Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Brougham and His Early Friends, Vol. 3 of 3: Letters to James Loch, 1798-1809 Henry Peter Brougham, the subject of this sketch, was the eldest son of Henry Brougham of Scales Hall in Cumberland, and of Brougham Hall in Westmorland, by his wife Eleanor, only child of Dr. James Syme, minister of Alloa, and was born September 19, 1778. In the register of births for the City of Edinburgh appears the following entry: - ´30th September 1778. Henry Brougham, Esq., Parish of St. Giles, and Eleanor Syme, his spouse, a son, born the 19th current, named Henry Peter. Witnesses: Mr. Archibald Hope, Royal Bank, and the Reverend Principal Robertson.´ The education of the future Lord Chancellor was exclusively Scottish. He was first sent to the High School in Edinburgh during the Headmastership of Dr. Adam, and here he distinguished himself both in learning and eccentricity, on the one hand losing no opportunity of acquiring information, and on the other missing no chance of a frolic, especially if thereby he could bring authority into contempt.
