Abstract
ONE hundred and one years ago, on October 29, 1799, Domenico Cirillo, the Neapolitan Linnæus, was hanged on the market-place of Naples, together with some of the noblest among Italian men of letters and science. It is especially fitting to remember Cirillo in England, the country which he visited and where he had many friends, and for the literature and science of which he showed a special predilection—a country which unfortunately had such a fatal influence upon his destiny.
