Talk:Thomas Edward Cliffe Leslie

Not English
Why is he listed as English? His family was of remote Scottish descent and had been in Ireland for over 200 years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.70.38.122 (talk) 21:18, 15 March 2007
 * Although Cliffe Leslie was born in Ireland and spent part of his youth there, he received his elementary education from his father, who resided in England. He went on to Lincoln's Inn and became functionally a British academic.  As the article explains, he held a "professorship of jurisprudence and political economy in Queen's College, Belfast. The duties of this chair requiring only short visits to Ireland in certain terms of each year, he continued to reside and pursue his studies in London, and became a frequent writer on economic and social questions in the principal reviews and other periodicals."  He  advocated land reform, but did not support Home Rule.Fconaway (talk) 23:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
