1542.] followers; but no one knew in the darkness who was present, who was absent. A shadow of imagined command lay with Lord Maxwell as Warden of the Marches; but the King of Scots, jealous ever of the best-affected of his lords, intended to keep the credit of the success, yet without sharing in the enterprise. He had therefore perilously allowed the expedition to go forward with no nominal head; and as soon as the border was crossed, Oliver Sinclair, one of those worthless minions with which the Scottish Court, to its misfortune, was so often burdened, was instructed to declare himself the general-in-chief in the King's name.

The arrangements had been laid skilfully, so far as effecting a surprise. The November night covered the advance, and no hint of the approach of the Scots preceded them. They were across the Esk before daybreak, and the Cumberland farmers, waking from their sleep, saw the line of their corn-stacks smoking from Longtown to the Roman wall. The garrison of Carlisle, ignorant of the force of the invaders, dared not, for the first hours of the morning, leave the walls of the city and there was no other available force in readiness. The Scots spread unresisted over the country, wasting at their pleasure.

But the English Borderers were not the men to stand by quietly as soon as they had recovered from their first alarm. There were no men-at-arms at hand; but the farmers and their farm-servants had but to snatch their arms and spring into their saddles, and they became at once 'the Northern Horse,' famed as

Rh is frequently worse than inharmonious, and his diction so prosaic as to evince that his power of expression bore no proportion to his power of thought. His best poem is ‘Desultory Thoughts in London,’ which contains, with other good passages, a beautiful description of his home in Westmoreland, and deeply felt though poorly composed eulogies on Lamb and Coleridge. His abilities as a thinker were rated highly. ‘It was really a delightful luxury,’ declares De Quincey, ‘to hear him giving free scope to his powers for investigating subtle combinations of character.’ ‘His mind,’ says Talfourd, ‘was chiefly remarkable for a fine power of analysis. In this power of discriminating and distinguishing, carried almost to a pitch of painfulness, Lloyd has scarcely been equalled.’

LLOYD, CHARLES DALTON CLIFFORD (1844–1891), servant of the crown, eldest son of Colonel Robert Clifford Lloyd of the 68th Durham light infantry, by his wife, a daughter of Captain George Savage of the 13th light dragoons, was born at Portsmouth on 13 Jan. 1844. His grandfather was Bartholomew Lloyd [q. v.], provost of Trinity College, Dublin, 1831–7, and the same office was afterwards held by his uncle, Humphrey Lloyd (1800–1881) [q. v.] He was educated at Sandhurst, but instead of the army he entered in 1862 the police force in British Burmah, where he subsequently filled the offices of assistant and deputy-commissioner and inspector-general of registration. He came home in 1872 and read law at Lincoln's Inn, where he was called to the bar in Trinity term 1875, having already been appointed, 16 Feb. 1874, resident magistrate for co. Down, Ireland. In this capacity he displayed equal energy and discretion, and in January 1881 was entrusted with the onerous duty of restoring order in co. Longford. Though not expressly invested with extraordinary powers, he acted from the first on the assumption that all the forces of the crown within his jurisdiction were at his disposal, and by this means, and also by making a liberal use of the power of remand, whereby he dispensed in most cases with the necessity for further proceedings, effected the pacification of the county in a few months. In May he was transferred to Kilmallock, co. Limerick, where the land league had become the de facto government. By the arrest, however, under the Protection of Person and Property Act, on 20 May of Father Sheehy and other leading representatives of the league, followed by that of other leaguers at Kilfinane, and by a steady and vigorous administration of the ordinary law, Lloyd gradually restored its authority. During this period he was made the subject of violent attacks in the House of Commons and the Irish press, and he was in hourly danger of assassination. Fully alive to the defects of the Protection of Person and Property Act, which he held could only be put in force with advantage against combinations, he concerted with Mr. Forster in December 1881 a scheme for infusing new vigour into the administration of the ordinary law. The country was divided into five districts, each presided over by a special resident magistrate, invested with executive authority over the entire forces of the crown within his jurisdiction. Himself appointed special resident magistrate for the Limerick district, he organised during the winter of 1881–2 an efficient system of combined military and police protection. He was also mainly responsible for the administration of the Prevention of Crimes Act of 1882 within his district; and when in September 1883 the state of the country enabled his services to be dispensed with, he was able to boast that no case of grave agrarian crime had occurred within his district during his tenure of office.

Lloyd entered the service of the khedive of Egypt as inspector-general of reforms in 1883, and was soon advanced to the post of under-secretary at the home office. With characteristic energy he threw himself into schemes for sanitation, local self-government, and the cleansing of the Augean stables of justice. His proposals for the reform of prison management, formulated in January 1884, and partially carried into effect during the spring, excited the opposition of the Mudirs, whose powers they abridged, of Procureur-Général Sir Benson Maxwell, who was committed to another scheme, and finally of the Egyptian minister, Nubar Pasha, who in April talked of resigning in consequence. Lloyd, though supported at the outset by Sir Evelyn Baring, found his position untenable, and towards the end of May resigned. On his return to England he explained his plan of reform in a letter to the ‘Times,’ 30 June 1884 (see also the Times of 7 and 10 July following, and 29 Sept. 1888).

In the spring of 1885 Lloyd resumed the duties of resident magistrate in Ireland,

530 the finest light cavalry in the known world. As the day grew on they gathered in tens and twenties. By the afternoon, Sir Thomas Wharton, Lord Dacres, and Lord Musgrave had collected three or four hundred, who hovered about the enemy, cutting off the stragglers, and driving the scattered parties in upon the main body. Being without organization, and with no one to give orders, the Scots flocked together as they could, and their numbers added to their confusion. The cry rose for direction, and in the midst of the tumult, at the most critical moment, Oliver Sinclair was lifted on spears and proclaimed through the crowd as commander. Who was Sinclair? men asked. Every knight and gentleman, every common clan follower, felt himself and his kindred insulted. The evening was closing in; the attacks of the English became hotter; the tumult and noise increased, 'every man calling his own slogan;' and a troop of Cumberland horse showing themselves in the dusk on an unexpected side, a shout was raised that the Duke of Norfolk was upon them with the army of the Tweed. A moment's thought would have shown them that Norfolk could not be within thirty miles of Carlisle; but his name caused a panic, and reflection was impossible. Few or none in the whole multitude knew the ground, and ten thousand men were blundering like sheep, in the darkness, back upon the Border.

But here a fresh difficulty rose. The tide was

Some flung away their arms and struggled over the water; some were drowned; some ran into the ruins of the houses which they had burnt, and surrendered themselves to women when there were no men to take them. The main body wandered at last into Solway Moss, a morass between Gretna and the Esk, where Wharton, who knew where he was, had them at his mercy, and substantially the whole army were either killed or made prisoners. Intending to remain for several days in England, they had brought tents and stores. They had twenty- four cannon, with carts and ammunition. All were left behind or taken. Lord Maxwell refused to turn his back, and fell early in the evening into the hands of the English. 'Stout Oliver was taken without stroke, flying full manfully.' In the morning Wharton sent a list of captures to the King, with the names of the Earls of Cassalis and Glencairn, Lords Maxwell, Fleming, Somerville, Oliphant, and Grey, Sir Oliver Sinclair, and two hundred gentlemen. Never, in all the wars between England and Scotland, had there been a defeat more complete, more sudden and disgraceful. More lives were lost at Flodden; but at Flodden two armies had met fairly matched, and the Scotch had fallen with their faces to their enemies. At Solway Moss ten thousand men had fled before a few hundred farmers, whom they had surprised

Rh being gazetted to serve for co. Londonderry on 12 March. In the winter he embarked for the Mauritius, where he had been appointed (23 Nov.) lieutenant-governor and colonial secretary. Here unfortunate differences with the governor, Sir John Pope Hennessy, led to his transfer to the Seychelles (a charge which he never took up) in August 1886, and eventual resignation of office in 1887. For some time he remained without a post, and employed his leisure in writing a ‘Narrative of Personal Experiences’ in Ireland during the struggle with the land league. On 15 Sept. 1889 he was appointed consul for Kurdistan, where his exertions in the cause of the Armenians were cordially appreciated by Sir William White, the English ambassador at Constantinople. He died of pleuro-pneumonia at Erzeroum on 7 June 1891.

An autobiographical fragment, with a brief biographical preface, appeared in 1892 under the title, ‘Ireland under the Land League: a Narrative of Personal Experiences,’ London, 8vo. It covers the period from the summer of 1880 to the winter of 1881–2, and presents an extremely lively picture of the state of Ireland at that crisis as seen from the point of view of an eminently humane, capable, brave, and resolute official. Though a staunch unionist, Lloyd was by no means a partisan of the landlords, and was strongly in favour of the decentralisation of the Irish administrative system (cf. his letter to the Times of 21 Aug. 1885, headed ‘Political Necessities in Ireland’).

