ADOLPHUS, JOHN LEYCESTER (1795-1862)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 211 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
ADOLPHUS, JOHN LEYCESTER (1795-1862) , English lawyer and author, was the son of John
Adolphus
  (1768-1845), a well-known London
barrister
  who wrote a History of England to 1783 (1802), a History of France from 1790 (1803) and other works. He was educated at Merchant Taylors' School and at St. John's College,
Oxford
 . In 1821 he published Letters to Richard
Heber
 , Esq., in which he discussed the authorship of the then
anonymous
  Waverley novels, and fixed it upon Sir Walter Scott. This conclusion was based on the resemblance of the novels in general style and method to the poems acknowledged by Scott. Scott thought at first that the letters were written by Reginald
Heber
 , afterwards
bishop
  of Calcutta, and the discovery of J. L.
Adolphus
 's identity led to a warm friend-ship. Adolphus was called to the bar in 1822, and his Circuiteers, an Eclogue, is a parody of the style of two of his colleagues on the northern circuit. He became judge of the Marylebone County
Court
  in 1852, and was a bencher of the Inner Temple. He was the author of Letters from Spain in 2856 and 1857 (1858), and was completing his father's History of England at the time of his death on the 24th of December 1862.
