VARLEY, CORNELIUS (1781-1873) ,
English
  water-colour painter, a younger brother of John Varley (q.v.), was born at Hackney, London, on the 21st of November 1781. He was educated by his uncle, a philosophical
instrument
  maker, and under him acquired a knowledge of the natural sciences; but about 1800 he joined his brother in a tour through Wales, and began the study of art. He was soon engaged in teaching drawing. From 1803 till 1859 he was an occasional exhibitor in the Royal
Academy
 ; and he also contributed regularly to the displays of the Water-Colour Society, of which, in 1803, he was one of the founders, and of which he continued a member till 1821. His works consist mainly of carefully finished classical subjects, with architecture and figures. He published a
series
  of etchings of " Boats and other Craft on the River Thames," and during his
life
  as an artist he continued deeply interested in scientific pursuits. For his improvements in the
camera
  lucida, the
camera
  obscura and the microscope he received the Isis gold
medal
  of the Society of Arts; and at the
International
 
Exhibition of 1851 he gained a
medal
  for his invention of the graphic
telescope
 . He died at
Hampstead
  on the 2nd of October 1873.