LLOYD, DAVID (1597–1663), author of the ‘Legend of Captain Jones,’ born at Berthlwyd in the parish of Llanidloes, Montgomeryshire, in 1597, was son of David Lloyd. His uncle, Oliver Lloyd, fellow of All Souls, advocate of Doctors' Commons, and a benefactor of Jesus College, Oxford, was appointed dean of Hereford in 1617, and held that preferment until his death in 1625 at the age of fifty-four. David matriculated from Hart Hall, Oxford, on 30 Oct. 1612, graduated B.A. 22 June 1615 (he was incorporated at Cambridge in 1616), was elected fellow of All Souls 9 May 1618, and proceeded B.C.L. in 1622, and D.C.L. in 1628. He obtained the post of chaplain to William Stanley, sixth earl of Derby, and was also, Wood suggests, comptroller of his household. He was made a canon of Chester in 1639 and was instituted on 2 Dec. 1641 to the rectory of Trefdraeth in Anglesey, upon resigning which he was in July 1642 instituted to Llangynhafal, and on 21 Dec. following to the vicarage of Llanfair Dryffyn Clwyd. In 1642 he was also appointed warden of Ruthin, Denbighshire. Deprived, and for a time imprisoned by the Long parliament, he was reinstated in his benefices upon the Restoration, and promoted to the deanery of St. Asaph in succession to Andrew Morris (1660), being two years later presented to one of the comportions of Llansannan. He died on 7 Sept. 1663 at Ruthin, where he was buried without any inscription or monument, though a humorous rhyming epitaph, said to have been written by himself, is printed by Wood (Athenæ, iii. 653). The epitaph bespeaks a jovial ecclesiastic who spent considerably more than his revenues on the pleasures of the table.

Lloyd is exclusively remembered by the jeu d'esprit which he produced very soon after leaving Oxford, entitled ‘The Legend of Captain Jones; relating his Adventures to Sea … his furious Battell with his sixe and thirty Men against the Armie of eleven Kings, with their overthrow and Deaths,’ &c., London, 1631, 4to. The legend or ballad, which opens with I sing thy arms (Bellona) and the man's Whose mighty deeds outdid great Tamerlan's, is a genial, if somewhat coarse burlesque upon the extravagant adventures of a sea-rover called Jones, who, says Wood, ‘lived in the reign of Queen Elizabeth and was in great renown for his high exploits.’ The poem relates how with his good sword Kyl-za-dog Jones slew the mighty giant Asdriasdust, how eleven fierce kings made a brave but futile attempt to stay his triumphant progress, and how at last he was captured by the Spanish king at the expense of six thousand warriors, but at once ransomed by his countrymen, anxious to recover him on any terms. Elsewhere Wood says that the ‘Legend’ was a burlesque upon a Welsh poem entitled ‘Awdl Richard John Greulon;’ but the view that Jones was not an altogether mythical person seems to derive support from the fact that, in his ‘Rehearsal Transprosed’ (1776, ii. 19), Andrew Marvell says, apropos of the ‘Legend,’ ‘I have heard that there was indeed such a captain, an honest,

532 in their homes. 'Worldly men say that all this came by misorcler and fortune,' said Knox; 'but whoever has the least spunk of the knowledge of God, may as evidently see the work of his hand in this discomfiture as ever was seen in any of the battles left to us in register by the Holy Ghost.' The folly of venturing such an expedition without order or leader may account for the failure; but who shall account for the folly? The unlucky King was given over to believe a lie. 'The Cardinal had promised heaven for the destruction of England;' and the Cardinal had mistaken wholly the intentions of Heaven upon the matter. In the dead of the night stragglers dropped into Lochmaben, with their tale of calamity. The King had not slept. He had sat still, watching for news; and when the tidings came they were his deathblow. With a long, bitter cry, he exclaimed, 'Oh! fled Oliver! Is Oliver taken? Oh! fled Oliver!' And, muttering the same miserable words, he returned to Edinburgh, half paralyzed with shame and sorrow. There other ominous news were waiting for him. An English herald had been at the Court for a fortnight, with a message from Henry, to which he expected a reply. The invasion was the answer which James intended, and on the fatal night of the march the herald was dismissed. On the road to Dunbar, two of the northern refugees who had been out in the rebellion overtook and murdered him. A crime for which the King was but indirectly responsible need not have added much to the weight of the lost battle; but one of the murderers had been

The Cardinal came back from the Border to. concert measures to repair the disaster of the Solway; but his presence was unendurable. James, as well as Knox, saw in the overwhelming calamity which had prostrated him the immediate judgment of the Upper Powers, and in a dreamy, half-conscious melancholy, he left Holyrood, and wandered into Fife to the discarded minister whose advice he had so fatally neglected, the old Lord Treasurer. Kirkaldy himself was absent from home. His wife received the King with loyal affection; but he had no definite purpose in going thither, and he would not remain. The hand of death was upon him, and he knew it, and he waited its last grasp with passive indifference. 'My portion in this world is short,' he said to her; 'I shall not be with you fifteen days.' His servants asked him where he would spend his Christmas. 'I cannot tell,' he said; 'but this I can tell on yule day ye will be masterless, and the realm without a king.'

Two boys whom Mary of Guise had borne to him had died in the year preceding. The Queen was at Linlithgow, expecting every day her third confinement. But James was weary of earth and earthly interests. He showed no desire to see her. He went languidly to Falkland; and there, on the 8th of December, came tidings that there was again an heir to the crown; that a princess, known afterwards as Mary Stuart, had been

Rh brave fellow; but a wag that had a mind to be merry with him, hath quite spoiled his history.’ The ‘Legend’ at once obtained a great popularity. It was reissued in 1636, and with the addition of a second part in 1648. In 1656 appeared (in octavo) the edition described by Wood, with a frontispiece representing Jones ‘armed cap-a-pee, well-mounted on a war-horse, encountering an elephant with a castle on its back, containing an Indian king, shooting with arrows at the captain, under whose horse's feet lie the bodies of kings, princes, and lyons, which had been by him, the said captain, kill'd.’

In subsequent editions introductory poems were added, and in 1766 appeared a so-called second edition, with the title, ‘The Wonderful, Surprizing, and Uncommon Voyages and Adventures of Captain Jones to Patagonia, relating his Adventures to Sea, &c. … all which and more is but the Tythe of his own Relation, which he continued until he grew speechless and died, with his Elegy and Epitaph.’ But by this time the supplemental rodomontade of successive editors had almost entirely destroyed the naïve effect of the original version. Besides the ‘Legend,’ Lloyd is vaguely said by Wood to have written ‘certain songs, sonnets, elegies, &c.—some of which are printed in several books;’ these do not seem to have been identified. The ‘Legend’ was printed in its original form in the ‘Archæologist,’ 1842, i. 271.

LLOYD, DAVID (1635–1692), biographer, son of Hugh Lloyd, was born at Pant Mawr, in the parish of Trawsfynydd, Merionethshire, on 28 Sept. 1635, and was educated in the free school of Ruthin in Denbighshire. In 1653 he became a servitor of Merton College, Oxford, where he discharged the duties of janitor. He graduated B.A. 30 Jan. 1656–7 (, Fasti Oxon. ed. Bliss, ii. 192) from Oriel College. The warden and fellows of Merton College presented him to the rectory of Ibstone, Oxfordshire, in May 1658, and he commenced M.A. 4 July 1659. Resigning his rectory in 1659, he came to London and was appointed reader in the Charterhouse under Dr. Timothy Thurscross. About 1663 he suffered six months' imprisonment at the suit of the Earl of Bridgewater, who resented Lloyd's publication of a work describing the late countess's virtues under the title ‘The Countess of Bridgewater's Ghost,’ London, 1663. Subsequently he became chaplain to Dr. Isaac Barrow, bishop of St. Asaph, who gave him several preferments in that diocese and collated him to a canonry (, Fasti, ed. Hardy, i. 86). On 14 Aug. 1671 he was instituted to the vicarage of Abergeley, Denbighshire, which he exchanged in 1672 for that of Northop, Flintshire, where he was also master of the free school. He was also rector of Llanddulas, Denbighshire, in 1672. His health failed, and he retired to Pant Mawr, where he died on 16 Feb. 1691–2. He was buried at Trawsfynydd.

His principal works are: 1. ‘The Statesmen and Favourites of England since the Reformation,’ London, 1665 and 1670, 8vo. A reprint of the work appeared under the title of ‘State Worthies’ in 2 vols. London, 1766, 8vo, under the editorship of Sir Charles Whitworth, who added the characters of the sovereigns of England, and sought to counteract the effect of Lloyd's extravagant eulogies of the royalists by introducing extracts from Lord Herbert, Rapin, and other writers. 2. ‘Memoires of the Lives, Actions, Sufferings, and Deaths of those Noble, Reverend, and Excellent Personages that suffered by Death, Sequestration, Decimation, and otherwise for the Protestant Religion and the great Principle thereof, Allegiance to their Soveraigne, in our late Intestine Wars, from 1637 to 1660, and from thence continued to 1666. With the Life and Martyrdom of King Charles I,’ London, 1668, fol., and also with a new title dated 1677. Prefixed is a frontispiece containing portraits. This work, embodying much that had already appeared in Lloyd's ‘Statesmen,’ is of slight historical or biographical value. Wood says that the book, ‘wherein are almost as many errors as lines,’ gained for Lloyd ‘not only the character of a most impudent plagiary, but a false writer and meer scribbler.’ Bishop Humphreys relates that Lloyd himself, in his later years, ‘would express no great esteem of his youthful performances’ (, Athenæ Oxon. ed. Bliss, iv. 352 n.)

