished as a military architect, and was employed in strengthening Venetian fortifications in Crete, Candia, Dalmatia and Corfu as well as a great fort at the Lido, guarding the sea entrance to the Venetian lagoon.

paragraph: He went at an early age to Rome, probably to work as an assistant to Antonio da Sangallo the Elder, where he had opportunities to study classic sculpture and architecture. In 1509 he went to Orvieto where he practiced for the next two decades. Among his earliest works are the first design of the "duomo" of Montefiascone, initiated in 1519, an octagonal building surmounted with a dome, and the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, he designed and built the funerary chapel for the Petrucci family in the Gothic church of San Domenico in Orvieto. Several palazzi at both places are attributed to him.

paragraph: Sanmicheli was in Verona by 1527 at the latest, working on the monumental cannon-resistant city gates; he began to transform the fortifications of Verona according to the newer system of corner bastions, a system for the advancement of which he did much valuable service. Sanmicheli built two massively fortified and richly decorated city gates for Verona, the "Porta Nuova" and the "Porta Palio", in which the richest possible Roman Doric is superimposed against layers of rustication. Giorgio Vasari's impression was that "in these two gates it may truly be seen that the Venetian Senate made full use of the architect's powers and equalled the buildings and works of the ancient Romans – the constant aim and ultimate goal of the Renaissance architects. He also regularised the Piazza Brà, opening up a vista to the Arena.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: He found time to spare from his official commissions to build three "palazzi" in Verona that have been central to his reputation, though documentation has proved elusive. These are:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Palazzo Pompei" (probably begun around 1530) is an enriched version of Bramante's House of Raphael. The entrance has been moved to the center of a seven-bay façade and given a slightly wider central bay; in order to prevent the composition from rifting apart, the corner columns of the outermost bays are stressed by being doubled with square pilasters.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Palazzo Canossa" (under construction in 1537), with another seven-bay front, has a triple-arched central entrance in a high rusticated basement that is pierced by low mezzanine windows. In the "piano nobile" arch-headed windows are framed by doubled pilasters, so that each bay reads as a unit complete in itself, while the arch imposts are emphasized by a moulding that appears to run continuously behind the pilasters, to tie together the sequence of bays. There is a second mezzanine above the piano nobile, under a powerfully projecting cornice capped with a balustrade, with a skyline of figural sculptures. Strong mouldings continue the imposts of the arched openings and windows. The palazzo wraps round a three-sided court open to the Adige on the fourth side.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Palazzo Bevilacqua" (under construction in 1529), the most famous of the three and often cited as an exemplar of Mannerism in architecture, is the richest façade of its generation, rivalling Giulio Romano's Palazzo Te. Its complex superimposed layers, its alternating superimposed rhythms of large and small bays and straight and spiralling fluting, the rich carved decor in its keystones and in the spandrels of the "piano nobile" arches, climax in the rich sculpture of its corbelled cornice.

paragraph: One of Sanmicheli's most graceful designs is the "Cappella Pellegrini" in the church of San Bernardino at Verona, where the cylindrical exterior masks a domed interior that rearranges elements of the Pantheon. His other works include Palazzo Corner a San Polo and Palazzo Grimani di San Luca in Venice, the "Porta Terraferma" in Zadar and the funerary Petrucci Chapel in the church of San Domenico in Orvieto.

paragraph: Beside the Ponte Nuovo in Verona (demolished in the late 19th century), his last work, begun in 1559, was the "Santuario di Madonna di Campagna" (or "Santa Maria della Pace"), formerly outside Verona on the road to Venice. The cylindrical church, with a band of blind and windowed arcading under a wide plain frieze, crowned with a dome, was probably modified during its construction by Bernardino Brugnoli.

paragraph: Laomedon of Mytilene

paragraph: Laomedon (in Greek Λαoμέδων ὁ Μυτιληναῖος; lived during the 4th century BC) was a native of Mytilene and son of Larichus. He was one of Alexander the Great's generals, and appears to have enjoyed a high place in his confidence even before the death of Philip II, as he was one of those banished by that monarch (together with his brother Erigyius, Ptolemy, Nearchus, and others) for taking part in the intrigues of the young prince.

paragraph: After the death of Philip in 336 BC, Laomedon, in common with the others who had suffered on this occasion, was held by Alexander in the highest honour: he accompanied him to Asia, where, on account of his acquaintance with the Persian language, he was appointed in charge of the captives. Though his name is not afterwards mentioned during the wars of Alexander, the high consideration he enjoyed is sufficiently attested by his obtaining in the division of the provinces, after the king's death in 323 BC, the important government of Syria.

paragraph: This he was still allowed to retain on the second partition at Triparadisus in 321 BC, but it was not long before the provinces of Phoenicia and Coele-Syria attracted the interest of his powerful neighbour Ptolemy. The Egyptian king at first offered Laomedon a large sum of money in exchange for his government. When the latter rejected his overtures, he sent Nicanor with an army to invade Syria.

