Claudius James Erskine
Claudius James Erskine (20 May 1821–6 June 1893) was a British civil servant, judge, educator, and orientalist. Erskine was part of the Indian Civil Service, and worked for the Governor of Bombay, Sir George Arthur. Erskine was a scholar and translator, and he worked in the government's Persian department. He worked to improve education, and became the first "director of public instruction" in the west of India. He was also a judge and a legislator. He was the third vice-chancellor of the University of Calcutta.
Claudius James Erskine was born on 20 May 1821 at Bombay in the East India Company's Bombay Presidency. He was the son of William Erskine, a historian and civil servant from Edinburgh who worked in India. Claudius James was the second of William Erskine's sons. His mother was Maitland Mackintosh. She was the second daughter of James Mackintosh.
Erskine went to both the University of St Andrews and the University of Edinburgh. Then he studied at the East India Company College at Haileybury in Hertfordshire.
He returned to Bombay in 1840. In 1843, Erskine became the private secretary of Sir George Arthur, the governor of the Bombay Presidency. In 1847, Erskine became deputy secretary in the government's Persian department and a translator. Then he became secretary of the Bombay government's general department and its judicial department.
In 1854, Erskine published his father's work on the early Mughal Empire. William Erskine had died in 1852, before he finished the book, so his son Claudius finished the work and published it as "A History of India under the Two First Sovereigns of the House of Taimur, Báber and Humáyun". In 1855, Erskine became director of public instruction. He was the first person in this position in western India. During 1859 he was a judge in the Konkan region. In 1860 he became a member of the new Imperial Legislative Council.
On 8 April 1862, Erskine became vice-chancellor of the University of Calcutta, after William Ritchie. In 1862, Erskine started to be a judge on the Bombay high court. On 26 March 1863, Erskine stopped being vice-chancellor of the University of Calcutta, and Henry Sumner Maine became vice-chancellor.
In 1865, Erskine became a member of the Bombay Legislative Council. In April 1866, Erskine joined the Bombay Geographical Society and became its president.
In 1867 Erskine retired. In March 1867 he resigned the presidency of the Bombay Geographical Society and planned to return to Europe.
Erskine had retired for health reasons. He returned to Britain and died near Hyde Park, London, on 6 June 1893.
In 1847, Erskine married Emily Georgina Reid, daughter of Lestock Reid, who was then acting as the governor of Bombay.
Erskine had a collection of objects and manuscripts from Asia. Some of these are now in the British Museum and the British Library.
