of the philological seminary. He died on the 9th of November 1863. Doderlein's most elaborate work as a philologist was marred by over-subtlety, and lacked method and clearness. He is best known by his _Lateinische Synonymen und Etymologien_ (1826-1838), and his _Homerisches Glossarium_ (1850-1858). To the same class belong his _Lateinische Wortbildung_ (1838), _Handbuch der lateinischen Synonymik_ (1839), and the _Handbuch der lateinischen Etymologie_ (1841), besides various works of a more elementary kind intended for the use of schools and gymnasia. Most of the works named have been translated into English. To critical philology Doderlein contributed valuable editions of Tacitus (_Opera_, 1847; _Germania_, with a German translation) and Horace (_Epistolae_, with a German translation, 1856-1858; _Satirae_, 1860). His _Reden und Aufsatze_ (Erlangen, 1843-1847) and _Offentliche Reden_ (1860) consist chiefly of academic addresses dealing with various subjects in paedagogy and philology. DODGE, THEODORE AYRAULT (1842-1909), American soldier and military writer, was born at Pittsfield, Massachusetts, on the 28th of May 1842. He received a military education in Germany and subsequently studied at Heidelberg and London University, returning to the United States in 1861. At the outbreak of the Civil War he at once enlisted in the federal army, and he soon rose to commissioned rank. He served in the Army of the Potomac until Gettysburg, where he lost a leg. Incapacitated for further active service, he continued to be employed in administrative posts to the end of the war, and for several years thereafter he served at army headquarters, becoming captain in 1866 and brevet lieutenant-colonel in 1867. He retired in 1870. His works include _The Campaign of Chancellorsville_ (1881), _A Bird's Eye View of our Civil War_ (1882, later edition 1897), a complete, accurate and remarkably concise account of the whole war, _Patroclus and Penelope, a Chat in the Saddle_ (1883), _Great Captains_ (1886), a series of lectures, _Riders of Many Lands_ (1893), and a series of large illustrated volumes entitled _A History of the Art of War_, being lives of "Great Captains," including _Alexander_ (2 vols., 1888), _Hannibal_ (2 vols., 1889), _Caesar_ (2 vols., 1892), _Gustavus Adolphus_ (2 vols., 1896) and _Napoleon_ (4 vols., 1904-1907). He died in France, at Versailles, on the 26th of October 1909. DODGSON, CHARLES LUTWIDGE ["LEWIS