Lloyd was also the author of: 3. ‘Modern Policy Compleated, or the Publick Actions and Councels, both civil and military, of his Excellency the Lord General Monck, under the General Revolutions since 1639 to 1660,’ London, 1660, 8vo. The running title of this work is ‘Modern Policy, the Second Part.’ 4. ‘Εἰκὼν Βασιλική, or the true Pourtraicture of his Sacred Majesty Charles the II. In three Books. Beginning from his Birth

And so, falling back into his old song, 'Fie! fled Oliver! Is Oliver taken? All is lost!' in a few more days, he moaned away his life. In the pocket of his dress was found Beton's scroll, with the list of names marked for destruction.

To such end had the blessing of Paul III., and the cap, and the sword, and the midnight mass, brought at last a gallant gentleman.

 LLOYD, DAVID (d. 1714?), captain in the navy and Jacobite agent, was in 1672 appointed lieutenant of the Henry. In 1677 he was promoted to be captain of the Mermaid, and during the next three years commanded the Reserve, Dover, and Crown in the Mediterranean. In May 1687 he was appointed to the Sedgemoor. At the time of the revolution he commanded one of the ships under Lord Dartmouth [see ], and having knowledge of the design of some of the captains to seize Dartmouth and deprive him of the command, he discovered it to him, and so caused the plot to fail (Memoirs relating to the Lord Torrington, Camden Soc., p. 32). When the cause of James was lost in England, Lloyd followed him to France, and during the whole of the reign of William III seems to have been actively employed as an agent in the interests of the exiled king. It was through him that the negotiations were carried on with Admiral Russell previous to the battle of Barfleur [see ], and afterwards with the Duke of Marlborough. Both in 1690 and in 1692 he was proclaimed a traitor, and orders were issued for his apprehension. But then and afterwards he escaped the threatened dangers and continued to act as a go-between from James to his partisans in England. After the death of James II he appears to have retired into private life, but continued to reside in France. He is said to have returned to England in 1714. He seems to have died suddenly in 1716. He is described as a man of honest purpose, possessed of a fund of quaint though rough humour.

 LLOYD, DAVID (1752–1838), divine and poet, only son of Thomas Lloyd of Trevodick, by Mary, daughter of David James of Little Croscunnon, was born at Croscunnon Llanbister, Radnorshire, on 12 May 1752. Though he had as a boy to work on the paternal farm, he managed to pick up a knowledge of Latin and mathematics from the neighbouring schools, set himself to learn Greek unassisted, and was able in 1771 to establish a small school at Llanbister. His leisure he devoted to preparing himself for the church, and he took holy orders in 1778. He served a curacy at Putley, Herefordshire, from 1785 till 1789, when he became vicar of Llanbister. Here in 1792 he composed a religious poem, in distant imitation of Young, entitled ‘The Voyage of Life,’ in nine books. Encouraged by a critic's commendation of the ‘moral tendency of his muse,’ he dedicated a revised and enlarged edition of this work, ‘with other poems,’ to Thomas Burgess, bishop of St. Davids, in 1812. The title was altered to ‘Characteristics of Men, Manners, and Sentiments, or the Voyage of Life,’ London, 8vo. His only other work was ‘Horæ Theologicæ, or a Series of Essays on Subjects Interesting and Important, embracing Physics, Morals, and Theology,’ London, 1823. Apart from his writings, Lloyd displayed natural abilities as a mechanician and as a musician, devised ‘perpetual motion’ engines, and composed several pieces of music, of which a march, called ‘The Loyal Cambrian Volunteers,’ was published and met with success. Lloyd died at Llanbister, after an incumbency of forty-nine years, on 3 March 1838, leaving 500l. to the Church Missionary Society, of which he had been a zealous supporter (Church Missionary Record, 1839, p. 236). He married in 1779 Mary, daughter of John Griffiths of Leehall, Llangunllo, Radnorshire, and had one son, John, who died in childhood. Mrs. Lloyd died in 1836, aged 89.

 LLOYD, EDWARD (fl. 1688–1726), from whom the great commercial corporation known as ‘Lloyd's’ derives its name, is mentioned in an advertisement in the ‘London Gazette,’ No. 2437, 18–21 Feb. 1688, as keeper of a coffee-house in Tower Street, then one of the busiest thoroughfares in London. About 1692 he removed to premises in Lombard Street, at the corner of Abchurch Lane, where ‘Lloyd's Coffee-house’ became the recognised centre of shipbroking and marine insurance business. Previously, the chief resort of the brokers and shipowners had been a coffee-house, known as ‘John's,’ in Birchin Lane; the well-known ‘Garraway's’ had also a considerable connection among customers of this class. Lloyd appears to have been a man of great intelligence and enterprise. In September 1696 he started a newspaper entitled ‘Lloyd's News,’ a shipping and commercial chronicle, consisting of a leaf of two pages, each containing 10½ inches by 5¼ inches of letterpress, appearing as often as three times a week. It ceased on 23 Feb. 1697 with its seventy-sixth number. A measure for limiting the freedom of the press was at the time before the House of Commons; it was thrown out on a second reading a few weeks later (see Parl. Hist. 1697), but in the final issue of his ‘News’ Lloyd appears to have offended the government by announcing that the quakers had petitioned the House of Lords to be excused from all offices. ‘Mr. Edward Lloyd was desired,’ the ‘Protestant Mercury’ states, ‘that the statement being groundless and a mistake, he doe rectifie in his next.’ Lloyd refused, but promised to suspend the publication for a time. The British Museum has only a single number of the ‘News,’ but the Bodleian has all save the first six.

As early as 1700 a poem which professed to follow the daily movements of ‘The Wealthy Shopkeeper, or Charitable Christian,’ contained the lines:

During the next decade Lloyd's Coffee-house prospered continuously. Steele mentions it in the ‘Tatler,’ No. 268 (Christmas day 1710), and Addison describes the manners of the frequenters in the ‘Spectator,’ No. 46 (23 April 1711). The merchants and underwriters used it as a free place of meeting, without rules or organisation.

The publication of ‘Lloyd's News’ was revived by Edward Lloyd, or, at any rate, at Lloyd's Coffee-house, Lombard Street, in 1726, under the name of ‘Lloyd's Lists.’ This periodical still survives as the official organ of the ‘Committee of Lloyd's,’ although it has since 1836 been incorporated in the ‘Shipping and Mercantile Gazette,’ and is the oldest existing London newspaper, the ‘London Gazette’ excepted. The completest collection of ‘Lloyd's Lists’ is in the library at ‘Lloyd's,’ and begins with 1740. Earlier numbers may have perished in the fire that destroyed ‘Lloyd's’ offices in the old Royal Exchange in 1838. The issue of ‘Lloyd's Register of Shipping’ is believed to have commenced about the same time as the ‘Lists,’ with which it must not be confounded, in the form of printed (at an earlier period written) ship-lists distributed to subscribers at Lloyd's Coffee-house. The earliest extant volumes of this publication, those for 1764–6, are at ‘Lloyd's Registry of Shipping.’

Lloyd may have been the person of that name whose interment at St. Stephen's Walbrook is registered in July 1734; but the name is common. He probably died before 1740, since in March of that year ‘Mr. Baker,’ who was then ‘master of Lloyd's Coffee-house in Lombard Street, waited upon Sir Robert Walpole’ with the first news of Admiral Vernon's capture of Portobello (Gent. Mag. x. 142).

A coffee-house of the same name existed early in the eighteenth century in Dublin, and from it was issued ‘Lloyd's Newsletter.’ The proprietor was probably another Edward Lloyd—the same, doubtless, who was elected sheriff of Dublin in December 1690 (Hist. MSS. Comm. 12th Rep. App. pt. vii. p. 306). Among the British Museum printed books is a solitary number of ‘Lloyd's Newsletter,’ No. 139, ‘printed for Edward Loyd (sic) at his Coffee-house, Cork Hill, Dublin, in 1713.’

In 1770 [q. v.] and other city merchants started an association of underwriters, under the name of ‘New Lloyd's,’ with its headquarters in Pope's Head Alley, Cornhill. Various improvements in marine insurance were introduced. The adjective ‘new’ was soon dropped, and the offices were removed to the old Royal Exchange. This association, since improved and reorganised, received a charter of incorporation in 1870. The offices of ‘Lloyd's’ are at the Royal Exchange, and are still erroneously called ‘Lloyd's Coffee-house’ by some old-fashioned people and foreigners. [F.

morning came a remarkable telegram from Folkestone. "Please come at once, urgent, Walshingham," said the telegram, and Kipps, after an agitated but still ample breakfast, departed.…

When he returned his face was very white and his countenance disordered. He let himself in with his latchkey and came into the dining-room where Ann sat, affecting to work at a little thing she called a bib. She heard his hat fall in the hall before he entered, as though he had missed the peg. "I got something to tell you, Ann," he said, disregarding their overnight quarrel, and went to the hearthrug and took hold of the mantel, and stared at Ann as though the sight of her was novel.

"Well?" said Ann, not looking up and working a little faster.

"E's gone!"

