​HAWTAYNE. (Rear Admiral, of the White, 1841. f-p., 18; h-p., 36.)
Charles Sibthorpe John Hawtayne is second son of the Rev. Wm. Hawtayne, 34 years Rector of Elstree, co. Hertford, in the early part of his life an Ensign in the 3rd Regt. of Foot Guards; and brother of the Rev. John Hawtayne, D.D., Archdeacon of Bombay.
This officer entered the Navy, 19 July, 1793, as Captain’s Servant, on board the Defence 74, Capt. Jas. Gambier, of which ship his father was then Chaplain. In Oct. 1794, after having shared in the action of 1 June, he accompanied Capt. Gambier into the Prince George 98, commanded subsequently by Capt. Sir John Orde, in the river Medway. With the exception of an attachment of a few months in 1798-9 to the Zealand 64, flag-ship at the Nore, he next, from April, 1795, until Aug. 1799, served with Capt. Wm. Grenville Lobb, on the Home and West India stations, in the Martin and Babel sloops, and Aimable and Crescent frigates. Being made Lieutenant, on 24 of the latter month, into the Espiégle sloop, Capts. Jas. Boorder and Jas. Slade, Mr. Hawtayne attended the ensuing expedition to Holland. He was afterwards appointed – 11 July, 1800, to the Greyhound 32, Capts. Chas. Ogle and Wm. Hoste, on the Mediterranean station, where his services under the ​former officer on the coast of Egypt procured him the Turkish gold medal – and 18 May, 1803, and 26 May, 1804, to the Isis 50, and Culloden 74, flagships at Newfoundland and in the East Indies of Vice-Admiral Gambier and Sir Edw. Pellew. In the early part of 1805, we find him successively nominated Acting-Captain of the Duncan frigate, and Governor, pro tempore, of the Royal Naval Hospital at Madras; the latter of which posts he resigned about Sept. in the same year. On 31 Jan. 1806, Mr. Hawtayne was promoted to the rank of Commander, and in that capacity he was next appointed, 6 May, 1807, to the Cephalus 18, in which sloop he conveyed Mr. Gambier, as Consul-General, to Lisbon, and then proceeded to the Mediterranean. He was posted, at the request of Lord Gambier, on 13 of the following Oct., but he does not appear to have again gone afloat until March, 1810, when he succeeded in obtaining an appointment to the Quebec 32, on the North Sea station, where he captured the privateers L’Imperatrice of 14 guns and 60 men, Le Renard of 6 guns and 24 men (taken in company with the Kite sloop), and L’Olympia, of 10 guns and 78 men. The Quebec being paid off in Feb. 1812, Capt. Hawtayne next joined, 15 Jan. 1816, the Scamander 42, fitting for the West India station. He exchanged, however, in the ensuing April, into the Florida 24, and until placed out of commission in 3>ec. 1818, was chiefly employed in superintending the Revenue-cruisers in the North Sea. This was his last service afloat. He attained Flag-rank 23 Nov. 1841.
The Rear-Admiral married, first, Elizabeth, second daughter of the late Geo. Griffin Stonestreet, Esq., of Clapham, High Sheriff for co. Surrey, in 1800; and secondly, in Feb. 1820, Anne, sister of the present Rear-Admiral Henry Hope, C.B. He was again left a widower in 1825.

​HAWKEY. (Lieutenant, 1843.)
Charles Hawkey entered the Navy 31 Aug. 1831; passed his examination 4 June, 1838; and, we are informed, served as Mate on board the Stromboli steam-vessel, Capt. Woodford John Williams, in the operations of 1840 against Beyrout, Sidon, and Acre. He afterwards rejoined the latter vessel when she was commanded by Capt. Wm. Louis; and, obtaining a commission 20 Nov. 1843, was next appointed, 27 Dec. following, to the Hegate steam-sloop, Capt. Jas. Paterson Bower, employed, until 1845, in the execution of various particular services. He has been successively attached, since 13 April, 1846, to the Retribution steam-frigate, and Vengeance 74, both commanded by Capt. Stephen Lushington.

