Everything about Charles Henry Cooper totally explained
Charles Henry Cooper (
March 201808–
March 21 1866) was an
English antiquarian.
Born at
Marlow,
Buckinghamshire, he was descended from a family formerly of
Bray in
Berkshire. He was privately educated in
Reading. In
1826 he settled in
Cambridge, and in
1836 was elected coroner of the
borough. Four years later he qualified as a
solicitor, and in time acquired an extensive practice, but he began to devote almost the whole of his time to antiquarian research — especially on the history of the
University of Cambridge.
In
1849 he resigned as borough
coroner when he was elected to the post of town clerk, which he retained till his death. His earliest work,
A New Guide to the University and Town of Cambridge, was published anonymously in
1831. The
Annals of Cambridge followed (
1842–
1853), being a chronological history of the University and town from the earliest period to 1853. His most important work, the
Athenæ Cantabrigienses (
1858,
1861), a companion work to the famous
Athenæ Oxonienses by
Anthony Wood, contains biographical memoirs of the authors and other men of eminence who were educated at the University of Cambridge from
1500 to
1609.
Cooper's other works are
The Memorials of Cambridge, (1858–
1866) and a
Memoir of Margaret, Countess of Richmond and Derby (
1874). He was a frequent contributor to
Notes and Queries,
The Gentleman's Magazine, and other antiquarian publications, and left an immense collection of manuscript materials for a biographical history of
Great Britain and
Ireland.
