 790 EUSEBIUS EUTAW SPRINGS lie urged and obtained the deposition of Atha- nasius, and afterward procured his banishment to Gaul. On Sept. 14, 335, the bishops who had composed the council of Tyre assembled in Jerusalem for the dedication of a new church. Eusebius pronounced on the occasion his "Panegyric of Constantino," caused Arius to be admitted to the communion of the church, and wrote to the bishops of Christen- dom to inform them of these proceedings. Shortly after this the same prelates met in Constantinople under the leadership of Euse- bius, who had Marcellus, bishop of Ancyra, condemned for Sabellianism, and besought in vain Alexander, bishop of the imperial city, to receive Arius solemnly to his communion. After witnessing the tragic death of Arius on this occasion, Eusebius returned to Cassarea, and continued until his death with equal as- siduity the publication of his great works and his opposition to Athanasius. He has been justly called the father of ecclesiastical his- tory. Theological writers, both ancient and modern, are much divided with regard to his orthodoxy ; some, like the historians Sozomen and Socrates, defend him strenuously ; while others, with St. Jerome, Photius, and the sev- enth general council, condemn him as a her- etic. His principal works are : " A Defence of Origen," in six books, in the first five of which the bishop Pamphilus cooperated; " Evangelical Preparation," in 15 books, and the "Evangelical Demonstration," in 20; Chronicon, a conspectus of universal history down to the 20th year of Constantino ; " Ec- clesiastical History;" a " Life of Constan tine;" five books " On the Incarnation ;" " Commen- taries on Isaiah ;" Onomasticon, or a nomencla- ture of nations according to the Hebrew books ; 30 books " Against Porphyrius ;" " Topics ;" "Topography of Judea and the Temple;" "Commentaries on the Psalms;" "Concord- ance of the Four Gospels;" "Commentary on the First Epistle to the Corinthians ;" and " Treatise on the Fulfilment of Christ's Prophe- cies." His Chronicon was translated into Latin by St. Jerome, who continued it down to the sixth consulate of Valens and Valentin- ian ; and it was published by Scaliger (2 vols. fol., Amsterdam, 1658). The whole work was in a fragmentary state until the discovery in 1784 of an Armenian version, which was pub- lished by Mai and Zohrab in 1818, and ex- plained afterward by Niebuhr. His " Ecclesi- astical History " was continued by Sozomen, Socrates, and Theodoret, and translated by Rufinus into Latin, and brought down to 395 (Rome, 1474). The principal editions are those of Stephens (Paris, 1544), Valois (Paris, 1659), Reading (Cambridge, 1720), Heinichen (3 vols. 8vo, Leipsic, 1827), and Burton (Ox- ford, 1838; reprinted, with an introduction by W. Bright, Oxford, 1872). It has been trans- lated into French by Louis Cousin ; into Ger- man by Hedio (1545) and Stroth (1778) ; and into English by Hanmer (1577), Parker (1703), Cater (1736), Dalrymple (1778), and Cruse (re- printed in Bonn's "Ecclesiastical Library"). A Greek edition (with Latin translation) of the complete works of Eusebius is contained in Migne's Patrologia Qrceca (Paris, 1857-'6(5, vols. xix. to xxiv.). The best Latin edition of the works then extant is that of Paris, 1581. EUSTACHI, or Enstachio, Bartolommeo (Lat. EUSTACHIUS), an Italian anatomist, born prob- ably at San Severino, near Salerno, died in Rome in 1574. He was a contemporary of Vesalius, and shares with him the merit of lay- ing the foundation of the science of human anatomy. He extended the knowledge of the internal ear by giving a correct description of the tube between the throat and the ear, which has been called after him the Eustachian tube. He was also the pioneer in the accu- rate study of the anatomy of the teeth. His Tabula Anatomic, the text to which seems to have been lost, were first published in 1714 by Lancisi. Eustachi, who was professor of anatomy and physician to the cardinals Bor- romeo and Rovero, seems to have been so poor that he was unable to publish his works. Lauth remarks that if he had been able to publish them, anatomy would have attained the per- fection of the 18th century 200 years earlier at least. A new edition of the Tabula was published by Albinus with an excellent com- mentary (Leyden, 1743). A Dutch commen- tary by Bonn appeared in Amsterdam in 1798 ; and one in German by Kraus in the same city in 1800. EUSTIS, William, an American physician and politician, born in Cambridge, Mass., June 10, 1753, died in Boston, Feb. 6, 1825. He grad- uated at Harvard college in 1772, and subse- quently studied medicine. He entered the American army during the revolutionary con- test as a regimental surgeon, and served throughout the war in that capacity, or as hos- pital surgeon, being for some years stationed at the house opposite West Point in which Arnold had his headquarters. Upon the con- clusion of the war he practised in Boston. Between 1800 and 1805 he was a representa- tive in congress, and in 1809 he was appointed by President Madison secretary of war, a po- sition which he retained until the surrender of the American forces under Gen. Hull to the British in 1812, when he was compelled to re- sign. In 1814 he was appointed minister to Holland, and after his return served again in congress between 1820 and 1823. In the latter year he was elected governor of Massachusetts, and died while holding that office. EUTAW SPRINGS, a small affluent of the San- tee river, in South Carolina, about 50 m. N. W. of Charleston, near which was fought, Sept. 8, 1781, a battle between the Americans under Gen. Greene and the British under Col. Stuart. The American force was about 2,000, that of the British about 2,300. Four miles from Eutaw a reconnoitering detachment of British cavalry was put to flight after a severe
