William Stanley Roscoe (1782 - 31 October 1843) was an English poet and banker.
Life[]
Roscoe was the eldest son of Jane (Griffies) and poet William Roscoe. [1]
He was educated at Peterhouse, Cambridge, and became a partner in his father's bank.[1]
In his latter years he was serjeant-at-mace to the court of passage at Liverpool. He died at Liverpool on 31 Oct. 1843.[1]

He was well acquainted with Italian literature, and in 1834 published a volume of Poems (London, 8vo), which was eulogised in Blackwood's Magazine (February 1835, 153-160), though the verse is for the most part commonplace in subject and treatment.[1]
