FUL time before the Restoration he was reinstated in his Savoy lectureship, and also in his prebend at Salisbury; and soon after that event he was appointed chaplain extraordinary to the king, and created Doctor of divinity by mandamus, 2nd August, 1660. His elevation to a bishopric seemed certain, when his career was suddenly cut short by a fever, which terminated fatally, 15th August, 1661. He was buried in his church of Crauford, in the chancel of which his monument is still to be seen.

In his person Fuller was tall, with an upright and graceful carriage; he had light flaxen hair, inclined to curl; bright, blue, laughing eyes; a ruddy complexion, with a frank and open visage. He was a man of great originality, and his writings display a lively imagination and almost boundless faculty of illustration, great shrewdness and discrimination of thought, extensive learning, a love of truth and freedom from prejudice, together with a genial mirthful disposition, and a buoyant spirit. The principal attribute of his genius, however, as has been often noticed, is unquestionably wit, which is so exuberant as to colour every page of his writings. "Next to Shakspeare," says Coleridge, "I am not certain whether Thomas Fuller, beyond all other writers, does not excite in me the sense and the emotion of the marvellous; the degree in which any given faculty, or combination of faculties, is possessed and manifested, so far surpassing what one would have thought possible in a single mind, so as to give one's admiration the flavour and quality of wonder! Wit was the stuff and substance of Fuller's intellect. It was the element, the earthen base, the material which he worked in, and this very circumstance has defrauded him of his due praise for the practical wisdom of the thoughts, for the beauty and variety of the truths, into which he shaped the stuff." Fuller's wit was singularly many-sided, and displays itself in the strangest forms. It partook largely of his own happy temperament, and was thoroughly genial and innocent, as well as natural. Though occasionally caustic, he is rarely satirical, and never ill-natured or bitter. His mirth is frequently in excess, and sometimes unseasonable; but it is always consistent with a reverent spirit and a kind heart. His writings abound in sagacious remarks, which his brilliant fancy has illustrated by the most beautiful imagery, though the quaint form in which both his maxims and his metaphors are presented has not unfrequently deprived them of the admiration which is their due. It must be admitted, however, that his quaintest allusions and images, however odd, are never artificial, but are always the natural and spontaneous suggestions of his own mind. Though a man of extensive erudition, Fuller was entirely free from the pedantry which was the besetting sin of the learned men of his age; and his style is much more idiomatic, simple, and homely, and more free from Latinisms than most of the great writers who were his contemporaries. He was a very voluminous writer, yet he is never tedious; and as Coleridge remarks, in all his numerous volumes on so many different subjects, it is scarcely too much to say that there is scarcely a page in which some one sentence out of every three does not deserve to be quoted for itself—as motto or as maxim. Some extraordinary stories are told of his powers of memory, which, though probably exaggerated, yet leave no doubt that he must have possessed this faculty in rare perfection. His manners were simple and natural, and his conversation was exceedingly attractive. In a moral and religious aspect, both his writings and his character are worthy of the highest commendation. His conduct in all his domestic and social relations was most exemplary, and his whole life shows that his piety was genuine and habitual. Though a zealous churchman, he was candid and moderate, and entirely free from the bigotry and fierce partizanship displayed by too many of his contemporaries. In this point he is justly entitled to the commendation bestowed upon him by Coleridge, of being "incomparably the most sensible, the least prejudiced great man, of an age that boasted a galaxy of great men." The best known, and probably the best, of his writings are, his "Holy and Profane State," his "Good Thoughts in Bad Times," his "Good Thoughts in Worse Times," and his "Mixed Contemplations in Better Times." His historical works have really no claim to be ranked in this department of literature, and are rather materials for histories than histories themselves. Still they are both valuable and amusing, and reflect the social spirit of the age quite as successfully as the most elaborate and well-arranged narrative. Fuller was also the author of "Joseph's Particoloured Coat;" "Andronicus, or the Unfortunate Politician;" a "Comment on St. Matt. iv. 1-11, concerning Christ's Temptation;" a "Comment on Ruth;" "Ephemeris Parliamentaria;" the "Speech of Birds," and also of "Flowers," partly moral and partly mystical; a collection of sermons; and some other writings of less importance. His history of the "Worthies of England," folio, was not published till after his death.