Frederick James Furnivall (1825-1910) had a keen interest in social reform and helped to found the Working Men's College, London, 1854. An outspoken agnostic, he became (1861) editor of the Philological Society's suggested English Dictionary, which developed into the New English Dictionary of Oxford. He founded the Early English Text Society, 1864, and Chaucer society, 1868, also editing Chaucer's works and achieving similar esteem in literary circles to Thomas Wise. In 1873 he established the New Shakespeare Society, of which Eleanor Marx was a member. He went on to supervise the issue of photographic facsimiles of Shakespeare's quartos, and founded the Wicliff, Browning and Shelley societies, greatly extending Browning's popularity. He lost a substantial fortune inherited from his father on the failure of Overend and Gurney's Bank in 1867.
