"The information is everywhere very full, great care

having been taken to collect large masses of statistics
from various sources, and yet, while this is so, the author
is not lost behind a mass of opinions and observations of
others, but the practical aim of the work is throughout
kept in view, and we are conscious to a very large extent
of reading the outcome of a large and wide experience.

novelist W. Harrison Ainsworth, infra; b. 1807, at

Exeter, Eng.; studied medicine in Edinburgh, and re-

ceived the diploma of the Royal College of Surgeons.

In 1835 he was attached as physician and naturalist to

Chesney's Euphrates Expedition, and in 1838 he was

sent by the Geographical Society and the Society for the

Diffusion of Christian Knowledge into Asia Minor to

explore the river Halys, and to investigate the condition

of the Christians in Kurdistan. Returning to London

in 1841, he devoted himself to literary work, and was

proprietor and editor for a time of the New Monthly

Magazine. 1. Illustrated Universal Gazetteer, Lon.,

"It is an antiquary's note-book, not a graphic narrative

of the expedition itself... Nevertheless, it is not a small

service to have gathered together from a multitude of

sources, not always easily accessible, a mass of topographi-

cal information and materials for antiquarian debate on

a vast number of ancient sites, the importance and interest

of which are alike beyond dispute."-Ath., No. 3191.

Ainsworth, William Harrison, [ante, vol. i.,

add..] 1805-1882, made his first appearance in literature

while still in his teens, and continued writing up to the

time of his death. The authorship of "Sir John

Chiverton," (erroneously printed "John Cheverton" in

vol. i.,) a novel which appeared anonymously in 1826,

and which was praised by Sir Walter Scott, was for

forty years attributed to Ainsworth, but has since

been claimed by Mr. John Partington Aston. Mr. W.

E. A. Axon, in his notice of Ainsworth, (Dictionary of

National Biography, vol. i.,) surmises that the book may

have been a joint production of the two young men.

Ainsworth was author in part of a volume called

December Tales, published in 1823, which with others

of his earlier works has long since been scarce and out

of print. In 1840 he succeeded Dickens as editor of

Bentley's Miscellany, in which magazine Jack Shep-

pard had appeared during the previous year, with

illustrations by Cruikshank. In 1842 he established

Ainsworth's Magazine, which came to an end in 1853.

He was also for many years editor and proprietor of the

New Monthly Magazine. He was very popular in

society, and his home at Kensal Manor House was

famous for its hospitality, Dickens, Thackeray, Jerrold,

and other literary men being among his guests. In 1881

a banquet was given to him at Manchester, at which the

mayor of the city, in a speech proposing the health of

the author, gave the following statistics illustrating his

popularity in his native town: "In our Manchester

public free libraries there are two hundred and fifty vol-

umes of Mr. Ainsworth's different works. During the

last twelve months those volumes have been read seven

thousand six hundred and sixty times, mostly by the

artisan class of readers. And this means that twenty

volumes of his works are being perused in Manchester

by readers of the free libraries every day all the year

through." The editor of Men of the Reign informs

us that "Mr. Ainsworth's writings are still popular in

America." It may be doubted, however, whether their

circulation among the readers throughout the United

States is comparable to that which, as we have seen,

they enjoy in a single town in England. The following

alphabetical list of his productions-of which only a

few, and these, for the most part, without dates, are men-

tioned in vol. i.—is believed to be complete. Auriol, and

other Tales, 1880. Ballads, Romantic, Fantastic, and

"The charm of Ainsworth's novels is not at all depend-

ent upon the analysis of motives or subtle description of

character. Of this he has little or nothing; but he

realizes vividly a scene or incident, and conveys the im-

pression with great force and directness to the reader's

mind."-W. E. A. AXON: Dictionary of National Biography,
