Biographical history
Charles Greenstreet Addison was born on April 1, 1812, in Maidstone, Kent, England.
He was an English barrister and historical, travel and legal writer. He was called to the bar on June 10, 1842, by the Inner Temple and joined the home circuit and Kent sessions. Addison was a revising barrister for Kent. In 1838, he published “Damascus and Palmyra,” describing a journey in the Middle East. He then wrote a “History of the Knights Templar” (1842). In 1843, he published another historical work on the Temple Church. He was best known as the author of two legal textbooks, “Treatise on the Law of Contracts, 1845,” and “Wrongs and their Remedies, a Treatise on the Law of Torts, 1860,” which went through several editions in the UK and US. His book "The Knights Templars" has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
In 1848, he married Frances Octavia Murray (1849- ). He died on February 19, 1866, in London, England.
