# Dictionary of National Biography, 1912 supplement/Ringer, Sydney

​RINGER, SYDNEY (1835–1910), physician, born at Norwich in 1835, was second son of John M. Ringer, a Norwich tradesman, who died when his children were very young, by his wife Harriet. His two ​brothers became successful merchants in the East. Ringer, whose simple and retiring disposition always bore the impress of severely nonconformist training in youth, began his medical education as an apprentice in Norwich, and soon after entered the medical faculty of University College in 1854, graduating M.B.London in 1860 and M.D. in 1863. He became M.R.C.P. in 1863 and in 1870 F.R.C.P. After being resident medical officer for two years (1861–2) he was appointed assistant physician to University College Hospital in 1863, physician in 1865. and consulting physician in 1900. From 1864 to 1869 he was assistant physician to the Hospital for Sick Children. At University College he was successively professor of materia medica, pharmacology, and therapeutics (1862–78), professor of the principles and practice of medicine (1878–87), and Holme professor of clinical medicine (1887–1900).
Ringer was pre-eminent in two fields of work, namely clinical medicine and physiological research; at the outset of his career he confined his energies to medicine, but when his position as a physician was established his interest in physiological problems awakened, and for thirty years he worked incessantly at them both. He was an admirable clinical teacher and physician, but was more widely known as the author of 'A Handbook of Therapeutics' (1869), which reached its 13th edition in 1897. His experimental work covered a large area, some of the most important researches being into the influence of organic salts, especially calcium, on the circulation and beat of the heart; 'Ringer's solution' is widely known in connection with experiments on animals' hearts. He was also author of 'The Temperature of the Body as a Means of Diagnosis of Phthisis, Measles, and Tuberculosis' (1865; 2nd edit. 1873), of articles on parotitis, measles, and sudamina in Reynolds's 'System of Medicine' (vol. i. 1886), and of numerous papers in the 'Journal of Physiology.'
He was elected F.R.S. in 1885, and was an honorary member of the New York Medical Society and a corresponding member of the Academy of Medicine of Paris. He died of apoplexy on 14 Oct. 1910 at Lastingham, Yorkshire, and was buried there. He married Ann, daughter of Henry Darley of Aldby Park near York, and had issue two daughters.

SONNET LXI.
SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN IN AMERICA.
ILL-omen'd bird! whose cries portentous float  O'er yon savannah with the mournful wind; While, as the Indian hears your piercing note,  Dark dread of future evil fills his mind; Wherefore with early lamentation break  The dear delusive visions of repose? Why from so short felicity awake  My wounded senses to substantial woes? O'er my sick soul thus rous'd from transient rest,  Pale Superstition sheds her influence drear, And to my shuddering fancy would suggest  Thou com'st to speak of every woe I fear, Ah! Reason little o'er the soul prevails, When, from ideal ill, the enfeebled spirit fails!

WRITTEN ON PASSING BY MOON-LIGHT THROUGH. A VILLAGE, WHILE THE GROUND WAS COVERED WITH SNOW.
WHILE thus I wander, cheerless and unblest,  And find in change of place but change of pain; In tranquil sleep the village labourers rest,  And taste that quiet I pursue in vain! Hush'd is the hamlet now, and faintly gleam  The dying embers, from the casement low Of the thatch'd cottage; while the Moon's wan beam  Lends a new lustre to the dazzling snow. O'er the cold waste, amid the freezing night,  Scarce heeding whither, desolate I stray; For me, pale Eye of Evening, thy soft light  Leads to no happy home; my weary way Ends but in sad vicissitudes of care: I only fly from doubt—to meet despair!

ON PASSING OVER A DREARY TRACT OF COUNTRY, AND NEAR THE RUINS OF A DESERTED CHAPEL, DURING A TEMPEST.
SWIFT fleet the billowy clouds along the sky,  Earth seems to shudder at the storm aghast; While only beings as forlorn as I,  Court the chill horrors of the howling blast. Even round yon crumbling walls, in search of food,  The ravenous Owl foregoes his evening flight, And in his cave, within the deepest wood,  The Fox eludes the tempest of the night. But to my heart congenial is the gloom  Which hides me from a World I wish to shun; That scene where Ruin saps the mouldering tomb,  Suits with the sadness of a wretch undone. Nor is the deepest shade, the keenest air, Black as my fate, or cold as my despair.