​HAY. (Captain, 1819. f-p., 16; h-p., 32.)
James Hay is son of the late Jas. Hay, Esq., of Belton; great-grandson of John, first Marquess of Tweeddale; and a distant relative of the present Lord John Hay, Capt. R.N.
This officer entered the Navy, 13 Oct. 1799, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Anson 44, Capt. Philip Chas. Durham, on the Home station, where, until Nov. 1804, he further served with the same Captain, as Midshipman, in the Endymion 40, and with Capts. Jas. Athol Wood and Jas. Oswald in the Acasta 40. He then rejoined Capt. Durham in the Defiance 74, and on 1 March, 1806, after having participated in that ship in Sir Robt. Calder’s action, and in the battle of Trafalgar, was promoted to a Lieutenancy in the Electra 18, Capt. Geo. Barne Trollope, on the Leith station. Being next appointed, 11 May, 1807, to the Amaranthe 18, Capt. Edw. Pelham Brenton, he proceeded to the West Indies, where, on 13 Dec. 1808, he took command of the boats of a small squadron, and much distinguished himself by the gallant manner in which, although under a heavy fire from the enemy’s batteries and troops on the beach, he boarded and carried the French 18-gun brig Le Cigne, lying aground to the northward of St. Pierre’s, Martinique. On the subjugation of the latter island, during the operations connected with which he acted as Commander of the Amaranthe, in consequence of Capt. Brenton’s absence on shore, Mr. Hay became Signal-Lieutenant to the present Sir Geo. Cockburn in the Belleisle 74, and immediately returned to England. On again proceeding to the West Indies, in the Racoon, he joined the Glommen sloop, Capt. Chas. Pickford, under whom he continued until wrecked, and saved by the Gloire frigate, in Carlisle Bay, Barbadoes, in Nov. 1809. He was nominated, on 29 of the following Dec, to the Acting command of the Papillon 16, and in that vessel (being confirmed to her by commission dated 2 May, 1810) we find him uninterruptedly employed, on the West India, Cadiz, and Lisbon stations, until 24 April, 1815. He attained his present rank 12 Aug. 1819, and accepted the Retirement 1 Oct. 1846.
Capt. Hay is a Lieutenant of Yeomanry Cavalry, and Deputy-Lieutenant for co. Haddington. He is married and has issue three sons and one daughter. Agents – Hallett and Robinson.

# A Vision (Bowling)

A Vision claims to have been written in 1860. This text is from the 1885 publication of Sagittulae, Random Verses OCLC:25002058 digitised by Project Gutenberg.
As hard at work I trimmed the midnight lamp,  Yfilling of mine head with classic lore,  Mine hands firm clasped upon my temples damp,  Methought I heard a tapping at the door;  'Come in,' I cried, with most unearthly rore,  Fearing a horrid Dun or Don to see,  Or Tomkins, that unmitigated bore,  Whom I love not, but who alas! loves me,  And cometh oft unbid and drinketh of my tea.
 'Come in,' I rored; when suddenly there rose  A magick form before my dazzled eyes:  'Or do I wake,' I asked myself 'or doze'?  Or hath an angel come in mortal guise'?  So wondered I; but nothing mote surmise;  Only I gazed upon that lovely face,  In reverence yblent with mute surprise:  Sure never yet was seen such wondrous grace,  Since Adam first began to run his earthlie race.
 Her hands were folded on her bosom meek;  Her sweet blue eyes were lifted t'ward the skie;  Her lips were parted, yet she did not speak;  Only at times she sighed, or seemed to sigh:  In all her 'haviour was there nought of shy;  Yet well I wis no Son of Earth would dare,  To look with love upon that lofty eye;  For in her beauty there was somewhat rare,  A something that repell'd an ordinary stare.
 Then did she straight a snowycloth disclose  Of samite, which she placed upon a chair:  Then, smiling like a freshly-budding rose,  She gazed upon me with a witching air,  As mote a Cynic anchorite ensnare.  Eftsoons, as though her thoughts she could not smother,  She hasted thus her mission to declare:--  'Please, these is your clean things I've brought instead of brother,  'And if you'll pay the bill you'll much oblige my mother.'
       (1860).

