STUART 
 
 
   CHARLEs EDWARD, the "Young Pre- 
 tender," was son of the "Old Pretender." 
 After the defeat of his adherents at Cullo- 
 den he fled to France, was banished from 
 that kingdom, and died at Rome (1720- 
 1788). 
   HmRY BFNEDicT, Cardinal York, the last 
 of the race, was a pensioner of George III. 
 
   Stuart of Italy (The Mary), Jane I. of 
 Naples (1327, 1343-1382). 
   Jane married her cousin, Andr6 of Hun- 
 gary, who was assassinated two years after 
 his marriage, when the widow married the 
 assassin. So Mary Stuart married her 
 cousin, Lord Darnley, 1565, who was mur- 
 dered, 1567, and the widow married Both- 
 well, the assassin. 
   Jane fled to Provence, 1347, and was 
 strangled in 1382. So Mary Stuart fled to 
 England in 1568, and was put to death, 
 1587 (Old Style). 
 Jane, like Mary, was remarkable for her 
 great beauty, her brilliant court, her vo- 
 luptuousness, and the men of genius she 
 drew around her; and, like Mary, she 
 was also noted for her deplorable adminis- 
 tration.

 Jeanne de Naples (1765). Schiller made an 
 adaptation of it (1821).

 was born, 1688, the very year that his

   James Stuart, the famous architect, died, 
 1788. 
   (Some affirm that Robert II., the first 
 Stuart king, died 1388, the year of the 
 great battle of Otterbum; but the death 
 of this king is more usually fixed in the 
 spring of 1390.) 
 
   Stuart (Jack), frank, brave, unintel- 
 lectual lover of Constance Varley, and one 
 of the travelling-party in the Holy Land. 
 Through a fatal combination of misunder- 
 standings, the man she has loved for years 
 leaves her without uttering the words that 
 burned upon his tongue, and the lonely- 
 hearted girl turns for comfort to the as- 
 sured, patient affection of the honest fel- 
 low who makes no secret of his devotion. 
 Constance Varley marries Jack Stuart.-

 Wife (1780).

 bors. - Sir W. Scott, Waverley (time,

 Stuffy (Matthew), an applicant to Ve- 
 linspeck, a country manager, for a situa- 
 tion as prompter, for which he says he is 
peculiarly qualified by that affection of the
