Edward THE ELDER, king of England, succeeded his father, Alfred the Great, 901. His succe ion was disputed by his cousin, Ethelwald the Atheling, who obtained the help of the Danes. The conflict ended with the death of Ethelwald in battle, in 905. But Edward still carried on the war with the Danes; Mercia, Nor thumb ria, and East Anglia were subdued by him; and he extended his dominions by conquests in Scotland and Wales. D. 925. EDWARD THE MARTYR, Son of Edgar, B. 962, crowned 975. He was murdered by order of his stepmother Elfrida, at Corfe Castle, after a reign of 3 years. EDWARD THE CONFESSOR, son of Ethelred, succeeded Hard i can ute in 1041. Having been reared in Normandy, he brought over many of the natives of that country, whom he preferred at his court, which gave great disgust to his Saxon subjects. Notwithstanding this, he kept po e ion of his throne, and framed a code which is supposed to be the origin of the common law of England. He abolished the tax of Danegelt, was the first who pretended to cure the king's evil by touch, and restored Malcolm to the throne of Scotland, which had been usurped by Macbeth. He consulted William of Normandy about the choice of a succe or, and this afterwards furnished that prince with a plea for invading the kingdom after the death of Edward, in 1066, EDWARD I. ( Norman line ), surnamed LONG SHANKS. B. 1239, succeeded his father, Henry III., in 1272. At the time of his father's death he was in Palestine, fighting against the Saracens for the recovery of Jerusalem, and when he returned, completed the conquest of Wales and subdued Scotland. To preserve Wales, he caused his son, who was born in Caernarvon, to be called the "Prince of Wales," which, ever since, has continued to be the title of the eldest son of the king of England. In endeavoring to break the spirit of the Scotch, he was un succe ful, the patriotism of Wallace and his followers completely baffling his attempts at the entire subjuga first English gold coin was struck.

EDWARD IV., son of Richard, Duke of York, succeeded Henry VI. in 1461. E. came to the throne in the midst of the fierce struggle between the Yorkists and Lan- castrians, in which he greatly distinguished himself by his courage and military skill. He won a great victory over the Lancastrians at North amp ton, in July, 1460, and a second at Mortimer's Cro , in February, 1461; after which he marched on London, and was proclaimed. A few weeks after his acce ion he defeated them a third time at Towton, in Yorkshire. The war continued with varying fortunes till 1464. In the same year he married Lady Elizabeth Grey, which so disgusted the earl of Warwick, commonly called the king-maker, that he joined the Lancastrian party, and the civil war was re- commenced. Warwick defeated Edward's forces near Banbury in 1469. Soon afterwards Warwick fled to France, from whence he returned with a supply of troops, and proclaimed Henry. E. escaped beyond sea, and Warwick released Henry from the Tower, and set him on the throne; but E. returned with succors, and marched to London, where he took Henry prisoner. He shortly after won the battle of Barnet, in which War- wick fell. Another victory at Tewksbury secured to him the quiet po e ion of the throne. Preparations were made for war with France, and an expedition sent, which was, however, fruitle . War broke out also with Scotland, but nothing of importance occurred. In 1478 Edward had his brother, the duke of Clarence, con- demned and put to death as a traitor. Clarence had married Isabel, daughter of the earl of Warwick, and had taken part with him against the king. D. 1483, aged 41. EDWARD V., son of the preceding, whom he succeeded at the age of 12 years, was smothered, with his brother, in the Tower, by order of their uncle and guardian, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, 1488. EDWARD VI., the only son of Henry VIII., by his queen, Jane Seymour, 1537. He succeeded his father in 1547, but by reason of his tender age and early death, had little to do with the important measures that mark his reign. His uncle, the earl of Hertford, was named pro- tector, and created duke of Somerset; but in 1549 his place was taken by Dudley, earl of Warwick, created duke of North umber land; and Somerset, two years la- ter, was charged with treason and felony, and beheaded, Both of these, however, carried on the work of the ref or- mation. Somerset made an expedition into Scotland, and gained the victory of Mu el burgh, or Pinkie, in 1547; Warwick defeated the insurgents under Ket, the Nor- folk tanner, in 1549; a very severe law was pa ed against vagabonds, but had to be soon repealed. The Act of Six Articles was repealed, and the use of the Book of Common Prayer established. The great aim of North umber land was to secure the succe ion to the throne of England for his family. With this view, he married his son, Lord Guilford Dudley, to Lady Jane Grey (q. v.), and obtained from the weak and dying E. a document settling the succe ion on Jane Grey, to the exclusion of Mary and Elizabeth. D. 1552. EDWARD, PRINCE OF WALES, surnamed the BLACK PRINCE from the color of his armor, was the eldest son of Ed- ward III., and was B. in 1330. In 1345 he accompanied his father in his expedition to France, and displayed un- usual heroism at the battle of Crecy. In 1356 he gained Fig . 