	William Combe - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		WILLIAM COMBE (1741-1823), English writer, the creator of "Dr Syntax," was born at Bristol in 1741.
		The circumstances of his birth and parentage are somewhat doubtful, and it is questioned whether his father was a rich Bristol merchant, or a certain William Alexander, a London alderman, who died in 1762.
		In his later years, notwithstanding a by no means unsullied character, Combe was courted for the sake of his charming conversation and inexhaustible stock of anecdote.

	William Combe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Combe (1741 – 19 June 1823) was a British miscellaneous writer.
		The circumstances of his birth in Bristol in 1741, and parentage are somewhat doubtful, and it is questioned whether his father was a rich Bristol merchant, or a certain William Alexander, a London alderman, who died in 1762.
		Alexander bequeathed him some £2000--a little fortune that soon disappeared in a course of splendid extravagance, which gained him the nickname of Count Combe; and after a chequered career as private soldier, cook and waiter, he finally settled in London (about 1771), as a law student and bookseller's hack.

		William Combe had begun his literary career with The Diaboliad (1776), a savage satire in verse on a nobleman (said to have been Simon, lord Irnham), whose cast-off mistress he had married on a promise of money, that was not paid.
		Combe, as a satirist, is still readable for the vigour and rapidity of his verse; but he had not the temperament nor the talent to achieve greatness.
		Combe, thereupon, wrote, or dictated, the requisite number of lines (the printer, as the story goes, waiting in Combe’s presence for his “copy” lest the dilatory author should postpone his task).

		GEORGE COMBE (1788-1858), Scottish phrenologist, elder brother of the above, was born in Edinburgh on the 21st of October 1788.
		By his lectures and writings he attracted public attention to the subject on the continent of Europe and in America, as well as at home; and a long discussion with Sir William Hamilton in 1827-1828 excited general interest.
		In 1836 he offered himself as a candidate for the chair of logic at Edinburgh, but was rejected in favour of Sir William Hamilton.

	Literature Winner 1970 / Cleveland Arts Prize
		What made Combe an even more fascinating a character was the fact that he had taken elaborate measures to obscure the facts of his own biography.
		Combe’s “escape from his cell”, whenever it occurred, was no more than permission to live outside the walls but within “the Rules”, a carefully defined area surrounding the prison.
		Combe’s nightly violation of the Rules of the King’s Bench could not but finally come to the attention of the authorities, and in June 1808 they took action.

		The fashion owed much to the books of William Gilpin, a clergyman, who, in 1782, published his Observations on the River Wye and several parts of South Wales, where the picturesque was easily found.
		Gilpin who, in his views on education and on poor-law reform, was in advance of his time, was in advance of it, also, in his drawings, which have been described as studies for landscape rather than portraits of particular places.
		Gilpin, in fact, was the apostle of the picturesque; and the illustrated tour (which brought Dr. Syntax a handsome sum of money) was a fashion of the day.

	Article 4 **********
		From a legal viewpoint William Johnson and John Jackson only set their seals to the Blackfriars deeds, but they wrote their names on the seal-tab in the form of their signatures.
		The party who did not sign was William Shakespeare; he did not write his name himself on the tab either; the surname is written by a clerc with the typical, somewhat arcane clerical abbreviations.
		Indeed, it is difficult to see why William Shakespeare would not have "hereunto put my hand and seal" as other authors did, as other actors did, as his own son-in-law did as well as his granddaughter, as all literate people in sufficiently good health did.

		Stuart and Jarrott stand out for their clear lack of dialect, and given the more than passable and often remarkable work from the remainder of the cast, these omissions are glaring.
		While Jarrott successfully captures Combe in terms of character -- likable despite an obvious attitude of superiority -- Stuart's Shakespeare is a wan and vague figure.
		Bond seems to have imbued his Shakespeare with a fire similar to some of the other characters, but here, a figure that should be the most interesting one on the stage is the least engaging of all.
