the committee adjourned to meet in Washington, D. C. On 27 June, 1834. he was appointed one of the general directors of the bank, serving until the expiration of its charter. He was widely known as a bibliophile and wit. His last office was that of commissioner under the fugitive-slave law. He published " English Ecclesiastical Reports " (7 vols.. Philadelphia, 1809-'35) ; "A View on the Insolvent Laws of Pennsylvania " (2d ed., 1827) ; " Gow on Partnership," with notes (1837-'45) ; and Vattel's " Law of Nations " (7th American ed. from a new ed. by Joseph Chitty, 1852). He also edited a new edition of Coleman's " Broad Grins," which is now very rare, and he published for private circulation an account of the burning of the capitol in Wash- ington by the English in 1814.
INGRAHAM, Joseph Holt, clergyman, b. in
Portland, Me., in 1809; d. at Holly Springs, Miss.,
in December, 1860. He went to sea before the
mast, and saw service in one of the South Ameri-
can revolutions. After his return he received a
collegiate education, began to write for publica-
tion before he was twenty years of age, and became
Srofessor of languages in Jefferson college, near
fatchez. Miss. In 1836 he published " The South-
west, by a Yankee." Subsequently he produced in
rapid succession a series of romances of wild ad-
venture, such as " Lafitte, or the Pirate of the Gulf "
(New York), some of which had a large circulation.
He published also a volume called " The American
Lounger." In 1855 he took orders in the P. E.
church, and was rector of a parish and of St.
Thomas's hall, a school for boys, in Holly Springs,
Miss. After he became a clergyman he published
religious romances bearing the titles " The Prince
of the House of David, or Three Years in the Holv
City " (New York, 1855) ; " The Pillar of Fire, or
Israel in Bondage " (1859) ; and " The Throne of
David, from the Consecration of the Shepherd of
Bethlehem to the Rebellion of Prince Absalom "
(Philadelphia, I860). — His son, Prentiss, soldier,
b. near Natchez, Miss., 28 Dec, 1843, was educated
at Jefferson college, Miss. He served as an officer
in the Confederate army, and was wounded and
taken prisoner at the siege of Port Hudson. After
the close of the civil war he went to Mexico and
joined the army of Juarez. He afterward saw ser-
vice in Austria, Crete, and Africa, and began a lit-
erary career in London, but on his return to the
United States took part in 1869 in the attempted
revolution in Cuba, went out on the " Hornet," and
ran the blockade several times. He published
sketches, poems, and serial stories, producing a
great number of novels and novelettes.
INGRANDE, Jose Domingo (in-gran'-day), Argentine historian, b. in Montevideo in 1759 ; d.
there in 1817. He entered the Spanish army in
1778, served several years in Europe, and was a
major when he resigned in 1786 and returned to
his country. His tastes were for historical re-
search, and while in Spain he had formed a valu-
able collection of documents on the discovery of
America. He went in 1803 to the United States,
where he remained five years, visiting all the large
cities, and lecturing in Boston and Philadelphia on
South American history and the political condition
of that country. He also contributed papers to
the reviews, and, when he returned to Montevideo,
founded the journal " El Nacional " in 1810, which
afterward took an active part in the struggles that
preceded the independence of the country. He died
suddenly, just at a time when his country needed
his vigorous journalistic talent in the agitations for
independence. He published " Viajero Universal "
(Montevideo, 1797) ; " Historia de America " (4
vols., 1801): and "Monografia de Montevideo,"
which is yet considered a standard work on the
early history of that city (1816).
INGULF, Rudolf, surnamed Ingulf Ton
Koln, German explorer and sculptor, b. in Co-
logne in 1727; d. in Vienna in 1785. He began
life as a merchant, from 1751 till 1763 lived in
Mexico, where he managed a German factory, and,
after gaining an independent fortune, followed
his taste for travel. He set out in 1764, and for
five years visited the most remote parts of Mexi-
co ; thence he crossed the isthmus of Panama, and
advanced as far as New Granada. Returning to
New Spain, he entered California, and was the first
to ascertain that it was a rich gold-field, announc-
ing that fact to the world in his " Lehrbuch der
Geographie von Californien " (Leipsic, 1771). But
the hint was neglected, and his theories, which re-
lied on a critical examination of the nature of the
soil and the geodesic formation of it, were ignored.
Among his other publications are "Reisen in Neu
Spanien" (2 vols., Leipsic, 1772, in 4to); "Die
geologischen Formationen von Californien " (Vi-
enna, 1775). These works were eagerly consulted
at the time of the subsequent discoveries of gold
in California, but never enjoyed the popularity
they deserved. His " Kosmographie von Ameri-
ka " (Vienna, 1779, with charts), although defective
in many points, is considered as one of the best
works of the kind published in the last century,
and a copy of the original edition has been sold for
700 thalers. As a sculptor Ingulf won during his
life a higher reputation than as an author. His
bust of Endymion, the group of " Mars and Venus
wounded by Diomede," the busts of Columbus, Pi-
zarro, and Velasquez, and his group of " Indians
imploring Spaniards," in Berlin, place him among
the best German sculptors of the last century.
INHAMBUPE, Antonio Luiz Pereira da Cunha (een-yam-boo'-pay), marquis of, Brazilian statesman, b. in Bahia, 6 April, 1760; d. in Rio Janeiro, 18 Sept., 1837. lie studied law, was graduated at Coimbra, and in 1802 was appointed
by the government district judge of the supreme court of Rio Janeiro. When the royal court of Portugal retired to Brazil in 1807, the regent, Don Juan, consulted him in the most difficult questions. He was appointed chancellor for the province of Bahia in 1808, and in 1809-15 was governor of the province of Rio Janeiro, afterward serving on the council of the treasury, the commission to codify the naval laws, and the council for commerce, navigation, and agriculture. At the outset of the revolution of February, 1821, in Portugal, John VI., not desiring to leave Brazil,
decided to send the crown-prince, Pedro, to Europe, and called an assembly of the deputies of the Brazilian cities to Rio Janeiro, appointing da Cunha one of the members of the commission to execute this decree. When the king was obliged to sail for Portugal, da Cunha was appointed a member of the advisory commission to the prince regent ; but in the subsequent movement for independence he
took part in favor of his country, and in 1823 was appointed by the emperor counsellor of state, and
president of the commission to organize the constitution of the empire. In the same year he was elected to the senate, and appointed its president, but left the chair twice on being called to organize a ministry. On the abdication of Pedro I., 7 April, 1831, the Marquis of Inhambupe was appointed president of the council of regency during the
minority of his son. He accepted against his wishes, and as soon as public order and tranquillity were assured he resigned and retired to private life.
