 of ‘Engravings from the Pictures in the National Gallery,’ published by the Associated Engravers; ‘The Ferry Boat,’ after F. R. Lee, for Finden's ‘Royal Gallery of British Art;’ and ‘The Castle of Ischia,’ after Clarkson Stanfield, for the Art Union of London. Although landscape engraving was his speciality, he also executed several figure subjects, more especially after the paintings of his son, Frederick Goodall, R.A. Among these were ‘The Angel's Whisper’ and ‘The Soldier's Dream,’ ‘The Piper’ (engraved for the Art Union of London), ‘Cranmer at the Traitor's Gate,’ and ‘The Happy Days of Charles the First,’ all after Frederick Goodall; and ‘The Chalk Waggoner’ after Rosa Bonheur. He also engraved some plates for the ‘Amulet’ and for the ‘Art Journal,’ the latter comprising ‘Raising the Maypole,’ ‘A Summer Holiday,’ ‘The Swing,’ ‘Felice Ballarin reciting Tasso,’ ‘Hunt the Slipper,’ ‘Arrest of a Peasant Royalist, Brittany, 1793,’ ‘The Post-boy,’ and ‘The School of Sultan Hassan,’ all after Frederick Goodall; ‘The Bridge of Toledo’ after David Roberts; ‘Amalfi, Gulf of Salerno,’ after George E. Hering; ‘Manchester from Kersal Moor,’ after W. Wyld; ‘Evening in Italy,’ after T. M. Richardson; ‘The Monastery,’ after O. Achenbach; and ‘Dido building Carthage,’ ‘Caligula's Palace and Bridge, Bay of Baiæ,’ and ‘Ulysses deriding Polyphemus,’ after Turner.

Goodall's fame rests mainly upon his plates after Turner, which are executed with great delicacy and beauty. He died at Hampstead Road, London, on 11 April 1870, leaving three sons, Frederick Goodall, R.A., Edward A. Goodall, and Walter Goodall [q. v.], members of the Royal Society of Painters in Water-Colours, and a daughter, Eliza Goodall, afterwards Mrs. Wild, who exhibited some domestic subjects at the Royal Academy and British Institution between 1846 and 1855.

[Art Journal, 1870, p. 182; Bryan's Dict. of Painters and Engravers, ed. Graves, 1886, i. 584.]  GOODALL, FREDERICK TREVELYAN (1848–1871), painter, son of Frederick Goodall, R.A., was a student at the Royal Academy. In 1868 and 1869 he exhibited some studies there, and in 1869 was successful in obtaining the gold medal of the Academy for an original picture, ‘The Return of Ulysses.’ He went to Italy, and seemed on the threshold of a successful career, when he lost his life by an accident at Capri on 11 April 1871. He was twenty-three years of age.

[Redgrave's Dict. of Artists; Graves's Dict. of Artists, 1760–1880.]  GOODALL, HOWARD (1850–1874), painter, son of Frederick Goodall, R.A., showed early promise as a painter. He exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1870, ‘Nydia in the House of Glaucus,’ and in 1873 ‘Capri Girls winnowing.’ He died at Cairo on 17 Jan. 1874, aged 24.

[Redgrave's Dict. of Artists; Graves's Dict. of Artists, 1760–1880.]  GOODALL, JOSEPH (1760–1840), provost of Eton, was born 2 March 1760. He was elected to King's College, Cambridge, from Eton in 1778. He gained Browne's medals in 1781 and 1782, and the Craven scholarship in 1782. He graduated B.A. in 1783 and M.A. in 1786. In 1783 he became a fellow of his college and assistant-master at Eton. In 1801 he was appointed head-master of the school, which preserved its numbers and reputation under him. In 1808 he became canon of Windsor on the recommendation of his friend and schoolfellow, the Marquis Wellesley. In 1809 he succeeded Jonathan Davies [q. v.] as provost of Eton. In 1827 he accepted the rectory of West Ilsley, Berkshire, from the chapter of Windsor. Goodall had the virtues of the ideal head-master of an English public school; he wrote Latin verses, of which specimens are in the ‘Musæ Etonenses’ (1817, i. 146, ii. 24, 58, 87). The second volume is dedicated to him. His discipline was mild, and he was courteous, witty, hospitable, and generous. He was a staunch conservative, and during his life was supposed to be an insuperable obstacle to any threatened innovations. William IV once said in his presence, ‘When Goodall goes I'll make you [Keate] provost;’ to which he replied, ‘I could not think of “going” before your majesty.’ He kept his word, and died 25 March 1840. He was buried in the college chapel 2 April following. A statue in the college chapel was raised to his memory by a subscription of 2,000l., headed by the queen dowager. He founded a scholarship of 50l. a year, to be held at Oxford or Cambridge. A mezzotint from a portrait by H. E. Dawe was published.

Mag. 1840, pp. 545, 670; Harwood's Alumni Etonenses, p. 354; Maxwell Lyte's Eton (1875), pp. 355, 371, 401–3.]  GOODALL, SAMUEL GRANSTON (d. 1801), admiral, was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in the navy in 1756, and on 2 June 1760 to the command of the Hazard sloop, in which he captured a French privateer, the Duc d'Ayen, at anchor on the coast of Norway near Egersund—an alleged breach of Denmark's neutrality, which gave
