The deceased professor was entered at Trinity College nearly seventy years ago, in company with Professor Sedgwick, the late Lord Langdale, and Dr. Blomfield, formerly Bishop of London. He graduated in the year 1808, and with such distinction that he was elected to a Trinity fellowship in due course. In the year 1817 he became professor of anatomy, and he discharged the duties of this professorship for nearly half a century.

DR. BRYSON, M.D., F.R.S., Honorary Physician to the Queen, and lately director-general of the navy medical department. The deceased gentleman began his medical studies in Edinburgh.

DAVID NAPIER, of Glenshellish, Argyleshire, aged 79. Along with his relative, Mr. Robert Napier, of Shandon, he laid the foundation of the world-wide fame of the firm of Napier and Sons as shipbuilders and marine engineers. As far back as 1818 he was the first to introduce British coasting steamers, as well as steam packets for our Post-office service. He was also first to establish a regular steam communication between Greenock and Belfast. Mr. Napier invented the steeple-engine, which was a great improvement on the side lever, as occupying much less space.-Builder.

PROFESSOR CONINGTON (Latin, in the University of Oxford), one of the most learned of modern critical scholars. During a short life he did more for classical and critical literature than most of his contemporaries; and his name is honoured not only in his own country, but elsewhere in Europe, especially in Germany. In 1848 he published The Agamemnon of Eschylus, with notes and a translation into English verse; in 1850 he edited Dr. Magin's Homeric Ballads; in 1854 he was elected to the newly-founded Professorship of Latin at Oxford; in 1855 he delivered (and had printed) his Inaugural Lecture on the Academical Study of Latin; in 1857 he issued an edition of the Choephoroi of Eschylus, with Notes; in 1858, he added to the Bibliotheca Classica the works of Virgil, with an English commentary; in 1863 he published a translation of The Odes of Horace; and in 1867 a very spirited rendering of The Eneid into English verse, in a metre similar to that adopted by Sir Walter Scott in "The Lady of the Lake." The Professor, who

was only forty-four years of age, was one of the most learned of modern critical scholars, and had crowded the work of many years into a short and brilliant life.-Illustrated London News.

THE REV. JOHN WEBB, M.A., the well-known antiquary and scholar. Mr. Webb had attained his ninety-third year, having been born in the year 1776. From boyhood he showed a strong love for history and antiquities, especially for those of his own country; and he used to talk in after-life of the pleasures of a tall black-letter folio copy of Hollingshed's Chronicles which he had found in the library of St. Paul's School. One of his earliest friends was Sir Henry Ellis, the late Librarian of the British Museum. They knew each other as boys; throughout their long lives they maintained a constant intimacy, fostered by a similarity in literary pursuits, and Mr. Webb survived his old friend but a few weeks.-Athenæum.

JOHN RICHARD WALBRAN, F.S.A., Corresponding Member for the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, honorary member of the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle-on-Tyne, and local secretary of the Archæological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland.

GENERAL JOMINI, the well-known writer on military tactics, at the age of ninety.

PROF. HUBER, at Wernigerode. His book on the English Universities, translated by Mr. Frank Newman in 1843, is still the best book of its kind. He resigned his Professorship of Literature in Berlin to pursue social science in general, and cooperation in particular; and his cheery face was well known at the co-operative meetings of the Christian Socialists, the Rochdale Pioneers, &c. He has written and printed many helpful tracts and books on Co-operation, of which he was one of the acknowledged leaders in Germany.-Athenæum.

DR. WADDINGTON, who was a medallist so long ago as the comet year, 1811: he went to Greece, Egypt, and Ethiopia early in the century, soon after Byron had made the Levant a place of pilgrimage. A Visit to Ethiopia, A Visit to Greece, published in 1825, The Present Condition and Prospects of the Greek Church, all testified to his careful observation of the East. Later in life he wrote a History of the Church, and a History of the Reforma

tion on the Continent. After his appointment to the Deanery of Durham he gave up writing for the public.-Athenæum.

MR. BERGENROTH, the distinguished littérateur. He was at Simancas, the field of his useful and important labours, when he was attacked by fever, and though he left for Madrid, he gradually succumbed.

His Calendars of State Papers will long preserve his memory in the grateful minds of literary and historical students.

FREDERICK HERING, architect. Mr. Hering, who belonged to a family of artists, was an accomplished and amiable man, but seems to have obtained few opportunities to distinguish himself in his profession.

ARTHUR ASHPITEL, F.S.A., architect and archæologist. His contributions have been frequent and valuable to the Society of Antiquaries, the Archæological Association, and to the Dictionary of the Architectural Publication Society. In connection with the British Archæological Association he contributed papers on the Cathedrals of Worcester, Chester, Lincoln, Rochester, and others. He also edited an edition of Nicholson's Carpentry, and quite lately edited, under the title A Treatise on Architecture, papers on Architecture and the Arts of Construction, originally published in the Encyclopædia Britannica. Mr. Ashpitel took a very active interest in the affairs of the Royal Institute of Architects; and he bequeathed the greater part of his rare and valuable books, and his collection of antique and Etruscan vases, brought by him from Italy, to the Society of Antiquaries.—— Builder.
