Hereditary Genius
303
Kennedy, Rev. Benjamin, continued—
g. Hall, engraver to George III.; his portrait is in the Vernon Gallery; was a man of
mark in his profession.
g. Her maiden name was Giles; she was the daughter of French emigrants; had
excellent abilities, that were shared by others of her family, as follow:—
u. Rev. Dr. Hall, late Master of Pembroke College, Oxford; a man of considerable
classical attainments.
uS. James Burchell, Under Sheriff of Middlesex; acting Judge of the Sheriffs* Court
for forty-five years; a man of eminent business capacity.
uS. William Burchell, most successful man of business; founder of important
companies, as the first Electric Telegraph Company and the Metropolitan
Railway, Lushington, Edmund; senior classic, 1832; Professor at Glasgow.
GF. James Law, Bishop of Carlisle; author.
GB. The 1st Lord Ellenborough, Chief Justice of the King's Bench. (See under
JUDGES
.)
B. Henry Lushington, 4th classic of his year; Government Secretary at Malta.
B. FRANKLIN LUSHINGTON, senior classic, 1846.
B. Charles H. Lushington, Secretary to Government in India.
The four following are descended from a second marriage; they have the
Lushington, but not the Law, blood.
U. Stephen Rumbold Lushington, Privy Councillor; Governor of Madras;
Secretary of the Treasury.
[U.] General Sir James Lushington, K.C.B.
[U.] Charles, Madras Civil Service; Member of Council.
US. Charles Hugh, Secretary to Government in India.
The branch of the Lushington family from which Sir Stephen Lushington, D.C.L.,
the eminent ex-Judge of the Admiralty, is descended, diverged from the one we
are now considering, in the fifth ascending generation from the two senior
classics. This branch also contains a considerable number of men of sterling
ability, and very few others. There are fully eleven distinguished men within
three grades of relationship to Sir Stephen Lushington.
Selwyn, Rev. Dr. William; senior classic, 1828; Margaret Professor of Divinity at
Cambridge.
