C alled "a Poe in the minor mode" and "the preeminent writer of supernatural stories of his time," Fitz-James O'Brien is best remembered for two or three widely anthologized stories that border on science fiction and for a supernatural poem.

Irish Bohemian, American Fantasist
Fitz-James O'Brien
O f his life in Ireland and England very little is known. The available facts are so sketchy they do not include the names of his parents, while the tributes of his later friends contain statements that are sometimes contradictory. It has been established that Fitz-James O'Brien was born in County Limerick, Ireland on December 31, 1828. It is known is that he was an only child. His father was a lawyer or county coroner or somehow both and died when Fitz was about twelve. Whatever the father's occupation, he was successful, leaving a patrimony said to have been £8,000. Fitz's mother, described as "a lady of remarkable beauty," did not remarry for "a considerable time" though "when O'Brien was still a lad."
Fitz was educated at Trinity College, Dublin though "not in any profession." After college, around 1849, he went to London, where in the space of two and one half years he managed two remarkable achievements. First, he "squandered" his entire inheritance. But he was not idle, for he also published "a large number of poems, stories, and articles" in Irish, Scottish, and English periodicals. Thus O'Brien's Bohemian reputation was forecast; and thus illustrated the devil-may-care attitude by which he lived and died.
Other "facts" are dubious. He may also have edited a periodical devoted to the World's Fair. He claimed to have been in the English Army, but this has not been corroborated. He later referred to "one true love" he had known in Britain, who may have been a woman married to an English officer; she, he said, "marred his life" and he said he "could never love again." One published work from this period has been identified perhaps. The story "An Arabian Nightmare," published anonymously in Charles Dickens'

O'Brien's most famous and frequently anthologized story is published in the Atlantic Monthly and tells of an inventor of a powerful microscope who finds the image of perfect beauty in a sylphlike human in a microworld existing in a drop of water. He is obsessed with her and goes mad when her world evaporates. "What Was It? A Mystery." A fantastic tale in which the narrator is attacked by an invisible creature in his bed, forcing him to question reality. O'Brien's most sensational tale, it would influence Guy de Maupassant's writing of "The Horla." First published in Harper's New Monthly Magazine , it would be included in O'Brien's Poems and Stories (1881). "The Wondersmith," published in the Atlantic Monthly , is O'Brien's last important short story. It concerns toys that are turned into evil automatons by gypsies; the idea of the robot is one of O'Brien's most important contributions to science fiction.

Archibald Scott Couper [b. Kirkintilloch, Scotland, March 3, 1831, d. Kirkintilloch, March 11, 1892] independently introduces the concept of bonds into chemistry at this time. Couper also assumes that carbon atoms form the backbone of organic compounds.

Kime In the decade that followed his arrival in the United States in 1851, the transplanted Irish- man Fitz-James O'Brien (1828-1862) was a prolific literary journalist, producing a steady stream of contributions to newspapers, week- lies, and monthly magazines, in New York and elsewhere. As poet, short story writer, essayist, dramatist, and critic, he won a reputa- tion as one of the ablest of the young writers in the city of New York. The full range of O'Brien's talents was apparent only to his immediate contempo- raries, who encountered his latest produc- tions as they appeared in print from week to week, year after year. Soon after his early death the sense of wonder at his protean abilities began to dissipate. Readers during the Civil War fixed their attention on matters of more pressing concern, and meanwhile his works lay outside easy reach, buried in old periodical files. Although in 1881 William Winter brought out a one-volume selection of his poems and stories, for more than a century that single volume formed almost by itself the basis for O'Brien's continuing reputation.
