JOHN DORAN

'John Doran' (1807 - 1878), miscellaneous writer of Irish parentage, wrote
a number of works dealing with the lighter phases of manners,
antiquities, and social history, often bearing punning titles, e.g.,
''Table Traits with Something on Them'' (1854), and ''Knights and their Days''. He also wrote ''Lives of the Queens of England of the House of Hanover'' (1855), and ''A History of Court Fools'' (1858), and edited Horace
Walpole's ''Journal of the Reign of George III.'' His books contain much
curious and out-of-the-way information. Doran was for a short time editor of
''The Athenaeum''.
