Handbook of fictitious names

Part 16

Chapter 163,609 wordsPublic domain

This gentleman has been in the habit, for the last twenty years, of putting advertisements over the leader of the _Athenæum_. They are upon religious controversial subjects, generally being in the form of what, in slang, would be a “poser” for our clergy. He must have spent several hundreds of pounds in these advertisements. No one has turned up with sufficient talent or money to answer him after his own fashion, so Mr. Heinfetter has it pretty nearly all his own way. He always dates from 17, Fenchurch Street.

Our omitting this pseudonym in the body of the work is curious, and reminds us also of one of the greatest plagiarists of the day having escaped our notice, until too late for insertion.

KIRBY (C.) publisher.

In 1803 Hogg, the publisher, filed a Bill to restrain Kirby from pirating one of his works. It appears that Hogg was proprietor of a work published in monthly numbers, commencing in August, 1802, under the title of “The Wonderful Magazine,” by William Granger, Esq., that name being (according to the Bill), as is usual in works of that description, inserted in the title-page, merely as the nominal author; and, under an arrangement for that purpose, the name of the defendant, Kirby, was used as the publisher, and the numbers were sold at his shop upon commission, but the publication was under the management and at the expense of the plaintiff. The undertaking proceeded in this manner until the publication of the fifth number, when a dispute arose in consequence of an alteration in the title. Kirby refused to permit his name to appear to the work any longer. In December a final settlement of accounts took place, and the plaintiff circulated hand-bills, dated 20th Dec., stating that the succeeding numbers would be published by him, and the 6th No. would be published by him on Friday next, and that number was accordingly published by him on the 31st of December. On the 1st January, 1803, the 1st No. of a periodical work was published by the defendants Kirby and Scott, under a similar title, described as a “New Series Improved.” One of the arguments used by the defendants was that the plaintiff was not entitled to protection, as he, on his title-page, practised an imposition on the public by using the name of Granger, who did not exist. On the other hand, it was contended that the assumption of a fictitious name could not be considered a fraud upon the public, because it had to be done by “the most respectable authors.” But Lord Eldon said he had considerable difficulty as to the false colours under which the original publication appeared. Though it was very usual, he could not represent it to his mind otherwise than as something excessively like a fraud on the public. Kirby’s publication was restrained as a _piracy_ and a breach of faith.

The internal evidence of their genuineness is so strong, and must be so satisfactory to the minds of all who peruse them with the attention they deserve, that the Editor is content,” etc.

Which, we suppose, means that these pretended letters are an imposture, in as much as they pretended to come from a person of rank, while in reality they are the work of some literary hack. It would by no means be the first that issued under Colburn’s auspices.

INDEX OF AUTONYMS.

It will perhaps be useful to some of our readers who may desire further information with regard to the authors herein mentioned, that such may be found in Watts’ Bibliotheca Britannica, which contains an entry of almost every book published up to about 1820: after this, Lowndes’ Bibliographer’s Manual, by Bohn, should be searched, and for religious pub. Darling’s Cyclo. will be found useful; The English Catalogue, 1864; Stevens’ Cat. of American Books; and Roorback and Trübner’s American Bib. Guides. Allibone’s Dict. of Eng. Lit. to 1859 will generally inform the reader whether an author is in any of these. We frequently refer to Men of the Time when an author is given in that work: our reference by no means implies that our remarks are taken from that useful publication. The number of names occurring in this work, not in any of the above, is remarkable. Several of our biographies are from original sources. We must acknowledge the very great assistance we have received from the Rev. C. Hole’s Brief Biographical Dictionary.

BARNARD, Mrs. J. _Claribel._

BARRETT, E. S. A man of great promise and talent, and author of numerous works, chiefly anon. or pseudm., a complete list of which we have attempted, as none is to be found elsewhere. His works seem to be in comparative obscurity, doubtless in consequence of the early death of the author. Books are like children: they require fostering and bringing up with the greatest care: to give them birth is not alone sufficient. Fortunate, therefore, is a departed author whose works obtain intelligent editing. He was of Irish birth, though educated in England, and a student of the Middle Temple, but his time was eventually devoted to literature, for at the age of twenty-one he published two satirical poems--see _Polypus_ and _Hogg_ (_C._); but even while at school he wrote a play, with prologue and epilogue, which was performed before the master and his family with so much success that the master prohibited any future dramatic performances, fearing that he might incur blame for encouraging too much taste for the theatre. (N. & Q. 1 S. viii.) The Comet, a mock newspaper, 1808 [anon?]; The Tarantula, or Dance of Fools, a Squib, 1809 [anon?] is also attributed to him; Woman, a poem, 1810, published, as he says in his preface to the 2nd edit., 1818, “not at the ‘request of friends,’ but contrary to their opinion, ... it met with no success”; The Heroine, or Adventures of [a fair romance-reader, 1st edit.] Cherubina, (motto) “L’Histoire d’une Femme est toujours un Roman,” 1813. 2nd edit., 1814. It is in letters, and the Biog. Dict., 1816, says, has been pronounced not inferior in wit and humour to “Tristram Shandy.” “The absurdities of a school of fiction, at that time in high favour, are happily ridiculed; and a novel which had great success in its day, and is still to be found in some of the circulating libraries, called _Six Weeks at Long’s_” (N. & Q. 1 S. viii. 423). “My wife! what a wife?” a comedy ... performed at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, 1815. See _The Author of all the Talents_. In private, his worth and attractive manners are said to have gained him the esteem of his friends. He died, 1820, in Glamorganshire, of a rapid decline, occasioned by the bursting of a blood vessel, when in about the thirty-sixth year of his age. _Hogg, C._--_Polypus._--_The Author of All the Talents._

We have only been able to give two of her pseudonyms. Whether through her own or her publisher’s fault, we cannot tell, but somehow or other Miss Braddon has frequently been in literary “hot water.” It seems to be the privilege of a certain class of novelists. _Lascelles, Lady._--_The Author of Lady Audley’s Secret._

A collected edition of her works, with a portrait and a general preface giving a minute description of the composition of each publication, was published in 10 vols., 1845-6. Mr. Bray was a clergyman at Tavistock. See _M. of T._, 1868. Her first publication was Letters written during a Tour through Normandy, &c., in 1818, by Mrs. Chas. Stothard.

She was born in the Island of Burra, both in Orkney. The story of her short life, written by her husband, is one of domestic duties combined with the authorship of her novels: She died in childbirth, Dec. 19, 1818. _The Author of Self-Control._
