 for literary competition. He was afterwards 

 elected a fellow of Baliol College, Oxford, 

 and filled the place with dignity and fidelity. 

 While engaged in his duties here, he wrote the

 which excited much attention ; and, in 1849, 

 published a little volume of great merit, en- 

 titled " Ambarvalia." In 1848-'9 he visited

 with the intention of making this a permanent

 engaged in the arduous task of translating 

 anew " Plutarch's Lives." In 1853 he was re- 

 called to England by an appointment to the 

 educational branch of the privy council, which 

 important post he held until his death. To his 

 many duties he added those of private secretary 

 to Florence Nightingale, and there is little doubt 

 that in the multitude of his labors he overtasked 

 himself, and thus hastened his death.

 librarian of the University of Berlin from 1850 

 till his death. His works, which were very 

 numerous, were almost equally divided between 

 fiction, history, and biography, and political 

 topics. Few or none of them have been repnb- 

 lished in this country.

 an English medical writer and philanthropist,

 medicine, and several on theological topics, he 

 devoted much attention to the subject of sani- 

 tary science, and was employed by the Gov- 

 ernment on the " Health of Towns Commis- 

 sion." His writings on this subject have had 

 the effect to modify beneficially the systems 

 of drainage, sewerage, and ventilation, and an 

 eminent authority declared, before his death, 

 that Dr. Smith's labors had been the means of 

 saving more than a million of lives. He died at 

 Florence.
