Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
WALKER, THOMAS (17841836) , English police
magistrate
 , best known as author of The
Original
 , was born on the loth of October 1784 at Charlton-cum-
Hardy
 , near Manchester, where his father was a prosperous
cotton
  merchant and an active Whig politician. He was educated at
Cambridge
  and called to the bar, and after devoting some years mainly to the study of the Poor Law was made police
magistrate
  in Lambeth in 1829. In 1835 he started his weekly publication The
Original
 , containing his reflections on various social subjects and especially on eating and drinking; and it is in the history of gastronomy, and the art of dining, that this curious and amusing
work
  is famous. The weekly numbers continued for six months, and subsequently were republished, after Walker's death on the loth of January 1836, in an American selection (1837), in editions by W. B. Jerrold (with memoir) (1874), W. A. Guy (1875), and
Henry
  Morley (1887), and in another selection of Sir
Henry
  Cole ("
Felix
  Summerley "), called Aristology (1881).
