Sir Henry Echlin, 1st Baronet (1652–1725) was an Irish barrister, judge and bibliophile. He was the first of the Echlin Baronets of Clonagh, County Kildare. ==Early life== He was born at Ardquin, County Down, the second son of Robert Echlin and great-grandson of Robert Echlin, who was Bishop of Down and Connor from 1612 to 1635. His mother was Mary Leslie, daughter of Henry Leslie, Bishop of Meath (died 1661).〔Ball, F. Elrington ''The Judges in Ireland 1221–1921'' John Murray London 1926 Vol. 2 p.56〕 His father died when his children were still very young, and seems to have left his family in some financial difficulty. His younger brother was Lieutenant-General Robert Echlin (c.1657-c.1723), commander of the 6th (Iniskilling) Dragoons, and later a prominent Jacobite.〔D.W. Hayton "Robert Echlin" in ''The History of Parliament - : The House of Commons 1690-1715'' (2002)〕 He gained useful experience by working in the courts as a clerk while still in his teens, no doubt to supplement his income, and at the same time attended the University of Dublin; he matriculated in 1667, was Scholar in 1668, and became Master of Arts in 1703. He practiced for some time as an attorney, then entered Lincoln's Inn in 1672 and the King's Inns in 1677.〔Ball p.56〕 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「Henry Echlin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
