Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LATROBE, CHARLES JOSEPH (18o11875) , Australian
governor
 , was born in London on the loth of
March
  18o1. The Latrobes were of Huguenot extraction, and belonged to the Moravian community, of which the father and grandfather of C. J. Latrobe were ministers. His father, Christian Ignatius Latrobe (17581836), a musician of some note, did good service in the direction of popularizing classical music in England by his Selection of Sacred Music from the Works of the most Eminent Composers of Germany and Italy (6 vols., 18061825). C. J. Latrobe was an excellent mountaineer, and made some important ascents in Switzerland in 18241826. In 1832 he went to
America with
Count
  Albert Pourtales, and in 1834 crossed the prairies from New Orleans to
Mexico
  with Washington Irving. In 1837 he was invested with a government commission in the West Indies, and two years later was made superintendent of the Port Philip
district
  of New
South
  Wales. When Port Philip was erected into a
separate
  colony as Victoria in 1851, Latrobe became lieutenant-
governor
 . The discovery of gold in that year attracted enormous numbers of immigrants annually. Latrobe discharged the difficult duties of government at this
critical
  period with tact and success. He retired in 1854, became C. B. in 1858 and died in London on the 2nd of December 1875. Beside some volumes of travel he published a volume of poems, The Solace of Song (1837).
See Brief Notices of the Latrobe Family (1864), a privately printed
translation
  of an article revised by members of the family in the Moravian Briiderbote (November 1864).
