92 HUSSARS chapters of the first epistle to the Corinthians, notes on other canonical epistles, and an ex- planation of ten of the Psalms. In the class of sermons there are 38, two of which were written at Constance, but never preached. There are two series of letters, the first of 14, written before, and the second of 56, writ- ten after his departure from Prague to Con- stance. The complete works of Huss were published in quarto at Strasburg in 1525. For his biography, see Neander's "Church History" (vol. v., Torrey's translation), Gil- lett's " Life and Times of Huss " (2 vols., Bos- ton, 1863), and Palacky's Docv.rn.enta Magistri Joannii Vitam, Doctrinam, etc., illuitrantia (Prague, 1869). (See HUSSITES.) Ill SSARS (Hung, hugs, 20, and dr, rate), the national cavalry of Hungary and Croatia. The name is also applied to some bodies of light cavalry in the armies of other countries of Eu- rope. It is derived from the fact that in the 15th century every 20 houses in Hungary were required to furnish a soldier with a horse and furniture. The arms of the hussars are a sabre, a carbine, and pistols. Their regimentals were originally a fur cap with a feather, a doublet, a pair of breeches to which the stockings were attached, and a pair of red or yellow boots. There were five regiments of hussars under Tilly at Leipsic in 1631. The name first be- came general in the 18th century, when regi- ments of hussars were organized in the princi- pal European armies. HCSSITES, the name of the followers of John Huss in Bohemia, who, on his death in 1415, organized as a sect, making the offering of the cup to the laity in the sacrament of the eucha- rist the badge of their covenant. Upon the death of Wenceslas (1419) they refused to rec- ognize the emperor Sigismund as king, where- i upon the Hussite civil war broke out. They were divided into two parties, the more mod- erate Calixtines and the more rigid Taborites. Ziska, the leader of the latter party, assembled them on a mountain which he fortified and called Mt. Tabor, captured Prague, pillaged the monasteries, and in several engagements de- feated Sigismund. (See ZISKA.) After the death of Ziska (1424) his place was filled by a monk named Procopius, who defeated the mercena- ries sent under the name of crusaders by the emperor and the papal legates in the battles of Mies (1427) and Tachau (1431), and whose troops ravaged Austria, Franconia, Saxony, Catholic Bohemia, Lusatia, and Silesia. A council held at Basel in 1433 made concessions which were accepted by the Calixtines. (See PROCOPIITS.) The Taborites, rejecting the com- promise, were vanquished near Bohemian Brod (1434), and by the treaty of Iglau (1436) the compromise of Basel was accepted by Bohe- mia, and Sigismund was recognized as king. On the death of Sigismund (1437) controver- sies again arose, and civil wars were prosecu- ted with no decisive results, till at the diet of Kuttenberg (1485) a peace was established IIUTCIIINSON by King Ladislas which secured Catholics and Calixtines in the possessions they then held.

Ill TCHKSOY Fronds, a Scottish philosopher, born in Ireland, Aug. 8, 1694, died in Glasgow in 1747. lie studied theology at Glasgow, and became pastor of a Presbyterian congregation in Ulster. His "Inquiry into the Original of our Ideas of Beauty and Virtue " (1720) gave him distinction among philosophers. In 1728 he published a treatise on the "Nature and Conduct of the Passions and Affections," and in the following year was appointed professor of moral philosophy in the university of Glas- gow. His Synopsis Metaphysics Ontologiam et Pneumatologiam complectens, and his Phi- losophies Moralis Institutio, were written as text books for his classes. His most complete and elaborate work, the "System of Moral Philosophy," appeared after his death (2 vols., Glasgow, 1755), with a biography by Dr. Wil- liam Leechman. Truth he divides into logical, moral, and metaphysical. Logical truth is the agreement of a proposition with the object it relates to ; moral truth is the harmony of the outward act with the inward sentiment ; and metaphysical truth is that nature of a thing wherein it is known to God as that which ac- tually it is, or in other words it is its absolute reality. He maintained that besides the five external senses we possess also internal senses, one of which occasions the emotions of beauty and sublimity, and another gives rise to the moral feelings. He introduced the term moral sense, and maintained the existence of certain universal propositions, derived not from ex- perience, but from the connate power of the mind (menti congenita intelligendi ris).

Ill T('1I1.SO, Anne, founder of a party of An- tinomians in New England, born at Alford, Lincolnshire, England, in 1591, died near New Amsterdam (now New York) in August, 1643. She was the daughter of the Eev. Francis Marbury. Becoming interested in the preaching of John Cotton, and of her brother- in-law John Wheelwright, she followed the former to New England with her husband, arriving in Boston Sept. 18, 1634. She was admitted a member of the Boston church, and rapidly acquired influence. She instituted meetings of the women of the church to dis- cuss sermons and doctrines, in which she gave prominence to peculiar speculations which even on her voyage had attracted the attention and caused the displeasure of her fellow passengers. Such were the tenets that the person of the Holy Spirit dwells in every believer, and that
