ing many successive years he saw a great deal
of hard service, and so constantly had he to contend, on his various
expeditions, with adverse gales and dangerous storms, that he was nicknamed
by the sailors, "Foul-weather Jack." It is to this that Lord Byron alludes
in his _Epistle to Augusta_:--

"A strange doom is thy father's son's, and past
Recalling as it lies beyond redress,
Reversed for him our grandsire's fate of yore,
He had no rest at sea, nor I on shore."

Among his other expeditions was that to Louisburg in 1760, where he was
sent in command of a squadron to destroy the fortifications. And in 1764 in
the "Dolphin" he went for a prolonged cruise in the South Seas. In 1768 he
published a _Narrative_ of some of his early adventures with Anson, which
was to some extent utilized by his grandson in _Don Juan_. In 1769 he was
appointed governor of Newfoundland. In 1775 he attained his flag rank, and
in 1778 became a vice-admiral. In the same year he was despatched with a
fleet to watch the movements of the Count d'Estaing, and in July 1779
fought an indecisive engagement with him off Grenada. He soon after
returned to England, retiring into private life, and died on the 10th of
April 1786.

BYSTROeM, JOHAN NIKLAS (1783-1848), Swedish sculptor, was born on the 18th
of December 1783 at Philipstad. At the age of twenty he went to Stockholm
and studied for three years under Sergel. In 1809 he gained the academy
prize, and in the following year visited Rome. He sent home a beautiful
work, "The Reclining Bacchante," in half life size, which raised him at
once to the first rank among Swedish sculptors. On his return to Stockholm
in 1816 he presented the crown prince with a colossal statue of himself,
and was entrusted with several important works. Although he was appointed
professor of sculpture at the academy, he soon returned to Italy, and with
the exception of the years from 1838 to 1844 continued to reside there. He
died at Rome in 1848. Among Bystroem's numerous productions the best are his
representations of the female form, such as "Hebe," "Pandora," "Juno
suckling Hercules," and the "Girl entering the Bath." His colossal statues
of the Swedish kings are also much admired.

BYTOWNITE, a rock-forming mineral belonging to the plagioclase (_q.v._)
series of the felspars. The name was originally given (1835) by T. Thomson,
to a greenish-white felspathic mineral found in a boulder near Bytown (now
