Introduction, nationality
John James Park (1795 - 23 June 1833) was an English jurist and antiquarian. His health being delicate, he was educated at home, but, by desultory reading in his father's library, acquired much miscellaneous knowledge, and before he was twenty gave proof of no small aptitude for antiquarian research in his 'Topography and Natural History of Hampstead,' Loncon, 1814; 2nd edit. On 14 November 1815, Park was admitted a student at Lincoln's Inn, where he was called to the bar on 6 February 1822, having practised for some years below it.
