		Sir William Bowman was an English anatomist and surgeon.

		Sir Sidney Colvin does his best to be fair to Fanny, but his presentation of the story of Keats's love for her will, I am afraid, be regarded by the long line of her disparagers as an endorsement of their blame.
		Had Sir Sidney fully grasped the part played by Fanny Brawne as, for good or evil, the presiding genius of Keats as a poet, he would, I fancy, have found a different explanation of the changes introduced into the later version of La Belle Dame sans Merci.
		Sir Sidney thinks that this and other changes, which are all in the direction of the slipshod and the commonplace, were made on Hunt's suggestion, and that Keats acquiesced from fatigue or indifference." To accuse Hunt of wishing to alter " knight-at-arms " to wretched wight " seems to me unwarrantable guessing.

		Then, discarding the little vesties of warm-blooded youth and the double-width vestums of rheumatic old age, I chose several commonplace woollen affairs and was preparing to leave when my hosier and haberdasher leaned across the counter and whispered in my ear.

	Elgar's English Twilight Part Two
		Elgar's knowledge of Froissart as the opulent chronicler of pageantry came out of a reading of Sir Walter Scott's Old Mortality but the epigraph on the title page, "When chivalry lifted up her lance on high" is not from Scott or Froissart but John Keats.
		Elgar's personal contact with Binyon was through Sir Sidney Colvin, 1845 - 1927, who headed the Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum, where the younger man also worked.
		Colvin, whose intense youthful friendship with Robert Louis Stevenson had lasted till the latter's early death, had wide-ranging artistic interests, publishing many studies in the fine arts and a monograph on Keats.

	The text of T.S. Eliot's 'London Letter,' 'The Dial,' July, 1922
		It is not to the interest of English literature that the Professorship of Poetry at Oxford should pass to the servile, the indefinite, or the sluggish.
		The requirements are difficult: the good academic mind is as rare in England as the good revolutionary mind; there is an originality about the good academic mind, as essential to it as another originality is to the creative mind.
		The good critic of poetry cannot be merely an astute specialist, like Sir Sidney Lee, or an able biographer, like Sir Sidney Colvin, or a polite essayist, like Mr Edmund Gosse, or a polite moralist, like Mr Clutton-Brock.

		Although the huge collection of printed ephemera formed by Sarah Banks, the eccentric sister of Sir Joseph Banks, was given in 1818, it was only in the 1820s that the curatorial staff of the Department began to build on this base.
		The first catalogues began to be written in the 1870s, but it was in the Keepership of Sir Sidney Colvin that new staff were appointed, most notably Campbell Dodgson, Lawrence Binyon, A.M. Hind and A.E. Popham, whose scholarly publications first gave the Department the international reputation that it retains to the present day.
		Colvin realised that the collection of drawings lagged far behind the prints, and was responsible for the purchase of the Malcolm collection in 1895.

		He was willing to work not only from within outwards, but from without inwards, because he allowed so large a place for social solidity, for traditionalism, for paternalism, though he recognised that ceremony is subordinate in the scheme of life, as colour is in a painting, the picture being the real thing.
		The pygmies of Africa are described by Sir H. Johnston as a very decorous and highly moral people, but their dances, he adds, are not so.
		Like the lunatic, the lover, the poet (as a great physician, Sir William Osier, has said), the student is "of imagination all compact." It was by his "wonderful imagination," it has been well pointed out, that Newton was constantly discovering new tracks and new processes in the region of the unknown.

	"E's Favourite Picture": Elgar and the Pre-Raphaelites
		But in the same way that other eminent Victorians such as Mendelssohn and Sir George Gilbert Scott have been re-assessed favourably over the last thirty or so years, it is surely time now for an objective and unprejudiced re-evaluation of Hunt's work.
		Among Elgar's closest friends of his later years was Sir Sidney Colvin (1845-1927), the dedicatee, with his wife Frances, of the Cello Concerto.
		Colvin had been Slade Professor of Art at the University of Cambridge, and later Keeper of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum.

	Elgar - His Music : The Spirit of England
		The head of department, Sir Sidney Colvin, was a good friend of Elgar.

		Elgar prevaricated until prevailed upon by Colvin and others to proceed with his original plan.

	The text of T.S. Eliot's 'London Letter,' 'The Dial,' June, 1921
		For my part, I am more and more convinced that the Phoenix is wholly justified in its refusal to admit any expurgation whatever.
		Shakespeare (that is to say, such of his plays as are produced at all) strained through the nineteenth century, has been dwarfed to the dimensions of a part for Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson, Sir Frank Benson, or other histrionic nonentities: Shakespeare is the avenue to knighthood.
		But the continued popularity of Shakespeare perhaps has this meaning, that the appetite for poetic drama, and for a peculiarly English comedy or farce, has never disappeared; and that a native popular drama, if it existed, would be nearer to Shakespeare than to Ibsen or Chekhov.

	ISS: The R.L.S. Scripts of 1942-1944
		Going to Stevenson's collected Letters we found that our Dawn writing was an abbreviated form of the first part of a letter which Stevenson had written to his friend Sir Sidney Colvin from the schooner Equator shortly before it had dropped anchor in the harbour of Apia for the first time.
		A reader of the newspaper wrote to us from Edinburgh to inform us that the poem was the work of Sir Alfred E. Pease, a noted English traveller of the nineteenth century, and that lines five to nine (enclosed in brackets) were not part of the original poem.
		The more we studied and considered this Dawn script, the more we felt that the metre, imagery and thought of the interpolated lines not only fitted more exquisitely into the original poem, but were at the same time characteristic of the poet Stevenson.
