Henry Reeve (9 September 1813 – 21 October 1895) was an English man of letters and judicial official.[1]

Biography

He was the younger son of Henry Reeve, a

Schelling at Munich and under Ludwig Tieck at Dresden, became in 1835-36 a member of Madame de Circourt's salon, and numbered among his friends Alphonse de Lamartine, Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire, Alfred de Vigny, Adolphe Thiers, François Guizot, Charles Forbes René de Montalembert, and Alexis de Tocqueville, of whose books, Démocratie en Amérique and the Ancien Régime, he made standard translations into English.[2]

In 1837 he was made clerk of appeal and then registrar to the judicial committee of the

Orleanist
leaders in France survived all vicissitudes, but he was appealed to for guidance by successive French ambassadors, and was more than once the medium of private negotiations between the English and French governments.

In April 1863, he published perhaps the most important of his contributions—a searching review of Kinglake's Crimea;

duc d'Aumale, before the Académie des Sciences on 16 November 1895.[8]

His Memoirs and Letters (2 vols., with portrait) were edited by

J. K. Laughton
, in 1898.

In a March 1937 issue of The Times, there was an appeal for Henry Reeve's diary.[9]
