	Sir Kenelm Digby - LoveToKnow 1911
		SIR KENELM DIGBY (1603-1665), English author, diplomatist and naval commander, son of Sir Everard Digby, was born on the 11th of July 1603, and after his father's execution in 1606 resided with his mother at Gayhurst, being brought up apparently as a Roman Catholic.
		At length in 1627, on the latter's advice, Digby determined to attempt "some generous action," and on the 22nd of December, with the approval of the king, embarked as a privateer with two ships, with the object of attacking the French ships in the Venetian harbour of Scanderoon.
		Digby, though he possessed for the time a considerable knowledge of natural science, and is said to have been the first to explain the necessity of oxygen to the existence of plants, bears no high place in the history of science.

		Following the establishment of The Protectorate under Oliver Cromwell, who believed in freedom of conscience, Digby was received by the government as a sort of unofficial representative of English Roman Catholics, and was sent in 1655 on a mission to the Papacy to try and reach an understanding.
		At the Restoration, Digby found himself in favour with the new régime, and was highly regarded until his death at the age of 62.
		Digby was regarded as an eccentric even by his contemporaries, partly because of his effusive personality, and partly because of his interests in scientific matters.

		Digby was so convinced by this act, with Gerard's impeccable dress and knowledge of hunting, that he even once inquired of Lee as to John Gerard's suitability as a match for his sister.
		Digby expressed less surprise than his wife on finding out that Gerard was a priest, and was glad to have a priest who 'understood men like him' and could 'appear in company without danger of his priesthood being discovered'.
		Digby asked the court that although he did not justify his act, and that he deserved 'the vilest death', that punishment not be visited on his innocent family.

		Digby was now dubbed a knight by King James I. The next momentous event in his career was his marriage with Venitia, which took place privily in 1625.
		Digby's fame was now great, and in 1632 there was even talk of his becoming a secretary of state, but misfortune was nigh.
		Digby accordingly transferred his abode to Paris, where in 1644 he brought out his two great philosophical treatises of the "Nature of Bodies" and the "Immortality of Reasonable Souls".

	§18. Sir Kenelm Digby’s "Private Memoirs". IX. Historical and Political Writings. Vol. 7. Cavalier and ...
		The Private Memoirs of Sir Kenelm Digby, Gentleman of the Privy Chamber to King Charles the First, are a narrative of Digby’s wooing, and finally wedding, a celebrated beauty, the names of persons and places being veiled under more or less fictitious disguises.
		Sir Kenelm Digby had in him something of the genius of Ralegh and something of the impudence of Dr. Dee (Digby’s celebrated “sympathy powders” make the comparison permissible); but he was also a fine gentleman, an able diplomatist 28 and, on occasion, a successful naval commander.
		Digby was master of six languages and well seen in divinity—in 1636 he returned to the church of Rome of which he had originally been a member; and he seems to have possessed genuine scientific insight as well as philosophising acumen.

	Kenelm Henry Digby - LoveToKnow 1911
		DIGBY, KENELM Henry (1800-1880), English writer, youngest son of William Digby, dean of Clonfert, was born at Clonfert, Ireland, in 1800.
		Digby's reputation rests chiefly on his earliest publication, The Broadstone of Honour, or Rules for the Gentlemen of England (1822), which contains an exhaustive survey of medieval customs, full of quotations from varied sources.
		Among Digby's other works are: Mores Catholici, or Ages of Faith (11 vols., London, 1831-1840); Compitum; or the Meeting of the Ways at the Catholic Church (7 vols., London, 1848-1854); The Lovers' Seat, Kathemerina; or Common Things in relation to Beauty, Virtue and Faith (2 vols., London, 1856).

		Digby has also entered the popular imagination, appearing more than 100 times on the Internet, where we can find such oddities as his recipe for cheese cake and his remarks on tea, quoted by the Stash Tea company (I'll be watching for them on the tags of Stash Tea bags).
		Digby apparently joins Hawthorne's gallery of scientists favoring the head over the heart, who can be used in a symbolic, metaphorical, and allegorical fashion, and whose portrayal derives more from early 19th century organicism than late 17th century naturalism.
		Digby was a member of a group of Catholic philosophers in 17th century England who tried to modernize Aristotelianism, to rescue it from the hands of the medieval schoolmen by injecting into it the empirical methods of the New Science.
