Pishey Thompson : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pishey Thompson Pishey Thompson (1784–1862) was an English publisher and antiquarian writer, known as a historian of Boston, Lincolnshire. He spent the years 1819 to 1846 in the United States. ==Life== Thompson was born at Peachey Hall, Freiston, near Boston, Lincolnshire. He went to work as a bank clerk in Boston. In 1811–12 he ran ''The Enquirer, or Literary, Mathematical, and Philosophical Repository'', from Boston with William Marrat. Emigrating to America in 1819, Thompson was in business as a bookseller and publisher on Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington. There he became acquainted with Daniel Webster, Edward Everett, and other leading figures.〔 Thompson had numerous interests in the USA, including the settlement at Albion, Illinois, and was naturalised as an American citizen, but became bankrupt. He returned to England in 1841; and went back to the USA in 1843, to disappointment as far as his prospects there were concerned. His one abiding source of income was as a writer for the ''National Intelligencer''. Thompson returned to England in 1846. He died at Stoke Newington on 25 September 1862, and was buried at Abney Park cemetery.〔
