THOMAS HENRY, a novelist, the only son of Thomas Lister, Esq. of Armitage Park, was born in 1801. He produced three novels,—Granby in 1826, Herbert Lacy in 1827, and Arlington in 1832; all descriptive of the manners of the higher classes, of which the author was a member. Without displaying any originality or much skill in the management of a plot, these works are marked by shrewd reflection, a faultless taste both in thought and diction, and a faithful painting of fashionable life. In 1838 Lister published The Life and Administration of the Earl of Clarendon, which is now considered a standard biography. Previous to his death, in June 1842, he held the office of registrar-general.
