PATTE, ADEJJNA, singer, was born at Madrid, 

 Feb. 19, 1843. Her father and mother were Italian 

 musicians, and she was taught in childhood by her 

 brother, Signor Barilli. At the age of seven she 

 made her first appearance at a concert and soon earned 

 enough to secure thorough musical training. In No- 

 vember, 1859, she appeared in New York as Lucia and 

 achieved the highest success as a singer and actress. 



In 1861 she went to London, in 1862 to Paris, and 

 thereafter appeared in all the European capitals. In 

 England and the United States she has frequently ap- 

 peared in concert, as well as in opera. She was 

 married to Marquis de Caux, a French nobleman, in 

 1868, but was divorced in 1883, and in 1886 was 

 married to Ernesto Nicolini, an operatic singer. 



Her sister CARLOTTA was born at Florence in 1840, and 

 was early trained for the stage. A slight lameness 

 interfered with her success in opera, but she became 

 noted as a concert-singer. She had first appeared at 

 New York in 1861, and afterwards went to Europe, 

 where she gave hundreds of conceits. Her voice is a 

 soprano of remarkable range. She was married in 1879 

 to Ernst de Munck. 



PATTISON, MARK (1813-1884), English author 

 and educator, was born at Hornby, Yorkshire, in 1813. 

 His boyhood was spent at Hauxwell, near Richmond, 

 where his father was rector. He was educated at 

 Oriel College, Oxford, graduated in 1836 -and was 

 made a fellow of Lincoln College in 1839. Though 

 Newman's connection with Oriel College had ceased 

 before Pattison entered, the whole of Oxford was still 

 permeated by his influence, and Pattison was reckoned 

 among his closest followers. He was ordained priest 

 in 1843 and took some theological prizes, but after 

 Newman's withdrawal from the Anglican Church, 

 Pattison devoted himself steadily to his college duties 

 as examiner and tutor. In 1851 he failed to get the 

 rectorship of Lincoln College, which seemed then his 

 due, and his subsequent life showed the effect of the 

 disappointment. His essay on "The Tendencies of 

 Religious Thought in England," one of the famous 

 Essays and Revises (I860), proved that Newman had 

 had little permanent influence on his mind. Pattison 

 made a Report on Elementary Education in Gerrntiny 

 in 1859 and at last obtained the rectorship of Lincoln 

 College in 1861. But his former activity in education 

 was gone. Thoroughly a scholar, devoted to research, 

 he wished the endowments of the universities to be 

 used for the promotion of original literary and scientific 

 research. His Suggestions on Academical Organiza- 

 tion (1867) may have led to the movement which has 

 been partially successful in that direction. His literary 

 work, besides contributions to the Quarterly and other 

 periodicals, is to be found in editions of some works of 

 Milton and Pope, and especially in his Life of Cas- 

 aubon ,(1875). He had originally intended to write a 

 biography of Scaliger, but was diverted from his pur- 

 pose by learning that Prof. Jacob Bernays had under- 

 taken that subject. In the last months of his life he 

 dictated some Reminiscences (1885) in which he 

 pathetically protests against the caricature of himself 

 given in George Eliot's Middlemarch and also against 

 the romantic version of his sister's life given in Miss 

 Lonsdale's Sister Dora. He died June 30, 1884. His 

 widow became the wifb of Sir Charles W. Dilke. 



PATTON, FRANCIS LANDEY, theologian, was born 

 in Bermuda, Jan. 22, 1843. He was educated at Uni- 

 versity and Knox dolle^e, Toronto, and studied the- 

 ology at Princeton. He was ordained to the Presby- 

 terian ministry in 1865, and had charge of churches m 

 New York, Nyack, and Brooklyn. In 1871 he was 

 made professor of didactic theology in the Presbyte- 

 rian Seminary at Chicago, and he was also editor of_ the 

 Interior, 1873-76. He prosecuted Rev. David Swing, 

 a popular preacher, before the Presbytery of Chicago 

 for heresy, and procured his conviction and suspension. 

 He was moderator of the General Assembly at Pitts- 

 burg in 1 878. He became pastor t' HM Jefferson 

 Park Church in 1879. In 1881 he was called to 

 Princeton Theological Seminary as professor of science 

 and philosophy in their relation to religion. In 188 

 he was chosen to succeed Dr James McCosh m the 

 presidency of Princeton College. He has been a fre- 

 quent contributor to religious periodicals aid has pub- 

 lished Treatise on Inspiration (1869); Summary of 

 Christian Doctrine; Doctrine of Future Retrioution.
