Sir James Henry Ramsay, 10th Baronet, FBA (1832–1925) was a British historian and landowner, who produced a seven-volume history of England and an original study of the revenues of its kings.
[1] He attended Christ Church, Oxford, taking first-class honours in classics in 1854 and in law and modern history the following year, graduating with a BA.
[2] As the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography notes, "Ramsay's most original contribution to knowledge was the work he did on the revenues of the kings of England, based on his study of the issue rolls, receipt rolls, and enrolled customs accounts in the Public Record Office".
[2] This had shortcomings and he omitted to search other relevant sources, but the approach was pioneering and formed the basis of his 1925 monograph, A History of the Revenues of the Kings of England, 1066–1399.
[2] His daughters included the classicist Agnata Butler and the politician Katharine Stewart-Murray, Duchess of Atholl.
