"Robert Hasell Newell (1788-?1852) amateur artist and author, born in Essex in 1778, was son of Robert Richardson Newell, surgeon. Newell was a good amateur artist, having studied under William Payne. His edition of Goldsmith's 'Poetical Works' (1811 and 1820), in which he attempted to ascertain, chiefly from local observation, the actual scene of 'The Deserted Village,' is embellished with drawings by him, engraved in aquatint by Samuel Alken [q. v.] He likewise illustrated his 'Letters on the Scenery of North Wales' (1821), the drawings being engraved in aquatint by T. Sutherland. In 1845 he published a little book entitled, 'The Zoology of the English Poets corrected by the Writings of Modern Naturalists'" (ODNB). (Abbey, 524).
