FAMOUS PERSONS WHO HAVE BORNE YOUR OWN FIRST NAME

George Jacques Danton and George washington
were two opponents. Of different types. OF the idea
OF freedom and liberty. Danton. born In 1853 and
guillOtined BY his one-time friend. Robesperre In
1884 did not live 70 the realization Of bis dreams
OF 4 republican France. But Washington. born In
17Se. who outlived Danton by five years died happy
in country once more at peace and sxempIifytns
the ideas OF integrity and moderation which no
himself possessed II so high degree.
Byron. the poet. who died lighting for Greek
freedom in 1924: Meredith. the novelist. who died
only a few months ago. AMI Bancroft the historian.
who was also Secretary OF the Navy and Minister
from the United States to Great Britain and to
Berlin. and who died in 1884, are three OF the
greatest authors OF the name. But those who bore
the pen names OF George sand and George Eliot
two OF the greatest women authors that ever lived
have fame great. and probably as lasting. as
any OF these three
George Frederick Watts. the painter ana nrst
husband Of Ellen Terry. and George Dewey OF
Spanish fame. two OF the most prominent
men OF the name who cannot be called either
rulers statesmen or authors.
The feminine form OF the name. Georgiae. was
in use in France and Germany many years before
a feminine form appeared IN England for until
the time OF James 1 only the masculine form was
used there. But the wife OF King James. Anne OF
Denmark. stood godmother for child whom
she named Georgia Anna. and thus the modern
feminine forms OF the name were svoived-Geor-
giana and Gcorgina-
Lady GeOrgiana Fullerton. who wrote lives OF
the saints and novels. and Mrs. GeOrgiana Craik.
who wrote novels only. both enjoyed much pOpu-
lar favor in the latter part OF the last century.
The other well known Georgiana. daughter of tho
FIRST Earl Spencer and wife OF the fifth Duke OF
Devonshire. is noted. not because she could wrifs