LLOYD, EDWARD (d. 1847), captain, of the Gambia River, is described as originally of Beechmount, near Limerick. The Lloyds of Beechmount were, according to Burke, a branch of the family of Lloyd of Castle Lloyd, co. Limerick (Landed Gentry, ed. 1868). Lloyd obtained an ensigncy in the 54th foot in 1799, and served with that regiment in Egypt in 1801. In 1803 he became lieutenant in the 58th foot, and in 1804 received a company without purchase in the royal African corps, then re-formed. He retired in July 1812. He is regarded as the founder of the Gambia River settlement, where he died, after forty-three years' residence, on 16 March 1847. Major Richard Lloyd, an officer mentioned by the African traveller, Mungo Park, was, like Edward Lloyd, in the royal African corps, and was killed as lieutenant-colonel commanding the 2nd battalion 84th foot at the battle of the Nive in December 1813.

LLOYD, EDWARD (1815–1890), founder of ‘Lloyd's Weekly London Newspaper,’ was born at Thornton Heath, Surrey, on 16 Feb. 1815. His parents removed to London, and when quite a boy Lloyd opened a shop in Curtain Road, Shoreditch, where he sold books and newspapers, and began to publish cheap literature. In 1833 he compiled ‘Lloyd's Stenography,’ getting the introduction printed, writing the symbols with his own hand, and carrying round the copies for sale. He published in 1836 a monthly budget of news, and in 1840 ‘The Pickwickian Songster,’ which occasioned a temporary dispute with Dickens, ‘The Ethiopian Song Book’ in 1847, and other works of the same class. He also issued in 1842 ‘Lloyd's Penny Weekly Miscellany,’ which had a large circulation, and became in 1844 ‘Lloyd's Entertaining Journal,’ continuing till 1847; ‘Lloyd's Penny Atlas’ (1842–5) was a similar undertaking. A more important venture was ‘Lloyd's Illustrated London Newspaper,’ issued in opposition to the ‘Illustrated London News,’ on 27 Nov. 1842, at twopence. It was stopped after seven numbers, owing to difficulties with the stamp office, as it really contained news, though unstamped. It was continued immediately, however, without illustrations, at twopence halfpenny, under the name of ‘Lloyd's Weekly London Newspaper.’ In April 1852, when Douglas Jerrold, one of Lloyd's personal friends, became editor, the circulation had reached seventy thousand; in 1853 it averaged about ninety thousand, and some fifty years later was said to exceed a million. In 1857 Blanchard Jerrold succeeded his father, and he was in 1884 succeeded by Mr. Thomas Catling. The price was reduced to twopence in 1855, and to a penny in 1861.

In January 1855 ‘The Business and Agency Gazette’ had been established. It was merely a sheet of advertisements given away weekly to people living in Clerkenwell. In May 1856 it became ‘The Clerkenwell News,’ its price was a halfpenny, and it was the first district newspaper of London. In February 1866 its name was altered to ‘The Clerkenwell News and London Times,’ and it was now issued five times a week. In April 1866 it became a daily newspaper, and in the autumn of 1869, the proprietors of the ‘Times’ objecting to the title, its name was again altered to ‘The London Daily Chronicle and Clerkenwell News.’ On 25 Nov. 1872 the name ‘Daily Chronicle’ was adopted. In 1876 Lloyd bought it for 30,000l., and after spending 150,000l. succeeded in establishing it as a London daily newspaper. Lloyd was one of the first to introduce Hoe's American printing presses into England; he also established a large paper manufactory at Sittingbourne in Kent, and having leased over a hundred thousand acres of land in Algeria for the purpose, became a grower and importer of esparto grass for the improvement of papermaking. Lloyd died, very wealthy, on 8 April 1890 at 17 Delahay Street, Westminster, and was buried at Highgate cemetery. He left a widow and large family.

LLOYD, EVAN (1734–1776), poet, second son of John Lloyd of Vrondderw, near Bala, and a descendant of Robert Lloyd of Rhiwgoch, M.P. for Merioneth in 1601 (Parl. Ret. i. 441), was born in 1734, and educated at Jesus College, Oxford, whence he matriculated as a scholar on 22 March 1751, and graduated B.A. in 1754 and M.A. in 1757. After taking orders and serving for a short time a curacy in London, he was, about 1762, presented to the vicarage of Llanvair Dyffryn Clwyd in Denbighshire. In his Welsh parsonage he devoted himself to cultivating the vein of satirical humour of which he had given evidence before going to Oxford. His

444 Ann looked up sharply and her hands stopped. "Who's gone?" For the first time she perceived Kipps' pallor.

"Young Walshingham—I saw 'er and she tole me."

"Gone? What d'you mean?"

"Cleared out! Gone off for good!"

"What for?"

"For 'is 'ealth," said Kipps, with sudden bitterness. "'E's been speckylating. He's speckylated our money and 'e's speckylated their money, and now 'e's took 'is 'ook. That's all about it, Ann."

"You mean?"

"I mean 'e's orf and our twenty-four thousand's orf, too! And 'ere we are! Smashed up! That's all about it, Ann." He panted.

Ann had no vocabulary for such an occasion. "Oh, Lor'!" she said, and sat still.

Kipps came about and stuck his hands deeply in his trouser pockets. "Speckylated every penny—lorst it all—and gorn."

Even his lips were white.

"You mean we ain't got nothin' left, Artie?"

"Not a penny! Not a bloomin' penny, Ann. No!"

A gust of passion whirled across the soul of Kipps. He flung out a knuckly fist. "If I 'ad 'im 'ere," he said, "I'd—I'd—I'd wring 'is neck for 'im. I'd—I'd" His voice rose to a shout. He thought of Gwendolen in the kitchen and fell to "Ugh!"

CH. III "But, Artie," said Ann, trying to grasp it, "d'you mean to say he's took our money?"

"Speckylated it!" said Kipps, with an illustrative flourish of the arm, that failed to illustrate. "Bort things dear and sold 'em cheap, and played the 'ankey-pankey jackass with everything we got. That's what I mean 'e's done, Ann." He repeated this last sentence with the addition of violent adverbs."

"D'you mean to say our money's gone, Artie?"

"Ter-dash it, Yes, Ann!" swore Kipps, exploding in a shout. "Ain't I tellin' you?"

He was immediately sorry. "I didn't mean to 'oller at you, Ann," he said, "but I'm all shook up. I don't 'ardly know what I'm sayin'. Ev'ry penny."…

"But, Artie"

Kipps grunted. He went to the window and stared for a moment at a sunlit sea. "Gord!" he swore.

"I mean," he said, coming back to Ann and with an air of exasperation, "that he's 'bezzled and 'ooked it. That's what I mean, Ann."

Ann put down the bib. "But wot are we going to do, Artie?"

Kipps indicated ignorance, wrath and despair with one comprehensive gesture of his hands. He caught an ornament from the mantel and replaced it. "I'm going to bang about," he said, "if I ain't precious careful."

 first satire, ‘The Powers of the Pen; a poem addressed to John Curre, Esquire,’ was written in 1765, and is chiefly concerned with an attack upon the two chief critics of the day:

This was followed in 1766 by ‘The Curate; a poem, inscribed to all the Curates in England and Wales,’ which dwells mock-heroically upon the woes of curates and the slights put upon them alike by ‘pursy rectors’ and by the more frivolous portions of society, and ‘The Methodist; a poem,’ which appears to cloak a venomous attack upon a neighbouring squire, a certain ‘T-s-d.’ This indiscretion subjected Lloyd to an action for libel and an imprisonment in the king's bench, where he laid the foundations of a firm friendship with a fellow-prisoner and kindred spirit, John Wilkes. ‘The Conversation; a poem,’ appeared in 1767, and his last poem, an ‘Epistle to David Garrick, Esq.,’ in 1773. The latter is adorned with an emblematic frontispiece, in which Nature is depicted ‘leaning on the sarcophagus of Shakespeare, crowning Genius with laurel.’ The ‘Epistle’ gained for Lloyd, who was already intimate with Churchill, Colman, and other wits of the time, the warm friendship of Garrick. The actor visited him at Llanvair and presented him with a drinking-cup, beautifully carved out of the famous mulberry tree in the form of the head of Shakespeare, moulded in silver and engraved with Garrick's crest. The cup is now in the possession of Rice Hugh Anwyl, esq., of Bala (, p. 563). Two interesting letters from his poetical admirer are included in Garrick's ‘Correspondence’ (ed. 1832, i. 409, ii. 95). Unfortunately, a covert allusion in the ‘Epistle’ to [q. v.] as a ‘be'doctored bat’ conspired with his praise of Garrick to evoke Kenrick's very easily aroused wrath. In ‘A Whipping for the Welsh Parson’ he mocked and bespattered Lloyd and other ‘filthy Yahoos’ associated with him with his usual smart ferocity. Lloyd, who seems to have attempted no further imitations of Churchill's style, died unmarried in January 1776 (Gent. Mag. 1776, p. 94). He was buried in the family vault at Llanycil Church, Merionethshire; his epitaph, describing his ‘keen wit’ and ‘strong sense,’ being written by Wilkes.

LLOYD, GEORGE (1560–1615), bishop of Chester, a son of Meredith Lloyd of Carnarvonshire, was born in 1560. He received his early education in Wales, whence he went to Cambridge, and was elected a fellow of Magdalene College. In 1596 he was presented to the living of Llanrwst by Lord Egerton, and was afterwards rector of Heswell-in-Wirrall, Cheshire, and divinity reader in Chester Cathedral. Lloyd was promoted to the bishopric of Sodor and Man in 1600, holding the rectory of Halsall, Lancashire, at the same time. He succeeded Vaughan as bishop of Chester in December 1604, and is said to have treated the nonconforming clergy of his diocese with much leniency, protecting them as much as he could from persecution. He held two livings, Thornton-le-Moors and Bangor (appointed 29 July 1613), in addition to his see. He died at Chester, 1 Aug. 1615, aged 55, and was buried in the cathedral.

