MÜLLER, Charles Louis, popularly known as Müller de Paris, a French painter, born in Paris, Dec. 22, 1815. He studied under Cogniet and Gros, and in the school of fine arts, and in 1837 exhibited his first picture, “Christmas Morning.” From 1850 to 1853 he was director of the manufacture of Gobelin tapestry, and in 1864 he succeeded Flandrin in the academy of fine arts.

In 1855 he exhibited a large painting, Vive l'empereur, illustrating a poem by Méry, representing an episode in the battle before Paris, March 30, 1814, which gained for him a medal of the first class. Among his later works are “Desdemona” (1868), and “Lanjuinais at the Tribune” (1869).

Edition of 1879. See also Lázár Mészáros on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
MÉSZÁROS, Lázár, a Hungarian general, born in Baja, county of Bács, Feb. 20, 1796, died at Eywood, Herefordshire, England, Nov. 16, 1858. He studied law at Pesth, but in 1813, on the outbreak of the new war against Napoleon, he entered the Hungarian army in the service of the emperor Francis. He was in Italy as colonel of a hussar regiment in the spring of 1848, when he received the first information of the important changes in Hungary, and was soon after offered the ministry of war in the cabinet of Batthyanyi, and started for Pesth. Elected a member of the diet, he defended the moderate measures of the ministry. He went to the seat of war in the south, but failed in his attempts to storm the Rascian ramparts of Szent-Tamás (September). When Austria avowed the purpose of subjugating Hungary, he took the revolutionary side. In December he was sent to the north to check the advance of Schlick; but after an indecisive encounter at Szikszó (Dec. 28), his motley army suffered a total rout before Kaschau (Jan. 4, 1849). When the difficulties with Gorgey compelled Kossuth to appoint a new commander-in-chief, the title was given to Mészáros and the real command to Dembinski, with whom
Mészáros soon after shared in the defeats at Szöreg (Aug. 5) and Temesvár (Aug. 9), and a few days later was an exile in Turkey. Accompanying Kossuth to Widin, Shumla, and Kutaieh, he was allowed in May, 1851, to depart for England. He lived for some time in France, went to the island of Jersey after the coup d'état of Dec. 2, 1851, and in the summer of 1853 sailed to America, where he resided at Flushing, L. I., and was naturalized as an American citizen. At his death he was on his way to visit Switzerland.

Edition of 1879. See also Maler Müller on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
Müller, Friedrich, a German painter and poet, born in Creuznach in 1750, died in Rome, April 23, 1825. He early devoted himself to painting and copperplate engraving, and in his 18th year published several collections of etchings, which attracted much attention from their originality. In 1776 he went to Rome, and studied the works of Michel Angelo; but his taste for the grotesque constantly increased and gave a fantastic character to his productions. He was chiefly known as a guide in Rome, where he was called Müller the painter. He succeeded better as an author than as an artist, writing idyls, romances, ballads, and dramas. His best drama is Niobe. A complete edition of his works has been published (3 vols., Heidelberg, 1811; 2d ed., 1825).

His wit and erudition became celebrated; his quarrels, his social relations, and the epigrams and witticisms which they called forth, are prominent in the literary history of the 17th century. He wrote, among other works, Origines de la langue français (1650), enlarged and published as Dictionnaire etymologique de la langue française (1694); Poemata Latina, Gallica, Græca et Italica (1658); and Anti-Baillet (1685). After his death his friends published, under the title of Menagiana, a collection of his witticisms and table talk. The best edition is that by La Monnoye (2 vols., 1693-'4). The second part of his Histoire de Sablé (1st part, 1686) was edited from the manuscript and published by J. B. Haureau in 1873.

BOTOSHAN, or Botushani, a city of Roumania, in Moldavia, on the Shiska, an affluent of the Pruth, 60 m. N. W. of Jassy; pop. in 1866, 28,117.

It has a considerable trade, especially in cattle, and is the seat of the most important fair in Moldavia.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Bots

Edition of 1879. See also Botfly on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
* Bot Fly.
BOTS, the larvæ of a species of gadfly, gasterophilus equi. The females deposit their eggs on the sides and legs of horses, where a glutinous fluid attaches the eggs to the hair. The horse in licking himself breaks the eggs, and a small worm adheres to the tongue, and is conveyed with the food into the stomach. There it clings firmly to the cuticular portion of the stomach by means of a hook on either side of its mouth, feeding on the mucus during the winter, and passing out with the chyme at the end of spring, by which time it has attained a considerable size. The larva buries itself in the ground, becomes a chrysalis, and in a few weeks is changed into a fly. The bots cannot, while they inhabit the stomach of the horse, give the animal any pain or cause any injury; for he enjoys the most perfect health while the cuticular part of his stomach is filled with them, and their presence is not suspected until they appear at the anus. They cannot be removed by medicine, because they are not in that part of the stomach to which medicine is usually conveyed; and if they were, their mouths are too deeply buried in the mucus for any medicine that can safely be administered to affect them; in due course of time they detach themselves and come away. When, after death, the coats of the stomach are found to be corroded and perforated, and when bots are found either in the perforations or already passed through them, other causes have destroyed the stomach. Horses are frequently injured, however, by the medicines which are ignorantly given to remove the bots. This will easily be understood, when it is stated that bots have lived for many days together in olive oil, and even in oil of turpentine, and that tobacco and nitrous and sulphuric acids do not immediately kill them.

Miss Lynch was educated in Albany. In 1841 she published in Providence the “Rhode Island Book,” a selection of prose and verse from the writers of that state. She soon after removed to New York, where her house became a resort of persons connected with literature and the arts. A collection of her poems was published in 1849, illustrated by eminent artists. Her principal prose work is a “Handbook of Universal Literature” (New York, 1860; 3d ed., 1873). She was married to Prof. Botta in 1855.

He was a descendant of Pierre Baudonin, a French Huguenot who fled to America on the revocation of the edict of Nantes. He graduated at Harvard college in 1745, became in 1753 representative in the general court, and was subsequently senator and councillor. During the troubles which preceded the revolution, he was forward in opposition to the royal governor. In 1775 he was president of the council of government; when the convention assembled in 1778, for the formation of a constitution, he was chosen president; and in 1785 he succeeded Hancock as governor. It was during his administration that the disturbances in the western counties of Massachusetts, known as Shays's rebellion, occurred. He called out 4,000 militia, and the speedy suppression of the insurrection was due to his vigorous course; yet he lost his election the next year. He was afterward a member of the convention for the adoption of the federal constitution. He was a friend and correspondent of Franklin, and one of the founders and first president of the academy of arts and sciences, to which he bequeathed his library.
