Henry Peter Brougham, 1st Baron Brougham and Vaux (1778–1868): The son of a Westmorland squire, Brougham grew up in Edinburgh and became one of the principal contributors to the Edinburgh Review. Brougham’s radical Whig opinions, expressed in the Edinburgh, provoked Scott and others into founding the Quarterly Review, for which Southey wrote scores of articles. Brougham’s politics also brought him into conflict with Southey at the Westmorland elections of 1818 and 1820, when, as a Whig candidate standing against the candidates of the Earl of Lonsdale, whom Southey and Wordsworth supported, Brougham attacked the influence in the nation of aristocrats and their placemen. Brougham also attacked Southey from the hustings during the 1818 election as a supporter of the Lonsdale cause. This incident led Southey to harbour a life-long dislike for Brougham, and he had to be dissuaded from publishing a pamphlet in response. Brougham was intermittently an MP from 1810 onwards and served as Lord Chancellor 1830–1834.
