The late Rev. Dr. Henry Stebbing, first editor of "The Athenaeum", 1883. Engraving from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company, of '...a London clergyman of very long standing and an abundant contributor to general literature...He was born in August, 1799, at Great Yarmouth, and was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge. He was for a short time second master of the Norwich Grammar School, and afterwards held the vicarage of Hughenden, but from 1829 to 1857 was minister of St. James's Chapel, Hampstead-road, and was Chaplain of University College Hospital during forty-four years. In 1857 he became Rector of St. Nicholas, Cole Abbey, in the City of London, with which parish several others were amalgamated by the Union of Benefices Act. He was the author of several works of Church History, also a " History of Chivalry and the Crusades," "Lives of the Italian Poets," a novel entitled "Near the Cloisters," several poems of some merit, and a great many critical and miscellaneous essays, being the actual editor of the Athenaeum...he continued, to the last, a diligent and devoted pastor and preacher in his sacred office. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society above forty years ago'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
