Mr. Peter Cunningham, F.S.A. - from a photograph by Cundall, 1856. British writer who '...delivered a lecture on Monday last, at the Sherborne Literary Institution - the subject, "Temple-bar"...Mr. Cunningham's great work (at present) is his "Handbook for London", of which a second edition is already before the public, and a third, with illustrations, is understood to be in the press. He is at present engaged on the edition of Goldsmith's works; and has been called in by Mr. John Wilson Croker to his assistance in the long-advertised edition of Pope. Mr. Cunningham, it is understood, has made great progress in a Dictionary of British Poets; and has large collections for that much-needed work, a Biographia Britannica'.
