INDEX OF AUTONYMS.

It will perhaps be useful to some of our readers who may desire further information with regard to the authors herein mentioned, that such may be found in Watts’ Bibliotheca Britannica, which contains an entry of almost every book published up to about 1820: after this, Lowndes’ Bibliographer’s Manual, by Bohn, should be searched, and for religious pub. Darling’s Cyclo. will be found useful; The English Catalogue, 1864; Stevens’ Cat. of American Books; and Roorback and Trübner’s American Bib. Guides. Allibone’s Dict. of Eng. Lit. to 1859 will generally inform the reader whether an author is in any of these. We frequently refer to Men of the Time when an author is given in that work: our reference by no means implies that our remarks are taken from that useful publication. The number of names occurring in this work, not in any of the above, is remarkable. Several of our biographies are from original sources. We must acknowledge the very great assistance we have received from the Rev. C. Hole’s Brief Biographical Dictionary.

Barnard, Mrs. J. Claribel.

Barrett, E. S. A man of great promise and talent, and author of numerous works, chiefly anon. or pseudm., a complete list of which we have attempted, as none is to be found elsewhere. His works seem to be in comparative obscurity, doubtless in consequence of the early death of the author. Books are like children: they require fostering and bringing up with the greatest care: to give them birth is not alone sufficient. Fortunate, therefore, is a departed author whose works obtain intelligent editing. He was of Irish birth, though educated in England, and a student of the Middle Temple, but his time was eventually devoted to literature, for at the age of twenty-one he published two satirical poems—see Polypus and Hogg (C.); but even while at school he wrote a play, with prologue and epilogue, which was performed before the master and his family with so much success that the master prohibited any future dramatic performances, fearing that he might incur blame for encouraging too much taste for the theatre. (N. & Q. 1 S. viii.) The Comet, a mock newspaper, 1808 [anon?]; The Tarantula, or Dance of Fools, a Squib, 1809 [anon?] is also attributed to him; Woman, a poem, 1810, published, as he says in his preface to the 2nd edit., 1818, “not at the ‘request of friends,’ but contrary to their opinion, ... it met with no success”; The Heroine, or Adventures of [a fair romance-reader, 1st edit.] Cherubina, (motto) “L’Histoire d’une Femme est toujours un Roman,” 1813. 2nd edit., 1814. It is in letters, and the Biog. Dict., 1816, says, has been pronounced not inferior in wit and humour to “Tristram Shandy.” “The absurdities of a school of fiction, at that time in high favour, are happily ridiculed; and a novel which had great success in its day, and is still to be found in some of the circulating libraries, called Six Weeks at Long’s” (N. & Q. 1 S. viii. 423). “My wife! what a wife?” a comedy ... performed at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, 1815. See The Author of all the Talents. In private, his worth and attractive manners are said to have gained him the esteem of his friends. He died, 1820, in Glamorganshire, of a rapid decline, occasioned by the bursting of a blood vessel, when in about the thirty-sixth year of his age. Hogg, C.—Polypus.—The Author of All the Talents.

Braddon, Miss M. E. The most popular authoress of the day of sensation novels. The daughter of a solicitor. She was born, according to M. of T., in 1837. We have only been able to give two of her pseudonyms. Whether through her own or her publisher’s fault, we cannot tell, but somehow or other Miss Braddon has frequently been in literary “hot water.” It seems to be the privilege of a certain class of novelists.

A collected edition of her works, with a portrait and a general preface giving a minute description of the composition of each publication, was published in 10 vols., 1845-6. Mr. Bray was a clergyman at Tavistock. See M. of T., 1868. Her first publication was Letters written during a Tour through Normandy, &c., in 1818, by Mrs. Chas. Stothard. Lond., 1820. 4to.—See Stothard, Mrs., p. 122. The Author of De Foix.

She was born in the Island of Burra, both in Orkney. The story of her short life, written by her husband, is one of domestic duties combined with the authorship of her novels: She died in childbirth, Dec. 19, 1818. The Author of Self-Control.

