WILLIAM HURRELL, an English author; born in Devonshire, England, in 1849. He was educated by a private tutor, and afterward at Oxford, where, in 1871, he gained the Newdigate Prize Poem. He never entered a profession, though at one time he contemplated the diplomatic service. "The New Republic," most of which he wrote while at Oxford, was published in 1876; a year later "The New Paul and Virginia"; in 1879 "Is Life Worth Living?" appeared; in 1880 a small edition of "Poems," written, most of them, many years previous; the following year "A Romance of the Nineteenth Century," and, in 1882, "Social Equality." Other of his works are "Every Man His Own Poet"; "Property and Progress"; "Labor and the Popular Welfare" (1893); "Aristocracy and Evolution" (1898); "Reconstruction of a Belief" (1905); "The Nation as a Business Firm" (1910).
