John Donne - a position he held until his death. No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. —from "Meditation XVII" Additional text from Schaff-Herzog Encyc of Religion, 1911: DONNE, JOHN: Clergyman and poet, dean of St. Paul's; b. in London - 1573; d. there Mar. 31, 1631. He studied at Hart Hall, Oxford (M.A. by convocation, 1610), and in 1592.
John Eliot (statesman) - orator, demanding boldly that the liberties and privileges of parliament, repudiated by James I in the former parliament, should be secured. In the first parliament of Charles I, in 1625, he urged the enforcement of the laws against the Roman Catholics. Meanwhile he had continued the friend and supporter of Buckingham and greatly approved of the war with Spain. Buckingham's incompetence, however, and the bad faith with which both he and the king continued to treat the parliament, alienated Eliot. Distrust of his former friend quickly grew in Eliot's mind to a certainty of his criminal ambition. Returned to the parliament of 1626 as member for St Germans, Eliot found himself, in the absence of other leaders of the opposition whom the king had secured by nominating them sheriffs, the leader.
John Davis (English explorer) - north-west discovery upon the back parts of America. After the rest of Cavendish's expedition returned unsuccessful, he continued to attempt on his own account the passage of the Strait of Magellan; though defeated here by foul weather, he discovered the Falkland Islands. The passage home was extremely disastrous, and he brought back only fourteen of his seventy-six men. After his return in 1593 he published a valuable treatise on practical navigation in The Seaman's Secrets (1594), and a more theoretical work in The Worlds Hydrographical Description (1595). His invention of backstaff and double quadrant (called a Davis Quadrant after him) held the field among English seamen till long after Hadley's reflecting quadrant had been introduced. In 1596-1597 Davis seems to have sailed with Raleigh (as master of Sir Walter's own ship).

History of Spain - European nobility and the conquest of most of South America and the West Indies, Spain began to establish itself as an empire. The Treaty of Tordesillas, negotiated by Pope Alexander VI between Portugal and Spain, effectively divided up the non-European world between these two budding empires. Massive amounts of gold and silver were imported from the New World into Spain's coffers. However, in the long run this hurt the Spanish economy much more than it helped it. The bullion caused high inflation rates, which undermined the value of Spain's currency. Additionally, Spain became dependent on her colonies for income, and when Queen Elizabeth I of England began to capture Spanish vessels on the way to and from the New World, Spain suffered massive economic losses. These effects, combined with the expulsion.
History of Venezuela - coast, the Andean mountain range, and along the Orinoco River. The first permanent Spanish settlement in South America, Nueva Cadiz was established in Venezuela in 1522. There was a plan for German settlement led by the Fugger bankers that didn't work out. The provinces which constitute today's Venezuela were relatively neglected, alternatively under the central autority of the Viceroyalties of New Spain and Peru, situated in the places where the great American Empires (mainly Aztecs and Incas) had had their capital cities. Those were the centers of interest for the Spaniards in the 1500s and 1600s because of the gold and silver mines. In the 18th century, the province of Venezuela was under the jurisdiction of the Viceroyalty of New Granada (created in 1717), since 1777 as Captaincy General of Venezuela..
History of discovery and distribution of the remains of Aegean civilization - and Salamis, at the Heraeum (see Argos) and Nauplia in the Argolid, near Thebes and Delphi, and not far from the Thessalian Larissa. During the excavations on the Acropolis at Athens, terminated in 1888, many potsherds of the Mycenaean style were found; but Olympia had yielded either none, or such as had not been recognized before being thrown away, and the temple site at Delphi produced nothing distinctively Aegean. The American explorations of the Argive Heraeum, concluded in 1895, also failed to prove that site to have been important in the prehistoric time, though, as was to be expected from its neighbourhood to Mycenae itself, there were traces of occupation in the later Aegean periods. Prehistoric research had now begun to extend beyond the Greek mainland. Certain central Aegean islands, Antiparos,.
HMS Dreadnought - distinction. After the launch, Dreadnought was brought into dock for coppering, and a great number of people went on board to view her. The following day, due to the exertions of Mr Peake, the builder, and the artificers of the dockyard, she was completely coppered in six hours and on Monday morning she went out of dock for rigging and fitting. Her first commander was Captain James Vashon. After cruising for some time in the Channel he proceeded off Cadiz and Minorca where he continued until the summer of 1802. Her first master was Mr. Banks followed by Joseph Foss Dessiou (1769-1853), who was paid off on 15th July 1802. In 1803, Captain Edward Brace briefly took command as Flag-Captain to Sir William Cornwallis, until he was relieved that same year.
HMS Victory - was close. Jervis maneuvered to intercept, and the Battle of Cape St. Vincent was joined. Principe de Asturias, leading the Spanish lee division, tried to break through the British line ahead or astern of Victory but that ship poured such a tremendous fire into her, followed by several raking broadsides, that the whole Spanish division wore round and bore up. Horatio Nelson, in HMS Captain (primarily), also played a decisive role in this action. In February 1798, Victory was stationed as a prison ship at Chatham under the command of Lieutenant J. Rickman. In 1799, Rickeman was relieved by Lieutenant J. Busbridge. In 1801, Victory was rebuilt. Lord Nelson hoisted his flag in Victory in May 1803 with Samuel Sutton as his flag captain. His Lordship sailed to assume command in.

HMS Grampus - East India convoy to see them through to the coast of Africa. On September 30, back at Portsmouth, a court martial was convened on board Raisonable in Sheerness harbour to try Lieutenant John Cheshire of Grampus. Captain Hanwell accused him of insolence, contempt, and disrespect on April 11 and similar conduct, coupled with neglect of duty, on April 15. The court found the charges unfounded and acquitted Lieutenant Cheshire. In November 1811 Captain Cockburn hoisted a broad pendant on board Grampus, preparatory to proceeding as one of three commissioners (the others were Messrs. Sydenham and Morier) nominated by the Prince Regent to mediate between Spain and her colonies. They received final instructions on April 2, 1812, and arrived in Cadiz on April 21 to find the Spanish government and the majority.
HMS Vanguard (1787) - meet her. In September, Captain T.M. Hardy took command, still under Nelson's flag. Two months later a formidable French army had invaded Naples and on December 16 Vanguard was shifted out of gunshot of the ports. On December 20 Nelson, in order to evacuate the royal family and other important people, ordered the small barge of Vanguard, covered by three barges and the small cutter of Alcmene, armed with cutlasses only, to be at the Victoria wharf. All the other boats of Vanguard and Alcmene, and the launches and carronades, were ordered to assemble on board Vanguard under the direction of Captain Hardy and row halfway to the Mola Figlio.

France and Russia had signed a peace treaty in July 1806 but the Russian Vice Admiral Seniavin fought on in the Adriatic. An expedition under Vice Admiral Duckworth attacked Constantinople in an attempt to capture the Turkish fleet at the beginning of 1807 but withdrew after losing 29 killed and 235 wounded. He refused to join Seniavin in another attempt and sailed for Egypt to capture Alexandria on March 22. Seniavin fought a battle with the Turks at Lemnos on June 19..
