June 1812, he is supposed to have first materially enlarged his collection of theatrical pieces, and by April 1825, a period not exceeding thirteen years, when his own library was sold by Mr. Sotheby, he had accumulated no less than 2,918 lots relative to the drama. As an author, his fancy indulged in a playful revelry of satire and burlesque humour. He published, with his name, "Epigrams, in two books," in 1803, and some Eccentric tales, in verse, by Cornelius Crambo," 1808. But his most popular and wellknown production was the ludicrous "Burlesque Tragic Opera, Bombastes Furioso, first performed at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, August 7, 1810. After being often surreptitiously printed in London, Dublin, and New York, the author, in 1822, was induced to sanction a publication of this whimsical trifle with his name.

Paganel, then one of the deputies of the Legislative Assembly, boldly addressed the infuriated popu lace, at the imminent danger of his own life, and declared that the royal person was inviolable. His energy on this occasion awed the multitude, and saved his sovereign. Throughout the whole of his political career, M. Paganel distinguished himself by his love of justice and humanity. As a literary man, he has obtained deserved celebrity by his "Essai Historique et Critique sur la Revolution," 3 tom. 8vo. Paris, 1815. He also published an excellent translation of Casti's Animali Parlanți, 3 tom. 12mo. Liege, 1818; and various dissertations, all distinguished by elegance of style: "L'Ancienneté du Globe et de la Terre ;" "Cause de la Durée de la Monarchie des Chinois," &c. &c. The urbanity of his manners was equalled only by the benevolence of his heart; nor did even extreme age diminish the liveliness of his feelings. "Mes bons amis," said he, a short time previous to his death, "je le sens, mon cœur ne vieillira jamais.” M. Paganel was born at Villeneuve-sur-Lot, July 31st, 1745.

M. P. for Windsor, and John Henry Vivian, esq. of Marino, near Swansea.

7. John Flaxman, esq. R. A. Prof. Sculpture Royal Acad. This celebrated artist, who was born in 1754, may justly be said to have excelled all his countrymen in genius, and to have raised the British school of sculpture to a pitch it had never before attained.

T. but by her ladyship, who died in 1822, had no issue. He succeeded his half-brother Charles, the

late peer, April 2, 1819; and it is believed that, although the barony has existed for above two centuries, he was the first lord Dormer that ever sat in the House of Peers, his lordship having conscientiously and piously rejected the errors of popery, and conformed himself to the Established Church. The barony of Dormer has devolved on col. Joseph Dormer, of the Hungarian service, a cousin of the deceased peer.

Having succeeded his father, Oct. 21, 1805, a new writ was ordered, Jan. 21, 1806, and his place filled by the hon. Charles Lamb. At the general election of December, 1806, he was chosen a representative peer of Scotland, but this he continued only a few months, being an unsuccessful candidate at the election in June, 1807. He never afterward sat in either house; for, though possessed of no ordinary talents, his ill health forbade exertion. The name of his brother, the hon. Douglas Kinnaird, is well known in the political arena. Lord Kinnaird married, May 8, 1806, lady Olivia-LetitiaCatherine Fitzgerald, seventh and youngest daughter of the present duke of Leinster.

ters.

14. At Paris, Conrad Malte-Brun. This distinguished geographer was born in Jutland, in Dec. 1775, and received his education in the University of Copenhagen, where he distinguished himself by his attainments in philosophy and the classics. His parents intended him for the church, but he preferred dedicating himself exclusively to literature; and published a collection of poems, displaying considerable talent. Among these his Niels Ebbenson, and his Ode on the Sea-fight off Tripoli, are esteemed two of the best productions of the Danish muse. The interest he took in the French Revolution, however, gave a very different direction to his studies he commenced political writer, and, in consequence of the freedom of his opinions, was obliged to quit Denmark, and seek an asylum in Paris, where he at first supported himself by teaching languages. But still desirous of distinguishing himself, he soon directed all his attention to geographical pursuits, to which he applied himself for fifteen years with unremitted assiduity; and in 1804, commenced, in conjunction with Mentalle, his great work, "Géographie Mathématique, Physique, et Politique," of which sixteen volumes appeared from that period to 1807. In 1808 he undertook with Eyries the "Annales des Voy. ages," a very valuable work. His "Précis de la Géographie Universelle," is also a monument of research, industry, and profound learning. He was, likewise, during twenty-two years, a constant contributor to the Journal des Débats. In 1815 appeared his masterly and eloquent work, "Traité de la Legitimité," which may be considered as a recantation of the political errors of his youth. Some years after, he made application for permission to return to his native country, which was granted; and he was anxious to quit France in the Summer of 1826, but, being prevented by the pressure of his literary engagements, was obliged to defer his journey, which he intended should have taken place the following Spring. But he was destined never more to behold the land of his birth, being carried off by a nervous

attack. He has left behind him a "Dictionnaire Portatif de Géographie," and materials for a "Dictionnaire Géogra phique, Critique et Raisonné."

31. At Paris, of apoplexy, François Mazois, a distinguished architect, and writer on subjects of archæology and the fine arts. Mazois was born at Lorient, in the department of Morbihan, Oct. 12, 1783, and was educated at the central school at Bourdeaux, where he particularly applied himself to drawing and mathematical studies, and made great progress in those pursuits. After being examined by Monge, he was admitted into the Polytechnic school. His wishes led him to select the army as his future profession, but being afflicted with an incurable deafness,at the age of fifteen, he changed his views, and applied him self to architecture, as the next pursuit most congenial to his taste. After studying a short time under Percier, among whose pupils he soon distinguished himself, he determined to explore the classic soil of Italy, which his fortune enabled him to do at his own expense. At Rome he applied himself not only to the study of the remains of ancient buildings as an architect, but to archaology generally. Having acquired some celebrity in that city, he was invited to Naples by Murat, at that time sovereign of the South of Italy, to assist in embellishing his capital. The vicinity of Pompeii was to him an irresistible at

traction: and here he devoted himself with enthusiasm to making drawings, frequently passing whole weeks together in that employment, and in collecting materials for his noble work, "Les Ruines de Pompeii." He next proceeded to investigate the remains of Postum; measuring and drawing all the remains of that celebrated city with the utmost exactness. These labours occupied about twelve years, after which he returned to Paris, where he was employed in many public and private works, and was engaged to make designs for a palace for the deputies of the departments. As an architect his principal works are: the restoration of the palace at Portici, the restoration of the convent and church of the Trinity at Rome; various improvements in the French ambassador's palace, in the same city. At Paris he built four very ele gant private houses in the ChampsElysées, at Paris; alterations in the archiepiscopal palace at Rheims; the passage Choiseul, &e. at Paris, &c. His literary and graphic productions consist of "Les Ruines de Pompeii," of which twenty parts in folio have appeared, forming two-thirds of the whole; "Le Palais de Scaurus," 8vo. a very interesting and erudite description of a Roman mansion; "Les Ruines de Pæstum," intended as a sequel to his work on Pompeii. Unfortunately this is not completely prepared for publication, but there is reason to hope that it will yet be given to the public, as most of the plates are executed. Besides these works, Mazois contributed a great number of lives of architects, sculptors, and other artists, to the work, entitled "Galerie Fran çoise," and a variety of papers on archæological subjects to different journals. He was also preparing a "Mémoire sur les Embellissemens de Paris depuis 1800,"
