that "his practical writings were never mended, and his controversial seldom confuted," and Dean Stanley calls him "the chief English Protestant schoolman."

BAYLY, ADA ELLEN (_d._ 1903).--Novelist, wrote several stories under the name of "Edna Lyall," which were very popular. They include _Autobiography of a Slander_, _Donovan_, _Hope the Hermit_, _In the Golden Days_, _To Right the Wrong_, _We Two_, and _Won by Waiting_. BAYLY, THOMAS HAYNES (1797-1839).--Miscellaneous writer, _s._ of a wealthy lawyer in Bath. Originally intended for the law, he changed his mind and thought of entering the Church, but abandoned this idea also, and gave himself to writing for the stage and the periodical press. He is chiefly known for his songs, of which he wrote hundreds, which, set to the music of Bishop and other eminent composers, found universal acceptance. Some were set to his own music. He also wrote several novels and a number of farces, etc. Although making a large income from his writings, in addition to that of his wife, he fell into embarrassed circumstances. Among the best known of his songs are _I'd be a Butterfly_, _Oh, no, we never mention Her_, and _She wore a Wreath of Roses_. He may be regarded as, excepting Moore, the most popular song writer of his time.
