Sled Christians from the deck of a steamer on the 

 mube. His Easter sermons in 1885 brought Dr. 

 Liddon more clearly into view as the leading repre- 

 sentative of the High Anglican party in the English 

 Church. Besides the series of sermons mentioned 

 above, which have passed through many editions, 

 Canon Liddon published : " Walter Kerr Hamilton, 

 Bishop of Salisbury " (1869); " Sermons preached be- 

 fore the University of Oxford," the fifth edition of 

 which was issued in 1873 ; an edition of Bishop An- 

 drews's " Manual for the Sick"; "English Church 

 Defense Tracts," in conjunction with Dr. William 

 Bright (1872) ; a discourse on Bishop Wilberforce 

 (1875); sermons on "Present Church Troubles" 

 (1880); sermons entitled "Advent in St. Paul's" 

 (1888) ; and a preface to a translation of Thomas k 

 Kempis (1889). For several years before his death 

 he was at work on a biography of Dr. Pusey. 



Lloyd, Edward, an English journalist, born at 

 Thornton Heath, near Croydon. Feb. 16, 1815 ; died 

 in London, April 8, 1890. He learned stenography and 

 published a manual on the subject when he was six^ 

 teen years old. Soon he established " Lloyd's Weekly 

 Miscellany " and "Lloyd's Weekly Atlas," depend- 

 ing for their sale mainly on fiction, which were 

 S'ofitable and were the precursors of the " Family 

 erald" and other popular periodicals still in exist- 

 ence. He had success with a cheap monthly news- 

 paper until it was stopped by the authorities under 

 the stamp law. In 1842 he issued a penny illustrated 

 newspaper in -which literary notices, theatrical re- 

 ports, and social gossip were made the conspicuous 

 features, and the news items were compressed within 

 limits that were supposed to escape infringing the 

 law. A month or two later, on Nov. 27, 1842, ap- 

 peared "Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper," duly stamped 

 and sold for 2d. Douglas Jerrold became editor 

 when the paper had been established nearly ten 

 years. The price was reduced to Id. as a demon- 

 stration against the stamp duty before the duty was 

 removed. The paper has always been one of the 

 favorite organs of tnc British democracy and the most 

 extensively circulated of any. About 1875 Lloyd 

 purchased the " Clerkenwell News," which he con- 

 verted into one of the important London dailies, 

 the " Chronicle." He established a large business as 

 a paper maker.

 the bar, and became' a very successful advocate. 

 Guizot appointed him inspector of prisons in the 

 Department of the Seine and subsequently of all the 

 prisons of France, in which he introduced important 

 reforms. The juvenile reformatory and farm that he 

 had established in 1833, with private means, in the 

 Val-d'Yevre, near Bourges, was so successful that 

 eventually it was made a state institution. He also 

 founded in Paris a society for the reclamation of 

 juvenile offenders. He was admitted in 1836 to the 

 Institute ot France, of which he was the oldest mem- 

 ber at the time of his decease. He wrote many 

 pamphlets and books on the subject of prison reform 

 and in favor of the abolition of capital punishment, 

 and continued his activity to the end of his days, 

 although for years he was entirely blind. His most 

 important work was a treatise in three volumes on 

 prison systems in Europe and the United States.

 in 1826 ; died in Munich, Sept. 3, 1890. He was the

 assistant judge at Nuremberg in 1854. In 1857 he 

 acted as secretary to the conference held in Nurem- 

 berg for framing a code of commercial laws for the 

 German states, "and afterward he assisted in the 

 preparation of a maritime code at Hamburg. When 

 this was completed he was given a post in the Ba- 

 varian Ministry of Justice, and in 1863 was ap- 

 pointed secretary .to the King's Cabinet. King Lud- 

 wig in 1866 made him chiet of his private cabinet. 

 In 1867 he was appointed Minister of Justice and 



carried through a new code of civil procedure in finite 

 of serious difficulties. He held other portfolios in 

 succession, and finally became Prime Minister, with 

 the portfolio of Worship and Education. During the 

 long struggle for secular education he held last to 

 the policy adopted in Prussia, although the Clericals 

 sometimes had a majority in the Chamber. Only a 

 few weeks before his death he retired on the ostensi- 

 ble ground of failing health, and was replaced by a 

 minister in sympathy with the Clerical reaction.

 Ventnor, Isle of Wight, about 1850; died in East Afri- 

 ca in March, 1890. He was a son of the Rev. Dr. Mac-

 Africa with the first party "of missionaries sent out by 

 the English Church Missionary Society. Going to

 and carried on a propaganda that resulted in the con- 

 version of hundreds to Christianity. Reducing the 

 language of the natives to writing, ne translated parts 

 of the Bible and prayers, and printed thousands of 

 copies for the instruction of the people. When 

 Mwanga succeeded as king, Mr. Mackay was co less 

 in favor than under his predecessor. He built houses 

 and boats, and performed all kinds of commissions 

 for the native ruler. He sent, in October, 1886, the 

 first news that Emin Pasha was still alive, and also 

 the recovered manuscript of Bishop Hannington's 

 diary. When King Mwanga was overthrown by the 

 revolution of October, 1888, and in consequence of 

 the Mohammedan reaction all Christian missionaries 

 were expelled from Uganda, Mackay established a

 hospitable reception to Henry M. Stanley and his

 sign the commercial treaty and arrange a tariff. In 

 1865 he went to Vienna and negotiated the details 

 of a commercial convention with Austria. He was