LLOYD or FLOYD, GODFREY (fl. 1667), military engineer, was son of Sergeant-major Brochwel Lloyd and a younger brother of Sir  (d. 1661) [q. v.] He does not appear to have been engaged like his brother in the civil wars, but was proscribed as a conspirator by the parliament. During the Commonwealth he was captain of a company of foot in the Dutch service. He is believed to be the ‘Captain Lloyd, a stout, choleric Welshman, brought up under William of Orange,’ who is mentioned by Clarke (see Life of James II, i. 283) as in charge of the advanced approaches at the French siege of Condé in 1655, and wounded in the head there. He is mentioned by Hyde in 1656 as an ‘honest man’ in the king's employ (Cal. Clarendon State Papers, iii. 171). He was knighted by Charles II at Brussels in 1657. He had a high reputation as a military engineer. On 27 Dec. 1661 he was appointed ‘chief engineer of all ports, castles, and fortifications in England and Wales’ (Cal. State Papers, Dom. 1661–2, p. 192). Sir [q. v.] had been appointed to the like post some months before. The post of chief-engineer was held by more than one person at once (, vol. i.) In 1665 Lloyd petitioned for a sum of 360l. due to him as ‘engineer-general of England and Wales,’ he

"Yes."

"What did she say 'xactly?" said Ann.

"Told me to see a s'licitor—tole me to get someone to 'elp me at once. She was there in black—like she used to be—and speaking cool and careful-like. 'Elen! … She's precious 'ard, is 'Elen. She looked at me straight. 'It's my fault,' she said, 'I ought to 'ave warned you.… Only under the circumstances it was a little difficult.' Straight as anything. I didn't 'ardly say anything to 'er. I didn't seem to begin to take it in until she was showing me out. I 'adn't anything to say. Jest as well, perhaps. She talked like a call a'most. She said—what was it she said about her mother? 'My mother's overcome with grief,' she said, 'so naturally everything comes on me.'"

"And she told you to get someone to 'elp you?"

"Yes. I been to old Bean."

"O' Bean?"

"Yes. What I took my business away from!"

"What did he say?"

"He was a bit off'and at first, but then 'e come 'round. He couldn't tell me anything till 'e knew the facts. What I know of young Walshingham, there won't be much 'elp in the facts. No!"

Rh having quitted the service of the Duke of Brunswick-Lunenburg by the king's order (Cal. State Papers, Dom. 1665–6, p. 594). On 12 May 1666 he was appointed captain of a company of foot-guards in garrison at Portsmouth (ib.) In 1667, after the Dutch attack on the Medway, Lloyd and De Gomme were consulted by the king as to the defences of the kingdom (, Diary, 1854 ed. iii. 424). On 27 Sept. 1667 Lloyd again received a commission as captain in the foot-guards, which he appears to have sold the same day (, Gren. Guards, iii. 430). The ‘State Papers, Domestic Series,’ of this period contain frequent references to Lloyd's employment in fortifying Portsmouth Dockyard and Sheerness. There is some uncertainty as to the date of his death. He is believed to have been father of Godfrey Lloyd, who was colonel of a regiment of English foot at Portsmouth and in the West Indies at the time of the Martinique expedition (cf. treasury records).

LLOYD, HANNIBAL EVANS (1771–1847), philologist and translator, born in London in 1771, was son of Henry Humphrey Evans Lloyd [q. v.] His mother was descended from the Garnetts of Yorkshire. Both his parents died in his youth, but he was carefully brought up by some near relations. He subsequently visited the continent, and in the spring of 1800 settled at Hamburg. He suffered severely from the hardships to which Hamburg was exposed during its occupation by the French army, and joined the inhabitants in taking up arms in its defence. He eventually effected his escape, but with the loss of nearly the whole of his property. On his arrival in England in July 1813 he published, at the suggestion of Lord Bathurst, the foreign secretary, an account of his experiences at Hamburg, and about the same time received an appointment in the foreign office, the duties of which had previously been divided among several clerks, but Lloyd's extensive acquaintance with continental languages enabled him to discharge them single-handed. He retained the post till his death. A friend of Klopstock, Lloyd translated under his auspices the greater portion of ‘The Messiah,’ but did not publish his version. His excellent memory and varied acquirements made him a delightful companion. He wrote Italian verse with much elegance, and maintained a correspondence with many eminent travellers and men of science.

Lloyd died at Blackheath on 15 July 1847. By his marriage to Miss Von Schwartzkopff of Hamburg he had a son and several daughters.

Lloyd's original writings are: 1. ‘Hamburgh, or a particular account of the Transactions which took place in that City during the first six months of 1813,’ 8vo, London, 1813. 2. ‘Alexander I, Emperor of Russia, or a Sketch of his Life,’ 8vo, London, 1826. 3. ‘George IV, Memoirs of his Life and Reign,’ 8vo, London, 1830. 4. ‘Descriptive and Historical Illustrations,’ in English and French, accompanying J. Coney's ‘Architectural Beauties of Continental Europe,’ fol., London, 1831 [–34]. 5. ‘Descriptive and Historic Illustrations,’ accompanying ‘Picturesque Views in England and Wales by J. M. W. Turner,’ 2 vols. fol., London, 1832–1838. 6. ‘Theoretisch-praktische Englische Sprachlehre für Deutsche,’ 4th edit. 8vo, Hamburg, 1833, long the standard grammar in several of the German universities. 7. ‘English and German Dialogues: with a collection of idioms,’ 8vo, Hamburg, 1842.

He edited or revised Booth's ‘Battle of Waterloo;’ Rördansz's ‘European Commerce,’ 1818 (another edit. 1819); Rabenhorst's ‘German and English Dictionary,’ 1829; ‘Englisches Lesebuch (Gems of Modern English Literature),’ 8vo, Hamburg, 1832; and B. G. Babington's translation of Hecker's ‘Epidemics of the Middle Ages,’ 1844 (Sydenham Society).

Among his translations may be mentioned: Iffland's ‘Nephews,’ a play, 1799; Saabye's ‘Greenland,’ 1818; Prince Wied-Neuwied's ‘Travels in Brazil,’ 1820; Von Kotzebue's ‘Voyage of Discovery into the South Sea and Beerings Straits’ [anon.], 1821; Von Spix and Von Martins's ‘Travels in Brazil,’ 1824; Timkovsky's ‘Travels of the Russian Mission through Mongolia to China,’ 1827; Von Raumer's ‘England in 1835,’ 3 vols. 1836, in collaboration with Sarah Austin; Wolff and Doering's ‘German Tourist,’ 1837; Von Raumer's ‘Political History of England,’ 2 vols. 1837; Waagen's ‘Works of Art and Artists in England,’ 1838; Count Björnstjerna's ‘British Empire in the East’ [anon.], 1840; Von Raumer's ‘England in 1841,’ 1842; Prince Wied-Neuwied's ‘Travels in the Interior of North America,’ 1843; Björnstjerna's ‘Theogony of the Hindoos’ [anon.], 1844; Dahlmann's ‘History of the English Revolution,’ 1844; Von Orlich's ‘Travels in India,’ 1845; Prince Pueckler-Muskau's ‘Egypt under Mehemet Ali,’ 1845; Tams's ‘Visit to the Portuguese Possessions in South-

He was on the verge of "banging about" again.

They heard a jingle in the passage, the large soft impact of a servant's indoor boots. As if she were a part, a mitigatory part of Fate, came Gwendolen to lay the midday meal. Kipps displayed self-control forthwith. Ann picked up the bib again and bent over it, and the Kippses bore themselves gloomily perhaps, but not despairfully, while their dependant was in the room. She spread the cloth and put out the cutlery with a slow inaccuracy, and Kipps, after a whisper to himself, went again to the window. Ann got up and put away her work methodically in the cheffonier.

"When I think," said Kipps, as soon as the door closed again behind Gwendolen, "when I think of the 'ole people and 'aving to tell 'em of it all—I want to smesh my 'ead against the nearest wall. Smesh my silly brains out! And Buggins—Buggins what I'd 'arf promised to start in a lill' outfitting shop in Rendezvous Street." …

He stood for a moment, regarding the meal doubtfully.

"I don't feel as if I could swaller a moufful," he said.

"You got to eat," said Ann.…

For a time they said little, and once swallowing was achieved, ate on with a sort of melancholy appetite. Each was now busy thinking.

"After all," said Kipps, presently, "whatever 'appens, they can't turn us out or sell us up before nex' quarter-day. I'm pretty sure about that."

"Sell us up!" said Ann.

"I dessey we're bankrup'," said Kipps, trying to say it easily and helping himself with a trembling hand to unnecessary potatoes.

Then a long silence. Ann ceased to eat, and there were silent tears.

"More potatoes, Artie?" choked Ann.

"I couldn't," said Kipps. "No."

He pushed back his plate, which was indeed replete with potatoes, got up and walked about the room. Even the dinner-table looked distraught and unusual.

"What to do, I don't know," he said.

