Lönnrot, Elias (lėn'rot). A Finnish philolo-
gist; born at Sammatti, in Nyland, April 9, 1802 ;
died there, March 19, 1884. Recognizing the
value of the people's songs and ballads for
Finnish language-study, he spent years in col-
lecting such material in Finland, Lapland, and
adjoining provinces, and published the fruits
of his researches in a series of volumes. Among
his «finds » is to be numbered the great pop-
ular epic 'Kalevala,' of which only a few cantos
were previously known to the learned world.

John I. ,' describing the great struggle between
Portugal and Castile, has invited comparison
with Froissart's writings on account of its pict-
uresqueness and dramatic reality. Equally
vigorous are his chronicles of Dom Pedro I.
and Don Fernando.

atist and story-writer; born at Eisfeld, Feb.
II, 1813; died at Dresden, Feb. 25, 1865. His
first ambition was for music; and, at first self-
taught, a melodrama he wrote gained him the
means of becoming a pupil of Mendelssohn at
Leipsic. But he soon abandoned this, and
went into retirement to write novels and dra.
mas; many of the latter he never published,
but in 1850 he brought out his tragedy (The
Hereditary Forester,' very faulty in construction
though with manifold great excellences. He
essayed a higher fight in the tragedy (The
Maccabees) (1855), but again failed in con-
struction. He turned now to story-telling, and
began a series of tales of Thuringian life.
To this series belongs (Between Heaven and
Earth) (1857), his masterpiece.