911. - тоMB OF THE BLACK PRINCE AT CANTERBURY. the battle of Poitiers, and brought the French king and his son prisoners to England. He died before his father, in 1376, leaving two sons, the elder of whom, Richard, was the succe or of Edward III. Ed'wards, JONATHAN, a celebrated American theolo- gian and metaphysician, B. at Windsor, Conn., 1703. In 1722 he became a preacher at New York to a Presbyte- rian congregation, and in 1724 was chosen tutor of Yale College. In 1726 he resigned that station, and became a istant to his grandfather, who was a minister at North- ampton. Here he continued till 1750, when he was dis- mi ed for refusing to administer the sacrament to those who could not give proofs of their being converted. The year following he went as mi ionary among the In- dians, and in 1757 was chosen president of the college of New Jersey, where he died in 1758. He wrote a Trea- tise concerning Religious Affections ; the Life of David Brainerd, the Mi ionary: an Inquiry into that Modern prevailing Notion of that Freedom of Will which is sup- posed to be e ential to Moral Agency , . The last-named work is that on which his fame rests, and is one of the most powerful expositions and defences of the views known as Calvin is tic. According to Robert Hall, E.

[A.S. al ; G., D., and Dan. aal ; Lat. anguilla ; Sansk. ahi , a serpent.] ( Zool .) The Anguillida , a family of fishes belonging to the apodal section of the Malacopterygii . Their long and cylindrical bodies are covered by a thick and soft skin, in which the scales are so deeply imbedded as to be scarcely apparent. The gill-orifices are very small, and are situated far back, so that there is a long pa age from the gill-chamber outwards; and hence, the gills not soon becoming dry, these fishes can remain a long time out of the water, some of them, indeed, leaving it of their own accord. Most of the eels are in- cluded in the Linnæan genus Murana , and are divided by some naturalists into the families Synbranchida, Murænid a, Anguillida, Congerida, and Ophisurida. The Synbranchidæ have the gill-pa ages so united un- der a common integument as to present externally only a single orifice: they are almost destitute of fins. The species are few, and they are chiefly found in trop- ical seas. The Murænid a are also generally destitute of fins, or nearly so; they are all destitute of scales, and never found in fresh water. The Anguillidæ are fresh- water fishes, though some of them occasionally visit the sea. They have pretty large pectoral fins, anal and dorsal fins extending to and encompa ing the tip of the tail, and numerous longish scales imbedded in groups in the skin, so as to resemble lattice-work. Ophisurida, or snake-eels, are distinguished by the tail ending in a conical pointle fin. The common fresh-and-salt-water eel, Anguilla boston i ens is , of the United States, is 12 to 20 inches in length. The high repute in which eels were held by the ancients is well known: they were deified by the Egyptians, and invoked by the ancient Greeks as "the Helen of the dinner-table," because every guest strove, like Paris, to supplant his neighbor, and keep her for himself. The CONGER EEL ( Anguilla conger ), in its general appearance, is closely allied to the common Eel, but differs materially from it in size, being some- times ten feet in length, as thick as a man's thigh, and weighing 100 lbs.; it is also in general of a darker color on the upper part, and of a bright- er hue beneath. The Conger re- sides generally in the sea, and is only an occasional visitant of fresh waters. winter it is supposed to imbed itself under the soft mud, and to lie in an inactive state; but on the approach of spring it emerges from its concealment, and visits the mouths of rivers. Its flesh is tough and disagreeable. - The genus Gym not us has the anal fin beneath a greater part of the body, and generally as far as the end of the tail, but not dorsal. - The Electrical Eel, G. electric us , of the warm regions of S. America, is 5 to 6 feet long, and is celebrated for its ability to communicate such electri- cal shocks that men and animals are struck down by them. Eel, in Indiana , a township of Ca co.
