==Life==
The son of William Bell, he was educated in Wandsworth, London. In 1841 he went to Madras in the East India Company's service. He was a secularist and supporter of George Jacob Holyoake, who gave Bell's name in 1856 on a short list of those who had done most for the free-thought movement, and he had a share in Holyoake's "British Secular Institute of Secularism and Propagandism".〔〔''The History of the Fleet Street House: a report of sixteen years'', note p. 15, Cowen Tracts (1856). Contributed by: Newcastle University. Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/60202777〕〔Joseph McCabe, ''Life and Letters of George Jacob Holyoake'' vol. 1 (1908), p. 215; (archive.org. )〕 In 1851 he spoke at the first Free Discussion Festival, at the City Road Hall of Science. He was also one of John Chapman's authors. Bell was strongly critical of the East India Company, and its impact on peasant proprietorship in India.
After the Indian Rebellion of 1857, Bell lost his position in Nagpur, for complaining over the head of his immediate superior about the treatment of the Ranis of the Nagpur kingdom. In Madras in the early 1860s, he was secretary of the Madras Literary Society, and edited its ''Madras Journal'' in 1861. When Whitley Stokes moved to India, he successfully identified an anonymous translator of Omar Khayyám as Edward FitzGerald, much before this fact was generally known, and named him in the ''Journal''. In 1864 Stokes attributed the Madras (pirate) edition of the ''Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam'' to Bell.
Bell retired on half pay in 1866.〔(''2010 Sylvia Pankhurst Memorial Lecture, V. Irene Cockroft )〕 He was a member of the London National Society for Women's Suffrage in 1866. In 1871 and 1875 he was on the council of the East India Association, where he supported trust as a principle of imperial policy.〔George Birdwood, ''On competition and the Indian Civil Service: a paper read before the East India Association, Tuesday, 21 May 1872'', p. 2, Bristol Selected Pamphlets (1872).