SONG.
FROM THE FRENCH.
I.
"AH! say," the fair Louisa cried,  "Say where the abode of Love is found?" Pervading Nature, I replied,  His influence spreads the world around. When Morning's arrowy beams arise,  He sparkles in the enlivening ray, And blushes in the glowing skies  When rosy Evening fades away.
II. The Summer winds that gently blow,  The flocks that bleat along the glades, The nightingale, that soft and low,  With music fills the listening shades:
The murmurs of the silver surf  All echo Love's enchanting notes, From Violets lurking in the turf,  His balmy breath thro' æther floats.
III. From perfumed flowers and dewy leaves  Delicious scents he bids exhale, He smiles amid Autumnal sheaves,  And clothes with green the grassy vale; But when that throne the God assumes  Where his most powerful influence lies, 'Tis on Louisa's cheek he blooms,  And lightens from her radiant eyes!

ELEGIAC SONNETS.
SONNET LX.
TO AN AMIABLE GIRL.
MIRANDA! mark where shrinking from the gale,  Its silken leaves yet moist with early dew, That fair faint flower, the Lily of the Vale,  Droops its meek head, and looks, methinks, like you! Wrapp'd in a shadowy veil of tender green,  Its snowy bells a soft perfume dispense, And bending as reluctant to be seen,  In simple loveliness it sooths the sense. With bosom bared to meet the garish day,  The glaring Tulip, gaudy, undismay'd, Offends the eye of taste; that turns away  To seek the Lily in her fragrant shade. With such unconscious beauty, pensive, mild, Miranda charms—Nature's soft modest child.

THE GOSSAMER
O'ER faded heath-flowers spun, or thorny furze,  The filmy Gossamer is lightly spread; Waving in every sighing air that stirs,  As Fairy fingers had entwined the thread: A thousand trembling orbs of lucid dew  Spangle the texture of the fairy loom, As if soft Sylphs, lamenting as they flew,  Had wept departed Summer's transient bloom: But the wind rises, and the turf receives  The glittering web:—So, evanescent, fade Bright views that Youth with sanguine heart believes:  So vanish schemes of bliss, by Fancy made; Which, fragile as the fleeting dreams of morn, Leave but the wither'd heath, and barren thorn!

SONNET LXIV.
WRITTEN AT BRISTOL IN THE SUMMER OF 1794.
HERE from the restless bed of lingering pain  The languid sufferer seeks the tepid wave, And feels returning health and hope again  Disperse "the gathering shadows of the grave!" And here romantic rocks that boldly swell,  Fringed with green woods, or stain'd with veins of ore, Call'd native Genius forth, whose Heaven-taught skill  Charm'd the deep echos of the rifted shore. But tepid waves, wild scenes, or summer air,  Restore they palsied Fancy, woe-deprest? Check they the torpid influence of Despair,  Or bid warm Health re-animate the breast; Where Hope's soft visions have no longer part, And whose sad inmate is—a broken heart?

WRITTEN AT THE SAME PLACE, ON SEEING A SEAMAN RETUNR WHO HAD BEEN IMPRISONED AT ROCHFORT.
CLOUDS, gold and purple, o'er the westering ray  Threw a bright veil, and catching lights between,  Fell on the glancing sail, that we had seen With soft, but adverse winds, throughout the day Contending vainly: as the vessel nears,  Increasing numbers hail it from the shore; Lo! on the deck a pallid form appears,  Half wondering to behold himself once more Approach his home—And now he can discern  His cottage thatch amid surrounding trees;  Yet, trembling, dreads lest sorrow or disease Await him there, embittering his return: But all he loves are safe; with heart elate, Tho' poor and plunder'd, he absolves his fate!

