丹尼尔·莱森斯
开创英国地形与古物研究
丹尼尔·莱森是一位英国古物研究者和地形学家,他出版了包括四卷本《伦敦郊区》(1792–96)在内的多部著作。他曾与弟弟塞缪尔·莱森(1763–1819)合作完成数部古物研究作品。 利森是格洛斯特郡罗德马顿的塞缪尔·利森牧师(1730–1804)与玛丽·皮奇·利森之子,曾在巴斯文法学校和牛津大学圣玛丽堂学习,1785年获得文学硕士学位,并追随父亲的脚步,于1789年至1800年间在伦敦西部的普特尼担任副牧师。在普特尼期间,利森在霍勒斯·沃波尔的鼓励下开始对伦敦周边地区进行调查,沃波尔任命他为自己的“随行牧师”。 1800年,他从叔叔丹尼尔·莱森斯(1727–1800)那里继承了位于格洛斯特附近的亨普斯特德的家族地产, 1801年5月12日,Lysons在巴斯与Sarah Carteret Hardy(约1780–1808年)结婚,她是Thomas Carteret Hardy中校的女儿。婚礼前夕,委托Sir Thomas Lawrence为Sarah及其妹妹Charlotte绘制肖像。尽管这幅画始于1801年,但直到1806年一位朋友注意到它仍留在画家工作室时仍未完成。 1813年,Lysons与Josepha Catherine Susanna Cooper(约1781–1868年)结婚。 利森的主要著作是《伦敦周边地区》,这是一部对首都十二英里范围内的城镇、村庄和小村落的历史记述。利森与其兄弟塞缪尔共同开始编写《大不列颠志》,即对大不列颠各郡的简明地形记述(1806–1822年),但在完成涵盖字母B至D开头郡县的前六卷后,塞缪尔去世,该项目遂告中止。丹尼尔·利森还为其他著作贡献了景观与插图,并出版了若干关于宗教与历史主题的小册子。
