OBITUARIES, FOREIGN. (MARCHAND MARTINEZ DE CAMPOS.) 



of that year, was in a small part in Claudian. 

 He was a member of Mr. Barrett's company four 

 years, during which he was steadily promoted. 

 Mis most important parts were the tetrarch in 

 Claudian, the bishop in Ben-ma-Chree, the ghost 

 in Hamlet, Nero in The Sign of the Cross, Jediah 

 in Daughters of Babylon, and Dentatus in Vir- 

 ginius. In Mr. Barrett's revival of Othello, in 

 London, May 22, 1897, he played lago with much 

 success. Early in 1898 he joined Mr. Beerbohm 

 Tree's company for the revival of Julius Caesar, 

 in which he played Cassius, Jan. 22. In Ragged 

 Robin, produced by Mr. Tree, June 23, 1898, he 

 was Farmer Stokes; Cardinal Richelieu in The 

 .Musketeers, Nov. 3, 1898; and Quince in A Mid- 

 summer-Night's Dream, Jan. 10, 1900. His last 

 appearance was made June 21, 1900, in the part 

 of Derrick in Tree's revival of Rip Van Winkle. 

 He married, Dec. 18, 1898, Grace, daughter of the 

 actor Charles Warner. 



Marchand. Gabriel, a Canadian statesman, 

 born in St. John's, Jan. 9, 1832: died in Quebec, 

 Sept. 25, 1900. He was educated in the St. Hya- 

 cinthe College, settled as a notary in his native 

 place, was elected to the first Legislative Assembly 

 of Quebec in 1867, and represented his town in that 

 body continuously till his death. He was Pro- 

 vincial Secretary and later Commissioner for 

 Crown Lands in H. G. Joly's Liberal Cabinet of 

 1878. When the Liberals were in power from 1887 

 to 1892 under the Mercier Cabinet he served as 

 Speaker of the House of Assembly. After the re- 

 turn of the Conservatives he took the place of 

 Mercier as leader of the Opposition, and in 1897, 

 when the Liberals triumphed at the polls, he be- 

 came Premier of Quebec with the portfolio of Co- 

 lonial Treasurer, and died in office. He was an 

 active organizer of the volunteers among the 

 French Canadians during the Fenian excitement, 

 and commanded a brigade in 1870 when the Feni- 

 ans invaded the province. He was also a news- 

 paper writer and editor and a dramatist, author 

 of four comedies. 



Martineau. James, an English theologian and 

 philosopher, born in Norwich, England, April 21, 

 1805; died in London, Jan. 11, 1900. He was of 

 Huguenot descent. His father was a camlet manu- 

 facturer and wine merchant of Norwich. The son 

 was sent to Dr. Lant Carpenter's school at Bristol, 

 and at eighteen entered Manchester New College, 

 then at York. He was ordained in 1828 as junior 

 pastor of the Presbyterian (more properly Uni- 

 tarian) Chapel, in Eustace Street, Dublin. His un- 

 willingness to accept the regium donum, or annual 

 allowance made to the Irish Presbyterian churches 

 by the Crown, caused him to resign this charge 

 and accept a call to Paradise Street Chapel, Liver- 

 pool, in 1832. Here he remained till 1857, and 

 his congregation erected a new chapel for him in 

 Hope Street in 1848. At this period he became 

 known, both as writer and preacher, far beyond 

 the limits of the Unitarian body, and after his 

 removal to London in 1857 to become at first the 

 colleague of his friend Taylor at the Little Port- 

 land Street Chapel, and from 1861 to 1872 sole 

 minister, he was ranked among the foremost Eng- 

 lish preachers of his time. On his resignation in 

 1S72 his congregation and his friends presented 

 him with a purse of nearly 10,000. He was 

 appointed Professor of Philosophy at Manchester 

 New College in 1840, was principal of the college 

 in 18fi9-'85, president in 1886-'87, and vice-presi- 

 dent in 1888-1900. During the building of his 

 chancl at Liverpool he spent many months in the 

 study nf philosophy at Berlin and Dresden, and 



ho\v givatly he was influenced by this experience 

 may be seen in his own words, in which the 



change in his thought is described " as a new in- 

 tellectual birth." A marked characteristic of his 

 long career was his steady growth. Says one 

 writer of him in this connection: "His early 

 works are good ; incomparably better are his latest, 

 and the best are the monuments of patient work 

 constructed at an age when the most active-minded 

 become weary and long for repose." As an acute 

 thinker he is perhaps seen at his best in his Study 

 of Religion, which contains a searching examina- 

 tion of agnosticism and elaborate study of the doc- 

 trine of causality. As a reviewer he wrote with 

 vigor and even severity on occasion, and in the 

 discussion of speculative theories displayed small 

 patience with verbal evasions of familiar difficul- 

 ties. Until the age of ninety it was his custom 

 to rise at six o'clock and work several hours at 

 his desk till the midday luncheon, resuming labor 

 after dinner, and continuing to write or study 

 till midnight. Long before his death he had come 

 to be ranked as the foremost philosophical think- 

 er in Great Britain, and the passage of each year 

 deepened the reverence with which he was re- 

 garded. In certain respects he resembled his dis- 

 tinguished sister Harriet, but they were far apart 

 in their convictions, and it is doubtful if she ever 

 comprehended the serenity of his thought. He was 

 a voluminous writer, but he published only a com- 

 paratively small part of what he composed, his 

 habit being to subject all that he wrote to the 

 severest condensation. Besides editing several col- 

 lections of devotional literature, he published Ra- 

 tionale of Religious Inquiry (1836); Endeavors 

 after the Christian Life (1843-'47); Unitarianism 

 Defended, with J. N. Thorn and H. Giles (1839); 

 Miscellanies (1852); Studies of Christianity 

 (1858); Essays: Philosophical (first series, 1866; 

 second series, 1868) ; A Word for Scientific The- 

 ology (1868); New Affinities of Faith (1869); 

 Why Dissent? an address (1869); The Place of 

 Mind in Nature, a lecture (1872); Hymns of 

 Praise and Prayer (1874) ; Religion as Affected by 

 Modern Materialism (1874) ; Modern Materialism: 

 Its Attitude toward Theology (1876); Hours of 

 Thought on Sacred Things (l876-'80) ; Ideal Sub- 

 stitutes for God, a lecture (1878) ; Loss and Gain 

 in Recent Theology (1881) ; The Relation between 

 Ethics and Religion (1881); A Study of Spinoza 

 (1882) ; Types of Ethical Theory (1885) ; A Study 

 of Religion: Its Sources and Contents (1888) ; The 

 Seat of Authority in Religion (1890) ; Essays, Re- 

 views, and Addresses (1890-'91). "To Dr. Mar- 

 tineau's Huguenot ancestry," says one writer, 

 " may perhaps be traced some of the sterner sides 

 of his character his independence, his ready sacri- 

 fice of all and everything for the truth's sake, his 

 rapierlike thrusts in argument. But the influence 

 exercised by him over the minds and hearts of 

 men, women, children, flowed from his own in- 

 dividuality. . . . The test of a public speaker's 

 utterances lies in the effect they produce when 

 read, and here Dr. Martineau never failed. The 

 printed word has all the charm of the spoken one."
