He studied law at Altdnrf and Strassburg. and. in 1644, with .Johann Klaj, founded at Nuremberg a poetical society called the Pegnitzorden. He was a prolific writer, publishing about fifty volumes in German and Latin. His style is ornate and ar- tificial ; his material shows strong influence of Italian and Spanish literature. He made a strong effort to purify his native tongue. His works include: Frauenzimmergesprachspiele {sec- ond edition, 1642-49), a sort of encyclopsedia in dialogue of curious knowledge; Xathan, Jo- tliain, und Sirnson, a collection of fables and allegories; and Poetischer Trichter, die deutsche Dicht- und Reimkunst. ohne lirhuf dcr latein- ischen.

The name of a renowned King of India, known also as Harsha-vardhana, or Harsha-Siladitya. He reigned over Tlianeuar and Kansnj (a.d. 606- 648), and was monarch of all Northern India, as we know from the Chinese pilgrim Hiouen Thsang (q.v.). He was a noted patron of litera- ture, and is named as the author of three San- skrit dramas: the Ratnavall, or Pearl Necklace; the Prii/adarsil:a, or Lost Princess; and a play with a Buddhist plot, the yagananda, or Joy of Serpents. The question of his actual authorship has often been discussed. It was under his royal favor that B.ina wrote the historical romance Harsha-rarita. or Adventures of Hnrsha, trans- lated into English by Cowell and Thomas (Lon- don, 1897). There are Eiiglish, French, and Ger- man translations of the (hree dramas; Ratnavali, by Wilson (London, 1871) and Fritze (Chemnitz, 1878); PrigadariikS. by Strchly (Paris, 1888); yogananda, by Bovd (London, 1872) and Ber- gaigne (Paris, 1879).

(New Haven, 1901). HARS'NETT, Samuel (1561-1631). An English ecclesiastic. Archbishop of York. Born in the parish of Saint Bololph, Colchester, Essex, he was educated at Cambridge, and began hia career as a preacher in 1584, with a sermon at Saint Paul's Cross, London, directed so strongly against the doctrine of predestination that he!- was then and afterwards accused of leaning to- ward Popery. He was archdeacon at Essex from 161)2 until 1604, and the following year was made master of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, Bishop of Chichester (1009), and of Norwich (1619). He was undoubtedly an extreme high churchman, most arbitrary in his dealings with the subordi- nate clergy and Puritan laity, but when sum- moned to a])pear before the House of Lords and refute the charges of Romanism brought against him, his defense was so eminently satisfactory that he was made Archbishop of York (1628). He is the author of .1 Discovery of the Fraudu- lent Practices of John Darrell (1599), and Decla- ration of Egreqious Popish Impostures, etc. (1603). HART (AS. heart, heorot, OHG. hiriiz, hirz,. Ger.
