Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BELL, HENRY GLASSFORD (1803-1874) , a Scottish lawyer and man of letters, was born at Glasgow on the 8th of November 1803. He received his education at the Glasgow high school and at Edinburgh University. He became intimate with "
Delta
 " Moir, James Hogg, John Wilson (Christopher North), and others of the brilliant staff of Blackwood's Magazine, to which he was
drawn
  by his political sympathies. In 1828 he became editor of the Edinburgh Literary
Journal
 , which was eventually incorporated in the Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle. He was admitted
to the bar in 1832. In 1839 he was appointed sheriff-substitute of
Lanarkshire
 , and in 1867 he succeeded Sir Archibald Alison in the post of sheriff-
principal
  of the county, an office which he filled with distinguished success. In 1831 he published Summer and Winter
Hours
 , a volume of poems, of which the best known is that on Mary, queen of Scots. He further defended the cause of the unfortunate queen in a
prose
  Life (2 vols., 1828-1831). Among his other works may be mentioned a
preface
  which he wrote to Bell and Bains's edition (1865) of the works of Shakespeare, and Romances and
Minor
  Poems (1866). He figures in the society of the Noctes Ambrosianae as " Tallboys." He died on the 7th of January 1874.
