WILLIAM (1780-1842) , See also:English writer and bookseller, was See also:born at See also:Bath on the 3rd of See also:June 1780. His See also:father brought up his See also:children with the sectarian narrowness that so frequently produces reaction. Hone received no systematic See also:education, and was taught to read from the See also:Bible only. His father having removed to See also:London in 1783, he was in 1790 placed in an See also:attorney's See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")

Hone married is 1800, and started a See also:book and See also:print See also:shop with a circulating library in See also:Lambeth Walk. He soon removed to St See also:- MARTIN (Martinus)

Martin's See also:Churchyard, where he brought out his first publication, See also:Shaw's Gardener (18o6). It was at this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time that he and his friend, See also:John See also:Bone, tried to realize a See also:plan for the See also:establishment of popular savings See also:banks, and even had an interview on the subject with the See also:president of the See also:Board of See also:Trade. This See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme, however, failed. Bone joined him next in a bookseller's business; but Hone's habits were not those of a tradesman, and See also:bankruptcy was the result. He was in 1811 chosen by the booksellers as auctioneer to the trade, and had an office in See also:Ivy See also:Lane. See also:Independent investigations carried on by him into the See also:condition of lunatic asylums led again to business difficulties and failure, but he took a small lodging in the Old See also:Bailey, keeping himself and his now large See also:family by contributions to magazines and reviews. He hired a small shop, or rather See also:box, in See also:Fleet See also:Street but this was on two See also:separate nights broken into, and valuable books See also:- LENT (0. Eng. lenclen, " spring," M. Eng. lenten, lente, lent; cf. Dut. lente, Ger. Lenz, " spring," 0. H.

lent for show were stolen. In 1815 he started the Traveller newspaper, and endeavoured vainly to exculpate Eliza Fenning, a poor girl, apparently quite guiltless, who was executed on a See also:charge of poisoning. From See also:February r to See also:October 25, 1817, he published the Reformer's See also:Register, See also:writing in it as the serious critic of the See also:state abuses, which he soon after attacked in the famous political squibs and parodies, illustrated by See also:George See also:Cruikshank. In See also:April 1817 three ex-officio informations were filed against him by the attorney-See also:general, See also:Sir William Garrow. Three separate trials took See also:place in the See also:Guildhall before See also:special juries on the 18th, 19th and loth of See also:December 1817. The first, for See also:publishing Wilkes's See also:Catechism of a Ministerial Member (1817), was before Mr See also:Justice See also:- ABBOT (from the Hebrew ab, a father, through the Syriac abba, Lat. abbas, gen. abbatis, O.E. abbad, fr. late Lat. form abbad-em changed in 13th century under influence of the Lat. form to abbat, used alternatively till the end of the 17th century; Ger.

Abbot (afterwards See also:Lord See also:Tenterden) ; the second, for parodying the See also:litany and libelling the See also:prince See also:regent, and the third, for publishing the Sinecurist's Creed (1817), a See also:parody on the Athanasian creed, were before Lord See also:Ellenborough (q.v.). The See also:prosecution took the ground that the prints were calculated to injure public morals, and to bring the See also:prayer-book and even See also:religion itself into contempt. But there can be no doubt that the real motives of the prosecution werepolitical; Hone had ridiculed the habits and exposed the corruption of the prince regent and of other persons in See also:power. He went to the See also:root of the See also:matter when he wished the See also:jury " to understand that, had he been a publisher of ministerial parodies, he would not then have been defending himself on the See also:floor of that See also:court." In spite of illness and exhaustion Hone displayed See also:great courage and ability, speaking on each of the three days for about seven See also:hours. Although his See also:judges were biassed against him he was acquitted on each See also:count, and the result was received with enthusiastic cheers by immense crowds within and without the court. Soon after the trials a subscription was begun which enabled Hone to get over the difficulties caused by his prosecution. Among Hone's most successful political satires were The Political See also:House that See also:Jack built (1819), The See also:Queen's Matrimonial See also:Ladder (182o), in favour of Queen See also:Caroline, The See also:Man in the See also:- MOON (a common Teutonic word, cf. Ger. Mond, Du. maan, Dan. maane, &c., and cognate with such Indo-Germanic forms as Gr. µlip, Sans. ma's, Irish mi, &c.; Lat. uses luna, i.e. lucna, the shining one, lucere, to shine, for the moon, but preserves the word i

Moon (182o), The Political Showman (1821), all illustrated by Cruikshank. Many of his squibs are directed against a certain " Dr Slop," a See also:nickname given by him to Dr (afterwards Sir John) Stoddart, of The Times. In researches for his See also:defence he had come upon some curious and at that time little trodden See also:literary ground, and the results were shown by his publication in 182o of his Apocryphal New Testament, and in 1823 of his See also:Ancient Mysteries Explained. In 1826 he published the Every-See also:day Book, in 1827—1828 the Table-Book, and in 1829 the See also:Year-Book ; all three were collections of curious See also:information on See also:manners, antiquities and various other subjects. These are the See also:works by which Hone is best remembered. In preparing them he had the approval of See also:Southey and the assistance of See also:Charles See also:Lamb, but pecuniarily they were not successful, and Hone was lodged in See also:- KING

King's See also:Bench See also:prison for See also:debt. See also:Friends, however, again came to his assistance, and he was established in a See also:coffee-house in Gracechurch Street; but this, like most of his enterprises, ended in failure. Hone's attitude of mind had gradually changed to that of extreme devoutness, and during the latter years of his See also:life he frequently preached in Weigh House See also:Chapel, Eastcheap. In 1830 he edited See also:Strutt's See also:Sports and Pastimes, and he contributed to the first number of the See also:Penny See also:Magazine. He was also for some years sub-editor of the Patriot. He died at See also:Tottenham on the 6th of See also:November 1842.
