FELTON, CORNELIUS CONWAY (1807-1862) , American classical scholar, was born on the 6th of November 1807, in West Newbury, Massachusetts. He graduated at Harvard College in 1827, having taught school in the winter vacations of his sophomore and junior years. After teaching in the Livingstone high school of Geneseo, New

Pennsylvania
 , on the 26th of February 1862. Dr Felton edited many classical texts. His annotations on Wolf's text of the Iliad (1833) are especially valuable. Greece, Ancient and Modern (2 vols., 1867),
forty
 -nine lectures before the
