Adolphc Gueroult, a French journalist, born at Radepont, Jan. 29, 1810, died in Paris, July 22, 1872. He was the son of a wealthy manufacturer, and early devoted himself to literary pursuits and to the advocacy of St. Simonism. He was the correspondent of the Journal des Debats in Spain and in Italy for many years. In 1842-'7 he was consul at Mazatlan, and in 1847-'8 at Jassy; and in 1852 he became sub-chief of the credit foncier. As a member of the corps legislatif (1863-'9) and as the editor-in-chief of the Opinion nationale, which he founded in 1859, he exerted great influence in behalf of the so-called imperialistic democracy, and as a strenuous opponent of ultra-montanism. With other deputies he was denounced in 18G9 by M. de Kerveguen for his alleged friendly attitude toward Prussia, but was vindicated by the assembly. Among his publications is Discours prononces au corps le-gislatif (Paris, 1869).

GUERRAZZ1, Francesco Domenico, an Italian author and politician, born in Leghorn in 1805, died in Rome, Sept. 23, 1873. He was educated as a lawyer, and at the age of 22 brought himself into notice by writing La battaglia di Benevento, a historical romance (Florence, 1828). Being an ardent republican, he took part in a conspiracy, and in 1831 was thrown into prison, where he wrote L'Assedio di Firenze and Isabella Or-sini (the latter translated into English by Luigi Monti, New York, 1859). Upon his discharge he removed to Florence, where he became a successful lawyer. Among his publications while there were Veronica Cybo, Serpicina, and I Nuovi Tartufi, and a drama, I Bianchi ed i Neri. He took a leading part in the revolution of 1848, and was imprisoned for a short time. He had no sooner recovered his liberty than he placed himself in relation with Mazzini, Gioberti, and other agitators, founded a republican journal at Florence, was chosen a deputy to the national assembly of Tuscany, and appointed minister of the interior in October, 1848. After the departure of the grand duke from his capital in February, 1849, Guerrazzi became a member, and in March the chief of the provisional government, which was overthrown in the following month.

He was arrested April 14, and removed in June to the state prison of Volterra, where he was detained till July, 1853, and wrote a defence of his political course, Apologia della vita politi-ca di F. D. Guerrazzi (Florence, 1851). After trial he was sentenced to perpetual banishment, and proceeded to Marseilles. Not being permitted to reside there, he went to Bastia in Corsica, where he wrote Beatrice Cenci (Pisa, 1854; English translations by Monti and Mrs. Watts Sherman, New York, 1858). His next place of residence was in Piedmont, where he published L'Asino, a satirical journal. As member of the parliament which assembled at Turin, and afterward of the Italian parliament, he belonged to the extreme left. He also published Pasquale Paoli (2 vols., Milan, 1865).
