=Philax=, cousin of the Princess Imis. The fay Pagan shut them up in the ”Palace of Revenge,” a superb crystal palace, containing every delight except the power of leaving it.

Townley, _High Life Below Stairs_ (1759).

=Philip Nolan=, officer in U. S. Navy, condemned by president of court martial for complicity with Aaron Burr, and for swearing at the United States, ”never to hear the name of the United States again.” He is pa.s.sed from one man-of-war to another, never allowed to converse upon national affairs, to see a U. S. newspaper or read a history of the United States, until homesick and heartsick, after an exile of fifty-five years, he dies, praying for the country that had disowned him.--Edward Everett Hale, _The Man Without a Country_ (1863).

=Philip Nye=, brought up for the Anglican Church, but became a Presbyterian, and afterwards an independent. He was noted for the cut of his beard.
