Biography

Bunbury was the second son of Sir Henry Bunbury, 7th Baronet, and the grandson of Henry Bunbury; his mother was Louisa Emilia Fox, daughter of Henry Edward Fox. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge.[1] He was called to the bar by the Inner Temple in 1841.

In 1847 Bunbury was elected to the House of Commons for Bury St Edmunds, a seat he held until 1852. In 1886, he succeeded his elder brother in the baronetcy.

Bunbury died of pneumonia in March 1895, aged 83.[2][3] He never married and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his nephew, Charles.[3]

Work

Bunbury's two-volume history of ancient geography[4] published in 1879 is the first modern work in English which treats the textual sources with any sophistication.

He was also a contributing author to the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (1854–57),Шаблон:Sfn and to a number of other reference works. Samuel Sharpe thought Bunbury had plagiarised his work on the Ptolemies.[5][6]

  5. SS Diary entry 3 September 1850. "I certainly felt mortified on reading the articles on the Ptolemies in Dr. Smith's " Dictionary of Classical Biography." They were all written by E. H. Bunbury with the help of my " History of Egypt," and with-out any acknowledgment, though he even borrowed the volume from my brother Dan for the purpose."