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Lindsay, or Lyndsay, Sir David

​Lindsay, or Lyndsay, Sir David (1490-1555).—Scottish poet and satirist, s. of David L. of Garmylton, near Haddington, was b. either there or at The Mount in Fife, and ed. at St. Andrews. Early in life he was at the Court of James IV., and on the King's death was appointed to attend on the infant James V., whose friend and counsellor he remained, though his advice was, unhappily for his country, not always given heed to. In 1529 he was knighted and made Lyon King at Arms. He was employed on various missions to the Emperor Charles V., and to Denmark, France, and England. He was always in sympathy with the people as against the nobles and the clergy, and was their poet, with his words in their mouths. He favoured the Reformers, and was one of those who urged Knox to become a preacher. He did not, however, adhere to the reformed congregation, and d. at least nominally in the Roman Church. Yet he lashed the vices of the clergy as they had never been lashed before, and only escaped their vengeance by the protection of the King, who also condoned the severities directed against himself. His latter days were spent at The Mount, where he d. His chief writings are The Dreme, written 1528, The Complaynt to the King (1529), The Testament and Complaynt of our Soverane Lord's Papyngo (Parrot) (1530), Ane Pleasant Satyre of the Three Estaitis, A Dialogue betwixt Experience and a Courtier (1552), The Monarchy (1554), and The History of Squyer Meldrum. L. was a true poet, gifted with fancy, humour, and a powerful satiric touch and a love of truth and justice. He had a strong influence in turning the minds of the common people in favour of the Reformation.
Works ed. by Chalmers (3 vols., 1806), and D. Laing (3 vols., 1879).
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Lingard, John

​Lingard, John (1771-1851).—Historian, b. at Winchester of humble Roman Catholic parentage, was in 1782 sent to the English Coll. at Douay, whence he escaped from the revolutionaries in 1793, and returning to England, went to Crookhall Coll., near Durham, and afterwards to Ushaw. Ordained a priest in 1795, he became Vice-Pres. and Prof. of Philosophy at the latter coll. In 1806 he pub. The Antiquities of the Anglo-Saxon Church, and while a missioner at Hornby, Lancashire, began his History of England to the Accession of William and Mary (8 vols., 1819-30). In the preparation of this work L. had access to material hitherto unpub., and not available for Protestant historians, such as documents in the Vatican and other Roman Catholic sources, and was consequently able to throw new light on various parts of his subject. The work was attacked by various writers from the Protestant standpoint. L. replied to his critics with the result that it is now generally admitted that the history, while in parts coloured by the theological and political point of view of the author, is generally an impartial and valuable work, and it remains a leading authority on the Reformation period viewed from the side of the enlightened Roman Catholic priesthood. This opinion is supported by the fact that the Ultramontane party among the Roman Catholics regarded the book as a dangerous one in respect of the interests of their Church.

​Lillo, George (1693-1739).—Dramatist, of Dutch descent, was b. in London, succeeded his f. in business as a jeweller, in which he had good speed, and devoted his leisure to the composition of plays in the line of what was known as the "domestic drama." He wrote in all seven of these, among which are The London Merchant, or the History of George Barnewell, acted 1731, The Christian Hero (1735), and Fatal Curiosity (1736). He was a friend of Fielding, who said of him that "he had the spirit of an old Roman joined to the innocence of a primitive Christian."

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Linton, Mrs. Eliza Lynn

​Linton, Mrs. Eliza Lynn (1822-1898).—Novelist and miscellaneous writer, dau. of a clergyman, settled in London in 1845, and next year produced her first novel, Azeth, the Egyptian; Amymone (1848), and Realities (1851), followed. None of these had any great success, and she then joined the staff of the Morning Chronicle, and All the Year Round. In 1858 she m. W. J. Linton, an eminent wood-engraver, who was also a poet of some note, a writer upon his craft, and a Republican. In 1867 they separated in a friendly way, the husband going to America, and the wife devoting herself to novel-writing, in which she attained wide popularity. Her most successful works were The True History of Joshua Davidson (1872), Patricia Kemball (1874), and Christopher Kirkland. She was a severe critic of the "new woman."

