# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Jerrold, Douglas William

​Jerrold, Douglas William (1803-1857).—Dramatist and miscellaneous writer, s. of an actor, himself appeared as a child upon the stage. From his 10th to his 12th year he was at sea. He then became apprentice to a printer, devoting all his spare time to self-education. He early began to contribute to periodicals, and in his 18th year he was engaged by the Coburg Theatre as a writer of short dramatic pieces. In 1829 he made a great success by his drama of Black-eyed Susan, which he followed up by The Rent Day, Bubbles of the Day, Time works Wonders, etc. In 1840 he became ed. of a publication, Heads of the People, to which Thackeray was a contributor, and in which some of the best of his own work appeared. He was one of the leading contributors to Punch, in which Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lectures came out, and from 1852 he ed. Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper. Among his novels are St. Giles and St. James, and The Story of a Feather. J. had a great reputation as a wit, was a genial and kindly man, and a favourite with his fellow littérateurs, who raised a fund of £2000 for his family on his death.

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Ireland, William Henry

​Ireland, William Henry (1775-1835).—Forger of Shakespeare manuscripts, s. of an antiquarian bookseller in London. He claimed to have discovered the MSS. in the house of a gentleman of fortune. The forgeries included various deeds, a Protestant confession of faith by Shakespeare, letters to Ann Hathaway, ​Southampton, and others, a new version of King Lear, and a complete drama, Vortigern and Rowena. He completely deceived his f. and various men of letters and experts, but was detected by Malone, and the representation of Vortigern on the stage completed the exposure. I. then tried novel-writing, in which he failed. He pub. a confession in regard to the forgeries, in which he asserted that his f. had no part in the imposture, but had been completely deceived by it.

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Jameson, Mrs. Anna Brownell

​Jameson, Mrs. Anna Brownell (Murphy) (1794-1860).—Writer on art, dau. of Denis B.M., a distinguished miniature painter, m. Robert Jameson, a barrister (afterwards Attorney-General of Ontario). The union, however, did not turn out happily: a separation took place, and Mrs. J. turned her attention to literature, and specially to subjects connected with art. Among many other works she produced Loves of the Poets (1829), Celebrated Female Sovereigns (1831), Beauties of the Court of Charles II. (1833), Rubens (translated from the German), Hand Book to the Galleries of Art, Early Italian Painters, Sacred and Legendary Art (1848), etc. Her works show knowledge and discrimination and, though now in many respects superseded, still retain interest and value.

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Jeffrey, Francis

​Jeffrey, Francis (1773-1850).—Critic and political writer, s. of a legal official, b. in Edinburgh, ed. at the High School there, and at Glasgow and Oxf., where, however, he remained for a few months only. Returning to Edinburgh he studied law, and was called to the Bar in 1794. Brought up as a Tory, he early imbibed Whig principles, and this, in the then political state of Scotland, together with his strong literary tendencies, long hindered his professional advancement. Gradually, however, his ability, acuteness, and eloquence carried him to the front of his profession. He was elected Dean of the Faculty of Advocates in 1829 and, on the accession to power of the Whigs in 1830, became Lord Advocate, and had a large share in passing the Reform Bill, in so far as it related to Scotland. In 1832 he was elected M.P. for Edinburgh, and was raised to the Bench as Lord Jeffrey in 1834. His literary fame rests on his work in connection with the Edinburgh Review, which he edited from its commencement in 1802 until 1829, and to which he was a constant contributor. The founding of this periodical by a group of young men of brilliant talents and liberal sympathies, among whom were Brougham, Sydney Smith, and F. Horner, constituted the opening of a new epoch in the literary and political progress of the country. J.'s contributions ranged over literary criticism, biography, politics, and ethics and, especially in respect of the first, exercised a profound influence; he was, in fact, regarded as the greatest literary critic of his age, and although his judgments have been far from universally supported either by the event or by later critics, it remains true that he probably did more than any of his contemporaries to diffuse a love of literature, and to raise the standard of public taste in such matters. A selection of his papers, made by himself, was pub. in 4 vols. in 1844 and 1853. J. was a man of brilliant conversational powers, of vast information and sparkling wit, and was universally admired and beloved for the uprightness and amiability of his character.

# A Passion of my Lord of Essex

This exists in nine manuscripts and was said to have been appended to a letter sent to Queen Elizabeth from Ireland, though it does not appear in the surviving manuscript. It may have been written prior to Essex's 1601 rebellion.
Notes
Happy were he could finish forth his fate  In some unhaunted desert, where, obscure From all society, from love and hate  Of worldly folk; then might he sleep secure; Then wake again, and ever give God praise,  Content with hip, with haws, and bramble-berry; In contemplation passing all his days,  And change of holy thoughts to make him merry; Who, when he dies, his tomb might be a bush, Where harmless Robin dwells with gentle thrush.

​EVISON. (Lieutenant, 1827.)
John Crouchley Evison entered the Navy 6 June, 1809. On 12 Dec. 1810, being then in the Entreprenante cutter, of 8 guns and 33 men, Lieut.-Commander Peter Williams, he assisted, near Malaga, in beating off, after a spirited action of four hours, in which the British sustained considerable loss, four French privateers, carrying altogether 15 guns and 170 men, one of the largest of which had made three desperate but ineffectual attempts to board. The Entreprenante subsequently, on 25 April, 1811, re-engaged, and in 15 minutes drove on shore, one of her old opponents, mounting 6 guns and 45 men. Mr. Evison, whom we afterwards find present in the Belle Poule 38, Capt. Geo. Harris, during the operations of 1814 in the Gironde, passed his examination in 1815; and, on 27 Aug. in the following year, served at the battle of Algiers on board the Albion 74, Capt. John Coode. As a Lieutenant, which rank he attained 28 April, 1827, his appointments, we find, were – 18 Oct. 1828, to the Coast Guard – 11 Oct. 1834, to the command of the Lapwing Revenue-vessel – and, 26 Sept. 1837, again to the Coast Guard. He left the latter service towards the close of 1843, and has not since been employed.
Lieut. Evison is Assistant Deputy-Governor of the Queen’s Bench Prison. He married, 6 June, 1839, Henrietta, eldest daughter of J. Spence, Esq., of Bishopwearmouth.

# A Study in Colour/Note

Note
he term "Creole" in former times used to be strictly limited to the white children of white parents born in the West Indies. In the French islands the signification has never altered, and is rigidly confined to its original meaning.
In the English colonies, however, it is now used currently as a general term for anything West Indian, animate or inanimate, English and negro, animal and vegetable alike. Nay, I have no doubt that, at the present time, even a West Indian cockroach would, had he a voice, loudly proclaim his superiority as a "Creole" cockroach over the rest of his species.
