Centennial exhibition, Philadelphia, in 1876. He returned to Boston in the spring of 1878. Among Mr. Gould's works are a number of portrait busts, including one of Emerson, now in Harvard university library; one of John A. Andrew, belonging to Mrs. Andrew; one of Seth Cheney, owned by John Cheney, of Connecticut; and one of the elder Booth. In statuary he has produced “Cleopatra,” “Timon of Athens,” “Ariel,” a portrait statue of “John Hancock,” which was exhibited at the centennial celebration of the battle of Lexington in 1875, and is now in Lexington town-hall. His portrait statue of John A. Andrew, a commission from the soldiers of the Grand army of the Republic, was placed beside the grave of that statesman in the Hingham cemetery, Massachusetts, in 1875. In 1878 Mr. Gould visited Boston, and exhibited “The Ghost in Hamlet,” a front view of a head in alto-rilievo. The two alti-rilievi representing “Steam” and “Electricity,” which flank the vestibule of the Boston “Herald” building, were among his latest works.
GOULD, Walter, artist, b. in Philadelphia in
1829; d. in Florence, Italy, 18 Jan., 1893. He
studied drawing and painting under Sully; became a
member of the Artists' fund society of Philadelphia
in 1846, working there and in Fredericksburg, Va.,
where he painted a large number of portraits,
nearly all of which were destroyed during the
civil war. He removed to Florence in 1849, spent
some months of study in Paris, and made occasional
sketching-tours in the east. His subjects are
generally oriental, and illustrate principally the habits
and customs of the Turks. In 1851 he visited
Asia Minor, lived with and painted portraits of
the imprisoned governor of Hungary, Kossuth, and
many other prominent men. He also visited
Constantinople, and painted pictures of many important
persons there. “An Eastern Story-Teller,” painted
for the collection of Matthew Baird, of Philadelphia,
is regarded as his most valuable work.
GOULDING, Thomas, clergyman, b. in Midway,
Ga., 14 March, 1786 ; d. in Columbus, Ga., 36 June,
1848. He was educated in Wolcott, Conn., and
studied law with Judge David Daggett in New
Haven, but determined to devote himself to the
ministry, and was the first licentiate of the Pres-
byterian eliurcli in Georgia that was born in the
state. Having been licensed in December, 1813,
he preached in White Bluff, and was ordained as
the regular pastor of the church there on 1 Jan.,
1816. In 1823 he removed to Lexington, Ogle-
thorpe CO. On the establishment of a theological
semuiary by the synod of South Carolina and
Georgia, he was appointed its only professor, and
taught a class in theology in connection with his
pastoral work. At the end of a year the seminary
was transferred to Columbia, S. C, and he was
professor of ecclesiastical history and church gov-
ernment until January, 1835, when he took charge
of the church at Columbus, Ga. He was many
years president of the board of trustees of Ogle-
thorpe university. — His son, Francis Robert,
author, b. in Midway, Ga., 28 Sept., 1810 ; d. in
Rosweli, Ga.. 23 Aug., 1881, was graduated at the
University of Georgia in 1830, and at the Presby-
terian theological seminary in Columbia, S. C, in
1833. His life was devoted to the ministry until
the failure of his health in 1865, when he applied
himself to literature. Before this he had published
"Little Josephine," a Sunday-school story (New
York, 1844) ; and " Robert and Harold, or the
Young Marooners on the Florida Coast," a story of
adventure for boys (Philadelphia, 1853). The
latter attained great popularity in the United
States and Great Britain, where it was reprinted
by six different publishers. An enlarged edition
was published in Georgia during the war and in
Pliiladeiphia in 1866. After retiring from the pul-
pit he published " Marooners' Island " (Philadel-
phia, 1868); "Frank Gordon" (1869); "Fishing
and Fishes " ; " Life Scenes from the Gospel His-
tory " ; and " Woodruff Stories " (1870).
GOULEY, John William Severin, physician,
b. in New Orleans, La., 11 March, 1833. His parents
were of French origin. He received a classical
education, and was graduated M. D. at the College
of physicians and surgeons in New York city in
1853. He then established himself in practice in
that city, and performed many difficult operations
in surgery, such as excising half of the lower jaw,
the entire radius, and the entire lower jaw. In
1856 he was professor of anatomy in the Vermont
medical college at Woodstock. In 1859 he became
attending physician to Bellevue hospital, New
York city. In 1861-'4 he was an assistant surgeon
in the U. S. army. In 1864-'6 he was demonsti'ator
of anatomy and instructor in histology and in
operative surgery in the medical department of the
University of New York, in 1866-'71 professor of
clinical surgery and genito-urinary diseases, and
in 1876 was reappointed. He has published various
papers, and a volume on " Diseases of the Urinary
Organs " (New York, 1873).
GOUPIL, Rene, French missionary, b. in An-
glers, France, in 1607; d. in Smith's Island, near
Westport, N. Y., 39 Sept., 1642. He was known
in his native town as "the good Rene." He stud-
ied to be a physician, but left the profession to be-
come a novice of the Society of Jesus. He was
forced by ill-health to leave the novitiate, and then
became a " donne " of the society — that is, one who
gives his whole services to religion, receiving only
a support. He went as a missionary to Canada,
and accompanied Father Jogues on his return
from Quebec to St. Mary's of the Hurons in Au-
gust, 1643. The flotilla of canoes, in one of which
they sailed, reached Three Rivers on 1 Aug.. and
had scarcely gone three leagues from that place
when it was riddled with bullets by Mohawks in
ambush. During the panic that ensued Father
Jogues and Rene could have escaped from the
Mohawks, who were wholly intent on securing
their Huron prisoners. They surrendered them-
selves, liowever, in order to be near the captives.
Goupil was cruelly beaten by his captors, and
dragged from village to village for seven days,
witnessing the deaths, one by one, of the Huron
Christians. He was engaged in constant prayer
during the whole agony, and in the middle of his
torments instructed tlie young Indians to make
the sign of the cross and to pray. This infuriated
the savages still further, and finally, while in the
act of teaching an Indian girl to make the sign of
the cross, near the village of Andagoron, he was
killed by a young Mohawk. Miracles are said to
have attested his sanctity, and his name occurs in
the list of martyrs recommended for canonization
by the plenary council of Baltimore held in 1884.
GOURGUES, Dominique Chevalier de, French soldier, b. in Mont-de-Marsan, France, in 1530; d. in Tours, France, in 1593. He served in the Italian wars under Maréchal de Strozzi, was captured by Spaniards in 1557, and then by the
Turks, and served several years in the galleys. After his return to France he made a voyage to Brazil and the West Indies, and then entered the service of Duke de Guise, the elder, and was employed against the Huguenots. The massacre by Pedro Menendez de Avilles of the French colonists
