Edward Spencer Beesly
Edward Spencer Beesly (; 23 January 1831 – 7 March 1915) was an English positivist, trades union activist, and historian. Life He was born on 23 January 1831 in Feckenham, Worcestershire, the eldest son of the Rev. James Beesly and his wife, Mary Fitzgerald, of Queen's county, Ireland. After reading Latin and Greek with his father, in the autumn of 1846 Beesly was sent to King William's College on the Isle of Man, an evangelical establishment whose inadequate instruction and low moral tone were later depicted in ''Eric, or, Little by Little'', by his school friend F. W. Farrar. In 1849 Beesly entered Wadham College, Oxford, another evangelical stronghold and the original centre of the English positivist movement. He held two exhibitions and a Bible clerkship.
