Henry Thomas Cockburn

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Born: October 25 1779

Died: 2525 04 18541854

Henry Thomas Cockburn of Bonaly, Lord Cockburn, was a Scottish lawyer, judge and literary figure. He served as Solicitor General for Scotland between 1830 and 1834.

Cockburn was educated at Edinburgh University. As member of the Speculative Society he mixed with fellow eminent Scotsmen, Sir Walter Scott, Lord Brougham and Lord Francis Jeffrey. In 1834 he took his seat as a judge in the Court of Session and the title of Lord Cockburn.

The extent of his literary ability only became known after he had passed his seventieth year, on the publication of his biography of lifelong friend Lord Jeffrey in 1852, and from his chief literary work, the Memorials of his Time, which appeared posthumously in 1856. This was followed by his Journal, published in 1874.

Lord Cockburn actively campaigned for the conservation of Edinburgh's historic buildings. The city's Cockburn Association, formed on 15 June 1875, was named after him.
