Easton, Md.; was a slave on the plantation of Col. Edward Lloyd, his mother being a negro slave and his father a white man. He escaped in 1838 and went to New Bedford, Mass., where he changed his name from Lloyd to Douglass. He became an agent of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, and in 1845 went to Europe and lectured on slavery in the principal towns of Great Britain. In 1846 he was manumitted according to law through money subscribed in England. He was U.S. marshal for the District of Columbia 1876-81, and afterwards recorder of deeds for the District, and in 1889 was appointed minister to Hayti. 1.

He was a student in divinity for two years. In 1867 he obtained by examination a professorship of oratory in the University of Dublin, where he was afterwards elected professor of English literature. He has contributed to the leading English reviews and weekly periodicals. 1. Shakspere: a Critical Study of his Mind and Art, Lon., 1875, 8vo; 5th ed., 1880.

"There can be no doubt that he has an unusual insight into the broader as well as the nicer meanings of Shakspeare. In a manner which may be termed an honest method, as wholesome as sweet,' he traces by some certain and some supposed steps the growth of Shakspeare's faculties and the course of their development, taking the plays now singly, now in groups, and assigning them to their place in the order which he has found for their creation." -Sat. Rev., xxxix. 351.

"Professor Dowden's study of the man Shakspere seems to me the best work of the kind that has been written in sound induction, out of which no more is drawn than has our language. The great body of the work is built on

been put into it."-R. SIMPSON: Acad., vii. 211.

2. Poems, Lon., 1876, p. 8vo; 2d ed., 1877. "Professor Dowden is... an echo, not a voice. His verses remind us in turns of Milton, who is a favourite model, of Mr. Matthew Arnold, of Wordsworth, and of other poets, but lack any strongly-asserted individual gift or quality."-Ath., No. 2579.

accept them or not, must be admitted to be of much weight "Generally Professor Dowden's criticisms, whether we as far as they go; and that, in the direction of stimulating thought, is ... a very long way."-GEORGE SAINTSBURY, Acad., xiii. 405.

Dowden's critiques without discovering that the power of "It appears to us impossible to read many pages of Mr. the commonplace is ubiquitous and inevitable, and that we vainly seek to escape from it by flying from the world's common objects and interests. For there is a commonplace of culture and refinement yet more tyrannical than it into a fine art."-Sat. Rev., xlv. 798. that which we have left, and the critics are fast elevating

6. Southey, ("English Men of Letters,") Lon., 1880,

p. 8vo.

"To wide knowledge of English literature, not confined to favourite authors, but extending over the whole field, Mr. Dowden adds a trained insight into real excellence which enables him to take a just measure of his author, neither unduly exalting him, nor conceding too much to the contemporary disparagement from which his author suffers. And his narrative is enriched by a calm and mel

lowed tone of reflection which throws a charm over even the commoner incidents."-Spectator, liii. 403.

7. (Ed.) The Correspondence of Robert Southey and Caroline Bowles; to which are added Correspondence with Shelley, and Southey's Dream: with an Introduction, Dublin, 1881, 8vo.

"Professor Dowden, than whom no man living, except perhaps Sir Henry Taylor, could be more fitted to execute the delicate task, has done his work of editing with all the tact and taste which can be wished. ... It does not, indeed, shed any new light upon the character or career of Southey,-no new light was needed there,-but it gives a charming miniature study of one of those rare women of sympathetic nature who interest us so much as the satellites of genius. Caroline Bowles demands half our attention in this book, and the other half is claimed by the singular relations between Southey and Shelley which are now for the first time revealed."-Sat. Rev., liii. 20.

"The reason why Southey's correspondence with the lady who eventually became his second wife has waited so long for publication must be taken to be that which, as Professor Dowden tells us, has induced on the present occasion the printing of a mere selection from it, namely, the voluminous correspondence of Southey which already exists in type. As Miss Bowles got more familiar with her patron she dropped something of the adoring attitude, developed a pleasant wit, and frequently manifested decided opinions of her own; while Southey on his side fell into the delightful vein of gossiping letter-writing which he could work when he chose, and which shows not the Southey of the Quarterly Review,' but the Southey of 'The Doctor."-Ath., No. 2826.

8. (Ed.) The Sonnets of William Shakspere, Lon., 1881, sm. 8vo; new ed., 1882.

