CLARK, WILLIAM GEORGE English classical and Shakespearian scholar, was born at Barford Hall, Darlington, in March 1821 and died at York on Nov. 6, 1878. In 1853 Clark had taken orders, but left the church in 187o after the passing of the Clerical Disabilities Act, of which he was one of the promoters. He established the Cambridge Journal of Philology, and co-operated with B. H. Kennedy and James Riddell in the production of the well-known Sabrinae Corolla. The work by which he is best known is the Cambridge Shakespeare (1863 66), containing a collation of early editions and selected emenda tions, edited by him at first with John Glover and afterwards with W. Aldis Wright. Gazpacho (1853) gives an account of his tour in Spain ; his visits to Italy at the time of Garibaldi's insurrection, and to Poland during the insurrection of 1863, are described in Vacation Tourists, ed. F. Galton, i. and iii.
