l;ndIsy Murray.

Lindley Murray, the celebrated gram
marian, was born in Swatara, Pa, in
the year HAS. In l765. after passing
four years in legal studies, he was ad-
mitted to the bar and soon afterwartl
married. When the Revolution began
he retired to a cottage on Long Island,
New York, and spent four years in fish
ing, boating and fowling. Going to
New York In 1879, he entered into COM
mercial speculations under the direc-
ton of his father with such success
that at the close Of the Revolution he
was able to retire with q fortune to a
beautiful place on the Hudson. Being
attacked, however, with q muscular af-
lection, he was induced to search an
other climate and sailed for England,
where he settled near the city Of York
and died there in 1896. His English
Grammar" was written for the use Of
q young ladies' school near York in

and extraordinary. Edition after edi-
ton was published in q few years. It
was introduced into all the English
and American schools aud made his
name household word in every coun-
try where the English language was
spoken. His later years were devoted
to the study Of botany, and his garden

Of its plants surpassed the royal gar
