OBITUARIES, EUROPEAN. 



669 



Turks were threatened with war by Austria 

 and Prussia, because of their hospitality to the 

 Hungarian exiles, Gen. Kmety attached him- 

 self to the Turkish service. In 1851 he re- 

 turned to England, and having no means at his 

 command, studied music, in order to qualify 

 himself for giving lessons. But the outbreak 

 of the Eastern war led him back to his true 

 vocation. He again offered his services to the 

 Turks, and was placed in command of a division 

 during the blockade of Kars, under the name 

 of Madjar Isma.il Pacha, inflicting on the Rus- 

 sians one of the most sanguine defeats they sus- 

 tained during the whole war. For his gallant 

 services in this campaign he was named lieu- 

 tenant-general, and decorated. The massacres 

 of Syria next called him into the field. He was 

 placed in command of a division, and arrived 

 just in time to put a stop to further disorders. 

 Soon after, he retired to England, with a liberal 

 pension. 



April 27. PHILLIMORE, Jonx GEORGE, an 

 English legal and historical writer of great 

 ability, died at his residence at Shiplake House, 

 Oxfordshire, aged 55 years. He was educated 

 at Westminster and Christ Church, Oxford, 

 and called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1832. 

 In 1851 he was made Queen's counsel, and 

 from 1852 to 1857 represented Leominster 

 in Parliament. He was the author of sev- 

 eral legal and political works, among which 

 may be named "Legal Reform," "A History 

 of the Law of Evidence," " An Introduction to 

 the Study and History of Roman Law," "Lec- 

 tures on Jurisprudence and Canon Law," 

 " Principles and Maxims of Jurisprudence," 

 and "Private Law among the Romans." In 

 1863 he produced the first volume of "The 

 History of England during the Reign of George 

 III.," which is unfortunately left incomplete by 

 his death. 



April 28. CTTSARD, SIR SAMUEL, Bart., died 

 in Prince's Gardens, aged 77 years. He was for 

 many years the head of the firm of Cunard & 

 Co., to whose enterprise and ability the present 

 rapid steam communication between England 

 and this country is mainly owing. In recogni- 

 tion of these services he was made a baronet in 

 1859. 



April 28. WILLIAMS, WILLIAM, M. P., a lead- 

 ing liberal politician and writer, died at his resi- 

 dence, Park Square, Regent's Park, aged 76 

 years. He was descended from a good yeoman's 

 family, and his education was necessarily ob- 

 tained under great difficulties. These diffi- 

 culties were so much felt by him in after-life, 

 that he took a special interest in drawing the 

 attention of the legislature to the cause of edu- 

 cation among the middle classes. In 1846 he 

 brought this subject before the House of Com- 

 mons, upon which a commission of inquiry 

 was issued, and in 1848 he made further 

 cftorts by publishing a letter to Lord John Rus- 

 sell, First Lord of the Treasury, on the report 

 of the " commissioners who had been appointed 

 to inquire into the state of education in Wales," 



followed in December by a letter on its then 

 defective state. Having commenced business 

 as a clerk in a warehouse in London, he rose by 

 his own eiforts to a high position, and subse- 

 quently set tip an establishment upon his own 

 account, where he made in time a comfortable 

 fortune. About the year 1820 he became in- 

 terested in politics, and not long after was a 

 member of the common council for his ward. 

 In 1835 he was returned to that assembly for 

 the city of Coventry. In 1847 he retired from 

 business and spent some time travelling through 

 the United States. In July, 1850, a vacancy 

 occurred for the borough of Lambeth, and Mr. 

 Williams was returned ; he was also reflected 

 in 1852 and in 1857, representing that borough 

 until his death. 



April 30. OLLENDORFF, H, G., Ph. D., gram- 

 marian and linguist, died in Paris, aged 60 years. 

 He was a German Jew, of unprepossessing ap- 

 pearance. His method of teaching French and 

 German was both popular and successful. His 

 books had an immense sale both in Europe and 

 this country, and, as he was his own publisher, 

 his income was very large. 



April . STULLER, M., a celebrated archi- 

 tect in Prussia, died at Berlin, aged 64 years. 

 He was a native of Berlin, and a pupil of Skin- 

 kel, with whom he remained until he had at- 

 tained his 30th year. Having obtained the 

 patronage of the King of Prussia, he undertook 

 and executed, between the years 1840 and 1850, 

 an immense number of important constructions. 

 Besides a vast number of private residences, he 

 built the Council Chamber of Perleberg, the 

 new Winter Palace of St. Petersburg, the Bourse 

 of Berlin, and that of Frankfort, and the new 

 Berlin Museum, which ranks first among his 

 works. He built several churches, added new 

 apartments to the palace at Potsdam, finished 

 the gardens of Sans Souci, erected the palace 

 of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin 

 in Berlin, and yet found time to make an im- 

 mense number of designs for goldsmiths' work 

 and porcelain. In 1835, in conjunction with 

 M, Stack, he published a volume entitled "De- 

 signs for Cabinet Work." 



April . PIOCOLAS, NICHOLAS, a Greek 

 litterateur, died at Paris, aged 72 years. He. 

 was a native of Thessaly, and commenced his 

 studies at Bucharest, whence he, early in life, 

 removed to the University of Paris. Here, in 

 1823, he became acquainted with the late Earl 

 of Guilford, under whose auspices he occupied 

 the chair of philosophy at Corfu. Afterwards 

 he studied medicine at Bologna, where he took 

 his doctor's degree, and removed to Paris, in 

 which city he continued to reside until his 

 death. He translated Descartes' Meihode pour 

 Men conduire la liaison, also Paul et Virginie, 

 and other works of St. Pierre. He added a 

 supplement to the Anthologia Graca, and very 

 recently, published UHistoire des Animaux 

 & Aristotle, a work which was the labor of a 

 life. To these must be added a critical' edition 

 of Longus, and several other classical works.
