HALLIWELL, James Orchard, F.R.S., &c., Shakespeare scholar,
author of numerous scientific, bibliographic, and other works,
b. about 1820, Eng., son of Thomas H., of Sloane-st., Chelsea.
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._

forsook him, and after a short partnership with Mr. Chatterton,
he retired from the management. Mr. Falconer writes little,

PARRY, John Humffreys, the father of Mr. Serjeant Parry, called

PENROSE, Elizabeth, of school history renown, under her pseudonym
of _Mrs. Markham_. For forty years this name has been popular,
and bids fair to endure double that time. 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

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

his essays, Month. Mag., 1817 and 1818), a folio chart; 8. A
Morning’s Walk from London to Kew, 1817, 8vo, 423; 9. 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;

the Common Sense Philosophy relative to the Proximate Causes of
Material Phenomena, Lond., Sherwood, 1824, 8vo; 11. 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.

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

drawing that his father was induced to send him to London that he
might study there. 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. It
is to him that the nation owes many valuable Egyptian antiquities

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.

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. _The Author of
Sir Victor’s Choice._

WARD. See HOWE.
WARD, R. P., b. 1765, Spain -1846, youngest son of John W., a
merchant of Spain. Educated at Westminster School and at Oxford.
Called to the Bar, I. T., 1790, but relinquished the profession
in 1802 to become Under-secretary of State in the Foreign
Department, and he afterwards held other official appointments.
He is author of numerous works of fiction and others. Life by G.

1825. _The Author of Tremaine._

Queechy._--_Wetherell._
WARTER, Rev. J. W., b. 1806, England, son-in-law of Robert
Southey. _Oldacre, C._
WATERS, C. We believe this name to be a pseudonym. Under it have
been written a great number of “Detective Police Officer” class
of tales, which, if not highly creditable, are highly lucrative.
_The Author of a Skeleton in Every House._
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. See Men of
the Time, 1868. _P. P. C. R._
