BARRETT, E. S. A man of great promise and talent, and author
of numerous works, chiefly anon. or pseudm., a complete list
of which we have attempted, as none is to be found elsewhere.
His works seem to be in comparative obscurity, doubtless in
consequence of the early death of the author. Books are like
children: they require fostering and bringing up with the
greatest care: to give them birth is not alone sufficient.
Fortunate, therefore, is a departed author whose works obtain
intelligent editing. He was of Irish birth, though educated in
England, and a student of the Middle Temple, but his time was
eventually devoted to literature, for at the age of twenty-one he
published two satirical poems--see _Polypus_ and _Hogg_ (_C._);
but even while at school he wrote a play, with prologue and
epilogue, which was performed before the master and his family
with so much success that the master prohibited any future
dramatic performances, fearing that he might incur blame for
encouraging too much taste for the theatre. (N. & Q. 1 S. viii.)
The Comet, a mock newspaper, 1808 [anon?]; The Tarantula, or
Dance of Fools, a Squib, 1809 [anon?] is also attributed to him;
Woman, a poem, 1810, published, as he says in his preface to the
2nd edit., 1818, “not at the ‘request of friends,’ but contrary
to their opinion, ... it met with no success”; The Heroine, or
Adventures of [a fair romance-reader, 1st edit.] Cherubina,
(motto) “L’Histoire d’une Femme est toujours un Roman,” 1813. 2nd
edit., 1814. It is in letters, and the Biog. Dict., 1816, says,
has been pronounced not inferior in wit and humour to “Tristram
Shandy.” “The absurdities of a school of fiction, at that time
in high favour, are happily ridiculed; and a novel which had
great success in its day, and is still to be found in some of the
circulating libraries, called _Six Weeks at Long’s_” (N. & Q. 1
S. viii. 423). “My wife! what a wife?” a comedy ... performed at
the Theatre Royal Haymarket, 1815. See _The Author of all the
Talents_. In private, his worth and attractive manners are said
to have gained him the esteem of his friends. He died, 1820, in
Glamorganshire, of a rapid decline, occasioned by the bursting of
a blood vessel, when in about the thirty-sixth year of his age.

COLTON, Rev. Charles Caleb, was the son of the Rev. Burfoot
Colton, canon residentiary of Salisbury, Born about 1780, and
educated at Eton and Christ Church College, Cambridge, where he
took his B.A. and M.A., and in due course obtained a fellowship.
He was presented by his College to the Curacy of Tiverton; in
1818 he succeeded to the united livings of Kew and Petersham.
Colton first attracted notice by a pamphlet on the “Sampford
Ghost,” 1810 (for other works see Watt. Bib. Brit.) See _The
Author of Hypocrisy_, 1819. The “Lacon” was first published in
1820-22, and has been frequently republished; it is from the
edition of William Tegg, 1866, that we obtain these particulars
of Colton’s life:--He was a man of ready susceptibility,
but of very infirm principles, eccentric in manner, extravagant
in his habits, and irremediably addicted to gambling and its
attendant vices. Having contracted debts to a large amount
chiefly for diamonds, jewellery, and wines, a fiat of Bankruptcy
was issued against him. Bewildered by the number and gravity
of his pecuniary obligations, Colton secretly embarked for the
United States. This happening about the time of the murder of
Weare, it was at first strongly suspected that he too had fallen
by the hand of an assassin; but the secret of his whereabouts
soon oozed out, and in 1822 a successor was appointed to his
living. Returning to Europe, after a sojourn of some years in
America [where surely he must have published something?] he
took up his abode in Paris, where he was so successful in his
gambling speculations, that in the course of a year or two he
acquired a considerable fortune (it is said £25,000), but it was
soon dissipated. After a life checquered by nearly every phase
of good and adverse fortune, preferring suicide to the endurance
of a painful surgical operation, he blew his brains out at
Fontainebleau, in April, 1832; and this was the act of the man
who, in his ‘Lacon’ utters this aphorism:--“The gamester, if he
die a martyr to his profession, is doubly ruined. He adds his
soul to every other loss, and by the act of suicide renounces
earth to forfeit heaven.”
