OBITUARIES, FOREIGN. (HANNEN HERZOG.) 



most always pleasing. As au artist he never rose to 

 eminence, but his pictures were popular and certainly 



hud merit. Two of them were presented by him to 

 his American friend the late Horatio Nelson Powers, 

 to whom his " 1'nknown Biver " is inscribed From 

 1866 to 1868 he was art critic for the " Saturday Re- 

 view," and in 1869 he founded a new art review, de- 

 voted mainlv to etching, which was styled u The Port- 

 folio." lie also wrote much for the " Fortnightly Re- 

 view" and other periodicals, English, French, and 

 American. His "Intellectual Life" has probably 

 Keen the most widely read of any of his books, and 

 there are few books of a didactic character so uni- 

 formly interesting as this one. which lias had a forma- 

 tive influence upon numberless young English and 

 American readers, and is likely to have for some time 

 to come. He wrote two novels, the earliest of which, 

 called " Wenderholme," though weak in construction, 

 was a capital study of certain phases of life and char- 

 acter in Lancashire and Yorkshire, and deserves to be 

 better known. His later novel, " Marmorne," is an 

 equallv faithful and picturesque story of French life, 

 and displays greater skill in construction. As Mr. 

 llamerton advanced in life his style, always enter- 

 taining, acquired a deeper, richer tone, while his dis- 

 position to look at all sides of a subject and deal fair- 

 ly and justly with them all became more marked 

 than ever. He was not a profound thinker, but he 

 was in every sense an intelligent one, possessed in a 

 high degree of that moderation which greater critics 

 have often lacked. The list of his published works 

 includes the following books : " Observations on 

 Heraldry" (London, 1851) ; " The Isles of Loch Awe, 

 and Other Poems of my Y outh " (London, 1855) ; " A

 for "The Historic Times," was not republished in 

 book form. 



Hannen, James, Lord, an English jurist, born in 

 London, in Ivjl ; died there, 'March 29, 1894. He 

 was the son of a merchant of London, and was edu- 

 cated at St. Paul's School, studied jurisprudence at 

 Heidelberg, and was called to the bar m 1848. He 

 wrote for the press before success came in his profes- 

 sion, in which his painstaking accuracy, good sense, 

 and thoroughness soon carried him to the front, past 

 more brilliant and eloquent competitors. He acted 

 for Great Britain in the mixed British and American 

 commission for the settlement of outstanding claims, 

 and was one of the prosecuting counsel in the Fenian 

 trials at Manchester. Having been junior counsel for 



the Treasury for five years, he was made a judge of 

 die Queen's bench in 1808. In 1872 he became a 

 judge of the Probate and Divorce Court, and the pro- 

 cedure now followed, the law as to testament arv 

 capacity and as to marital obligations, were in a inva't 

 measure laid down by him. In 1875 he became presi- 

 dent of the probate and admiralty division of the 

 High Court of Justice. Sir James Hannen presided 

 over the Parnell commission and wrote a large part 

 of the report. He was appointed a lord of appeal 

 and created a life peer in January, 1891. In the Be- 

 ring Sea Commission at Paris he was one of the 

 British arbitrators. 



Hasenauer, Carl, Freiherr von, an Austrian architect, 

 born in Vienna, July 20, 1833; died there, Jan. 4, 

 1894. He studied in the Collegium Carolinum at 

 Brunswick and the Vienna Academy, and, after ex- 

 tensive travel, began the practice of his profession in 

 Vienna. He was not as able an architect, but was a 

 better courtier than Friedrich Schmidt, Heinrich Fer- 

 stel, and Theophil Hansen, who were engaged, like 

 him, in the rebuilding of Vienna, but when Gottfried 

 Semper died, in 1879, he was chosen to carry out the 

 designs of that architect in the public buildings on 

 the Ringstrasse, such as the two museums, the Court 

 Theater, and the palace. Critics found much fault 

 with the changes that he made in those plans and 

 with the results. 



Herman, Henry, an English playwright, born about 

 1850; died in London, Sept. 25, lt>94. He was an ex- 

 pert in the technique of theatrical representation, and 

 assisted H. A. Jones in the preparation of " The Sil- 

 ver King" (1882), and W. G. Wills in " Claudian " 

 (1884), having previously written " Jeanne Dubarry " 

 (1875) and "^Slight Mistakes" (1876), and, in con- 

 junction with Joseph Mackay, " Caryswold" (1877). 

 His later original plays, " Old Virginia" (1891) and 

 "Eagle Joe" (L892), had no great success. He wrote 

 " A Leading Lady," " Hearts of Gold and Hearts of 

 Steel," and other stories; was the collaborator of D. 

 Christie Murray in " One Traveler Returns," " He 

 fell among Thieves," and other novels. He published 

 also a humorous book of anecdotes entitled " Between 

 the Whiffs." 



Hertz, Heinrich, a German physicist, bom in Ham- 

 burg, Feb. 22, 1857 ; died in Bonn, Jan. 1, 1894. He 

 began to study engineering in 1875, devoted himself 

 later to physics, and attended the Universities of 

 Munich and Berlin, taking his degree in 1880 at the 

 latter, where he became Helmholtz's assistant. In 

 1883 he went to Kiel to teach theoretical physics as a 

 privat decent. In 1885 he was called to Carlsruhe 

 as Professor of Physics in the Technological High 

 School, and in 1889 he became the successor of Clau- 

 sius in the professorship of Physics at Bonn. His in- 

 vestigations were particularly directed to electrical 

 phenomena. In 1887-'88 he investigated the connec- 

 tion between light and electricity, and the generation 

 of ethereal waves of great wave length. In 1890 he 

 roused the attention of scientists by a paper on the 

 relations between light and electricity. He showed 

 at the Electric Exhibition in Frankfort an apparatus 

 for detecting waves of electricity. 



Herzog, Hans, a Swiss general, born in Aarau, in 

 1819; died there, Feb. 2, 1894. He was educated at 

 the Aarau Gymnasium, joined the army in 1839, and 

 after completing his term of service studied military 

 science independently in his spare hours. In 1M6 

 lie served a few months as a volunteer in the Wiir- 

 temberg Artillery, then returned to civil occupations. 

 His knowledge and experience in military all'airs 

 were recognized in his appointment as chief of the 

 Federal artillery in 1860. He organized this arm of 

 the service with ability and energy, and when the 

 Franco-Prussian War broke out, in 1870, he was made 

 commancler-in-chief of the army of 35,000 men that 

 was mobilized to guard the neutrality of the frontier. 

 He reported the cantonal militia generally inefficient, 

 and after the French army, on Feb. 1, 1S71, sur- 

 rended on the terms that he arranged with Gen. 

 Clinchant and he had returned to his duties as chief