"Oh, Lord!" he ejaculated, and picked up and slapped down a book.

Then his eye fell upon another postcard that had

Rh Western Africa,’ 1845; and Von Feuchtersleben's ‘Principles of Medical Psychology,’ 1847, revised by B. G. Babington (Sydenham Society).

Lloyd was a constant contributor to the ‘Literary Gazette’ from its commencement in 1817, chiefly on foreign archæology and the fine arts.

LLOYD, HENRY, or HENRY HUMPHREY EVANS (1720?–1783), author of ‘A Political and Military Rhapsody,’ born probably in 1720, was the son of a Welsh clergyman, from whom he received a liberal education, and is described as of Cwmbychan, Merionethshire (, Eminent Welshmen; Biog. Univers.) Cwmbychan is a farm in the upper part of Llanbedr parish, Merionethshire, owned by the Lloyds for centuries, and recently sold on the emigration of the last of the family. The parish registers of Llanbedr, however, go back no further than 1745 (information from the Rev. D. Owen, vicar). Lloyd's friend, John Drummond, first met him in France in 1744, and says that he was then between twenty and thirty, a lay brother in a religious house. Lloyd stated that he was the son of a Welsh clergyman, and, after some training for the church and the law, had come to France to obtain a commission in the French army. Disappointed in this, he had entered the novitiate as a monk. Lloyd was recommended to the Drummonds as a military instructor who had taught geography and field-fortification to some officers of the Irish brigade. At Fontenoy (11 May 1745) Lloyd was with Drummond, then a lieutenant in Lord John Drummond's Royal Écossais. Lloyd's clever sketches of the villages round Fontenoy attracted the notice of M. Richauard, the French commanding engineer, who obtained permission from Marshal Saxe for Lloyd to accompany the army as a mounted draughtsman, with the rank of sub-ensign (sub-engineer?). Lloyd was appointed third engineer, with a captain's commission from the Pretender, in the expedition of 1745 to Scotland; and, Drummond says, was on board the Elizabeth, and severely wounded in her action with the Lion [see ]. Lloyd followed the prince from Moidart to Carlisle, where the rebel forces arrived early in November 1745. He was then sent on a mission to ‘friends’ in North Wales, and did not rejoin in Scotland. A rising in Flintshire was at the time generally expected (, Letters, i. 404). He reconnoitred Milford Haven and Bridgwater and Barnstaple bays, and the approaches to Plymouth, and carefully examined the coast from Dover and the Downs round into the port of London, where he was arrested on suspicion. When Drummond (protected by his French commission) arrived in London after Culloden (16 April 1746), he found Lloyd in custody of one Carrington, a king's messenger, in Jermyn Street. He probably changed his name, as it has not been found in the ‘Home Office Lists’ of ‘prisoners in charge of messengers’ about this time. Drummond made interest for Lloyd with ‘a relative, a noble duke,’ and took him as his English tutor, pretending he had never seen him before. They went back to France together, and Lloyd distinguished himself as an engineer at the siege of Bergen-op-Zoom in 1747, and was made a major in the French army. When Drummond entered the Spanish service in 1748 his father recommended Lloyd to Marshal Keith (1696–1758) [q. v.], and Drummond understood that Lloyd entered the Prussian service. By another account he was travelling to collect information respecting the various armies of Europe, much of which was published, in tabulated form, in 1760, by Millan of Whitehall, as ‘Capt. Lloyd's Lists.’ In 1754 Drummond found Lloyd again in the service of France, a lieutenant-colonel, with pay of five livres a day. Lloyd was sent to England to report on the feasibility of a descent on the southern coast. He adopted the guise of a ‘rider’ or commercial traveller. Drummond states that it was chiefly due to Lloyd's representations that the Marshal de Belleisle's project of an invasion was abandoned. Drummond adds that Lloyd afterwards served in the Austrian and Russian armies, and that when he next met him in London in 1756, Lloyd explained that he too had made his peace with the British government, and was in receipt of a pension of 500l. a year.

Lloyd states that he made the earlier campaigns of the seven years' war in the quartermaster-general's department of the Austrian army, under Count Lacy, and that in 1760 he ‘was entrusted with a very considerable detachment of cavalry and infantry, with orders never to lose sight of the Prussian army, which he punctually complied with, and was never unfortunate’ (Hist. of the War, vol. i., Preface). Lloyd is said to have suddenly quitted the Austrian service, in which he held the rank of major-general, owing to a dispute about promotion. His further statements imply that he made the concluding campaigns of the same war on the opposite side, with Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick (ib.), to whom the first volume of his account of the war (London, 1766) is dedicated. Lloyd is sometimes stated to

CH. III come from Chitterlow by the morning's post, and which now lay by him on the mantel-shelf. He took it up, glanced at its imperfectly legible message, and put it down.

"Delayed!" he said, scornfully. "Not prodooced in the smalls. Or is it smells 'e says? 'Ow can one understand that? Any'ow 'e's 'umbugging again.… Somefing about the Strand. No! Well, 'e's 'ad all the money 'e'll ever get out of me! … I'm done."

He seemed to find a momentary relief in the dramatic effect of his announcement. He came near to a swagger of despair upon the hearthrug, and then suddenly came and sat down next to Ann and rested his chin on the knuckles of his two clenched hands.

"I been a fool, Ann," he said in a gloomy monotone. "I been a brasted fool. But it's 'ard on us, all the same. It's 'ard."

"'Ow was you to know?" said Ann.

"I ought to 'ave known. I did in a sort of way know. And 'ere we are! I wouldn't care so much if it was myself, but it's you, Ann! 'Ere we are! Regular smashed up! And you" He checked at an unspeakable aggravation of their disaster. "I knew 'e wasn't to be depended upon and there I left it! And you got to pay.… What's to 'appen to us all, I don't know."

He thrust out his chin and glared at fate.

"'Ow do you know 'e's speckylated everything?" said Ann, after a silent survey of him.

"She say so?"

"She don't know, of course, but you depend upon it that's it. She told me she knew something was on, and when she found 'im gone and a note lef for her she knew it was up with 'im. 'E went by the night boat. She wrote that telegram off to me straight away."

Ann surveyed his features with tender, perplexed eyes; she had never seen him so white and drawn before, and her hand rested an inch or so away from his arm. The actual loss was still, as it were, afar from her. The immediate thing was his enormous distress.

"'Ow do you know?" she said and stopped. It would irritate him too much.

Kipps' imagination was going headlong.

"Sold up!" he emitted presently, and Ann flinched.

"Going back to work, day after day—I can't stand it, Ann, I can't. And you"

"It don't do to think of it," said Ann.

Presently he came upon a resolve. "I keep on thinking of it, and thinking of it, and what's to be done and what's to be done. I shan't be any good 'ome s'arfernoon. It keeps on going 'round and 'round in my 'ead, and 'round and 'round. I better go for a walk or something. I'd be no comfort to you, Ann.

Rh have been employed in negotiating the marriage of Queen Charlotte with George III. Although this is improbable, he may have been known to and employed by Colonel David Græme of Gorthy, who was sent on a confidential mission to Germany previous to the marriage (cf., Hist. George III, vol. i. chap. vi.), and was intimate with the leading Jacobites. A British passport issued to Lloyd in 1767 describes him as ‘the Sieur Lloyd, major-général, sujet de Sa Majesté Britannique’ (Home Office Passes, 1760–84, p. 61). In 1774 Lloyd distinguished himself in command of a Russian division at the siege of Silistria, and was afterwards nominated to command a force of thirty thousand men against the Swedes. He left the Russian service suddenly, the alleged ground being the refusal of the order of St. Anne, on the score of his plebeian birth. He appears to have subsequently travelled in Italy and Spain, and visited Governor Eliott at Gibraltar just before the famous siege. Lloyd states (Rhapsody, 5th edit. p. 67) that upon the alarm of invasion in 1779 he thought it his duty to examine the possible movements of the enemy and the best way of meeting them, the results being given in his ‘Rhapsody.’ Lloyd seems to have quitted England for Belgium soon afterwards, and to have there resided, occupied exclusively, it was said, with literary pursuits until his death in 1783. The second portion of his history is dated at Brussels in 1781.

Lloyd was never in the British army. There is no record at the treasury of his pension, which presumably was secret service money. He married a sister of the Chevalier James de Johnstone [q. v.], a lady remarkable for her likeness to Prince Charles Edward, in mistake for whom she was once arrested. Hannibal Evans Lloyd [q. v.] was a son by the marriage. Lloyd died suddenly at Huy, Belgium, on 19 June 1783. It is stated (Biog. Univers. vol. xxiv.) that upon his death an English emissary seized and carried off some of his papers on a plea of debt.

