 and ‘Determinationes XI.’ To these Sbaralea adds a ‘Collatio’ and ‘Postilla de Sacramento Eucharistiæ.’

A confusion between Goddam and ‘Adam Anglicus,’ who wrote against the doctrine of the immaculate conception, has been discussed in the latter article, supra. Another identification with ‘Adam Hibernicus’ proposed by Ware lacks evidence or probability.

The name ‘Goddam’ is that offered by the printed edition of his commentary on the ‘Sentences,’ but it is a manifest ‘classical’ adaptation of Wodeham or Woodham, derived from one of the five places of that name in England. Pits's suggestion that the Wodeham in question is in Hampshire rests evidently upon a mistake.



GODDARD, GEORGE BOUVERIE (1832–1886), animal painter, was born at Salisbury, 25 Dec. 1832. At ten his drawings were in demand as the productions of youthful genius, yet he received no artistic training, and it was in the face of much opposition that he adopted art as a profession. He came to London in 1849, and spent upwards of two years in making studies of animal life in the Zoological Gardens. During this time he supported himself mainly by drawing on wood sporting subjects for ‘Punch’ and other illustrated periodicals. He then returned to Salisbury, where he received many commissions, but finding his sphere of work too limited, he settled in London in 1857. He began to exhibit at the Royal Academy in 1856, sending a painting of ‘Hunters.’ To this and other works succeeded ‘The Casuals’ in 1866; ‘Home to die: an afternoon fox with the Cotswolds,’ in 1868; ‘The Tournament,’ his first work of note, in 1870; and ‘Sale of New Forest Ponies at Lyndhurst’ in 1872. In 1875 he exhibited a large picture, fourteen feet long, representing ‘Lord Wolverton's Bloodhounds,’ which was highly praised in Whyte-Melville's ‘Riding Recollections.’ This was followed in 1876 by ‘Colt-hunting in the New Forest;’ in 1877 by ‘The Fall of Man,’ from Milton's ‘Paradise Lost,’ and in 1879 by ‘The Struggle for Existence,’ now in the Walker Fine Art Gallery in Liverpool. In 1881 he sent to the Royal Academy ‘Rescued’; in 1883 ‘Love and War: in the Abbotsbury Swannery,’ and in 1885 ‘Cowed!’ Goddard was a lover of all field sports, and at home equally in the covert and the hunting-field. He died at his residence at Brook Green, Hammersmith, London, on 6 March 1886, after a very short illness, from a chill caught during a visit to his dying father, whom he survived only by a few hours.



GODDARD, JOHN (fl. 1645–1671), engraver, one of the earliest English engravers, is known for a few portraits and book illustrations of no great proficiency. He engraved a portrait of Martin Billingsley, the writing master, in 1651, Dr. Bastwick, and one of Dr. Alexander Ross, chaplain to Charles I, in 1654, as frontispiece to Ross's continuation of Raleigh's ‘History of the World.’ He engraved the title-page to W. Austin's translation of Cicero's treatise, ‘Cato Major,’ published in 1671. For Fuller's ‘Pisgah-sight of Palestine,’ published in 1645, Goddard engraved the sheet of armorial bearings at the beginning, and some of the maps, including a ground plan of the Temple of Solomon. A few other plates by him are known, including a rare set of ‘The Seven Deadly Sins’ in the Print Room at the British Museum.



GODDARD, JONATHAN, M.D. (1617?–1675), Gresham professor of physic, son of Henry Goddard, shipbuilder, of Deptford, was born at Greenwich about 1617. In 1632, at the age of fifteen, he entered at Magdalen Hall, Oxford, where he remained three or four years, leaving without a degree. Anthony à Wood, who was at Merton College when Goddard was warden, says that on leaving Oxford he ‘went, as I presume, beyond the seas,’ which later biographers have changed into the definite statement that he studied medicine abroad. In 1638 he graduated M.B. at Cambridge (Christ's College), and in 1643 M.D. (Catharine Hall). In 1640 he had bound himself to observe the rules of the College of Physicians in his London practice, in 1643 he joined the college, and in 1646 was made a fellow. At that time he had lodgings in Wood Street, where Wilkins, Ent, Glisson, Wallis, and others used to meet to discuss the new philosophy. On his
