Thomas Falconer (classical scholar)
Thomas Falconer (1738–1792) was an English classical scholar.
==Life==
He was the son of William Falconer, recorder of Chester, by Elizabeth, daughter of Randle Wilbraham de Townsend. He spent some time at Brasenose College, Oxford, where he matriculated 12 March 1754; but left without taking a degree, and was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn on 20 June 1760. With chronic ill-health, he lived a life of studious retirement at Chester.
He took an interest in antiquities, and was a patron of literature; he was called by Anna Seward the Mæcenas of Chester. It was to him that in 1771 Foote Gower addressed his open letter ''A Sketch of the Materials for a New History of Cheshire''. He was a friend of John Reinhold Forster, who dedicated to him his translation of Baron Riedesel's ''Travels through Sicily, and that part of Italy formerly called Magna Græcia'', London, 1773. He died on 4 September 1792, and was buried in St. Michael's Church, Chester. A monument with a laudatory inscription in St. John's Church, Chester, perpetuates his memory. He never married.
