Charles Wycliffe Goodwin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Wycliffe Goodwin (1817–1878) was an Egyptologist and lawyer.

As a lawyer, he was called to the bar in 1848 but had many interests besides law. He contributed to the publications of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society and in 1860 wrote one of the articles in Essays and Reviews, to which he was the only lay contributor, writing alongside such great theologians as Rowland Williams and Henry Bristow Wilson.

Goodwin was appointed assistant judge in the supreme court for China and Japan in 1865, and died in Shanghai in 1878.
