Edmund Buckley, Esq. of Manchester, 1860. Creator: Unknown
Edmund Buckley, Esq. of Manchester, 1860. British, businessman, MP and chief magistrate. Mr. Buckley was born in 1780...and was soon set to work in the cotton and woollen manufactures of the district...[Now] the owner of a commanding fortune, every shilling earned by his own exertions, Mr. Buckley can still be seen in the counting-house or the board-room, doing his just share of every-day work with all the alacrity, and more than the patience and judgment, of youth...Nearly seventy years ago the subject of our notice began to work. He has worked ever since. He works now, at eighty years of age. If he had worked simply for himself we should not care for him; but he has not only built up his own fortune, but helped many of the young and the struggling to build up theirs. His money and his time too have been, and are still, at the service of the distressed or the deserving; and he is above that miserable weakness which leads too many rich men of his class to feel shame at the lowly origin from which the blessing of God has raised them. Mr. Buckley has been chief magistrate of Manchester, and sat in Parliament for Newcastle-under-Lyne for many years. He is a magistrate for several counties, and was High Sheriff of Merionethshire in 1858'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860
