_Rodolph Gualter_ (Vol. iii., p. 8.).--
"Rodolph Gualter naquit à Zurich en 1519, et y mourut en 1586. Il fit
ses études dans sa ville natale, à Lausanne, à Marbourg, et en
Angleterre. Rodolph, son fils, mort en 1577, avait fait de très bonnes
études à Genève, en Allemagne, et à l'université d'Oxford."
The above I have extracted from the account of him given in the _Biographie
Universelle_, which refers as authority to "J.B. Huldrici Gualtherus
redivivus seu de vita et morte Rod. Gualtheri oratio, 1723," in the
Biblioth. Bremens., viii. p. 635. In this memoir I find it stated:
"quod Gualtherus noster unà cum Nicolao Partrigio Anglo in Angliam iter
suscepit. Quatuor illud mensibus et aliquot diebus finitum est,
inciditque in annum seculi trigesimum."
But neither in this, nor in the account of his life by Melchior Adam, nor
in that contained in Rose's _Biographical Dictionary_, can I find any trace
of the opinion that he was a Scotchman; and as Huldricus was himself a
professor in the Athenæum at Zurich, he would probably be correctly
informed on the subject.