Colton, Rev. Charles Caleb, was the son of the Rev. Burfoot Colton, canon residentiary of Salisbury, Born about 1780, and educated at Eton and Christ Church College, Cambridge, where he took his B.A. and M.A., and in due course obtained a fellowship. He was presented by his College to the Curacy of Tiverton; in 1818 he succeeded to the united livings of Kew and Petersham. Colton first attracted notice by a pamphlet on the “Sampford Ghost,” 1810 (for other works see Watt. Bib. Brit.) See The Author of Hypocrisy, 1819. The “Lacon” was first published in 1820-22, and has been frequently republished; it is from the edition of William Tegg, 1866, that we obtain these particulars of Colton’s life:—He was a man of ready susceptibility, but of very infirm principles, eccentric in manner, extravagant in his habits, and irremediably addicted to gambling and its attendant vices. Having contracted debts to a large amount chiefly for diamonds, jewellery, and wines, a fiat of Bankruptcy was issued against him. Bewildered by the number and gravity of his pecuniary obligations, Colton secretly embarked for the United States. This happening about the time of the murder of Weare, it was at first strongly suspected that he too had fallen by the hand of an assassin; but the secret of his whereabouts soon oozed out, and in 1822 a successor was appointed to his living. Returning to Europe, after a sojourn of some years in America [where surely he must have published something?] he took up his abode in Paris, where he was so successful in his gambling speculations, that in the course of a year or two he acquired a considerable fortune (it is said £25,000), but it was soon dissipated. After a life checquered by nearly every phase of good and adverse fortune, preferring suicide to the endurance of a painful surgical operation, he blew his brains out at Fontainebleau, in April, 1832; and this was the act of the man who, in his ‘Lacon’ utters this aphorism:—“The gamester, if he die a martyr to his profession, is doubly ruined. He adds his soul to every other loss, and by the act of suicide renounces earth to forfeit heaven.”

Colton, Rev. Calvin, b. 1789, America -1857. He visited England in 1801, where he remained for four years as a Correspondent of the New York Observer. See Allibone. An American in London.

M. of T., 1868. Published several pieces while at Cambridge in his teens. He and his friend Mr. Thomas Wright were the chief pioneers to revive the taste for Early English Literature. Mr. Halliwell has more particularly made Shakespeare the study of his life. He brought out a magnificent and elaborately annotated and illustrated edition of his favourite author in 16 folio volumes. Perhaps no literary man living has ever seen so many books through the press as writer and editor. Having pecuniary means, he has followed no profession. A list of upwards of fifty of his works, &c., will be found in Allibone’s Dict. of Eng. Lit. He has also been a constant contributor of valuable notes to Notes and Queries. He is also author of An Introduction to the Evidences of Christianity, by a Fellow of the Royal Society, 1859. J. O. H.

Lawrence, Frederick, born about 1821, in Berkshire, where his father was a large farmer; was in the employ of Messrs. Simpkin, Marshall, and Co., the booksellers and publishers, and afterwards in the printed book department, British Museum, a short time after his friend J. Humffreys Parry (now serjeant-at-law). Having written some articles that were considered clever, he was advised to go to the Bar. He accordingly entered himself of the Middle Temple, and was called in 1849. He attended the Berkshire Sessions, and obtained some success at the Bar. The author of this little work had the melancholy satisfaction of seeing him a few days before his death, to ask his permission to make such use as we required of some of his articles in Sharpe’s Lond. Mag., which was readily granted. He published “The Life of Fielding ...” Hall, Virtue, and Co., 1855 (with some bibliographical notes by Mr. Thomas Watts in the Appendix). This is a capital biography, replete with interesting particulars, and information on contemporary writers. Mr. Lawrence collected many notes for a second edition, and also, we have heard, for a Life of Smollett. He was on the staff of the Weekly Dispatch for many years, and, we believe, contributed to other periodical publications, and was also editor of the Lawyer’s Companion, Stevens and Sons, 1864 to 1868. During a short stay at Boulogne, he was seized with an attack of dropsy, which necessitated his immediate return. The disease had invaded his system for some years, and had rendered him less active and more disinclined to any kind of work than he was during his better days of health. He died at his chambers in the Temple on the 25th of October, 1867. A Barrister.

Madden, D. O., b. 1815, Ireland -1852 the son of a merchant, of Cork, his short life was entirely given up to literary pursuits, in which he eventually wore himself out, so that he may almost be said to have died of exhaustion of the brain. From a whim somewhat similar to that of Captain Marryat, Madden desired that no public notice should be taken of his death, and consequently there is none in any of the newspapers, nor in the Gent. Mag., or Annual Register. The Athenæum, however, was not bound to be silent, and in 1859 (ii. 209, 246) it gave a short but interesting notice of his literary labors. Ireland and its Rulers since 1839, appears to be his first autonymous work; but he was chiefly addicted to the anonymous and pseudonymous. For the sake, it is said, of distinguishing himself from another Madden he wrote his name Maddyn. The man who desired no obituary memoirs changed his name that he might be known! North, D.

