from the
remotest parts of the world, is gone. It is not exactly known what amount
of property Priessnitz left, but it is supposed to be nearly L100,000.
When it is considered how small, compared to that given to other
physicians, was the remuneration he received from his patients, and that
thirty years ago, Priessnitz was a poor peasant, this fortune gives some
measure of his immense success.

GEORGE DUNBAR, the distinguished Professor of Greek Literature in the
University of Edinburgh, died on the 6th of December, at his residence in
that city. The natural decay attending even an otherwise green old age has
been for some years aggravated by a virulent internal malady, which at the
commencement of the present season compelled him to relinquish his
academic duties. He was born at the village of Caldingham, in
Berwickshire, in 1774. In early life he labored as a gardener, but an
accidental lameness, which lasted throughout his subsequent life,
incapacitated him from active bodily employment. His attention was then
devoted to literature. He soon became a scholar, and in truth a ripe and

acquirements, a tutorship in the family of Lord Provost Fettes. Having
been shortly after selected as assistant to Professor Dalziel, he was
appointed, on that professor's death, to the Greek chair in the Edinburgh
University, in 1805. The duties of this responsible position he discharged
most zealously and ably. The published works of Professor Dunbar are well
known. The _Collectanea Minora_, the _Collectanea Majora_, and the _Greek
Grammar_, have all had great reputation. His chief production--massive in
every sense--the main object of his life of learned toil, was his Greek
Lexicon, which was given to the world with his name in 1840.

MR. HENRY LUTTRELL, one of the ornaments of a society of what may be
termed conversational wits, died on the 19th of December, at the advanced
age of eighty-six. He was the friend and companion, _hand impari passu_,
of Jeckyll, Mackintosh, Jeffrey, Alvanley, Sydney Smith, and others of
that brilliant school, and of which the Misses Berry, Rogers, Moore, and
but a few others, are still left. A correspondent of the _Times_ says: "He
charmed especially by the playfulness and elegance of his wit, the
appropriateness and felicity of illustration, the shrewdness of his
remarks, and the epigrammatic point of his conversation. Live
