| Hallam, Arthur Henry. Adm. pens. (age 17) at TRINITY, July 7, 1827. S. [and h.] of Henry [historian, of Boston, Lincs., for whom see D.N.B., and grandson of John (1747)]. B. [Feb. 1, 1811], in [Bedford Place], London. School [Putney (Rev. W. Carmalt) and] Eton (Dr Keate). Matric. 1828; B.A. 1832. Had visited Germany and Switzerland, in 1818, 'when he mastered French and forgot Latin,' and Italy, 1827-8. Began residence as a pupil of Whewell, Oct. 1828. Won the first declamation prize at Trinity, 1831, and delivered an oration on the influence of Italian on English literature; won another prize for an essay on Cicero. Impressed Tennyson from the beginning of their friendship as one who 'seemed to tread the earth as a spirit from some better [p.206] world.' Edited a reprint of Shelley's Adonais, Cambridge, 1829. Contributed an enthusiastic review of Tennyson's Poems, Chiefly Lyrical, to the Englishman's Magazine, 1830, which provoked the wrath of Keats' critic, Professor Wilson. On behalf of 'The Apostles,' accompanied Tennyson on 'the one romantic venture of his life,' a journey to the Pyrenees in aid of the revolutionary movement against King Ferdinand of Spain (see Carlyle, Life of John Sterling). Their equipment in this gallant expedition consisted of 'a small sum of money and letters written in invisible ink.' A frequent visitor at Somersby rectory, and became betrothed to Tennyson's sister Emily, who was charmed by his 'bright, angelic spirit and his gentle, chivalrous manner.' Adm. at the Inner Temple, Feb. 23, 1832, and in October entered the office of a conveyancer, Mr Walters, of Lincoln's Inn Fields. Lived for a time at his father's house, 67, Wimpole Street, where, Hallam said, 'you know you will always find us at sixes and sevens.' Began to translate Dante's Vita Nuova, and finished most of the Sonnets. Made a tour of the Rhine with Tennyson, in 1832. Suffered from a deranged circulation, aggravated by an attack of influenza. In an attempt to restore his health, accompanied his father on a journey to the Tyrol and Salzburg, but died suddenly at Vienna, Sept. 15, 1833. Buried Jan. 3, 1834, in Clevedon Church, Somerset. M.I. there. Until 1850, Tennyson was engaged in composing his obituary, In Memoriam A. H. H., which Gladstone described as 'perhaps the richest oblation ever offered by the affection of friendship at the tomb of the departed.' But other critics deplored 'much shallow art spent on the tenderness shown to an Amaryllis of the Chancery Bar,' or supposed that 'these touching lines evidently come from the full heart of the widow of a military man.' Gladstone quoted as a summary of Hallam's qualities, 'All-comprehensive tenderness, All-subtilising intellect.' Tennyson said, 'He was as near perfection as mortal man could be.' Portrait by Sir M. A. Shee, P.R.A., at Eton College. Literary Remains presented by his father, 1834. Tennyson christened his heir Hallam. Brother of Henry F. (1842). (Eton Sch.
