ARTHUR WILLIAM EDGAR (1844-1881).-Poet, _b._ in London, entered the library of the British Museum, afterwards being transferred to the natural history department, where he became an authority on fishes and reptiles. He _pub._ various books of poetry, including _Epic of Women_ (1870), _Lays of France_ (1872), and _Music and Moonlight_ (1874). Jointly with his wife he wrote _Toyland_, a book for children. He was associated with D.G. Rossetti and the other pre-Raphaelites. There is a certain remoteness in his poetry which will probably always prevent its being widely popular. He has a wonderful mastery of metre, and a "haunting music" all his own.
