The manner in which the Linga is represented is generally inotVensivc — the pistil of a llower, a pillar of stone, or other ereet and cylindrical objects, being held as appropriate symbols of the generative power of Siva, its counterpart is the yoni, or the symbol of female nature as fructified and productive. lilNGAH, lin-gli'.

He was born of huMil)h' ])arenlagc at Winchester, Febru- ary 5, 1771, ami, being destined for the priest- hood, w.is sent to the Knglish college of IJouay, iu France, where he remained until that college, in common with most of the religious establish- ments of France, was broken up by the disorders of the Revolution. On his return to England in 1793 he became tutor in the family of Lord Stourton. The act called the Catholic Relief Act having enabled Catholics to open schools in Eng- land, the Uouay cuinMuinily was transferred to Crookhall. and ultimately to Ushaw. near Dur- ham. In 1791 I.ingard rejoined his companions at Crookhall, where after entering the priesthood he continued as professor of philosophy, prefect of studies, and vice-])residcnt until 1811, when he accepted the humble cure of Hornby, near Lancaster, which he continued to fill until his death, July 17, 1851. Lingard's first important work was the Anlir/iiil;/ (if Ihr AiitiJo-Haxon Church (ISOU. reprinted in 1810, and afterwards in a much enlarged edition of two volumes, 1845). This was but the pioneer of what eventu- ally became the labor of bis life, his Tlhtory of Enqlnnd until JOSS, in eight quarto volumes (London, 1S19-.S0). Before his death it had passed through si.K editions, frequently revised, the last of which, in ten volumes, appeared in 1854-53. From its first appearance it attracted much attention, being founded on a careful study of the original sources. Although written in a conciliatory s])irit. it was criticised with considerable asperity in its polemical bearings; but the author in his replies displayed so nnich erudition and such careful consideration of the original authorities that the result was to add materially to his reputation as a scholar. He was the recipient of many honors in recognition of his services, among others of a pension of £300 from the Crown. There is a memoir of his life by Canon Tierney prefixed to the fith edition of the Uistorii of Enfilirnd. Consult: Gardiner and Mullinger.

A Dutch painter, born at Frankfort-on-the-Main. He went to Amsterdam in 1037, was in Paris in 1042. and having piirsued his studies in Rome from 1044 till ]i;52'. settled at Amsterdam. There his style was greatly influenced by Wynants. in whose landscapes he often sup])lied figures and animals, and by Wouverman. whom he success- fully imitated. He painted Italian .seapiuts. landscapes, hunts, fairs, and other genre scenes, in a cool and often delicate silvery tone, and ranks high for skill in composition, good draw- ing, and careful execution. His pictures are to be found in almost every gallery of Europe. One of his principal works is the "Plan of a New Town Hall" (1050), in the City Hiill at Amsterdam, noteworthy for the individual char- acter of the numerous figures and the fine effect of the fresh morning light. In Amsterdam JIu- seum are a rich "Italian Harbor" (1604). and a "Riding School." in which he rivals Wouverman. The "Italian Seaport" (1070), in the H.ague Museum, and a "Vegetable Market" (1070) and "Seaport" in the Louvre are remarkable for a warmth of coloring quite unusual in this painter. The Stadel Gallery in Frankfort contains a good portrait of him. LINGENTHAL, ling'cn-tal, Zacii.^bia. vox. See Zaciiaria von Lincenthal. LINGG, ling, Hermann von (1820—).
