It is also said by some authorities that his last words were, "There is but one book; bring me the Bible." These words it is represented were addressed to Lockhart who had asked him what book it was he wished to have read to him. SCOTT (Winfield, distinguished American general), 1786-1866. "_James, take good care of the horse._" As Frederick the Great's last completely conscious utterance was in reference to his favorite English greyhound, Scott's was in regard to his magnificent horse, the same noble animal that followed in his funeral procession a few days later. Turning to his servant, the old veteran's last words were: "James, take good care of the horse." In accordance with his expressed wish, he was buried at West Point on the first of June 1866, and his remains were accompanied to the grave by many of the most illustrious men of the land, including Gen. Grant and Admiral Farragut. _Appleton's Cyclopaedia of American Biography._ SERMENT (Mlle. de, called "The Philosopher," because of her rare attainments in literature and of her wide acquaintance with ethics). She died of cancer of the breast, and expired in finishing these lines which she addressed to Death: "_Nectare clausa suo, Dignum tantorum pretium tulit illa laborum._" SERVETUS (Michael. He calls himself _Serveto alias Reves_, adding his family name to his own, in the title of his earliest book. For twenty years of his life, during his residence in France, he was known only as _Michael de Villanovanus_, from the assumed name of his birthplace), 1509 or 1511-1553. "_Jesus, Son of the eternal God, have mercy on me!_" The sentence was drawn out at great length on the 26th of October. Servetus did not know it till the next day, Friday, two hours before the execution. On a rising ground near the lake, a little to the eastward of the city, he was chained to a stake, and, the oldest account (that in _Sandius_) says, for more than two hours, while stifling in the fumes of straw and brimstone, suffered the torture of a fire of "green oak fagots, with the leaves still on," the wind blowing the flame so that it would only scorch, not kill, till the crowd, in horror, heaped the fuel closer. His last cry was, "Jesus, Son of the eternal God, have mercy on me!" Farel's retort was, "Call rather on the Eternal Son of God!" "I know well," he had written not long before, "that for this thing I must die, but not for that does my heart fail me that I may be a disciple like the Master." _Joseph Henry Allen in the New World, Dec. 1892._ SETON (Elizabeth Ann, philanthropist, foundress and first Superior of the Sisters of Charity in the United States), 1774-1821. "_Soul of Christ, sanctify me; Body of Christ, save me; Blood of Christ, inebriate me; Water out of the side of Christ, strengthen me._" A few moments after she had spoken these words she murmured, "_Jesus, Mary, Joseph_," and expired.
