DONOSO CORTES, JUAN FRANCISCO MANUEL MARIA DE LA SALUD : Marquis de Valdegamas, Spanish author and statesman; b. at Valle de la Serena (near Castuera, 135 m. s.w. of Madrid), in Estremadura, May 9, 1809; d. in Paris May 3, 1853. He studied law in Salamanca and Seville and settled in Madrid, where he engaged in literature and politics. In the revolution of 1832 he took the part of Isabella against Don Carlos. He entered the Cortes in 1835. About this time he established a newspaper, the Avenir, in which he published many articles of political and historical character. He continued to give his enthusiastic support to Isabella and accompanied her on her flight to England in 1840. On her return to Spain in 1843 he was appointed secretary and tutor for the young queen. In 1848 he was sent as ambassador to Berlin, but returned to Madrid in the same year. He immediately reentered the Cortes, where, in Jan., 1848, he startled his party and his country with a bitter denunciation of all liberal principles and the demand for a dictatorship. In 1851 he proclaimed the absolute supremacy of the Roman Catholic Church in his Ensayo sombre el catolicismo, el liberalismo y el socialismo. This essay, an eloquent and brilliant plea for the ideas of Gregory VII. and Innocent III. against modern tendencies, was immediately translated into French and German, and, a few years later, into English. Essay on Catholicism, Liberalism and Socialism, in Their Fundamental Principles, Philadelphia, 1862; another transl., Dublin, 1874. At the close of his career, he was ambassador at Paris for two years.
A collected edition of his works in five volumes, including a biography by Tejado, was published at Madrid in 1855. A French edition appeared in Paris in 1858.
Bibliography: Besides the biography by G. Tejado, mentioned above, there is a sketch from the Italian of G. E. de Castro in the Philadelphia translation and an excelient sketch in KL, iii. 1982-85.
DONUS (DOMNUS): Pope Aug., 676-Apr., 678. All that is known of him is that he was a Roman by birth, that he adorned certain churches in Rome, and that he banished the Syrian monks from Rome. The Bonus II. assigned by some lists to 974 did not exist, but is due to a misreading of the title Domnus (dominus) papa as a proper name. Bibliography: Liber pontificalis, ed. L. Duchesne, i. 348,

DOOLITTLE, THOMAS: Non- conformist; b. at Kidderminster (15 m. n. of Worcester) 1631 or 1632; d. in London May 24, 1707. As a boy he was converted under the preaching of Richard Baxter. He studied for the ministry at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, and in 1653 became pastor of the parish of St. Alphage, London Wall, London. He received Presbyterian ordination and soon became popular as a preacher. When the Uniformity Act was passed in 1662 he declared himself a non-conformist and opened a boarding-school which he maintained in different localities till 1687, and after this time he continued privately to prepare pupils for the ministry.
After the great fire in London in 1666 Doolittle was one of the non-conformist preachers who defied the law by erecting meeting-houses in the ruins. For a while he was not disturbed; but, when he insisted on preaching, his meeting-house was seized and he fled to escape arrest. On the indulgence of Mar. 15, 1672, he took out a license for his meeting-house; but this was revoked the next year, and it was not till the Toleration Act of 1689 that he was allowed to resume services at his old church. While popular as a preacher, and influential as a tutor, Doolittle was neither a scholar nor an original thinker. Among the most popular of his works were: A Treatise concerning the Lord's Supper, London, 1665; A Call to Delaying Sinners, 1683; and A Complete Body of Practical Divinity, 1723, folio.
Bibliogbaphy: The Memoirs were prefixed to the Body of Practical Divinity, ut sup.; DNB, xv. 236-238.
