WILLIAM COSMO (1840—1901) , See also:English poet and critic, was See also:born in' See also:London on the 18th of See also:March 184o. His See also:father, See also:Cyril See also:John Monkhouse, was a See also:solicitor; his See also:mother's See also:maiden name was Delafosse. He was educated at St See also:Paul's School, quitting it at seventeen to enter the See also:board of See also:trade as a junior supplementary clerk, from which grade he See also:rose eventually to be the assistant-secretary to the, See also:finance See also:department of the 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 ")
office. In 187o—1871 he visited See also:South See also:America in connexion with the See also:hospital See also:accommodation for See also:seamen at See also:Valparaiso and. other ports; and he served on different departmental committees, notably that of 1894—1896 on the See also:Mercantile Marine Fund. He was twice married: first, to Laura, daughter of See also:- JAMES

Cosmo Monkhouse was one of those who have not only a vocation, but an avocation. His first See also:bias was to See also:poetry, and in 1865 he issued A See also:Dream of Idleness and Other Poems, a collection strongly coloured by his admiration for See also:Wordsworth and See also:Tennyson. It was marked by exceptional maturity, and scarcely received the recognition it deserved. Owing perhaps to this circumstance, it was not till 1890 that he put forth See also:Corn and Poppies, a collection which contains at least one memorable effort in the well-known " Dead March." Five years later appeared a limited edition of the striking ballad of The See also:Christ upon the See also:- HILL

Hill, illustrated with etchings by Mr William See also:Strang. After his See also:death his poetical output was completed by See also:Pasiteles the See also:Elder and other Poems (including The Christ upon the Hill). In 1868 Monkhouse essayed a novel, A Question of See also:Honour. Then, after preluding with a See also:Life of See also:Turner in the " See also:Great Artists See also:Series " (1879), he devoted himself almost exclusively to See also:art See also:criticism. Besides many contributions to the See also:Academy, the Saturday See also:Review, the See also:Magazine of Art and other See also:periodicals,
he published volumes on The See also:Italian Pre-Raphaelites (1887),
The Earlier English See also:Water-See also:Colour Painters (1890 and 1897),
In the See also:National See also:Gallery (1895) and See also:British Contemporary
Artists (1899). He was a contributor to the Dict. Nat. Biog. from the beginning. Monkhouse also wrote an excellent Memoir of See also:Leigh See also:Hunt in the " Great Writers Series " (1887). As an art critic Monkhouse's judgments were highly valued; and he had the rare See also:gift of differing without offending, while he invariably secured respect for his honesty and ability. As a poet, his ambition was so wide and his devotion to the art so thorough, that it is difficult not to regret the slender bulk of his See also:legacy to posterity.
