Synopsis

A New General Biographical Dictionary Projected And Partly Arranged By The Late Rev. Hugh James Rose: In Twelve Volumes Unknown. This mid-19th-century, alphabetical biographical reference offers densely compact life sketches of notable figures across Europe, ranging from antiquity to the 19th century. The excerpt focuses on BE- and nearby entries, including Beethoven (Lewis von Beethoven) with a full life arc from Bonn (1770) to Vienna, training under Haydn, great works, hearing loss, political views, and death in 1827. It also surveys sculptors, painters, engravers, and printmakers such as Begarelli, Begoni, Beggi, and the Belin and Bellone families; writers and scholars like Aphra Behn, Belleau, and Bellarmine; scientists and physicians such as Behrens and Beling; military and political figures with various dukes and generals; and clerical and cultural figures with noted works and influence. Entries are highly compact, citing dates, nationalities, occupations, notable achievements, and occasional anecdotes, often referencing standard biographical sources (Biog. Univ., Suppl.; Strutt’s Dict.; Nagler). The work aims to catalog notable lives across Europe, highlighting accomplishments, influence, and character in an encyclopedic, cross-disciplinary format.
