 Latin, " On the Academical Study of Latin," 

 was issued in 1855, and " The Choephorsa of

 volume of " The Works of Virgil, with an Eng- 

 lish Commentary," and in 1863 also "The Odes 

 and Carmen Saeculare of Horace, translated 

 into English verse." In 1866 appeared from 

 his pen "The uEneid of Virgil, translated into 

 English Verse." He had also prepared critical 

 texts of some of the classics, and critical essays 

 on others. His numerous articles on classical 

 subjects in the Reviews were evidence of the 

 earnestness of his zeal in classical pursuits.

 VENOE, second Marquis of, an English nobleman 

 said to have possessed the largest amount of 

 property of any British peer of ancient or 

 modern times ; died in London, aged 74 years. 

 Known in early life* as Viscount Belgrave, he 

 was educated at Christ Church College, Ox- 

 ford, and entered Parliament in 1818, as mem- 

 ber for the county of Chester, and was affil- 

 iated with the Whig or Liberal party. He

 of Lords. He was Lord-Steward of the House- 

 hold of the Queen under the Russell ministry

Oct. . BETJCE, JOHJT, F. S. A., an English 

 journalist, antiquarian, and author; died in 

 London, aged 67 years. He was born in that 

 city in 1802, of a family of Scottish extrac- 

 tion; was educated at the Grammar School 

 of Aberdeen, and at private schools in Eng- 

 land ; studied law, but relinquished the practice 

 of his profession in 1840, and gave his atten- 

 tion to literary pursuits. He edited with much 

 credit several valuable works for the " Cam- 

 den" and other societies; contributed to the 

 ArcTiceologia of the Society of Antiquaries, 

 to the Edinburgh Review, and to various other 

 periodical publications, including The Gentle- 

 man's Magazine, of which he was for some time 

 editor, and edited a Calendar of the State Pa- 

 pers of the reign of Charles I. He was Treas- 

 urer and Vice-President of the Society of An- 

 tiquaries, Treasurer and Director of the Cam-

Oct. . CEEISE or CEEISI, LATJBENT ALEX- 

 ANDEE PHILIBEBT, M. D., an Italian physician, 

 psychologist, and author, long resident in 

 France ; died in Paris, aged 60 years. He was 

 born in Aosta, Piedmont, in 1809, and educated 

 at the University of Turin, where he graduated 

 M.D. in 1828. Not finding sufficient liberty 

 of philosophic speculation in his own country, 

 he migrated to France, and was licensed as a 



physician in 1834. Being a friend and disciple 

 of the philosopher Buchez, he was for some 

 time one of the editors of the Europeen, and 

 was one of the founders of the Annales Me- 

 dico-psychologiques, and of the Union Medicale. 

 He was made a chevalier of the Legion of 

 Honor in 1845, and of the order of Civil Merit 

 of Savoy in 1849. He had a remarkable tact 

 in the diagnosis of insanity, and his decisions 

 in regard to the most doubtful cases were re- 

 garded as almost infallible by the profession. 

 Some of his psychological treatises are among 

 the ablest contributions to this difficult science 

 ever published. Among his works are : " A 

 Critical Examination and Study of the System 

 of Phrenology," 1836; "The Physician of the 

 Infant Schools, or Manual of Health and Physi- 

 cal Education," 1836; "The Functions and 

 Diseases of the Nervous System in their Rela- 

 tions to Education," 1842; a work crowned by 

 the Academy of Medicine. He had also edited 

 with great care and numerous notes, Roussel's 

 "Moral and Physical System of Woman;" 

 " Cabanis's Connections of Physics and Mor- 

 als; " and "Bichat's Researches upon Life and 

 upon Death."

Dec. 31. DE SANCTIS, LTJIGI, D. D., an emi- 

 nent Italian Protestant divine, professor, and 

 author ; died in Florence, aged 61 years. He 

 was born in the States of the Church, educated 

 for the priesthood in the Roman Catholic 

 Church, and became Dean of the Church of 

 the Minerva in Rome. He was, while yet a 

 young man, appointed Bishop's examiner, and 

 was in a fair way of attaining the highest dig- 

 nities of the Church. At this time he imbibed 

 liberalistic views; and, having obtained per- 

 mission to go to Venice, crossed from thence 

 to Corfu, where he avowed himself a Protes- 

 tant, and received the protection of the Eng- 

 lish consul. He next went to Geneva, where 

 he was ordained, and, finding the views of the 

 Free Italian Church too loose and ill-defined, 

 joined the Waldensians, and became a Profess- 

 or of Theology in their College at Turin. In 

 Italy, in 1859, he entered upon a larger work 

 with great energy, preaching, teaching, writ- 

 ing, and editing the Eco della Verita, and his 

 famous almanac Amico de Casa, which had an 

 immense sale. He published twenty-three 

 books, all of them of great merit, and most of 

 them devoted to the work of denouncing his 

 early views of the Romish faith. His' Eoma 

 Papale has been translated into French and 

 English, and sold largely both in England and 

 America. His death was very sudden.
