Excerpt from The New Universal Biographical Dictionary, and American Remembrancer of Departed Merit, Vol. 3 of 4 Haller, (Albert Van) an eminent physician, was born at Bern, on the 16th October 1708. From his infancy, he shewed a very great genius for literature of every kind, and according to the accounts which are given us, the progress of his studies at the earliest periods of life, was rapid, almost beyond belief. When other children were only beginning to read, he was studying Boyle and Moreri, and at nine years of age, he was able to translate Greek, and was beginning the study of the Hebrew. Not long after this, however, the course of his education was somewhat interrupted by the death of his father, an event which happened when he was in the 13th year of his age. After this, he was sent to the public school at Bern, where he exhibited many specimens of early and uncommon genius.

The good fenfe of the nation is charaeteri'fedt in his portraits, from which, you may fee that heliv ed'in an age when neither enthufiafm nor fervility was predominant. Yet with a pencil fo' firm, polfeffed bf a numerous and-excellent colleeiion of drawings, full of the theory, and profound in reflections on: his art, he drew nothing well below the head, and was void of imagination. H'is attitudes, draperies and back-grounds are infipid and unmeaning; fo ill did he apply to his own praéiice the fagacious rules andhints he'befiow ed on others. Though he wrotewith'fire and judg ment, his paintings owed little to either. No man dived deeper into the inexhaufiible fiores of Raphael, or was more fmitten with the native lufire of Vandyck. Yet though capable of tailing the elevationof the one, and the elegance of the other, he could never contrive to fee with their eyes, when he was to copy-nature him felf. One wonders that he could comment upon their works fo well, and imitate them fo little. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The New Universal Biographical Dictionary, and American Remembrancer of Departed Merit, Vol. 2 of 4 After several conferences about a war, he put him self at the head of the army, where all the other gene rals had orders to obey him. The earl took the com mand June 2otb 1702, and discerning that the states were made uneasy by the places, which the enemy held on their frontiers, he began with attacking and reducing them. Accordingly, in this single cam paign, he made himself master of the castles of Gra venbroeck and Waerts, the towns of Venlo, Kure mond and Stevenswaert, together with the citadel of Liege. These advantages were considerable, and acknowledged as such by the states; but they had like to have been of very short date, for the army sepa rating ih the neighbourhood of Liege, Nov. 8d, the earl was taken the next day in his passage by water, by a small party from the garrison of Gueldres; but it being towards night, and the earl insisting upon an old pass given to his brother, was suffered to proceed, and arrived at the Hague, when the army were in the utmost consternation, at the accident, which had be fallen him. Upon the close of this campaign, he was created Duke of Marlborough, with a pension of dollars per annum, to devolve forever on those enjoying the title of Duke of llvlarlborough.
