scope, no less than the whole history of England based on See also:original documents. But though excelling as a See also:collector of materials, and as a laborious, conscientious and accurate transcriber, he had little See also:power of generalization or construction, and died without See also:publishing anything except an uninteresting See also:tract, The See also:Primitive Practice for Preserving Truth (1645), and some speeches. His See also:Journals of all the Parliaments during the Reign of See also:Queen Elizabeth, however, a valuable work, was published in 1682. His large collections, including transcripts from See also:ancient records, many of the originals of which are now dispersed or destroyed, are in the Harleian collection in the See also:British Museum. His unprinted Diaries from 1621-1624 and from 1643-1647, the latter valuable for the notes of proceedings in parliament, are often the only authority for incidents and speeches during that See also:period, and are amusing from the glimpses the diarist affords of his own See also:character, his See also:good estimation of himself and his little jealousies; some are in a See also:cipher and some in Latin.
Extracts from his Autobiography and See also:Correspondence from the See also:MSS. in the British Museum were published by J. O.

He took part in the earlier battles of the Boer War of 1899 in See also:Natal as a commandant and later, as a general, he went to serve under See also:Cronje in the See also:west. His first successful See also:action was the surprise of Sanna's See also:Post near See also:Bloemfontein, which was followed by the victory of Reddersburg a little later. Thenceforward he came to be regarded more and more as the most formidable See also:leader of the Boers in their See also:guerrilla warfare. Sometimes severely handled by the British, sometimes escaping only by the narrowest margin of safety from the columns which attempted to surround him, and falling upon and annihilating isolated British posts, De Wet continued to the end of the war his successful career, striking heavily where he could do so and skilfully evading every See also:attempt to bring him to See also:bay. He took an active part in the See also:peace negotiations of 1902, and at the conclusion of the war he visited Europe with the other Boer generals. While in England the generals sought, unavailingly, a modification of the terms of peace concluded at See also:Pretoria. De Wet wrote an See also:account of his See also:campaigns, an English version of which appeared in See also:November 1902 under the title Three Years' War. In November, 1907 he was, elected a member of the first parliament of the

MARTIN LEBERECHT (1780-1849), See also:German theologian, was born on the 12th of See also:January 178o, at Ulla, near See also:Weimar, where his See also:father was pastor. He was sent to the gymnasium at Weimar, then at the height of its See also:literary See also:glory. Here he was much influenced by intercourse with Johann Gottfried See also:Herder, who frequently examined at _ the school. In 1799 he entered on his theological studies at See also:Jena, his See also:principal teachers being J. J. See also:Griesbach and H. E. G. See also:Paulus, from the latter of whom he derived his tendency to free See also:critical inquiry.
Both in methods and in results, however, he occupied an almost solitary position among German theologians. Having taken his See also:doctor's degree, he became privat-docent at Jena; in 1807 See also:professor of See also:theology at See also:Heidelberg, where he came under the See also:influence of J. F. See also:Fries (1773-1843) ; and in 1810 was transferred to a similar See also:chair in the newly founded university of See also:Berlin, where he enjoyed the friendship of See also:Schleiermacher. He was, however, dismissed from Berlin in 1819 on account of his having written a See also:letter of See also:consolation to the See also:mother of Karl See also:Ludwig See also:Sand, the murderer of See also:Kotzebue. A See also:petition in his favour presented by the See also:senate of the university was unsuccessful, and a See also:decree was issued not only depriving him of the chair, but banishing him from the Prussian See also:kingdom. He retired for a time to Weimar, where he occupied his leisure in the preparation of his edition of See also:Luther, and in See also:writing the See also:romance Theodor See also:oder See also:die Weihe See also:des Zweiflers (Berlin, 1822), in which he describes the See also:education of an evangelical pastor. During this period he made his first See also:essay in See also:preaching, and proved himself to be possessed of very popular gifts. But in 182.2 he accepted the chair of theology in the university of See also:Basel, which had been reorganized four years before. Though his See also:appointment had been strongly opposed by the orthodox party, De Wette soon won for himself great influence both in the university and among the See also:people generally. He was admitted a See also:citizen, and became See also:rector of the university, which owed to him much of its recovered strength, particularly in the theological See also:faculty. He died on the 16th of June 1849•
De Wette has been described by See also:Julius See also:Wellhausen as " the See also:epoch-making opener of the See also:historical See also:criticism of the See also:Pentateuch." He prepared the way-for the Supplement-theory. But he also made valuable contributions to other branches of theology. He had, moreover, considerable poetic faculty, and wrote a See also:drama in' three acts, entitled Die Entsagung (Berlin, 1823). He had an intelligent See also:interest in See also:art, and studied ecclesiastical See also:music and See also:architecture. As a Biblical critic he is sometimes classed with the destructive school, but, as See also:Otto See also:Pfleiderer says (Development of Theology, p. 102), he " occupied as free a position as the Rationalists with regard to the literal authority of the •creeds of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church, but that he sought to give their due value to the religious feelings, which the Rationalists had not done, and, with a more unfettered mind towards history, to maintain the connexion of the See also:present life of the church with the past." His See also:works are marked by exegetical skill, unusual power of condensation and See also:uniform fairness. Accordingly they possess value which is little affected by the progress of criticism.
The most important of his works are:—Beitrage zur Einleitung in das Alte Testament (2 vols., 1806-1807) ; Kommentar fiber die Psalmen (1811), which has passed through several See also:editions, and is still regarded as of high authority; Lehrbuch der hebrdisch jiidischen Archaologie (1814); Ober See also:Religion find Theologie (1815); a work of great importance as showing its author's general theological position ; Lehrbuch der christlichen Dogmatik (1813–1816); Lehrbuch der historisch-kritischen Einleitung in die Bibel (1817); Christliche Sittenlehre (1819–1821); Einleitung in das Neue Testament (1826); Religion, ihr Wesen, ihre Erscheinungsform, and ihr Einfluss auf das Leben (1827); Das Wesen des christlichen Glaubens (1846); and Kurzgefasstes exegetisches Handbu,ch zum Neuen Testament (1836-1848). De Wette also edited Luther's works (5 vols., 1825–1828).
