HIGGINS, MATTHEW JAMES

HIGGINS, MATTHEW JAMES
   essayist, wrote under the nom de plume of "Jacob Omnium," born at Benown, Ireland; was educated at Eton and Oxford, and spent many years in European travel; his numerous papers, which appeared in the leading magazines and newspapers, were principally directed against social abuses, and are characterised by a humour and pungent irony not unlike his friend Thackeray's (1810-1868).
