David Masson’s essay entitled “The Pre-Raphaelites” published in 1852, four years after the foundation of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, will be examined.
Masson introduces the Pre-Raphaelites as a kind of clique whose intention was the “aiding and abetting each other while they prosecuted the study of Art in a new and somewhat peculiar manner” (Masson 574).
Masson goes on to say that their work was different from Dutch naturalism because, like Wordsworth, they extolled the imaginative and creative instead of repeated subject matter.

 §60. Masson’s "Life of Milton". II. Historians, Biographers and Political Orators. Vol. 14. The Victorian ...
The most important English biography produced in the mid-Victorian age was David Masson’s Life of Milton, narrated in connection with the Political, Ecclesiastical, and Literary History of his Time (1859–80).
Masson’s style, rather conspicuously, lacked ease and grace, without possessing that irresistible note of individuality—the individuality of genius—which belonged to the style of his friend Carlyle.
But, in candour and sincerity, at all events, the biographer of Milton was equal to the editor of Cromwell’s letters, and he surpassed the greater writer in assiduity of research and in the simplicity of his attitude towards the facts of history.

 British Theory and Criticism: 4. Victorian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
David Masson (1822-1907), the reviewer whom Arnold misquotes in his 1853 preface and the author of important critical pieces collected in Essays Biographical and Critical (1856), draws attention to distinctive Spasmodic features of language that help distinguish poetical ideas from scientific ones.
Masson repeats Immanuel Kant's teaching that whereas scientific understanding translates sensory facts into concepts, the poet's imagination is effective, not in duplicating nature, but in creating a second and stronger nature.
Masson's arresting word for this process is the imagination's capacity to "secrete" fictitious circumstance (431).

Young Masson was educated at the college of Sainte Barbe, and at the lyce Louis-le-Grand, and then travelled in Germany and in England; from 1869 to 1880 he was librarian at the Foreign Office.
These were notes, extracts from historical, philosophical and literary books, and personal reflections in which one can watch the growth of the ideas later carried out by the emperor with modifications necessitated by the force of circumstances and his own genius.

 The Caltraps of Time by David I Masson - an infinity plus review
My overwhelming impression of David Masson as a writer, having approached his work here for the first time, is that he's a powerhouse for ideas, but absolutely terrible at using them.
Language is a more central concern in "Not So Certain"; now, being a linguist myself, I'm delighted to have read a hard SF story in which the hard science in question is phonology, but in all honesty, there's not much scope in that field for dramatic plot twists.
Masson appears to have firmly grasped the second point, but I really don't think he's got the hang of the first.

When Wark entered the University of Melbourne at the beginning of 1917 Masson was at the height of his powers and influence and was leading the move to establish a government-financed research facility directed to the solution of industrial problems and the promotion of new industrial enterprise.
Masson' s protege and next in seniority in the department, A.C.D. Rivett, returned to Melbourne from the U.K., where he had been engaged in munitions production, at the beginning of 1919.

 §36. John Hill Burton. II. Historians, Biographers and Political Orators. Vol. 14. The Victorian Age, Part Two. ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
John Hill Burton’s History of Scotland, from 1688 to 1745, of which the first portion appeared in 1853, was enlarged by successive additions of earlier periods, and, after Tytler’s death, was, in 1870, finally published as extending from Agricola to the last Jacobite rising.
His History of Scotland justified his appointment as Scottish historiographer-royal; but, although the fruit of long and unwearying research, it is ill-arranged and loose in composition, and only held the field because of the absence of a competitor in command of the same abundance of material.
Burton’s History of the Reign of Queen Anne (1880), though containing curious matter, is as little satisfactory a piece of work as ever came from a historian’s hands; but it was the last larger effort of a long and laborious life.
