Crowe

Crowe, Eyre Evans, born at Redbridge, Hants, in 1799, and educated at Trinity College, Dublin, adopted the profession of literature, and wrote for the Morning Chronicle, Examiner, Blackwood, and Lardner's Encyclopedia, later on becoming editor of the Daily News. Foreign politics and history were his strong points. Besides many ephemeral productions he published Lives of Foreign Statesmen, The Greek and the Turk, The Reigns of Louis XVIII. and Charles X., and a History of France, the last being ranked as a standard work. He died in 1868. His son, Sir J. A. Crowe, C.B., K.C.M.G., is a distinguished authority on Italian art and commercial treaties.
