An English poet born Gloucester, Eng., Aug. 23, 1849. He was variously engaged in journalism, play-writing and magazine work, but appeared more prominently as a poet. His "Book of Verses", followed by "The Song of the Sword", shows his poetic genius; his note is strongly modern, and in sympathy with the younger school of British poets. Died at Woking, Eng., July 12, 1903.
