s and compilations, relating
chiefly to the history of the state. He is chiefly remembered however, for
his _Dictionary of Americanisms_ (1848), a pioneer work, which, although
later dialect changes have, of course, deprived it of completeness or final
authoritativeness, is still of value to students of language and remains
the chief contribution to the subject. He died in Providence on the 28th of
May 1886.

BARTLETT, PAUL WAYLAND (1865- ), American sculptor, was born in New Haven,
Connecticut, the son of Truman H. Bartlett, an art critic and sculptor.
When fifteen he began to study at Paris under Fremiet, modelling from
animals in the Jardin des Plantes. He won a medal at the Paris Salon of
1887. Among his principal works are: "The Bear Tamer," in the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, New York; the equestrian statue of Lafayette, in the Place
du Carrousel, Paris, presented to the French Republic by the school
children of America; the powerful and virile Columbus and Michelangelo, in
the Congressional Library, Washington, D.C.; the "Ghost Dancer," in the
Pennsylvania Academy, Philadelphia; the "Dying Lion"; the equestrian statue
of McClellan in Philadelphia; and a statue of Joseph Warren in Boston,
Massachusetts. His bronze patinas of reptiles, insects and fish are also
remarkable.

BARTOLI, DANIELLO (1608-1685), Italian Jesuit priest, was born at Ferrara
and entered the Society of Jesus in 1623. Debarred from the foreign mission

_The Learned Man_ as a counterblast to the widespread reading of romances,
and also a history of his order in 6 vols. (Rome, 1650-1673), which is
particularly informing with regard to the early work of the society in
Asia. He died at Rome.

A collected edition of his works, in 12 vols., was published by Marietti at
Turin, 1825-1856; another in 50 vols. at Florence in 1826.

BARTOLINI, LORENZO (1777-1850), Italian sculptor, was born in Vernio in
Tuscany. After acquiring great skill and reputation as a modeller in
alabaster, he went in 1797 to Paris, where he studied painting under
Desmarets, and afterwards sculpture under F. F. Lemot. The bas-relief
"Cleobis and Biton," with which he gained the second prize of the Academy
in 1803, at once established his fame as a sculptor and gained for him a
number of influential patrons. He executed many minor pieces fo
