He was a sound classical scholar, and pub. He held the view that the Iliad and Odyssey are now substantially as they were originally composed. M. was Lord Rector of Glasgow Univ. 1847-48. Actor and dramatist, b. in Ireland, and ed. at St. Omer, went on the stage, then studied for the Bar, to which he was ultimately admitted after some demur on account of his connection with the stage.
The aggregate character of the numerous nobility which resigned its privileges in the Diet of 1847-48 of its own accord, and which was in its nature more a democratic than an aristocratic body, because neither territorial wealth nor rank interfered with or disturbed the equality of its rights, the national antipathy to the system of an upper house, which was considered as a foreign institution, because it had been introduced under the Austrian dynasty, the immemorial custom of periodically electing all officials, and even the judges, the detestation in which bureaucracy and all the instruments of centralization were held in all ages, while the attachment to the municipal self-government was ineradicable, the fact that, in consequence of the laws which had been sanctioned in April, 1848, the county authorities, formerly only elected from the "nobility," were democratically reconstituted, and exercised their functions in this form till the catastrophe of Világos, without the slightest collision between the different classes of society, the peaceful election of the representatives of the last Diet conducted almost on the principle of universal suffrage, all these facts unmistakeably prove that the germ of democracy lay in our institutions, and that these could receive a democratic development without any concussion.

And that is how Honore de Balzac had two votes in his favour at the Academy." This story is inexact chronologically. Balzac was not a candidate in 1847-48, when Monsieur Vatout was chosen, but at two later elections, those of the 11th and 18th of January 1849.
Each of the great epidemics of it 1830-33, 1836-37, 1847-48, and, of most vivid and unblessed memory, 1889-90 can be traced in its stately march completely across the civilized world, beginning, as do nearly all our world-epidemics, cholera, plague, influenza, etc., in China, and spreading, via India or Turkestan, to Russia, Berlin, London, New York, Chicago.

There is a confused story that in the winter of 1847-48 he had given the anti-slavery leaders to understand that he proposed to come out on their ground in regard to Mexico, and to sustain Corwin in his attack on the Democratic policy, but that he failed to do so. The evidence on this point is entirely insufficient to make it of importance, but there can be no doubt that in the winter of 1850 Mr.
He was given command of twenty-five dragoons and directed to proceed to Tajon Pass, through which marauding Indians were accustomed to pass when returning from their raids in California.
