An English jurist, born in Lunduu, and educated at Winchester and Cam- bridge. He was called to the bar in 1827, and was Queen's Counsel eigliteen years later. He entered Parliament for Oxford in 1847, and be- came a power in Church matters, and, though not a polished speaker, was highly respected for his knowledge and conscientiousness. From being a judge and a baronet he rose to be a peer of the realm and Lord Chancellor of Great Britain (1808), but retired in 1872. His personal be- nevolence influenced his Parliamentary career, and his piety is apparent in his published works, such as Truth and Its Counterfeits (1857), and The Co-ntinuity of Scripture (1867). V HATHOB, hii'thOr. An Egyptian goddess. See Atiior. HATIFI, ha'te-fe, Abdallah (c.l460-lo21) . A Persian epic poet, nephew of Jami (q.v.), born at Khargird, in Herat. The last of the im- portant epic poets, he wrote in rhymed couplets five poems; Laila ira ilajnun, a story of unhappy love (edited by Jones, 17S8; and in lithograph, Lucknow, 1862) ; Haft llanzar, an imitation of Nizami's Haft Pailcar : Shirllm wa Ehusru, a tale of the love of a Hindu prince for a rajah's daughter, and remarkable as being based on con- temporary fact, and not on conventional legend ; T'imur Is amah, or Zafarnamah, celebrating the deeds of Timur or Tamerlane, the most important historical epic after the Huhnamah, of which a part was published by Jones ( 1788 ; lithographed at Lucknow, 180!) ) ; and an uncompleted story of the glories ot Shah Ismail. This pentad is one of the many imitations of Nizami's Khamsah. Hatifi is also the name of an earlier Persian poet, who wrote Qui u Chaugiin, a poem on the rela- tion of man to God under the figure of the ball and the racket — though afflicted and beaten, he must turn again to him who smote ; and again of a Turkisli poet of Amasia in Asia Minor, who wrote in the sixteenth century. HATTALA, ha'ta-la, M.rtin (1821-1903). A Czech philologist, born in tlie County of Ai'va, Hungary. He studied at Pressburg and Vienna ; became a priest in 1848, but soon devoted himself to linguistics ; was teacher in the Pressburg Gym- nasium (1850-54), instructor (1854), and later professor of Slavic philology in the University of Prague. His writings comprise studies in Czech and Slovack phonetics and sj-ntax. Especially to be noted is his defense of the authenticity of the mamiscripts of Kvalove-Dvor and Grtinberg, con- taining old epics and lyrics in Bohemian; also, De Contimiarum Vonsonantinm in Linrjnis Slari- cis Mutatione (1867) ; attacks on Schleicher and others; and, with A. Patera. Reliquice Metrica- rum Alexandreidon Palwohohemicarvyn (1881). He also wrote on the phonetics of Bohemian and Slovack (1854) : a comparative grammar of Bo- hemian and Slovack ( 1857 ) ; a Slovack grammar (1864); and Brns jazyka 6esk6ho, a work on style and diction (1877). HATTEEAICK, hat'ter-ak, Dirk. A smug- gler in Scott's Guy ilannering. HATTERAS, Cape. See Cape Hattebas. HATTE'RIA, or SmENODON. A genus of New Zealand "lizards,' described in more detail under Tuatab. (q.v.), which is the sole remaining representative of the group Prosauria, and is therefore of great interest as illustrating in its .structure a "primitive, almost ideally generalized type of reptiles." HATTI SHERIF, hiit'te sha-ref, or HATTI HXTMAYUNi, hoo'ma-yooii' (Turk., excellent writing, from Ar. khatt, script, line, from khatta, to trace, and sar'if, sublime, from iarafa, to sur- pass). The name given by the Turks to impor- tant rescripts ot the Sultan. The hatti sherifs are composed in the Turkish language, and writ- ten in the Arabian court-hand Divani. Above the text, as a token of the authenticity of the rescript, stands the intricate, flourish or mark of the Sultan, usually in black, but sometimes in red or gold. This flourish is called tugra. or rishani sherif. The hatti sherif is irrevocable, while the written decrees of the Sultan relative to matters not so important, called Irads, are arbitrary decisions or opinions of the ruler liable to be amended, and, in many instances, entirely abrogated. HATTO, hiit'to. Tlie name of two archbish- ops of ilainz. Hatto I. (c.850-913) became Ab- bot of Reichenau in 888, and Archbishop of !Mainz three years later. He possessed great in- fluence at the Court of the Emperor Arnulf, and after the death of the latter in 899 became the guardian of his infant son, Louis the Child. In the struggle between the German kings and the anarchic feudal nobility, Hatto was a zealous partisan of the monarchy, and brought to its aid a bold spirit, a crafty mind, and a conscience which balked neither at treachery nor murder. His haughty bearing and magnificent mode of life still further incensed the nobles, who hated him as the instrument of the royal power. The feel- ing with which he was regarded by the people as a whole is attested lv the widespread legend that his body, after death, was carried off by the devil and flung into the crater of Mount Etna. Of greater authenticity is the story related of his perfidious conduct toward Count Adalbert of Babenberg, a noble of Thuringia. who had been at enmity with the Emperor, and who was induced by Hatto to seek the King's presence for the purpose of efi'ecting a reconciliation, the Archbishop promising under oath to restore him imharmed to his castle. After the two had start- ed on their journey from Adalbert's home. Hatto found some pretext for returning with his un- suspecting companion to the castle, thus fulfill- ing the letter of his vow. Setting out once more, they arrived at the royal camp, where Adalbert was put to death. Hatto is also the hero of the well-known legend connected with the Mouse Tower, situated on an island in the Rhine, near Bingen. During a famine, as the story goes, the Archbishop caused a number of poor people to be burned in a barn, comparing their cries of agony to the squealing of mice. He was thenceforw-ard pursued by a plague of these animals, to escape which he built the tower on a rock in the Rhine. He could not, however, evade his persecutors, and was finally devoured by them. "This story, how- ever, is told with slisrht variations of several his- toric characters, and is qiiite as frequently asso- ciated with his namesake. Hatto II., who was Archbishop of Mainz from 968 to 970. Consult:
