an," in the _Bombay Gazetteer_ (1896), vol. i. part ii.; Vincent A. Smith, _Early Hist. of India_ (Oxford, 1908), pp. 382 ff. CHALYBAUS, HEINRICH MORITZ (1796-1862), German philosopher, was born at Pfaffroda in Saxony. For some years he taught at Dresden, and won a high reputation by his lectures on the history of philosophy in Germany. In 1839 he became professor in Kiel University, where, with the exception of one brief interval, when he was expelled with several colleagues because of his German sympathies, he remained till his death. His first published work, _Historische Entwickelung der spekulativen Philosophic von Kant bis Hegel_ (1837, 5th ed. 1860), which still ranks among the best expositions of modern German thought, has been twice translated into English, by A. Tulk (London, 1854), and by A. Edersheim (Edinburgh, 1854). His chief works are _Entwurf eines Systems der Wissenschaftslehre_ (Kiel, 1846) and _System der spekulativen Ethik_ (2 vols., 1850). He opposed both the extreme realism of Herbart and what he regarded as the one-sided idealism of Hegel, and endeavoured to find a mean between them, to discover the ideal or formal principle which unfolds itself in the real or material world presented to it. His _Wissenschaftslehre_, accordingly, divides itself into (1) _Principlehre_, or theory of the one principle; (2) _Vermittelungslehre_, or theory of the means by which this principle realizes itself; and (3) _Teleologie_. The most noticeable point is the position assigned by Chalybaus to the "World Ether," which is defined as the infinite in time and space, and which, he thinks, must be posited as necessarily coexisting with the Infinite Spirit or God. The fundamental principle of the _System der Ethik_ is carried out with great strength of thought, and with an unusually complete command of ethical material. See J.E. Erdmann, _Grundriss der Gesch. d. Philos._ ii. 781-786; K. Prantl, in _Allgem. deutsch. Biog._ CHALYBITE, a mineral species consisting of iron carbonate (FeCO3) and forming an important ore of iron. It was early known as spathose iron, spathic iron or steel ore. F.S. Beudant in 1832 gave the name siderose (from [Greek: sideros], iron), which was modified by W. Haidinger in 1845 to siderite. Chalybite (from [Greek: chalyps], [Greek: chalybos], Lat. _chalybs_, steel) is of slightly later date, having been given by E.F. Glocker in 1847. The name siderite is in common use, bu
