Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MERIVALE, HERMAN (1806-1874) , English civil servant and author, elder brother of the preceding, was born at
Dawlish
 , Devonshire, on the 8th of November 1806. He was educated at Harrow School, and in 1823 entered Oriel College, Oxford. In 1825 he became a scholar of Trinity College and also won the Ireland scholarship, and three years later he was elected fellow of Balliol College. He became a member of the Inner Temple and practised on the western circuit, being made in 1841 recorder of Falmouth, Helston and Penzance. From 1837 to 1842 he was professor of political
economy
  at Oxford. In this capacity he delivered a course of lectures on the British Colonies in which he dealt with questions of emigration, employment of labour and the allotment of public lands. The reputation he secured by these lectures had much to do with his appointment in 1847 as assistant under-secretary for the colonies, and in the next year he became permanent under-secretary. In 1859 he was transferred to the permanent under-secretaryship for India, receiving the distinction of C.B. In 187o Merivale was made D.C.L. of Oxford. He died on the 8th of February 1874. Besides his Lectures on Colonization and Colonies (1841),he published Historical Studies (1868), and completed the Memoirs of Sir Philip Francis (1867); he wrote the second volume of the Life of Sir
Henry
  Lawrence (1872) in continuation of Sir
Herbert
  Edwardes's
work
 .
A tribute to his powers as an
original
  thinker by his
chief
  at the Colonial Office, Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, is printed with a notice of his career which his brother contributed to the Transactions (1884) of the Devonshire Association.
