Abstract
Samuel Bailey was born in Sheffield, England, one of 11 children. His father was a cutler and merchant of substance. Samuel also became a merchant and banker. Throughout his life, he served on the Sheffield Town Trust (a quasi-governmental agency) and was twice a candidate for Parliament in the Reform elections of 1832 and 1835. Writing widely on banking, politics and philosophy, he lived his entire life in Sheffield, unmarried, and died there in 1870.
