This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from Universal Historical Dictionary; Or Explanation of the Names of Persons and Places, Vol. 2 of 2: In the Departments of Biblical, Political, and Ecclesiastical History, Mythology, Heraldry, Biography, Bibliography, Geography, and Numismatics Gama (hist.) the name of a family in Portugal, which rendered itself illustrious in history. Gama, Alva Amies de, distinguished himself, as well as his son, in the conquest of Algarve in the time of 'alphonso III. Gama, Vasco de, so famous by his discovery of the passage to the Indies by the Cape of Good Hope, was born at Sines, in Portugal, sent in 1497 by Emanuel, king of Por tugal, on a voyage of discovery; and, after encountering incredible difficulties, and undergoing many perils, he re turned in safety in the space of two years and almost two months, gratified at having effected the object of his voyage. He made a second voyage, from which he returned laden with riches; and, being appointed Viceroy of India by John III, he returned thither a third time, but died soon after his arrival in 1525. He was honoured with the title of Don for himself and his posterity, and created a grandee of Portugal. The poem 'of Camoens, entitled The Lusiad,' which celebrates the first expedition of Gama, is well known in this country by Mickle's able translation. vide Plate XV.

He was born 8 December 1778 at Palgrave, Suffolk.
He was educated at a school at Diss and under a private tutor.
He began as a medical student, but became assistant to a bookseller. This he also shortly dropped to study for the ministry at Northampton, but experienced a sudden change in his religious views. To master German language he went in 1801 to Bremen, where he supported himself by teaching English.
In 1814 he entered Magdalen Hall, Oxford, as a gentleman commoner, and shortly thereafter published his oft reprinted Dictionary of English Synonymes.
He graduated Bachelor of Arts in 1821 and Master of Arts in 1822, with mathematical honours. He was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1829, and adopted the practice of conveyancer and chamber counsel, but on account of his shy manner was not very successful.
He became a recluse, and died 4 December 1851.
