Viewing "The Autobiography of George Harris" (1888).


"The Autobiography of George Harris" (1888).

George Harris (1809-1890) did not have success at the bar. He lost money, made bad investments and was saved by marriage. In 1853 he became deputy court judge in Bristol; in 1861 he became judge of the county court in Birmingham; and the next year he was appointed registrar of the bankruptcy court in Manchester. He retired in 1868 and died in 1890.

His "Autobiography" is composed largely of a diary he kept for many years. Lord Brougham, a close friend, makes several appearances.

Harris is the author of the three volume "The Life of Lord Chancellor Hardwicke," originally published in 1847 (posted on this website).