Lloyd was an able, though too dogmatic a writer. It has been suggested (ib.) that his axiom, Russia falls when Moscow is taken, was not without bearing on the French reverses of 1812. Carlyle describes him as ‘a man of great natural sagacity and insight, decidedly luminous and original, though of somewhat crabbed temper now and then; a man well worth hearing on this (battle of Lobowitz) or whatever else he handles’ (Hist. Frederick the Great, vol. vii. note to p. 91). Lloyd's principal works were: 1. ‘History of the War between the King of Prussia and the Empress of Germany and her Allies.’ The first volume, by a ‘General Officer who made several Campaigns with the Austrians,’ appeared in London in 1766. The second part in two volumes, including miscellaneous dissertations, is dated at Brussels, and was published in 1782 in London. The author gives his name, and promises a continuation of the history, which never appeared. A German translation, with a continuation, was published in five volumes at Berlin in 1785, by the Prussian general Templehof, and Lloyd and Templehof were followed by Jomini in his great treatises on the art of war. 2. ‘A Political and Military Rhapsody on the Defence of Great Britain’ was first published in 1779 in London. On the author's death one hundred guineas is said to have been paid by a nobleman for a single copy. Four posthumous English editions appeared between 1790 and 1805, to which the biographical account by John Drummond is prefixed. Lloyd's works have been translated into other languages and re-translated, and portions of them have been published separately, under other titles, and without acknowledgment.

LLOYD, HUGH (1546–1601), master of Winchester College, born in 1546 in Lleyn, Carnarvonshire, entered Winchester in 1560 (, Winchester Scholars, p. 136). Proceeding to New College, Oxford, he was admitted probationary fellow on 5 Jan. 1562, and perpetual fellow in 1564 (Oxf. Univ. Reg., Oxf. Hist. Soc., vol. i.) He graduated B.A. in 1566, B.C.L. in 1570, and D.C.L. in 1588. He resigned his fellowship in 1578 upon being appointed chancellor of Rochester; in 1579 he was presented to the vicarage of Charlbury, Oxfordshire, and was master (‘informator’) of Winchester from 1580 to 1587. On 12 Nov. 1584 he was made prebendary of St. Paul's (, Fasti, ed. Hardy, ii. 418), and in 1588 became rector of Islip, near Oxford. He died on 17 Oct. 1601, and was buried in New College outer chapel. He was brother of John Lloyd (1558–1603) [q. v.]

Lloyd compiled ‘Phrases elegantiores ex Cæsaris Commentariis, Cicerone, aliisque, in usum Scholæ Winton. (Dictata),’ 2 pts. 8vo, Oxford, 1654, which was edited by John Lamphire [q. v.]

He looked at her between pleading and shame. It seemed like deserting her.

Ann regarded him with tear-dimmed eyes.

"You'd better do what's good for you, Artie," she said.… "I'll be best cleaning. It's no use sending off Gwendolen before her month, and the top room wants turning out." She added with a sort of grim humour: "May as well turn it out now while I got it."

"I better go for a walk," said Kipps.…

And presently our poor exploded Kipps was marching out to bear his sudden misery. Habit turned him up the road towards his growing house, and then suddenly he perceived his direction—"Oh, Lor'!"—and turned aside and went up the steep way to the hill crest and the Sandling Road, and over the line by that tree-embowered Junction, and athwart the wide fields towards Postling—a little, black, marching figure—and so up the Downs and over the hills, whither he had never gone before.…

He came back long after dark, and Ann met him in the passage.

"Where you been, Artie?" she asked, with a strained note in her voice.

LLOYD, HUGH (1586–1667), bishop of Llandaff, said to be a native of Cardiganshire and of good parentage, was born in 1586. He matriculated about 1607 at Oxford as a servitor of Oriel College. He graduated B.A. 12 Nov. 1611, and proceeded M.A. 30 June 1614, when he had entered holy orders. He was subsequently elected a fellow of Jesus College, and proceeded B.D. in 1624 and D.D. in 1638. In 1617 he became rector of St. Andrew, and in 1626 rector of St. Nicholas, both in Glamorganshire. On 20 June 1632 he was recommended to Secretary Nicholas for promotion. In 1637 he was presented to the sinecure rectory of Denbigh, and in 1638 to the rectory of Hirnant, Montgomeryshire. On 19 Oct. 1644 he was collated canon and archdeacon of St. Davids. He was a staunch royalist, and his benefices were sequestered during the civil wars. Walker says that he was allowed his fifths for some years, but was at last deprived of them. He is probably the Hugh Lloyd of Radnor for whose arrest orders were given 9 Feb. 1650, and in 1652 his lands and estates here were forfeited for treason (, ii. 211; Cal. State Papers, February 1650). On 24 Aug. 1654 he seems to have been performing some ecclesiastical duties at Fordham in Cambridgeshire. At the Restoration he was elected bishop of Llandaff, 17 Oct. 1660, with the prebend of Caire in that church, and consecrated, along with six others, on 18 Nov. He was reinstated in the archdeaconry of St. Davids, which he was allowed to hold in commendam, was made in 1661 rector of Llangattock, Brecknockshire, and was restored to his livings in Montgomeryshire and Glamorganshire. He died 7 June 1667, and was buried in Llandaff Cathedral.

Lloyd was author of: 1. ‘Articles of Visitation and Enquiry concerning matters Ecclesiastical,’ London, 1662, 4to. 2. A letter to his clergy, 29 Oct. 1662, concerning the support of free schools in the diocese, printed in Wood, iv. 835. The ‘Phrases Elegantiores,’ Oxford, 1654, 8vo, has been assigned to him; it is by Hugh Lloyd (1546–1601) [q. v.]

LLOYD, HUMPHREY (1610–1689), bishop of Bangor, third son of Richard Lloyd, D.D., vicar of Ruabon, Denbighshire, was born at Bod-y-Fudden, parish of Trawsfynydd, Merionethshire, in 1610. He matriculated from Jesus College, Oxford, 25 Jan. 1627–8, aged 17, but, 23 Jan. 1629–30, graduated B.A. from Oriel College, where he became fellow in 1631, and was tutor for many years. He proceeded M.A. 12 May 1635, and was created D.D. 12 Sept. 1661. He took holy orders, and was made chaplain to Archbishop Williams, to whom he owed a long succession of ecclesiastical preferments. On 9 April 1644 Williams presented him to the prebend of Ampleforth in York Cathedral, actually investing him; but when Lloyd set out for York his installation was prevented by the advance of the Scotch army. Accordingly he did not enjoy the prebend till the Restoration, when it was considered as having lapsed into the king's hands, and was regranted to Lloyd on his petition (Cal. State Papers, Charles II, xii. 57).

Walker represents Lloyd as having been deprived of the vicarage of Ruabon. In the ‘Lords' Journals,’ however, there is an order, 10 June 1647, for the induction of Lloyd into the vicarage of Ruabon, ‘he taking the national league and covenant.’ He probably took the test, but was afterwards engaged in treasonable transactions. His name occurs in a list of royalists in 1654, and all the petitions presented for him in 1660 to Charles II mention the fact of his sequestration and imprisonment (see also, Antiq. i. 356). At the Restoration he petitioned for the deanery of Bangor, the archdeaconry of Nottingham, and the prebend of Ampleforth, and was granted the last of these, holding it in commendam on his election as bishop. On 13 Aug. 1661 he was made canon of St. Asaph, dean of St. Asaph 14 Dec. 1663, holding it till 1674. He held the sinecure of Northop in Flint from 1661 till 19 Dec. 1664, and in 1673 removed from Ruabon to the vicarage of Gresford. He was enthroned bishop of Bangor 5 Jan. 1673–4, and held at the same time the archdeaconries of Bangor and Anglesey, which he had procured with a sinecure rectory to be united to the see for the benefit of the cathedral fabric. He became canon of Bangor in 1676 and added another sinecure rectory to his preferments. He died on 18 Jan. 1688–9, and was buried in Bangor Cathedral. He married Jane, daughter of John —— Griffyth of Llyn, and widow of Owen Brereton of Burros. By her he had three sons, John, Francis, and Richard.

Rh Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him. Go back again: for what have I done to thee? And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children; yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away. Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not. And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent. Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again. And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.

LLOYD, HUMPHREY (1800–1881), provost of Trinity College, Dublin, and man of science, eldest son of the Rev. Bartholomew Lloyd [q. v.], by Eleanor McLaughlin, was born in Dublin on 16 April 1800. Having received his early education at Mr. White's school, Dublin, he entered Trinity College there in 1815, gaining first prize, out of sixty-three competitors, at the entrance examination, which was at that time altogether classical. His college career was very distinguished. He obtained a scholarship in 1818, and graduated B.A. in 1819, taking first place and the gold medal for science, and proceeding M.A. in 1827, and D.D. in 1840. He became a junior fellow in 1824, and a senior fellow in 1843. He devoted himself especially to scientific study, and in 1831 succeeded his father as Erasmus Smith's professor of natural and experimental philosophy. During his tenure of this chair he sought successfully to improve the position of physical science in the university.

His own investigations in optics produced some remarkable results. At the meeting of the British Association in 1833 he gave an account of what was perhaps his most notable single scientific achievement (notice in Proceedings of Royal Society, vol. xxxi.), viz. his establishment by experiment of the existence of conical refraction in biaxial crystals, in conformity with the theoretical anticipations of Sir William Rowan Hamilton [q. v.] (see Report of the British Association for 1833; Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy, vol. xvii.; and, Memoir of Sir W. R. Hamilton). He also succeeded in establishing experimentally the law by which the polarisation of the rays composing the luminous cone is governed. In 1834 he furnished the British Association, at its request, with a valuable report on ‘The Progress and Present State of Physical Optics’ (see Report for 1834). Shortly after, by means of an experiment on the interference of light proceeding directly from a luminous source, with light coming from the same source but reflected at a very high angle of incidence from a plane surface, he was able to make a most important contribution to the theory of reflected light (see Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy, vol. xvii.) A letter from Sir David Brewster led him to turn his attention to the phenomena of light incident on thin plates. In 1841 he submitted a communication on the subject to the British Association (see Report for 1841), and in 1859 he described his complete investigation of the phenomena to the Royal Irish Academy (see Transactions, vol. xxiv.)

