	Joseph Ritson - LoveToKnow 1911
		JOSEPH RITSON (1752-1803), English antiquary, was born at Stockton-on-Tees, of a Westmorland yeoman family, on the 2nd of October 1752.
		In nearly all the small points with which he dealt Ritson was in the right, and his corrections have since been adopted, but the unjustly bitter language of his criticisms roused great anger at the time, much, it would appear, to Ritson's delight.
		As early as 1796 Ritson showed signs of mental collapse, and on the loth of September 1803 he became completely insane, barricaded himself in his chambers at Gray's Inn, made a bonfire of manuscripts, and was finally forcibly removed to Hoxton, where he died on the 23rd of the month.

	October 2nd
		Ritson was born October 2, 1752, at Stocktonupon-Tees, Durham, and was bred to the legal profession; he ultimately came to London, entered Gray's Inn, and was called to the bar by the society there in 1789.
		Percy desired to make his work popular, an object in which he certainly succeeded, but Ritson's attacks embittered his triumph; and were carried by the antiquary so far, as to heedlessly annoy the worthy prelate, for he ultimately denied the existence of the manuscript from which Percy professed to obtain his originals.
		Ritson had no patience for looseness of diction or assertion; and an amusing anecdote of this is given by Sir Walter Scott, who was intimate with him.

		Joseph Ritson (1752-1803), antiquary, vegetarian, conveyancer, barrister, political radicalist, and eventual psychotic, is best remembered for his work in the field of literature, particularly popular poetry, and his vicious criticism of his scholarly contemporaries.
		As a long-time avid student of historical poetry, his criticisms were nearly always valid and founded upon extensive knowledge and research, yet the insulting and bitter tones of his writing made him intensely unpopular among his peers.

		So at the present time no one knows just where old Ritson’s grave is, only that within that vast enclosure where so many thousand souls sleep their last sleep the dust of the famous ballad-lover lies fast asleep in the bosom of mother earth.
		It was his misfortune that Ritson quarreled with everybody.
		Yet Ritson was a scrupulously honest man; he was so vulgarly sturdy in his honesty that he would make all folk tell the truth even though the truth were of such a character as to bring the blush of shame to the devil’s hardened cheek.