"Professor Dowden's is the only edition of Shakspere's sonnets with notes sufficiently full, yet not overdone. It is the best as containing the soundest views and most efficiently explaining the relations of the Sonnets to one another and to Shakspere."-F. J. FURNIVALL: Acad., xx. 154.

9. The Life of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lon., 1886, 2

vols. 8vo.

"At last the world is in possession of that complete life of Shelley, sanctioned by his family and embodying their hitherto carefully reserved materials, which has often been asked for, and sometimes demanded with a certain degree of impatience. . . . By the Shelley family, the Erdaile fainily, (Shelley's grandchildren through his first daughter, Ianthe,) Mr. Forman, Mr. Slack, (in respect of the curious and important Hitchener Correspondence,) and others, unknown or imperfectly known; and he has made good use of it. He writes in the spirit which befits a biographer of Shelley. He believes in Shelley's poetry and his genius; discerns that his character was in some respects singularly beautiful, and his opinions ardent and sincere, if extreme; is willing to believe in his general goodness if he can find adequate grounds for doing so; and scrutinizes the evidence in the hope of finding such grounds, but with a reluctant willingness to give judgment against him on particular points if that proves to be the only course consistent with the evidence. He dwells on nothing invidiously, but adversely on various things. His essential though sympathetic moderation of tone is matched by his equability of language: he avoids controversy as far as possible. and is never overheated. On occasion he exhibits an incident or describes a scene with effect; but he does not strive to be incisive, or to stimulate the reader to strong and one-sided conclusions. The book is readable rather than powerful or pictorial."-Ath., No. 3085.

Professor Dowden has been furnished with matter hitherto

"Mr. Dowden has given us such a picture of the man as for fidelity, literalness, and fuiness of detail may never again be equalled. He has done everything for Shelley that industry, insight, faithfulness, and loyalty could do. But the total effect produced is not invigorating to the better part of our sympathies. Notwithstanding Shelley's earnestness, his sincerity, his unselfishness, his sympathy, his tenderness, and, above all, his inexpressible charm, the story of his life is a splendid performance that is not calculated to do the world much good."-T. HALL CAINE: Acad., xxx. 373.

10. Transcripts and Studies, Lon., 1888, p. 8vo. "Occasionally Mr. Dowden allows the wealth of decorative language of which he is a master to get the better of him and serve as a substitute for thought; but this is not often, and for the most part his criticism is as thoughtful as it is happily expressed."-Spectator, lxii. 204.

"The best of Sir Francis Doyle's reminiscences date from a period prior to 1846. . . . He is out of sympathy with the political life of the present day, and the tone of some of discordant. But, taking the volume as a whole, the remihis later recollections and opinions is old-fashioned, if not niscences are those of a genial man of wide culture and broad sympathies; and they form a collection of anecdotes which, as the production of a single man, is unrivalled in interest, in variety, and in novelty."-Ath., No. 3077.

"The aim of this book,' he says, 'is to describe and explain the process by which a few scattered colonies along the Atlantic seaboard grew into that vast Confederate Republic, the United States of America.'. . . It is a genuine pleasure, and rare as it is genuine, to read a work of a his torical character which, like this,... is serious without being dull, and animated without showing partisanship."Spectator, Ivi. 86.

"Mr. Doyle's stand-point is not that of a sociologist, but of a student of institutional history. . . . He has enjoyed remarkable facilities for examining colonial documents preserved in the State Paper Office in London. . . . Mr. Doyle has viewed the English side of America, and he is consequently better able than most Americans to appre ciate the principle of English continuity in our colonial constitution."-Nation, xxxvi. 367.

"The thoroughness of Mr. Doyle's researches is con wherever contemporary MSS. materials exist, they have spicuous in every chapter of this history. Whenever and been carefully studied. In their absence the most reliable authorities have been consulted, and, when necessary, compared, so as to arrive at the nearest possible truth; and all this, we think, has been done with judgment and success."-W. NOEL SAINSBURY: Acad., xxxi. 121.

"He has gone over the field so often travelled in part by our specialists, and so thoroughly explored as a whole by Dr. Palfrey, and he gives us an admirable résumé of the facts and of the impressions made by them upon the mind of an educated Englishman. These two volumes are attractive in style, full of careful research, impartial in judgment, and doubly valuable as giving the opinions of one not blinded to our faults by ties of birth or education."-Nation, xlv. 489. "We are heartily of opinion that, despite the value of what scholars on this side of the Atlantic have written about the Puritan colonies in America, this work of Doyle's excels all."-Critic, viii. 228.
