Thomas Barnes (journalist)
Thomas Barnes (11 September 1785 – 7 May 1841) was an English journalist, essayist, and editor. He is best known for his work with ''The Times'' which he edited from 1817 until his death in 1841.
==Early life and education==
Barnes was the eldest son of John Barnes, a solicitor, and his wife Mary, ''née'' Anderson. After his mother's death, Barnes was raised by his grandmother before beginning his education at Christ's Hospital. When the school moved to Horsham in 1902 he had a boarding house named after him. While he was there he was a contemporary of Leigh Hunt and Thomas Mitchell, later a prominent academic. From there Barnes went up to Pembroke College, Cambridge where he excelled both academically and athletically. While at Pembroke, Barnes studied classics, and he took his degree in 1808 as head of the senior optimes.〔Gordon Phillips, "Barnes, Thomas (1785-1841)", in ''The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', H.C.G. Matthew and Brian Harrison, eds. (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2004), vol. 3, p. 1013.〕
After considering a career as an academic, Barnes acceded to his family's wishes and embarked on a career in the law, moving to London in 1809 and entering the Inner Temple. While working at his new profession, Barnes joined the famous literary circle of which Hunt, Charles Lamb and William Hazlitt were prominent members. Barnes enjoyed the entertainments of the West End, and he indulged his appetites frequently, much to the detriment of his physical appearance.〔''History of The Times'', vol. 1: ''"The Thunderer" in the Making'' (London: Printing House Square, 1935), p. 198.〕
