Pattison, MARK (1813-84). 

 British scholar. Born Oct. 10, 

 1813, at Hornby, Yorkshire, the son 

 of a clergyman, 

 he was educated 

 by his father 

 and at Oriel 

 College, Oxford. 

 Brought up a 

 strict Evangeli- 

 cal, he fell under 

 the influence of 

 Newman, but 

 su bsequently 

 his theological 

 views took a distinctly broad direc- 

 tion. In 1839 he was elected a fellow 

 of Lincoln College, where as tutor 

 and lecturer he exercised great in- 

 fluence and won a high reputation. 

 He was ordained in 1841. In 1855 he 

 resigned his tutorship, and the next 

 few years were passed partly in Ger- 

 many. In 1861 he returned to Oxford 

 as rector of Lincoln, and there re- 

 mained until his death at Harro- 

 gate, July 30, 1884. His widow, 

 Emilia Francis Strong, became the 

 wife of Sir C. W. Dilke (q.v.). 



Pattison wrote much for reviews 

 and the like, but his special field of 

 study was the history of classical 

 learning from the time of the 

 Renaissance. He wrote a Life of 

 Casaubon, but never completed 

 that of Scaliger. He also wrote a Life 

 of Milton, 1879. He contributed to 

 Essays and Reviews (q.v.). His- 

 Memoirs, published posthumously 

 in 1885, are almost painful in their 

 frankness ; in them he is sometimes 

 hard and bitter towards others, and 

 always hard on himself. A scholar 

 in the real sense, he was one of the 

 most notable personages in the 

 Oxford of his day. He is said to 

 have been the original of Isaac 



bank of the Gave du Pau, 66 m. 

 from Bayonne. The chief building 

 is the castle, built in the 14th 

 century by Gaston Phoebus, count 

 of Foix ; later it was enlarged, and 

 it was restored by Louis Philippe, 

 although part is still a ruin. It has 

 a noted collection of tapestries. 

 Other buildings include the hotel 

 de ville, an old Jesuit college, and a 

 museum. In the Place Royale is a 

 statue of Henry IV. Standing at a 

 height of 670 ft., with a delightful 

 climate, Pau is a favourite winter 

 resort. It was the residence of the 

 counts of Foix, while from 1512-89 

 it was the capital of the little state 

 of Beam. Henry IV and Berna- 

 dotte were born here. Pop. 37,000.

 (b. 1848). French soldier. He was

 try, he served

 Prussian War,
