CHRONOLOGY.

363. The emperor Julian died, aged thirty-two. He was denominated the

apostate, from having professed Christianity before he ascended the

throne, and afterwards relapsing to Paganism. He received his death

wound in a battle with the Persians. Dr. Watkins in his “Biographical

Dictionary” says, that he was virtuous and modest in his manners, and

liberal in his disposition, an enemy to luxury, and averse to public
