of many who were little known to him but by their want of his assistance, his affability and tenderness towards all his dependants and domestics, and the support given to his elevated station by an hospitable and liberal establishment.'

EYSEL, or EYSELIUS (JOHN PHILIP), a physician and medical writer, was born at Erfurt in 1652, and first educated in the college of that place, and afterwards studied medicine both there and at Jena. He took his doctor's degree at Erfurt in 1680, and removing soon after into Westphalia, was made physician to the city of Bockem; but on the plague disappearing, which had broke out there, he returned in 1685 to Erfurt, and two years after was appointed professor extraordinary of medicine. In 1693 he was promoted to be professor in ordinary, and obtained at the same time a place in the faculty. * In 1694 he exchanged his professorship of pathology for that of anatomy and surgery, to which botany was afterwards united. In 1713 he was presented with the degree of master of arts, and in 1715 admitted a member of the academy of the "Curieux de la Nature." He died June 30, 1717, leaving the following works: 1." Enchyridion de formulis prescribendis, secundum methodum Gaspari Crameri," Erfurt, 1698, 8vo. 2. "Compendium Anatomicum," ibid. 1698, 8vo, 1710, 4to. 3. "Compendium Physiologicum," ibid. 1699, 8vo. 4. "Compendium Chirurgicum," ibid. 1714, 8vo. These, with his other works, theses, &c. were collected and published in fol. 1718, under the title of “ Opera Medica et Chirurgica. 2

EZEKIEL, a Jew, was a Greek poet, who wrote tragedies on subjects of the sacred history. Large fragments of a tragedy by him, on the departure of Israel from Egypt, have been preserved by Clemens of Alexandria, and Eusebius. Various opinions are held concerning the time in which he lived. Eusebius introduces a Demetrius as quoting him; and if that was (as an eminent writer of the present day supposes) Demetrius Phalereus, he must have lived near 300 years before the birth of our Saviour. Others bring him down to a century after that period. He must, at all events, have been prior to Clemens, who quotes him; and certain it is, that there are some remarkable expressions concerning the divine Logos in his fragments. 3
