_William Oechsli_, born October 6, 1851, at Riesbach, was
destined by his family to the ministry; but he deserted
theology for history, and after exhaustive study at Heidelberg,
Berlin, and Paris, he was called in 1887 to the professorship
of Swiss history in the Zurich Polytechnical Institute.

=Pierrefleur=, P. de, Mémoires.
_The Memoirs of Pierre de Pierrefleur_, grand banneret of Orbe,
present an accurate picture of the progress of the Reformation.
Modestly and without recrimination, though himself an ardent
Catholic, he endeavours accurately to reproduce day by day
the scenes which pass before his eyes--truth without passion,
simplicity without grossness his chief object. Moderation
is the keynote of this recital from the lips of the pious
and honourable knight of Orbe. Unfortunately, the original
chronicle having been lost, we are obliged to content ourselves
with extracts.
