BiographyHistory

'Thomas Kibble Hervey, born in Scotland, was educated at the grammar school in Manchester and worked as a law clerk before study at Cambridge (Caius College, 1822, Trinity College, 1823). There he composed his first volume, Australia, the success of which led him to pursue a literary career. Hervey was editor of Friendship's Offering (1826-27), The Amaranth (1839), and contributed to the Athenaeum, which he edited from 1846 to 1853. He was a frequent contributor to gift books and annuals.'
