 studies, and became distinguished as a classical 

 scholar and a writer in various fields of litera- 

 ture. His " Novellaja Fiorentina " and " No- 

 vellaja Milanese," the latter in the Lombard 

 dialect, containing traditional tales taken 

 from the lips of the people, are the first col- 

 lections that were made of Italian folk-lore.

 Shakespearean subjects. Among his works 

 are " The Shakespearean Fabrications " (1859) ; 

 " A Complete View of the Shakespeare Con- 

 troversy " (1861); "Shakespeare's Centurie 

 of Prayse" (1877). He also published " Out- 

 lines of Theoretical Logic " (1856), and " In- 

 troduction to Metaphysics" (1869). 



Isabey, Engene, a French artist, born in 1804; 

 died in Langres, April 26, 1886. He was a 

 painter of sea-pieces and landscapes. Two of

 1878. 



Jackson, Thomas, an English clergyman, born 

 in 1812; died in Stoke Newington, March 18, 

 1886. He was graduated at St. Mary's Hall, 

 Oxford, entered the ministry, and after hold- 

 ing a curacy at Brompton was appointed 

 to St. Peter's, Stepney, and in 1844 became 

 Principal of the National Society's Training 

 College at Battersea. In 1850 he visited New 

 Zealand as Bishop designate of Lyttleton. In 

 1852, Mr. Jackson was an active member of the 

 Committee of the Royal Society for Prevention 

 of Cruelty to Animals, and was one of the 

 deputation received at the Tuileries by Napo- 

 leon III with a view to awakening French 

 sympathy with the society's object. He is- 

 sued a pamphlet entitled u Uniomachia," pub- 

 lished at Oxford in 1833, the first of a long se- 

 ries of his literary works, among which are 

 " A Mourning Mother Comforted^" and u Cu- 

 riosities of the Pulpit." Mr. Jackson was for 

 some time editor of the "Journal of Education." 



Jamin, Jnles Celestin, a French physicist, born 

 in Termes, Ardennes, France, May 31, 1818; 

 died in Paris, Feb. 12, 1886. He was educated 

 in the College of Rheims, where at the end of 

 his first year he gained nine prizes, with the 

 prize of honor won in general competition be- 

 tween the colleges of Paris and those of the 

 departments, and was graduated in 1841 as 



first-prize-man in physical science. At once 

 he was called to the college in Caen, and two 

 years later, through the influence of Baron 

 Thenard, to the chair of Physics in the College 

 Bourbon, Paris. In 1844 he was elected to a 

 similar chair in the College Louis-le-Grand, 

 where he continued his researches begun in 

 Caen, and in 1847 received his doctorate of 

 physical science for a thesis, now a classic, on 

 the reflection of light from the surface of met- 

 als. From 1852 till 1881 he was Professor of 

 Physics at the Ecole Poly technique, and from 

 1863 till his death, professor at the Sarbonne, 

 where, on the death of H. Milne-Edwards, he 

 became Dean of the Scientific Faculty. His re- 

 searches embrace nearly all departments of 

 physics, and by their historical order and suc- 

 cession indicate the progress of that branch of 

 science from the middle of the century till the 

 present. As an electrician he will be remem- 

 bered through the magnet of peculiar con- 

 struction that bears his name, and his electric 

 candle, which burns point downward and is 

 self-igniting. Besides various investigations in 

 optics, magnetism, and electricity, he was the 

 first to complete a rational study of magneto- 

 electric currents. His researches in the com- 

 pressibility of liquids, on capillarity, hygrome- 

 try, specific heat, the critical point of gases, 

 and many others, demonstrate the originality 

 and fertility of his genius. He likewise was 

 a working botanist and geologist, and had a 

 great fondness for metaphysics, literature, mu- 

 sic, and the fine arts. Many of his paintings 

 have been preserved, including an admirable 

 portrait of Le Febre. He was a member of 

 various scientific societies, and on the death of 

 Dumas, in 1884, was chosen perpetual secre- 

 tary of the Academie des Sciences, of which 

 he had been elected a member in 1868. His 

 scientific papers were contributed to periodi- 

 cals, and many of his literary articles appeared 

 in the " Revue des Deux Mondes." He was 

 the author of a " Cours de Physique de 1'Ecole 

 Polytechnique " (3 vols., Paris, 1858-'61), and 

 " Appendix " (1875). 



Jewitt, Llewellyn, an English archaeologist, born 

 in Kimberworth, Yorkshire, in 1814 ; died in 

 Duffield, Derbyshire, in June, 1886. At an 

 early age he settled in London, and was em- 

 ployed in illustrating books. He was a large 

 contributor, both by pen and pencil, to the 

 " Illustrated London News " during his early 

 years, and published a " Hand-Book of British 

 Coins." He afterward had the superintend- 

 ence of "Punch," was subsequently appointed 

 librarian of Plymouth Public Library, and iden- 

 tified himself with various literary and scien- 

 tific institutions in the west of England. In 

 1854 he resigned the librarianship, removed 

 to Derby, and established the Derby "Tele- 

 graph," which he conducted for five years. 

 In 1860 he projected the "Reliquary," a quf 

 terly archseological review, which he success- 

 fully carried on until his death. His labors in 

 the field of archaeology are well known, and
