Feb. 24. KURTZ or KURZ, HEINRICH, Ph. D., 

 a German professor and man of letters; died 

 in Aaran, Switzerland, at the age of 68 years. 

 He was born in Paris, but of German parents, 

 April 28, 1805, lost his father in his childhood, 

 was educated at Leipsic, but just as he was 

 about to receive his degree in 1826, he was so 

 much involved in the movements of the Bnrs- 

 chenschaft or political societies of the students 

 that he was compelled to leave the university. 

 He returned to Paris in 1827, and for three 

 years devoted himself to Oriental studies. In 

 the autumn of 1830 he returned to Germany and 

 became one of the editors of the Augsburg Zeit, 

 an organ of the constitutional opposition, and 

 after a few months his vigorous editorials led 

 to his arrest and condemnation to two years' 

 imprisonment in the fortress of Wiilzbnrg. 

 He occupied his time there in translating a 

 Chinese poem into German. On his release 

 he passed into Switzerland, where in 1834, he 

 was appointed Professor of the German Lan- 

 piiacto and literature in the Cantonal School 

 <>t' St. Gall. Five years after he was re- 

 moved because he was a Protestant and a for- 

 eigner; but was immediately appointed to a 

 similar professorship in the Cantonal School of 

 Aaran, which lie retained till his death. Prof. 

 Kurtz's principal works are : " A History of 

 German Literature," 3 vols., 1851-1864; a 



fourth volume was devoted to contemporary 

 German Literature. The work was one of 

 great merit. An abridgment of it by the au- 

 thor, in 1806, has been very popular. " Stud- 

 ies in Literary History," 1846 ; " Handbook 

 of National Poetry," 3 vols., 1840-'44 ; " Hand- 

 book of German Prose," 3 vols., 1845-'46; 

 " The German Poets and Prose Writers from 

 the middle of the Fifteenth Century to our 

 Own Times," 8 vols., 1864. He also edited a 

 " Library of German Writers of the Eighteenth 

 Century," published from 1862-186U. The 

 fruits of Prof. Kurtz's Oriental studies were 

 seen in his " Memoir upon the Political and 

 Religious Condition of China Twenty-three 

 Hundred Years before our Era," published in 

 Paris in 1830; his recasting of the "Chinese 

 Dictionary of Basil for the Asiatic Society of 

 France ; " and his translation of a Chinese 

 poem, "The Petal," published at St. Gll in 

 1866.

 considerable portion of which he spent in

 remains. 



Feb. . DONOVAN, CORNELLCS, M. D., an 

 eminent Irish physician and phrenologist;

 the city of Cork, where he was educated. 

 He settled in London in 1825, and was at- 

 tracted by the lectures of Dr. Spurzheim, 

 but did not devote himself to the practical 

 labors of a phrenologist until 1840, after 

 very careful and extended study. Since that 

 time, with the exception of two years passed 

 in study and travel in Canada and the United 

 States, he had been a practical phrenologist 

 for thirty years in London. Like most phre- 

 nologists of repute, he adopted, with a few ex- 

 ceptions, the names and localization of the or-

 amplified by Dr. Spurzheim and Mr. George 

 Combe.
