BERNARD (H. H.) Ph. Dr., _allonym_ [Rev. GEORGE SKINNER, of Cambridge].

Cambridge Free Thoughts and Letters on Bibliolatry, translated from Lessing. Lond., _Trübner_, 1862.

We have it from authority that Dr. Bernard never wrote one word
of this work. It was, in fact, published after his death. We
have also been informed that Mr. Skinner had the permission of
a relative of Dr. Bernard to use his (Dr. B.’s) name. We do not
understand what right the relative had to give the permission.

Student, Lond., 1839, and The Book of Job as Expounded to his

150 copies were printed, of which more than 130 were burnt
at Smeeton’s fire. The 16 plates are quite as unique as the
text.--M. S. Note by George Daniel, in his own copy.

BOWER (Archibald) _plagiarist_.

By the Author of Six Letters ... illustrated [J. Douglas] 1757.

Dr. Douglas, who exposed the Lauder forgeries, charged Bower
with a piece of shameful plagiarism, appropriating to himself
the work of De Tillemont, a French historian, without notice or
acknowledgment. In order that there might be no mistake, Dr.
Douglas printed a few chapters of De Tillemont, page by page,
with Bower, and thus triumphantly exposed the fraud. Twenty
pamphlets were written in a controversy which followed.

article (see Biog. Index), to Chalmers’ Gen. Biog. Dict. 1812.

GRANT (James), novelist.

Memoirs of James Marquis of Montrose, K.G., Captain-General of Scotland. By James Grant, author of The Romance of War, etc. With illustrations. Lond., _Routledge_, 1858; 8vo; viii, 396.

The _Athenæum_, in showing this work to be little more than a
wretched, badly written _plagiarism_ of “Memoirs of Montrose,
by Mark Napier,” begins with these observations:--“It is time
that some inquiry were made into the ethics of cheap publishing.
As far as such a movement furnishes (without the infringement
of private rights) good literature at a moderate price to the
public, every sensible person will give it approbation and
encouragement. But is the pretence of cheapness and free use of
that favourite term ‘the million’ to justify practices which
are condemned in all trades, and in literature are peculiarly
dangerous. Is a dear book, of whatever merit, to be looked on
simply as raw material for the manufacture of cheap books?

“The plain fact is, that Mr. Grant has borrowed from his
predecessor all that he dared, and ignored his existence as much
as he could.”--Part I., 1858, p. 364.

H.

HAMPDEN (John) _allonym_ [Lord NUGENT].

True and Faithful Relation of a Worthy Discourse between Colonel John Hampden and Colonel Oliver Cromwell. Preceded by an Explanatory Preface.

One of those clever imitations of the political and oratorical
literature of the 17th century, which could only have been
written by one to whom its books and men were familiar, and being
put forth (of course anonymously) in the quaint old-faced letter
of its period, Lord Nugent took great delight in the success
with which he was able, by means of a copy elaborately stained
with tobacco-juice, to pass it off upon his uncle, Mr. Thomas
Grenville, no indifferent judge of such matters, as a genuine
piece of Commonwealth literature.--_Memoir_, p. lxix. See J. F.

HEINFETTER (Herman) _pseud._ [PARKER, of Tunbridge Wells].

This gentleman has been in the habit, for the last twenty years,
of putting advertisements over the leader of the _Athenæum_.
They are upon religious controversial subjects, generally being
in the form of what, in slang, would be a “poser” for our
clergy. He must have spent several hundreds of pounds in these
advertisements. No one has turned up with sufficient talent or
money to answer him after his own fashion, so Mr. Heinfetter
has it pretty nearly all his own way. He always dates from 17,
Fenchurch Street.

The Ingoldsby Letters in Reply, &c., 1st, 2nd, and 3rd vols., 2nd edit., 1860; 3rd edit., 1862-63.

Our omitting this pseudonym in the body of the work is curious,
and reminds us also of one of the greatest plagiarists of the day
having escaped our notice, until too late for insertion.

K.

KIRBY (C.) publisher.

In 1803 Hogg, the publisher, filed a Bill to restrain Kirby from
pirating one of his works. It appears that Hogg was proprietor
of a work published in monthly numbers, commencing in August,
1802, under the title of “The Wonderful Magazine,” by William
Granger, Esq., that name being (according to the Bill), as is
usual in works of that description, inserted in the title-page,
merely as the nominal author; and, under an arrangement for
that purpose, the name of the defendant, Kirby, was used as
the publisher, and the numbers were sold at his shop upon
commission, but the publication was under the management and
at the expense of the plaintiff. The undertaking proceeded in
this manner until the publication of the fifth number, when a
dispute arose in consequence of an alteration in the title. Kirby
refused to permit his name to appear to the work any longer.
In December a final settlement of accounts took place, and the
plaintiff circulated hand-bills, dated 20th Dec., stating that
the succeeding numbers would be published by him, and the 6th
No. would be published by him on Friday next, and that number
was accordingly published by him on the 31st of December. On
the 1st January, 1803, the 1st No. of a periodical work was
published by the defendants Kirby and Scott, under a similar
title, described as a “New Series Improved.” One of the arguments
used by the defendants was that the plaintiff was not entitled
to protection, as he, on his title-page, practised an imposition
on the public by using the name of Granger, who did not exist.
On the other hand, it was contended that the assumption of a
fictitious name could not be considered a fraud upon the public,
because it had to be done by “the most respectable authors.” But
Lord Eldon said he had considerable difficulty as to the false
colours under which the original publication appeared. Though it
was very usual, he could not represent it to his mind otherwise
than as something excessively like a fraud on the public. Kirby’s
publication was restrained as a _piracy_ and a breach of faith.

Which, we suppose, means that these pretended letters are an
imposture, in as much as they pretended to come from a person of
rank, while in reality they are the work of some literary hack.
It would by no means be the first that issued under Colburn’s

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.

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. _Lascelles,

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._

novel, “Emmeline,” published posthumously in 1819, we learn that
she was the only daughter of Colonel Thomas Balfour, of Ewick.
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

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.”
