[214] Theodore King of Corsica (_circa_ 1686-1756) was a German adventurer, Theodor Baron von Neuhof. He aided the Corsicans against the Republic of Genoa in 1735 to 1736; was proclaimed and crowned King of Corsica in 1736; and was driven out by the Genoese in 1738. An attempt made to recapture his power in 1743 failed. Theodore withdrew to London, where his person was seized by his creditors, and he was kept in prison for debt for seven years.--T.

[216] Chateaubriand wrote the next day to Madame Récamier: "_Thursday_ 19 _September_ 1833. "All is changed. _They_ absolutely want me to go to the end of the journey, where _they_ dare not arrive without me. All my resistance was unavailing; I had to resign myself. So I am leaving. This will prolong my absence another month. I am going to send Hyacinthe to Paris; he will bring you a long letter and details. Nothing in my life ever cost me a greater pang than this last sacrifice, unless it be that attached to my resignation of Rome.--B. ] [217] Pietro Liberi (1605-1687), born and died at Padua, a religious and historical painter of the Venetian School.--T. [218] Jacopo Palma the Younger (_circa_ 1544-1628), a painter of the Venetian School, distinguished for the freshness of his colouring.--T. [219] Giacomo Tatti (1479-1570), known as Sansovino, a noted Florentine sculptor and architect, held by some to be second, as a sculptor, to Michael Angelo alone. Sansovino is the architect of the Mint, the Library of St. Mark and the Palazzo Cornaro in Venice.--T. [220] Francesco Sansovino (1521-1586), son of the above, is better known as a man of letters and grammarian than as an artist.--T. [221] "For there's no day so fair but its night follows after."--T. [222] Charles Patin (1633-1693) was a physician, like his father, but was distinguished especially for his antiquarian knowledge. He was sentenced to the galleys for distributing some copies of a lewd libel which he had been charged to suppress and fled from France. Eventually he settled in the Venetian States and, in 1677, was appointed Professor of Medicine at Padua. Charles Patin left several important numismatical works.--T. [223] Gui Patin (1601-1672), the famous doctor and wit, earned an extraordinary reputation by his caustic sallies and eccentric habits. He was the author of a treatise on the _Conservation de la santé_(1632) and of Letters published nearly fifty years after his death. A collection of his _bons mots_ was published, under the title of Patiniana, in 1703.--T.
