His main interests were literary. He contributed to The True Sun, The Morning Chronicle and The Examiner, of which he was literary and dramatic critic; and the influence of his powerful individuality soon made itself felt. Lives of the Statesmen of the Commonwealth (1836-1839) appeared partly in Nathaniel Lardner's Cyclopaedia. Forster published the work separately in 1840 with a Treatise on the Popular Progress in English History. It obtained immediate recognition, and Forster became a prominent figure in a distinguished circle of literary men which included Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Thomas Noon Talfourd, Albany Fonblanque, Walter Savage Landor, Thomas Carlyle and Charles Dickens. Nathaniel Lardner (1684 - July 24, 1768), English theologian, was born at Hawkhurst, Kent. ...
