Absalom Watkin : ウィキペディア英語版 | Absalom Watkin
Absalom Watkin (1787–1861), was an English social and political reformer, an anti corn law campaigner, and a member of Manchester's ''Little Circle'' that was key in passing the Reform Act 1832.〔 ==Early life== Born in London to an Inn keeper, after his father died when he was aged 14, Absalom was sent to live with and work for his uncle, John Watkin. John was a cotton and calico merchant, who had a small weaving and finishing business.〔 With Absalom aged 18, his uncle sold the business, but the new owner Thomas Smith offered to retain Absalom as the factory manager. By 1807, he had raised enough money to buy Smith out of the business, on the back of which Absalom became rich.〔
