March
  1848 at Bourton on the Water, Gloucestershire. From King

Oxford
 , where he graduated in 1872, and at once devoted himself to a literary career, as journalist, essayist and lecturer. His first book was a study of Sir Joshua Reynolds (1874), and later he edited various classical English writers, and published volumes on Bolingbroke and Voltaire in England (1886), a Study of English Literature (1891), a study of Dean Swift (1893), Essays and Studies (1895), Ephemera Critica (1901), Essays in Poetry and Criticism (1905), and Rousseau and Voltaire (1908), his
original
  essays beingsharplycontroversial in tone, but full of knowledge. In 1904 he became professor of English literature at
Birmingham
  University. For many years he was a prominent University Extension lecturer, and a constant contributor to the
principal
  reviews. On the 15th of September 1908 he was found dead in a ditch near
Lowestoft
 , at which place he had been staying with a
doctor
  for the benefit of his
health
 . The circumstances necessitated the holding of an inquest, the verdict being that of " accidental death."
