1582), (2) by
Antonio de Sancha (Madrid, 1782), both having the misleading titles,
apparently invented by Molina, of _Historia del gran Tamorlan_, and
_Vida y hazanas del gran Tamorlan_ (the latter at the beginning of the
text itself); a better sub-title is added, viz. _Itinerario y
enarracion del viage y relacion de la embaxada que Ruy Gonzalez de
Clavijo le hizo_. Both editors, and especially Sancha, supply general
explanatory dissertations. The Spanish text has also been published,
with a Russian translation, in vol. xxviii. (pp. 1-455) of the
_Publications of the Russian Imperial Academy of Sciences_ (_Section
of Russian Language_, &c.), edited by I.I. Sreznevski (1881). An
English version, by Sir Clements Markham, was issued by the Hakluyt
Society in 1859 (_Narrative of the Embassy of R ... G ... de Clavijo
to the Court of Timour_). The identification of a great number of the
places mentioned by Clavijo is a matter of considerable difficulty,
and has given rise to some discussion (see Khanikof's list in
_Geographical Magazine_ (1874), and Sreznevski's _Annotated Index_ in
the Russian edition of 1881). A short account ot Clavijo's life is
given by Alvarez y Baena in the _Hijos de Madrid_, vol. ix. See also

CLAVIJO Y FAJARDO, JOSE (1730-1806), Spanish publicist, was born at
Lanzarote (Canary Islands) in 1730. He settled in Madrid, became editor
of _El Pensador_, and by his campaign against the public performance of
_autos sacramentales_ secured their prohibition in 1765. In 1770 he was
appointed director of the royal theatres, a post which he resigned in
order to take up the editorship of the _Mercurio historico y politico de
Madrid_: at the time of his death in 1806 he was secretary to the
Cabinet of Natural History. He had in abundance the courage,
perseverance and gift of pungent expression which form the equipment of
the aggressive journalist, but his work would long since have been
forgotten were it not that it put an end to a peculiarly national form
of dramatic exposition, and that his love affair with one of
Beaumarchais' sisters suggested the theme of Goethe's first publication,
_Clavigo_.

CLAY, CASSIUS MARCELLUS (1810-1903), American politician, was born in
Madison county, Kentucky, on the 19th of October 1810. He was the son of
Green Clay (1757-1826), a Kentucky soldier of the war of 1812 and a
rel
