Charles Isidore Hemans

He left England early in life, and, after residing in various places on the continent, finally settled in Rome and made Roman history and archæology his chief study.

He was the originator in 1846 of the Roman Advertiser, the first English paper published in the city.

He helped to establish the English Archæological Society there in 1865, and afterwards became its honorary secretary and librarian.

To English visitors in Rome and to English residents, he was always a friendly guide, noted for his amiability and modesty, and his writings are invaluable to students of Italian ecclesiastical history and archæology.

After a serious illness at Spezia in the summer of 1875 he was removed to Bagni di Lucca, where he died on 26 Oct. 1876.
