PROCTER, B. W., poet, b. about 1790, England, educated at Harrow School, where he had Byron for a form-fellow. He married, in 1824, a daughter of Basil Montagu, by whom he had a daughter, Adelaide Anne, well known as a poetess, who died in 1864. M. of T. _Cornwall, Barry._

PUSEY, Rev. Edward Bouverie, D.D., b. 1800, educated at Oxford. The founder of the High Church sect called Puseyites, after his name. M. of T., 1868. _Contributors, etc._
PYNE, W. H., b. 1770, England -1843, more celebrated probably for the work we give than any other. As an artist, he earned considerable reputation for his sketches, and as an author, he has the merit of being an exact and trustworthy biographer. _Hardcastle, E._
R.
RADECLIFFE, Noell, author of St. Katharine of Alexandria, a dramatic legend, 1859; Wheel within Wheel, 1861; Bryanston Square, 1862; Sybilla Lockwood, 1864, and others. Also a contributor to Notes and Queries. _The Author of Alice Wentworth._
RAME, Miss, a writer of novels abounding in slang and stable language, and rather popular. We believe that some of her later novels acknowledge their magazine maternity. _Ouida._

RICHARDS, Rev. W. U., incumbent of All Saints, Marylebone, London. _W. U. R._
RICHMOND, Rev. Legh, b. 1772-1827. A writer in Blackwood’s Magazine, 1822, says that he never heard this truly evangelical clergyman but once, and that he then thought him a wishy-washy preacher. He prosed away apparently with much facility, his course not being slackened by any distressing burthen of ideas. He seems to have paid a visit of conversion to Scotland, to show them “the road to salvation,” and what is his reward? why almost universal scorn and contempt. “He is obviously a chosen vessel, without crack or flaw, and overflowing with sound doctrine,” ... “and Scotland will be saved BY THE DAIRYMAN’S DAUGHTER.” In “Three Days at Turvey, in Bedfordshire (the scene of the labors of the late Rev. L. R., A.M.), in the summer of 1847, by a Clergyman’s son, South Shields, 1848,” a memoir of the above, by F. S. Grimshawe is mentioned. _A Clergyman of the Church of England._--_The Author of the Dairyman’s Daughter._
RIDDEN, Laura C., American. _Glyndon, H._
RIDLEY, Rev. J., d. 1765. _Horam._
RIMBAULT, E. F., a very popular arranger of musical pieces chiefly for the Pianoforte. Dr. Rimbault is most honourably known for “The Organ, its History and Construction, 1855,” written in conjunction with Mr. Ed. Hopkins, the organist. He has contributed many valuable notes to N. and Q., and edited many remains of Old English Literature. _Nava, F._

ROLLS, Mrs. M. M. _His Mother._
ROSE, George, b. (183-?) England. Mr. Sketchley, who is only known to the public by this name, few indeed suspecting it to be assumed, has also contributed articles entitled Mrs. Brown’s Budget to Cassell’s Mag., 1867. _Sketchley, Arthur._

RULE, W. H. _W. H. R._
RUNDELL, Mrs. _A Lady_, 1808.
RUSKIN, J., LL.D., the well known writer on Art, b. 1819, London, Oxford. His nervous style of writing generally excites the ridicule of our American brothers. English Artists owe much to Mr. Ruskin’s enthusiasm. M. of T., 1868. _A Graduate of Oxford._

SALT, Henry, b. 1780, England d. 1827, the son of a medical practioner of Lichfield. While young he made such progress in drawing that his father was induced to send him to London that he might study there. In 1801 he set up as a portrait painter; but he very soon determined to relinquish a profession in which he had no hopes of success; and a favorable opportunity occurring, on Lord Valentia’s visiting India, Salt accompanied his lordship, and did not return to London until 1806, after an absence of four years and four months. He then prepared an account of his travels for the press, which he eventually published. He also published several other works of value. He was Consul-General in Egypt. It is to him that the nation owes many valuable Egyptian antiquities at the British Museum. Life by J. J. Halls, 1834. _A Traveller._

SCARGILL, W. P. _The Author of Nothing._ We observed a writer publishing under this pseudonym last year.
SCHILLER, H. Carl. It is scarcely necessary to remark that this gentleman is not related to his namesake and countryman. About 1836 Mr. Schiller, who was then residing at Hull, was associated with E. J. Loder in producing several songs, which were very popular at the time, and have been frequently reprinted. Among them we have The Ivy, The Outlaw, The Forrester’s Bride, Fair Alice. He was the musical critic to the Manchester Musical and Dramatic Review, and also contributed anonymously to a serial, “The Life and Adventures of a British Actor,” and a song, which we believe was never set to music, on Napoleon I. Mr. Schiller is also an inventor, and has patented a method for “submerging deep sea Telegraphic Cables.” He is the father of the accomplished pianist, Miss Madeleine Schiller. In his profession of an artist he is more particularly known for producing remarkably successful likenesses from description of deceased persons. The Bride of Kynast, founded on a German story, we have mentioned at page 17. _Anthony, Grey._

THOMAS, Miss Annie (Mrs. Pender Cudlip), a novelist of considerable talent, though by no means exempt from the remarks generally applicable to our lady-novelists. One critic, for instance, says, “it is pity lady-novelists persist in writing about what they do not understand; for we do not really think Miss Thomas understands--though she certainly affects--the language of the stable and the club.” Most of her works, we believe, are republications from magazines, &c. _The Author of Sir Victor’s Choice._

He is author of numerous works of fiction and others. Life by G. Phipps, 1850. * Tremaine, or the Man of Refinement, was pub. in 1825. _The Author of Tremaine._

WATERS, C. We believe this name to be a pseudonym. Under it have been written a great number of “Detective Police Officer” class of tales, which, if not highly creditable, are highly lucrative. _The Author of a Skeleton in Every House._
WATTS, Thomas, b. in London early in this century. It is quite impossible to think of Mr. Watts without coupling his name with that of the British Museum Library. We have so fully given our opinions on this subject in our Bibliogram on J.-M. Quérard, that we shall not dilate upon them here. Mr. Watts has been a contributor to numerous periodicals and cyclopædias, generally, we believe, anonymously. He was appointed to the important post of Keeper of the Printed Books in the British Museum in 1866, and his chief energies have thus been devoted to the public service, the value of which literary students fully appreciate.
