Henry B. Sloman (Lawyer)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry Brarens Sloman (born January 29, 1812 in Itzehoe , † June 8, 1867 in Pau , France ) was a German lawyer and author.

Life

Sloman was a son of John Miles Sloman (1788–1866) and his wife Regina, b. Brarens. He attended school in Hamburg , studied law and received his doctorate in Göttingen in 1835 . He then settled as a lawyer in Hamburg and was enrolled as such on June 15, 1835. In 1844 he married Rebecca Wilhelmine Behrens (called Minna), a daughter of the Hamburg banker Wilhelm Leopold Behrens (eg. Wolf Levy Behrens). In 1848 he was elected to the Hamburg Constituent Assembly and was the second vice-president from March to May 1849. During this time he introduced his cousin, the writer Eliza Sloman , to her future husband, the journalist François Wille . He was struck from the lawyers' registry in 1855.

Around 1855 Sloman relocated to France with his wife for health reasons, where they lived in Paris and Pau until his death . A regular guest there was also Adolph Behrens , an English cousin of his wife. According to the testimony of the Heine biographer Adolf Strodtmann , Sloman and the Hamburg water doctor Dr. Wilhelm Grabau was the last visitor to see Heinrich Heine's corpse in February 1856 . In Paris, Soman also had numerous contacts with German intellectuals, including the painters Ludwig Knaus , Franz Xaver Winterhalter and Rudolf Hennenberg ,

Henry B. Sloman died on June 8, 1867 in Pau in the south of France as a result of a long illness. An exact diagnosis is not known. His wife Minna went back to her hometown Hamburg after his death.

Sloman was a nephew of the Hamburg shipowner Robert Miles Sloman and the uncle and namesake of the Hamburg saltpeter importer Henry B. Sloman . His younger sister Hanna married the Hamburg water doctor Caesar Stuhlmann in 1849 , in whose water sanatorium in Stuer am Plauer See he often went to the cure. His middle name Brarens goes back to his grandfather, the Föhr navigation instructor and pilot inspector Hinrich Braren .

Literary work

In Paris, Sloman met the philosopher Jean Wallon , with whom he translated Friedrich Hegel into French. La logique subjective de Hegel is the first translation of Hegel into French. An English version of the work was also published later. In addition, during the years in Paris, he produced works on Leibnitz 's differential calculus and the game of chess.

Sloman maintained a lively correspondence with the Low German writer Klaus Groth . At times, he was also in a close dialogue with the translator and former Heine -Sekretär and Marx informers Richard Reinhardt with whom he translated some poems Groth into French. Around 1859 tried to translate Groth's story Trina into English.

Around 1852, Sloman is likely to have made a first German translation of Alfred Tennyson's cycle of poems In Memoriam , which, however, remained unpublished.
