696 Centennial exhibition, Philadelphia, in 1876. He returned to Boston in the spring of 1878. Among Mr. Gould's works are a number of portrait busts, including one of Emerson, now in Harvard university library; one of John A. Andrew, belonging to Mrs. Andrew; one of Seth Cheney, owned by John Cheney, of Connecticut; and one of the elder Booth. In statuary he has produced &ldquo;Cleopatra,&rdquo; &ldquo;Timon of Athens,&rdquo; &ldquo;Ariel,&rdquo; a portrait statue of &ldquo;John Hancock,&rdquo; which was exhibited at the centennial celebration of the battle of Lexington in 1875, and is now in Lexington town-hall. His portrait statue of John A. Andrew, a commission from the soldiers of the Grand army of the Republic, was placed beside the grave of that statesman in the Hingham cemetery, Massachusetts, in 1875. In 1878 Mr. Gould visited Boston, and exhibited &ldquo;The Ghost in Hamlet,&rdquo; a front view of a head in alto-rilievo. The two alti-rilievi representing &ldquo;Steam&rdquo; and &ldquo;Electricity,&rdquo; which flank the vestibule of the Boston &ldquo;Herald&rdquo; building, were among his latest works.

GOULD, Walter, artist, b. in Philadelphia in 1829; d. in Florence, Italy, 18 Jan., 1893. He studied drawing and painting under Sully; became a member of the Artists' fund society of Philadelphia in 1846, working there and in Fredericksburg, Va., where he painted a large number of portraits, nearly all of which were destroyed during the civil war. He removed to Florence in 1849, spent some months of study in Paris, and made occasional sketching-tours in the east. His subjects are generally oriental, and illustrate principally the habits and customs of the Turks. In 1851 he visited Asia Minor, lived with and painted portraits of the imprisoned governor of Hungary, Kossuth, and many other prominent men. He also visited Constantinople, and painted pictures of many important persons there. &ldquo;An Eastern Story-Teller,&rdquo; painted for the collection of Matthew Baird, of Philadelphia, is regarded as his most valuable work.

GOULDING, Thomas, clergyman, b. in Midway, Ga., 14 March, 1786 ; d. in Columbus, Ga., 36 June, 1848. He was educated in Wolcott, Conn., and studied law with Judge David Daggett in New Haven, but determined to devote himself to the ministry, and was the first licentiate of the Pres- byterian eliurcli in Georgia that was born in the state. Having been licensed in December, 1813, he preached in White Bluff, and was ordained as the regular pastor of the church there on 1 Jan., 1816. In 1823 he removed to Lexington, Ogle- thorpe CO. On the establishment of a theological semuiary by the synod of South Carolina and Georgia, he was appointed its only professor, and taught a class in theology in connection with his pastoral work. At the end of a year the seminary was transferred to Columbia, S. C, and he was professor of ecclesiastical history and church gov- ernment until January, 1835, when he took charge of the church at Columbus, Ga. He was many years president of the board of trustees of Ogle- thorpe university. — His son, Francis Robert, author, b. in Midway, Ga., 28 Sept., 1810 ; d. in Rosweli, Ga.. 23 Aug., 1881, was graduated at the University of Georgia in 1830, and at the Presby- terian theological seminary in Columbia, S. C, in 1833. His life was devoted to the ministry until the failure of his health in 1865, when he applied himself to literature. Before this he had published "Little Josephine," a Sunday-school story (New York, 1844) ; and " Robert and Harold, or the Young Marooners on the Florida Coast," a story of adventure for boys (Philadelphia, 1853). The latter attained great popularity in the United States and Great Britain, where it was reprinted by six different publishers. An enlarged edition was published in Georgia during the war and in Pliiladeiphia in 1866. After retiring from the pul- pit he published " Marooners' Island " (Philadel- phia, 1868); "Frank Gordon" (1869); "Fishing and Fishes " ; " Life Scenes from the Gospel His- tory " ; and " Woodruff Stories " (1870).

GOULEY, John William Severin, physician, b. in New Orleans, La., 11 March, 1833. His parents were of French origin. He received a classical education, and was graduated M. D. at the College of physicians and surgeons in New York city in 1853. He then established himself in practice in that city, and performed many difficult operations in surgery, such as excising half of the lower jaw, the entire radius, and the entire lower jaw. In 1856 he was professor of anatomy in the Vermont medical college at Woodstock. In 1859 he became attending physician to Bellevue hospital, New York city. In 1861-'4 he was an assistant surgeon in the U. S. army. In 1864-'6 he was demonsti'ator of anatomy and instructor in histology and in operative surgery in the medical department of the University of New York, in 1866-'71 professor of clinical surgery and genito-urinary diseases, and in 1876 was reappointed. He has published various papers, and a volume on " Diseases of the Urinary Organs " (New York, 1873).

GOUPIL, Rene, French missionary, b. in An- glers, France, in 1607; d. in Smith's Island, near Westport, N. Y., 39 Sept., 1642. He was known in his native town as "the good Rene." He stud- ied to be a physician, but left the profession to be- come a novice of the Society of Jesus. He was forced by ill-health to leave the novitiate, and then became a " donne " of the society — that is, one who gives his whole services to religion, receiving only a support. He went as a missionary to Canada, and accompanied Father Jogues on his return from Quebec to St. Mary's of the Hurons in Au- gust, 1643. The flotilla of canoes, in one of which they sailed, reached Three Rivers on 1 Aug.. and had scarcely gone three leagues from that place when it was riddled with bullets by Mohawks in ambush. During the panic that ensued Father Jogues and Rene could have escaped from the Mohawks, who were wholly intent on securing their Huron prisoners. They surrendered them- selves, liowever, in order to be near the captives. Goupil was cruelly beaten by his captors, and dragged from village to village for seven days, witnessing the deaths, one by one, of the Huron Christians. He was engaged in constant prayer during the whole agony, and in the middle of his torments instructed tlie young Indians to make the sign of the cross and to pray. This infuriated the savages still further, and finally, while in the act of teaching an Indian girl to make the sign of the cross, near the village of Andagoron, he was killed by a young Mohawk. Miracles are said to have attested his sanctity, and his name occurs in the list of martyrs recommended for canonization by the plenary council of Baltimore held in 1884.

GOURGUES, Dominique Chevalier de, French soldier, b. in Mont-de-Marsan, France, in 1530; d. in Tours, France, in 1593. He served in the Italian wars under Maréchal de Strozzi, was captured by Spaniards in 1557, and then by the Turks, and served several years in the galleys. After his return to France he made a voyage to Brazil and the West Indies, and then entered the service of Duke de Guise, the elder, and was employed against the Huguenots.
