e public archives and libraries at Paris. Returning to the United States in 1849, he made his residence in New York City, where he prosecuted his historical labors. He was engaged in this work until 1867, when he was appointed, by President Johnson (May 14), minister to Prussia, and accepted the office. In 1868 he was accredited to the North German Confederation, and in 1871 to the German Empire. In August, 1868, Mr. Bancroft received from the University of Bonn the honorary degree of Doctor Juris ; and in 1870 he celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the reception of his first degree at Gottingen.

After Pellat, I heard, at the Sorbonne, a part of the lecture of Geruzez Nicolas Eugene Geruzez, 1799-1865. He was, from 1833 to 1852, the substitute of Villemain in the c

Dr. Winfieldum Scott. --Before General Scott lost his last feather at Stone Bridge, the degree of Ll. D. was conferred upon him by Harvard University, Mass. The following is the form employed: "Winfieldum Scott, "Summum Imperatorem, Virum scientia rei militaris, virtute, auctoritate, feltcitate insignom, nec minus civilibus clarum laudibus, pacis et humanitatis, studiosissimum, quluniversam rempublicam tuetur, sustentat, unice amat, utriusque Juris, tum Naturse et Goutium, tum Civilis Doctorem, honoris causa, creavimus et renunciavimus, sumque omnibus juribus et honoribus ad hunc gradum pertinentibus donavimus."
