DORAN, JOHN (1807-1878) , English author, was born in London of Irish parentage on the 11th of March 1807. He became tutor in several distinguished families, and while travelling on the continent contributed journalistic sketches to The Literary Chronicle, a
paper
  which was afterwards incorporated with The
Athenaeum
 . His play, Jitstice or the Venetian Jew, was produced at the Surrey theatre in 1824, and in 1830 he began to write translations from French, German, Latin and Italian authors for The Bath Journal. After some years of travel on the continent he became in 1841 literary editor of The Church and State
Gazette
 , and in 1852 under the title of Filia dolorosa produced a memoir of Maria Therese Charlotte, duchesse d'
Angouleme
 . Two years later he became a regular contributor to The
Athenaeum
 , succeeding Hepworth
Dixon
  as editor for a short time in i869, until he became editor of Notes and Queries in 1870. His most elaborate
work
 , Their Majesties' Servants, a history of the English stage from Betterton to
Kean
 , was published in 1860, and was supplemented by In and About Drury Lane, which was written for Temple Bar and was not published in book form till 1885, after Doran's death. Among his other works may be mentioned Table Traits and Habits of Men (1854), The Queens of the
House
  of Hanover (1855), Knights and their Days (1856), Monarchs retired from Business (1856), The History of Court
Fools
  (1858), an edition of the Bentley Ballads (1858), The Last Journals of
Horace
  Walpole (2 vols., 1859), The Princess of Wales (1860), and the Memoirs of Queen Adelaide (1861). These were followed by A Lady of the Last Century (1873), an account of Mrs Elizabeth Montagu and the blue-stockings; London in Jacobite Times (1877); and Memories of our Great Towns (1878). Doran died in London, on the 25th of January 1878.
