| Writer, born in Dublin, Ireland. He studied at Trinity College, Dublin, and went to Göttingen to study medicine. His most popular work, Charles O'Malley (1840), is a description of his own college life in Dublin. His travels took him to North America and Europe, and he related his experiences in many novels, including Arthur O'Leary (1844), Knight of Gwynne (1847), and Luttrel of Arran (1865). In 1858 he was appointed British vice-consul in Spezia (1858), and promoted to the consulship in Trieste in 1867. |
