Gray's poems were published. In 1869 a See also:horse, which he was See also:riding, See also:fell and rolled over with him. His See also:health, which had for several years necessitated his wintering abroad, was seriously affected by this See also:accident, and he was from this time more or less of an invalid, until his See also:death on the .22nd of See also:August 1874.
As a poet Dobell belongs to the " spasmodic school," as it was named by See also:Professor See also:Aytoun, who parodied its See also:style in Firmilian. The epithet, however, was first applied by Carlyle to See also:Byron. The school includes George See also:Gilfillan, Philip James Bailey, See also:John Stanyan Bigg (1826-1865), Dobell, Alexander Smith, and, according to some critics, Gerald See also:Massey. It was characterized by an under-current of discontent with the See also:mystery of existence, by vain effort, unrewarded struggle, sceptical unrest,. and anuneasy straining after the unattainable. It thus ;faithfully reflected a certain phase of 19th See also:century thought. The productions of the school are marked by an excess of See also:metaphor and a See also:general extravagance of See also:language. On the other See also:hand, they exhibit freshness and originality often lacking in more conventional writings. Dobell's poem, The Roman, dedicated to the interests of political See also:liberty in Italy, is marked by pathos, See also:energy and passionate love of freedom, but it is over-laid with See also:monologue, which is carried to a dreary excess in Balder, relieved though the latter is by See also:fine descriptive passages, and by some touching songs. Dobell's suggestive, but too ornate See also:prose writings were collected and edited with an See also:introductory See also:note by Professor J. See also:Nichol (Thoughts on See also:Art, See also:Philosophy and See also:Religion) in 1876. In his religious views Dobell was a See also:Christian of the Broad See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
Church type; and socially he was one of the most amiable and true-hearted of men. His See also:early See also:interest in the cause of oppressed nationalities, shown in his friendship with See also:Kossuth, Emanuel Deutsch and others, never lessened, although his views of See also:home politics underwent some See also:change from the See also:radical opinions of his youth. In See also:Gloucestershire Dobell was well known as an See also:advocate of social reform, and he was a See also:pioneer in the application of the co-operative See also:system to private enterprise.
The See also:standard edition of his poems (1875) by Professor Nichol includes a memoir.