TO DR. PARRY OF BATH, WITH SOME BOTANIC DRAWINGS WHICH HAD BEEN MADE SOME YEARS.
IN happier hours, ere yet so keenly blew  Adversity's cold blight, and bitter storms,  Luxuriant Summer's evanescent forms, And Spring's soft blooms with pencil light I drew: But as the lovely family of flowers  Shrink from the bleakness of the Northern blast,  So fail from present care and sorrow past The slight botanic pencil's mimic powers— Nor will kind Fancy even by Memory's aid,  Her visionary garlands now entwine; Yet while the wreaths of Hope and Pleasure fade,  Still is one flower of deathless blossom mine, That dares the lapse of Time, and Tempest rude, The unfading Amaranth of Gratitude.

SONNET LXVI.
WRITTEN IN A TEMPESTUOUS NIGHT, ON THE COAST OF SUSSEX.
THE night-flood rakes upon the stony shore;  Along the rugged cliffs and chalky caves Mourns the hoarse Ocean, seeming to deplore  All that are buried in his restless waves— Mined by corrosive tides, the hollow rock  Falls prone, and rushing from its turfy height, Shakes the broad beach with long-resounding shock,  Loud thundering on the ear of sullen Night; Above the desolate and stormy deep,  Gleams the wan Moon, by floating mist opprest; Yet here while youth, and health, and labour sleep,  Alone I wander—Calm untroubled rest,  "Nature's soft nurse," deserts the sigh-swoln breast, And shuns the eyes, that only make to weep!

This city is now a town of 10,000 inhabitants, with remains of walls built in the twelfth century A.D. In 1855, the sarcophagus of Eshmanezer was discovered. From a Phoenician inscription on its lid, it appears that he was a "king of the Sidonians," probably in the third century B.C., and that his mother was a priestess of Ashtoreth, "the goddess of the Sidonians." In this inscription Baal is mentioned as the chief god of the Sidonians.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1927 supplement/Hacker, Arthur

​HACKER, ARTHUR (1858–1919), painter, born in London 25 September 1858, was the second son of Edward Hacker, line engraver. He became a student at the Royal Academy schools in 1876 and continued his studies in Paris in the atelier of Léon Bonnat (1880–1881). When he was only nineteen one of his studies was hung at Burlington House; but his first Academy contribution to attract general attention was ‘Her Daughter's Legacy’, a scene from peasant life, which he exhibited in 1881. His ‘Relics of the Brave’, exhibited in 1883, was immediately purchased by an American for the town of Savannah, Georgia. About this time Hacker, together with his friend, the painter Solomon J. Solomon, went for a five months' trip to Spain and Morocco, and in after years Hacker repeatedly visited the north of Africa. In 1887 he exhibited ‘Pelagia and Philammon’, his first more ambitious essay in the rendering of the nude (now in the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool); to 1890 and 1891 respectively belong ‘Vae Victis: Sack of Morocco by the Almohades’, and ‘Christ and the Magdalen’; while 1892 saw the exhibition of ‘The Annunciation’, which was purchased by the trustees of the Chantrey fund and is now in the National Galley of British Art at Millbank (Tate Gallery). In 1893 Hacker exhibited ‘Circe’, which achieved great popular success, and ‘The Sleep of the Gods’. The following year he was elected A.R.A., and sixteen years later (1910) R.A.
The work of Hacker may be divided into three groups. One is formed by his more important subject-pictures, of which several have been mentioned, the best known being his ‘Annunciation’, an arresting composition, somewhat melodramatic in conception, and showing the artist obviously under the influence of the more conventional type of contemporary French painting. Another notable group comprises his London street scenes, in which he favoured soft and misty effects of atmosphere; of these his diploma piece, ‘Wet Night, Piccadilly Circus’ (1911), is an example. Finally, Hacker was very frequently employed as a portrait painter, especially towards the end of his career. Among his sitters may be mentioned Sir John Brunner (twice), Sir Frank Short, and the sculptors Edward Onslow Ford and Sir William Goscombe John. Marked at all times by considerable facility of execution, brilliant in colouring, and popular in its sentimental appeal, the work of Hacker can, however, scarcely be regarded as being of a very profound interest.
Hacker married in 1907 Lilian, third daughter of Edward Price-Edwards. They had no children. He suffered from heart trouble, and was found dead on the doorstep of his house in Cromwell Road, South Kensington, on 12 November 1919. He bequeathed £500 to the benefactors' fund of the Royal Academy.
