Edward Withy : ウィキペディア英語版 | Edward Withy
Edward Withy (c. 1844 – 26 March 1927) was born in Bristol, England and in 1869 co-founded a shipbuilding partnership at Hartlepool that eventually became part of Furness Withy. He sold the firm in 1884 and emigrated from England to New Zealand, where he was elected to Member of Parliament in 1887, representing the Auckland electorate of Newton. He was the father of Arthur Withy, journalist and political activist. Like his son, he was a single-taxer (i.e. land tax) and follower of Henry George. ==Early life== Edward Withy was born at Bristol on 22 December 1844, of Quaker stock. He was educated at the Friends' School, Sidcot for 5½ years which he attended between 1854 and 1859. In 1858, whilst at Sidcot, he was one of three boys sent in successfully for the first Cambridge Junior local Examination ever held. The University records show that his Pass at the age of 14 included Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Hydrostatics - an evidence of his ability and bent, and of the remarkable standard of education reached over 150 years ago, when Henry Dymond was Headmaster.
