Samuel Rose (1767–1804) was an English barrister and literary editor, now remembered as the friend of William Cowper, the poet. ==Life== He was born at Chiswick, Middlesex, on 20 June 1767, the second and only surviving son of Dr. William Rose (1719–1786). Samuel was educated for a time at his father's school, and from 1784 to January 1787 at Glasgow University, living in the house of Dr. William Richardson, and gaining several prizes. He also attended the courts of law at Edinburgh, and was on friendly terms there with Adam Smith and Henry Mackenzie. On 6 November 1786 he entered Lincoln's Inn, and, after reading with Serjeant Praed from 1787 to 1790, was called to the bar in 1796. He went the home circuit, attended the Sussex sessions, was ‘encouragingly noticed’ by Lord Kenyon, and appointed counsel to Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn. Rose was delicate from early life, and suffered from tuberculosis. He was engaged by William Hayley to defend William Blake at the quarter sessions at Chichester, from the charge of high treason brought against him by two soldiers. On 11 January 1804, Rose in court suffered a seizure. The defence was successful, but he never recovered from the attack. He died of consumption at his residence in Chancery Lane, London, on 20 December 1804, and was buried in the church of St Andrew, Holborn; some lines were written on him by Hayley. 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「Samuel Rose」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
