William Walton (writer)
William Walton (1784–1857) was an English writer on Spain and Portugal.
==Life==
The son of William Walton, consul for Spain in Liverpool, he was sent to Spain and Portugal at an early age to study the languages and train for a business career. Thence Via the Spanish American colonies, he became secretary to the British expedition which captured San Domingo from the French in 1802. He remained there as British agent, returning to England in 1809.
Living first in Bristol, and then in London, Walton concentrated on writing about the contemporary politics of Spain and Portugal. For the most part he advocated against the policy pursued by the British ministers. He took an interest in the question of naturalising the alpaca, and wrote essays on the subject, the last being in a competition for the medal of the Highland and Agricultural Society in 1841.〔
Walton died at Oxford on 5 May 1857.〔
