William Wadden Turner, philologist, born 

 in London, England, October 23,1810; died in 

 Washington, D. C, November 29, 18.J9. Ho 

 came to New York in 1818, and, after a public- 

 school education, was apprenticed to the car- 

 penter's trade, but subsequently became a 

 printer. At the age of twenty-six he was master 

 of the French, L.atin, German, and Hebrew. 

 Afterward be studied Arabic with Prof. Isaac 

 Nordheimer, and they proposed to write 

 together an Arabic gr.ammar, but, receiving no 

 encouragement, they prepared instead A Crit- 

 ical Grammar of the Hebrew Language (2 vols., 

 New York, 1838) and Chrestom.athy : or A Gr.im- 

 matical Analysis of Selections from the Hebrew 

 Scriptures, with an Exercise in Hebrew Compo- 

 sition (1838) ; also a Hebrew and Chaldee Con- 

 cordance to the Old Testament (1842). In order 

 to superintend the printing of these books, Mr. 

 Turner removed to New Haven, as the only 

 sufficient supply of oriental type was to be 

 found there and at Andover. He was engaged 

 in setting the typo during the day, and spent 

 his evenings in preparing the manuscript. On 

 the completion of the works, Mr. Turner added 

 to his linguistic attainments a knowledge of 

 Sanskrit .and most of the other chief Asiatic lan- 

 guages, and later he turned his attention to the 

 languages of the North American Indians. Ho 

 edited a Vocabulary of the Jargon or Trade Lan- 

 guage of Oregon (1853), and Grammar and Dic- 

 tionary of the Yoruba L.anguage (1858), which 

 was issued by the Smithsonian Institution. In 

 1842 he was elected professor of oriental litera- 

 ture in Union theological seminary, New York 

 city, and he continued in that offic(? until 1852, 

 when he was called to Washington by the com- 

 missioner of patents to take charge of the 

 library of that department. He was a member 

 of the American oriental society and secretary 

 of the National institute for the promotion of 

 science. Mr. Turner was considered in his day 

 the most skillful proof-reader in the United 

 St.'ites. In addition to the literary labors that 

 have be(^u .already mentioned, he translated 

 from the Germnn Frii ilrich L. G. von Raumer's
