Jelinger Cookson Symons (1809–1860) was an English barrister, school inspector and writer. ==Life== He was born at West Ilsley, Berkshire, on 27 August 1809; his father Jelinger Symons was a cleric known as a naturalist. He was educated at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1832. In 1835 Symons received a commission from the Home Office to inquire into the state of the hand-loom weavers and manufacturers. He travelled for it in Lancashire and Scotland, and parts of Switzerland. He then held a tithe commissionership, and was a commissioner to inquire into the state of the mining population of the north of England.〔 On 9 June 1843 Symons was called to the bar at the Middle Temple. He went the Oxford circuit, and attended the Gloucester quarter sessions. During this period of his life he was editor of the ''Law Magazine'', up to its union with the ''Law Review'' in 1856. In 1846 he was appointed a commissioner to collect information on the state of education in Wales; Lord Lansdowne on 11 February 1848 made him one of Her Majesty’s permanent inspectors of schools, a post he retained through life.〔 He also concerned himself with the establishment of reformatories for juvenile criminals, drawing attention to the "colony" at Mettray in France. Symons died at Malvern House, Great Malvern, on 7 April 1860.〔 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「Jelinger Cookson Symons」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
