" Coleccion de obras y documentos " published by De Angelis (Buenos Ayi-es, 1836). The same vol- ume contains a letter of Lozano to Father Juan de Alzola on the mysterious city of the CiBsars, writ- ten in 1746, which would seem to justify the charge of credulity that was made against the author by Spanish writers. Lozano also wrote a narrative' that gives a very vivid and interesting account of the death of the Jesuit Castailares, who was assassinated by the Mataguayos Indians on the banks of the Pilcomayo. "it is dated 1 May, 1747, and is published in the " Lettres edifiantes."

at once began practice as a homoeopathist in New York, where she continued to reside, and in the surgery requii'ed by the diseases of her own sex displayed peculiar skill, performing many capital operations in the removal of tumors. In 1860 she began a course of lectures on medical subjects in her own parlors, which in 1868 resulted in the founding of the New York medical college and hospital for women, where she was clinical professor of diseases of women and children, and also dean of the faculty, for more than twenty years. This institution was the first distinctively woman's medical college to be established in New York state. Dr. Lozier took an active interest in all that pertains to the elevation of her sex, for thirteen years was presi- dent of the New York city woman suffrage so- ciety, and for four years of the National woman suffrage society. She also held office in other philanthropic and reform associations, and was an occasional contributor to medical journals. — Her daughter-in-law, Charlotte Irene, physician, b. in Milburn, N. J., 15 March, 1844; d*. in New York city, 3 Jan., 1870, was the daughter of Jacob S. Denman, and was graduated' in 1867 at the New York medical college and hospital for women. In 1868 she was called to fill the ciiair of physiol- ogy and hygiene in that institution, which relation she held until her death. Dr. Lozier took an ac- tive part in the struggle to secure for female stu- dents the privilege of attending the clinics of Bellevue hospital, leading them herself to the wards and operating-rooms. She was an able lec- turer, an original investigator in anatomy and physiology, a skilful practitioner, and an energetic worker in all movements for the elevation of her sex. In 1866 she married Dr. Abraham W. Lozier, son of Dr. Clemence S. Lozier.
LUACES, Joaquin Lorenzo (loo-ah'-thes),
Cuban author, b. in Havana, 21 Julv, 1826; d.
there. 17 Nov., 1867. After finishing his education
in Havana he devoted his time exclusively to
literary pursuits, and published a volume of
poems (Havana, 1857) which won for him a wide
recognition and placed him at once among the best
lyrical poets in the Spanish language. In 1865
his historical drama, " El mendigo rojo," was per-
formed in Havana with great success. In the
following year he published his classical tragedy
" Aristodemo," which was favorably received.
Among the other productions of Luaces are his
comedies " Los dos amigos," " El becerro de oro,"
and " El fantasmon de Caravaca," and his drama
"Arturo de Osberg."
LUARD, Richard George Amherst, British
soldier, b. in England in 1829. He was the eldest
son of Lieut.-Col. John Luard, a peninsular and
Waterloo officer ; and was educated at the Royal
military college, Sandhurst, from which he ob-
tained his commission in 1845, without purchase.
He served in India, the Crimea, and China, was
stationed* at Halifax, N. S.. 1873-'5, as assistant
military secretary to Sir William 0. G. Haly, and
became major-general, 1 Oct., 1877. He was ap-
pointed to the command of the militia of Canada,
with the rank of major-general, on 5 Aug., 1880.
His rigorous application of the discipline and regu-
lations of the regular army rendered him unpopu-
lar with some of the officers and men of that service.
LUBBOCK, Francis Richard, governor of
Texas, b. in Beaufort, S. C, 16 Oct.. 1815. He
was educated chiefly in Beaufort and Charleston,
S. C, engaged in mercantile pursuits, in 1834 re-
moved to New Orleans, and in 1836 to Texas. He
settled in 1837 in Houston, Tex., building the
third house in that place, was clerk of the Texas
house of representatives in 1838, then appointed
comptroller by President Houston, and while serv-
ing in this office was made adjutant of the force
for the protection of the frontier. He returned to
Houston in 1839, was comptroller again in 1841,
and clerk of Harris county in 1843-56. He was
chosen lieutenant-governor in 1857, and governor
in 1861, but declined a renomination in 1863, and
at the expiration of his term entered the Confeder-
ate army as lieutenant-colonel. He was appointed
on the staff of Jefferson Davis in 1864, with the
rank of colonel, was with Mr. Davis when he was
captured, and was confined in Fort Delaware till
December, 1865. He resumed business in Houston
in 1866, and removed in 1867 to Galveston, where
he served three terms as city treasurer. Mr. Lub-
bock was chosen state treasurer of Texas in 1878.
and was re-elected in 1882, 1884, and 1886. In this
office he has broken up the custom of speculating
with comptrollers warrants, and has thus im-
proved the financial standing of the state.
