VINGUT, Francisco Javier, educator, born in Cuba in 1823. He came to the United States about 1848, and for many years was professor of the Spanish language and literature in the University of the city of New York. He edited papers called "La Aurora" and "La Indiana" in Spanish and English, and published grammars and phrase-books for learning the Spanish, English, and French languages.--His wife, Gertrude, author, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, about 1830, was a daughter of Sum-her L.