This fact is well authenticated by those employed at the Museum for thirty years; the other ten we take on the authority of H. B. C. in N. and Q., before referred to. He graduated as A.M. at Lincoln’s Coll., Oxford. He died in 1867, at the age of 71. W. D.

O’Rourke, E., talented dramatist and actor. Wrote one of the most successful “sensational” pieces of the time, called Peep O’Day. The great popularity of this piece induced him to embark in a larger speculation at Drury Lane. But here fickle Fortune forsook him, and after a short partnership with Mr. Chatterton, he retired from the management. Mr. Falconer writes little, however, and acts little. He is only known under this name, so that O’Rourke has almost become his pseudonym. Falconer, E.

We doubt whether many of the fair readers of the History trouble to read the advertisement to the later editions, which informs us that she was the wife of the Rev. John Penrose, and lived at Bracebridge, near Lincoln. She was the second daughter of the Rev. Dr. Cartwright, the inventor of the power-loom, and author of ‘Armine and Elvira,’ and other poems. She died at Lincoln, 24th of January, 1837.

Phillips, Sir Richard, Knight, one of the most extraordinary characters of his time, a man of the world, and of considerable energy, b. 1767, England -1840. He set out in life with a pseudonym, for we are told (Gent. Mag.) that his original name was Philip Richards. He was brought up with an uncle, a brewer, in Oxford-street, but a passion for literature and philosophy led him to detach himself from his family connections. He afterwards became a schoolmaster in Leicester, and it was no doubt from the experience thus obtained that he was enabled to write the school books which obtained so much celebrity under the different names he assumed. Being tired of schooling, however, he opened a hosiery shop, but, thinking that “politics were as profitable an article as he could deal in,” he established The Leicester Herald, which was a success. Little is known of the ups and downs of his life, so little indeed that we cannot vouch for anything herein contained; the different notices of him appear to be all unauthentic. Mr. Timbs, however, has promised a truthful account, and until that appears we must be content to propagate error. It is much to be regretted that he destroyed the journal of his life which he commenced. He might have put many things recorded of him in a better light—we doubt whether he could have put them in a worse. He was through life a vegetarian, which did not prevent his living the period allotted to man. In 1793 he was prosecuted for selling Paine’s Rights of Man, and suffered a year’s imprisonment. When his term had expired, he sold his share in his newspaper. Shortly after his premises in Leicester were consumed by a fire, and, oddly enough, he was insured to the full amount—at least, so says our authority. He then went to London, and opened a hosier’s shop. His next venture was a literary one, in the shape of The Monthly Magazine, which he owned for thirty years. He was elected sheriff in 1807, and received the honour of knighthood in 1808. His activity in office was very considerable, and he did much good. In 1809 he again got into difficulties, and all his copyrights were sold, though he was enabled to repurchase some. He was a most extraordinary mixture of principles and no principles, of honesty and dishonesty. As we have observed in N. and Q., his literary ventures must be highly curious, particularly those which relate to the manufacture of books. But we shall probably never know the real truth on the subject, and shall therefore have to put up with conjectures, which generally result in a thing being made out worse than it probably is. Watt, in his Bib. Brit., mixes him up with his namesake and contemporary the chemist. The following are all the works we have been able to collect which he published in his own name:—1. On the Practices of Anonymous Critics, 1806; 2. A Letter to the Livery of London, relative to the views of the writer in executing the office of Sheriff, 1808, 8vo, 294; 3. Social Philosophy, or a New System of Practical Ethics, ——; 4. Communications relative to the Datura Stramonium as a Cure for Asthma, 1811; 5. Treatise on the Powers and Duties of Juries, and on the Criminal Laws of England, 1811; 6. Golden Rules for Jurymen, 1814, on a sheet; 7.

Essays on the Proximate Mechanical Causes of the General Phenomena of the Universe (revised from the Month. Mag., for July, 1817), Lond., Souter, 1818, 12mo, viii. 96, 3s. 6d., and 2nd edit., 1821; 10.

Golden Rules of Social Philosophy, or a New System of Practical Ethics, 1826; 12. A Personal Tour through the United Kingdom, Lond., Horatio Phillips, [Derby, printed 1828], 8vo, viii., 220, pts. 1 and 2 only; 13. Protest against the Prevailing Principles of Natural Philosophy, with the Development of a Common Sense System, 1830, 8vo, 71, with an autograph letter from the author, in the British Museum; 14. A Million of Facts, serving as a Common Place Book on all Subjects of Curiosity, Lond. (1832), 12mo, several editions; 15. A Dictionary of the Arts of Life and Civilization, Lond. (1833), 8vo; 16. Letter on the Theory of Education, 1835.

