The General Biographical Dictionary. Revised By A. Chalmers — New and General Biographical Dictionary — is an 18th–19th century reference work that assembles alphabetically arranged biographical sketches of European figures from antiquity to the 18th century. This portion covers surnames beginning with D and surveys religious, artistic, scientific, literary, humanitarian, legal, and political figures across Britain, France, Italy, Germany, and the Low Countries. Each entry typically provides birth and death dates, nationality, primary occupation, notable works or actions, and occasional anecdotes or bibliographic notes, often including bibliographic judgments or cross-references to other authorities. The dictionary presents a concise, evaluative digest of lives whose careers intersect literature, religion, art, and empire, highlighting intellectual contributions, public roles, and the reception or dissemination of their works. In addition to religious and clerical subjects, it features poets, painters, printers, scientists, lawyers, explorers, and diplomats, reflecting the cosmopolitan networks of patronage and scholarship that shaped early modern Europe.