In the field of magnetic research he was even more successful. When the magnetic observatory of Trinity College, Dublin, was established under the auspices of his father, it was placed in his charge, and the instruments for it were devised by him and constructed under his superintendence. He was a member of the committee of the British Association, at whose solicitation, in conjunction with that of the Royal Society, the government was induced to endeavour to improve our knowledge of terrestrial magnetism by establishing observing stations at various points in Great Britain and India. He prepared the written instructions for the conduct of the observatories, and the officers appointed to take charge of them were taught by him in Dublin the practical use of the instruments (see art. viii. Quarterly Review, lxvi. 271). It was largely owing to his efforts that the enterprise was successfully carried out. Many papers which he wrote on these and other subjects are to be found in the ‘Reports’ of the British Association and in the ‘Transactions’ and ‘Proceedings’ of the Royal Irish Academy. Of the latter body he was president from 1846 to 1851, and in 1862 he was awarded by it the Cunningham gold medal. He resigned his chair of natural philosophy in 1843, on his accession to a senior fellowship in Trinity College. In 1862 he became vice-provost, and in 1867 was appointed provost, in succession to Dr. Richard MacDonnell. He was president of the British Association in 1857, when it met in Dublin, and delivered an inaugural address, which was afterwards published, in which he gave a sketch of the recent progress made in astronomy, terrestrial magnetism, and other branches of science (see Report for 1857). He died in the provost's house, Dublin, 17 Jan. 1881. Lloyd was a leading member of the general synod of the Irish church which came into existence on disestablishment, and took a specially active part in its committee for the revision of the prayer-book.

In addition to the honours already mentioned, he was a fellow of the Royal Societies of London and Edinburgh, and an honorary member of many other learned societies of Europe and America. In 1855 the university of Oxford conferred on him the degree of D.C.L., and in 1874 the emperor of Germany the order ‘Pour le Mérite.’

He married, in July 1840, Dorothea, only

LLOYD, JACOB YOUDE WILLIAM (1816–1887), genealogist, born in 1816, was eldest son of Jacob William Hinde, esq., of Ulverstone, Lancashire, afterwards of Langham Hall, Essex, by Harriet, younger daughter of the Rev. Thomas Youde of Clochfaen, Montgomeryshire, Plas Madog, Denbighshire, and Rowley's Mansion, Shrewsbury. He was educated at Wadham College, Oxford (B.A. 1839, M.A. 1874), and became curate of Banhaglog, Montgomeryshire. Afterwards he turned Roman catholic, and served in the pontifical Zouaves. Pius IX conferred upon him the knighthood of the order of St. Gregory. He was also a knight of the Saviour of Greece. On the death of his aunt in 1857 he succeeded to the estates at Clochfaen and Plas Madog, and subsequently he assumed the name of Lloyd in lieu of Hinde. The chevalier was a generous landlord, and although a Roman catholic he restored the parish church of Llangurig at a cost of 10,000l. He was a distinguished Welsh antiquary, and published several genealogical works, the chief of which is ‘The History of the Princes, the Lords Marcher, and the ancient Nobility of Powys Fadog, the ancient Lords of Arwystli, Cedewen, and Meirionydd, and many of the Descendants of the fifteen Noble Tribes of Gwynedd,’ 6 vols. London, 1881–7, 8vo. He died at Ventnor, Isle of Wight, on 14 Oct. 1887.

LLOYD, FLOYD, or FLUD, JOHN (d. 1523), composer, appears to have been born either in the parish of St. Cadocks or in that of Christchurch, at Caerleon in Monmouthshire, near the end of the fifteenth century. Foxe, bishop of Winchester, writing to Cardinal Wolsey 20 July 1515, seems to refer to the composer when describing the unruly action of the canons of St. Augustine's, Bristol. He writes that ‘one Lloyd, of the king's chapel, is chief author of this mischief … a young fool.’ It may have been to atone for some youthful indiscretion hinted at here that Lloyd resolved, in January 1518, to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Whether he was the John Fludde who graduated B.A. at Oxford in 1519 is doubtful. Hawkins describes him as bachelor of music; he certainly took a musical degree, as he is styled in Brit. Mus. Addit. MS. 31922 ‘in armonia graduat,’ and his early death makes it improbable that he obtained a doctor's degree. In 1520 Lloyd, along with the other gentlemen of Henry VIII's Chapel, attended the king at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, and in January in the following year he appears to have accompanied his royal master on a visit to the Duke of Buckingham at Thornbury Castle, Gloucestershire. At various times he received grants of corrodies in the monasteries of St. Augustine's at Bristol, Glastonbury, and Thetford. He died on 3 April 1523 ‘in the king's chapel,’ and was buried in the Savoy, being described on his tombstone there as ‘virtutis et religionis cultor.’ The only compositions of his extant are contained in Brit. Mus. Addit. MS. 31922, and consist of a round in three parts, ‘Deme

 the battle of Amoaful, the capture of Bequah, the action at Ordashu, and the taking of Coomassie. At Amoaful the fire was very hot, and the dense growth made direction difficult, but his staff were struck by his self-possession and the precision of his orders. When abscesses in his only hand made him nearly helpless, he bore his suffering with 'sweet. . . serenity.' He was repeatedly mentioned in despatches (Lond. Gaz. 6, 7 and 17 March 1874), received the thanks of parliament and the medal with clasp, and was made K.C.B. on 31 March 1874. After a few months at Aldershot, Alison went to Ireland as deputy adjutant-general on 17 Oct. 1874. He received a reward for distinguished service on 6 Oct. 1876, and was promoted major-general on 1 Oct. 1877. After four months as commandant of the Staff College at Camberley, he was deputy quartermaster-general for intelligence, and helped at the headquarters staff (1878-82) to meet the Egyptian crisis of 1882.

On 6 July Alison left England to take command of a force which was assembled at Cyprus to secure the Suez Canal. The bombardment of Alexandria took place on the llth, and Alison landed there on the 17th with two battalions which were soon reinforced. On the 24th he occupied Ramleh, and receiving instructions to 'keep Arabi constantly alarmed,' he made repeated demonstrations towards Kafr-ed-Dauar, especially on 5 Aug. Thus Arabi was led to expect that the British advance on Cairo would be from Alexandria, and not from Ismailia, as was intended. In that advance Alison commanded the highland brigade, consisting of the highland light infantry, Camerons, Gordons, and black watch. This was the leading brigade of the second (Hamley's) division in the storming of the intrenchments at Tel-el-Kebir; and Alison took a personal part, revolver in hand, in the confused fighting inside. After the surrender of Cairo he was sent to occupy Tanta with half a battalion of the Gordon highlanders (17 Sept.). He found there an Egyptian force of all arms disposed to resist; but by coolness and tact he induced them to lay down their arms (, p. 103). He was mentioned in despatches (Lond. Gaz. 29 July, 6 Oct., and 2 Nov.), received the thanks of parliament, and was promoted lieut.-general for distinguished service on 18 Nov. 1882. After Lord Wolseley's departure Alison was in command of the British force in Egypt till 17 May 1883. On his return to England a sword of honour was presented to him by the citizens of Glasgow, with a tiara for Lady Alison.

Alison held the command of the Aldershot division from 1 Aug. 1883 till the end of 1888, with the exception of part of 1885, when he acted as adjutant-general during Lord Wolseley's absence in Egypt. He received the G.C.B. on 21 June 1887, and was placed on the retired list under the age rules on 12 Jan. 1893. He was given the colonelcy of the Essex regiment on 24 Nov. 1896, and was transferred to his old regiment, the Seaforth highlanders, on 30 March 1897. He was also honorary colonel of the 1st volunteer battalion of the highland light infantry, 25 July 1883, and was made honorary LL.D. of Cambridge, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. In 1889 he was appointed a member of the Indian council, and remained on it for ten years. He died at 93 Eaton Place, London, on 5 Feb. 1907, and was buried at Edinburgh with military honours, the Seaforth highlanders taking part in the ceremony. On 18 Nov. 1858 he married Jane, daughter of James Black of Dalmonach, a Glasgow merchant. She died on 15 July 1909. She edited her father-in-law's autobiography, and was a woman of many gifts. They had two sons and four daughters. The eldest son, Archibald (the third baronet), was born on 20 May 1862. At his residence, Possil House, Copse Hill, Wimbledon, there are portraits of Alison by S. West (1865) and by Miss Munro (1900).

'Modest and self-effacing to the very verge of humility, he never asserted his individuality until duty summoned him to the front'; but he knew how to combine courtesy with insistence on duty. Among contributions to 'Blackwood,' besides those mentioned, were articles on the British army and its organisation (1869 and 1892) and on 'Armed Europe' (1893-4).

 ALLAN, WILLIAM (1837–1903), engineer and politician, born at Dundee on 29 Nov. 1837, was third son of James Allan (d. 1883), machine maker and proprietor of Seabraes Foundry, Dundee, by his wife Margaret Dickson (d. 1879). Allan served his apprenticeship as an engineer at his father's foundry. As a
