BAYNES, THOMAS SPENCER (18231887)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 557 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BAYNES, THOMAS SPENCER (18231887) , English editor and man of letters, the son of a Baptist minister, was born at
Wellington
 , Somerset, on the 24th of March 1823. He studied at Edinburgh University, where he was a pupil of Sir William Hamilton, whose assistant he became and of whose views on logic he became the authorized exponent. This teaching was embodied in his Essay on the New Analytic of Logical Forms, published in 185o, the same year in which he took his London University degree. This was followed in the next year by a translation of Arnauld's Port Royal Logic. In 185o he had become editor of the Edinburgh Guardian, but after four years'
work
  his health gave way. He spent two years in Somerset and then went to London, becoming, in 1858, assistant editor of the Daily News. In 1864 he was appointed professor of logic metaphysics and English literature at the university of St Andrews, and in 1873 the editorship of the ninth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica was entrusted to him. He conducted it singly until 1881, when the decline of his health rendered it necessary to provide him with a coadjutor in the person of Prof. W. Robertson
Smith
 . Baynes, however, continued to be engaged upon the
work
  until his death on the 31st May 1887, shortly before its completion. His article on Shakespeare (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 9th ed.) was republished in 1894, along with other essays on Shakespearian topics and a memoir by Prof. Lewis Campbell.
