dictated by the climate, the season, and the nature of the disease, and of which the boldness was justified by success. La Chaume himself was attacked by the epidemic, and a great number of medical officers of all rauks, as well as the nurses, were carried off by it. When peace was concluded La Chaume returned to France, and was received with distinction by the Comte d'Artois (afterwards Charles X.), who had been a witness of his self-devotion and success at Algesiras, and who appointed him to be one of his own physicians. Shortly afterwards he married, but in the winter of 1785-86 he found that, in consequence of the rapid progress made by a pulmonary disease which had for some time threatened him, it was necessary for him to go to the south of France. Here he met with the kindest attentions from the officers of the regiment which he had formerly taken charge of at Ajaccio, who were at this time in garrison at Montpellier; at which place he died, October 28, 1786, at the early age of thirty-six. Thion de la Chaume wrote but little, though he is said to have carefully noted down every night whatever he had seen during the day worth recording; he nevertheless occupies a high rank in the list of army surgeons. His writings consist almost entirely of articles in medical dictionaries and periodicals, of which the most interesting is the account of the epidemic at Algesiras, which was published in the second volume of the 'Journal de Médicine Militaire." (Biographie Médicale.) *THIRLWALL, RT. REV. CONNOP, Bishop of St. David's, was born in 1797, at Stepney, in Middlesex. His father was rector of Bowers-Gifford, Essex. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took his degree of B.A. in 1818, and M.A. in 1821, and of which he became a Fellow. He was called to the bar of Lincoln's Inn in 1825, but withdrew from the legal profession, was ordained, and became rector of Kirby-under-Dale, Yorkshire. In 1828 appeared the first volume of "The History of Rome,' by G. B. Niebuhr, translated by Julius Charles Hare, M.A., and Connop Thirlwall, M.A., Fellows of Trinity College, Cambridge, 8vo, and they

translated also the second volume, but the third volume, published in 1832, after Niebuhr's death, was translated by Dr. W. Smith and Dr. L. Schmitz. In 1835 Mr. Thirlwall published in 'Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopædia' the first volume of his History of Greece,' and the work was completed in 8 vols. 12mo. It commences with a series of learned inquiries into the early history and antiquities of Greece, and extends to the capture of Corinth by Mummius, B.C. 146, and the transformation of Greece into a Roman province. A few pages on the future state of the country completes the work. In 1840 he took the degrees of B.D. and D.D., and in the same year was created Bishop of St. David's. He was formerly an Examiner of the University of London, and is now Visitor of St. David's College, Lampeter. In 1845 Bishop Thirlwall commenced the publication of a new edition of his History of Greece,' the plan of the work being considerably enlarged, as well as the materials improved and expanded - The History of Greece,' by Connop Thirlwall, D.D., Bishop of St. Davids, 8 vols. 8vo, 1845-52. In 1851 was published 'A History of Greece, from the Earliest Times to the Destruction of Corinth, B.C. 146, mainly based upon that of Connop Thirlwall, D.D., Bishop of St. David's,' by Leonhard Schmitz, F.R.S.E., Rector of the High School of Edinburgh, 12mo, London. In the preface to this work Dr. Schmitz makes the following remarks:-" Within the last fifty years more has been done by both English and foreign scholars to elucidate the history of Greece than at any former period since the revival of learning; and the results of all these labours are two English works on the history of Greece such as no other nation can boast of." These two works, he observes, "have been executed by Bishop Thirlwall and Mr. Grote in a manner which throws all previous attempts of a similar nature into the shade."

Bishop Thirlwall has not written any other work of importance. A few of his Sermons and of his Charges to the clergy of his diocese have been published in a separate form.
