BUCKINGHAM, JAMES SILK (1786-1855)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 727 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BUCKINGHAM, JAMES SILK (1786-1855) , English author and traveller, was born near Falmouth on the 25th of August 1786, the son of a farmer. His youth was spent at sea. After years of wandering he established in 1818 the Calcutta Journal. This venture at first proved highly successful, but in 1823 thepaper's outspoken criticisms of the
East
  India Company led to the expulsion of Buckingham from India and to the suppression of the
paper
  by John
Adam
 , the acting
governor
 -general. His case was brought before
parliament
 , and a pension of zoo a year was subsequently awarded him by the
East
  India Company as compensation. Buckingharn continued his journalistic ventures on his return to England, and started the Oriental Herald (1824) and the
Athenaeum
  (1828) which was not a success in his hands. In
parliament
 , where he sat as member for Sheffield from 1832-1837, he was a strong advocate of social reform. He was a most voluminous writer. He had travelled much in Europe, America and the East, and wrote a
great
  number of useful books of travel. In 1851 the value of these and of his other literary
work
  was recognized by the grant of a civil
list
  pension of 200 a year. At the time of his death in London, on the 3oth of June 1855, Buckingham was at
work
  on his autobiography, two volumes of the intended four being completed and published (1855).
His youngest son, Leicester Silk Buckingham (1825-1867), achieved no little popularity as a playwright, several of his free adaptations of French comedies being produced in London between 186o and 1867.
