SPEDDING, JAMES (18o81881)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 632 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
SPEDDING, JAMES (18o81881) ,
English
  author, editor of the works of
Bacon
 , was born on the 26th of June 18o8, in Cumber-land, the younger son of a country squire. He was educated at Bury St Edmunds and Trinity College,
Cambridge
 , where he took a second class in the classical tripos, and was junior optime in mathematics in 1831. In 1835 he entered the colonial office, but he resigned this post in 1841. In 1842 he was secretary to Lord
Ashburton
  on his American mission, and in 1855 he became secretary to the Civil Service Commission; but from 1841 on-wards he was constantly occupied in his researches into
Bacon
 's
life
  and philosophy. On the 1st of
March
  1881 he was knocked down by a cab in London, and on the 9th he died of erysipelas. His
great
  edition of Bacon was begun in 1847 in collaboration with R. E. Ellis and D. D. Heath. In 1853 Ellis had to leave the
work
  to Spedding, with the occasional assistance of Heath, who edited most of the legal writings. The Works were published in 18571859 in seven volumes, followed by the
Life
  and Letters (18611874). Taken together these works contain practically all the material which exists in connexion with the subject, collected and weighed with the utmost care and impartiality. Spedding humorously emphasized his devotion to Bacon in the title of one of his non-Baconian works, Reviews and Discussions, Literary, Political and Historical, not relating to Bacon (1879); and his literary remains outside that one field are no longer of
interest
 . But as a Baconian scholar he is not likely soon to be superseded.
