Biography

Henry Elsynge (?1606-1656) was born at Battersea, the eldest son of Henry Elsynge. He was educated at Westminster under L. Osbaldiston, before entering Christ Church, Oxford, as a commoner in 1621 (B.A., 1625). Elysynge spent seven years in foreign travel, before he was appointed clerk of the House of Commons. He held this position until 1648, when he resigned in order to avoid involvement in the proceedings against Charles I. He retired to Houslow, Middlesex, where he died, and was buried in St Margaret's, Westminster. The entry at front of the volume is to George Pryme, M.A. (1781-1868), the only son of Christopher Pryme of Hull. George attended Trinity College, Cambridge, and was admitted to Lincoln's Inn in 1803. He was Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge University, 1828-1863.
