Notes From Elsewhere

The Rev C N Barham, of Nottingham, who is a well known amateur of hypnotism and clairvoyance, sends St James's Budget the following - [...] Brisbane Courier, 25 Dec. 1890

Of the Rev. Barham I have been able to learn very little, not even his vital statistics. He was British, presumably a divine in the Anglican Church. He must have traveled to India as a missionary at one time, and retained an interest in propagating the gospel abroad. He later lived in Kent, where circa 1836 he married the daughter of a British esquire who lived in Calcutta. He apparently wrote religious songs in the 1860s, and was contributing to British literary magazines in the 1890s. Several websites confuse him with Richard Harris Barham, who was also a divine and who wrote The Ingoldsby Legends.

In the Westminster Review for February [1891?] C.N. Barham makes an urgent appeal for the abolition of child marriage in India
