FORBES

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 640 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FORBES , a municipal town of Ashburnham county, New
South
  Wales, Australia, 289 M. W. by N. from Sydney, on the Lachlan river, and with a station on the
Great
  Western railway. Pop. (1901) 4313. Its importance as a commercial centre is due to its advantageous position between the northern and southern markets. It has steam-sawing and flour-mills, breweries and wool-scouring establishments; while the surrounding country produces good quantities of cereals, lucerne, wine and fruit.
FORBES-ROBERTSON, JOHNSTON (1853 ),
English
  actor, was the son of John Forbes-Robertson of Aberdeen, an art critic. He was educated at Charterhouse, and studied at the Royal
Academy
  schools with a view to becoming a painter. But though he kept up his
interest
  in that art, in 1874 he turned
mainly spent in his native
village
 . He died at Padua in 1768 before the completion of the
great
 
work
  on which he had
long
  co-operated with Facciolati. This was the vast Latin
Lexicon
  (see FACCIOLATI), which has formed the basis of all similar works that have since been published. He was engaged with his Herculean task for nearly 35 years, and the transcription of the
manuscript
  by Luigi Violato occupied eight years more.
