BLANCHARD, SAMUEL LAMAN (1804-1845) , British author and journalist, the son of a painter and glazier, was born at
Great
  Yarmouth on the 15th of May 1804. He was educated at St Olave's school, Southwark, and then became clerk to a proctor in Doctors' Commons. At an early age he developed literary tastes, contributing dramatic sketches to a
paper
  called Drama. For a short time he was a member of a travelling dramatic company, but subsequently became a proof-reader in London, and wrote for the Monthly Magazine. In 1827 he was made secretary of the Zoological Society, a post which he held for three years. In 1828 he published Lyric Offerings, dedicated to Charles Lamb. He had a very varied journalistic experience, editing in succession the Monthly Magazine, the True Sun, the Constitutional, the
Court
 
Journal
 , the Courier, and George
Cruikshank
 's
Omnibus
 ; and from 1841 tih his death he was connected with the Examiner. In 1846 Bulwer-
Lytton
  collected a number of his
prose
 -essays under the title Sketches of Life, to which a memoir of the author was prefixed. His verse was collected in 1876 by
Blanchard
  Jerrold. Over-
work
  broke down his strength, and, unnerved by the death of his wife, he died by his own hand on the 15th of February 1845.
His eldest son, SIDNEY LAMAN
BLANCHARD
 , who was the author of Yesterday and To-day in India, died in 1883.
