Buckingham, but the enterprise was not a pecuniary success. He also formed an intimacy with the See also:Spanish revolutionist See also:General Torrijos, in whose unfortunate expedition he took an active See also:interest. But he did not accompany it, as he was kept in See also:England by his See also:marriage to Susannah, daughter of Lieut.-General See also:Barton. Shortly after his marriage in 183o symptoms of pulmonary disease induced him to take up his residence in the See also:island of St See also:Vincent, where he had inherited some See also:property, and he remained there fifteen months before returning to England.

time on the See also:Continent in See also:June 1834 he was ordained and became See also:curate at See also:Hurstmonceaux, where his old tutor Julius Hare was See also:vicar. Acting on the See also:advice of his physician he resigned his clerical duties in the following See also:February, but, according to See also:Carlyle, the See also:primary cause was a divergence from the opinions of the See also:- CHURCH

Church. There remained to him the " re-source of the See also:pen," but, having to " live all the See also:rest of his days as in continual See also:flight for his very existence," his literary achievements were necessarily fragmentary. He published in 1833 See also:Arthur Coningsby, a novel, which attracted little See also:attention, and his Poems (1839), the See also:Election, a Poem (1841), and See also:Strafford, a tragedy (1843), were not more successful. He had, however, established a connexion in 1837 with See also:Blackwood's See also:Magazine, to which he contributed a variety of papers and several tales of extraordinary promise not fulfilled in his more considerable undertakings. Among these papers were " The See also:Onyx See also:Ring " and " The See also:Palace of Morgana." He died at See also:Ventnor on the 18th of See also:September 1844, his wife having died in the preceding year.
His son, See also:Major-General John B. Sterling (b. 1840), after entering the See also:navy. went into the See also:army, and had a distinguished career (wounded at Tel-el-Kebir in 1882), both as a soldier and as a writer on military subjects.
John Sterling's papers were entrusted to the See also:joint care of Thomas Carlyle and See also:Archdeacon Hare. Essays and Tales, by John Sterling, collected and edited, with a memoir of his See also:life, by Julius Charles Hare, appeared in 1848 in two volumes. So dissatisfied was Carlyle with the memoir that he resolved to give his own " testimony 'about his friend, and his vivid Life (1851) has perpetuated the memory of Sterling more than any of the latter's own writings.