—(Life of Dr. Thomas Fuller, 12mo, London, 1661; Russell's Memorials of Thomas Fuller, D.D., 12mo, 1844; Life and Writings of Thomas Fuller, in the Essays of Henry Rogers, vol. i.)—J. T.  FULLER,, an eminent English physician, was born in 1654, and died in 1734. He studied at Queen's college, Cambridge, graduated in 1781, and subsequently settled at Sevenoaks in Kent. He deserves to be remembered on account of his benefactions to the poor, of whose rights he proved himself a zealous and warm-hearted assertor. He published "Introductio ad Prudentiam, or directions, counsels, and cautions, tending to prudent management of affairs of common life;" "Gnomologia, a Collection of Adages and Proverbs;" besides a number of works on professional subjects—R. M., A.  * FULLERTON,, an authoress of some prominence, was born on the 23d September, 1812, the second daughter of the first Earl Granville, many years English ambassador in Paris. Lady Georgiana married in July, 1833, Mr. Alexander George Fullerton of Alveston, Gloucestershire. Her ladyship made her avowed début in literature in 1844 by the publication of "Ellen Middleton," a novel of English domestic life, full of quiet power and pathos, and which made a great sensation in the fiction-reading world. This was followed in 1847 by "Grantley Manor" (which attained the honour of a second edition in 1854), and in 1852 by "Lady Bird," both of them novels. In the meantime Lady Georgiana had become a Roman catholic, an event of which there were abundant traces in the last of the two works just mentioned. The change received a more direct literary manifestation in 1855, when she contributed to the Catholic's Popular Library, a "Life of Saint Frances of Rome." Her ladyship's latest work is one of rather a singular kind, neither a biography nor a novel, but something between the two—imagination, aiding and supplementing the scanty indications of history. It pourtrays the life and times of the French countess de Bonneval, a fair notability of the early part of the eighteenth century, and whose character and conduct stand out in bright relief amid the vice and profligacy of the regency. The work appeared in 1857, originally in French, which Lady Georgiana writes like a native, and the following year she published it in London in a modified English translation of her own. The French original was preceded by an introduction from the pen of P. Douhaire, who informs us that "the authoress spent in Paris, in its highest social sphere, her grave and studious childhood," and that "those who had the honour of being acquainted with her in youth remember to have remarked even then the precocious maturity of her intellect, and that religious tendency, which, developed by reflection, experience of life, and the study of history, has ended in leading her to embrace Catholicism."—F. E.  FULLERTON,, an eminent Scotch lawyer and judge, was born in 1775; was admitted to practise as an advocate in 1798, and was appointed a lord of session in 1828. Lord Fullerton was the contemporary and intimate friend of Moncrieff, Jeffrey, Cockburn, Cranston, and other distinguished men who at this period adorned the Scottish bar; and his natural ability and extensive legal attainments enabled him to contend even with them on equal terms; he was reckoned one of the soundest and most learned lawyers of his day, and in the latter years of his practice was held second to none in his knowledge of feudal law. His logic was at once intelligent and acute, and he combined with rare felicity great firmness with great soundness of understanding. For many years Lord Fullerton held a seat in what is called the inner house of the court of session, along with President Boyle, and Lords Jeffrey and Mackenzie. "That was as good a court," says Lord Cockburn, "as Scotland ever saw, and these four men would have elevated any judicial tribunal in any country to the law of which they might have been trained." Lord Fullerton died, December 3, 1855, in his seventy-eighth year, only three weeks after his retirement from the bench.—J. T.  FULLO,, or , a monophysite bishop of the fifth century. Fullo was an intriguing dishonourable man. He procured accusations to be brought against
