OBITUARIES, FOREIGN. 



admirable works from his hand, one "The 

 Elder Brother," representing a boy in a very 

 humble cottage, rocking a cradle, containing a 

 chubby, rosy-cheeked baby ; and the other an 

 interior, with a laborer's wife engaged in sew- 

 ing, while a child stands by her, and a baby is 

 lying in a cradle. Many of this artist's pro- 

 ductions have become widely known through 

 the lithographer's art. M. Edouard Frere ob- 

 tained two third-class medals in 1850 and 1855 ; 

 one of the second class in 1852 ; and the decora- 

 tion after the Universal Exhibition of 1855. No 

 artist has done more than he to illustrate the 

 joys and the hardships of the poor. 



Fnrgnsson, James, an English architect and 

 historian, born in England in 1808 ; died Jan. 

 9, 1886. He was educated at Hounslow, went 

 to India, and began a mercantile life, and then 

 undertook a series of researches among the 

 ruins in India. In 1849 he published his "In- 

 quiry into the True Principles of Beauty in 

 Art, more especially with reference to Archi- 

 tecture," in which he expounded his theory of 

 the mode of lighting the Greek temples. He 

 became advising officer in architectural matters 

 to her Majesty's First Commissioner of Works 

 and Public Buildings. A picture-gallery that 

 he built in Kew Gardens was lighted on the 

 principle which he maintained was used by the 

 Greeks in their best temples, and it is the best- 

 lighted picture-gallery in England. 



Goddard, Homeric, an English painter, born in 

 Salisbury, Dec. 25, 1832 ; died in West Ken- 

 sington, in March, 1886. He studied at Ivy 

 Church School. Going to London in 1849, he 

 spent two years in making studies from animal 

 life in the Zoological Gardens, when he re- 

 turned to Wiltshire and executed many im- 

 portant commissions for country gentlemen. 

 Returning to London in 1857, he became a 

 constant exhibitor at the Royal Academy. 

 Among his most valuable works are: "The 

 Casuals" (1868); "Pony Fair, New Forest" 

 (1872) ; " Lord Welverton's Bloodhounds " 

 (1875) ; " The Struggle for Existence " (1879) ; 

 "Rescued" (1881); "Love and War" (1883). 



Goodwin, George, an English architect, born at 

 Brompton, Middlesex, Jan. 28, 1815; died in 

 London, Oct. 14, 1886. He was the son of an 

 architect, and built the churches of St. Mary's, 

 West Brompton, St. Luke and St. Jude, South 

 Kensington, and was the restorer of the church 

 of St. Mary Radcliff, Bristol. He was the au- 

 thor of " The Churches of London " (London, 

 1838); "History in Ruins" (1853); "London 

 Shadows " (1854) ; " Memorials of Workers," 

 and other works. 



Goold, James Alipins, Roman Catholic Arch- 

 bishop of Melbourne, born in Cork, Ireland, 

 in 1812 ; died in July, 1886. He studied for 

 the priesthood and went to New South Wales, 

 where he was consecrated Bishop of Melbourne 

 in 1848. The discovery of gold in Victoria, 

 and the rapid introduction of a numerous popu- 

 lation, caused the district to develop rapidly. 

 Bishop Goold was zealous and persevering, and 



churches, convents, and educational establish- 

 ments sprang up in all parts of his diocese. 

 He was subsequently engaged in a sharp con- 

 troversy with a portion of the Victoria people, 

 on the subject of public education. The Par- 

 liament of Victoria having declared that the 

 support of the public treasury should be only 

 given to unsectarian schools, Bishop Goold 

 denounced the decision as tyrannical and im- 

 pious, and the strife continued for several 

 years. In 1876 the Pope constituted him the 

 first Archbishop of the Province of Melbourne. 



Gordon, David, a German journalist, born in 

 1836; died in Lyck, Eastern Prussia, in 1886. 

 He was the editor of "Hamagid," a journal 

 that circulated principally among the Russian 

 Jews. His letters, under the head of " A Nar- 

 rative from the Borders," published in the 

 " Jewish Chronicle " in 1881, supplied the 

 most trustworthy account of the Russian per- 

 secutions of that year. Herr Gordon had been 

 editor of the "Lycker Zeitung," and was fre- 

 quently employed by the Prussian Government 

 as a translator of public documents. 



Gongeard, M., a French journalist, born in 

 1826; died March 8, 1886. He entered the 

 navy in 1844, and served in the Crimean and 

 Chinese wars. He became a writer for the 

 " Republique Francaise," and was Minister of 

 Marine in Gambetta's short-lived Cabinet. 



Gnden, Dr. von, German physician, born in 

 Bavaria ; drowned in Starnberg Lake, in the at- 

 tempt to save the life of King Lud wig, June 13, 

 1886. Dr. von Guden was an original investi- 

 gator in the department of cerebral physiology 

 and pathology, but had not made public many 

 of his discoveries and observations. He had en- 

 riched science with one discovery of importance, 

 that of the seat in the brain of the nuclei of the 

 nerves of sight, hearing, smell, touch, and the 

 facial muscles. These he found by removing 

 from young animals the nerves to be investi- 

 gated, and observing, after they had grown up, 

 what portions of the brain remained unde- 

 veloped. This discovery is of value in surgical 

 practice, enabling the surgeon in cranial opera- 

 tions to rescue organs of sense, such as the 

 eye, which would be lost through unenlight- 

 ened treatment. 



Gnibert, Joseph Hippolyte, Cardinal Archbishop 

 of Paris, born in Aix, in the department of 

 Bouches-du-Rh6ne, Dec. 13, 1802 ; died in 

 Paris on July 8, 1886. After brilliant theo- 

 logical studies in the congregation of the Im- 

 maculate Conception at Marseilles, and in Rome 

 he was made vicar-general and superior of the 

 seminary at Ajaccio. On July 30, 1842, he 

 was nominated by the King of France Bishop 

 of Viviers, and on Feb. 4, 1857, was made 

 Archbishop of Tours. On July 19, 1871, by 

 the appointment of President Thiers, he suc- 

 ceeded Darboy in the archiepiscopal see of 

 Paris. He was made a cardinal on Dec. 22, 

 1873. By a decree of May 7, 1875, Monseign- 

 eur Richard, previously Bishop of Belley, was 

 appointed his coadjutor, with the right of sue-
