A noted French scholar and printer, ]ierhaps the illegiti- mate son of Francis 1. lie was born at Or- leans, studied in Paris, Padua, and Venice, where he wrote Latin love songs. Keturning to France in 1,530, he studied law at Toulouse, but. becom- ing involved in controversy with the authorities, was imprisoned and finally banished. In 15.35 he had a controversy with Erasmus, publishing On the Imitation of'Ciccro (Dialogus de Imitatioue Ciceroniana ) , and in 153G issued two folio Com- vieiilttriis on the Latin Lanpuoge (Commcntato- riuni LinguiP Latina;) . He then secured from King Francis a general leave to print his own writings for ton years, and began vigorous work at Lyons endeavoring to placate the clergy by his Christian Cttto (Cato Christianus), but irritating them as much perhaps by his Latin Sew Testament as by his French Jiabelnis. He was imjirisoned for fif- teen months, released on the pleading of Ducha- tel, the Bishop of Tulle, again arrested, freed by his own daring ingenuity, again arrested, taken to Paris, and on August ."?, 1540. was branded, tortured, strangled, and burned as an atheist. It was said that he repented in his last moments, but there is no sufficient proof to substantiate this assertion. He was for some time looked upon as a Huguenot martyr, but there is no foundation for reganling him as a Huguenot at all. and Calvin accuses him of atheism. The minutes of Dolet's trial were printed by Tallandier in 1830 from the registers of the Parlement of Paris. Consilt : Poul- mier. Eliiitr.i sur le X'f(me siecle.

A genus of plants of the order Loguminostr, closely allied to Phaseolus (see Kidxev-I!e.v. ) , from which it is distinguished by tlic extension of the base of the standard so as to embrace the wings of the corolhi at their base. The genus includes a considerable number of spe- cies, some shrubby, some aimual, and some per- ennial herb.accous plants. Some have beautiful flowers, and some of the herbaceous species arc cultivated on account of their seeds, which allord a kind of bean: or of their young pods, which, like those of the kidney-bean, arc boiled for the table. The more important s|)ecies are Dolichos lablab, a native of India and Egypt; Dolichos lubia, a native of Egypt : Doliclios scsquipcdalis, a native of America: Dolichos soya or Soja his- pida (the soy bean), and Dolichos billora (horse gram), natives in India: Dolichos sph^rrosper- mus (ealavana. or dark-eyed pea), a native of the West Indies, In the climate of Great Britain, even the most hardy kinds reqviiro the aid of a little artificial heat," and they are reck- oned inferior to other kinds of beans or garden vegetables of easier cultivation. The well-known Ctiincse sauce or ketchup called Soy is made from the soy bean. Allied to Dolichos is the genus Canavalia, to which belong the sword beans of India. Canavalia cnsiformis. the com- monly cultivated species, has pods two feet long. . othcr allied genus is Psophocarpus. The seeds of Dolichos tetragonolobus are used in the Mau- ritius as beans are in America: and its pods and tuberous roots are common Indian esculents. Some species of Pachyrhizus. also an allied genus, are remarkable for their tuberous roots, as Pachyihizus angulatus, a native of India, now cultivated in South America and other warm countries for its pleasant, turnip-like tubers; and Phaseolus trilobus. which has tubers two feet long and nearly cylindrical, much used as a boiled vegetable in China and Cochin-China.

DOLL (probably from Doll, abbreviation of Dorothii). A figure representing a baby, which has always been a favorite toy for girls. Dolls have been used from the earliest times an(J among all nations, barbarous as well as civilized, because such tastes and desires spring from that love of nursing and fondling infants implanted by nature in the female character. The mnnufae- ture of dolls is and has always been an industry carried on in the niral districts of Continental Europe, chiefiy by (he peasants in their homes.
