GOULD, AUGUSTUS ADDISOX, M. D., an 

 American naturalist and physician, born in New 

 Ipswich. N. II., April 23, 1805; died at Boston, 

 : a her 15, 1866. His father's family name 

 was formerly Duren, hut was changed to that 

 i:ld. He graduated at Harvard College in 

 . took his medical degree in 1830, and im- 

 :'.ely thereafter settled in Boston, where 

 he remained until his death. From the outset 

 of his career he devoted considerable atten- 

 tion to natural history and kindred studies, and 

 for two years gave instructions in botany and 

 zoology at Harvard. Although constantly en- 

 ! in the active duties of his profession, 

 science was the leading passion of his life, and 

 by zealously devoting his leisure moments in 

 ttervals of business, and, as he expressed 

 it, "hours stolen from sleep," to his favorite 

 studies, he has made his name widely known as 

 a scientific student and author by many valu- 

 able contributions. Ho became very early one 

 of the most active members of the Boston So- 

 ciety of Natural History, of which he had been 

 vici -president for several years previous to his 

 death. He was also a Fellow of the American 

 Academy of Arts and Sciences ; of the Ameri- 

 can Philosophical Society; of the National 

 Academy of Science ; and two years ago was 

 unanimously elected President of the Massa- 

 chusetts* Medical Society. Many of his con- 

 tributions to science have been published in the 

 Proceedings and Memoirs of these societies. 

 Many of his conchological papers, especially, 

 have appeared in the Journal and Proceedings 

 <>t' the Boston Society of Natural History. ]n 

 1841 he published his report on the Inverte- 

 s of Massachusetts, an appropriation for 

 that purpose having been made by the State. 

 This, being one of the pioneer works on the 

 subject in this country, is remarkable for its 

 accuracy and general usefulness, and has al- 

 ways been one of the standard works on Ameri- 



can conchology, that part of the book relating 

 to the shells being the most voluminous and 

 complete, and each species being well figured 

 from drawings made mostly by the author's 

 hand. The Legislature of 1865 made an ap- 

 propriation of $4,000 to rcpublish this work, 

 and tor the last few months of his life he had 

 been engaged in revising and enlarging it for 

 that purpose. In 1848, in connection with 

 Prof. Agassiz, he published the "Principles 

 of Zoology," a work which has become well 

 known and widely circulated. In 3846 he was 

 employed by the United States Government to 

 write the Report npon the Shells of the Wilkes 

 Exploring Expedition, and contributed a qnarto 

 volume, with a folio atlas of plates, toward the 

 history of that voyage. In 1863 he published, 

 under the title of "Otia Conchologica," all the 

 original descriptions of new species of shells 

 published in his various works, with notes on 

 changes in their nomenclature. Beside the 

 above-mentioned volumes are several others 

 upon kindred subjects, while his contributions 

 to medical science are also numerous. In the 

 department of vital statistics he was eminent 

 among American students of that subject. He 

 contributed to nearly every volume of the Re- 

 ports of the Registrar-General of Massachusetts 

 papers of great labor and value. His articles 

 in the American Journal of Science were nu- 

 merous and important, and he was also the 

 author of interesting papers in the Christian 

 Review and other periodicals of the day. His 

 death was caused by a sudden attack of Asiatic 

 cholera, which terminated his valuable life after 

 a few hours' illness. 



GOZLAN, Ltox, a French dramatist and lit- 

 t6rateur, born at Marseilles, France, September 

 21, 1806 ; died at Paris, September 15, 1866. 

 He was of Hebrew extraction and the son of a 

 wealthy shipowner who became suddenly im- 

 poverished, in consequence of which young 

 Gozlan was compelled to leave college before 

 he had completed his studies. At eighteen ho 

 started for Algiers, and thence proceeded to 

 Senegal (1824) where he engaged with much 

 success in the coasting trade. Returned to 

 Marseilles with literary tastes which his travels 

 had aided in developing, ho obtained employ- 

 ment in the college, and while teaching re- 

 viewed his own studies. In 1828 he came to 

 Paris with a volume of light poetical wares, 

 and while waiting for a publisher became clerk 

 in a book-store. By the aid of M6ry, his com- 

 patriot, ho obtained a first appearance in the 

 newspaper V 'Incorruptible (1828), whence he 

 passed successively to Figaro, Vert -Vert, and 

 the Corsaire, by degrees essaying novels and 

 romances. From this time forward M. Gozlan 

 devoted himself to literature, and wrote with 

 wonderful facility. Wo can only indicate a 

 few of his tales and romances : " Les Memoires 

 d'un Apothecairo ; " "Le Notaire do Chan- 

 tilly ; " " Le Mddecin du Pocq; " "Les Chateaux 

 de France" (4 vols.) ; "Lo Dragon Rouge;" 

 "Le Tapis Vert;" "Un Homme plus grand
