Excerpt from Biographie Universelle, ou Dictionnaire Historique, Vol. 7 Joan, fils de Sarvia soeur de David, et frère d'abisaï et d'azaël, fut attaché au service de David et commanda ses armées avec succès. La première occasion où il se signala fut le combat de Gabaon, où il vainquit Abner, chef du parti d'is boseth. Il monta le premier sur les murs de Jérusalem et mérita par sa valeur d'étre conserve dans l'emploi de général, qu'il possédait déjà. Il marcha contre les Syriens qui s'étaient révoltés contre Da vid, les mit en fuite, et s'étant rendu maitre d'un quartier de la ville de Bab bath sur les Ammonites il fit venir Da vid, pour qu'il eût la gloire de cette con quête. Joab se signala dans toutes les guerres que ce monarque eut à soutenir, mais il se déshonora en assassinant Abner et Amasa, parce qu'il était jaloux de la confiance que David leur accordait. Il réconcilia Absalon avec David et ne laissa pas de tuer ce prince rebelle dans une bataille, vers l'an 1025 avant J. - C. David en considération de ses services, et parla crainte de sa puissance, ne sévit pas contre lui; mais en mourant il com manda à son fils Salomon de le punir. Ce jeune prince fut ministre de la ven geance de son père. Joab ayant pris parti pour Adonias contre le nouveau roi, Sa lomon fit tuer le général rebelle aux pieds de l'autel où il s'était réfugié croyant y trouver un asile, l'an 4011; avant Jésus - Christ.

Excerpt from Biographie Universelle, ou Dictionnaire Historique, Vol. 4 Maraldi, de Mayran, Eisenschmid les deux Cassini, etc., ont trouvé les degrés méridiens ou de latitude plus longs vers l'équateur; les observations faites par ordre - de la cour de France, à Tornéa en Laponie et à Quito en Amérique disent au contraire que les degrés de latitude sont plus petits vers équateur, plus longs vers les pôles. L'auteur des Etudes de la nature prétend que les degrés polaires sont plus longs, li terre est ai longée vers les pôles; le gros des phy sim - mathématiciens assure le contraire. Enfin, quelques mathématiciens, rebutés parla différence des calculs qu'ils remar quaient dans toutes les observations, ont avancé que les deux bém13phèroe pour raient bien n'être pas égaux; d'autres ont soutenu que la terre avait au moins a de grandes irrégularités dans sa figure, et que ses méridiens n'étaient pas sem blables; opinion que le pèle Boscowich a entrepris de mettre dans tout son a jour. Le résultat que l'homme impartial forme de tout cela, est que la terre n'est apoint mesurable, conformément à ce passage de l'ecriture: Quis posait men suras ejus, si nosli? Vel quis tetendit super eem lineam? Job.c. 58. V. 6. Alti tadinem celi et lati'tudinem terra: quis dimensus est? Eccl. 1.

Il ne contribua pas peu à répandre l'usage de cette Opération en France, et il mit dans cet objet toute l'activité qui formait son caractère. Le style des différens ou vrages de la Condamine est simple et négligé; mais il est semé de traits agréa bles et plaisans, qui leur assurent des lec teurs. La poésie légère était un des talens de cet académicien, et on a de lui des vers de société, d'une tournure piquante. Les gens du monde le recherchaient parce qu'il était plein d'anecdotes et d'observa tions singulières propres à amuser leur curiosité.

He was born at Brussels on the 18th of August 1735.
In 1752 he entered a school of the Jesuits at Reims, where he manifested a great aptitude for mathematics and physical science.
He commenced his novitiate two years after his graduation, and in testimony of his admiration for the apostle of India he added Xavier to his surname. On the expiry of his novitiate he became professor at Luxembourg, and afterwards at Liege. In 1764 he was appointed to the professorship of theology at Tyrnau in Hungary, but in 1771 he returned to Belgium and continued to discharge his professorial duties at Li^ge till the suppression of the Jesuits in 1773. The remainder of his life he devoted to study, travel and literature. On the invasion of Belgium by the French in 1794 he went to Paderborn, and remained there two years, after which he took up his residence at Ratisbon, where he died on the 23rd of May 1802.
Feller's works exceed 120 volumes. In 1773 he published, under the assumed name Flexier de Reval (an anagram of "Xavier de Feller"), his Catéchisme philosophique; and his principal work Dictionnaire historique et littéraire (published in 1781 at Liege in volumes, and afterwards several times reprinted and continued down to 1848), appeared under the same name. Among his other works the most important are Cours de morale chrétienne et de littérature religieuse (Paris, 1826) and his Coup d'oeil sur le Congrès d'Ems (1787). The Journal historique et littéraire, published at Luxembourg and Liege from 1774 to 1794 in 70 volumes, was edited and in great part written by him.