Richmond, Rev. Legh, b. 1772-1827. A writer in Blackwood’s Magazine, 1822, says that he never heard this truly evangelical clergyman but once, and that he then thought him a wishy-washy preacher. He prosed away apparently with much facility, his course not being slackened by any distressing burthen of ideas. He seems to have paid a visit of conversion to Scotland, to show them “the road to salvation,” and what is his reward? why almost universal scorn and contempt. “He is obviously a chosen vessel, without crack or flaw, and overflowing with sound doctrine,” ... “and Scotland will be saved by the Dairyman’s Daughter.” In “Three Days at Turvey, in Bedfordshire (the scene of the labors of the late Rev. L. R., A.M.), in the summer of 1847, by a Clergyman’s son, South Shields, 1848,” a memoir of the above, by F. S. Grimshawe is mentioned.

In 1801 he set up as a portrait painter; but he very soon determined to relinquish a profession in which he had no hopes of success; and a favorable opportunity occurring, on Lord Valentia’s visiting India, Salt accompanied his lordship, and did not return to London until 1806, after an absence of four years and four months. He then prepared an account of his travels for the press, which he eventually published. He also published several other works of value. He was Consul-General in Egypt.

Schiller, H. Carl. It is scarcely necessary to remark that this gentleman is not related to his namesake and countryman. About 1836 Mr. Schiller, who was then residing at Hull, was associated with E. J. Loder in producing several songs, which were very popular at the time, and have been frequently reprinted. Among them we have The Ivy, The Outlaw, The Forrester’s Bride, Fair Alice. He was the musical critic to the Manchester Musical and Dramatic Review, and also contributed anonymously to a serial, “The Life and Adventures of a British Actor,” and a song, which we believe was never set to music, on Napoleon I. Mr. Schiller is also an inventor, and has patented a method for “submerging deep sea Telegraphic Cables.” He is the father of the accomplished pianist, Miss Madeleine Schiller. In his profession of an artist he is more particularly known for producing remarkably successful likenesses from description of deceased persons. The Bride of Kynast, founded on a German story, we have mentioned at page 17. Anthony, Grey.

Thomas, Miss Annie (Mrs. Pender Cudlip), a novelist of considerable talent, though by no means exempt from the remarks generally applicable to our lady-novelists. One critic, for instance, says, “it is pity lady-novelists persist in writing about what they do not understand; for we do not really think Miss Thomas understands—though she certainly affects—the language of the stable and the club.” Most of her works, we believe, are republications from magazines, &c.

Watts, Thomas, b. in London early in this century. It is quite impossible to think of Mr. Watts without coupling his name with that of the British Museum Library. We have so fully given our opinions on this subject in our Bibliogram on J.-M. Quérard, that we shall not dilate upon them here. Mr. Watts has been a contributor to numerous periodicals and cyclopædias, generally, we believe, anonymously. He was appointed to the important post of Keeper of the Printed Books in the British Museum in 1866, and his chief energies have thus been devoted to the public service, the value of which literary students fully appreciate.

Wood, Mrs. Henry (q.v.), who is rather severely treated in the notice of her works, is not one whit worse than numbers of her contemporaries, only she has been found out, and the others have not, we regret to say. She is the eldest daughter of the late Mr. Thomas Price, glove manufacturer, of Worcester, where she was born about 1820. She was married, at an early age, to a gentleman connected with the shipping trade. She commenced her literary career as contributor to the New Monthly Magazine. For further particulars, see our authority, M. of T., 1868.—The Author of East Lynne. (This lady is not the Mrs. Henry Wood, author of Sir Cyrus of Stonycleft. Lond., Newby, 1867).

Wood, Rev. J. G., b. 1827, London, the son of a surgeon, at onetime chemical lecturer at the Middlesex Hospital, who afterwards removed to Oxford, where Mr. Wood was educated, at Merton College. The different appointments he has held will be found in Crockford’s Clerical Directory. He originally employed a pseudonym for any bagatelles, as he only desired to be identified with works on Natural History. We have, however, lately seen the disguise thrown off. He has distinguished himself by the production of several goodly tomes yearly since 1853, having fairly earned the title to belong to what Mr. Edward Edwards calls “the honourable craft of book-makers.” The latest work announced is his Bible Animals, 1868, for which we may safely predict an immense sale.
