statesman, the friend of Cavour and of Glad
stone, died at Genoa on the LIST of August. He
was torn in 1922 at Russi, in the Roman States
and studied medicine at Bologna, subsequently,

Marseilles, Florence and Turin He returned on
the accession of Plus TX, and became Clinical
Professor at Osimo. He became Deputy Tor
,Valenza in 1S4S, and was appointed Director
General of Health and of the Prisons by Count
ROssi. He was compelled to leave his country
again in lS49-this time on account of
his moderate opinions, which were adverse
eany, and returned to Rome on the
French occupation OF the city; but the then
ruling Cardinals objected to him, and third
time he left the Roman States. On the outbreak
of the Italian war of 1859, Farini, who had
played an important part in the negotiations
with Napoleon III, was appointed Dictator of
Modena, and on his resignation, after few
months, and his reelection by Parma and
Modena, he brought about the annexation of
Modena to Sardinia. In 1860 he was appointed
by Count Cavour Commissioner Extraordinary
to Naples. Farini is us well known for history
of the Roman States and his letters to Lord
Russell and Mr.. Gladstone as for his journalistic
ability. Cavour had great faith in Farini, and
when dying spoke OF HIM as the ablest man he
LEFT behind. But Earini's health suddenly broke
dewn, and when, latter Ratazzi's fall be sue
ceeded to power, ne was Prime Minister onlv in
name For wears back he was indeed mere
wreck. Italy OF late allow I'd him a pension-a
small one, indeed, but as much as his friends
would accept for him. FRTini held many great
oihCes-he was once a Dictator once a Prime
Minister, more than once a Governor of a
province, and he died poor.
