Edward Bunbury
Sir Edward Herbert Bunbury, 9th Baronet (8 July 1811 – 5 March 1895), known as Edward Bunbury until 1886, was an English Barrister and a British Liberal Party politician.
Biography
Bunbury was the second son of Sir Henry Bunbury, 7th Baronet, and the grandson of Henry Bunbury; his mother was Louisa Emilia Fox, daughter of Henry Edward Fox. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge.[1] He was called to the bar by the Inner Temple in 1841.
In 1847 Bunbury was elected to the House of Commons for Bury St Edmunds, a seat he held until 1852. In 1886, he succeeded his elder brother in the baronetcy.
Bunbury died of pneumonia in March 1895, aged 83.[2][3] He never married and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his nephew, Charles.[3]
Work
Bunbury's two-volume history of ancient geography[4] published in 1879 is the first modern work in English which treats the textual sources with any sophistication.
He was also a contributing author to the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (1854–57),[5] and to a number of other reference works. Samuel Sharpe thought Bunbury had plagiarised his work on the Ptolemies.[6][7]

Bunbury with the help of my " History of Egypt," and with-out any acknowledgment, though he even borrowed the volume from my brother Dan for the purpose."