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Lewis, Sir George Cornewall

​Lewis, Sir George Cornewall (1806-1863).—Scholar and statesman, s. of Sir Thomas F. L., a Radnorshire baronet, was ed. at Eton and Oxf. He studied law, was called to the Bar in 1831, and entered Parliament in 1847, where his intellect and character soon gained him great influence. After serving on various important commissions and holding minor offices, he became Chancellor of the Exchequer 1855-58, Home Sec. 1859-61, and War Sec. 1861-63. His official labours did not prevent his entering into profound and laborious studies, chiefly in regard to Roman history, and the state of knowledge among the ancients. In his Inquiry into the Credibility of Ancient Roman History (1855), he combated the methods and results of Niebuhr. Other works are On the Use and Abuse of Political Terms, Authority in Matters of Opinion, The Astronomy of the Ancients, and a Dialogue on the best Form of Government. The somewhat sceptical turn of his mind led him to sift evidence minutely, and the labour involved in his wide range of severe study and his public duties no doubt shortened his valuable life.

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Leyden, John

​Leyden, John (1775-1811).—Poet and Orientalist, b. at Denholm, Roxburghshire, gave early evidence of superior ability, and his f., who was a shepherd, destined him for the Church. He accordingly entered the Univ. of Edin., where he had a brilliant career, showing a special aptitude for languages and natural history. In 1800 he became a licentiate of the Church, but continued his scientific and linguistic studies, and also began to write. In 1799 he had pub. a sketch of the Discoveries and Settlements of the Europeans in Northern and Western Africa, and he contributed to Scott's Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border, and to "Monk" Lewis's Tales of Wonder. His enthusiasm for Oriental learning led to application being made on his behalf to Government for some situation which would make his acquirements available for the public service, but the only opening which could be obtained was that of a ship's surgeon. By extraordinary exertions L. qualified himself for this in a few months, and set sail for the East, after finishing his poem, Scenes of Infancy. Soon after his arrival at Madras his health gave way, and after some time passed in Prince of Wales Island he visited the Malay Peninsula, and some of the East Indian Islands, collecting vast stores of linguistic and ethnographical information, on which was founded his great Dissertation on the Indo-Persian, Indo-Chinese, and Dekkan Languages (1807). Soon after this L. was appointed a prof, in the Bengal Coll., and a little later a judge in Calcutta. In 1811 he accompanied the Governor-General, Lord Minto, to Java. His health, however, had been undermined by his almost superhuman exertions, and immediately after landing he contracted a fever, of which he d. in three days at the early age of 36. Two Oriental works translated by him, Sejârah Malâyu (Malay Annals) and Commentaries of Baber were pub. respectively in 1821 and 1826.

He took orders 1853, was Vice-Principal of Cuddesdon Theological Coll. 1854-59, Prebendary of Salisbury 1864, and Canon of St. Paul's 1870. He was also Ireland Prof. of Exegesis at Oxf. 1870-82. In 1866 he delivered his Bampton Lectures on The Divinity of Our Lord, and came to be recognised as one of the ablest and most eloquent representatives of ​the High Church party. His sermons in St. Paul's were among the leading features of the religious life of London. L. was an ardent protagonist in the various controversies of his time bearing upon ecclesiastical and moral questions.

THE RAGGED STONE
AS I was walking with my dear, my dear come back at last, The shadow of the Ragged Stone fell on us as we passed:
And if the tale be true they tell about the Ragged Stone I'll not be walking with my dear next year, nor yet alone.
And we're to wed come Michaelmas, my lovely dear and I; And we're to have a little house, and do not want to die.
But all the folk are fighting in the lands across the sea, Because the King and Counsellors went mad in Germany.
Because the King and counsellors went mad, my love and I May never have a little house before we come to die.
And if the tale be true they tell about the Ragged Stone I'll not be walking with my dear next year, nor yet alone.
