Henry Thomas Buckle (24 November 1821 – 29 May 1862) was an English historian, author of an unfinished ''History of Civilization'' and a very strong amateur chess player. ==Early life and education== Buckle, the son of Thomas Henry Buckle, a wealthy London merchant and shipowner, was born at Lee in London. His delicate health prevented him obtaining much formal education; he never attended university. However, he received a high degree of education privately, and the love of reading he felt as a child was given many outlets. He first gained distinction as a chess player, being known, before he was twenty, as one of the best in the world. In matchplay he defeated Kieseritsky and Loewenthal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Henry Thomas Buckle )〕 After his father's death in January 1840, he inherited an ample fortune and a large library, and travelled with his mother on the continent (1840–1844). He had by then resolved to direct all his reading and to devote all his energies to the preparation of some great historical work. Over the next seventeen years, he is said to have spent ten hours a day on it.
