A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF 
[ST. JOHN 
was Arabella, daughter of William, sixth Earl of Craven. He 
was born at Chailey, Sussex, December 3 , 1809 , and educated 
at Midhurst School. In 1828 he was appointed to a Clerkship 
in the Treasury, but the employment proved irksome to him, 
and he left it in 1833 , when his uncle, Lord Bolingbroke, 
lent him Rosehill, a shooting-box in Sutherland, and he there 
devoted himself to the study of natural history. He married 
in 1834 the daughter of T. Gibson, a Newcastle banker, who 
brought him some fortune and sympathised with his pursuits. 
His career, however, was short, as on December 6 , 1853 , 
when starting on a shooting expedition, he was stricken with 
paralysis. He was moved to the south of England, but 
never recovered, and passed away at Woolston, July 12, 
1856 . He was interred in Southampton Cemetery, the skull 
of a favourite retriever being buried with him.
