mous Italian philosopher; born at Stilo, Cala.
bria, Sept. 5, 1568; died at Paris, May 21,
1639. At an unusually early age he had em-
braced the monastic life, astonishing his reli-
gious superiors with the precocious ripeness of
his Thomistic scholarship, and writing poems
and treatises that are still not beneath respect.
For twenty-seven years, however, he lay in a
Spanish prison, because of his political indis-
cretions with the pen. During this period
many of his treatises were compiled: but the
ordeal broke his spirit and induced the impo-
tence so characteristic of his thought in the
very hour of its realization; the consequence
being that even such great works as the
(Treatise on Material Philosophy) (1623) and
(Rational Philosophy) (1637) are painfully in.

poet and miscellaneous writer; born at Navia in
1817. He is at once one of the most popular

in Moral and Political Fables) and (Colon
his talent is most at home, although Doloras)
(Sorrows), a collection of poems in which he
gives expression to the best in contemporary
Spanish ideals, has attracted most attention.
His stories in verse, (The Good and the Wise)
and Juana's Loves) more particularly, are
deemed by many his masterpieces; but his
plays -- among them Dies Iræ,' a drama-are
not without a claim to that distinction. He
has written, as well, on political and social sub-
jects in sonorous prose.

of Poems) first drew popular attention to his
genius, which is strong in lyric compositions
and in odes, but strongest in the drama, as
(A Dispute in Granada) and (The Flower of
Bresalú) denote. His studies in dramatic criti-
cism, especially those of the infancy of the
Spanish theatre, possess a permanent value as

merits as specimens of a correct taste and an
almost faultless style.

of the French forfeiture of India and of Can-
ada through an impotent foreign policy; and
his best poetry is probably in the collection
Along the Coast.

ish dramatist; born in Madrid, July 4, 1676;
died there, Sept. 4, 1750. His precocity, of
which much is made, took the form of dra-
matic composition, in which he excelled at four-
teen; nor was he much older when his (Balance
Sheets (or Accounts) of the Great Captain)
was completed, - a historical play made note-
worthy by one scene of infinite effectiveness.
The Spanish stage owes to him, moreover,
(What Passes from Sceptre to Sceptre); (Eng.
land's Cruelty); and other productions of merit.
Canning, George. An English statesman,
orator, and writer; born in London, April 11,

life. He had grown more Liberal in his later
years, sickened at the stagnant and cruel re-
actionism that followed the panic over the
French Revolution, and assisted the South-
American republics to obtain independence.
His contributions to pure literature were mostly
contained in the short-lived Anti-Jacobin, a
Tory periodical after the fashion of the previous
Whig Rolliad, and full of wit; among them
are (The Needy Knife-Grinder,' and (The
Rovers, which contains (The University of
Gottingen. His speeches, however, are often
genuine literary productions; they were pub-
lished after his death, greatly altered (largely
for the worse) from their for as delivered. *
Cannizzaro, Tommaso (kän-its-är'o). An
Italian poet; born in Messina, Aug. 17, 1838.

compiled a “Practical English Spelling Book,'
and series of Readers.
Canonge, Jules (kä-nônzh). A French poet;

and story and produced worthy prose.
