2 vols. 12mo). His last work, Le Christianisme en Chine, en Tartarie, et au Thibet (Paris, 1857, 3 vols. 8vo, with map), contains a vast amount of historical information ; but its chief topic is the propagation of Romanism in China. Hue thinks that " the Gospel will soon take in Asia the place now occupied by the philosophy of Con- fucius, the traditions of the Buddhists, and the endless legends of the Vedas; finally, that Brahma, Buddha, and Mohammed will disappear to make room for the true God," etc. Hue died in Paris Marcii 31, I860.

Hucarius, an English deacon who flourished in the 11th centurj'. He wrote one hundred and eight homi- lies, " which were extant in Leland's time in Canterbury College (now Christ Church), Oxford, but which appear to be no longer in existence. In the prologue to this book, Hucarius stated liis name and country, but noth- ing more is known of him." He is said to have made an extract from the penitential work of archbishop Eg- bert of York, of the 8th century, as an introduction to the homilies. See Wright, Biog. Brit. Lit. (Anglo-Sax. Period), p. 426; Herzog, /Jpo^-^'w^Wo/;. xxi, 604; Theol. Univ. Lex. i, 372. (J. H. W.)
Hucbald, also called Hlcbold, Hugbald, Urald, and HiTiiALD, a celebrated monk, was probably bom about 850, and was educated by his learned relative IMilo (q. V.) in the monaster}^ of St. Amandus in Flanderu. After Milo's death, Hucbald succeeded him as teacher and presiding officer of the school of this monastery. About 893, archbishop Fulco, of Rheims, called Hucbald to that city, to preside over the cathedral school there. He died in 930. He distinguished himself greatly in music, and was the first to establish the laws of harmo- ny (diaphonia). His lives of some of the saints are con- sidered valuable, especially Vita S, Lebuini, Vita Alde- gundis, Vita Bictrudis. See Aschbach, Kirchen-L.ex. iii, 342 ; Herzog, Real-EncyUopadie, vi, 297 sq.

Hudson, John, D.D., an English philologist and theologian, was born at Widehope in 1662, and was edu- cated at Queen's College, Oxford. He obtained the de- gree of IMaster of Arts in 1684, and shortly afterwards that of Doctor of Divinity. In 1701 he was appointed librarian of the Bodleian library at Oxford, and died Nov. 27, 1719. He is chiefly known on account of his Geographice, Veteris Scriptores Grceci minores. etc. (Ox- ford, 1698, 1703, 1712,3 vols. 8vo), and his edition of Jo- sephus, entitled Flavii Josephi Opera (Oxf. 1720,2 vols, fob), which appeared shortly after his death. — Hoefer, Nouv.

Huel, Joseph Nicolas, a French philosopher, was born at Mattaincourt June 17, 1690. After the comple- tion ef his studies at I'aris he took orders, and was made curate of Rameux. He is said (Barbier, Diet, des Anonymes) to be the author of Essai philosophiqiie sur la crainte de la Mart, and of Moyen de rendre nos relig- ieuses utiles et de nous exemjiter des dots qu'elles exigent (1750), in which important reforms of the religious houses of the Roman Catholic Church are advocated. His special aim was the employment of the inmates of convents in instructing the youth of the land, instead of spending a life of idleness, partly, if not wholly, at the expense of the state. The book was suppressed, but re- printed eleven years after, without, however, awaken- ing any general interest in this reformatorj^ movement. Huel died at Romeux Sept.3, 1769.— Hoefer, Nouv. Bing.

Hviesca, Council of (Concilium Oscense), a coun- cil held at Huesca, in Spain, in 598, of which only two canons are extant. One orders that the diocesan syn- ods, composed of the abbots, priests, and deacons of the diocese, be held amnially, in which the bishop shall exhort his clergy upon the duties of frugality and con-

tinonce; the other that the bishop shall inform himself whether the priests, deacons, and subdeacons observe the law of continence (torn, v, Cone. 1G04). — Landon, Man- ual of Councils, p. '2CG.
Huesca, Uuranho de, a celebrated member of the Albigenses (ci. v.), flourished in the first half of the 13th century. He at length yielded to Komisli intluences, and returned to that Church, in which he founded a re- ligious community under the name of '• Poor Catholics." In 1207 he went to Komc, and obtained the remission of his heresy from Innocent III, and was by this pojjc de- clared the superior of his fraternity. The members of this community lived on alms, applied themselves to study and teaching, kept Lent twice a year, and wore a habit of white or gray, with shoes open at the top, but distinguisl'.cil by some particular mark from those of the I'oor ^len t)f Lyons (Lisabatati). "The new order spread so rapidly that in a few years it had numerous convents botli south and north of the Pyrenees. But, although they professed to devote themselves to the conversion of heretics, and Huesca wrote some books with that view, they soon incurred the suspicion of the bishops, who accused them of favoring the Yaudois (q. v.), and concealing their heretical tenets under the monastic garb. They had sufhcient influence to maintain them- selves for some time, and even to jirooure letters from his holiness, exhorting the bishops to endeavor to gain them by kintlness instead of alienating their minds from the Church by severe treatment; but their enemies at last prevailed, and within a short time no trace of their establishments was to be found." — McCrie, Reformation in ^pain, p. 3(5 sq. ; Hist.
