Obituary: Professor John Wesley Hales (1914)
“ Having married in 1867, when he was called to the Bar by Lincoln's Inn, he settled at Primrose-hill, where he lived for the rest of his life. He had already held several educational appointments, as a schoolmaster and University Extension lecturer, and he lectured successively at Bedford College and King's College School, until in 1882 he succeeded Professor Brewer in the Chair of English at King's College. ”
