DALTON, Henry Robert S(amuel)

(1835-?)

   UK writer, active to about 1890, whose sf novel Lesbia Newman (1889) depicts a profound change in UK social attitudes after a disastrous 1890s loss of territory to European powers and the USA, as a consequence of which the eponymous female manages to seduce the Ecumenical Council of 1900 into proclaiming the worship of women.