paragraph: Laomedon was unable to offer any effective resistance. He was made prisoner by Nicanor and sent to Egypt. However, he managed to escape and joined Alcetas in Pisidia. It is probable that Laomedon took part in the subsequent contest involving Alcetas, Attalus, and the other surviving partisans of Perdiccas against Antigonus, and shared in their final overthrow by Antigonus in 320 BC, but his individual fate is not mentioned.

paragraph: Thomas James (bishop)

paragraph: John Thomas James (1786 – 1828) was a Church of England bishop. He was bishop of Calcutta from 1827 to 1828. He also wrote travel and art books.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born 23 January 1786 at Rugby, he was the eldest son of Thomas James, head-master of Rugby School, by his second wife. He was educated at Rugby until he was twelve years old, when, through the influence of the Earl of Dartmouth, he was placed on the foundation of Charterhouse School. In 1803 he gained the first prize medal given by the Society for the Encouragement of Arts and Sciences. He left Charterhouse in May 1804, and entered Christ Church, Oxford, as a commoner. After the death of his father, 23 September 1804, he was nominated dean's student by Cyril Jackson. He graduated B.A. 9 March 1808, and M.A. 24 October 1810, and continued to reside at Oxford, first as a private tutor and afterwards as student and tutor of Christ Church, till 1813, when he went abroad.

paragraph: During this time James visited the courts of Berlin, Stockholm, and St. Petersburg. He visited Moscow, which had just then been burned, and went through Poland to Vienna. In 1816 James visited Italy, and studied painting at Rome and Naples. On his return to England he took holy orders, and resigned his studentship on being presented by the dean and chapter of Christ Church to the vicarage of Flitton-cum-Silsoe in Bedfordshire.

paragraph: James's appointment to the bishopric of Calcutta, in succession to Reginald Heber, came at the end of 1826, and he resigned his vicarage in April 1827. The University of Oxford gave him the degree of D.D. by diploma on 10 May, and on Whitsunday, 3 June, he was consecrated at Lambeth. He landed at Calcutta 18 January 1828, and was installed in Calcutta Cathedral on the following Sunday, the 20th.

paragraph: For purposes of organisation James divided the city of Calcutta into three parochial districts, the fort itself constituting a fourth. On 20 June 1828 he set out on a visitation to the western provinces of his diocese, but, taken ill, he returned to Calcutta and was advised to take a sea voyage. He sailed for China on 9 August, but died during the voyage on 22 August.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: James published, in 1816, a "Journal of a Tour in Germany, Sweden, Russia, and Poland, during 1813 and 1814", Subsequent editions appeared in 1817 and 1819. He published two works on art—"The Italian Schools of Painting", in 1820, and "The Flemish, Dutch, and German Schools of Painting", in 1822—and a theological work entitled "The Semi-Sceptic, or the Common Sense of Religion considered", in 1825. His intention was to add treatises on the English, French, and Spanish schools. In 1826 he began the publication of a series of "Views in Russia, Sweden, Poland, and Germany". These were engraved on stone by himself, and coloured so as to represent originals. Five numbers appeared during 1826 and 1827, when the publication was interrupted. A "Charge" by him was published in 1829.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: In 1823 James married Marianne Jane, fourth daughter of Frederick Reeves, of East Sheen, Surrey, and formerly of Mangalore, in the Bombay presidency.

paragraph: Francesco Camporesi

paragraph: Francesco Camporesi (1747, Bologna – 1831, Moscow) was an Italian architect, painter, engraver and educator who worked in Moscow in 1780s-1820s. Most of his architectural work perished in the Fire of 1812, was severely altered, demolished or otherwise lost.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Camporesi arrived in Russia in 1780s, probably as an assistant to Giacomo Quarenghi. Extent of his architectural work in 18th century remains disputed, and he is better known as a fine vedutist who documented Moscow prior to the devastating Fire of 1812.

paragraph: For a decade (1784-1796) Camporesi worked under Quarenghi and Karl Blank on the Catherine's Palace in Moscow, where he was employed both as an architect and a plasterer craftsman. Eventually, he developed into a "generalist architect": capable of independently managing construction projects, Camporesi was regularly employed by private clients - for his design talents as well as business capabilities. His input to Nikolai Sheremetev's Ostankino Palace, for example, included interior design, architectural drafts of palace expansion, and also budget schedules and hiring craftsmen.

paragraph: Works by the architect are best preserved in the vicinity of Yakhroma, in former estates of Apraksin and Sheremetev families. Camporesi also left a significant legacy of unbuilt architectural drafts (preserved at the Moscow Museum of Architecture), including an unusual large octagonal structure codenamed "Moscow House". Contemporary studies fail to explain the purpose of this elaborate project; probably, it's octagonal plan was a homage to Saint Michael's Castle, commissioned by one of emperor Paul's statesmen and discarded after Paul's death.

paragraph: In 1810s-1820s Camporesi was employed by the Commission of Moscow Kremlin; in addition to restoration of Kremlin buildings he coached students of the Kremlin school of architecture, most notably Domenico Giliardi and Afanasy Grigoriev.
