THOMSON, RICHARD, an English antiquary, born in 1794; died at his apartments at the London Institution, January 2, 1865. Little seems to be known of his early life. "He rendered," says the Gentleman's Magazine, "in a very unassuming way, essential service to literature. He had held the office of librarian to the London Institution since August 13, 1834. He took an active part in the preparation of the admirable Catalogue of the Library of the London Institution, and his thorough acquaintance with the books under his charge was only equalled by his readiness to take any amount of trouble to assist those who had occasion to consult them." This catalogue was chiefly the work of Mr. Thomson, who was occupied in its preparation from 1835 until 1852. It was published in four royal octavo volumes, and contained an excellent biographical and historical account of the Institution. Edward Edwards, in his Memoirs of Libraries, pronounces this immense work “one of the best productions of its kind extant." Thomson's first work, published in 1820, was A Faithful Account of the Processions and Ceremonies Observed in the Coronations of the Kings and Queens of England. This was followed in the same year by a curious work, limited to fifty copies, entitled The Book of Life, a Bibliographical Melody Dedicated to the Roxburghe Club. His next work, The Chronicles |
