 thor, born in Ipswich, England, in 1831; died 

 Dec. 3, 1902. He was educated at Cambridge,

 terested in social and economic questions, and was 

 a vigorous preacher. He was the author of Life: 

 Its Friends and Foes (1873); From Home and 

 Back, or Some Aspects of Sin as seen in the Light

 quence of the Cross (1877) ; Nature and Prevalence 

 of Modern Unbelief (1881) ; Reasonable Apprehen- 

 sions and Reassuring Hints (1883), a work that 

 has been widely circulated; Ethics and Theology

Francisco d'Assisi, ex-King of Spain, born 

 May 13, 1822; died April 17, 1902. Don Fran- 

 cisco was the son of the Infante Francisco de 

 Paula, Duke of Cadiz, a brother of King Ferdi- 

 nand VII, and of the Infanta Luisa, daughter 

 of Francis I, King of the Two Sicilies. He was 

 married on Oct. 10, 1846, to Queen Isabella II, 

 his cousin, who bestowed on him the title of King 

 by courtesy, and appointed him captain-general 

 of the army. His army rank also was merely 

 titular, for he had no gift for either military af- 

 fairs or for government, but was of a religious 

 bent, and his marriage proved an empty form, 

 for the youthful Queen of Spain could not endure 

 him, and he lived most of the time in retirement 

 in the cloister of Calatrava. He accompanied the 

 Queen in 1868 when she went to San. Sebastian to 

 arrange a treaty with the Emperor Napoleon 

 III for the despatch of Spanish troops to Rome 

 for the protection of the Pope in case the French 

 garrison were withdrawn in the event of a war 

 between France and Germany. The revolution 

 which broke out in Cadiz simultaneously with 

 the meeting of the monarchs compelled Queen 

 Isabella to flee the country. She went with her 

 consolt to Paris, where in 1870 she formally ab- 

 dicated in favor of her son Alfonso. At the 

 same time she arranged a separation from her 

 husband, allowing him an income on which he 

 lived in a fine villa at Epinay, while she main- 

 tained a large mansion in Paris. 



Fuchs, Lazarus, German mathematician, born 

 in Moschin, Posen, May 15, 1833; died April 26, 

 1902. He early devoted his attention to mathe- 

 matics, and became extraordinary professor at 

 Berlin in 1866, ordinary professor at Greifswald 

 in 1869, at Gottingen in 1874, at Heidelberg in 

 1875, and finally at Berlin in 1884. He is chiefly 

 famous for his work in connection with the theory 

 of linear differential equations, to the stiidy of 

 which he attracted attention by his famous mem- 

 oir published in Crelles . Journal (vol. Ixvi). 

 Among his important contributions to math- 

 ematical literature are his researches on linear 

 equations with algebraic integrals, on construct- 

 ing linear equations the integrals of which have 

 assigned singularities, and on equations the inte- 

 grals of which have algebraic relations.

Gace, Frederick Aubert, English elerygman, 

 born in 1811; died in Hading, England, Dec. 10, 

 1902. He was graduated at Oxford in 1837, and 

 was admitted to the priesthood of the Anglican 

 Church in 1838. After serving as curate in sev- 

 eral places, was appointed chaplain of the West- 

 minister House of Correction in 1854, and head 

 master of Camberwell Grammar School, London, 

 in 1860. In 1863 he received the living of Barling 

 Magna, Essex, and was rector there until his 

 death. Although holding advanced High-Church 

 opinions, he resembled Dr. Pusey in his indiffer- 

 ence to points of ritual, and insisted on preach- 

 ing in the black gown to the last. In 1870 he 

 published Some Questions of the Church Cate- 

 chism and Doctrines Involved, briefly Explained, 

 a work that excited much attention and was wit- 

 tily paraphrased in Punch. His other published 

 works are A Complete View of the Holy Eu- 

 charist, Doctrinal, Practical, and Controversial 

 (1871); and The Arithmetic of Abstract Num- 

 bers (1875). 



Gagneur, Mme. Marie Louise (Mignerot), 

 French novelist, born at Domblans, in the Jura, 

 France, about 1831; died in Paris, Feb. 17, 1902. 

 She began to write early, and an essay by her 

 upon trades-unionism, written at eighteen, at- 

 tracted the notice of Vladimir Gagneur, a mem- 

 ber of the Chamber of Deputies, who shortly aft- 

 erward married her. She was an ardent repub- 

 lican even in the days of the third empire, and 

 her various romances were extremely popular, 

 especially with the socialists and anticlericals. 

 She had an easy, fluent style, and her pages were 

 not lacking in partizan vigor and color. For 

 several years before her death she had been 

 ranked among the most gifted of the French- 

 women of the last half-century, and in 1901 she 

 received the decoration' of the Legion of Honor. 

 Her writings comprise Une Expiation (1859); 

 Un Femme hors Ligne (1862) ; Un Drame Electo- 

 ral (1863) ; La Croisade Noir (1865) ; Le Calvaire 

 des Femmes (1867); Les Reprouves (1867); Les 

 Forgats de Mariage (1869); Chair a Canon 

 (1872); La Politique au Village (1874); Les 

 Droits du Mari (1876); Le Roman d'un Pretre, 

 which, appearing in weekly instalments in a 

 Paris journal, was seized by the press censors at 

 the nineteenth instalment (1876); Le Divorce 

 (1877) ; Les Vierges Russes (1880) ; La Fournaise 

 (1884); Jean Caboche; Les Chevaliers du Sacris- 

 tie; and M. le Baron Pirouette. 



Gardiner, Samuel Rawson, English historian, 

 born in Ropley, Hampshire, England, March 4, 

 1829; died in Sevenoaks, Kent, Feb. 24, 1902. He 

 was educated at Winchester and Oxford, but re- 

 signed his studentship in the university in his 

 junior year upon finding that a degree would 

 not be conferred on him on account of his hav- 

 ing become an Irvingite. More than thirty years 

 later he received his degree. He married and set- 

 tled in London, and soon began the great task 

 he had set himself, the preparation of a history 

 of England from 1603 to 1669. Not being pos- 

 sessed of independent means, he was obliged dur- 

 ing the continuance of this undertaking to engage 

 in teaching, and his non-professional hours were 

 all that he was able to devote to research and 

 writing. He was Professor of History at Univer- 

 sity College. London, in 1871-'85, historical lec- 

 turer for the University Extension Society in 

 1880-'94, Ford lecturer at Oxford in 1896, and 

 examiner in history for London University till 

 1901, and examiner in the Final History School 

 at Oxford in 1886-'89. The first instalment of 

 his history appeared in 1863, entitled A History 

 of England from the Accession of James I to the
