By Gloriana I mean [_true_] Glory in my general intention, but in my particular I conceive the most excellent and glorious person of our sovereign the queen [_Elizabeth_], and her kingdom is Faerye-land.—Spenser, _Introduction to The Faëry Queen_ (1590). =Glorious John=, John Dryden (1631-1701). =Glorious Preacher= (_The_), St. John Chrysostom (i.e. _John Goldenmouth_, 354-407). =Glory= (_Old_), Sir Francis Burdett (1770-1844). _Glory_ (_Mc Whirk_). Irish girl rescued from wretched dependence by a benevolent woman, and made at home in a comfortable dwelling. She has a big, warm heart that yearns over everything helpless and hurt, and, whereas, in her childhood, she mourned over “the good times” she was “not in,” she comes to rejoice constantly in the blessed truth that she is “in” them all.—A.D.T. Whitney, _Faith Gartney’s Girlhood_ (1863). =Glossin= (_Mr. Gilbert_), a lawyer, who purchases the Ellangowan estate, and is convicted by Counsellor Pleydell of kidnapping Henry Bertram, the heir. Both Glossin and Dirk Hatteraick, his accomplice, are sent to prison, and in the night Hatteraick first strangles the lawyer and then hangs himself.—Sir W. Scott, _Guy Mannering_ (time, George II.). =Gloucester= (_The duke of_), brother of Charles II.—Sir W. Scott, _Woodstock_ (time, Commonwealth). _Gloucester (Richard, duke of)_, in the court of King Edward IV.—Sir W. Scott, _Anne of Geierstein_ (time, Edward IV.) _Gloucester, (The earl of)_, in the court of King Henry II.—Sir W. Scott, _The Betrothed_ (time, Henry II.). =Glover= (_Simon_), the old glover of Perth, and father of the “fair maid.” _Catharine Glover_, “the fair maid of Perth,” daughter of Simon the glover, and subsequently bride of Henry Smith the armorer.—Sir W.

Between 1774 and 1780 every street, coffee-house, school and drawing-room in Paris canvassed the merits of these two composers, not on the score of their respective talents, but as the representatives of the German and Italian schools of music. The partisans of the German school were called Glückists, and those of the Italian school Piccinists.
