Though little of Miss Jlartineau's work has survived as a permanent literary possession, it was of great value to her f;eneration. She was a popularizer of the aJvanced thinking of her day. Consult her Autobiography iiilh Memo- rials, ed. by Chapman (London, 1S77), and Jlillcr. tian-ict Martineau (London, 1884). MARTINEAtr, James (1805-1900).

April 21. 1S0.5. lie was educated lor the ministry at ilanchester College ( Lnitarian) , which was then located at York, and was graduated in 182". lie spent one year leaching in Bristol and then, October 20, 1828, he was ordained to the Presbyterian ministry in Dublin. He resigned his pastorate in Dublin be- cause he objected to receiving State aid in the Kegium Donitm. though it would have increased his salarj' by £100. From Dublin he went to Liverpool, where he was settled over Paradise Street Chapel, and eked out his income by taking pupils. Here he attracted considerable attention by engaging, along with .J. H. Thoni and Henry Giles, in a controversy against some clergymen of the Church of England on the subject of Uni- tarianism. Soon afterwards Martineau was elect- ed professor of mental and moral philosophy at Manchester Xew College, and continued to lec- ture in the college when it was removed to Lon- don in 18.53, though he also retained his pulpit in Liverpool for four years. In 1857 he took up his residence in London. The next year he added to his work the task of sharing the pulpit of Little Portland Street Chapel with J. .J. Tay- lor, then jnincipal of the colU'ge. Upon the death of Mr. Taylor in 1SI!8. hi; became principal of the college and tilled the cba])(d puliiit alone for four years, when the strain eompclled him to give it up. He is the autlior of The Rntionah' of Re- ligious IiKjuiri/ (1S3(!); also i'nitariaiiixm De- fended (in collaboration with Thorn and Giles, 1830), the lectiircs delivered in the controversy referred to above: Kndeavors After the Chris- tian Life (2 vols., 1843-47) : M isccllatiies (18.52) ; Studies of Christianili/ (18.58) ; Essays, Philosophical and Theological ( 18tiG-(i7) : Re- ligion as Affected hy Modern Materialism (1874); Hours of'Thnuiiht on Sacred Thinqs (1870-70) ; Study of Spinoza (1882) ; Types of Ethical Theory' (1885); Study of I{cligio)i (1888) ; and The Seat of Authority in Religion ( 18!10). He received hf)norarv degrees from Har- vard, Leyden, Edinburgh. Oxford, and Dublin. He died January II, 1000. In philosophy he was an intuitionist. maintaining that men have a power of con.scienee, which, without aid from experience, can ascertain the higher of two con- flicting motives. In theology he was, as already seen, a prominent Unitarian; but his greatest im- portance will probably remain in his ethical work. Consult: Drununond.

It is always spoken of in connection with the earroccin, n famous car of great size, drawn by two beauti- ful oxen, which accompanied the citizens to the field of battle. For a month after war was de- clared, the martinella rang incessantly, and when at last the army moved out, the bell was placed on the carroocio inside a wooden tower, and guided the troops by its sound.
