Mace suddenly in Boston. from an attack Of
PARALYSIS. The Boston Herald has the follow
ing sketch of his life:
Mr.. Prescott was born in Salem, in 1896. and

priycl him Of the sight of one Of his eyes. The
other soon became SO much weakened by the
increased labor thrown upon il that he was
obliged To give up his professional studies. he
visited Europe to obtain the aid of celebrated
orculi>t>, and partially recovered the use OF h'>
single eve. Ii was then that he resolved l."

srcn; ten wears in preparing himself. His FIRST

pcarcd in 1855, and was published ,imultane-
ouSly in Boston and London.
This work was received with unhesitating
a~ppla,i>e on both sides of the Atlantic, and

and Spanish. His next work. the conquest
Of Mexico was published in 1913. and this
was followed. in 1871. by his Conquest OF Pc.
ru." These works were received with h6nor>
even more brilliant than the first. and the his
torian WAS elected Il member al the French IN
s,ltute, having previously been admitted to sew
eral of the distinguished academies OF Europe.
Mr.. Prescott subsequently published 4 volume
Of his mi>cellanics. consisting OF reviews, e.
saws. &c. The frs, two volumes u his Ills.
