pub. successively the Reminiscences (1881), History of the First Forty Years of Carlyle’s Life (1882), Letters and Memorials of Jane Welsh Carlyle (1883), History of Carlyle’s Life in London (1884).  The opinion is held by many that in the discharge of the duties entrusted to him by his old friend and master he showed neither discretion nor loyalty; and his indiscreet revelations and gross inaccuracies evoked a storm of controversy and protest.  F. did not confine his labours to purely literary effort.  In 1874-5 he travelled as a Government Commissioner in South Africa with the view of fostering a movement in favour of federating the various colonies there; in 1876 he served on the Scottish Univ.  Commission; in 1884-5 he visited Australia, and gave the fruit of his observations to the world in Oceana (1886), and in 1886-7 he was in the West Indies, and pub. The English in the West Indies (1888).  The year 1892 saw his appointment as Prof. of Modern History at Oxf., and his lectures there were pub. in his last books, Life and Letters of Erasmus (1894), English Seamen in the Sixteenth Century (1895), and The Council of Trent (1896).  F. was elected in 1869 Lord Rector of the Univ. of St. Andrews, and received the degree of LL.D. from Edinburgh in 1884.  By his instructions no Biography was to be written.

FULLER, SARAH MARGARET (1810-1850).—­Was b. in Massachusetts, dau. of a lawyer, who encouraged her in over-working herself in the acquisition of knowledge with life-long evil results to her health.  On his death she supported a large family of brothers and sisters by teaching.  Her early studies had made her familiar with the literature not only of England but of France, Spain, and Italy; she had become imbued with German philosophy and mysticism, and she co-operated with Theodore Parker in his revolt against the Puritan theology till then prevalent in New England, and became the conductor of the Transcendentalist organ, The Dial, from 1840-2.  She made various translations from the German, and pub. Summer on the Lakes (1844), and Papers on Literature and Art (1846).  In the same year she went to Europe, and at Rome met the Marquis Ossoli, an Italian patriot, whom she m. in 1847.  She and her husband were in the thick of the Revolution of 1848-9, and in the latter year she was in charge of a hospital at Rome.  After the suppression of the Revolution she escaped with her husband from Italy, and took ship for America.  The voyage proved most disastrous:  small-pox broke out on the vessel, and their infant child d., the ship was wrecked on Fire Island, near New York, and she and her husband were lost.  Destitute of personal attractions, she was possessed of a singular power of conciliating sympathy.  She was the intimate friend of Emerson, Hawthorn, Channing, and other eminent men.
