ALEXANDER TURNEY, an American merchant; born near Belfast, Ireland, Oct. 12, 1803; came to the United States in 1823 and engaged in teaching. In 1825 he began, in New York City, a dry-goods business which gradually expanded into one of the largest mercantile concerns in the world. He was a donor of large sums of money to various charitable institutions, and was active in many philanthropic undertakings. He died in New York, April 10, 1876, and was buried in St. Mark's churchyard, from which his remains were stolen on Nov. 7, 1878. It was afterward stated that the remains had been recovered and deposited in the mausoleum of the Cathedral of the Incarnation, erected by Mrs. Stewart in memory of her husband at Garden City, Long Island. 1 STEWART, CHARLES, an American naval officer; born in Philadelphia, Pa..

Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)
CHARLES erations of 1804 against Tripoli and aided in the destruction of the "Philadelphia." In 1813 he took command of the "Constitution," and in December sailed from Boston on a cruise to the coast of Guiana and the Windward Islands, which resulted in the capture of the British schooner "Picton" and several merchant vessels. A year later he sailed in the same ship on a second cruise, and on Feb. 20, 1815, captured the British ship "Cyane," mounting 34 guns, and the sloop of war "Levant," mounting 21 guns. He commanded a squadron in the Mediterranean in 1816-1820, and in the Pacific in 1821-1823; served on the board of navy commissioners; commanded the home squadron; and had charge of the naval station at Philadelphia. In 1857 he was placed on the retired list, but resumed service in 1859 as commander of the Philadelphia navy yard, and on July 16, 1862, was made rear-admiral on the retired list. He died in Bordentown, N. J., Nov. 7, 1869.
Stewart DUGALD, a Scotch philosopher
Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)
DUGALD, a Scotch philosopher; born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Nov. 22, 1753; was educated in Edinburgh and attended the lectures of Dr. Reid in Glasgow. In 1772 he began to assist his father who was Professor of Mathematics in Edinburgh University, being appointed joint-professor three years afterward. In 1778 he agreed to lecture also as a substitute for Adam Ferguson in the chair of moral philosophy, and in 1785 when the latter resigned, Dugald Stewart received the appointment. Besides holding this position for a quarter of a century, from which he spread a fine intellectual and moral influence, Stewart was the author of "Elements of the Philosophy of the Human Mind" (1792-1827), "Outlines of Moral Philosophy" (1793), and accounts of the "Life and Writings of Adam Smith," of Dr. Robertson, and of Dr. Reid. He died in 1828.
What Has Changed in the Last Century
The three lives Collier's set out in 1921 stand as written; what has moved is their afterlives. A. T. Stewart's "largest mercantile concerns in the world" did not outlive him long — the firm passed out of the family and his Broadway "Cast Iron Palace" became a Wanamaker store, while the Cathedral of the Incarnation at Garden City is today the Episcopal cathedral of the Diocese of Long Island; whether the remains stolen in 1878 were genuinely returned has never been settled to everyone's satisfaction. Charles Stewart's ship has fared better than his name: USS Constitution, which he took over in 1813, was rebuilt in the 1920s and again in the 1990s and remains the oldest commissioned warship afloat, berthed in Boston. Dugald Stewart, in 1921 still a fixture of the moral-philosophy syllabus, is now read mainly by specialists in the Scottish common-sense school and the Scottish Enlightenment.
