Rh afterward devoted himself to literature until he again took charge of the National library. For some time he was one of the editors of '• El Con- stitueional." His great work is " Defensa de la Autoridad de los Gobiernos contra las pretensiones de la Curia Romana" (6 vols., Lima, 1848), the second part of which appeared under the title " Defensa de la Autoridad de los Obispos " (4 vols., 1856). He also published " Los Jesuitas " (4 vols.) ; " Cartas a Pio IX. con Documentos," " Roma, 6 el Principado Politico del Romano Pontifice," " Dia- logos sobre la Existeneia de Dios," " Defensa de Bossuet y de Fenelon," " Catecismo Patriotico," and numerous political and social pamphlets, in- cluding " Paz perpetua en America."

GOOCH, Frank Austin, chemist, b. in Water- town, Mass., 2 May, 1852. He was graduated at Harvard in 1872, and was an assistant under Prof. Josiah P. Cooke in the chemical laboratory until 1875. Subsequently he was associated in the ana- lytical work performed in Newport, R. L, under the autliority of the U. S. geological survey, re- ceiving in 1877 the degree of Ph. D. from Harvard for his original researches. In 1879 he was ap- pointed special agent to the tenth U. S. census, and was detailed as an expert to make analyses of coals and iron ores. His report on these sub- jects appears in one of the volumes of the census. Prom ISSI till 1884 Dr. Gooch was chief chemist of the northern transcontinental survey, and from 1884 till 1886 assistant chemist to the U. S. geo- logical survey in Washington. In 1886 he was ap- pointed professor of chemistry in Yale, and has undertaken the reorganization of that department, which, owing to the development of the Sheffield scientific school, had for some time been neglected. The Kent chemical laboratory at Yale, the con- struction of which was to have been begun in 1887. was planned by him. Dr. Gooch is a member of scientific societies, and his contributions to chemi- cal literature, though few in number, have been of great value. They consist principally of descrip- tions of improved methods of analysis, and of new forms of apparatus, including the " Gooch filter," which is now extensively used.

GOOCH, Sir William, bart., governor of Virginia, b. in Yarmouth, England, 21 Oct., 1681 ; d. in London, 17 Dec, 1751. He served with distinction under Marlborough in the low countries, and rendered important services in the rebellion of 1715. In 1727 he succeeded Sir Hugh Drysdale as governor of Virginia, in which office he continued until 1747. In 1740 Gov. Gooch joined Admiral Vernon in his expedition against Cartagena, New Grenada (See Eslaba, Sebastian), was severely wounded, and contracted the fever from which many of the English squadron died. He returned to Virginia, and in 1746 was appointed brigadier- general in the army raised to invade Canada, but declined to serve. The same year he was created a baronet and appointed major-general. In 1749, after twenty years' service as governor of Virginia, he returned to England " amid the blessings and tears of his people, among whom he had lived as a wise and beneficent father." In April, 1745, Gov. Gooch made an address opposing all religious or- ganizations except the established church, and pro- posing punishments for other bodies that should convene in public for religious purposes.

GOODALE, Elaine, poet, b. in Mount Wash- ington, Berkshire co., Mass., 9 Oct., 1863. Her life has been closely associated with that of her sister, Dora Read, "b. in Mount Washington, 29 Oct., 1866. The sisters were brought up on their fa- ther's farm. Elaine learned to read very early, and began to make verses almost as soon as she began to write. Her sister also composed verses at the age of six. In a short time both were en- thusiastic students, and were educated chiefly by their mother. After a time the children estab- lished a monthly paper for the entertainment of the family, Elaine being the editor and copying into it their various compositions. A selection of these appeared in " St. Nicholas " for December, 1877. Elaine became a teacher in the Hampton, Va., institute, and editor of the Indian department of the " Southern Workman " in 1883. In 1885 she made a six weeks' tour of observation on the Great Sioux reservation, and recorded her impres- sions in a series of papers printed in New York and Boston journals. In 1886 she was appointed teacher at Lower Brule agency, Dakota, and in 1891 she married Dr. C. A. Eastman, a Sioux. She has published " Journal of a Farmer's Daughter " (New York, 1881), and the joint publications of the two sisters consist of the following collections of their poetry : " Apple Blossoms : Verses of Two Chil- dren," selected from the work of the preceding six years (New York, 1878) ; " In Berkshire with the Wild Flowers" (1879); and "Verses from Sky Farm." an enlarged edition of the preceding (1880).

GOODALE, George Lincoln, botanist, b. in Saco, Me., 3 Aug., 1839. He was graduated at Amherst in 1860. and received his medical degree at Harvard and Bowdoin in 1863. For three years he practised in Portland and was instructor of anatomy in the Portland school for medical in- struction, becoming also in 1864 state assayer of Maine. In 1867 he was called to the chair of natural science and applied chemistry in Bow- doin, and in 1868 was made professor of materia medica in the medical school of Maine, and also a member of the board of agriculture. He re- signed these offices in 1872, and became instructor in botany and university lecturer on vegetable physiology in Harvard. In 1873 he was made as- sistant professor of vegetable physiology, in 1878 professor of botany, and in 1879 director of the botanic garden. Dr. Goodale was elected a mem- ber of the council of Harvard college library in 1875, and in 1881 a member of the faculty of the Museum of comparative anatomy. He is a mem- ber of the American academy of arts and sciences and of other scientific societies. Besides various me- moirs on botanical subjects, Dr. Goodale has pub- lished " Wild Flov/ers of North America " (Boston, 1882); "Vegetable Physiology" (New York, 1885); and " Vegetable Histology " (1885). The last two with other matter have been combined under the title of " Physiological Botany," to form the 2d volume of Gray's " Botanical Text-Book " (1885).

GOODALE, Nathan, loyalist, b. in Salem, Mass., in 1741: d. in Newton, Mass., in 1806. He was graduated at Harvard in 1759, and was one of the loyalists that signed the address approving Gov. Hutchinson's course in 1774, but recanted. He also signed a similar address to Gen. Gage. Early in 1775 he retired to Nantucket, and after the organization of the Federal government he was clerk of the U. S. courts in Massachusetts.

GOODALL, Albert Gallatin, bank-note engraver, b. in Montgomery, Ala., 31 Oct., 1826 : d. in New York city, 19 Feb., 1887. His mother, having been left a widow in straitened circumstances, removed with her family to the Creek reservation in Alabama, and engaged in farming, but was driven out with the other settlers in 1836 by the Indians. She then emigrated to Galveston, Tex., and died the year following. When fifteen years of age, young Goodall entered the Texan navy as
