HEPBURN, James Curtis, missionary, b. in Milton. Northumberland co., Pa., in 1815. He was graduated at Princeton in 1833. and at the medical department of the University of Pennsyl- vania in 1836. After practising in Norristown, Pa., he married and went as a medical missionary to China. The ports not being opened, he spent a year at Singapore, prior to five years of labor at Amoy. He returned to the United States in 1845, and settled in New York city, but in 1859 aban- doned a large practice to go as missionary to Japan. Settling at Kanagawa, he has been engaged, with few interruptions, in daily dispensary work, as well as in translation of the Holy Scriptures, in philan- thropic and literary labors, and especially in lexi- cography. In the autumn of 1872 the mikado accepted from his hands a copy of the Bible — an event of profound significance, and so felt by the Japanese. He has published a " Japanese-English and English - Japanese Dictionary " in Roman, kata-kana Japanese, and Chinese characters (1867 : 2d ed., with grammar, 1872; 3d ed., 1886). The finished work includes the archaic words of the most ancient texts, besides the expanded vocabulary which the amazing progress of new Japan has necessitated. All other dictionaries of Japanese vocables, in other languages, are based on this American scholar's monument of industry, which he created from materials that were gathered by himself, or bv natives trained under his own eye.

In 1870 he was invited to fill the pulpit of the Church of the Messiah, New York city. Here he remained nearly two years, but in the autumn of 1872 delivered a farewell sermon, in which he declared himself a believer in the divinity of Christ, He then formed a new Independent congregation, the Church of the Dis- ciples, and continued for several years with his followers. Subsequently Mr. Hepworth minis- tered to different congregations in New Jersey. He has recently left the pulpit, and is now (1887) a journalist connected with the " New York Her- ald."

HERAULD, André, French scientist, b. in Dijon in 1662; d. in Versailles in 1724. The Paris academy of sciences having invited Louis XIV. to send a mission to Mexico in 1706, Huet proposed Herauld, who sailed from Brest on the frigate &ldquo;La Vaillante&rdquo; in May, 1706, landing in Mexico in July. He immediately began his explorations, and in two years collected 900 botanical and over 1,200 mineralogical specimens. Returning to France in 1709, his vessel was captured by the English, who confiscated his collections and took him to Plymouth as a prisoner. The Academy of Paris complained to the Royal institute of London, and Herauld obtained the restitution of his collections in 1719. He devoted the remainder of his life to arranging them, and left them by his will to the Academy of sciences, which afterward gave them in part to the Jardin des plantes and the Museum of natural history. Herauld published &ldquo;Flote de la Nouvelle Espagne&rdquo; (6 vols., with illustrations and charts, Paris, 1722); &ldquo;Les plantes médicinales de la Nouvelle Espagne&rdquo; (with illustrations, 1721); and &ldquo;Plan de mineralogie du royaume de la Nouvelle Espagne&rdquo; (1723).
