Ctedmon (d. 680). 

 Ampul/ (8th century). 



Pogge (Agonns cataphrctctus), a small fish, not 

 uncommon on British coasts, also known as Armed 

 Bullhead, Lyrie, Pluck, anil Noble. It is related 

 to the Bullhead (q. v. ). The body, about 6 inches 

 long, is cuirassed by large scales ; the head is 

 very broad, and the mouth is very small. Not- 

 withstanding its uncouth appearance, it is good to 

 eat. 



Poggendorf, JOHANN CHRISTIAN, a German 



fbysicvt, was born at Hamburg, 29th December 

 796. He studied pharmacy, chemistry, and physics, 

 and was professor of Physics at Berlin from 1834 

 till hi" death. In 1839 he was made a member of 

 the Berlin Academy of Sciences. His chief dis- 

 coveries were in connection with electricity and 



galvanism ; he also invented a multiplying gal- 

 vanometer for measuring the calorific action of 

 currents. From 1824 he edited the Annalen der 

 Physik und Chimie, better known as Poggendorfs 

 Annalen, an important organ for the history 

 of the physical sciences. Besides helping Liebig 

 and Wohler to prepare the Dictionnaire de Chimie 

 ( 1837-51 ), he wrote Lebenslinien zu einer Geschichte 

 der exalden Wissenschaften (1853), Biographisch- 

 litterarisches Worterbuch zur Geschichte der exakten 

 Wissenschaften (2 vols. 1857-63), and Geschichte 

 der Physik ( 1879). He died 24th January 1877. 



Poggio Bracciolini, GIAN FRANCESCO, a 

 famous Italian humanist, was born in 1380 at 

 Terranova in Florence. He studied Latin under 

 John of Ravenna, and Greek under Manuel Chry- 

 soloras, and early gained the notice of the Floren- 

 tine scholars for his skill in copying MSS. About 

 1402 he became a secretary to the Roman curia ; 

 but, though the fifty years of his service covered a 

 period of remarkable importance, he seems to have 

 taken no interest whatever in the movement of 

 church affaire, but to have been devoted heart and 

 soul to the resuscitation of classical learning. In 

 the course of his duties at the Council of Constance 

 (1414-18) he explored the Swiss and Swabian con- 

 vents for MSS., and later in his wider travels to 

 England and elsewhere he never lost sight of the 

 dearest interest of his life. He was able to recover 

 MSS. of Quintilian, Amniianus Marcellinus, Lu- 

 cretius, Silius Italicus, Vitmvius, and many other 

 Roman authors. About 1452 lie retired to Florence, 

 and next year succeeded Carlo Aretino as historio- 

 grapher to the republic. Here he died in 1459. 

 His writings include Letters (best ed. by Tonelli, 

 3 vols. Flor. 1832-61 ) ; moral essays On Nobility, 

 On the Infelicity of Princes, On Marriage in Old 

 Age (he himself in 1435 took to wife a girl of 

 eighteen ), and the like ; a rhetorical Latin History 

 of Florence, in imitation of Livy ; a series of unclean 

 and unscrupulous polemical invectives against con- 

 temporaries, especially Filelfo and Valla ; and a 

 poor translation into Latin of Xenophon's Cyro- 

 media. But his most famous book is the Liber 

 Facetiannn, a collection of humorous and not too 

 decent stories and jests, written in fair Latin, and 

 full of merry raillery at the expense of the monks 

 and secular clergy. The book has some importance 

 in the study of the diffusion and development of 

 folk-tales, and here Poggio takes a place with 

 Straparola, Morlini, Boccaccio, Sacchetti, and 

 Bandello, between the later conteurs who have bor- 

 rowed or worked up their stories on the one hand, 

 and such earlier storehouses as the Exempla, the 

 Disciplina Clericalis, the A vrea Legenda, trie Gestct 

 Romanorum, and the Fabliaux on the other. A 

 good edition (Fr. trans, and text) is that of Isidore 

 Lisieux ( Paris, 1878 ).

Polluting (same root as Eng. pound}, in the 

 law of Scotland, means the seizing and selling of 

 a debtor's goods under process of law, or under the 

 warrant of a heritable security, in order to pay the 

 debt. It is either real or personal. Real poimling 

 is the attaching of goods or movables on the land 

 over which some heritable security exists. It is 

 one mode in which heritable security is made 

 effectual. Thus, the superior of lands can poind 

 the ground to obtain payment of his feu-duties ; and 

 the nolder of a heritable bond can do the same in 

 order to recover his debt. Personal poinding is 

 the mode in which a decree of the court is made 

 effectual by the messenger or bailiff seizing the 

 movables of the debtor. It may not proceed until 

 the debtor has been charged to pay the debt and 

 the days of charge have elapsed. The debtor's
