Charles Wilson (1 January 1857 – 9 February 1932) was a New Zealand politician of the Liberal Party. He was the first chief librarian of the General Assembly Library. ==Early life== Wilson was born in 1857 in Harrogate, Yorkshire,〔 son of John Wilson, a chemist from West Park. He attended Harrogate College and whilst one online biography in addition lists the University of Oxford, other biographies suggest that as a young man, he worked in the woollen trade in Bradford before going to Paris and Lille, aged about 18.〔 He emigrated to New Zealand on the ''Otaki'', which reached Port Chalmers on 24 December 1879.〔 He stayed in Dunedin for a few months and then accepted a position as assistant master at Te Aro School in Wellington. In 1882, he joined the staff at the Wanganui Collegiate School, where he worked for three or four years.〔 He then had a career change and worked as a journalist. His first job was as a sub-editor at the ''Wanganui Chronicle'' in Wanganui, with subsequent employment by the ''Gisborne Standard'' in Gisborne, and the ''Evening News'' in Napier. He then founded and edited the ''Marton Mercury'' in Marton, a small settlement southeast of Wanganui. In 1892, he became editor of the ''New Zealand Mail'', which was a newspaper with a leaning towards the Liberal Party.〔 On 2 June 1894, Wilson married Lucilla Naomi Carter of Motukaraka, Hokianga Harbour. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Wilson (librarian)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
