a scholar, or man of letters, of the 16th century. (M. P.)

A few minor changes have been made in the above article, compared with
its form in the 9th edition. The most complete account of Casaubon is
the full biography by Mark Pattison (1875), of which a second and
revised edition, by H. Nettleship, was published in 1892; the most
recent work on the subject is _Isaac Casaubon, sa vie et son temps_,
by L.J. Nazelle (1897); there is a monograph on the Fontainebleau
conference by J.A. Lalot (1889). Casaubon is the subject of one of St
Beuve's _Causeries_, the 30th of July 1860 (a notice of the Oxford
edition of the _Ephemerides_). See also the article in E. Haag's _La
France Protestante_ (1882), and J.E. Sandys, _Hist. of Class. Schol._
vol. ii. (ed. 1908), pp. 204 foll.

CASCADE MOUNTAINS, a continuation northward of the Sierra Nevada, some
500 m. across the states of Oregon and Washington, U.S.A., into British
Columbia. In American territory the range lies from 100 to 150 m. from
the coast. The Cascades are separated on the S. from the Sierras by deep
valleys near Mt. Shasta in California, while on the N., somewhat below
the international boundary of 49 deg. N., they approach the northern
Rockies, mingling with these in inextricable confusion, although their
name is given also to the much-broken, river-dissected, central mountain
plateau that crosses British Columbia from S.E. to N.W. Geologically the
Sierras and Cascades are very different, though their exact relations
are not yet clearly determined; topographically they are also different.
The Cascades are in general a comparatively low, broad mass surmounted
by a number of imposing peaks in Oregon and Washington. Especially north
of the Columbia river, the range widens out into a plateau. There are no
notable elevations in British Columbia. Evidences of volcanic activity
in comparatively recent geologic time are abundant throughout the length
of the range, and all the highest summits are volcanic cones, covered
with snow fields and, in a number of instances, with glaciers. The
grandest peaks are Shasta (14,380 ft.) at the southern end, and Rainier
(or Tacoma, 14,363 ft.) in Washington, two of the most magnificent
mountains
