tion of the case was published in pamphlet-form (1818). and was widely quoted.
GLOVER, William, govevnor of North Caro-
lina, b. about 1070. In 1705 Thomas Gary obtained
a commission as deputy-governor of North Caro-
lina. While collector of the rents he had neglected
to settle his accounts, and the lords proprietors,
disapproving of his election to this office, directed
their deputies to appoint one of their number in his
place. Their choice fell upon William Glover. For
a time Cary yielded to this change, but afterward
seized the records of the province, and proclaimed
himself governor. This led to anarchy, as the colo-
ny was soon divided into factions, the church,
royalists, and adherents of the proprietaries being
in Glover's division, and the party swayed by demo-
cratic instincts belonging to that of Cary. From
1706 till 1710 each party had its own government,
and elected its own council. Irritated by the per-
secutions of Cary, the partisans of Glover at last
sought refuge in Virginia.
GLÜCK, James Fraser, lawyer, b. in Niagara
Falls, N. Y.. 28 April, 1852; d. in New York city,
15 Dec, 1897. He was gi'aduated at Cornell, and
then studied law, which he practised in Buffalo,
acting as attorney for the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad company and other corpora-
tions. Mr. Gllick was prominent in politics, and
held the office of president of the Central Republi-
can club of Erie county. His work in perfecting
the organization of his party in Buffalo attracted
attention throughout the country. He was curator
of the Buffalo library, and presented that library
with one of the most valuable collections of auto-
graphs, manuscripts, and letters in the United
States. It includes complete book manuscripts of
106 eminent American and English authors: let-
ters, addresses, essays, and other autograph frag-
ments (in many cases a large number of an author's
manuscripts) of about 100 eminent American men
and women of letters ; of eighty-eight eminent Eng-
lish men and women : a small collection of manu-
scripts of French, German, and other continental
authors ; Latin missals of the 15th century, Persian
scripts, and many American and English historical
documents, seals, and other relics. Mr. Glijck was
also a trustee of Cornell, a trustee of the Buffalo acad-
emy of sciences, and vice-president of the State bar
association. Among his public addresses are the
following : " The Position of the Scholar in Poli-
tics," delivered before the Cornell alumni in 1877 ;
" The Power and Influence of Music," at the laying
of the corner-stone of the new Music hall in Buf-
falo ; and " The Responsibilities and Rights of the
Medical Profession," at the commencement of the
University of Buffalo.
GLYNN, James, naval officer, b. about 1800 ; d.
13 May, 1871. He entered the U. S. navy, 4 March,
1815, was made lieutenant, 18 Jan., 1825, command-
er, 8 Sept., 1841, and served on the California
coast during the Mexican war. In command of the
sloop-of-war " Preble," 14 guns, he was sent to
Cliina. From the Dutch consul at Canton, (!om.
(icisinger learned of the imprisonment at Naga-
saki of eighteen American sailors, wrecked in Yezo,
5 June, 1846. Despite imperfect charts and un-
known seas, and the fact that Com. Biddle, with the
U. S. ship of the line " Columbus " and the sloop
" Vincennes." had been repelled but a few months
before in the Bay of Yedo, Glynn faced the northeast
monsoon, and arrived in Nagasaki harbor, 17 April.
Dashing through the cordon of boats, he anchored
under the batteries within a mile of the city, and,
when boarded by interpreters, demanded the re-
lease within two days of the American seamen,
and, in the face of military menace and prepara-
tions, pressed his claim. After parleys and ex-
cuses, the whole party of eighteen was delivered
on the deck of the " Preble " on the 26th. The first
result of this voyage was a detailed and formal
proposition made by Glynn to the U. S. government
to attempt the peaceful opening of Japan by diplo-
macy, backed by a show of force. The expedition,
as finally organized, grew to the proportions of a
fleet, the connnand of which was claimed by offi-
cers of highest rank — first by Aulick, and then by
Perry. Other results of this episode were prepa-
ration of the Japanese mind for Perry, the training
of the interpreter Moriyama Yenosuke, who did
good service in 1854, and of the hydrographer,
Lieut. Silas Bent, the only officer in Perry's fleet
conversant with Japanese waters, who, in a paper
read before the American geographical society in
1856, first clearly defined and described the Kuro
Shiwo, " Dark Stream," or Gulf Stream of the
Pacific ocean. Glynn was made a captain in 1855.
GMEINER, John, clergyman, b. in Baernau,
Bavaria, 5 Dec, 1847. He came with his parents,
in 1849, to Milwaukee, Wis., entered the theologi-
cal seminary there in 1859, and was ordained priest,
10 June, 1870. He was pastor of various congrega-
tions up to 1876, at the same time editing the
" Catholic Columbian," and contributing frequent-
ly to German and English Roman Catholic jour-
nals. He was appointed professor of ecclesiastical
history and homiletics in the seminary of St. Fran-
cis of Sales, Milwaukee, in 1876, which chair he still
holds (1887). He has published " Die katholische
Kirche in den Vereinigten Staaten " (Milwaukee,
1875): "Sind wir dem Weltende nahe?" (Detroit,
1877) ; " Modern Scientific Views and Christian
Doctrines compared" (Milwaukee, 1884); "The
Spirits of Darkness and their Manifestations on
Earth, or Ancient and Modern Spiritualism " (1886) :
and " The Church and the Various Nationalities of
the United States" (1887).
GODDARD, Calvin, jurist, b. in Shrewsbury,
Mass., 17 July, 1768; d. in Norwich, Conn., 2 May,
1842. He was graduated at Dartmouth in 1786,
studied law with Oliver Ellsworth, was admitted
to the bar in 1790, and settled in Plainfield, Conn.
In 1791 he was sent to the state legislature, and,
with re-elections, continued to serve until 1801,
being speaker during the last three years. He was
then elected to congress from Connecticut, and
held his seat for two terms — from 7 Dec, 1801, till
3 March, 1805. He removed to Norwich in 1807,
and was a member of the state executive council
from 1808 till 1815. He was a presidential elector
in 1812, and a delegate to the Hartford convention
in 1814. From 1815 till 1818 he was judge of the
superior court of Connecticut. Subsequently, for
five years, he held the office of district attorney
for the county of New London, and for seventeen
years was mayor of Norwich.
GODDARD, Calvin Luther, inventor, b. in Covington, N. Y., 22 Jan., 1820. He was graduated at Yale in 1845, after which he taught the classics in New York for a year. From 1846 till 1854 he was engaged as a clerk, and then began
business on his own account. His attention seems to have been called at once to the necessity of thoroughly cleansing wool in the earliest stages of its manufacture, in order to secure perfection in the finished product, and to this end he arranged a burring picker. Subsequently he patented solid packing burring machines, and feed-rolls as an attachment for the carding-machine, and has since devised several valuable improvements for this machine. The steel ring feed-rolls, with ad-
