FELLER, FRANCOIS XAVIER DE (1735-1802) , Belgian author, was born at Brussels on the 18th of August 1735. In 1752 he entered a school of the
Jesuits
  at Reims, where he manifested a
great
  aptitude for mathematics and
physical
  science. He commenced his novitiate two years afterwards, and in testimony of his admiration for the apostle of India added Xavier to his surname. On the expiry of his novitiate he became professor at Luxembourg, and afterwards at Liege. In 1764 he was appointed to the professorship of theology at Tyrnau in
Hungary
 , but in 1771 he returned to Belgium and continued to discharge his professorial duties at Liege till the suppression of the
Jesuits
  in 1773. The
remainder
  of his
life
  he devoted to study, travel and literature. On the invasion of Belgium by the French in 1794 he went to Paderborn, and remained there two years, after which he took up his residence at Ratisbon, where he died on the 23rd of May 1802.
Feller's works exceed 120 volumes. In 1773 he published, under the assumed name Flexier de
Reval
  (an anagram of Xavier d Feller), his Catechisme philosophique; and his
principal
  wort Dictionnaire historique et litteraire (published in 1781 at Liege in Volume's, and afterwards several times reprinted and continue,
down to 1848), appeared under the same name. Among his other works the most important are Cours de morale chretienne et de litterature religieuse and his Coup d'cxil sur congres d'Ems. The
Journal
  historique et litteraire, published at Luxembourg and Liege from 1774 to 1794 in 70 volumes, was edited and in
great
 
part
  written by him.
