Description

Henry Arthur Bright (9 February 1830, Liverpool - 5 May 1884, Knotty Ash) was an English merchant and author.Bright was born at Liverpool on 9 February 1830, the eldest son of Samuel Bright, J.P. (1799-1870 ; a younger brother of the pathologist Richard Bright), by Elizabeth Anne, eldest daughter of Hugh Jones, a Liverpool banker. The family pedigree goes back to Nathaniel Bright of Worcester (1493-1564), whose grandson, Henry Bright, was canon of Worcester, and purchased the manor of Brockbury in the parish of Colwall, Herefordshire, which still remained in the family.Henry Arthur Bright, who on his mother's side was related to Richard Monckton Milnes, 1st Baron Houghton, was educated at Rugby School, under Archibald Tait, and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he qualified for his degree, but as a nonconformist was unable to make the subscription then required as a condition of graduation. When this restriction had been removed, Bright and his relative James Heywood were the first nonconformists to take the Cambridge degrees of B.A. (1857) and M.A. (1860).
