E. C. Clark

Edwin Charles Clark (5 November 1835 – 20 July 1917) was a British legal scholar, barrister and antiquarian, who specialised in Roman Law.

The author of a number of books, he wrote mainly for the benefit of his students (such as introductory texts), and his works "had little influence and are seldom cited" by jurists.

[1][2] Clark was also an amateur antiquarian, with an interest in coins and archaeology,[2] and published a number of related papers.

[2] His mother and siblings died young, and so he was brought up with his father as his "sole companion".

[4] He and Mary had two children: one daughter and a son, Edwin Kitson Clark (1866–1943), who was an engineer and British Army officer.
