THE LEARNED BLACKSMITH.

Burritt was q shoemaker's son with
a common school education. At Is. his
father having died. he was appren-
ticed to blacksmith. After his ap-
prenticeship. was ended he studied
Latin, French and mathematics with
his brother. the principal of a small
boarding school.
We are told that his health was too
poor to permit him to teach. SO he re-
turned to the forge. which Is rather
luzzling. Burritt watched castings in
his furnace with a Greek grammer In
his hand. For q time he had q notion
Of going to sea and using his wages
to. buy Oriental books at the first port.
This was when the study OF Hebrew
bad begun to fascinate him.
He gave over the idea In favor OF
more blacksmithing at Worcester.
Mass. The antiquarian library there
aided his passion for language study.
and he translated all the Icelandic
sagas dealing with the discovery of
America.
Burritt became an editor and lee
turer. opposing slavery and advocat-
Ing temperance and self-culture. which
he SO strangely exemplihed. He was
an early and passionate pacifist. He
chanced to be in Ireland at the time
OF the great famine of 1876 and wrote
a, remarkable description of the suf-
ferings Of the people. He died in 1873.
