William Waddeu Turner, philologist, born 

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

 Washington, D. C, November 29, 1859. He 

 came to New Tork 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, Latin, German, and Hebrew. 

 Afterward he studied Arabic with Prof. Isaac 

 Nordheinier, and they proposed to write 

 together an Arabic grammar, but, receiving no 

 encouragement, they jirepared instead A Crit- 

 ical Grammar of the Hebrew Language (2 vols., 

 New Tork, 1838) andChrestomathy : or A Gram- 

 matical Anal.ysisof 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 ofthe.se books, Mr. 

 Turner removed to New Haven, as the only 

 sufficient supply of oriental type was to be 

 found tliere and at Andi>ver. He was engaged 

 in setting the type during the day, and spent 

 his evenings in jirepariug tlie 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. He 

 edited a Vocabulary of the Jargon or Trade Lan- 

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

 tionary of the Toruba Language fl8.'')8), which 

 was issued by the Suiithsouian Institution. In

 missioner of pateuts to take charge of the 

 lil)rary of that department. He was a member 

 of the American oriental society •■ind secretary 

 of the National institute for the promotion of 

 science. Mr. Turner was considered in hisdaj' 

 the most skillful proof-reader in the United 

 States. In addition to the literary labors that 

 have been already mentioned, he translated
