Wright, John, b. in Ayrshire, Scotland, 1805, and apprenticed to a carpet-weaver in his 13th year, in 1825 published by subscription a poem entitled The Retrospect. "In 1853, having become the victim of intemperance, some of his literary friends published the whole of his poetical works in a duodecimo volume, and he died soon after in a Glasgow hospital. His 'Retrospect' abounds with beautiful passages, and many of his poems and songs are destined to survive."-Genl. James Grant Wilson to S. Austin Allibone, 1870.

During his second visit to Russia he brought out Les Contemporains Russes, a series of portraits engraved and published by himself of Living Public Characters of that country. He left in MS. translations of poems and prose pieces from the Russian. See Lon. Gent. Mag., 1849, ii. 211, (Obituary.) Wright, Thomas, one of the most eminent of modern antiquaries, b. April 21, 1810, in the vicinity of Ludlow, a town on the borders of Shropshire and Herefordshire, received his early education at the GrammarSchool of King Edward VI. in that town, and afterwards studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took the degree of B.A. in 1834 and of M.A. in 1837. Whilst yet an under-graduate, he was a zealous explorer of the valuable historical MSS. preserved in the libraries of the University, and from time to time communicated the results of his investigations to the pages of The Foreign Quarterly Review, The Gentleman's Magazine, Fraser's Magazine, The Literary Gazette, &c. These articles contributed largely towards laying the foundation of the more recent popularity of antiquarian studies, and of the more correct principles on which they have been pursued. Adopting the profession of a man of letters, in 1835 Mr. Wright removed to London, where-with the exception of the time devoted to tours of observation and superintendence of archæological explorations-he

has ever since resided. Shortly after his arrival in Lon

don he was introduced to Monsieur Guizot, who appointed him a corresponding member of the Committee charged by the French Government with the publication of documents connected with the History of France; and in 1842 (on the death of the Earl of Munster) he was elected a corresponding member of the Institute of France, (Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres,) when it was stated that he was the youngest person who had received that honour. He was one of the founders of The Camden Society in 1838, and of the Percy Society (of which he was for some time treasurer and secretary) and Shakespeare Society in 1840; and in 1843, in conjunction with Charles Roach Smith, (supra,) he founded The British Archæological Association,the Journal and other publications of which he edited until 1850, when he withdrew. He is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, to whose Archæologia he has been a frequent contributor, and a member of many learned societies at home and abroad. In 1853-54 he edited a new series of The Retrospective Review, (Series I., 1820-26, 14 vols. 8vo, Series II., 1827-28, 2 vols. 8vo,) which only reached two volumes. He has contributed papers to Edin Rev., New Month. Mag., Ainsworth's Mag., Macmillan's Mag., Athenæum, Art Journal, and

Intellectual Observer, in addition to the periodicals already cited. Nor should we omit to state that the annual Archæological Congresses held at different places in England were originated at Canterbury in 1844 by his exertions.
