Biographical details

Arnold Glover,  1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 16… (1911)

“ His father, Henry P. J. Layard, of the Ceylon Civil Service, was the son of Charles Peter Layard, dean of Bristol, and grandson of Daniel Peter Layard, the physician. Through his mother, a daughter of Nathaniel Austen, banker, of Ramsgate, he inherited Spanish blood. This strain of cosmopolitanism must have been greatly strengthened by the circumstances of his education. Much of his boyhood was spent in Italy, where he received part of his schooling, and acquired a taste for the fine arts and a love of travel; but he was at school also in England, France and Switzerland. ”

Arnold Glover,  An index to the collected works of William Hazlitt (1906)

“ Tony Lumpkin, Don Quixote, Dr Faustus. The names of real persons are indexed in the ordinary way. In the very heavy list of Quotations the method adopted has followed so far as seemed possible that in use in the Index to Quotations in Notes and Queries. The list of quotations has been very considerably lightened by leaving out almost all phrases from Shakespeare and Milton: to have added these would have made the list of quotations almost double its present length, so often did Hazlitt quote from these two. ”

Arnold Glover,  1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 16… (1911)

“ An abbreviation of this work, which as a book of travel is even more delightful than its predecessors, was published in 1894, shortly after the author’s death, with a brief introductory notice by Lord Aberdare. Layard also from time to time contributed papers to various learned societies, including the Huguenot Society, of which he was first president. ”
