Artist and author, born in London on the 26th of March 1809. He died at sea, on a voyage from Malta to Marseilles on the 25th of September 1854. He was a pupil of Britton, the architect, who afterward employed him to make drawings for his Cathedral Antiquities and Picturesque Antiquities of English Cities. He visited America several times, and traveled in Europe and in the Holy Land, enriching his portfolio with numerous interesting scenes. There were devoted to these countries no less than 19 quarto volumes, containing about 1,000 engravings from his sketches, and letterpress from his own pen, and those of his fellow-travelers, Dr. W. Beattie, N. P. Willis and Miss Pardoe. Walks About Jerusalem; The Topography of Jerusalem; The Nile Boat; and Pictures from Sicily, are among his other works.
